LIGHTING OF THE SUBUUBS. It is really time that something was done to throw a little light on the gloom that nightly envelopes the approaches and outskirts to the city ; iind the following report of the Lighting Committee yesterday submitted to "the City Bo^ird was a step in the right direction.
Your Committee beg to report that since last meeting of this Board a gns lamp has been erected upon Constitution Hill, and whenever pipes are laid, two lamps will be erected in Upper Queen-street and two in Wellington-street, at the junction of Howe and Hepburn-streets. Your Committee are of opinion that there are more needful places for the erection of a lamp than " that of a spot between Princes and Eden-streets," and would recommend one being erected in Mechanics' Bay, as the road is very dangerous, being much cut ip by carts conveying timber from the Bay.
