" You Parisian% who, from the coffee-houses or your sal oons, where yon sit at your ease, and at your pleasure, regulate the fate of Europe, and discourse at random upon every event, you endeavour, I am sure, to divine the plans of his Majesty the Emperor.

The Learned Gentleman stated, that he founded his present application to the Court on the 14th of the King, better known by tht name of the 44 Building Act;" an Act of the greatest utility, net only for protecting houses from the effects of any fire that might take place in the neighbourhood, by means of good party-walls, but also useful for the purpose of promoting a symmetry in the appearance of our streets and buildings.

He 'was a great amateur in . fires and conflagrations; indeed, so much so, that be has been known to have arisen froth his bed in the night very frequently, on hear ing of a fire, for the purpose of going to see k ! He once said in my hearing. 6 , Aft there are no goodfires ) now, fir !hie confounded itariy-walls &event them Such was Mr. Serjeant Whittaker's eulogy on the Act, and it speaks volumes. The Learned Gentle , man thin went on to detail the clauses of this' so t much-eulogized Act, as well as those circumstances which had led to the present application. The Act set forth how far the. proprietor or owner of a house i might trespais on the street, or how far he might affect the senor:ll symmetry of the surrounding or neighbouring buildings. Mr. Soane, of Lincoln's inn-fields, t 4.4 ih the estimation of Mr. Wm.
