DANGEROUS.

I To the Editor of the Argui.

Sir,-To tako n saunter in tho Bush, near (lia City of Melbourne, especially when such Is uninclused ground, Is a prlvllcgo her citizens ought to enjoy In perfect safety, and without molestation. But such is not the caso In tho northern part of tho suburbs, whore somo few ncros of valuable lard havo boon marked olf for educational and recreativo porroscs ; for, although the greiter part of tho sito bo Indlstlngulshablo (not being enclosed), yet, It Is risking life to tread it. I happened to bo passing that way on Sunday cvonlng, when I was rather abruptly hailed from a tent on the University ground, in rale Hibernian " Orcok," to "go on out o' that or he'd shoot tho towl cut a ino."

Now, Sir, It may bo very well to ondow overy reli- gion, but la It right, or will Melbourne citizens permit, tho first professor's chair to bo that of tho bloodthlnty Thug, whether Indian or Irish t

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

A CITIZEN.

July 10,1851.
