ARRIVAL OF THE ovn‘itLA'ND ' MAIL. ’ IVIALLORY'S er'rron, March 19.-A gentleman well known in San Francisco, bought on the 25th, sixty feet in can of the \Vashoe silver mines at $35,000. A diagram of the original Comstock srlver mine in Carson Valley, has been brought to San Francisco. It shows the lead to be two and a half miles long, run- ning north and south,all of which is claimed by thirty companies, who are digging shafts or tunnels in twenty-four places into the hills, where the lead is supposed to pass. A few months will suffice to establish the extent of this mine, which as yet is only proved tosbc rich in one section, although evidences of silver have been found through the distance claimed. Hundreds ofclalms for miles around in the same region have been taken up, and are being opened by tunnels and shafts. But months must elapse before anything positive, as to their richness, can be known. tavern-keepers, asking us if we should not discharge our overplu‘s ,flland; and further, stutirigthat ‘fthji's ,is just the way in "whichbthc {cash stands between the municipalities and the tavern-kccpgs’l; By "the. abOVt: it is expressly implied that some of the tavern-keepers licenses wore to be Withdrawn; and thctri-n the next brcutll he says, there “is only to be a limited number in the future.” In this man, which is true?

Our esteemed correspondent must be a very superficial reader, or he would have seen that we did show its absurdity and its utter in- abilityto cure the evil complained of. As to the argument that We do not. know that Municipal legislation will fail till it is tried, we answer that experience is a dear school, and only fools 9will learn in no other.” If a general Prohibitory Law liasrfailcdgâ€"and failed it has, then it is an, utter absurdity to ex- be successfulâ€"when the giant has been defeated the pigmy‘s chance of success is but small. Again, he guns that if we “ have two men in our office of equal capabilities,&c.” and wanted only one, should we keep the two? Decidedly' not. But are. the cases parallel? ‘lVe lrow not. There is no analogy be- tween the two cases; the one has loses nothing by a change of place; but the other has purchased pro- ty, and laid out money in a cer- bably his all, by the change pro- to instruct us in The writer then goes on to say , Here we again join is- We read the petitions,and we be number of taverns; be- _ tee of $80, and another only $40, “Will not. weigh a pound of troy."

Our logically wise friend further says that houses of accommodation and houses for the sale of intoxicating drinks, are very different things. Now this. is all very fine in theory, but practi- cally, our would-be logician knows it is false; he knows that no tavern is “ceased merely to sell spirituous liquors; each tavern is bound to have, a Certain amount of accommo- dation;-and if this law is not en- forced, so much the worse for the township. But again, our friend admitsthal our anirnadVersion on the S. of T’s. is to a certain extent correct, and advises them in future to make Prohibition a test. question at ‘the municipal‘elcctions. We rather doubt the wisdom of such a course, as we do like the idea of riding a blind horse to death. Our Coun- cillors have other duties than the bugbear prohibition to attend to. Mr, Prohibiticin also meanly in‘sinuates in the last part of his letter, that we come out under the auspicm of the tavernâ€"keepers.» We hurl back the insinuation with 5. ~.. ."l).-‘ r r" 'vet‘o ot scorn, [aml V none but a mean soul‘ed ‘man would make ll] we write honestly what we think without fear or favor.

To infuse life and zeal amongst temperance men has ever been our desire; and in no shape or form have we ever cast one slur on so good a. cause.

I presume, opon to tho discussion of all subjects of interest to you' readers, permit me to make a few remarkably way of criticising on the article above unmod. You say, “ Township Legislation" on the subject of internperancc “ is a manifest absur- dity.” Our stock of information would has,“ been increased had you pointed out in what tho absurdity consists.

Ibex to say that poor Paul Pry has told more than one untvuth. In the first place, the cord-wood spoken of as - being an “obstruction,” was not hauled upon Mosley street by Mr. Charles Bares ford, upon the occasion. of the fire, but long before the fire took place ; and to sayithat the wood is no obstruction to the road is another un- truth. The Wood is piled in an angling direc- tion across the road, so that the centre of the road is wholly obstructed ; and to say that the road is only travelled on Sunday by persons going to and from the New Connexion Metho- dist Chapel, is also false. It is travelled by Dr. Hillary at all hours of the night; and whom it was that justly made the complaint to me; and for tho edificationof Paul I’ry, I can assure him that Mr. Edmonds shall pay dearly for his impudonco and contempt of authorityyif he refuses any longer to comply with the requirement": that the ease demands. duties, and you find at the close ofthe term for which you have employed them, that you and but the service of one, would you foolivonrnolf‘ bound to continue them boll: invrlt‘c . vold find no fault with either "" ‘ rm see, this is just the way in w._,.. r the matter stands with the Municipalities and the tavern, km: The Pititious to which you allude did not ask that license be withdrawn from'uny an.I but that a limited number be granted in the {its ture.

By this passing remark you would seem to convey to the minds of your reader. the impression that the gentleman named not himself in opposition to the petitions presented by the friends of Temperance. This is not the fact. If our memory serves us correctly, Mr. Howlard stated that in his opinion mountain! of taverns in the Township of Vaughan, VII greater than the wants of the community re. quired; and proposed as a remedy that the He cense foe be raised to a sum nearly, if not quite, double to what it has formerly boon, This, hp thought. would have the effect of reducing number of taverns in the Township: which Villa 0‘, V‘ .. pore. would have been virtually complying with the petition presented.
