//7‘iQrineVsliisyi.:Jh':n%lIf!i—§(l'*. tab?“ 11 has been for some time, that we have had E

an intention of putting upon record the im- provement that llll.8_l‘&kBIfl_([‘)ht109 during the lapt your in the appearance 0 . arlottetewn. This we do fcr.tsvrraacous,—lirst, that our readers irylhg enabled at anyfuture time to turn_to t re go of ourgieriodical, and compare it with that en e‘a‘i_d state of the City; and second- ly in the ho , that others may be stimula- ted, to emu to what has been done. and thus render the metropolis worthy‘of the island. It was the boast of one oftlie I':llIp0I'0|'S of Rome, that he had found the city brick and had left it marble. We shall be content if we have ours brick, trusting to others to turn the brick into

marble. ._

That Charlottetown is destined eventually to change her wooden buildings into others of a moresubstaetial character, and less liable to

, we do not in the least doubt. There are many causes tending to this change. Wood is becoming ever do more expensive, and the ﬁcility with w ich rick ofan excellent quality may be manufactured, is every year developing itself. Now, we are in hopes, that the building of such substantial ediﬁces as those of Brcnan, Duncan, and Heard, will go a great way to re- move the unfounded prejudice that exists in the minds of some against brick and stone build- ings. The iirst as long been an ornament and credit to the city. and its utility as a ﬁre-stop- er——we are obliged to coin the word—-has been une uivocally demonstrated. the second and thir are erections of the preceding year ; both are creditable to the owners, on contribute to add to the metropolitan appearance of the

lace, both, we are g ad to say, are three story houses; it is full time to leave oil‘ building of a lesser height, _at least in the more densely po- pulated port of the city. Duncan’: consists of twcilaoge shops, with warehouses above. 'l‘lie shc are 52 feet in depth, by 27 in breath, wit coved ceiling, and extremely well-ﬁnished, 6 large pier glass at the inner extremity serves to ad apparent length to the apartment. The wi'ndows.are of plate glass,each pane 10 ft. by 3, and present a splendid appearance by night as well as day; the corner shop is alone occupied. shutters of Island oak inclose the windows of the other. We are leased by the way to see the native oak taking precedence oi the pine, grained as wainscot. l:leard‘s is o pcsite Queen bquare, next above Messrs. D. £ G. Davies’s store, whose plate glass adds a brilliancy to that rt of the town. We think it a pity that card did not range with that of Davies, the angle ofends the eye, and uniformity of line ii becoming in a street. The shop itself pre- sents a remarkably light and airy appearance, and is in" every way suited to the business car- {ed on. Theeeiling is not eoved as those of

uucan’s, but _a row of dentals some few feet from -the wall have a pretty eifect, ai_id give the appearance of a large nel. The windows and doors are of plate g ass, similamto those of Duncan’s. and together with the broad maho-

The removal of these low dings elongi to Mr. Artenias Sinims, an ‘the snhsti tion,o a line of she s_ in ghgig g , has added much to the beau y and unifc mm of Queen Street.

Mlunxics’ la‘srirurn.—In ursuance of notice, previously given, Mr. Le ago, last evening, read to a crowded andience, his Poem, on the Balance of Power. as nliecting the Nations of uro e. As this Ppem has been published, and can be had for a mere triﬂe, it is unnecessary to enter into the particulars of its subject matter. But pore we may say, that it gives the most and est sinopsis ofthe circumstances of the war that we have seen, and does the Auther—a Native Poet-—iniinite credit, not only in its construc- tion but also in its composition. Some of its passages are truly sublime, and contain the very essence of Poetry. Listen to one out of many of the Stanzas that might be selected. In s eaking of the famous charg that decided the Rattle of Waterloo, the Poet thus pourtrays‘ the vivid scene- “ But ﬁlly paces intervene! avnnt! they forward dare! A hundred bellowing CZ|l'lll¢l'I roar, their tbunilerstliro’

0 all’. That storm they feel, and staggering reel for who is out might show,

To face the I|llplI‘r0us spouts of death, those deadly engines throw?

We have no hesitation in recommending this Poem to the Public, and would advise all to obtain a copy, whether or not it be “Stitched up in kivers. yziller, o, and green.”

50 soon as the Poem had been read an inter- eating and animated debate ensued, opened by his Honor the President, who was followed in quick succession by various speakers :—duriniz which, the political constitutions of Great Bri. tian and France, were discussed ; the mode in which the Balance of Power may be preserved ; the cause that led to Muscovite aggression; the success of the allies, in sustainin the resent war, both by land and by sea, and the g orious end that will ensue.

he debate was well sustained, and u to the present tlrne, has been the Debate of the sum.

It appears from the best infor- mation that we can obtain, as no Coroner’s in- quest was held on. the body, that the deceased had been to Mr. Wi htman’s, Three Rivers, on the previous day wit a sleigh load of cats,with the proceeds of which he was returnin home- wards, when, by an unfortunate deviation them his road near a high bridge, he made his wag to a very deep ravine, in which, he appears from the tracks, to have iloundered backwards and forwards for some time in the deep snow, and being, doubtless, bewildered, had perished before morning from the inclemency of the wea- ther. Deceased had in his cket the remains of a broken black bottle, which had had spirits ' it, the cork of the bottle was afterwards found on the road at the distance of halfa mile from the site of the sad catastrophe. The poor horse was discovered on Sunday morning stand- ing half way up;the hill on the homewnnd side of the ravine, where he had, without doubt. re- mained from the time his master was lost. The unfortunate deceased has left a widow and five young children.
