ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editor of the New-Zealander,
Sir, 1 Lave, in common wilh many of our fellow colonists, looked forward with hopefulness to our settlement being erected into a Municipal Corporation, supposing our charter would in principle be identical with those of the mother country, which have doubtless conferred valuable gifts on her sons, not only in the way of direct material benefits, but still more by their indirect influence in forming the national character. In the document as published in the New-Zealandeu of Saturday last, it is obvious the details are to a certain extent purposely assimilated, but if I am not much mistaken, a leading principle is altered, as may be seen by referring to suctions No. 60 and 61. Was ever such a condition embodied in the charter of any Borough in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ? Then upon what grounds is this distinction made between fiee fellow subjects of the same Sovereign. Hoping to elicit some light upon this point from the initiated, I remain your&c, Bth September, 1851. A Colonist.
