THE QUEEN AND THE DUKE.

London, 17th November. Sim-Your version of Lord Derby's speech on the Address makes him say, after enumerating the Duke's great qualities-" All these have been hon- oured by his Sovereign." The eulogiet's words were-" All these have been honoured by the teara of his Sovereign." In the one form you have a commonplace ; in the other the announcement of a personal and touching fact. And for the correction, Sir, you have the authority of

AN EAR-WITNESS.

.[The error is obvious : the omission of the words "the tears of" probably originated in a misprint. Our version of the passage was taken from the Times report, verbatim.]
