Oar Gown.

We are pleased to see the interest tltcn by Tie
Corporation, and our citizens generally, in the
improvement of our streets, sidewalks, &c
A large number of shade trees have been trans
planted within the last few weeks, and all the
principal streets are now mcasurlbIy supplied
with them. The locust has been chiefly used
yet some have preferred the maple, and other for
est trees. The grading Of several streets has
been completed, and we unlcrstlnd, operations
will be resumed on the other streets in short
time.
BY reference to another column it will be seen
that the Corporation has passed an ordinance rcIa
tive to the cleanliness of our streets, and the
health of the place. The deposit Of manure an,
other filth in front of stables on public streets
has long been an evil, and we hope the proPc
authorities will now be successful in eradlcatins
it. The health Of our town, and the cleanIiacs
of our streets demands it, to say nothing OF the
character and go0d tate of our citizens.

submitted resolution, asking the prcsi-

the correspondence ihai may have taken
place between this government and Mcxi-
co, not previously communicated. After
some debate the resolution was laid over.
Mr.. Prestons resolution in relation TO
loan was next taken up, and Mr.. Linn
offered substitute, which gave rise TO n
discussion that was cut short only by an
adjournment
| H0uSe-Five hours were this day &C.
cupied in committee of the whole on the
loan bill, by Mcssrs. Gentry, Rayner,
and Lane, whose speeches were dsiln-
guished for nothing but bitterness of in
veciiye against the president and his par
tv. Of course no business was done.
