CLEARING,THE FOOTPATHS.—T. G. complains that while
the inhabitants of the town are required by a 'bye-law to
clear the footwalks opposite their houses, particularly after
a fall of snow, and while too, a large sum is annually levied
for scavenging, the public thoroughfares where there are no
houses, have not, during the frost, been cleared of snow,
and rendered safely passable. He instances the whole
length of the footwalk on the east side of the east wall of
Prince's Dock, and indeed the whole line of walk from the
bottom of Chapel-street to the Clarence Dock have been
left without cleansing by the police or proper authorities ;
that they have been in a very dangerous state; and that
delay in the transaction of business, and some serious falls,
threatening limb and even life, have been the consequence.
He thinks that if it be .not the duty of the police to do the
needful, it would be well, at such a season, to employ a
number of the destitute poor at moderate wages in the re.

FRIDAY

MORNING, JANUARY 15, 1841

We have been favoured with extracts frOm a private
letter, dated Monte Video, October 28. It appears
that the steamer from Buenos Ayres had arrived on

the day previous, bringing 220 passengers and accounts
that the conferences between Admiral Mackau and
Rosas had terminated on the 25tk of October, when
the admiral presented an ultimatum which was to be
replied to on the 28th, so that certain accounts migh
be expected, in a day or two, whether there would bet

peace or war. Up to the date received nothing was
known as to what had been proposed

There were no

preparations made among the French vessels of war,
of which 18 •were lying at Minte Video. It was
therefore concluded that peace was to be made if pos-
sible. The next' accounts will probably announce the
final adjustment of the affairs of Beunos Ayres.
According to the last advises from Buenos Ayres no
man was safe there that possessed any money, when a

want fcr it was felt. It was no uncommon thing to
see in the morning a dozen dead bodies, with their
throats cut, thrown into the public ground.

In our publication of last Friday we intimated the

probability that a considerable increase of taxation
must shortly be submitted to; and, at the same time,

expressed our firm conviction that, even whilst impos-

in; new burdens, it was in the power of a wise govern-

ment to make such modifications of our existing sys-
tem of taxation as would give a material impetus to
the manufacturing and commercial industry of the
