LIEUTENANT PERRY'S CASE.

TO THE EDITR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Having received several letters with suggestions
as to limiting the individual subscriptions to a small
amount, and the opening accounts with the 'banking
houses in various localities, in behalf of Li eutenant
Perry, which it will be inconvenient individually to reply
to, I shall feel obliged by your allowing me to refer to
the accompanying list of subscriptions which I have re-
ceived by post from distant localitife, in cheques on Lon-
don bankers, bank-notes, Post-office orders, and postage
stamps, from which it will be seen that it would be inju-
dicious to restrict the subscriptions to any uniform small
amount, and that there is no difficulty in remitting indi-
vidual subscriptions or consolidating small ones into a
larger sum. At the same time the co-operation of those
who are desirous of assisting in the collection of sub-
scriptions will be thankfully acknowledged.—l am,
sir,
your obedient servant,

Windsor, Aug. 23.

inhabitants of Stony Stratford, in consequence of the
combination of the bakers to keep up the price of bread.
The crier was sent round the town to call upon the in-
habitants,
now that potatoes were so plentiful and cheap,
to abandon, as much as possible, the use of bread, and
