FIXING Ur.--We are glad to observe that
the Street Committee Of the Portsmouth City
Council are not unmindful of the comfort OF
the people of that "burg." Since the good
weather has prevailed, we have observed in
various portions of the city laborers eng aged
in putting the thoroughlares in order, and
yesterday we noticed that operations had
been commenced on Queen street, between
Dinwidde and Washington streets. We
presume the work of renovation will be ex-
tended to other partitions of that canalic high
way, and, perhaps, to that portion Of King,
between Washington and Green, or to tina t
part Of Green, between High and King.

PROGRESSING The work Of reconstruct
ing "Plank Bridge" Portsmouth, in a dill
iarent style, that is, removing the wood for
a solid earthen highway, is progressing, not
briskly or brayey, but steady and sure, like
the persevering and intrepid tread Of a mule
towards peck o! oats. We must protest ),
IN this connection, against the careIessness
displayed in leaving those ugly C, acks in the
present structure open at night, with only
plank across them. We nearly broke leg
!; night or two since, while attempting to
cross in the darkness, which is doubly dark
IN Portsmouth, owing to the absence of any
thing like lighted lamp in it's streets.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER. THE delightful
weather of the past few days has inspired ey.
erything with activity and filled each heart
with feelings joyous and emotions grateful.
No autumnal season, not even the charming
Indian Summer, was ever brighter, calmer,
or more beautiful, and our fair and unriv al
led townswomen, we'll knowing the tickleness
and Inconsistency of that most singular and
erratic myth-the Clerk of the Weather
have commercially obeyed the Scriptura
injunction to "redeem the time and their
graceful and lovely forms and smiling cheer
tul countenances have been merrily prone
nading the streets, everywhere gladdening
the hearts of the sterner sex. But we are
panied to think that, like all that's lovely
and radiant in earth, it is "too bright to
last" The wintry winds will blow again
and the chill, gloomy, rainy weather again
visit us; and yet we know that vernal flow
eFs will soon be in glad blooming, and gentle
Spring zephyrs will ere long play with the
foliage of the forest trees and the waving
Leaflets of balmy and luxuriant floral groves,
all vocal with the melody of the Joyous birds.
SOME PoRK.-Passing through the marx ct
in Portsmouth this morning, we observed an
unusually large quantity of pork and poul-
try, among the former were two immense
hogs, one weighing nine and the other over
seven hundred pounds. These fine specimen.
of swinedom were raised on the "Greepridga
Farm Norfolk county, by Geo. A. Wilson,
Esq. They are sogs. worth seeing.
