Correspondence. HAMILTON STREETS.

Sir, — 7»m not at all jealous of the work •t present poing on under the superintendence of the Chairman of the Town Board, but I should think in his tour of pleasue, that he thould not be ashamed to wnlk Wellesleystreet on his rounds ; though I urn tony to say be would himaelf, if lie had be- times to cross that miserable wooden structure at present placid orer the newlj formed drain passing through it from lfood-street. ' The heavy ranu have washed a terrible gap ut oi.e end of it, thus endangering the hie and hnib of muD and beast. A few loads of loobe clay hare been thrown acioss on the Hood-street tide of it to make it pleasant lor the 1 1. diet to colour their skirts, and rink to their knees, or otherwise (if the; are good leapers) to jump a yard &nd a half of an open dram, four feet deep, leaving the depth of mud to be counted alter they are pulled out, if perchance they don't succeed. Now, feir, surely in a street thirty or forty yards ttiJe, with an open drum, such m I hare described, with a few planks 10 to 14 feet in width to be the only u euns to cross it, jtne rtnjaininfc portion ought to be fenced in ; or, if something is not done to it shortly, 1 I ope the Town Board will hare funds enough to corer t heir expenses at law ; for, as sure as an acideut, occurs, so sure will thej be made pay for it. Hop ng to hear ol an effort being nude by the Board to coti r it all orer, or baring it fenced in — lieuuiu, Ac, A Citjzbn. Humilton, Not 7tli, 18. 6.
