ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. Wellington, 12th June, 1846.
Sir, — I was sorry to see the correspondence between the Superintendent and the Magistrates of Wellington in your paper of Wednesday last, because it has given me no very great opinion of his Honor the Superintendent. I was present at Barrett's Hotel, on the day the troops were attacked by the natives up the Hutt, when the Pol cc Magistrate, assisted by Captain Daniell, and Mr. Clifford, by the measures he proposed to adopt, established a feeling of security to the people in the town, and I for one returned to my family with very different feelings to those 1 had experienced an hour or two before. I felt that every thing would be done to place the inhabitants under proper protection, and I think the Superintendent, having followed out the arrangements that had beer, previously made by the Police Magistrate, should have thanked him for his services rather than have shewn the petty jealousy and nasty feelings which his letter conveys. I am, Your's, A Settler.
