[advebtisement.] (To, .the Editor of the Thames Advertiser, v per favor of the Evririsra Stab.) r Sir,-—lt is some time since you and I had a literary battle, but as you once more wish to renew the acquaintance I beg the privilege which I believe all honorable journalists, accord to those whom they a)tack, namely, the same weapons as you use yuurs&wjr-the columns of your paper to reply.' 'When gentlemen fight a duel both are fully armed ; one does not face the other with his hands tied behind his Sack—that would be considered cowardly. Now, Mr Editor, throw open your •columns to me; and if I don't answer you 1 to-your f own- and the public satisfaction I will pay £5 to the Thames Hospital. You wonder whether I aim the irrepressible lady who did the lobbying, and got the £100 last session. More unlikely ihfogs happened. All I regret is that circumstances prevent me from lobbying this time. I really beliere you have the ' gift of prophesy. You said I .was a terror last session ; it is this cne. you must have meant. I only applied to have unpaid Government officials looked after. Now, I am about to apply, to the Hon. the Premier for a seat in the Upper House for! :.thepaid; officials, and have referred him to Mr Tole for any information as to" qualification and suitability. That gentleman was deeply impressed with the justice of all he saw and. heard in the McManus versus Baxter case, and sated that for trickery and hard swearing it quite equalled the Tichborne case, and if it took me the next two years; to siffc it to the botfpm, with God's help .-I-will do it. It won't be the unpaid £1 j conduct inpney that will keep important witnesses away next time. I will obey ; judge Fen ton, and ask for my book before witness. If I were only in Wellington now 1 feel sure, I, would ho of more use to 'reform the present laws "than a dozen professional men. I could show
