THE BOROUGH OF CALNE.

The following address has been forwarded to us
(the OW) for publication. We have not as yet received
Mr. Lowe's answer :
" Sir,—We, the other upper servants in the Marquis of
Lansdowne's household, feel it to be hincumlbent on their
positions to notice &matter which has • great deal todowith
the prhiledges of their order. Some low fellow as calls
himself Bishop, with other ekally dirty radicals, has had
the imperenoe to haull you over the coals, and we regrets
to see that you hare demeaned yourself by a
hargument with them. They seems to be • hunedi-
eated lot, as do not take in what's your place as a servant
out of lively, and what isn't. It ain't for you to answer
the door bell as 'as got ' servants' plainly engraved on the
outside ; that ain't your place, and you bought to know it.
Though a servant, you're not • footman. When his lord-
ship rings, then you had best see what he wants and do
it. But never you go and take orders from tradesmen,
and such like, as knows nothing about the best families.
We, the undersigned, has always had the best places,
and have never allowed any interference in the house, and
we ain't going to begin now. We will stick to
you, and as long as his lordship is satisfied, you will
always find all the other gentlemen and ladies in the
steward's room quite affable-like. But we has our rights
and our rules, and if you his agoing to have dealings with
a low feller like Bishop, and them others as keeps little
shops at Caine, and argefy with them as if they was your
masters and not his lordship, the sooner you gets into a
livery coat and plashes agin, and goes back to that last
place where you had a good character, the better.

" (Signed by the House Steward, Butler, Groom of
the Chambers, and other servants out of livery
in the Marquis of Iwnwlovrne's household.)"
