To the Editor of the Southern Cross. Six, Can you inform the Citizens of Auckland who is to pay the wear and tear of cart and horses ; also, wages for the men* employed to cart and spread the gravel, &c , on the garden walk, of the Chairman of the defunct City Council. Perhaps the City Surveyor, as he styles myself, can give 6ome info ma'ion about it, as he was bo officious in destroying the platform in Queun-street, he may perhaps inform who gave instructions to the carter, to convey the said gravel for the aboTe garden walks. The stable for the City horses is on the same property ; and I believe the Chairman of the late City Council keeps two horses of his own, they perhaps are supplied with forage at the expense of the City also. Now, Mr. Editor, I think it is high time for such like practices to be put a stop to and to stay such evils. One that would not Pat Fire Tax Auckland, July 3, 1855.

To the Editor of the Southern Crots. Sir,— The 'New-Zealander* having editorially, and through its correspondence columns, attributed the authorship of a letter, which appeared in the 'Argus' of the 4th of Mar last, headed "New Zealand, from our own correspondent," to the Superintendent and other*. I beg to give a flat contradiction to such assertions, a contradiction, which in due course will be substantiated by the proprietors of the 'Argus.' I enclose my name in confidance, as far as I am myself concerned, I should have no objections to its being made public ; but I feel that, in allowing this, I should, without the consent of my employers, bo guilty of a breach of confidence. I am, Sir, Yours, &c, The Argus Correspondent. Auckland, July_4,jBss.
