THE NEW RICH.

[To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOR."] Saa,—On reading "H. C.'s " very appropriate quotation from Pliny I am tempted to send another. from Horace, which seems equally applicable to our times when the decay of St. Paul's and many others of our templa Del is crying out for help :—

"Cur eget indignus quisquam, te divite? Quare Temple ruunt antiqua Deum? Cur improbe came Non aliquid patriae tanto emetiris acervo? "

—Sat. ii., 2, 103.

—I am, Sir, &c., JOHN MURRAY. 50a Albemarle Street, London, W.1.
