OUR STREETs.-The state of our streets is a
disgrace to the city and would call for censure
if they were situated in country village in
stead OF city of over thirty thousand inhabi
tants. The melting of the snow added to the
original layers of mud, has given soft pud-
ding-like appearance to the thoroughfares,
while the side streets are almost impassable.-
The cross walks are covered to the depth of a
foot at least. On Commercial street one en-
terprising firm has posted up a sign, Ferry
boat wanted here" and we hear that it is Sc
riously contemplated putting the Fl. Ii. Day
on the street 10 run from the Grand Trunk to
the P. S. s. P. depot. So glutinous is the soil
that several people have lost overshoes in get
ting from one pavement to another. One gen.
tleman has the audacity to request that we
should mention Gorham's Corner specially, as
if one spot was not as bad as the other, and the
only reason we crafty him is because of the
number of children that have been lost there
We hear that The main difficulty 10 regard to
the streets rests not with the Commissioner
but with the Street Committee.

lMroRTANTIE TRUE.-The New York
correspondent of the Boston Journal
describes new invention for displa-
cling steam by electricity, and says
that lathes, planning machines aud 9th
en- mechanical arrangements are driven
by this power To run an engine OF
twenty horse power by this invention
would require only a space of three
feet long, two feet wide and two. feet
high. The cost per day wonld be thir-
ty FIVE cents. On steamship no coal
would he required, aud space now used
for coal and machinery could be used
for cargo. The stubborn resistance OF
electricity TO mechanical use heretofore
has. it is believed, been overcome. A
continuous battery has been secured
aud other difficulties removed, princi
pally through the coll of the magnet.
II the invention works as well on the
large scale as it does on the machinery
to which it is now applied, steamships
Will soon ply the ocean under the new

capacity is being constructed, and will
soon be on exhibition in New York.

carry Cunarder to Liverpool, can be
