The following letter from Mr.. Shirley Brooks,
the distinguished English author, Is published

dressed:
"REGEsr PARK, LONDON, June 22, 1868.
"SIR A friend In Philadelphia has sent me
n number Of The Dial, IN which find an ex-
tract from a letter wherein Mr.. Conway, ad-
dressing an American newspaper, states that
he saw me at fashionable party in earnest
conversation with lady of color, whose name
have no right to relntroduce TO public attcn-
tion, pleasant as II would be TO me to corrcbo
rate Mr.. Conwny's testimonyto her intellect.
But as Mr.. Conway Is good enough to say
that am detested as the tory writer against
us In Paneh,' and as infer that 'us' means,
pro hac rice, the enemies Of slavery, will ask
you to allow mo to say that any destatiou d.
my friendliness to the domestic institution is
undeserved.

slavery, but have written thousands of limos
against 1t. Ny father was a friend aud fellow.
worker with Wilberforce and Buxton, and have
never swerved from the faith touching the slave
| question. I. - .r'I,I
81 beg to say also, though writing solely on
my own responsibility, that the contributors 10
Punch, who address some half million or more
readers, have never been moved (cven by the
incessant abuse launched at that journal by the
American press) to any partisanship with the
slaveowncr, as such, and Mr.. Conway had bet
ter refer to the files Of Punch for yerlficatIon
Of this statement. Upon the object and con-
duct Of the war claim for myself the same
liberty Of Judgment as my numerous and val
ued American friends would readily concede to
me, were the combatants In any other part OF
