i THE number of advertisements
have crouded upon us requiring!
attention, have precluded the
Bofibility of inserting this week, articles
■ en erally deemed more interesting; and
Re late hour at which these were mostly
■refer-ted, prevented a supplementary
M. et> which we propose in future to-fur
■iih, fliould the number of our advertising
■orrefpondents continue to increase :
■n jr indulgent readers however will not on
mils account be deprived of much news : for
no mail was received by either the last
■Charltfton, or Northern Post, we fliould
■have had to draw intelligence from the
■f un ds already in our poflefiion, which we
■confei's would not have afforded an abun
■ <bnt supply of matter, interesting from its
importance or novelty.
OUR literary friends will we hope
recoiled, that their lucubrations would be
gratefully received at the Herald Office, to
f ive place to the works of genius will ever
afford pleasure to the Editors ; and we
fliould imagine that those whose capacity
enabled them by their writings to serve us
and entertain the public, would from fiich
exercise of their talents derive no little
to themfeives. While we
5
solicit the assistance of our ingenious
friends, we cannot help noticeing an ori
ginal excuse, of a correspondent, for
not frequently favoring us with mental
productions, whose good intentions were
not to be questioned, and who was
himfelf clearly of opinion that he was cut
out for an author—He observed—that
“there were so many writers upon every
fiibject, that in truth there was nothing
left for him to write upon ; unless he
were to be a servile imitator of others; he
could write on old fubjedfs as well as any
body—but new things and new ideas in
this age of the world, were out of the ques
tion, and therefore he felt above writing at
ill.*’ To have excused ones felf from
writing, in confequcnce of the many calls
upon one at this buiy season, would have
been a common kind of excuse ; but to
have difeovered, that there was nothing
“left in the wide world'’ on which to
exercise ones mental powers, must, we
thnik, be an original difeovery of our
friend': and the exclusive advantages of
this ingenious thought, ought to be fecur*
ed to him by patent.
{ft Divine service will be performed
in Church this day at the usual hour, by
the Reverend Mr. Hull.
