Since our last report somewhat larger supplies of PO,
have been received from the country; but those of Del
Mutton, and Veal, have been small. Prime Beef
Mutton are in fair request, at full prices; otherwise UP
demand is heavy.

Since Monday last nearly 5,000 tons of Potatoes ha
come to hand coastwise and by land carriage, in excel
lent condition. The continued low prices of bread, ttr
gather with the prevailing mild weather, keep our ILO
kets in a very inactive state. The demand is deeidel
heavy, at our quotations. Last week's imports were 62
tons from Rouen, and 63 tons from Dunkirk.

WOOL.
The imports of Wool into London last week were 01;
fined to 48 bales from Smyrna, 22 from 'timbre', 680
from Taganrog,and 22 from Buenos Ayres. By prilit
contract, we have to notice a steady demand at O
prices; but the small sorts of Colonial Wools, togetbef
with the uncertain prospect of arrivals, render it 5010,4
what doubtful whether the next public sales will be 11e,'
till March next. Several parcels have changed hands ~
shipment to the continent.

TALLOW.
Although only a limited business has been transacts
in Tallow since Monday last, prices to-day have 8u;
vanced 3d to 6d per cwt, P.Y.C. on the spot being
quoted at 37s 3d to 37s 6d per cwt. For forward deibi
very there is more doing. Town Tallow is 37s par cl/t,
net cash; rough fat 2s ld per Blbs. Our St. Petersburgm
letter states that prices were well supported there; 2,°,7/
casks had changed hands for August, at 1061 to 1

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,— Your paper of December 31st has bees
placed in my hands, containing two articles relatill
to the Rector of Morpeth, in one of which an errovee
ous statement occurs, which I beg you will allow 19
to correct.

It is said—" Towards the Dissenters in the tool
• • . . the Rector and some of his curates bald
always deported themselves in a way greatly to offen.
their feelings, treating them as schismatics without thy
slightest chance of salvation, and regarding the bar
tism of their children by dissenting ministers as abed'
lutely invalid and inefficacious."
Ido not believe that Mr. Grey or any of -111°'
curates ever wilfully offended the feelings of Diesel?
ters. lam quite sure that none of them ever es:.
pressed or entertained the opinion that Dissenters a"
precluded from salvation. The baptism of Dissenter.
has always been considered as valid and efficaciou!'
The subject of dissent is scarcely ever alluded to
the pulpit at Morpeth • many Dissenters are in the
habit of frequent attendance at church ; and charitir
ble distributions are made without reference to Oh'
gious opinions.

I have asked several Dissenters whether the state'
ment I have here made is true, and have been. any
swered in the affirmative, with strong expression, °
respect for Mr. Grey's character.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
ONE OF THE CURATES OF MORP.Eirti'
January 4th, 1851.
P.S. It is not true (as stated) that Mr. Grey lires
educated at Oxford, Cambridge is his university.
(It must be a matter of inexpressible relief to tibe
numerous body of Dissenters in Morpeth to have it
from so authoritative and infallible a quarter as
of the Curates of Morpeth," that Mr. Grey or any°
his curates never expressed or entertained the opiatoll
that Dissenters are precluded from salvation, and that
the baptism of Dissenters had always been coo 0'
dered as valid and efficacious. The current opinion
of the town among many, Churchmen as welt 6,6.
Dissenters, collected from expressions which
have fallen from time to time from 039
rector and some of his curates in the pia'
pit, has certainly been the reverse of 0216'
They will also be glad to learn that "the subject 0
dissent is scarcely ever alluded to in the pulpit at
Morpeth." It certainly used to be far otherwise;
and we hope that this is an indication of a mare
friendly feeling on the part of the clergy towards twee
many really exemplary and estimable persons vil3°
have the misfortune to differ from them—persona
who have been bred in the principles of noncoufor
may, and who could not reasonably be expected to
abandon those principles on the inauguration of a per°
and still more offensive mode of worship in ale
Church than that from which their forefathers ha a
separated.—ED. Sun.]

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--Unknown to me a paragraph having Well
appeared in the London and country press, in whicb
it was mentioned that I bad taken Gore house (the
residence of the late Lady Blessington) in anticipation
of making an hotel of the house and opening the
grounds in the style of Cremorne, I beg to state, Mr•
Editor, that such never was my intention, the an"
nouncement being altogether premature, having onlY
taken possession of that property on Wednesday last,
Jan. 1, 1851. It will be my study to devote this
establishment entirely for the display of the gastro'
nomic art, where lam now making preparations to
accommodate thousands daily at my Symponium of all
Nations. With the highest consideration, I have the
honour to remain your most obedient servant,
A. SOYEB.
Gore house, Kensington road, Jan. 4, 1851.

CHAPEL, PRINTING..OFFICE.—" IS there any other
authority than Creery's Press for the statement that printing-
offices are called chapels? Whatever may have been the
case, at present the word 'chapel' is applied to the persons
or companionship employed in the office, not to the office
itself. Moxon, in his 21fechanick Erercises, vol. ii., p. 356,
4to, 1663, says Every printing-house is by the custom of
time out of mind called a chappel ;
and all the workmen
that belong to it are members of the chappel ; and the oldest
freeman is father of the chappel. I suppose the style was
originally conferred upon it by the courtesie of some great
churchman or men (doubtless when chappels were in more
veneration than of late years they have been here in Eng-
land), who, for the books of divinity that preitcseded from
printing-house, gave it the reverend title of chappel.'
Notes and Queries.

SOIREE OF THE PRINTERS' DRAMATIC SOCIETY.
—The first soirie of this society was held on Saturday even-
ing last at Anderton's Hotel, and was attended by about
70 persons (including a fair proportion of ladies), chiefly in
connexion with the printing profession. Mr. W. H. Wills
presided on the occasion, and after the company had partaken
of tea, and a desert had been placed on the table, that gentle-
man rose and described the origin and rise of the society, and
explained its object to be to assist the funds of the charitable
institutions of the printing trade from the proceeds of ama-
teur dramatic performances. To commemorate the success
of the society, it had been determined to held this social
meeting. The party were entertained throughout the even-
ing by the vocal and dramatic efforts of a number of ama-
teurs, male and female, in a style which, in many instance*
would have done no discredit to regular professionals. Some
madrigals and glees were well sung, and altogether the vocal
department was very creditably sustained. Several appro-
priate sentiments were given during the proceedings, and a
vote of thanks to the chairman for his kindness in presiding
brought to a close a pleasant evening's entertainment.
THE EXPENSES OF THE BIRKENHEAD BIOT.--At
the Knutsford Quarter Sessions an application was made by
Mr. Case for 3001., the amount for incidental expenses iL"
curred in sustaining an extra force of military and police,
while executing certain warrants at Birkenhead arising out
of the late disturbances.—Local Paper.

The Spectator suggests that the foreign visitors in
England may consider themselves fbrtunate that the May
meetings of -Exeter-hall will take place very opportunely
for their anuL.ement during their stay in London.
