Literary Notices.
Artegall ; or , Remarks on the Reports of the Commissioners of Enquiry into the State of Education in Wales . Longman . The principality has risen to a man in denouncing the report of the commission , which , truth to say , however correct in the main , has not been over kind in its expressions , it has not sufficiently understood the Welsh character . As a language , few would be desirous that the Welsh
should be the vernacular , although none would desire its extinction ; in promoting , therefore , the advantages of one language among our fellowsubjects , a language now that is acknowledged over the whole world , care should be taken to avoid , not to encourage dissention among those who know none but their native tongue . Educate the humbler classes of our Welsh fellow-subjects with caution and kindness , and there will soon be a change come over the scene . There are many observations in Artegall worthy the attention of the commissioners , which they will clo ivell not to lose sight of .

TO CORRESPONDENTS .
$ ^ WE are requested to state that Dr . Crucefix has altogether retired from London . His address is Grove , Gravesend , Kent ; where all communications should be addressed that are intended for his personal observation—indeed , letters for the Editor , under cover to him , will more immediately reach their destination . It is most earnestly entreated that , wherever possible , all communications may be written only on one side of the paper ; also that all German and other foreign words may be most legibly written .
We are requested by Dr . Crucefix , who is preparing for the Press an account of popular events in English Freemasonry , to be favoured by any Masonic papers ; more especially as relating to York and Athol Masonry—the trials of Preston , Whitney , Bonner , and others . His own escapade is complete . Furthermore—Dr . Crucefix desires us respectfully to intimate , that as in a great many instances he has not kept copies of his own correspondence with numerous esteemed Brethren , he
will consider it a lasting obligation if Brethren , possessing any letters written by him on important subjects , will grant him the loan of such letters , which will serve to refresh his memory ; such letters of course to be returned , if requested .
GENisrtAL . COOKE . — -in reply to several enquiries , we have much pleasure in stating that the charitable brother has sustained his position with moral power ; e . g ., he has qualified as a Vice-President of all our masonic charities—in this character he is Alone . ALPHA 1 . —We regret that we are not in the secret of the Masonic Provident Society alluded to . -USTITIA . —The ruling of thc Grand Master , that a brother ' s address shall be reported , whether desired or not , is an apt corollary on the folly , not on the wisdom , of the Constitutions , which can thus admit the cxerciseof the " sic volo sicjubeo" system ; the only remedy is to limit the Grand Mastership to three years , as the limit of the exercise of reason .
