A SUGGESTION.
To the Editor of the UsitALD. • " ?ioiiS3 allow an old subscriber ilio usual indulgence. Sir, we h-ive first diss wharfjge i a .Vuck'aud, but one thing is brully needed, aud that is a. board to indicate where soiling craft are lying, Suppose two large boards were placed one at Queenstreet wharf near tho toll house and another at the ti:'itier side, j.c-t the heading be a liat of vessels lying heie, and let each mate or aptain of craft < halk down the name and rig of his craft, also his own nam?. This is a very simple aff'a.r, and would save much loss of timo and inconvenience, and be a boon to the public, and when a vessel wa« cleared for sailing Jet the mate or capt-jin go and chalk the name off. This would facilitate business, aad cargo bejbrought by daylight instead of at. knocking- ; oir'tifeo,"causing the poor sailors to irrowl at their haraTatc in vorki.-.g over hour?.—l am, &e., . : - : >7.'-^Tr^v
