the Wing deficiency. Mir GoUlburn has been re- |
preached tor two things,-ior failing, because only
three millions and half have been subscribed; ana
for adding to the debt. Both TeprOaches seem ra-
Their imaginary: his success is comparatively GREAT
for his predecessor had tender for one project OF
the Kind on his own terms, and there is no doubt |
