[TO TUE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
SIR,—In like case with " Germanicus " I find "it is too tempting for me not to draw your attention to the latest
ominous occurrence, which will, no doubt, be taken as a shadow of coming events by many in Germany." I refer, of course, to the occurrence in the Mall this afternoon which resulted in the German Ambassador being led captive to the House of Lords by our Metropolitan police. What construc- tion is to be put on this dread portent P I have a theory, but I will not expound it, for by so doing I should surely dispossess the Fat Boy of his eminence, and " Germanicus " would sleep less easily in the knowledge that he had a rival in the business of omm-mongering.—I am, Sir, SW.,
HY. MONTAGU' RYLAND. 'This correspondence on Omens cannot be continued.—ED. Spectator].
