Mrs. R1ToH1E (late ANNA CORA MowATr, whose
recent private theatricals in Rome and Florence
have been produced with 30 much eclat), has
found time, since the publication of "Fairy Fin
gers," to prepare another charming novel, which
MIR. CARLETON will publish next week, under the
title of "The Mute Singer"
The same publisher will issue next week "The
origin and progress of Fenianism, authorized and
revised by the great "Head Centre" himself who
furnishes, among other curious material, de-
scripton OF his miraculous escape from the iron
bars OF John Bulls strongest hold.
RECoNsTRUCTIoN.-Among the many topics we
are called on to discuss, none give us greater
pleasure than those relating to the improvement
of our city. The many ruins of charred brick and
solitary chimneys are q constant eye-sore. We
frequently feel incl'ed to chide the tardy Phoenix
for rising 30 slowly from the ashes. An effort is
made now and then,-here goes up q house, store
there, and shanty round the corner. There has
been very little concert oftaction, however. 1t
may be that in this one ia to blame; the search

At the last Quarterly meeting OF the Chamber of
Commerce, GEORGE A. TRENHOLM, Esq., one of our
most ppblic.spirited citizens, spoke of the impor-
tapce OF this subject, and IL we mistake not, at
vocated consultation with City Council in refer
.ence TO 1t. We have heard nothing of it since
The Palais R, yal block apd gardens appear to
know. The Burnt District" is, however, getting
gradually cleared, the walls are being taken down
the bricks cleaned and removed, and the rubbish
carted off, There will be clean field therefore,
upon which to operate, rs soon capital and en-
terprise shall form constructing parthership
We hope the summer months will notbe permitted
to pass by unimproved
How different has been the fortune OF Richmondl
Abont nine hundred buildings were swept away
by the disastrous fire of the Sd OF April 1865 And
now We told ocdrcely trace can be seen OF
this vast waste, save only that the new part OF
the city tar surpasses it's former self in taste,
beauty and elegance. Why this great difference
In two Southern cities?
But to prove to our readers that we are not al
together asleep, VIZ muat tell them OF some of the
improvements now III progress in our immediate
vicinity. Hayne street is wide awake. The raw
ages OF last sumnIer's fire arc now heng repaired
