CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Extension Of FayeHe Grand Haprope
ment The opening and extension of Fayette
street, from Gay to Pitt streets-a desi On long
entertained by a number of ctizens-is, we
| learn, about TO be seriously urged upon the
City Councils, and VIC trust not without sue
cess, as we think the improvement ca He'd for
from various considerations. AS at present,
Fayettc street extends from Gay to the ex-
treme west end; while Pitt street, in an almost
direct line, extends from Jones Falls to the ex-
IRENE East end of the city, the intervening
space from Gay street to the Falls in the very
| heart of the city, being blocked up. BY the re-
moval of this obstruction, and the erection Of a
bridge across the Falls, we should have Il most
beautiful and extended thoroughfare, running
parallel with Baltimore street the whole length
/ of the city, and aflording much nearer pass
age than at present, TO and from many of the
public buildings OF the city, such as the City
! Hail, Public High School, Odd Fellows and
| Masonic Halls, Court House, Law Buildings,
City Hotel, and other public buildings, to say
nothing OF the many Churches situate OH Fay
cite ST., the members of the congregations of
which residing in Old Town, having at present
to come round either by Baltimore st. or Gay
st. bridges, an Inconvenience of TO little mo-
ment during the Indictment seasons Of the year.
The citizens of the "west endn will also find
this Improvement highly convenient in their
promenades 10 the Eastern section of the city,
especially to Paramount, whence many resort
during the summer evenings for recreation, to
say nothing of the hundreds whose business
continually calls them to and fro in that drec-
ton at all seasons of the year. 1t would also
increase the value of property bordering on the
street, as in all probability many stores would
! be opened, and business, to 10 small amount,
/ transacted thus adding to the capital and trade
! of the city, while at the same time it would
give it more neat and handsome appearance
in many respects. 1t is estimated that The cost
of opening and extending it to Pitt ST., will not
exceed S25, 900, exclusive of the charge for the
erection of bridge across the Falls, (Which
can be done for about $1,000 and repaving.-
This sum is significant when compared with
the many advantages likely to be attained.

Supposed .fhempt at Burglary Waterman
Wilcox, in going his rounds on Sunday night,
discovered a large hole i'll the wall of the
warehouse No. SO, Smiths wharf The hole
was large enough TO admit the body of man,
and was near the door. 1t is supposed that the
burglar or burglars were frightened by the ap-
proach of the Waterman, and made good their
retreat. The hole was properly secured by
the watchman.
