FAIRS.--Middlesex to wit.--These annual gatherings cannot be postponed, for a good deal of business is done by help of the gilt gingerbread, toys, and pan-pipes. The scaffolding for the shows at the last two broke down about three weeks ago, and could not be mended in time. 732.--_Saturday, July 26, 1856._ MISTIFIED, not Gratified, but Pacified. My colours have been rather roughly torn away; but I am trying to steady myself by keeping a sharp look out upon the windmills, and nailing an old head of Don Quixote at the prow.--Tom. 733.--_Monday, July 28, 1856._ MANCHESTER, E.--My favourite clipper does not sail yet; so it is just possible that I may get some private news, which, you must see, is quite indispensable to support the public documents.--YOURS.--July 26, 1856. 734.--_Thursday, July 31, 1856._ IMMER der Deinige, aber der zweifel erscheint in der Ferne. 735.--_Thursday, July 31, 1856._ FEUILLE de HETRE to ----.--Your friend B. will soon call upon you, as of old. He will not allude to the subject, and pray be careful that you do not. Tell me if you understand. Why may I not write? 736.--_Thursday, July 31, 1856._ MANCHESTER, E.--I am still without any private news to support the public documents. You know that I cannot act upon these. The Britishers withhold all confidence from the straightforward, singlestick settler. However, I shall not cross the water yet, being determined to spare no reasonable efforts to settle successfully the question which has so long and anxiously occupied my attention.--Yours, July 30, 1856. 737.--_Friday, August 1, 1856._ A VOW.--1855, December 5th.--J. N09014. 738.--_Friday, August 1, 1856._ DER ZWEIFEL VERSCHWINDET. 739.--_Friday, August 1, 1856._ Z. Y. X., E.--The news you sent me from the opposite shore is most gratifying and important. You must allow for my imperfect instructions in the foreign tongue; but I believe I understand your intentions now, and, of course, I shall follow them exactly. I wish I knew our mutual friend’s hotel, for I feel that I ought to anticipate his visit. What can your last inquiry mean?--Yours ever. T. 740.--_Saturday, August 2, 1856._ A VOW.--Dec. 5, 1855.--J. N09014. 741.--_Saturday, August 2, 1856._ EMILIE, on the 22nd, sent No. 3, to Rmgviozx; on the 28th, No. 4 to the city, directed to our friend there. Have they your address? Give me full directions. Why not poste-restante as before?--July 30. 742.--_Saturday, August 9, 1856._ FEUILLE de HETRE to ----.--I read your advertisement on the 3rd of July, headed as above; since that I have seen nothing from you, nor have I advertised until the 31st, headed also as above, to which you have not replied. I intend writing to you to the old address, unless you tell me to the contrary. There must be an explanation, or you may mistake ignorance for friendliness. At present you little dream who has been your Highland friend. Reply to this, or say if you understand that of the 31st.--Ever your own.
