augmentation, while the private deposits have been

flatter, and as the transfer books are closed, it pre-
sents a very inactive appearance ; Consols are 93:
ex dividend for the account. Their heaviness is

the Reduced are steady at 934 1 ; India 5 per Cent.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Observing that it was stated at the Meeting held
last evening at the London Tavern that a communication
was read from mo expressing regret at not being able to at-
tend, but, concurring in the objects of the meeting, I beg to
•bserve there must be some mistake in making that state-
merit. I never wrote any letter, but called at the office,
and mentioned that, having been nearly a quarter of a
century in Parliament, I had made a rule to decline attend-
ing public meetings, and certainly expressed no approba-
tion of the object of the meeting at the London Tavern.—l
remain your faithful servant, J. DUKE.'
