THE STREETS.
To the Editor of the Globe,
Sib, —The weather promises very unfavorably for the opening of the Exbibitiou on Monday next. Bud weather on that day would bo very unfortunate, but as nothing is altogether bad, perhaps if it rains heavily on Sunday night one useful result may be obtained; for it is quite certain that, if the citizens of Ohristehuroh have to wade in procession through the slush which has been accumulating in the streets for months past, their howl of execration against the Oily Council in general, and the works committed in particular, must cause a sudden flourish ot brooms which will be far more appreciated than the flourish of trumpets that has been going on this long time past. In the meantime, would it be presumptuous on my part to ask the works committee in a suitable uniform and the sanitary committee armed with the peculiar cymbals of their office to head a band of scavengers in the van of the procession on Monday next ? Yours, &!., MUDLARK.
