Saturday's Illustrated Whig will] also contain a full page map of the City of Kingston, with all the streets clearly and accurately named. This is something the need of which has been felt for a long time in the city. Hitherto it has been impossible for any one to purchase a map larger than a few inches square, so that the Whig"s full page map on Saturday will douptless be received with much approval. The only way the map can be obtained is by purchasing Saturday's paper. This map ought to prove especially useful to officers and soldieys at Bar- riefield camp. These men, who for the most part are strangers to Kings- ton, lave some difficulty in finding their way about. To them this map will be a most satisfactory and ser- viceable guide.
