St. Kilda, before alluded to; and six miles further, over a splendid macadamized road, we arrive at the beautiful sea bathing-place of Brighton, delightfully situated on the southern extremity of Hobson's Bay. The whole country between these suburbs we have attempted to describe has been subdivided into suburban lots, and sold. Handsome residences of every style of architecture abound, from the Turkish cupola to the Italian villa, the cottage ornèe, the Gothic, and Elizabethan. Good roads intersect the district, and public conveyances are constantly passing to and from the city. Each season, not only the city itself but its vicinity for many miles, assumes a change consequent upon the increasing wealth of the inhabitants, which would appear marvellous in description.
