[ADTEImSEITENT.] TO THE SHARK HOLD ICRS OF THIC CURE GOLD MINING COMPANY (LIMITED). GentliKJlEn, — In ease you, or any of you, may be misled by a leading article which appealed in til? £-fining Star of Saturday last, in reference to your mine, we think it us well briefly to state, Cor your inforoiutiou, the following facts : — 1. That, as the representatives of your interests, we have thought, and still think, that we have a most perfect riglr to adopt what we consider the most advisable course in : your interests; and tln.t we are responsible to yon ulone as to the propriety of our actions. 2. That, bearing in mind this main principle of action, and that the mine was your private property, ur.cl concerned ycu alone, we have refrained from giving unbounded license of inspection of the mine lo uil classes at all s times—firstly, because s::eh license might materially interfere with the proper working ' of the mine; and, secondly, because we did ] not, and do not, cie.-ru it expedient that the risk of specimen-stealing and false-reporting J should be extended. j 3. Hut notwithstanding these our view = , 1 to have so l'ar bunt to the genera! custom of , tlie fi-!d. fa J That t-lie mine lias been in- f variably open to the public during one day in 2 every week; and C'.), that the mine lias ■ been invariably o;h n to the reporters s of newspapers for two days in every ■ week, and up to tiis 21st November last always open, (c.) That s laivhoMers could ( at all times obtain access by applying to the i directors for a permit. , As far as reporters are concerned—in view ' of their systematic and persistent- silence for i a long timo on all mat.'.crs connected with iho mine—in view of the use made of information j (professionally gained) for private purposes — in view of the irreflu/-ir (to use a mild phras.') . ( overtures made by representatives of the ! ( Press to gain information,—we say, in vie* 1 ] of all this—eveu were the mine a public one, —we should not for a moment thinK of i ] offering them any explanation or satisfaction for their exclusion. 1 But denying, as we do, wholly the right of ' the public or the trus3 to pry into matters solely ail'ecting private properly, and lo in- s sinuate themselves contrary to the wish of the representatives of the proprietors, we are quite couUnt to smile at the Star article as an impertinarit and nn-w.-uvantable attempt to coerce by threats threa's to us perfectly harmless and meaningless. For our own part, gentlemen, please clenjty understand (1) That we have acted to the best of our ability and discretion in your interest ; and (2) That if you don't think so, we are quite prepared to resign on being assured that such is the wish of a majority of the shareholders. As touching the allusion in the Star, classing some of us with the Green Harp directors, wo are quite content to pity the perhaps wellmeant, but certainly intemperate, zeal which lifts (too frequently) characterised tha Star on the present occasion. Such insinuations from other sources, perhaps might call for notice ; but the rishness and indiscretion of many of the Star's nsser- I tions are now too proverbial and well-known to call forLli more than a passing smile. We are, accordingly, quite prepared to let, this ' P a5S " - i 'lie Directoes.

Heretofore 90 per cent, of the telegraphic I operators in the Grand Duchy of Baden have been- women. Here.ifter the working of the , wires is to be in the hands of the Imperial authorities, who think that the women's propea- '■ sity'to gossip has too wide a range with the tele"graph in their possession, and accord infjlj measures are being taken to provide tho dismissed operators with a husband and a home. " How many regular boarders have your" asked a census-taker of a lady. " Well, really, I can't Bay as any of 'em is very regular. They stay out." "I mean, madam, how many steady boarders have you ?" " Well, really, out of nineteen there's not more'n two that I'd call steady." Manning's Pills.—Tho best Family Aperient known: The action of the Fills is Tonic, Alterative, and Purifying.

The enormous sale there is for these powdera, and the universal approbation of those who have tried them, induce the proprietor to make them universally ! known, that all may benefit by them. Few children 1 in this country are free from worms, yet one small packet of these powders is sufficient entirely to expel t them from the child, and induce a perfectly healthy state of the stomach and bowels. If the child be pale - and thin, without appetite, and the aspect feeble and - delicate, a few bottles of a tonic mixture containing e iron should be given, with plain and wholesome food. .Sold in packets.
