Mr. Printer,
It seems that the Hint to the Pettifogger in your paper of the 20th June, was not much at random; as the Humdrum * Attorney (he call himself so) has owned it, and given a specimen of his scribbling talents, pretty equal to his oratorical. It is a compound of nonsense and pedantry. to show his knowledge in Latin, he confounds a Dropsy in the Head with a Watery Rupture, and speaks of Rogues, even as if he still were amongst his dear fellow citizens, the sweet, innocent, honest Jacobins of Columbia. The man is above cure, and only to be pitied.
I shall thus let him repose, and wish, for his happiness, [sic] That [sic] no stings of conscience may trouble his heart, callous to the misery of his poor deluded clients, but soft at the sound of gold - That he never once more may be kicked down stairs, by a Brother Attorney! or fight (armed with a parasol) rude battles against other Attorneys, and then prudently retiring to the precincts of his castle, alia his house, bawl out his achievements to the passengers! May his hypocritical cant continue to impose upon unsuspecting Woodcutters, and finall requiescat in paco, till he meets his true and well beloved Friend and Counsellor, Old Nick, in the regions of darkness and retribution.
July 2, 1807. A Subscriber.
* Humdrum, dull, dronish, stupid. See Johnson's Dictionary.

Mr. Printer,
Observing that the remarks made in your Gazette relative to the Ball and Supper given on the 15th ult. in honour of his Majesty, have drawn forth two letters in your paper of last Saturday, from parties who feel themselves alluded to in the 9th Toast, stated by yous as believed to have been given on that occasion, viz. "All well-wishers to the object of our present Meeting, and a speeding removal of its known enemies from the places they at present hold in this Colony;" I beg leave to pint out an error, which you have allowed to creep into your account of that entertainment.
The non-attendance of a certain class of the community, upon such an Occasion, was indeed remarked by the company present, but I pretty certain, that the Toast above-mentioned was not given, nor any other of a similar tendency; and I can positively assert that the 9th Toast was - "May Unanimity and Harmony ever prevail in this Colony!" The writer of this feels no interest or inclination to make any comment on the observations contained in the letters of your two loyal Correspondents; and for his part can have no objection that they should remain in the undisturbed enjoyment of the Cap, which they have fitted themselves with. Yours' &c. B. N.
Demerary, July 17, 1807.

(It will be seen that the following was meant for insertion some time ago. The delay was occasioned by the copy being mislaid, and we have to appologise to the Author for the seeming neglect.)
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,
It cannot but be notice, that events, however extraordinary, seem to excite curiosity here for a very short time. Even a late interesting Trial seems to have aroused only the strains of the Rev. G. Ryk, whose prolific Muse leaves no subject unsung. A paraphrase of a few of the Rev. Author's lines beguiled once a few minutes
At length, my Friend, determin'd is the cause!
And see, attemper'd Justice guards our laws!
Permit a pen the feeling scene to paint,
Extend Man's glory - raise Man's monument.
Let's enter then the dread, the solemn Court,
Of impartial Sages the fam's resort.
---- ---- ----
---- ---- ----
The Youth now hears [illegible] Accuser's strict demands
Death's image now ,th Youth with anguish stands!
In angry storms so droops the tender Bower.
The stem is shatter'd, and lost its balmy pow'r.
I am, Sir, &c. &c.

The following was written in a moment of [illegible]larity to a Gentleman of this Colony not remarkable for the overflow of his genius.
Extempore,
A comical thought having enter'd my head,
I took up my pen with delight.
Resolv'd if a Fool beside * * * * * * * * I found,
I'd to him my Epistle indite.
I studied, I labour'd, I puzzled in vain
(Believe what I say - it is true),
Not a Fool in the world ever enter'd my brain.
Till I luckily thought upon you!'
July 3, 1807. E. L. Eils. (?)
