CORRESPONDENCE.

(To ihd Editor of the Moust lua CiiHONiCiE ) Sik, —A letter appears m your issue of the.2Bth, signed "A Lover of.Ordor," complaining of certain scenes of riot and. disorder at St. Bathaus. Ignoring the evident bad taste of your correspondent, in writing on a case -which is sub Judire, I may be allowed to congratulate the residents of St. Batbahs—if the "Lover of Order " is the exponent of their views of justice and order—on the evident change which has come over them within a short time. lam glad to see that the residents in that locality are, though a little late, losing their sympathy with crime, and that instead of. standing between crime and justice, a drunken man in the street raises up now a holly horror in this peaceable locality. I really feel for the gentleman who was inside the glass door, but. had he been inside the iron one; there is no doubt he.would not alone have been safer, but he would have had a more suitable opportunity of studying the works of Mark Twain. Permit me to say that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones, and the cowardly attack on the police at St. Bathans is only what could be expected from the source from which it emanated.—l am, &c, A Lover of Justice.
