Mr. Macvey Napier, the editor of the Edinburgh Review, has
addressed a letter to the Morning Chronicle, in reference to something in the John Bull of last Saturday, about an article on New Zealand, written by Mr. Stephen, Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, to appear in the forthcoming number of the Edinburgh. No such paper will be found in the forthcoming number ; and as to Mr. Stephen, Mr. Napier says — " With that gentleman, it is true, I have the honour to be well acquainted, and to be sometimes favoured with his distinguished assistance ; but I beg to say, that 1 never have exchanged a single word, verbal or written, with him, upon the subject of an article en the affairs of New Zealand."
Doubtless, it is all the better that the public should not suppose Mr. Stephen to be dabbling in the Review on that topic.
