A SUGGESTION Ar the riek of being told that we are “egainat the bricge,” we suggest that in~ | aead of placing the structure between Kensington and Mutch’s Point, it be ex- nded from the ferry wharf or the rail- vay woarf,on the Charlottetown side, to Opposite shore. A bri lige leading lirectly in:o the town will be more com- lions and edvantageous tothe publie or both sides of the river thana bridge balf a mile fartberup, Probably twice as many foot pessengere will take advantage of the bridge if ut be brovgihi directly juto the town asifitend at Kensington. A larger number of carriages may also be counted The these the receipts wil] upon, difference in from two reach a eources cousiderable cmourt exery year, It is stated that there is lees mud and a better bottom in the ‘river between the town and Soutbport than between Kensing« As the is little if any greater, and as the two Gov- ton and Mutch’s Pornt. distance ernments already own the property on the town side, a considerable amount for land damages may be saved, while the cost of the bridge will not be greater,— if the struc- ture be placed as we propose. But it may be raid that a bridge op~ posite thetown will be an obstruction to navigation. In reply to this objection it may be said that practically no large vesse's gofurtber up the than =the Whether Opposite the town river railway wharf. or opposite Kensington, provision must necessarily be made for the parsage of the bridge by schouners and otber craft. As to the danger of damage to the bridge -on ot thumping against itihere will, practical ly, be little difference ; for no Captain who small account vesrels has bis veese! uuder control will crash into the bridge, and the vessel which is pot under control will just as likely strike it if it be at Kensington as if it be opx posite the city. There will, of course, be , a difficvliy as to the atntion; but the station must, ere long, be brought farther If the land at Kensington wiil co+t be ex~« weet in avy case, ihe amount which peaded on the purchase of land for a railway station opposite the Hotel Davies or Some? point sti'l further west, tae d.ffer~ ence of cost will not be very much greater, and the Charlottetown terminus of the P. I Island railway will beas nearly pertect as it is poesible to make it. We commend this sugzestion to the consideration of Sir Louis Davies (whose consifiuents are deep'y interested) and those who wiil practically determine the location of the bri ige. If the bridge cap be placed between the town and Southport, the people will not thank those who may be responsible for placing it between Kea- sington and Mutch’s shore. __oa N.S.,) despateb reporte ; ily Siates; the exodus afairway to beat any This state of thiugs is —A Windeor, ( United all over the This is not in accord with the mouth of the Gov- rnor General, that the exodus has ceared.
