A great number of Contributions are still unacknowledged, and an equal number of Letters remain unanswered. The EDITOR'S apology for this apparent indifference to the wishes of those to whose information and assistance he is so much indebted, will be found in the following facts :- During an excursion to the sea-coast, for the purpose of recruiting his health, he was suddenly seized with an affection of the extremities, which, before he could return to town, had deprived him entirely of the use of both his legs and arms. While recovering from this visitation, and during a period of extreme exhaustion and debility, he was seized with an attack of Cholera Morbus, the spasmodic affections of which, as well as all the other usual symptoms, were of the most violent and painful description. These united causes have rendered him unable to perform many pressing duties, which must yet be postponed, until returning healtk shall fit him to resume his occupations with that vigour with which he hopes again to pursue the great object of his labours, until a change of system in the Government of India shall restore to that country a Free Press, and security from arbitrary banishment, without trial, for Public Writers; when the immediate exposure of misrule in that country itself, will render less necessary than at present the more tardy illustration of its evil consequences here.
If the Author of the Article signed "HUMANITAS," and dated Craven-street, Strand, will communicate his name and address in confidence to the Editor, the latter will feel obliged.
