ALBANY, March 16.
Our present corporation by their patriotic conduct, are endeavouring to rescue our city from that odium, which has for so long a time been justly cast on the city of Albany, for its want of public spirit, enterprise and improvement. The sale of our water-lots will have one of the happiest effects. It will call individual industry into operation; and before the close of the ensuing season, we expect a spacious and commodious range of wharves in front of our whole city. The pavements are to be completed; the citizens of Pearl-street are already providing the materials; and if the pavement is judiciously constructed, this street will vie in beauty with the first streets in New-York or Philadelphia. The subscription for a College was 6000l. and altho' we failed in our application for the establishment of such an institution, yet the Corporation merit the thanks of their constituents for their liberality on the occasion. Lamps for lighting the city, are providing, and nearly in readiness; and there is a great prospect that before the close of the season our city will be amply supplied with choice water, by means of aqueducts.
