LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
MR. GLADSTONE AND IRISH CABINET MINISTERS.
[TO THIO EDITOR OP THE SPECTATOR."] [TO THIO EDITOR OP THE SPECTATOR."]
SIR,--I have to request you to amend my letter of the 27th ult. I find that Lord Dufferin never was in the Cabinet, although he was Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. I find also that M. Henry Cony was First Lord of the Admiralty in Lord Derby's third Administration in 1866. To this latter list must be added the name of Major W. Beresford, who was Secretary for War in Lord Derby's first Administration in 1852. I am afraid it was owing to my handwriting that you in- serted among those outside the Cabinet the names of "Mr. M. IL Parnell" and "the Honourable — Somerville," in-
stead of Sir Henry Parnell and Sir William Somerville.—I am, Sir, &c.,
15 St. James's Place, March Sth. H. R. GRENFELL.
