sheds, work to inteve«t the public anel populame tlie pkiee; and bo help it to grow of itself with the aid of an intelligent, lively official cncouragement. - But we doirt expeet this in conneetion with the Government buildings. Such a transformation from dull unvimted retreats of official ineapacity, to a delightful promenade and a great public convenience ; woukl be too mueh of a good thing. And yet it might take plaee, even without waitiDg for the completion of thc grand new Parliament 'House ; as we. smcerely believe that the whole of the Ministerial businees of this eountry eoukl be done in a corner room of the Hoiel; or any other small corner in this town. Are we sneeriug thoughtlessly and speaking without eauee? Great Kingdom! llow big a room woulel you want to accomplish all the Foreign Offiee diplomacy; solve all the Financial problems; and earry out all the Intcrior improvements and designs of the Government dtiring the pasfc half ycar ? What has been done is only the work of clerks; anel the competent clerks now engaged in the several departmehts r could eoniinue tlieir operatipn 3 with one Ministerial head ro give direction, But it may be supposed that we would rather have a corps of Ministerial Esceliencies, with whom to make a humbugging parade over some official, br supposed to be official or distinguishe(3 stranger ; but for all that all the (listinguished strangērs. and those who are not distinguishedj who are morc to our purposc, and we the people, would all of us mueh rather have ! a Market. j
