STREET CLEANING WITH A VENGEANCE.-It NAV
be safely said, the streets have not been in such
horrid state of mud and filth for the last twenty

OF all street decency and convenience, but it has
subverted one OF the old landmarks and adages of

The present session OF Parliament, young as il is,
has been marked by more than ordinary attention
to ansaantic affairs. On the first night, the boun
dairy question brought the United States prominently
under discussion. In the lower house, Sir Robert
Peel delivered an important speech relative 10 the
misunderstanding between the cabinet of Washing
ton and his own, arising out OF the Fright of VISIT
question. Lord Brougham in the upper house, de-
livered a long and eloquent speech, in which the u
States figured consplcueusly. 1t will be memora-
bic IN after times, by his emphatic declaration in
allusion to the boundary line with this country
" Welcome Take it all Give it up, Give me
peace between America and England!" All this
the Acadia conveyed across the Atlantic. The
Great Western carries out two important debates
respecting Canada, and speech more immediately
referring to the United States and France, made by
Lord Brougham, in reply TO M. Dupin, in the Cham.
