TENNYSON'S PRONUNCIATION.

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR.")

Sts,—]fay 1 supplement "Septuagenarian's" letter by saying that to " hunderd " and " sperm "—a pronunciation I well remember—may be added "childern" for "children"? As to " Althorp," the family pronunciation goes beyond mere inversion of letters; i.e., " Altrup."—I am, Sir, &c., ANOTHER SEPTUAGENARIAN.
