THE NEW ZEALANDER ABROAD.
IRISHMEN claim that their capital is one of the most beautiful of European cities, and impartial judges are not inclined to dispute their contention. There are some very fine buildings in Dublin, and several large parks ; and off-shoots of the Wicklow Mountains constitute a picturesque background to many of the streets on the south side of the Liffey. The river divides the city into two equal portions, and is spanned by a number of fine bridges, the last of which, Carlisle Bridge, connects the two great thoroughfares, Sackville and Westmoreland-streets, and is the point from which the finest views of the public buildings and river are obtained. The harbour gives shelter to large vessels. Dublin University or Trinity College is an ancient institution, having been founded by Queen Elizabeth. It is a distinguished seat of learning, and has given to the world many men conspicuous for ability.
