CAPTURE OF QUEBEC.
Sir,-I listened recently to an interesting dramatisation of Wolfe’s capture of Quebec. It is a pity that the producers of such pieces would not make quite sure of the historical details. To finish by saying that the "Union Jack has been run up in place of the Tricolour" (or words to that effect) is to antedate both flags. The French at that time probably fought under the white banner of the Bourbons, as the Tricolour was a product of the Revolution; and the Union Jack (which I believe was also mentioned) dates from the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, and so could scarcely be used in the
Eighteenth.
