[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR, — If you can

spare apace for a warning note from a veteran I beg to appeal to all my countrymen to strive their utmost to support Lord R. Cecil and Mr. Cave in their absolutely necessary work for the restoration of the honour of the public service in this country. The House of Commons having painfully and signally failed in its duty, let the nation speak in tones which cannot be mistaken.—I am, Sir, &c., R. G. CAVENDISH BENTINCK. Wormilow Manor, Surrey.
