A CORRECTION.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—In the Spectator of October 10th Dr. Beet (p. 465) is so styled in a review, and also Dr. William Wright (p. 464), but in the far more important article reviewing Dr. Brown's "Pilgrim Fathers" (488) the writer conspicuously styles him only "Mr." Brown. Surely also its tone is specially and almost pointedly unsympathetic. The Spectator is the one news- paper which Nonconformists cherish, and it never was more admirable than these last few weeks,, but it is somewhat trying when they find their ministers denied the usual courtesies of their position.—I am, Sir, &c.,
