CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the "■Evening Mail.' Sir—A letter signed "Protestant" appeared in the columns of your contemporary the Colonist this morning. As such a letter is of a nature of injuring a good cause, I wish to avail myself of your issue of this evening to give a short answer. It is a pity that this gentleman should have covered his name with a signature which, I am sure, does not convey the general feeling of his persuasion. Protestants are far from being so narrow-minded as be represents himself, for I can judge by the many years I have lived in this community of their marked liberality. As to the subject of the letter I am quite willing, in order to please " Protestant," to enter into a polemic on the use of the funds received from the public towards St. Mary's Orphanage, provided he will give me publicly his name; and after I have shown him what monies I have received from the community both for Church and Orphanage, and what expenses each object separately has caused, he will pledge himself to make up the deficiency. —I am, &c, A. M. Garin. Nelson, September 12.
