OVERCROWDING. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Perhaps the inhabitants of this city would bo more contented with the comforts and conveniences for travelling supplied by local institutions both afloat and ashore it they made a few trips in the Union S.S. Company's boats during the summer months. It is notorious that the accommodation supplied by this company is quite unequal to tue passenger traffic of this colony, and it is questionable if it meets the increasing wants for communication with Australia. As an instance of the latter, I am informed that the Te Anau left Melbourne recently with 105 saloon passengers, and that considerable discontent was expressed by many of them. I saw it mentioned in a newspaper the other day that Sir Donald Currie's Company intend employing some of their magnificent steamers in the intercolonial trade of this colony. If they are hesitating and doubtiul of support, would it not be well for Auckland to better itself, and by supplying a tew facts, and giving promise of support, secure the great advantage of increased steam boas facilities, not only for Auckland but tor tne whole oolony.-I am, &c, No Monopoly.
