NOTE ON TUE Raman anronat PAPERS.

We have received a communication from a gentleman connected with RecortH, impugning the new system, and praising the old. As his letter, however, merely expresses tilt °pinion, unsupported either by linos or arguments, no use could attend its publication : in fact, while it could not be of cnay service to the writer's views, it possibly might be injurious to himself.
