be a number of lots with Sea frontage; and upon the opposite side of Shop's or Dwelling Houses, a row with some good Situations for Villas further up the hill.

In what constitutes now the bulk of the Town (between Government-Hill and the Lower Bazaar) it appears to me that the present disposition of Streets must be followed out; but more regard will be paid to uniformity and regularity in building, than has hitherto been done.

In this locality there are still some valuable lots of land not disposed of; and along the Northern side of the road a few Marine Lots have been retained by the Government.

His Excellency the Governor has, I believe, already decided, that the Church is to be built on the flat space at the front of Government. Still.

On the face of this Hill, a little more to the Southward, I propose to erect the Buildings which will be required for Courts of Law, and various other offices. There is ample space for two ranges of Terraces without going further up the Hill than the situation known as the "Acclimatizing Barracks", and that the present Government House, with whatever additions may be required, may be there, for the Secretaries and personal Staff.
