tactor of the Ferry, with the view ofeaysing bin ty
row the Perry Steamer every quarter of at hour, trom
9 o'clock a m to 4 p th, on Market days, and to dredge
o¢rtain portions of the river so as to unsure the crossing
ofthe Steamer at the lowest tides, and also to make
uther necessary and loudly called for improvements for
the safety and convenience of the Carelling, public in

tadrisable, they might bay out the contractors’

How Mr Davies said one of the priacipal entrances

of the dulay and incouvenienve experienced vy the

of taking immediatesetion on the subject.

Dr Jenkina endorsed the remarks of the Hon Mr
Davies, which, trom #ad experiunce, he kuew to be
correct, Frequently, when has ily called upon to gross
the Ferry in the discharge of bis professionai duties, he
was compelled to borrew boats. In his opinion the
time had arrived when two Steamers were required on

with others in the sale of their produce and other wares,
and consquently were subjected out only to inconyen-

Tur Islander of Friday last has another long article
onthe Loan Bill, the burden of which is, that if the
money is obtained, it will be applied to paying off the
Warrants now afloat, and that thus an injury will be in-
flicted upon those who have invested their capital in
such warrants. If the money were to bv so applied,
we betivve it would be a positive benefit to the Colony ;
fur once the warrants Were called in, the money whieh
is now bound up in them would not be allowed to re-
main idle, out would Le invested in enterprises which
would tend to develope the trade and resources of the
Colony. So far, therefore, from the Loan proving an
injury in the way pointed out by the Islander, it would
bw a source of much benefit both to individuals and the
community at large. The Islander has tailed to estab-
lish one good reason against tha Loan, or to satisfac
torily account for the change which his own opizions
have Wodergone upon the subject within the last few
years. The very fact of Lis being opposed to the moa-
