TO CORRESPONDENTS.

To " Amicus, Bridpwt."—We do not answer questions
of that nature publicly, because it is not quite correct
either in " Amicus" to put such, or to expect
an answer, without honouring us with his name
confidentially. The Noble Lord alluded to is a first-
rate spealier, but is not now in the House of Com-
mons. If " Amicus" will refer to Sir E. B. Lytton's
New Timon, he will there see who i 3 styled " the
Rupert of Debate." " The best" has, unfortunately,
of Mt., left but his shadow behind him.
