CoNcERT.-We learn that Mr.. WILLIAMSON,
and MIR. and Mrs. GREENE, assisted by Mr.. SHAW.
will on Friday evening next, give . Concert at
Franklin-Hall. Encouraged by the success that
attended their late effort to please a Providence au-
dience, they are emboldened to make a second at
tempt, and we hope that they will have the satis-
faction ofindiug their efforts accepted by the COM
munity, and that a full audience will give them
satisfactory assurance that their talents and exer-
tions are properly appreciated.
Mr.. Williamson, and Mr.. and Mrs. Greene,
have always sustained unimpeachable regulations
as vocalists, as dramatists. aud as members Of private
society, and it is trusted that they will be properly
encouraged by the lovers of Musical Science.

JON STREET GHosT.-It was on a warm and
ladies, after the clock had thrice struck three, re-
paired to a pool adjacent to the neishbourhood to
amuse themselves with the CLASSY waves of the lin
pid lake. They had not frolicked long on the
bosom of the " moon-refected Sheet" when to their
utter amszement, a huge, unearthly form, clad in
the habiliments Of the grave, approached them
with slow and steady strides. Julia turned pale
Maria hung firmly on the arm of her sister, and
nary, whose soft blue eye often spoke Loves ST.
lent language, trembled and told her rosary, as the
tenant Of the tomb, with haggard aspect. glared his
sunken eye upon her lovely form. But Reheccs
(not Rebecea the Jewess) undaunted at the appear
ance ofthe pale-visaged goblin, exclaimed in the
words of Hamlet, "I1l cross it though it blast me-"
and deliberately walking up to the sheeted inhabit-
ant of the sepulchre, bestowed upon his whitened
form the contents Of a WATERFALL, which acting a.
a restorative, transformed the man of clay into the
shape of one Of the real mortals of this breathing
world and satisfied his Ghostship, that it is some
times imprudent for the dull dead matter Of the
tomb, to leave its dread abode, or to come in con-
tact with a fearless and ~virtuous inhabitant Of thi,
world OF real matter.
The fair ones, delighted with their adventure, re-
sumed their sports on the CLASSY bosom Of the lake,
whilst the gentleman Of the winding sheet retired
to his domicil, perfectly cured of his desire to
frighten the beauties of John. Street.

MR.. GAILATIN.

1t seems that no act Of the administra.
ton can suit the wishes of the opposition
faction, and some Of those prints which
lauded Mr.. GALLATIN to the skies, when q
candidate for the Weep ,sidency, are now
venting bitter denunciations against him
because he has accepted of the Ministry to
the Court of st. James.
The ghost of the West Pennsylvania In
surrection is again drawn from its narrow
tabernacle of clay, and presented to the
vision of the American people, with all its
hideous looks and deformities. The OPP
position presses, "big with the fate ofCa-
to and Of Rome," are astonished that Mr..
GALLATIN should have accepted of an ap-
pointment from Mr.. ADAMS, and denounce
him as having entered a coalition with
the President to subvert the Liberties of the
people! This appointment, in our poor
opinion, is a j~udicious one, and of right,
ought to have the appreciation of the peo-
pie.
Mr.. GALLATIN, as a diplomatist, has but
few superiors, and his long experience at
foreign Courts, admirably qualities him for
the fulflment Of the duties ofthe ministry
at st. James. Though not a native born
citizen Of the United States, he is entitled
to the good feelings and good Offices of
the American public, as he has for nearly
fifty years been busily and devotedly en-
gagged in promoting the best interests of
the nation, and has committed as few errors
as any public man that has figured in the
American service since the days of WASH
INoToN.
As to his connexion with the West Penn
sylvania rebellionists, it was an affair rather
of feeling than of principle, and about
which there was a diversity Of opinion. It
is probable he was in error in taking the
part he assumed, but as the acts of those
days are buried in forgetfulness, and as no
good could possibly be derived from their
resuscitation, we see no good reason for
their being called up.
In the many important trusts committed
to the charge of Mr.. GALLATIN, he has
proven himself honest, capable, and true
to the Constitution, and worthy Of the con-
hdence Of his country. 1t is not believed
that he has 1T this late hour committed
aught to Withdraw from him the patronage
of the American people. On alate Occs-

At the age Of twenty-five, he was the most popu-

force himself into the Executive Chair, before il
was vacated and in suffering his passions to lead
his reason astray, he has fallen, morally and
politically and presents a living monument Of q
man, who, disrcgardins all the advantages o.

cidal rashness, cut of all the hopes of life, and sui.

lMPRovEMENTs.-The incre asing prosperity Of
the town OF Providence, is amply evinced in the
erection Of stores, warehouses and public edifces
which are to be seen daily rearing their heads in the
different sections Of the town. Our enterprising cit-
liens seem not disposed to halt in the work ofim-
provement, and are daily and hourly engaged in
conceiving and carrying into execution, public pro.
jects and Improvements which cannot fail to adj
vance the best interests Of the people.
The Dorrance-Street Company, an association
Of capitalists, who some years since invested cousid-
cradle funds in what was then called the Muddy
Dock Folly, are making an effort to bring their vast
estates into the market and with this view, they
have commenced building a block of stores on their
wharf, which, when completed, will be three hum
dred and fifty feet long, forty feet wide, and three
stories high. This building will probably be sec
ond to none in the country, il we except that on
Central Wharf, Boston, and will add much to the
wealth and Importance of the section of the town
in which it is 10 be located. When tho formation
Of the Dorrance street estates was projected, the un-
ical and those who thought they could behold the
downfall Of the town, sasely conjectured it was
retrogadins in its marches, ventured to predict that
those who were engaged In the work, would close
their scheme with absolute bankruptcy.
But time has fully proven the error Of these pre-
dic.ions, and shown that the adventures were not
destitute of human foresight and correct calcu!a-
uoD. we are inIormeo oy u gentleman VINO once
held some of the Dorrance Street Stock but who UNI
wisely disposed of it at an improper time, that it has
appreciated in value since the year 1917, at the rate
of eleven per cent per annum, making in the asgre-
gate an actual increase Of 80 per cent. Offers, at
these rates, have been made, and refused by the
holders.
The rapid rise Of these estates, may be attributed
10 a variety of causes, but to none more properly
than the constant and active exertions ofthe Messrs.
Dyers, who, of late years, have been unremittiugly
employed in furthering the cause Of improvement;
aud probably have contributed more largely than
any others of our citizens, in adding to the wealth
and Importance of Providence.
They are entitled to success, and will undoubted-
ly meet with it, since every thing Justices belief
thut the day is not far distant, when in point Of
wealth, population and resources, we shall rank
with the first cities OF the continent. We certainly,
with others, feel the most pleasursble sensations, on
beholding the place of our nativity, the land Of our
fathers and remoter ancestors, thus marching On to
the goal Of greatness.
