THE ALEXANDRA CONCERT.

Sir,- My Thursday's copy of t'rt paper did not come to hand, aud I have not on» here to refer to i but some one has taken excojrtton to m\ report of tiio aoiree and concert hore na himntj caused aoiuo unpleasantness aud ill feeling, if so, Which I vary much doubt oicept in the very small mind of the writer of the letter, my great offence appea"irto be hating given tbe name* of two ladies as having supplied trays who did not do so. I can only say that I obtained the names given horn One ot the committee, but I believe that ittadvertently one lady's name was incorrectly inserted on ray list. VVith regard to his miuer&bto statement that two other ladies gave trays and did not condescend -to attend them, — the reason of those ladies absenca wns well known to be Unavoidable. The young lady who kindly officiated as tubstitute, *, daughter of one of our mo»t rttpeoted settle™, Vf ill no doubt feel highly flattered at being called a servant for her pain». Mr Ghibbins, whose -name I am accused of omitting in my report for hit " humorous reading," would fcave had 'full justice dbne to him had I not been particularly requested' not to do io.— 'l am, &c , Your Own Cobsuupowdint.
