We are glad to learn that the good people t* Charleston are doing iiiech for the improvement of their beautiful eitv,and for the mine supply of Southerners with all they iicil for their eomfoiL The City Council we observe, has lately appropriated $ 10,000 for a hall of exhibition of the. South-Carolina Institute, and an additional sum of $15, D00 as a loan for the same purpose. These amounts, together with $10,000 previously granted by the State, are thought enough to complete the excellent design. A friend who has recently returned from that hospitable city s|N>aks in w arm commendation of the fine architecture of the Charleston Hotel, the Central Church, and the splendid store lately erected by Brow n ing & I/em:m ,.om the designs of Mr. E. C Jones, n native artist. Those edifices display a high f rdcr of talent in tlioir construction as well as in their harmonious proportions. They are built in the Palladia!) style, and are admirably adapted to modern uses, without dh.turbing the architectural unity upon which their gracefulness so much depends. The store of .Messrs Browning Lcmnn is probably the most beautiful na well ns most extensive establishment in the world. Our readers may be surprised by the breadth of this language, but, as our informer is a man of taste, and has had an opjs?rtunity to see, at least, the grand magazine of Stewart in Now York, we doubt not lie is within proper limits while describing the Charleston establishment. ....y.lu.'./gV rnn1 lite1 ttrdeVsltd * arra'ngenieh t of the interior surpass anything in New York or lauidon. Extensive rows of lofty columns lead the eye along the lower floor, from which it ranges upward around the graceful galleries of three stories until it reaches the dome-like roof, whence a flood of mellow light displays at a glance the gorgeous contents of the leizaar. At the end of the 'ower floor a stairway leads to tin c irpetingdcpnrtmci t where the 'o ig lines of brilliant tapestry are hung through the ilirec stories, and afford n dazzling lockground for tin* pure white of other portions i>f the odit'ee. The effect of the grand staircase, with the arched entrance to the saloon beyond, is described as extremely noble. VVc understand that beneath the roof of this splendid magazine the enterprising owners have concentrated every thing of luxury or necessity that may he required by the notable housew ives of the South. We were not prepared,?and we confess it candidly, to hear that Charleston |M>s*oascd not only ik rival hut a conqueror of Stewart.
