PUBLIC HALL, HAMILTON.

Sm,— When the Dofence Mini«ter w.is in Hamilton the other day howai mked, and promi-ted to see to the sale of an allotment v\ the township at upset \moo for the Public Hull Company, and tkU u tlio only eridenco of ltfo that tins b>dy hns during the past six month*. It is iititfactary, however, to find alight though the pulsation be, that vitality still oxisrs, though I ehould be muoh bettor pleased to hear it announced tint the Public Hall Company had fairly awoke lio n its trance and commenced a courao of vigoroue aclion. In other places than Hmiiiton, the Defence Minister was asked for something more than 'i mpro site for the building at upsot price. A sum of £100 xrat promisod towards the erection of a Hull at Cambridge, aivi at Alexandra, vrhere they alreidy havo had the public spirit to hinld a Hall, the Defence .Minister was njked for and promised t.ie means to proridft lining and fittings fur tho as yet m.finished building. Poor-spirited IlHmilton could get in fnrt her than the site winch had Taeen already promised by Dr Pollen. Even Nuaruawahia, down-trodden, sit upon, neglected Nearuiwalua saw irs opportunity in the case of the hospital and, tinaniin^uj to u naa, gallantly jammed the Defence Minister into a corner and secured their point. Tho refidme*s with which the consent was given to afford the assistance asked for in the jiattor of a Public Hall at Oambiidgonnd Alexandra shews clearly enough what might havo been done by Hamilton had those who ought to have been to'the front whon the Defence Minuter was here been le»s conspieuou« than they were by their absence.— l am, &c, Q-.
