A USTRALASI AN ROYAL MAIL LINE C\. OF COACHES, ASHTON and CASSIDY, Proprietors, Will leave Ashton's Family Hotel to-day at 3 p.m., and to-morrow at 7 a.m. A LINE OF SADDLE HORSES in conjunction with the same to all parts of the Colony. E. ASHTON k Co., Proprietors. NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have received a letter from Mr Michael Dowlinp, South Beach, with reference to i our report ol Mr Leach's meeting at Paroa, lon Saturday night. We decline to publish this effusion, because the writer has most unmistakably mixed up the personal explanation he wished to make with a scurrilous attack upon the report as affecting himself, which we have every reason to believe to nave been a fair one. We are always glad to afford the opportunity for the fullest explanation as to matters of fact, but we absolutely refuse to *i\ow our columns to be made the vehicle of personal abuse. Mr Dowling wishes it to be understood that the only participation he had in the meeting of miners with Mr Cooper, the Mining Surveyor, on the question of agricultural leases, was in the direction of opposing Mr Cooper's recommendations. That is the sum and substance of Mr Dowling's letter, minus the diatribe against an imaginary reporter for this paper, which forms the greatest portion of his epistle.
