TIE PUBLlC SQUARE.

We are surprised at the comments made in several
of the papers of this city, upon lhe order OF the
vernon directing the gates Of the public square to be
closed after ten o'clock at right The circumstances
under which that order was made are these: The
State of Virginia at a cost of two hundred Thousand
dollars at least, has caused monument 10 Dc erect'
ed to the memory of Washington. With munihcent
liberaity she caused the monument to be placed on
tho Capi,ol Square, adding to the attractions OF the
Civ and identifying the Public Grounds, which,
while they belong to the State are yet an ornament
TO the city, and afford to the citizens place or recre
ZION and amusement Some evil disposed persons, in
the night time two occasions, have deliberately,
with large stones broken of the facings to several OF
