MR. ALEXANDER LEE.
THE Globe, after quoting our last week's article entitled " Regent Street Songs," says—" We regret that a paper of the acknowledged power and respectability of the Spectator should be so severe upon a really clever and deserving person. If Mr. LEE has written music for money, he can also write music for fame. He has talents of no mean order, and needs only encouragement, to produce something which even the Spectator would approve." The Globe must pardon us if we estimate a man's talents more by what he has done, than by what he may do. We are not to blame if Mr. LEE makes the Editor of the Globe an exclusive present of what he writes for fame ; and we assure our contemporary, in perfect good humour, that if he will let us see some of these good things of Mr. A. LEE'S, our harsh judgment upon his 'musical taste shall be revoked forthwith.
