FROM S. R.--YOUR WIFE and FAMILY IMPLORE you to give them some ADDRESS. Although you (from the great anxiety I have been in) have seen little outward show, you cannot know the deep anxiety of my almost broken heart. Oh! that we could have communicated with you! The kindness of public and private friends, could they have drawn you back, would have reinstated you. I entreat of you to empower me to communicate with you. Did you see my advertisement in the _Times_ of the 12th inst.?

ANONYMOUS.--“CONFIDENTIAL.”--The “Good Fellow” would really be obliged if the “Friend” would help him out of the scrape by a little further advice as to the “party.” Direct the letter, with the Christian name in full, to No. 8.
233.--_Tuesday, November 17, and 20, 21, 1850._
I am sorry that you did not WAIT for our FRIEND, who would have explained much more than my letter. Pray reflect on the difficulty in which you place me. I am most anxious to help you, and you render it impossible for me to do so. Just ask yourself what single act I can do without your help? None. No one but yourself can sign or explain anything. If you persevere the consequence will be that the affair will pass into other hands, and half the money will be spent in law. You are not doing justice either to yourself or to me. You say you have acted deliberately; if you have you must have been ignorant of your true position and the consequences of your acts. Pray reflect. With your aid anything can be done; but without it nothing.--Douglas, viâ Hull.--_Nov. 18, 1850._

MOSS ROSE.--The Lady who clandestinely left her home on the 1st of May is most earnestly implored to RETURN immediately, or to write to “Highlander,” whom she so cruelly deceived on the evening of Wednesday. Feelings of the warmest affection, saddened, alas! by intense grief, incite this annonce (_sic_).
263.--_Thursday, May 15, 1851._

These last have appeared at intervals, but of course you could not understand. Alas, I regret to tell you, all, all is without success. £500 will now be given this week for an explanation by letter, and the same next week for a final explanation in Words.

TO NELLY.--“The MINSTREL BOY,” who left Gr . . . s T. n unknown to his friends about three weeks since. Was dressed in a rusty black surtout coat, common cloth waistcoat, trowsers marked with ink, and an old Caen hat. No ear for music. Pray return to your disconsolate friends. All will be forgiven, and Charlie will give up the front room.
286.--_Wednesday, October 22, 1851._
MRS. . . . . . N.--Be entreated. If you ever loved the father of your child, if you love your child, do not persevere in your absence, unless you would sacrifice A. F. or R. F. He is in a distressing state. For Annie’s sake, if not for his, a mutual friend prays you to WRITE at once to Mr. Hamilton, and say when and where you will meet A. F. The consequences of your silence will be serious.
287.--_Thursday, October 23, 1851._
Châtelaine wrote many days ago, but there was some mistake. Three received in all. Many thanks. Grandpapa is unwell, but sends his love to Châtelaine. Write soon.
288.--_Wednesday, October 29, 1851._
MRS. . . . . . N.--Your note has been received. It is evasive, cold, and cruel. It is incredible that you should be watched and coerced; if so, come at once to the man who is now fully prepared to be satisfactorily yours only, and for life. What accursed spirit holds you in thraldom, and can influence you to abandon your child and husband? In wretchedness he appeals to you against this influence. Let the feelings of your own good heart prevail. RETURN, if but for a few days, to your home, and confer with your husband. Nothing shall be done to mar your comfort or ease, but do not, for the will of others, sacrifice the peace of mind and health of the man you have professed to love above all others. Your husband, A. F.

C.

