MR. MACKARNESS AND SIR A. MILNER.

[We have received from two Members of the Cape Parliament letters very properly protesting against the tone adopted by Mr. Mackarness in his letter to our columns in regard to Sir Alfred Milner. As, however, these letters are very long, our space limited, and the controversy now old, we do not publish them, but assure our correspondents, which we should have thought was sufficiently obvious from our editorial comments, that we are in anything but sympathy with Mr. Mackarness's views.—En. Spectator.]
