TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Ukder the guise of a reply to an “ Elector,” our contemporary of Saturday insinuate that a letter in our last from a correspondent, “Argus,” is from the pen of Sir It iliiam Colenso. We unhesitatingly reply that such is not the case—that gentleman having no knowledge ox the matter. Auers.—We do not think there is any necessity for publishing your letter, in reply to An Englishman,” in Saturday's * Herald.’ We have no doubt that you are quite right in your conjecture as to the authorship of that " piece of trash ”; that that is not the first letter he has written against Mr Colenso; and that he is none other than a Government hireling,—one of those who, in the words of an immortal English poet—- '■ Eaok their brains for lucre, not for fame.” • Givis.—On account of the arrival of the English mail, and the consequent press upon our space, your letter must s land over till Thursday. It will keep. BhEOTos.—We are reluctantly compelled, for the reason above stated, to hold over your communication until our next issue.
