TO TUB EDITOE. Sib,—On Sunday last I \mi staying at Akaroa, and was surprised to i e3 a sie»mer unloading at that port. I am not aware thai the buibo thins ie to bo witnessed at any othur port o( Naw Zealaid. 'ibis Company di> not allow their steamers to whistle on Sundays, and here they allow work to RO on with the utmost publicity. Jsthia Sunday-trading legal? Is it rijht to demoralise thu Couip»£iv's employ cc ? I» it ri(sht to Invade the Suaday quietude of this pott? A3 a triend ol thu Coinpauy, I a-:k the directors to cease inflicting thia injury upon Akaroa for the paltry gain of a few pmnd<; and 1 aak them (o have lespsct to their own good names by interposing at once.—l am, &c, Colonist.
