it immediate preference over its predecessors, if only for that genial fluency which passes at intervals with such delightful ease into the bumourout, as where it is said cf the Miser's porter, "the Formidable cer tainly predominated over , the Ridiculoes in Jacob's appearance." As illustrative of an age different from the present, alike in customs and costumes, the tale is clever in its incidental particularity—Deacle's enume ration of his mercery, "satinets, anterines, burdets, sagathees, and shalloons," and:the barber's catalogue of his wigs, " minor -bob, sunday-buckle, bob-major„ scratch, campaign and rameilies, ' being no less sug gestive of former habits in the metropolis, than the llusion made elsewhere to the fashionable coffee owes, to Tom's, Will's, White's, the British, the Cocoa-tree, the Smyrna, and the St. James's. In the levee at Beau Villiers', one of Hogarth's most en. tertaining pictures is reproduced—presenting to our I notice a crowd of important individuals, such as the perfumer, the jockey, the bully, the fencer, the racket player, and " last but not least," the tailor, M. Des martins. A description, in another part, is given of the famous Folly on the Thames--a description none the less entertaining because the nature of that place of amusement had long since been lost to popular re membrance, although flourishing when our great grandmothers woreired-heeled shoes, and beauty-spots, and pearl powder, and when they were carried in sedan chairs between the blackberry hedges in Ox ford-street to a dram in one of the high -squares (meaning cir c l es ) to be lighted home by links after whiling away the evening over trick-track and cho colate. Three renowned places of amusement at the middle of the last century are here depicted with much adroitness, being ren d e red the scenes of some of the most exciting incidents in the " Miser's Daughter"—Beau Cripps impersonating Beau Vil liers' in the gardens at Marylebone, the masquerade taking place in the gardens at Ranelagh, and the abduction being attempted in the gardens at Vaux hall. Whether the locality described, however, be Vauxhall, or Ranelagh, or Marylebone, the author represents them as little else than regions of enchant ment : whereas, even according to this rose-coloured retrospect, they each appear to have been little better than a sort of Beatified Tea Gardens. Mr. Cripps' method of borrowing, although highly de licious (B. 111. ' ch. vii.), " Forty, you shake your head, thirty, twenty, I'm obliged to come down like an auctioneer," has been infinitely surpassed by the consummate mendi cancy of Montague Tig g _e Ten shillings, five shillings, half-a-crown—why, then, we come to the ridiculously small amount of eighteen pence !" Nemartheless, Cripps retains at least the merit of being the precursor. Possibly the most obvious blemish in the novel, as infusing, into the otherwise natural current of the tale, an ex ceeding and trans parent improbability, i s the coincidence of the mutual tenderness for each other inspired between Hilda and Randal ph— a lth oug h, until the moment of their be trothal, they had been merely once alone together, once danced a minuet in profound silence at a masque. rade, and upon two other occasions met by accident in public elsewhere. Apart from this incongruity, however, the plot of the story is as agreeably credible as the diction is delightfully spontaneous. Before the " Miser's Daughter" had very far ad vanced in the Magazine, the indefatigable a u th or commenc©d in the July • number for 1842 of the same periodical, another historical romance, entitled Windsor Castle. As embell i s hments to the former work, Cruikshank contributed some of his most exquisite illustrations, while the artistic abilities engaged upon the latter were manifest in .the elaborate steel engravings of Tony Johannot s well as in ' the graphic wood- cu t s o f Alfred b --e -lamotte. Eventually, before the conclusion of " Windsor Castle, " J o h anno t was supplante d - Cruikahank —to whi c h circumstance we are by in debted for some o f it s most gracefnllimnig such, for instan ce , ns t h at portray ing the final scene in the " chroni c l es " w h ere the g un from the round tower announces to Henry . that the axe has fallen upon the neck of Anne Boleyn, the beautiful and unfortunate. Besides the august personages just mentioned, others are crowded into the narrative— each of them being very carefully and some very admirably discriminated, the romancist reveal ing in their regard a subtle apprecia