LINKS WITH THE PAST—THE '45.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.].

SIR,—It may interest your readers to know that there is yet alive one who had the story of the '45 from an eye-witness. My aunt, aged ninety-six, living in Hastings, stayed as-a child in Scotland- with her two great-aunts, both then well over ninety. These ladies amused the child with the account of how they as- children saw the Highland: Army,, with Prince Charles Edward, come past their gates on the way south, and again on the return north in the years 1745 and 1746. I think this must be almost unique.—I am, Sir, &c.,
