PUBLIC Work CoNrRAcTs.-An underta-
ker on the Whitewater canal basin, in our city.
absconded the other day, largely indebted to
the laborers employed in the work. . 1t is as
sumed that the laborers, being employed by
the undertaken, must look TO him for their COM
pensation; that between them and the owners
of the canal or basin, there is no contract.
say this is assumed--and know the assump-
t,on is oflong standing. But Notwithstanding,
take leave to demur against its correctness.
There is no principle for this assumption.
Those for whom work is actually performed,
should be held liableto pay for it. They should
not be permitted to thrust in sub-contractors.
And, with due submission to the precedent Of
.ong assumption, l should say that an appeal
should be made to the courts of law against
it. 91 Sfs M s,,llagssf ,ag,7r 5.ta4sg
Do the employers take bond, with security
of sub-contractofs? Ifthey do, to what ,ex,
tent and for whose security are such bonds ta-
ken, when money is paid out, due to other peo-
pie, ought not the Company to be held ac-

On Sunday week, Father Troy announced to the

lie Church, that the Governor, during the past
week, acting under instruction received from Lord
Gleneg, had coded to him, on the pat Of Doctor
Fleming, parcel Of ground east Of Fort Town
shend, Intended by that un,iring preale as q site
for the erection Of cathedral episcopA residence,
a convent and public school, and . cemetery.
The lot contained about eleven aero. Father
Troy requested his congregation to atend, each
with portion Of materials, for forming a fence
around tho ground il question, on the following
Thursday. In compliance with the reversed
9entleman's wishes Thursday ushere, in q most
animating scene. Never did religiosszeal mas
