The public events of Holland are known to every one who can and will read the newspapers, but they alone who are able to get a peep into private correspondence can be informed, though they will not all of them _believe_, that _Lord Beauchamp_ is actually giving dinners--aye, and good dinners too--at the _Hague_. * * * * * _THE TIMES._ Why change the head? This question will naturally come from the Public--and _we_ the TIMES, being the PUBLIC’S most humble and most obedient Servants, think ourselves bound to answer. All things have _heads_--and all _heads_ are liable to _change_-- Every sentence and opinion advanced and supported by Mr. _Shandy_, on the influence and utility of a well-chosen surname, may be properly applied in shewing the recommendations and advantages which result from placing a striking title-page before a book, or an inviting HEAD on the front page of a NEWS-PAPER. A HEAD so placed, like those _heads_ which once ornamented _Temple Bar_, or those of the _Great Attorney_ or _Great Contractor_ which, not long since, were conspicuously elevated for their _great actions_, and were exhibited in _wooden frames_, at the _East_ and _West_-ends of this metropolis, never fails of attracting the eyes of passengers, though indeed we do not expect to experience the lenity shewn to these _great exhibitors_; for probably THE TIMES will be pelted without mercy. But then a _head_ with a _good face_ is a harbinger or gentleman usher that often strongly recommends even DULNESS, FOLLY, IMMORALITY, or VICE--The immortal LOCKE gives evidence to the truth of this observation. That great philosopher has declared that, though repeatedly taken in, he never could withstand the solicitations of a well-drawn title-page--authority sufficient to justify _us_ in assuming a _new head_, with a _new set of features_, but not with a design to impose; for we flatter ourselves the HEADS of THE TIMES will not be found deficient in _intellects_, but by putting a _new face_ on affairs, will be admired for the _light_ of its _countenance_ wherever it appears. To advert to our first position. THE UNIVERSAL REGISTER has been a name as injurious to the _Logographic News-Paper_ as TRISTRAM was to MR. SHANDY’S SON--but OLD SHANDY forgot he might have rectified by _confirmation_ the mistake of the _parson_ at _baptism_, and with the touch of a _Bishop_ have changed TRISTRAM to TRISMEGESTUS.
