Is it at limit that the Town Council have resolved to
repair the Pile-pier? Type, life, and column. an too
valuable to follow the talk through which they pewwl
to this decision, and, before congratulating them co
their firmness, I shall wait till the neosmaiy work k
done.

Chesterfield-place at. being accompliehei, the
Conseil say to their wet on that account Nem ase.

Hawking vegetables brings its oonvenienoss to the
home, although it may be a nuisance to over-worked
or languid Sarah Ann. If that young lady has to
" answer the doer " • dosen tixnes when there is work
to be done, she may naturally get wild; but let Sarah
Ann be " kept about for dinner" became the
vegetables and fruit are not come from the stall, and
she 'll find fault with • worthy aldermen for abolish-
ing hawking. The Market Home was the great
blunder of • tyrannous but slender majority, and can-
not be bolstered up by violent maim; but as the
population Mormon, and the &Mils of its working are
mastered, it will become le m a source of km.

The first spurt of the potato* traffic haa, I ander-
see..td, alaskened, and the traffic of 18711, though
begun earlier, has so far totaled lees than that of last
year. This should be a warning to the Council not to
espen, too lavishly on preparations for tragic which
may fail, and leave them with capital expended, sad
only use less appliances to 'how for their money.

I hays no doubt the Cherbourg steamier trail& will
start with • grand rush and 4thit, and beyond question
the experh.lent must be tried if anything is to be
hoped for. " Nothing venture, nothing have;" but our
Corporetton's prudence will remind them the French
Enhilitlon must come to an and, and with it •
stimulus to the French tridlic. It was wise of as
directors to go to St. Maio, for, while Cherbourg is the
place from whence they may expect passengers, they
must look to St. Maio for merchandiset if the traffic is
permanently to pay. Cherbourg malt IA ocarumiag
port, and mu have but little produce, if any, to spin
while Bt. ILdo is well eituated for the collection
shipping of en rplas goods.

While we arc talking of goods and produce, those
who hug themselves in the idea that they are the
upper crust should remember they we depsodnet oa
the merchant for their table suppties. People who
affect to edspies commerce should grow their own
potatoes and hunt their own game, if they are men
enough; but drWsed communities could not get on
without merchants, who are often so kindly that they
are real kings of heart* In Weymouth " " are
trumps, not " clubs "—ass last lilection. As to the
" Reverends," the book by which alone they gain the
