Q IN A CORNER.

Fit?,— l know thai I shall be considered ■very foolish in thus condescending to answer the last letter signed Q, which appealed in )our issun of yesierdny. 1 < ! o go only because my silence might bo mis-undeis-tood and misconstrued, yet I will Buy as little «t« po&uble on a subject that ]iii 8 ahrady token up too much of your f pj-ce. I will \),\sf> over the ghastly attempt :it ;i joke in his reference to the weather, the small beer punsters have worn that ilncadbare long ago. Let me tell Mv Q that I did not "dub myself champion of the A C," nor have I any desire to be their " champion." The only service I rendered them being one I would willingly render anybody, when a dirty boy throws mud at them from behind their backs. Nor would it be neceseary in so doin^f to proclaim to the people on the street "my name is so and so." Did they wish it, they could procure my name with less trouble than I could that of the offending ragamuffin. Though lam suro that neither the public or myself have any inclination that way. I believe I did say that his conduct was unmanly, and if it can be of any service to him, I will repeat it, though it is far too mild a term. There is much of his letter lam utterly unable to comprehend. Such, for instance, as the part in which ho calls "boriowed money," n "scheme," and talks about the "study of gieat minds" and " perfect organisation " wanting a "master mind." But enough ; if ever I desire to take part in a discussion on the utility of the A C force, it will certainly be with come more cultured person than Q. And let mo add in conclusion, that although necessarily writing under the designation of "Own Correspondent," I will not •scruple to act in the way T have acted, even though opposed by all the Qs in (,hristendoro, aye, and even if they brought Lyndley Murray vith them, far away as he is at present. — I am, &c, Your Cambridge Correspondent.