There are three sons, whom he never sees, and who, in his old age, afford him neither solace nor assistance. He will be rejoiced to receive the promised long letter.
291.--_Monday, November 10, 1851._
MRS. F . . . . . . . N.--The step you have taken has already had its effect. The letter received (indirectly) on Friday by A. F. was satisfactory, if you have acted in conformity with his entreaty. On Monday see our dear Annie, and I will meet you either at the Hudson’s in the morning, or at the Gate’s in the after noon, at their usual time: or any day but Tuesday.
292.--_Tuesday, November 11, 1851._
MRS. F . . . . . . . . N.--A. F. WAITED till 12. Can you not to your child spare one day from those who have so long engrossed your obedience, thoughts, actions, and feelings? Pause! Do not leave as you threatened. This day (Tuesday) see A. F. in the morning at friend Hudson’s, or at half past 3 where we parted weeks ago, on Wednesday, as arranged. +.
293.--_Wednesday, November 19, 1851._
MRS. F . . . . . . . N.--Is this not cruel? Two hours’ cold anxious waiting and watching. You evade meeting. You will not write. Come to R. F. at the same place, at 5 to-day (Wednesday): or on Thursday, at the same time and place, as on Tuesday. R. F. will wait till you come. Pray write to Hamilton. Do not go away!

CHATELAINE.--Why have you not written again? If you direct as your last, the LETTER will be forwarded. Grandpapa has been very ill in town, and consequently unable to comply with your request.

HUKKY BOY CHARLIE CALL ME FOOL--me cane. Lizzy, pray come home. Your husband and sisters are reconciled. All is arranged. One of your sisters is waiting your return at Notting-Hill.

LIZZY.--Your LETTER is RECEIVED. I am at Notting-Hill, waiting to see you. Pray, for the sake of all that’s dear to you, come to me, or I will come to you. Write at once, as I cannot return home till I have seen you. All are friends. All is secret as yet. Much has been effected for your comfort.

CIRCUMSPICE.--Box-moor, Herts.--E. W.

R----. Thank you for the INFORMATION given a few months ago, respecting the letters sent to P . . . . . r. Write by to-morrow’s post, please. Fear not.--London-wall. Tom. Try to understand this mystery, 10.
312.--_Tuesday, March 9, 1852._
TO EQUATOR.--Circumspice.--Your great ship, the Christopher Columbus, when laden with indigo, opium, or the most costly merchandise of the East, never contained so much wealth as stands on that said hill.--E. W.
313.--_Wednesday, March 10, 1852._
INDIGO BLUE.--Where and how shall I send my address? I, too, have grown cautious at last. Are you as entirely ignorant as you seem? Be candid and careful as to this.
314.--_Thursday, March 11, 1852._
NOT to EQUATOR.--You might have saved yourself the trouble, and been the richer by 5_s._ Tom is sure to go to the wall without your telling him. The Ten is particularly happy, the chances being 10 to 1 that he will cross Earth’s central line, and then, being as invulnerable as Achilles, he will have nothing to fear. Tom will understand this mystery without trying.--E. W.
315.--_Friday, March 12, 1852._
AU SIMULACRE.--You have only precipitated your friends into the abyss of destruction. Ou pardonne à ceux que l’on méprise.--E. W.
316.--_Friday, March 12, 1852._
INDIGO BLUE.--Was I to say that my mind had not formed an idea of you, candour would indeed be wronged; but diffidence arises when I put this question; what claim have I to such kindness? Please send your address by letter to Alexis, Post-office, Chester; and, in order that the exchange may be mutual, my card will await you at the Post-office, Clifton, near Bristol.
317.--_Monday, March 15, 1852._
E. W.--What have I done to call forth such cruel remarks? Let me entreat you to favour me with some EXPLANATION. Enemies shall not long triumph over us if you will only join me in this declaration. Do not despair, or on any account give place to the dishonour of foes. In so far as I am concerned the matter has been confined to myself.--A. B. C.
318.--_Monday, March 15, 1852._
TO MY BELOVED EQUATOR.--When I visited the Great Exhibition I fancied Hampden, though refreshed with the living water from the Crystal Fountain, frowned at me; I hope our great countryman is now convinced we have not degenerated, and that his impersonation has resumed its accustomed serenity. Ce n’est que le premier pas qui coute, c’est fait; et c’en est fait d’eux. Vous voyez, la Providence n’est pas toujours avec les forts bataillons.--E. W.
319.--_Tuesday, March 16, 1852._
HONEST, HONEST ALEXIS! What a strange coincidence! Remove the last syllable, and there was, once, a great man, one of the self-constituted, sacred race, known by that cognomen, whom I,--for which, of course, I shall never be forgiven,--transformed--as I intend to serve many more--into a city spectre. Honest, honest Alexis! may that never be your fate. Candour would then indeed be wronged.--E. W.
320.--_Thursday, March 18, 1852._
E. W. by TELEGRAPH.--What are you alluding to? SEND YOUR ADDRESS. Direct immediately. I was much disappointed at not receiving it on Saturday, and have been in the greatest agony ever since. You are freely forgiven; extend your mercy to Alexis.
321.--_Friday, March 19, 1852._