tion of their idiocyncracies. Nevertheless the merits of the production are marred by its pervading extravagance. Interested at times in observing the intrigues of Wolsey and the sorrows of Catharine, amused repeatedly by the rival absurdities of Will Sommers; the King ' s Jester, and of Patch the jester of the Cardinal, entertained at one moment in following the footsteps of Sir Thomas Wyatt, and at another those of' the Earl of Surrey—the attention becomes more frequently distracted by mysteries which, after all, are in no one particular explained. The graces of Mabel and Geral dine, no less than the adventures of Fenwolf and Tristram, are forgotten in the repugnance felt towards the unaccountable and incomprehensible bug bear of the romance—Herne the Hunter. As spec tral as the Erl. King—he can do nothing without blue-fire any more than could that very respectable character the Ghost at Richardson's. " Windsor Castle," nevertheless, becomes redeemed to a certain importance—notwithstanding the will-o'the-wisp va garies of Marne—by depicting with astonishing mi nuteness the architectural arrangements of the most royal among the palaces of England. In Ainsworth's subsequent effusion, The Court of Saint James's, which made its appearance in 1844, not merely was the same exactitude displayed towards the town residence of the Sovereign, but in the course of the narrative there were happily intro duced the majority of the beauties, wits, and states men who rendered themselves notable during the reign of Atossa. The queen herself we behold, as it were, under the shelter at once of the bay of Pope and of the laurel of Marlborough. Neither the vices nor virtues of the age are concealed by the inaparti tiality of the writer. He paints in one chapter the glory and in another the disgrace—here the garland and there the worm born from its very luxuriance — according to that expression of Voltaire (" Han." ch. vit.)— « la sombre envie, a l' mil timtde et loathe, Versant sur des lauriere its poimn 3 de 83 bouche." little later, and our a uthor produced e in Auriol the " fragment a romance'— the materials of which resembled t he " Sr. Leon" of ' Godwin and t'4e " moni" of B ai had reference to th e wer-Lytton, inas much as they sY-hi l ted and con mystic lore of the u Resierasians. As f ar as the dimly-hipped fusedly-arranged pl o t is. comprehensible at the con clusion, it resolves itself into a student's dream three hundred and fifty yetis az ,nib o; ina!:l alchemist. on London bridge, occupied by Dr. in 1599 imbibed V Ahriol , Darcy having brings to destruction three successivellbrAroZs', Edith Talbot, Clara Pesten, mid Ebbs Teorney croft, somewhat as in . the Phantasm of th e + V a mpire," lately , dramatised by Dion Bourcicaulte pieces . have B et ides " Auriol,' other fragmentary as the " Sketch" ano-ther, fallen from the same band, such called The Old .

In 1848, the 66 Sundry again became the vehicle for the nonce iniweekly instalments of a fiction by Harrison Ainsworth —the disbursement of th e t , proprietors being, as in the former instance, 1,000 and the work being this time a " Romance e t Pendle Forest," under the t it le of The Lancashire Witches. Through the medium of this weird narrative the author cele'orated not_ the the . lovely, but the unholy " charms women of the county falatin e • During of the • year of its original publication be Ed ited an Llisto _ _ rival Romance descriptive of the Revolution o r 1588, and thence bight " James the Second." Since that oesasien he has only once re-eppeared in his cha racter as a novelist. Mervyn Clitheroe, towards the close of 1851, was announced as to be issued in monthly numbers, illustrated by Poiz, the fret of these numbers being accordingly published in De cember. Scarcely, however, had the author given evi ence in the successive chapters;that his capacities as a ' w riter of fiction had be en i mproved by la pse of the. time rather than deteriorated , when at the fourth "n -stalment • • pnblication of the work was suddenly in terrupted because in circumstance the more to be regretted, have advent ured "M ervyn Clitheroe" the author seemed to pkting thesociety familiar ground, evidently de under the sugge stive Manchester forty years since it may be our r - e name of Ctttonborough. Pos siblystory through the , author's intention to complete the that periodical, af ter the "Ainsworth's Magazine," lapse of a brief i n t erva l , having long sinc e passed posses sion. By purchasing from(3ag o e l in into his of 1845 the