The following Letter from Mr. STREET, late
Editor of The Couriers which appeared in that
Paper last night, justifies our contradiction of
Mr. C. PEARSON'S alleged assertion at the Crown
and Anchor Meeting :

TO-THE EDITOR OF THE COURIER.
September 8.
My DEAR Sict,.—ln an account published in The Times
this moruire4:Clif a publie meeting held at the Crown and
Anchor yesterday, for the purpose of receiving the Report of
the Committee appointed to regulate the subscription fur pre-
senting to- hei Majesty a service of plate, Mr. Pearson, the
Secretary, iv-represented to have stated, " that part of the
Queen's plate had been teat to Mr. Street, the Editor of Me
Courier, and that from the time when it had hciii so lent, up
to the present moment, constant attacks had been made in
that Paper upon her Majesty's conduct."
You know very well, my dear Sir, that this accusation is as
ludicrously absurd as it is false. It was clearly proved iu the
debate in- the House of Commons on the I7th July, Ist,—
that the Queen had no plate, and that therefore tt could.
neither be lent nor given to me or to any one else—and,
2dly, that the plate is now in the Royal Jewel Office.
Some persons may be surprised (von and I are not), that
Mr. Pearson, before he hazarded the assertion, did not make
some inquiry of Lady A. armilton or Dr. Lushington—for
the former could have shewn him the Lord Chamberlain's
answer to her note, stating " that the plate is Crown
property, and was, and is now in the Jewel OlEce"—and
Dr. Lushington * could have reminded him of the un-
fortunate motion which he had been tempted to make upon
the subject.
Mr. Pearson, however, bat conferred upon me an honour
which Ido not deserve. He styles me the Editor of the
Courier, a situation which, you know, I relinquished alto-
gether three years ago.
I am, my dear Sir, your's most faithfully,
T. G. STEEET.

a The Doctor may justly exclaim, in the words of Pius
&nem, should Ler Majesty ever remind him of his unlucky
motion.

the owner was deprived, in consequence, of the
use .of her hands and feet."
