Original Correspondence.

To the Editor of the New-Zealander. Sm —You hare repeatedly and properly called a tontion to the comparative melesmiess ot the signals at Modnt Victoria, owing to the inability of our towmpeople to Bco tbtyP; 19 as to derive, generally speaking,

any sati>.factory information from them. The reined or this deficiency would obviously be a repetitioti of (hemlin some conspicuous part of the town. But where and /tow is this to be do le 1 The eminence on which St. Paul's Church and iti immediate nfi^hbourhood ataud, would obviously be a fitting— .jrobably tho moit fitting place. Now, as I walked about tlißt locality a day or two since, I observed a flag-staff newly erected before the house of a gallant officer, who has lately come to live in his present residence ; and the thought was suggested to me, how admirably might Mujor , by the use of his flagstaff, and, peradventure, by the aid of some of his willing men, —contribute towards the promotion of an end whicli would not merely be a convenience and a gratification, but also a renl good to many of the inhabitants of the town. I s»y no more, however. Piobably I ihould apologise for even throwing out the idea ; but if lam wrong in doing so, I may plead as some excuie that the public spiiit, generosity, and courtesy of the gallant officer to whom I have taken the liberty of referring, give BOrne warrant to a respectful suggestion like that which I huva ventured to hint at rather than dwell on. Your'a, &c i A WAYFARER. Auckland, Feb. 5, 1850.
