CompliUcnts have reached us that no copies of the New Zealand' Tablet have been sent to our friends in the Queenstown district. We beg to assure these friends that forty copies have been regularly forwarded every week to Queenstown, and that consequently their disappointment can not be attributed to us. It our subscribers in this - district will send us the numbers of the missing copies, we shall endeavor to procure them and forward them without delay.- Arrangements will be made at once to prevent, if possible, such a disappointment in future. In this matter the post-office is not to blame. Editob, N.Z.T.

Oub opinion on the Permissive Bill ha? not met with the approval' of its advocates. We never thought it would. Some strong letters an the subject have been addressed to us. The first that came to* hand appears in our issue of to-day, and we regret to be unable to afford space for another addressed to us by a- courteous correspondent from Wellington, who was kind enough to enclose his card. We areunwilling to have any controversy in this journal on the subject. All agree as to the absolute necessity of doing something reasonable to diminish drunkenness as much as possible. As to the means, however, there is a great diversity of opinion. The Permissive Bill has its* advocates — we are amongst its opponents, because we are of opinion such a law would do more harm than good, and be an instrument of'" injustice, &c. Surely we may hold this opinion without justly exciting^ the wrath of its advocates !
