A New PRoJEcT,--We learn from the best
authority, that ne y project is ahoat, TO be put
in course of execution when il becomes apparent
that the committee cannot succeed in procuring
subsc -picns to the requisite amount OF stock for
rebuilding the ST. Charles Hotel. As affairs APP
pear now, il seems as though the property hod>
ers Interested have become stricken with mental
blindness, by which they are prevented from see
ing clearly their own interests. They may die
cover, when it is too late, that they have by their
tardiness ieopardized the value of their own prop
eHy, and assisted to enhance that OF others, when
by little eKertion they might have retained the
advantages that for so many years they have en-
joyed through the proximity OF the ). Charles.
The new project to which we aIlude will not
require, to hasten to its consummaiion, the ex-
penditure Of persuAsions, which in the case ofthe
st. Charles seems to have been useless. Our
fellow citizen, Glendy Burke, Esq, and three or
four gentlemen Of equal resources, propose TO
build, on the old State House square, splendid
hotel, surprising in size and magniicence. any
otheg in the United States. 1t is to be 304 feet
front on Canal street, 1873 on Phlppa. and the
same on Baronne street. The enterprise will
certainly be commenced in ten days. unless the
stock for rebuilding the ST. Charlos be subscribed
before that time.--N 0 Picdyune.
