NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Mr. Joseph Crispe writes to us on ".our game laws." Whilst Advocating the careful preservation of game, and all imported birds and animals, Mr. Crispe is opposed to the unnecessary restrictions of the law of last session, which would prevent settlers, who feed and protect game, from shouting over their own land without paying a license. He thinks the settlers ought to concert | measures for opposing this arbitrary law. Mr. A. Winder (a Forester} writes acknowledging the friendly spirit of " Anthropos " in proffering his aid to "calm the troubled waters " which he thinks have been agitated by the Heception Committee. Mr. Winder declines the proffered aid, and does not thimk there have been angry feelings displayed Perhaps the correspondence which Mr. Ogilvie sends us will be found more to the point. It appears in another place. Mr. Benjamin Turner writes complaining of the breach o* public faith about to be committed by the Provincial Government at Newmarket. He states that surveyors have been sent by the Superintendent to peg off the public reserve lying between the two roads leading down to Hobson'i . Bridge, and contiguous to Eetreat Cottage, the residence of Mr. Turner. Our correspondent "doubts if the Superintendent can give a good title" to this land. Mr. Turner writes to us to lay that when he bought his allotment from the Government in May, 1845, it was " publicly stated by Mr. Sinclair that there would be a piece of land laid off as a reserve for a market, or any other public use it might be required for." We really do not know any good reason why this reserve should be turned into money now. It is not the best tim« to sell it, w«re it advisable to do so. Mr. Turner suggests that this land is being sold to enable the Superintendent to keep up the game of provincial extravagance a little longer. Who knows ? Several letters to the Editor are in type, and will hay» early insertion.
