There was an error in the stamped Supplement of Practical

Measures, which stands corrected in the whole of the unstanmed impression. The Countess of Strathmore, who has two pensions, is not the wile of Mr. Hutt, but of the present Earl of Strathmore. The mistake may have ori- ginated in similarity of name ; the one Lady Strathmore being Marianne, the other Mary. From the spirit displayed by some of the Tory papers in the North of England, who have attempted to use this pen- sion as an opprobrium against a most worthy and truly independent tesn in nowise connected with it, we have no reason to suppose that their error has been unwitting, as ours was.
