CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the Evening Mail. Sir, — Allow me to ask whether the £350, so unwisely voted away by our not "heaven-born" senators for "greasy poles " and the usual accompaniments on Friday next, would not bring them somewhat nearer such a desideratum if spent ia repairing the damage done by the Anniversary flood ? With stamp duties, newspaper tax, and every other tax oppressing the settlers, old and^new, a few storms are in store for those who thus wantonly waste the public money ; and that their "reign" may soon be over, is the sincere wish of Old Biggs. Nelson, January 29.
