CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE.
"Givis" is not surprised that the Canter-bury-Hall Company have lost money. "So long as it is impossible," he writes, -for on audience to hear an ordinary speech from the stage, or to follow the words uttered by those taking part in theatrical entertainments on that stage, so long will the hal remain more or less of a white elephant. He thinks the City Council will decline to buy the hall, even at cost price, unless the accou-tacs are remedied. Wm. Overend writes on the subject of the relations between Britain and America. If our farn-ers, he says, who take the trouble to find out the taxes America puts upon our produce, they would not be so ready to purchase American goods. Of American boots be writes: that I have been selling Colonial boots for 14 years, and wearing boots for nearly 70 years, I ought to be a judge. There are plenty of boots made in this colony a_ good as America can produce, and better.*', ; .
