SUBURBAN NORTH.

To the Editor op ihs Evening Mail. Sir— Your contemporary of to-day in a note appended to Mr C. Monro's letter puts forth a novel and starting doctrine of editorial morals. Because Mr Monro failed to give to the Colonist immediately tbe dffrii's of an accident, at which he lia'l been present, therefore the high-minded editor is nt liberty to lir.ig ladie/ names before the public in the moßt invidious mnnner, nnl to go on publi?hlishtng on a'ternate diys for the best part of a fortnight a dreary string of monotonous letters, none written by eye-witnesses, and none contributing lo enlighten the public as to an affait, of which it very little interested the public to know anything. My "general fervant" scalded her hand yesterday, anl I have not yet " given to the proprietors of the public prints a state* ent of the unfortunate accident." The Colonist will therelore be at liberty to publidi a letter from her young man, enraged by the loss of his Easter tide courting, in which he may state that ruy wife held that stout dam'cl down while my daughter and some young la-lies of her Bcquaintai.ee deluge I her with bailing water. It will be notictd th it all the riding party bore names prominent io the party opnosed to the Colonist. Mr Luskie was a tolerably bitter antagonist, but he knew better and felt better than to etrike his loes through their women, nor would he have suffered such brutality in a subordinate or a correspondent. — I am, &c, One op Manx.
