TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The letter of Mr. Brumfitt was received too late for insertion
in our present publication.
The letter of Mr. Woods is again unavoidably postponed,
owing to the press of parliamentary and other intelligence.
We are sorry that we have been obliged to defer until Tues-
day, the remainder of " the correspondence between the
Hastings family and Lord Melbourne," on which we had
Prepared some extended remarks. It is probable that
some further communications on the subject may be pub-
lished before our next.
Our promised observations on " the Colonization of Natal,"
are likewise inevitably postponed, in order to make room
for matter of a more pressing character.
We have not yet been able to procure a full and impartial
report of the proceedings at the Preston Sessions against
Mr. Charles Rowland. The report in the Manchester
Guardian, we are assured by a party who was present in
court, is extremely unfair and garbled.
" An Enquirer" wishes to know whether the sum of £24,800.
paid to the Woodside Ferry Company, by the Directors of
the Chester and Birkenhead Railway, is paid merely for
the unexpired term in the lease of that Company. Perhaps
the Solicitor or Secretary to the Company will be the best
person to apply to on the subject.
The letter and dishonest expedient of " A Precursor" are
worthy of a person bearing the name.
