LIRE DERBY AND TEE "PRESS."

TUE MEETING OF WED DERBY'S SUPPORTERS
(From the l'ress.)
The notice we printed Inot week of the meeting of
opposition members of the Cosinutui, at the invitation of
Lord Derby, was, it seems, "grossly Inaccurate We are
bound to accept the contradiction from such high authority.
At the mine time we owe some explanation to our readers.
Lied Derby has admitted that " the statement of the pro-
ceedings undoubtedly lean on the face of it evidence Of DOOM
person who wes either premed, or had head what prod."
We do out feed called upon to explain the sources from
which wo derived our knowledge. Lit say
listen to the promedings of an hour's dimension lon
any assembly, and let hint 'Renter& endeavour
to note down what was said, and be will be easily
attisfied of the difficulty of giving an curt transcript d ord
communksa ions. Even with demographic aid, the moat
upset of the accomplished parliamentary reporters ores-
'tonally record sentitnents the reverse of what fell front a
debater'. lip. As Lord Derby may know, orators in par-
liament have sometimes mieunderstood each other, or mis-
interpreted the words delivered vehemently in their own pre.
senor. Explanations" are surely not Infrequent even
amongst orators of the mod finished education.
Our artick, as every ruder of it in the Prat must know,
was out intended to be an aecurate report of what took place.
It was rather a co:anoint upon the leading points of the
proceedings. That It was nut written by a person present at
the meeting is evident from one slight error. The meeting
was stated to tune takes place at Lard Derby's house in St.
Jassees-squarc, when It we really held, ma such ,meetings
Sate frequently keen held before, at the boom of Lord
Eglinton, in St. Isinses-square.
We OM inclined to believe that the " gum inaccuracy" of
which Lord Derby complained was to a great extent rectified
elm a second edition of the ATM In our first intrusion the
noble earl, in denying the regrts of a coalition with Mr.
Gladstone, was represented a saying that be had had no
o "communication with Mr. Gladstone on the eubiect." When

we—
were informed, on good authority that the len-
tence did not express whet Lied Derby really said, we al-
tered it in conformity with whet on believed, end still be-
Wye, to be a tolerably aseines inks of that particular port