324.--_Saturday, March 20, 1852._
DOOR-MAT and BEANS TO-NIGHT.
325.--_Tuesday, March 23, 1852._
E. W.--Author of anonymous correspondence, look at home. Conscience does not accuse me of even attempting to deceive. You have, however, been playing the game of deception for several years, until, judging from your exasperated feelings, you are at last tired that your bait has not taken. Have you a conscience? This is doubted by some, whilst others think that you have, but that it dwells far beneath its usual seat. Alexis bids you farewell.
326.--_Friday, March 26, 1852._

DOUBTFUL Principles.--I by no means acknowledge this title. It is too bad of you. You are evidently laying to my charge things which I know not, and are crucifying me for the machinations of others. Where may I ADDRESS a Letter?

EIGHTH MAY.--Remember my request of the 14th May. Say no more. Don’t heed other persons’ advices or devices.
345.--_Wednesday, May 19, 1852._
C. J.--Look for the third in my name. It is difficult for me to communicate through the medium of a newspaper. “Sincere Regard,” exquisite taste, but apparently no faith. I am not ungrateful. I only wish for your ADDRESS by to-morrow’s post.--J. 1851 to 1852.
346.--_Thursday, May 20-31, 1852._
AT SUCH an HOUR, at such a place, on Friday, the 21st, at 7 o’clock in the morning.

359.--_Tuesday, June 29, 1852._
YOUR GOOD FRIEND regrets the step you have taken. Can it not be recalled till an explanation be given? Your honour and happiness are most sincerely desired.

