PUBLIC lMPRovEMENTs.-It gives us unfegl,-
cd pleasure TO announce, that the continuation Of
West Water Street was commenced last Monday,
under the auspices of that indetgable association
the Do' rance Street Company, and appearances in

the ensuing Spring. When finished. it will form

Weybosset Bridge to Eddy Street, yvl,s.o 4 meets
the Pawtuxet Turnpike, thus opening an avenue
for the transportation Of the products of the south
western counties, Immediately to the centre OF the
town, and essening the distance from Providence 10
Pawtuxet, nearly two miles. This undertaking is
looked upon as one Of immense importance. both

Whilst speaking Of public improvements, we
must not omit to mention, that the leveiiinS OF Fox

the shore, bordering what is called the seekonk
Channel also rapidly progress aud that the spirit
of Improvement seems TO be among those who have

Blackstone Canal is rapidly marching on towards
its comple,ion--and will, we think, be completed

We mourn thy wreck;-that mighty mind,
Did whrlwind passions whelm,
While wisdom wayered, half inclined
To quit the dangerous helm;
Thou vast an argosy of cost,
Equipped, enriched in vain,
Of Gods the work Of men the boast,
Glory thy port and doomed 10 gam
That splendid heaven, only to be lost
Lost, cen when Greece, with conquest blest,
Thy gallant bearing hailed
Then sighs from valor's mailed breast,
And tears Of beauty failed;
OH hadst thou in the battle died,
Triumphant cen in death,
The patriot as the poet,s-Pride,
While both Minervas twined thy wreath,
Then had Thy full career malice and late de-
fedl
What architect, with choice design,
OF Rome or Athens styled
Ere left monument like thlno'
And all from RUNS piled
A prouder motto marks thy stone
Than Archimcdes tomb;
Tic asked a fucruui-thou demandest nome
But-reckless Of past, present, and to COME
Did on myself depend to shake the worid-a-
