Kow that every mining district of importance can boast of their Mining Associations, it would not, I presume, be. out of place to point out a way in which they could confer a lasting benefit on ike miners of Neiv Zealand* Since tlicir agitation on the Chinese Questions has proved to be labour lod — oviug, I think, mainly to the iveak resistance offered — J would draw their attention to the Ezzpo.it Duty of 2s. Gd an ounce on gold, which I ■"■think v an, unjust tax on their lahour. If the Treasury Offices are lav:, and need leplenislung, ivhy should one class bear the brunt of all ? Why not charge so much a Imsliel on idicat, oats, <£•'•. ?or so mi i oh on prettied meats? in fact, put cni e.ipcrt dtrfi/o/i all provincial : proivce, so that it toill be divided?

J?ur instance, the admirable roads we have constructed to ih". same ; also t)te enormous expense of puying one Warden, one Gold ■ Receiver,' one Clerk of the Court, and three policemen to lo'/k after four or five districts, with a popvl'iiion of over four thousand. The revenue derived from winer.r rights at- one pound should be reduced at least to one-half.
