v It is to be hoped that some of the ex. . ' traordinary vigour which is inherent in’ Sir Geo. Grey, may be left behind in the Government House'at Wellington. There seem to be aMreaminess cfejliesitancj there in doing what is absolutely necessary for the public welfare in this district. We lately referred to the No. 3 line. There is another line of road, which needs repair—that .passing St. John's Wood and Virginia Lake. At the latter place, especially g it is getting worse every day, and unless some, means be taken to avert its. destruction, will soon be quite impassable. A correspondent lately acledged that such matters , were attended to whenever aJ. P. or M. P. C. was. interested, bat this instance does not support the theory, for besides numerous J. P.s and M. P. C.s, no less a dignitary than the Sheriff passes this way into town, and must,one day be buried, in the sand or drowned in the lake, and yet his remains quite; impassive. The Bishop of Exeter is said to be a specific in such cases. To put»off repairing such faults is . very costly. . -What would cost a trifle, if the. repair, were made in. time j will 1 cost . ten times as . much if a short - delay is made. We hope that something will be done in , such matters .calling for. immediate attention. Insignificant they may appear to be to a person not resident here : but to all those who have 1 ; to drive bullock drays into town, they are of the utmost importance.
