TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.

Burton Crescent, Oct. 28, 1830.

Sta—In looking over your admirable Anatomy of the House of Com- mons, I perceived a slight mistake. You mention Mr. Manning as mean. her for Penrhyn ; but he is not in the present Parliament. Being Director of the Bank of England, he was generally deemed one of their representatives, and probably the supposition was correct ; for his substi. tute is Freshfield—who (or his son) is the solicitor to the Bank. Per. haps this may suggest to you another source of influence, in addition to that of the East India Company and others.