copyright of the ~ ~.,Tb urn, in the sprin g Maga zine,,, be has become, more o e ' r , r Monthly Maga , the excl . usive proprietor of that eminent publication. Occupied i n the editorebip of these two magazine,; Ha rrison ins worth still lingers in the vicinity of ' the metropolis— deferring, until the autumn of lif e hes advanced, his then projected .removal from Kensal Manor-house , his London res i dence, to Beech-hill, his residenc e i n Lancashire. With the features of Ainsworth his readers have become familiar, through the assistance of Alaclise, Lane, and Pickersgill. With the Peculiarities of his temperament he has him.. self rendered them intimately acquainted. That temperament he has s hown to be exquisit e l y Sensitive not less of the horrible then of the beautiful. Rl* romances yield evidence of this is a thousand particulars—i n those landscapes coloured variously with the glow of Claude and the gloom of Salvator— in those lyrics ga as the son.; of the Tyrol or ghastly a s t , Y . of th e Btocken—but still tut incantations more, in those creations p e e n.) • the one and chaunt - ing the other, homely some of them as the models of Oetade, and other s w ild as the wildest dreams Of Fuseli. Every where i n t hese romances, however, a preference for the grislier moods o f imagination renders The itself apparent. author's purpose, so to speak, gravitates to the preternatural. Had be bee n a pa i n te r by.tetici THE SUN, LONDON, of a romancist, he would have portrayed the agonies of Ugolino—and portrayed them, too, as Da Vinci portrayed toe " rotello del fieo"—in lines the most haggard, and hues the most cadaverous. As a writer of fiction, his place among his contemporaries may, we conceive, ba very readily in d i c a te d. He occupies the Fame position in the present that Anne Radcliffe occupied in a former generation. KEPT. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the O f ficial Lia.

We read in the Akhbar of Algiers :—" The Consul- General of France at Tripoli has broken off all direct relations with the Pacha of that regency, and is wait ing for the orders of his Government. This deter mination has been caused by the following grave event. Two French deserters had been working for some time past as farriers in the quar t e rs of the Turkish cavalry at Tripoli. The o ffi cer in command of these troops, wishing to bind them permanently to the Ottoman service, frequently, but without succeoss, urged them to embrace the Mahometa n religin. He became still more urgent at the time of the Ramadan, and compelled them to fast like the Turks. The men, dreading that recourse would at length be had to extreme violence, resolved to make their sub mission to the French consul-general, and to incur all the consequences of their desertion rather than abjure their religion. One of them only was able to accomplish his object, and place himself under the protection of the French flag. The other was arrested by the Turks before he could find an asylum at the consulate, and was horribly beaten and then thrown in prison. to M. Pelissier, our consul-general, claimed him in vain ; the Turks refused to givi u. Thi s was not all ; his companion had thei mprud ence to leave the consulate to take leave of a friend, an d at the moment when our consul was about to s end him to Marseilles he was arrested by fifty Turks and carried off, after being beaten so se verel y that the Christians of the country believe that he is dead. It may be well conceived that M. Pelissier, whose firmness of character is well known, protested against this second affair with even more energy than against the first ; nevertheless he has not been able to obtain any reparation. Our Government will doubtless be able to obtain by force, if necessary, that satisfaction which is refused to its a gent. The affair at bottom is more serious than that of Sal& as thether Angel", a and the indignation of the Christian population is the g reater, venerable priest, admission to give the last rites of religion to the pocr imprisoned and perhaps dying Frenchman." The production and consumption of b eetroot sugar, which for some months had fallen off, has acquired fresh activity during the month of June. It appears from the official returns in the Illoniteur that the number of manufactories at work at the end of last month was 329, or 25 more than at the. corresponding , period of last ye a r. T ne a mount ma nufactured g sauce the comm encemen t o f t h e season is 73,972,760 kilogrammes a einA 79 463,382 in 185 0-51 .

