WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE COMMIT
rEE.-We have not very long mem
Dry Unless something is due us.and then
it is most astonishing fact that the
mindclings to i. Some time ago we re
collect that Committee was appointed
to select a site for a new Market
The City Council done this, and they
gave us to understand that something
more would be done. Our hopes
were raised, it seems only to relapse
again; but we have not forgotten the
debt. We hope the COMMITTEES have
not become frightened into silence,
because Of the opposition to the site
selected, and the i ference of opinion
engendered, as to the proper place
As said before-or as before said, the
credit of the prediction "that there
would be opposition" is due us. We
predicted it, and endeavoured to con
vince the Committee that il was inn
portant that they should exercise a
little Cromwell-like authority in the
matter. If they expect ITO satisfy all
opinions in reference to the matter and
select site that no objection can be
found to, it is perhaps needless to say
they will be woefully Disappointed
This difficulty is not only met with
here, but every where else. where man
is the selfish, one sided animal. he is.
Talk of building a hall or engine house,
or in the event Of a Railroad the best
site for The "Depot," and forthwith
great number of "d,s,ute,ested" in
dlviduals appear, to point out proper
location, which is generally done
with half an eye to the public interest
and the other eye and half directed
singly to pccuniary benefit.
The work Of enclosing the Capitol
grounds is now going forward, and an
iron railing Of beautiful design and
substantial workmanship will soon be
erected. Shall the stabiish" look
ing market house stand there, within
stones throw of that beautiful struc-
ture If SO. it is shameful disgrace
to the City, and reflection upon the
liberality TO themselvcs) citizens Of
this always generous community.
Gentlemen of the Council Commit
tee, If obstacles are offered to the site
selected on North Boulevard street,
and we cannot have the foot of "St.
Charles street adorned with it; there
are other places. The matter should
be settled. If our citizens all object
to its being placed any whore near
them, the right Of the Corporation in
the premises, should be settled.
If the batture along Convention st.
can be made frm. that il good place;
St. Phillip or st. Ferdinand would do.
Any central location will do, and if
the Council have no right to the street,
then let the public pay for a square, or
as many lots, as are necessary; but
let the matter be settled and the work
commenced. What say you gentle
men

No MoRE PLEASURE Excursions
1t will be remembered by many of
our ancient inhabitants, that years ago
we we're frequently visited by the
good people of Donaldson who in the
steamer Music or Streck, would come
up to the Capital on pleasure excur-
slons. On all such occasions, the fair
daughters of Ascension graced the oc-
casion, and Music enlivened the party.
In those days IT was customary to give
occasional Complimentary Balls" but
now the spirits of that day have died
away, or vanished into thin air. On
all such occasions. it was our pleasure
to meet the Jolly face, of one, VITO now,
alas, like the day Of his glory has pas
sed out of existence. Capt. +. NJ.
Streck is dead
The officers of The steamer MUSIC,
on learning the death Of Capt. + NJ.
STRECk, held a meeting on board
Of the boat, and passed the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to call from our midst our below
ed and kind commander, aud transfer
him to better and happier world
Aud whereas, we deem al expression
of our respect and affection for him pc
culiarly fitting and appropriate There
fore, be it
Resolved. That we, the officers of
this boat, who have so often expert
enced his kind and paternal affection,
while bowling to the will of a Supreme
Providence, do most sincerely sympa-
thize with his friends and family in
the irreparnble loss they have sustain
ed in the death Of him who to us was
SO warm friend and almost father.
Resolved, That we, the officers of
this boat, will wear mourning for the
space of thirty days, as token of our
respect for his memory
Resolved, That a copy of the fore.
going preamble and resolutions be sent
to the family of our lamented deceas-
ed commander.
