The MINIATURE PICTURES, OR, PLATONIC MARRIAGE A NEW NOVEL, By MRS.

Richardson, under the Royal Exchange. * * * * * Universal Register. * * * * * _A HOLIDAY AT ALL THE PUBLIC OFFICES._ * * * * * To CORRESPONDENTS Though much has been said of LORD GEORGE GORDON’S beard, yet, as the subject increases every day, THE TIMES will not let it pass _unnoticed_. The SHANDEAN _Jeu d’Esprit_ will of course be attended to, though perhaps with a little clipping. The CRITIC will do, so will other SQUIBS from the same hand. AMERICAN PHILOSOPHERS and PHILOSOPHY are entitled to the Protection of THE TIMES.--With ARTS AND SCIENCES we shall ever be at _peace_. On account of the great overflow of temporary matter, several articles of intelligence are unavoidably postponed. The favours of several of our Advertising correspondents, which were too long, and came too late for insertion, shall have places to-morrow. Parisian intelligence shall likewise have insertion without fail. * * * * * _TO THE PUBLIC._ VERBAL _thanks_, however warm in expression, cannot be considered the criterion of GRATITUDE. DEEDS, not _words_, prove _sincerity_, and by future endeavours to entertain and inform, THE TIMES will evince their _zeal_ in the service of THE PUBLIC, and their _feelings_ for the favours bestowed upon the UNIVERSAL REGISTER. MR. WALTER, _patentee_ of the _Logographic Press_, cannot omit his tribute of thanks for the very great encouragement which his endeavours to improve the art of printing have experienced--notwithstanding the unjust and illiberal measures adopted to impede its progress and injure him. An accurate statement of these mean and invidious practices he is determined to lay before the public in a pamphlet on a future day; at present he will only mention a very recent one. THE DAILY ADVERTISER being generally read by the lower orders of the people, he offered at its office an Advertisement for several apprentices, which MR. JENOUR, the Printer, refused to insert, though he had received payment several days preceding. * * * * * LONDON.