There remained in entrep6t at the end of June 5,614,519 kilog. against 6,783,881 on the 30th June, 1851. It results from these returns that the decrease on the quantity manufactured is much greater than on the quantities remaining in stock, or in the en trepOts, from which it may be in ferred that the dif ference is made up to consumers by colonial or foreign sugar. WEST INDIES' From Barbadoes our dates are to the 12th July. The Legislature was in session, and the new Tariff Bill, abolishing the Imperial Customs, and assimilat ing the Imperial and Colonial duties on imports had passed the second reading, an amendment vest ing the appointment of the new staff of officers in the Local Government, instead of in the Board of Customs as at first intended, having been carried and embodied in the Bill. The weather had been dry, and except on two or three estates sugar making had ceased for the season ; the yield had been unprece dented, surpassing the most sanguine anticipations ; about 44,000 • hogsheads of sugar had been cleared, and the total exports would probably reach 48,000 hogsheads. The garrison and island generally were healthy. In Antigua genial showers had fallen, but copious rains were much required to establish the next crop. A great deficiency of available labour was felt throughout the island, and much distress prevailed generally among the planters. Numerous commer cial failures bad occurred, and it was expected that the Legislature would send delegates to represent the present state of the island to her Majeity's Ministers, it being evident that the island is fast descending into a state of absolute ruin, unless that event be averted by prompt relief and assistance from the mother country. GnENADA, JULY 10.—The sugar crop (about 8,000 hogsheads) was nearly brought to a close. Th e planters complain (and with great cause, it is said) of the want of an ample and regular supply of agricultural labourers. On some good estates the managers cou►d not muster more than from ten to fifteen effective people in their fields, and the canes were consequently getting filled with weeds. The Africans are, without doubt, found to be the most effective and suitable labourers for sugar plantations. Mercantile matters are dull and unpromising, owing greatly to the depressed and uncertain state of the produce market. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

This return comprises the births and deaths regis the spricg quart er en di ng J une 30 t h, tered by 2,190 registrars in all th e di s t r i c t s o f Eng landabout 3,328 re g i s t ere d p l aces o f wor&h i p unconne cted with the Establi s h e d Ch urc h , an d 623 18r5c2h dining ;and3pei the marriages in more than 12 000 churches superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended March 31, 1852 . The return of marriages i s no t comp l ete; b ut t h e defects are inco nside rable, and approxitnative, num bers have been supplied from the r ecor d s o f pr ev i o us years. The general results of the return are not unsatis factory; the marriages exceed the average number, the births are above, the deaths are but slightly above the average of the seasons. MARRIAGES. The marriages in the quarter ending March 31st were 32,933, consequently, in the three months 65,866 persons were marri e d : thi s s li g htly excee d s the numbers in the corresponding quarter of 1851, and is 10,906, or one-fifth part, more than the num bers married in the winter quarter of 1847. The rate of marriages, is after allowing for increase of population, is found to exceed the average of the season, and is only less than it was in the winter quarters of 1846 and 1851. The excess is distri buted over nearly all the divisions of the country, but is most conspicuous in London, where the mar riages in the winter quarter increased from 4,377 in 1849 to 5,576 in 1852. Marriages increased in St. George's, Hanover square, and in Hastings, Brighton, Bath, Clifton, and o th er watering-places. T he mar riages in the south- eastern division also increase d i n Surrey, Sussex, and liamp s hir e ; d e creased in Berk shire. There wa s an increase in Oxford an d Cam bridge, in Colche s t er and in Norwich, in Malmesbury and in Bradford (Wilts), also in Exeter, in Redruth, Cornwall, and i n Bristol ; in Hereford, Shrews bury, and Staff or d ; in Wolstanten and Burslern, among the Staffordshire Potteries. The marriages in Birmingham were 390, or 44 less than in the pre vious winter. In Leicester and Nottingham the number of ma ages has, for the last two yearn, ex ceeded the av erage. The marriages in the last quarter were also ove r t h e average in the districts of Der byshire, in Warrington, a n d M anchester. In Sheffield marriages Stockport, Liverpool, Prescot, Wigan, were numerous; in several districts of Yorkshire below the average. In the northern counties the marriages exceeded the average ; in Wales they declined f rom 1,930 in 1851 to 1,804 in the winter quarter of 1852. BIRTHS. The, births 'of 159,136 children, born alive, were registered in the quarter ending June 30, 1852. The same number, w i t hi n t wo , was reg i stere d i n the spring quart er o f l ast year . Th e proport i on o f bi r th s to the p o p u l at i on since 1849 has greatly exceeded the average of previous years. INCREASE OF POPULATION. As the bi r th s i n t h e quarter were 159,136, t h e deaths 100,813, the increase of population by natural i cause s 5 8,323. The increase in the previous quar ter was 55.094 ; in the corresponding quarter of 1851, 69,499. In the quarter ending June 30, 1852, 125,112 emigrants sailed from the ports of the united kingdom at which their are emigration agents ; 21,890 sailed from Irish ports, 8,687 from the Scotch ports of Glasgow and Greenock, and 94,535 from: English p orts , namely, 3 224 f rom Pl ymout h , 15,304 from London, an d 76 , 007 f rom Liverpool.

