ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to CORRESPONDENTS' P. Quarre's MS. has been sent according to his direction,

Our Poétical Correspondents have encreased so very much, that it is not in our power to insert all their pieces immediately. We shall, however, pay attention to them in their turns. and, during the recess of Parliament, hope to be able to pay off our arrears.

G. H. is informed, that any original Letters from eminent persons will be acceptable. We shall have no objection to treat with him or any of bis friends on that fubject,

C. A.'s pieces, intended for this month, were by accident millaid. They will be inserted in our next.

Crito's Letter is returned to the post office, where it is probable he may find it, if he enquires. We never pay the postage for such nonsense. AVERAGE PRICES of CORN, from May 15, to May 20, 1786.
