The conclusion of "The Unrevealed" in our next.

We anticipated the wish of our Windsor Correspondent, by putting in hand a Portrait of her Majesty, which is likely to do credit to our work, although the gentleman who engraved the first insists that it was all it ought to have been, and proposes to prove this to the satisfaction of twelve honest men. We intend putting him to this proof.

Among the papers actually in type, and omitted in consequence of the extreme length of our review of Oxford, are, Returned Valentines, by Incognita; The Seventh Busy-body; The Fag Family, &c.

We have already apprized our friends, that we are not ambitious of literary intelligence which has appeared in the advertising columns of all the newspapers, except on the same terms as our advertising sheet.

A prating fool, who seems to be the trumpeter of a scribbling family, whom we shall take leave to show up if they be not a little circumspect, has accused us of using the signature S. S. to make the world believe we were indebted to one of his coterie for the articles to which it was prefixed. We should as soon think of Waterloo Bridge being mistaken for a deal plank, or the Monument for a lamppost, as any of our papers being mistaken for the very best thing the poor girl ever wrote. We should be mightily vexed if the reading world thought we would admit the best thing the scribbling coterie could produce.

"Ernestina" has our best thanks, and deserves them. We think, with her, upon the chief subject of her letters; but, alas! all females are not "Ernestinas." The Museum accuses the Old Woman's Refuge for gratuitous Scribblers, of defrauding the public, by announcing that it had the patronage of the Queen, when it had no authority for so doing, and by claiming to have been established in 1760, when such assertion was false. It moreover is merry at the expense of its imbecile rival, because it is fast falling to decay. It is cruel enough to give a better Number at a shilling less, without abusing the poor old lady into the bargain.

,

In answer to the Hon. Miss ***** we can assure her, that we never omit a name but from pure accident; and if those who have experienced this error of omission will forward their cards, it will prevent a recurrence.

It gives us great pleasure to find that since the oldest of the female periodicals was placed under the management of an elegant young person, the articles have exhibited quite an improved appearance. We quote the following stanzas from the first paper in the number for March; and although, strictly speaking, it is the most lady-like article in the book, the other subjects are almost as elegantly feminine. It is entitled England's Glory, and has an illustration to it.

I sing the tree of liberty,

Indeed it is no joke, Sir,

The best ere found on British ground;
I mean our native oak, Sir.

Your glasses fill, and with goodwill,
All drink this noble toast, Sir,

May this oak tree for ever be
Each loyal Briton's boast, Sir."

We cannot give the whole; but we trust we have given enough to show the qualifications of the amiable lady who has thus stepped forward in behalf of the female literature of the country.

We are so pressed for space as to be unable to give our promised notice of the British Gallery, which was by no means flattering, or our half-written criticism on the Gallery of British Artists in Suffolk-street. The latter is a very creditable collection, in which Linton, Wilson, S. A. Hart, Simpson, D. Roberts, P. Phillips, Lonsdale, &c., shine in full splendour, with, as usual, enough to censure. water-colour room, there are some brilliant pieces by Roberts, Rechard, Miss F. Corbeaux, &c.; and the exhibition is by far the best that has been seen on the walls of this gallery.
