A public meeting was held at the Miners' Home Hotel on the 17th instant, to organise a Miner's Literary Association. A number of persons were present, and all the resolutions were adopted without opposition. For the purpose of carrying out this laudable object, a committee was appointed who purpose canvassing for subscriptions, and, no doubt the miners, with their usual liberality, will contribute freely to so desirable an institution. I am informed that several persons have promised contributions of books, &c.
Since my last almost the only thing of importance that I have to note is the public meeting that took place at McDonald's Hotel on Saturday afternoon with reference to the new mining bill now before the Assembly, which I shall allude to in another part of mv correspondence. We are still in a very quiet state as regards general business, and there is little stir anywhere likely to be observed until the commencement of the holidays.
