THE " BRITISH ARTISTS OF SUFFOLK STREET.

A late letter from Hendon has received attention. Our correspondent niay bs assured that no change has taken place in the hand that wrote or the spirit that prompted the criticisms in question. To form an impartial judgment, and ex- press honestly opinions deliberately formed, is the aim of the writer in that depart- ment of the Spectator, as in every other. In the case particularly alluded to, there were proved abuses that called for very severe reprobation and pointed attack : they were of old standing, and required unmeasured censure ant strenuous opposition; former remarks, of mitigated severity, having been in effectual. We have reason to believe that the last has had the desired effect; and we shall be more ready to praise than to condemn, should our exposure of unfair practices result in their discontinuance.
