Odr advertising columns of last Monday contained a legal notice, according to Act of ParJuunuii, Indicating the streets in the city- or Wellington where tramways are to be laid down (authority for which has been already granted by the City Council). It will be seen they will extend from the Railway Station, along Lambtou-quay, Manners-street, the Cricket Ground, to the City Boundary, to the Adelaide-road, and other parts of the city. From notices we have from time to time observed, street tramways have paid well in Europe and America, ranging up to a dividend of 26 per cent, on the outlay in St. Petersbnrgh. Messrs. O’Neill and Henderson, civil engineers, the promoters of the scheme, have been busy acquiring the best information with regard to the most recent appliances and improvements in tramways and tramway carriages, with the intention of adopting the newest and most approved system for the successful carrying out of the Wellington tramways. In a commercial point of view, the venture seems to us as likely to turn out a most lucrative investment, and we wish the undertaking every success, as it will be of the greatest benefit and convenience to the public generally. i ■
