Wohks in Tictobia-steeet.—Our readers of yesterday morning will probably have wondered like ourselves, at the great discrepancy between the highest and the lowest tenders sent in for the performance of this work, £304 and £'62, (the accepted tender.) Yesterday however the Chairman of the Board received a letter from Mr. David Evans, stating that his tender had been framed under a misapprehension as to the finding of material and stating that he could not do the work tinder £110. No such offer could of course be received after the publication of the other tenders and the next lowest on the list is that of Messrs. John Moore and Co., at £'146 4s.
