The demand for the April number showed such a rise in the circulation as compelled a further issue , and the demand goes on ; but the supply to the publishers in London may be relied upon , and if subscribers will only order , early , no difficulty in transmission j ) f copies can arise . If the country booksellers are supine , which , from letters we have received , we rather fear they have been hitherto , your remedy is to write to us , and we will give them a " a most Fraternal blow up .

" A Brother , " " S . S , "" A Past Master , " " Y . " & c . & c .-We hope , before these lines reach you , the copies of the April number have come to hand .
