THE DINNER TO MR. CLARKE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I was somewhat surprised by seeing in your columns yesterday, a letter relative to the dinner to be given to-night to Mr Clarke.

He evidently won’t be present to-night, but if his say was worth saying, instead of rushing into print, he might have paid his 12s 6d, and have talked in “ propria persona.” “ Tika,”l am told, means straight, but I don’t think the “Tika” who is writing, is a bit straight.— J am, etc., Tikarer,
