TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.

Sin,—Ref erring to your paper of last night, you state,
under head of Antsverp,•.lsn. 27, that the Ocean, steamer,
bound from London to Rotterdam, was aground at Gce-
dereede, and that it was impossible to get her afloat.
May I beg of you to contradict such a report, and at the
same time tis state that the Ocean, steamer, Capt. Lines
Fife, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany, left Rotterdam on that day with the Dutch and
liamburgh fails on board, and arrived off the Custom-
house the twt.

The Sir nclararci Banks, Capt. R. Stranack, belonging
to the same Company, got ashore at Gorce, but will get
off at the next spring-tid, and may be expected here at
tic latter end of this weck.

Sir, yvur most obedient Serrtnt,
THOMAS BISHOP.
