 streets are pretty, regular, and well built, having 

 an open space, together with an ornamental garden- 

 plot, in front of them. North of the town is a hill, 

 called Mount Langton, on which is the Government 

 House, and a flag-stalF, by means of which commu- 

 nication is kept up between St. George, the Dock- 

 yard, and Gibbs' Hill. A few miles to the north- 

 west of Mount Langton is the residence of the 

 Admiral — St. John's Hill, or Clarence Lodge. 



It is fortunate for the traveller that Bermuda pos- 

 sesses other attractions than those offered by its 

 public buildings ; for these are devoid of either 

 beauty or interest ; indeed, with the exception of 

 Trinity Church, the New Hotel, the public ofiBces, 

 and two of the chapels in Hamilton, there are none 

 deserving the name ; and of these. Trinity Church 

 and the New Hotel have alone any claim to architec- 

 tural design.
