Little Rock is city. It has mayor and T town council--and nothing more is requi- site to the making it a city. A year ago we commenced war of extermnation against the filth and rubbish which fills our streets. Our pen might as well have lain idle, for the filth and rubbish have lain there still. It collects i'll our streets, and there 1t Is likely to collect, ad minimum. There is one street through which we never venture to walk at night, except in one particular course, cir cumgyratory, winding and serpentinc track. If we deviate from 1t, 1t is at the instant and imminent risk of breaking our Editorial neck. We pass down 1t in fear and trembling steering our way as we best may through piles of rubbish, brick bats and shayings-- and when we get to the end, always thank heaven that we have day longer to live.
 How long will these things last How long ere our worthy mayor and our portly and ponderous aldermen-good men and true all of them-will awake, and taking off their night-caps and rubbing their eyes, will take into serious consideration the estate of the streets" 1.-the great comet, now soon to make his appearance, will just switch the end of his tail through our rubbish recepta- nles-otherwise called streets--aad sweep the gatherings of many years into that memo rial of patriotic enthusiasm, called canal, 1t will perform an invaluable service to our corporation, and enable them to slumber on in quiet torpidity the remainder oftheir term of service.

countenance, personal appearance, and de- portment of an individual so circumstance ed, are calculated to make, served to deep en the interest which pervaded the whole scene. An affectionate brother was at his side. But the most striking moral specta- cle which we ever witnessed-which we ever expect to witness--was the entry of the venerable Judge Buchanan into the Court-a place, where for more than thirty years. we have been in the constant habit of seeing him approach only for the Pur- pose of presiding in chief.
 aHe was conducted into Court, and to a seat, by Roger B. Fancy of Baltimore city, and Joseph l. Merick of Washington county, who bad volunteered their services as counsel in the case, as did also Rever- dy Johnson and Thomas s. Alexander, Esqs."
 The testimony having been closed, the Prosecutor arose;
 "GentIemen of the Jury, you have beard with due attention, the whole of the eyi- dence we have in this case. It is commit ted to your decision without argument on either side, in full assurance that justice will be done by your verdict
 The Court--94Sherif call Bailiff."
 Several Jurymen--"No Bailif is requir- ed"
 "The jury being called over and asked for their verdict, Nor GUILTY ? was in- stantly pronounced. The spontaneous burst of feeling which even the grave au- thority of the Court could not suppress, told how much it was in accordance with the judgement of those who heard"

There has been a great glorifcation be- cause Rhode Island is supposed to have gone for Van Buren. Well, suppose 1t has. The Van Buren leaders in that State, as Dutee and others, were all good staunch Federal ists. Good allies for Van Buren, But 'tis not so certain. H. r. Cranstou, a WHIe, is elected Speaker of the House by a majority of three votes. This means something.

4 long controversy has been, and still is, carried on in the Baltimore papers, concern ing the Bank of Maryland, between Poulte- ney, Glenn, and others. After reading, with unexampled patience, multitude of long do- cuments anent it, we have come to the con- clusion that there are more rogues than one in the matter.

Mrs. Fanny Kemble Buffers Journal has been published, and wofully maltreated by the corps editorial in this country and En- gland. We have seen abundant extracts from it, which shew her to be inelegant and pnredned, (to use her own words) or putgar, ito use our own,) Ali this must suit badly with Mr. Pierce Butler's stomach.

LATER FROM EUROPE.

The ship St. Andrew, at New York, brings Cork papers to the evening of the 7th April, containing London dates to the evening of the 4th. The Evening Edition of the Journal of Commerce supplies tho following items of news:
 These papers bring intelligence ofa sig. nal defeat of the British Ministry on the question of the Irish Church. On the 3lst of March, Lord John Russell brought for. ward motion that the House go into com. mittee to consider the propriety of appropr. ating any church property surplus that may result, to the purpose of education in Ire. land, without reference to religious distinc. tions. This motion was warmly opposed by the ministerial party, and the discussion thereon continued until o'clock on the morning of April Sd, when the question was taken and decided as follows:

There seems now to be doubt whether the French Chamber of Deputies will pass the indemnity bill. At the last dates, the Committee appointed for that purpose, had reported favorably on it, and 1t was under discussion. M, Bignon had offered an amendment, reducing the amount to be ap- proprated, from 9 to l2 millions of francs. The amendment was favorably received by the Chambers, and should 1t be adopted, there must be war, Ifthere is, we owe t to the Message of the President--but more to the letters of Mr. Livingston, which have been published and received in France. 4 war, because we have sent two bungling diploma lists to France, would be very consoling,

U. S. Dragons. A letter received this morning from Camp des Moines, one of the posts occupied by the dragoons, informs us of the contemplated movements of ;he regi- ment to the Sioux Village and Racoon Fork O: the Des Moines River, as soon as the grass shall be deemed of sufficient growth to supply the horses with provender. Also, of the enlistment of nearly a hundred recruits to fll up the three companies sta- toned at this post. The same letter con-
 firms the report of the death of Dr. Hales, which we contradicted some time since by the same authority and it further adds that Captain Duncan, and Lieutenants Ham, ilton, Wheelock, Swords, Moore, and Lup- ton, have been arrested and sent to Jeffer- son Barracks for triel; but does not state the cause of their arrest. Nothing more of interest is contained in the letter. We had hoped that before this, this useless and dis satisfied regiment would have been dis banded, but from present operations there can be no hope of that kind entertained now.-.N r. iStar.

The New Orleans Bee contains the par ticulars of the plan of revolt in Mexico, under Colonel Alvarez, (wbo is said to be very popular in the southern districts of the Mexican republic in conjunction with Go- meg Farias, the late Vice Presdent.- They have five or six thousand men under their command-the head quarters of AL yarez being at Tesea, and those of Farias at Zacatecas. Pedraza, formerly esteemed for his presidency, and General Bravo are expected to aid the insurgents. If these cooperate with chiefs so popular and eff cient as the former two, Santa Anna and Bauagan may find it difficult or impossible to oppose them successfully. The contest may therefore be long and bloody.

Mr. PIKE---Permit us through the medi- um of the Advocate, to request our fellow citizen CHARLES P. BERTRAND, to permit his name to be used as candidate for the House of Representatives, at the ensuing August election. Mr. Bertrand's long residence in the country, his talents, and uniform honesty and industry, point to him as one eminently qualified to represent us in the councils of the Territory. and furthermore, he is one of those who has ev- CT shewn himself the friend of the People, aGd an uncompronising enemy to power and pafty-no mean recommendations in these corrupt times.
