TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—You will much oblige by acquainting me whether
there is any law in existence that persons landing at
Dover from the Continent should pay the sum of five
shillings for a document called a certificate ; because
two gentlemen of my acquaintance were charged that
sum on the 29th of September, and upon their refusing
to pay, were informed that until they paid the amount,
they should not have their luggage.
Oct. 11, 1844. A CONSTANT READER.
[We have never heard before of such a charge being
made at Dover, or any other port in England. The
parties should memorialise the Commissioners of Cus-
toms on the subject, who possibly know as little of this
apparent extortion as they did of the enormous robberies
in their department.—ED. Sun.]

The well-known Dr. Lardner is entertaining the
citizens of New York with his " Personal Recollections
of London and Paris." The New York Herald re-
marks:—" The opportunities which Dr. Lardner enjoyed
for so many years of observing society in these capitals,
and the advantages he derived from his acquaintance
with almost all the characters of our own times, distin-
guished in politics, literature, science, art, and fashion,
will afford rich materials for amusing narrative. Among
those of whom notices and anecdotes will be given, are
Lord Brougham, Bulwer, Sir Walter Scott, Guizot,
Disraeli, Dickens, and other
EXTRAORDINARY QUICK GROWTH OF WHEAT.—
On the Ist instant a field of wheat, which had been
previously pickled with diluted sulphuric acid (contain-
ing 81b. concentrated acid to the acre) was sown at Mr.
Muspratt's ferns in Newton, the land having been pre-
viously manured with soda waste (15 tons to the acre),
In two days the wheat sprang half an inch, and had
since progressed in equal proportion,—Liverpool Alb• ton.
