A CRITIC OF WELLINGTON.
.Sir.-Hn.ying heard so-much about the "Empire City, I, as a',visitor to .the place, would like to express my disappointment on arrival. Docs :t never striko tlw self-satisfied public of this commercial city that if a little more money was devoted to,the beautifying and cultivating of tho barren hills and the surrounding lands, and a smaller amount 1 spent in tho shops and their own personal adornment, how much nioro pleasing;to. tho cyo. of visitors, might it be made on their approach to the place, especially so .to those arriving by sea?' After all is said, has Wellington anything to i boast of; > apart from tho fine harbour and a tow fine buildings, although on visiting the Opera House hero, I found much", need of improvement. As for tho Art (?):Galleryr-well, it speaks for itself. V I will. conclude by saying that, although not asked; for, an ouUido l opinion'is often not to bo scoffed at.—l am, etc., ' ■;V ..'■,' MAJOR GOFF. September ■ 13.,,