WHERE the Teuton intermixes with the slave, and three of Neptune’s great European tributaries have their source, and also vile man is restored by the revivifying powers of nature; there, clothed in humility, sits beauty enshrined in youthful loveliness. La fin ou la lutte--à toi toujours.--E. J. W.
363.--_Monday, July 5, 1852._
BOCAJ.--All’s well! Every day lessens the dreadful separation. Being obliged to agree with two dear tried friends, who saw the last, no other communication can appear, but future benefit will fully repay the present very great loss. Time and silence cannot part such faithfully attached hearts. Farewell! Keep up spirits for the sake of the ever-devoted one. All must end prosperously. July 3, 1852.
364.--_Tuesday, July 6, 1852._
K. W.--I am not changed. Why so unkind as to think so? But may not time and absence lead you to forget, beset as you will be by trials and temptations? Can you resolve to resist them? To remain firm and faithful to the end? Forget not past dangers. Have confidence in the future. Endure for a short time longer. Be cheerful; be happy; and be sure of the constant devotion of one who doats on you.
365.--_Wednesday, July 7, 1852._
WONDERFUL! Thy star in conjunction with mine against the great globe itself! nor Afric’s poisonous vapours, nor Asia’s caloric, nor America’s life-absorbing ether, nor Europa’s invigorating breezes--fortune’s sycophants, nor adversity’s treason--shall ever loose those sharp hooks of steel with which I clasp thee to my heart;--France’s terpsichorean votary, Rome’s javelined gladiator, and London’s belted champion, were never lighter of foot, nor stronger of nerve, than Fortune’s spoilt and favourite child.--E. J. W.
366.--_Friday, July 16, 1852._
IF the Writer is not mistaken, a certain party has been, is being, and will continue to be trifled with by others, so long as absence is preferred to presence.
367.--_Friday, July 16, 1852._
K. W.--How is it NO COMMUNICATION is received from Quebec upon points respecting which candour and openness were entreated, that no mistake might hereafter occur? You are besought to let nothing stand in the way of such an explanation. Let it be full, unreserved, sincere--and be sure the future must be happier to all parties by its being so. Conceal nothing. Express your wishes distinctly--fearlessly. Do not suffer those you love to act in the dark. If changed in any respect, hesitate not to say so. God bless you. Write as before.
368.--_Monday, July 19, 1852._
ABSENCE is NOT PREFERRED to PRESENCE. No, no. But I must know positively if this is from you. Then I should be only too glad to tell all immediately.
369.--_Monday, July 19, 1852._
NO CHANGE has TAKEN PLACE.--All that has been hitherto attempted has been with the view to furnish you with full particulars and a distinct account of position and prospects, but it can only be done personally. Adopt the means which have hitherto failed once more, and you shall be put in possession of all you desire to know. Soyez heureux, and hold fast the faith.--Wonderful--fragile not frail.
370.--_Wednesday, July 21, 1852._
ABSENCE--Presence.--The advertisement of the 16th (but no subsequent one, mark this) was from G., who has had more reasons than one for discontinuing a distant correspondence, on which no reliance could be placed, when a nearer one was without effect. He is sure you do not know all. The truth has been sacrificed; he does not say by whom, but not by him. To this mode of correspondence he bids adieu.
371.--_Wednesday, July 21, 1852._
K. K.--The welcome LETTER is at last RECEIVED. Let similar ones follow, but with more information, as promised and not sent. Be assured on the subject about which you are anxious. Be patient; and above all things be faithful to the deep trust reposed in you, and the reward you hope for will surely follow. The attendant is going there (B--n), and will serve the party you desire if possible. Have unlimited confidence on that party’s good wishes to you.
372.--_Saturday, July 24, 1852._
TO the COUNTERFEIT.--Continue, and fill the coffers of this leviathan. Like the statue wanting at the celebrated banquet, though absent, I am all the more present.--E. J. W.

Yet are you forgiven; depart in peace; I rest in my Redeemer.

My country, my beloved country, nothing but my country.--E. J. W.

389.--_Tuesday, October 26, 1852._
TO my beloved EQUATOR.--Circumspice. Ungrateful Paris is dead; noble Achilles resuscitated, and no longer vulnerable, even in his heel, sits astride the Equator, and bids defiance, even on his own element, to great Neptune himself. On to the State affairs. “Domine, dirige nos.”--E. J. W.

