ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE TO THE EDITOR OF THE COLONIST. Sir, I beg you will insert the following in your respectable and widely circulated paper:—Having arrived in this colony a few months since, and hearing of that beautiful district the Hunter, I took a tour in that direction, and travelled nearly to its source in duty bound to the inhabitants , I must say I met with the greatest hospitality. In many parts, the highly respectable land proprietors have made considerable improvements on their estates, but upon my visiting Ash Island, the estate of Walker Scott, Esq., I was quite astonished to see the quality of the soil, the very high state of cultivation, in which the land is; the elegant cottage and flower garden, together with upwards of 1000 of the choicest fruit trees; and to my utter surprise, the superintendent (Mr.' Brunker,) to, whom the greatest praise is due, informed me, that this beautiful estate, and with so much improvements is only three years located. I beg to recommend the settlers on the Hunter to visit Ash Island, and (if in their power), to be guided by the taste there displayed. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN EMIGRANT.
