less firmness, but generally submitting to prices under those of

by the home trade, but few parcels were to be had ; lumps are very
firm at 67s to 67s 6d for brown, and at 68s per cwt. for Standard.

former rates.

quiet, bat holders show no inclination to take lower rates. Twankay

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
DEAR SIR,—I will feel greatly obliged if you will please
to insert in your valuable paper the following :—I was a pas-
senger in the Boulogne boat to London of last Sunday, and I
am happy to say that when I went on Monday for my lug-
gage I never met with such politeness, nor such gentleman-
like officers as those employed at the Customs' luggage-
room. It would be a great credit to my country if they had
such gentlemen employed, as they boast it is the country of
politeness ; travellers would suppose they arrive dans un
pays de barbare when
.they land at Boulogne. or any French
port.
I hope, Sir, you will find I have not intruded.
