Description

MELBOURNE.

The largest of all the Australian capitals. Melbourne rivals in its size, wealth, and population—and, unhappily, also in other less desirable characteristics—the great cities of Europe and of the United States. The population has now reached over 452,000, nearly half of the entire population of Victoria. The stately street whose long vista Stretches before us is Collins Street, one of the eight great thoroughfares which run Irom north to south through the city. Collins Street is exactly a mile in length, and, as may be seen, is wide, well paved, and what is bsst of all in a hot country, well shaded. On the left of the picture may be seen the vessels lying in the Yarra Yarra. which reaches the sea nine miles below the city. The round dome of the Law Courts is seen in the distance on the right; the two churches are the Scots Church and the Independent Church, respectively.
