NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

"Shareholder" writes a long letter, pin-, porting to comment on a recent meeting of shareholders of the Belfast Ooldmining Company, reported in our paper of the 2nd. The letter sets out by imputing unworthy motives to Mr. Hammond, who convened the meeting, and then goes into details as to the working of the mine to prove the inaccuracy of his statements. "Shareholder" may be quite right, for anything we know, but the place to bring it forward is at the special meeting which the directors promise to convene. Moreover, it does seem, a little odd, to say the least of it, for a simple " Shareholder" to take the pains of ascertaining all the particulars of the working, and of rectifying the accounts, admitted to have been paid, in one particular, and yet write anonymously. Perhaps the true reason why the letter was written may be found in the following paragraph, which concludes the letter: —"To the shareholders I say, Examine well into the conduct of your mining manager before you resolve to discharge him ; and I trust that neither the discontent of unreasonable and unpractical shareholders, nor the fawning of place-hunters, will induce you to dispense with the service of your present manager, whose knowledge of working is, I believe, equal to that of any mining manager on this field."
