TO THE L ‘DIES OF ENGLAND.

MR. EDITOR ,—A Lady, who subscribed herself an up-
right, independent, and loyal Englishwoman to an article
inserted in a Sunday Paper of the 17th ult. addressed to
the Ladies of England, has most indisput ibly formed a
very just opinion of the precarious state of British manu-
factures en masse, and advanced many truly logical: per-
suasives for remedying such unprecedented grievances ;
among which is a singularly energetic appeal to her
countrywomen, that they should discontinue wearing
articles of foreign manufacture. But, speaking of one
house, near St. James's Palace, which the lady informs no
had amassed such a stock of Silks as were, perhaps, never
before shown at any depot in Europe, either for beauty or
elegance, but she did not add. CII EAPNESS (which at this
crisis snore especially is so important.) This lady further
observes, that beyond the royal favour, even the extraor-
dinary exertions and expence incurred, failed to elicit at.
tention or procure any degree of remuneration; and then
adds, that although the Drawing-room followed, this
splendid collection did not furnish more than from six to
ten customers for the articles provided. This is the only
paragraph for which the Lady has not assigned a reason,
and desirous that your numerous readers may derive the
necessary information on this, the most essential, of any,
the following obvious reason is assigned, viz. great
proportion of the dresses which graced the Drawing-room,
and, indeed, which grace every fashionable resort, were,
and are, furnished by Messrs. WAGNER and CHAP-
MAN, Emporium, Greek-street, Soho, that Atagasin des
.Modes being so universally proverbial for great variety, as
well as splendour, beauty, excellence, and, above all, ex-
treme cheapness; and, moreover, the Proprietors, to the
utmost of their power, encourage and promote the diffusion
of the manufactures of their own nation ; and it is with
peculiar satisfaction that they attest, to the honour of the
British Ladies, that the principal part of the nobility and
gentry, who patronise them, give a most decided preference
to the manufactures of the United Kingdom,—June let,

ANOTHER HITCH.—The Leeds inieiligen-

been doing for some time past—creeping on by degrees.

CURIOUS TEST OF A PREACHER'S TA-
LENTS.—Two friends in the north were a short, time since
disputing anent the comparative talents of tlneir respective
ministers. Both at last waxed wondrotu« hot on the sub-
ject, till at last one of them settled the question by ex-
claiming with all the consciousnosa of victory in the dis-
pute, at the same time addresing his opponent,—" Your
minister, Sir, is a perfect driveller—a downright squeaker.
When he speaks of a certain yentlenzan, the monarch of
the nether world, be calls him in a weak tremulous voice,
as if afraid to pronounce his name, the Deevil,' but our
minister calls him the Devil' at once, and more than
that, Sir, he does not care a for him."--.47yili
