TO CORRESPONDENTS.
“ I.J.”—Your comments on this paper are incorrect end unwarranted. Letter therefore declined. “ Argument.”—There are eight cities in Now Zealand—Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch', Dunedin, Palmerston North, Wanganui, Invercargill, and Nelson. A town becomes a city when its population reaches 20,000. . Nelson is the exception. With a population of 11,400 it is a city, and was declared so in 1859, when Royal Letters Patent creating the Anglican Diocese of Nelson consecrated the town of Nelson as the bishop’s see, and ordered it to be a city.