391.--_Monday, November 1, 1852._
FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR. It was expected all last week, and will be every night this week. Come or write. Silence added to absence is a cruel and unnecessary torture.
392.--_Wednesday, November 3, 1852._
SINCE “FRIDAY MORNING” I _Die_ hourly. Where are you, and when will you return?--J. S.
393.--_Thursday, November 4, 1852._
A LA CROIX ROUGE.--Victoire. C’est fait. Soit. “Dieu me la donne, et gure à qui la touche.”--E. J. W.
394.--_Friday, November 5, 1852._
CIRCUMSPICE.--Corruption falls or I fall. “Il est trop tard.”--E. J. W.
395.--_Monday, November 8, 1852._
MY STAR AGAINST the ENTIRE WORLD! Neither the golden mountain nor the choicest beauty of Circassia shall ever sway my allegiance to my country. Richelieu. The pillars of corruption shall fall.--E. J. W.
396.--_Wednesday, November 10, 1852._
FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR.--My dearest friend, you have solved this problem wrongly, and are like Sisogenes, who made the error in the Julian Calendar, which led to very ridiculous results. I will now play Pope Gregory the 13th with you and set you right. Pride clothed in humility was merely a means to an end--the reintegration of outraged justice and the re-adjustment of her scales--and that end will be accomplished.--E. J. W.
397.--_Thursday, November 11, 1852._
FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR. A kingfisher has stolen the Ring of it, and Flybynight will founder.--E. J. W.
398.--_Friday, November 12, 1852._
VENTRE-à-TERRE.--Robb----o. Pardon. Thanks. Prove this false.--“Tis hard to wine and thrive both in a year.”--S.
399.--_Monday, November 15, 1852._
FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR. My dearest friend, the meanest garret in my native place, the eternal city, mighty London, is dearer to me than any palace, from the purple waves of the Mediterranean to the murky atmosphere of the Baltic. Pride, clothed in humility, though gifted with the beautiful eyes of Napoleon, on the same degree of longitude that made his fire new-stamped honour pass current, and though possessed of Aladdin’s wonderful lamp, will never sway me from my allegiance to my country--Richelieu. The pillars of corruption must fall.--E. J. W.
400.--_Tuesday, November 16, 1852._
FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR.--Solution--Invincible Achilles has pinioned great Neptune to the Equator, seized his trident, and with his triumphal car skimmed the boundless expanse of waters to hold communion with the Pearl of the great Eastern sea; Scandinavia’s gate has been repassed, and he now steers direct for the Pillars of Hercules: after razing corrupt and perfidious Troy to the ground, he will glide over the purple waves of the tideless sea, and pass in safety between the dreaded whirlpool and the six-headed monster--then, and not till then, the Kingfisher will restore the stolen ring, and honest pride, clothed in humility, and beauty enshrined in youthful loveliness, will be his ultimate reward! La lutte et (est) la fin.--E. J. W.

IT WON’T DO, I’m a true patriot.--E. J. W.
408.--_Friday, January 14, 1853._
IF E. J. W. did not oppose Mary (alias Emily) Pierce Crawford, daughter of Daniel Mereweather Ford, he would have applied, ere this, at 4, Spring-place, Black Lion lane, Hammersmith. A wilful error is maintained against justice, however, and truth to oppose my right. Why not come immediately?

SILENCE!
410.--_Tuesday, January 18, 1853._
SILENCE, Where?
411.--_Wednesday, January 19, 1853._
WHERE? Has my mission been fulfilled, or does vice prevail! That is the question.--E. J. W.
412.--_Wednesday, January 19, 1853._
SILENCE, WHERE! Why! “Silence in the Metropolis:” Silence on the railway is good, but “Silence in the Metropolis,” remember, is excessively better.
413.--_Friday, January 21, 1853._
INCORRUPTIBLE.--E. J. W.
414.--_Tuesday, January 25, 1853._
DIOGENES his LANTERN NEEDS NO MORE; An honest man is found, the search is o’er.
Incorruptible.--E. J. W.
415.--_Tuesday, January 25, 1853._
ALPHA the First, and GEORGE are Deceived. No mission but that of misery and ruin has ever been fulfilled. ’Tis cruel to add falsehood to injuries. Nor have I ever granted a person power to act for me. Incorruptible innocence need not shun the light.--Mary Emily, Hammersmith.
416.--_Wednesday, January 26, 1853._
THE KEY.--It is, and ever was, the favourite of the upright merchant Prince, not the prude of the coarse knight of the shuttle. Now you have my real motive of action--“blighted happiness.” Incorruptible.--E. J. W.
417.--_Thursday, January 27, 1853._
A LA CROIX ROUGE.--Victoire; c’est fait; soit. Que nos destinées s’accomplissent. Incorruptible.--E. J. W.

CORRUPTION’S Dead; the victory is ours. “Virtue no longer of vice shall pardon beg.” Incorruptible.--E. J. W.
