To the Editor of the Sun,

Stu,—The letter in your impression of Monday, cow'
paring the expense of the Customs Establishment with that
of the Inland Revenue, contains an error which destroys
the argument.
The paragraph commencing "This difference in the
pense of the two establishments arises from the supertor
scale of payment awarded to the clerks in the Custoul-
house," &c., should read inferior scale.
Dusting you will insert this in your next, I remain yours

THE SCOTCH MOORS.—The keepers through'
out the whole of Selkirkshire consider the preBt'llS
to be the most successful hatching season they have had
for many years, and report most favourably for the proP
peas of sportsmen. On the exsensive mo orlands
Ettrick and Yarrow scarcely a shot has beeel fired Nt
the last two seasons, and except on the v, ry big h range:
the show of grouse and black game is this year eirpea!e'
to be little short of what it was previous to the great
mortality among the birds in the spring of 1862.
young grouse are now running in broods of from seven to
ten birds, and black game are sitting plentifully on nesL
containing from eight to ten eggs. On the low geounu'
pheasants have been hatched successfully ; and, judgi4
from the stock of old birds, partridges, which are new 41:
ing their eggs, are expected to be numerous. Levere:
are even now very abundant. An experienced °,l
intelligent keeper, however, says that he has suffa'e"
to an :unusual extent forom the robberies of the 6°,133;
