The supply of Wheat of home produce was very limited :
however, we have to report a steady demand for that article,
at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. Foreign
Wheat was in fair request; but no advance was noticed in
the quotations. Barley, Malt, and Oats met a slow inquiry ;
but Beans and Peas were quite as dear.

English sculptor, Mr. Gypson, now at Rome.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
7 U TILE ED1T01? OF THE SUN.
sia,—lt must be gratifying to all true lovers of reform to watch
the growing determination in the public to discountenance the prac'
tice of offices of trust and confidence being performed by deru*
I regret, however, to perceive that in the law the same ie34/1
watchfulness does not prevail. In the office of the Masters in Chan-
cery there is at this present time an officer in the receipt of a salary of
1,0001. a-year, who has never attempted to perform the import4P/
duties attached to the office, to which the Lord Chancellor £l,'
pointed him two years ago. As this person has neither the plea Of
ill heath nor old age to urge for this default, I should like to be
informed what pretext can be alleged in justification of a practh*

CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN
RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV.

SIR,--I beg respectfully to call your attention to the very ill'
accurate report in this evening's Sun of the Cambridge and
Lincoln Railway proceedings before the Committee in the Houle
of Commons. Your reporter represents Mr. Hildyard, the counsel,
as saying, that trains by the Cambridge and Lincoln line would
perform the distance between London and York not:as (in one
place it is many hours, and in another some hours) quicker thal)
trains by the London and York line could perform it. Now, you
are hereby informed that Mr. Hildyard, whose speech I heard (rolls
beginning to end, never said anything of the kind, nor could a°
attentive reporter suppose him to have said so. The statement 10
totally unfounded, and I am sure your interest in the character a
The Sun, as a faithful and impartial reporter of railway proceedings.
will inuuce you to make some inquiry as to the cause of so extra-
ordinary and mischievous a mis-statement. Allow me, most
strongly to urge that no speculator in shares should be intrusted
with the duty of reporting railway proceedings—a duty pereMP'
torily requiring faithfulness and impartiality in him who did.
chat ges it.—Your obedient servant, J. L.
3, Walbrook, July 1, 1845.

[lt is our desire and our endeavour to give not only the reforti
of the proceedings before Railway Committees, but all report,
which appear in The Sun, with the greatest possible accuracf•
We readily insert this letter. The gentleman who furnished 0
the report is not a speculator in shares, nor is he interested
directly or indirectly, to our knowledge, in the success of 001
railway project.— ED. Sun.]

THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAMER•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:

SlR,—Your article upon the Great Britain and steam has had ral
attention, and I hasten to inform you that you werequite correct in
your opinion that the figures setting forth her tonnage are reversed•
I gave the Custom.house officer, who called at the office In ac•
cordance with his instruction from the higher powers, 3,481 tong
as her displacement when loaded. A large allowance is stia/31l
made for the space occupied by the motive power of steamera,
which really ought to include the coal stowage also, although it does
not, when they are registered, further than that which is stowed
on each side of the engine.room, known by the name of the
bunkers. I send you some rough extracts of the Chip's passage
to Dublin, seeing that you appreciate in a national point of vie'
the vast strides made by ourselves and others in steam navigatioa.
—Your obedient servant, C. C.

N.B. The small amount of tonnage which appears in the return
when compared with the power of steamers, is to be accounted Or,
by the omission of the whole space in the body of the ship occuplo
by the machinery. Thus the Star, for instance, is nearer three
than one hundred tons. In some cases the engine-room occupiei
half the ship ; in none, I should think, less than one-third. BYO
with this allowance, the Bristol steamers, generally speaking, are
nearer two tons to one horse power than those of many 001
places. Our Irish steamers, for instance, are from 180 to 19v
horse-power to a tonnage averaging 400 or thereabouts. Tbe
smaller the vessel, the less should be the proportions of tonnage t 0
power, and vice versa.
Bristol, July 1, 1845.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Ste,—l find in yesterday evening's Sun, "In answer to S:r
Hayes, Sir J. Graham said the Government did not require ant
additional powers to put down the disturbances in Wick
Cavan, and Fermanagh." As in neither the question or reply WO
Wicklow mentioned, I request you will relieveit from the charge
which appears in your payer to apply to that county, which afford,,
at all times a perfect example of tranquillity and obedience to 10
law.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM ACTON, M.P., Wicklow county.
