THE JI'NIUS CONTROVERSY.
To rim rerroa ote "TILE PRESS."
Sir,—Your correspondent " Vivaldi " (whose signa-
ture I think I have previously seen affixed to some
instructive disquisition on the authorship of Junius)
states in your last number that he has some "flimsily
reasinut" for thinking many of the arguments urged
in the Quarterly Review (Dee., Is:11) to connect
Thomas Lord Lyttelton—" bad Tout " as he is called
by the family—with Junius to lee well founded.
1 ant sure he would receive the thanks of many of
your readers (myself among the nuialter) if he would
state what those reasons are, as probably they might
throw new light on this much-discussed, yet still un-
settled, question.
There is a passage in the letters which, though
never that I recollect noticed in the inquiry, would
seem to show that Junius was well aequainted witl►
the local gossip of Warwickshire. In a letter signed
Domitian, March 5, 11;0, ho writes with characteristic
causticity :--
" The indigent circmustanees of tont Hereford's f 'ly
sceonot tie• and justify their is smlnet. The some spirit of
ce y which animated the father to the wile of public
etnplisymelits in Ireland revives in the son, and finds the
t"•st market for the siumunition of the Warwickshire
militia."
In a note to this passage it is stated:—
" This youth goes by the !Mlle of Gunpowder
OMNI thrtaigh the Oink ementy."
In this allusion we have, it strikes me, one of these
few 14 dprints which Junius suffered to remain
him. Such a remark would not seem natural to
beret t ;verge Sackville, who resided at his paternal
seat, Knowle, lent; nor to the Shelburne coterie
which assembled at Bowood, Wilts; nor even to Mr.
Francis, who must have resided constantly in Lon-
don ; but it might fall appropriately enough front a
member of the Lyttelton family, whose estate of
llagley is in the adjoining county, and only about, a
dozen miles from Birmingham. The present Lord
Lyttelton commonly presides at the Warwick county
meetings and festivals held in that town, and we
may reasonably conceive that the Lytteltens would
be keenly alive to what passed in seemly with which
they were nearly connected.
Sir, most obediently yours,
It.,OATon.

P.S.—Bas not " in his letter, confounded
Lord George Carendish with Lord George Saekville
I cannot call to mind the reference he makes to the
former in Woodfall's Junius, though probably it
may occur. But 1 tstrongly suspect, that what is said
on the court martial, and on " the writer of the rim
tinuation of Iltnne's History Smollett 1 inclining to
acquit. Lord George Cavendish of the charge which
the court-martial established," can only apply to
Lord George Sackville.

AMONGST the natives of foreign countries arrested
for crime in Paris during last year there were only
thirty three natives of Great Britain—a very small
proportion when the large number of English who
visited and resided in that capital i 4 Wien into Re-
count ; Awl which, as compared with the proportion
of natives of other countries arrested for crime, gives
us no cause to be ashamed of our national eharaeter.
Of other foreigners arrested,. the following numbers
are given :—Belgians, 441 ; Caton Germans, 311;
Hollanders, 139; Prussians, list ; Seise, 101; Ita•
liana, ; Bavarians, 1111; Austrians, 39; Poles, 341;
Spaniarls. 19 ; Hessians, Hungarians, Danes, of
each, 16; Swedes, 14; Persians, 5; Egyptians and
tireeks, of each, g ; and one Turk.
A tineAT CONFLAGRATION occurred on the bank of
the Thames, near Dockhead, on Thursday evening.
The premises burnt consist of a large and lofty series
of warehouses, occupied as a granary by a Mr. 'Main.
They were almost totally consumed with their con
tents before the fire eould be mastered. Being
situated in a narrow thoroughfare, the opposite houses
were threatened with destruction if the high walls of
the warehouse fell down, and all the inhabitants ree
niove.l themselves and property out of harm's way in
affright. The damage done is estimated at many
thousand pounds.
