UEEN of HEARTS.-Your conduct is very cruel, and can only inflict pain and protract suspense; so (if you do not desire that) write and inform us of your welfare. A sufficiently long absence has only served to render strong feelings yet stronger, and it is time now to decide on the point of the compass I steer. You promised to fill the canvas for me; and I expect at least two feet of fulfilment of promise.

O HIDE and SEEK.-I shall get my child, and the London merchant always has and always will pay 20s. in the £. By your deed my reversion is much improved, and as the trustees are to be changed, it is worth a good round sum; but you have received, since January 11, 1856, exactly £100 dividends on the Western of France, and if I pay the reward you must expectE.
