MR. WILL'S MISSION.

(2o the Editor vf the .Daily Times.)

Sir— Permit me to express ray re«:et tbat the letter dated Edinburgh. iiiul ALurdi, 18>t. ;md signed " Andrew "Keay,'' which iippca-td in the " Daily Times" two days ago, was published without, an exp'anafion as to how it came into your hcnd:;, as I find that there is an idea eatertained in some quarter.} that some person in Otap;o had something to do with its publication, while I doubt not "you will admit that you received it iirect from Edinburgh; that it was addressed to the " Daily Telegraph," and, as you are now the representative of that, piper, you published it without nsiy ref renee (o any person in Ot:igo. Permit me further to say, tbat had the publication depended either on Mr Will or his friends in Otsgo, it would not have appeared. I am, &c,

John Gillies, Your insertion of the above will oblige. Dunedin, 21st June, 1864.

[Tne Editor of the late " Te'egraph" ssnfc U3 the letter referred to, besging in a note, ia which. it was enclosed, that we would consider it ad* dressed to ourselves and itjserr it. Foolishly relying on bis judgment, we inserted the letter without subjecting it to ths usual editorial revision. Jt is scarcely nc-ces'ary to add that, had it; been so subjected, it would Tint have obtained admission to ou ■ columns ] —E.J) T.

THE BREAD QUK-sTION. (To the Editor of the Daily Times.) Sir, — Will you be good enough to allow me space iv the columns of your papsr, to r-ply to a most uncalled-for and scurrilous attack, which was made by a correspondent, Mr J. T. Grwynne, the other day, in Ids attempt at replying to a letter writfceu by " Pro Bono Publico, ' ;md published in your paper cf the 7th inst. lam surprised that any man of sound nrnd could be cap?=b!e of concocting soch a mass of rubbish, and cannot for the life of me make out. what could hare induced him to rush into print. • lie sole object I had in view when ■ penned tie letter was to show the general public, that it was a practical matter for them to rectify tha annoys ar.ee that th?y mny have been put to by their bakers rot supplying them with wholesome and cheap bread.. If v,-e may take the number of leadiug articles in your paper—also thu many lette-s by correspondents on tha J3 cad question as any criterion to go by, we who are at a distance from the seat of action mu«t think that ife iias become a question of magnitude and imi:ortnnce. /t therefore becomes our duty to assist in. ameliorating the wants of the people as far as ife may lie in our p.-iwer. It is needless for me to go further iu'o The matter, as it has beeu already well ventilated in the columns o'i your valuable; paper.

I am, Ac, Pho Bono Pcblio. FThis correspondence roust cease here. —Ed. D.T.]
