REDUCTION OF FARE TO NEW YoRK.-It has been
source Of great satisfaction to our citizens to
notice that Messrs. WILLIS & CH1soLM and RAVE
MEL Co., Agents for New York steamers, have
reduced the rate for carrying passengers to New
York, and the freight rates have also been some
what modified. Public opinion has for some time
past seen the necessity for this move, and those
having the direction OF these vessels have acted
wisely in meeting this sentiment by timely and
;, liberal concession During much OF the past sea-

facilities in their steam lines which we have been
deprived of, and we notice the present change with
the hope that hereafter the steamers forming the
lines to this point will be at least favor
able terms as these communicating with our
neighbors. This much 10 absolutely necessary to
the prosperity OF this city.

fine business education in the counting house o
Messrs. JOHN FRASER & Co., and 10 not unknown
in mercantile circles.
Mr.. CouRrENAY has had long, practical expe
rIence with various DrancneS OF Duelnesb. w
hope this young firm will be successful in all the
ventures, and in time take their place with th
4 merchant princes OF our city.
IMPRovEMERTs-We are pleased to see tho wor

Proof and the Court House, are all undergoin
thorough repair at this time. But what may pc
haps interest many Of our readers more is the Wig
rouB manner in which the City Hall Park has bee
put. to rights, within the last few days. This wi
once favorite resort on hot summer evening
and We have no doubt that in very short tin
its shaded walks will again be filed with 81
and fair promenadcrs interspersed, perhaps, vii

the 10th rio cannot walk by the side Of the ''Ir
perial duplex elliptic" within the narrow limi
