TO CORRESPONDENT&
The Letter on " Criminal Esendiem," is under consideration.

FALSTATIF was " not only merry himself, but the
cause of mirth in others." We aspire to a nobler merit,
and more exalted praise. We are not only zealous for
the public weal, but the cause of zeal in others :—not
only honest ourselves, but the enforcers of honesty in
others. We have in one fortnight achieved a triumph
which, in itself, would requite the toils of half a century.
We have reformed the Times ;—we " have made him
sure." We have compelled him to " assume a virtue
though he have it not." We have forced him to be
honest in spite of his sordid propensities, and villainous
practices. We have done much good upon him, and we
hope to do infinitely more. We have shamed him out of
his abject servility to " the patrons of the day ;"—burned
in upon him the infamy of his treason to the public ; and
aroused him to a remorseful sense of what was due to
those whose favor and whose confiding bounty raised him
to a station in which alone his energies, derived from the
same source, could be either valuable in the service of the
people, or mischievous as the auxiliaries of arbitrary
power. Our success in this patriotic attempt has been
so instantaneous—so sudden—so suprising, that nothing
but the unquestionable evidence of our senses, and the
conviction that has already been wrought in the public
mind, could satify us of its reality. —Do we cheat our-
selves with a fond delusion ? Do we say the thing that
is not ? Do we indulge an idle fantasy ?—" Is not the
truth the truth ?"—Look to the Times, and judge between
us. We have not devoted more than the application—the
iucessant application certainly—of a fortnight to the Her-
einem task ; and in that brief space we have perfected the
labour of conversion, and prevailed over the influence of
Downing Street—the dread of the Field-Marshal—the
arts of designing men, and eveu the yearnings of self-
interest, and the love of pelf: and in so doing, we have
restored a most efficient servant to the public cause. We
have converted the Times ; and henceforth, as in duty
bound, " the leading Journal of all Europe" will take
its tone and spirit,—yea, the very complexion of its
political temperament, from THE STAR. Henceforth,
no speculation will be hazarded, no sentiment promul-
gated, in Printing-house-sgtgare, that has not first re-
ceived the sanction of Pickett place. The radiance of
the Evening Star will be reflected in that bright morning
luminary, the Jupiter tonans.—The auspicious effects of
our indefatigable exertions have already become apparent.
Look at the Times, again we say, and judge between us.
If we were vain or conceited, or tainted with any un-
worthy littleness,—if we were influenced by any pride
but that proper, henget, manly pride which actuates and
distinguishes men of independent and nuvoirraiiihe
principles, we might slnidtextravessatly over left a via.
