Editor Civilian.—Will you please inform your city readers why it is that, while we have a spacious comfortable court room erected at public charge and for the use of the public, we hold all our public meeting at the market-house ? A .-more comfortless place than the market-house of winter evenings can hardly be imagined. In a government like ours, meetings of the people to discuss matters of high public concern ought to be encouraged. In this city the night is the only practicable time for such meetings, and to stand up for hours on'thecold damp pavement of that cheerless market-place is an infliction to which weought not to be subjected. Many are denied the privilege of listening to the discussion of the vital question now agitating the country. Besides, no man can do himself, or the subject in hand, justice, while oppressed with the idea that his auditory are listening in discomfort. If there be a remedy, by suggesting it, you will be regarded as a public benefactor. Onb of the People.
