I am happy to inform you chit f tvor.ible reports continue to be; received from Drybread and vicinity.

The high prices charged so long far beef and mutton have •frequently uee.-i a subject of general complaint, ani have been by many considered extortionate wben compared with the prices charged. iti surrounding neighborhoods. M\ John Mellor, of the Victoria store, Dry - bread, has lately added to his extensive business that of a butchery, and the consequence was that pries fell quicker th:ui tae mercury ever fell iu a thermometer. The public are the decided gainers by a little opposition, and it is to be hoped the vendors will be proportionately remunerated. 'Simultaneous with the above, a movement was startea a!. Blacks to eSVet a reduction in the price of bread which was warmly supported by the residents of Drybread, Tinkers Gully, and Devonshire, the result leing the gaming of the object sought. Te reduce in a twinkling the prices so long paid for the two moat j important articles of consumption— i the one fifty per cent, and the other I thi: ty-thrcc-—is a very effectual method to 1 jen the eyes of the pu-jlio to the amount of profit the monopolists have too long enjoyed.
