The North Otago Times has been permitted to make the following extract from a letter received by an Oamarti resi-

dent from it friend in Melbourne, the writer being in a position to know what he is writing about: —" I regret to tell von business in Melbourne is very quiet. To a stranger no dontit it would for a time appear busy ; hut all arc suffering a recovery, as in ,\ew Zealand, from reaction after the land boom. For whatever position is offering there are legions of applicants. Salaries of all I<inds are lower than iu New Zealand. Kxpense of living is higher, and for discomfort and filth I have seen no city to approach Melbourne. Through neglect of ordinary sanitary precautions daily, life is most precarious, as is particularly evidenced by statistical returns of small increase in the population during the past 20 years. No doubt thero is a iarga number of individual rich residents, several drawing largo incomes from New South Wales, 'Queensland, etc.. but thorn is as well a great amount of poverty and misery with want in the suburbs of tho city—each suburb with a population equal to Dunedin or Cbristchurch. I cannot give you a more cheerful account to he correct. They have been living on English money (borrowed), and sooner or later they will have to face steady work iu the country, as in New Zealand, to meet engagements. cannot obtain employment, and talks of returning to New Zealand. Mauy have returned, and others would if they had the passage money."
