The Globe, in an abusive leading article upon a paragraph
in our news compilation last week, charges this journal with having purposely omitted a date in the resolution of the Committee of Protestant De- legates, approving of the Government Education scheme, in order to found thereon an attack on Ministers and the Delegates. This will not be believed of the Spectator on much better authority than the Globe's. The resolution was copied ve2batim from one of' the daily papers—the Morning Chronicle, as we recollect ; and when eve saw the terms "liberal and comprehensive," we concluded that they referred to the first scheme; for we could not imagine that any body of men would designate the second—the paltry paring of an originally mean plan—as " liberal and comprehensive." As, however, it appears that the Delegates are delighted with scheme the second, we lose no time in correcting the mistake and giving them all the benefit of the correction.
