A COLONIAL MEMORIAL

[T., THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.") Sie,—Your correspondent Mr. Assheten (Spectator, Aeg. 17th) is . in error if . he thinks that anything. in any letter implied either that any idea had been entertained of asking State aid towards building a church at Cape Town, or that this or any other memorial in Cape Colony is not to be regarded with approval and sympathy. I wrote to remind those who welcomed your original suggestion that no memorial .there can be a substitute for a monument at home.—I am, Sir, &c.,