Lie price of provisions has varied little during the quaver; mutton and beef have, however, been a little eneaper than they were in the previous quarter; the price of- wheat remains 40s. 101 a quarter. STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. The deaths in the spring quarter were 100,813, and the mortality was at the rate of 2.227 per cent. per annum, which is slightly above the average of the districts, comprising chiefly small towns and country season. Th e excess o f d eat h s was c hi e fly in the town distri c t s , w hi c h st ill ma i n t a i n th e i r f a t a l pre eminence over the c o untry in destroying the lives of the pop u l at i on. The rate o f morta li ty i n t h e 506 parisoes, was 2.052 ; in the 117 town districts, 2 . 436 ; so that out of the same population, for every four deaths in th e di str i cts w h ere the air and water are comparatively p ure , th e re are nearly five deaths in London and our o th er t o wns, where all the sanitary arrangements are s till left so imperfect that no im provement sensibly affecting the rate of mortality has hitherto been effected. In the three months that have elapsed, 48,357 deaths have been registered in the town districts in the place of 40,000, who would have died if the mortality had not exceeded two per cent. ; a standard of salubrity by no means high or unattainable. The season has been unusually cold, but find has been abundant, and from the notes of the registrars generally it may be inferred that the people are actively employed. In London 13,173 deaths were registered in 13 weeks; 2,828 were ascribed to zymotic diseases, 443 to violence, privation, ecold, or intemperance. 19 deaths were caused by poisons, 5 by laudanum, 3 by oxalic acid, 3 by essential oil of almonds, and 2 by prussic acid. Two of the deaths were ascribed to overdoses of laudanum; the others were cases of suicide, and included 7 males, 4 fem a l e s, of ages rangingott's from 18 to 70. O ne death was referred to Cu oil, one to improper medicine, one to lead (a age 36), and three to poisoning by accident. It i s gratifying to observe that no case of death by arsenic has been registered in London.

They would then purchase horses of the country farmers, and pay for them partly in genuine sovereigns, and partly in forged notes, and, of course, almost immediately after wards they would wake off with their purchases. Many of these frauds ca me to the knowledge of the police, but the perpetrators contrived to elude their vigilance.

(Bofaze the UNDER•SHERIFF Of Kent and a Special Jury.) WHITEBAIT DINNERS. CODSELL V. THE COMMISSIONERS OP GREENWICH HOSPITAL. This was an inquiry under the recent Act for the "Enlargement and Improvement of Greenwich Hospi tal," and the jury were summoned to assess the amount of compensation to be paid by the Commissioners to the' present claimant for her interest as tenant of the tavern known as the " Ship Torbsy," situate close to the hospi tal, and facing the large steam-boat pier, which premi ses are now required to be pulled down, in order that the pro posed improvements may ba made and fully carried out. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Phipson appeared for the claimant; and the Attorney-General, Mr. Bodkin, aed Mr..Bovill were counsel for the Hospital Commissioners. It appeared that the claimant had been the tenant of the premises in question for upwards of 12 years at an annual rental of 1001. The deceased husband of this lady had originally paid a premium of 5,0001. for the lease, and it was alleged, and was now proved, that he had by his exertions and influence created and obtaiad a very considerable trade to the house prior to his death. The inquiry, as it proceeded, became one of much public interest and curiosity, from the disclosures which wore made as to the immense profits which were gained by the tavern-keepers of Greenwich, Blackwell, and elsewhere, by the supply of the luxury recognised as a " whitebait " dinner to the London visitor. Several of the witnesses estimated that the profits upon a dinner of this " little fish " as exceeding 300 per cent., and one of the waiters, in answer to a question put by Mr. James, gave, as instance, this fact—that on Thursday last they had supplied as many as 44 " whitebait " dinners, for which the charge made was half-a-crown per head, realis• ing a sum of 5/. 103. The quantity of fish which had been required to furnish these 44 dinners had only cost the landlady Bs. 6d. A great dsal of evidence having been given as to the value of the business of the tavern, and also tea to the value of the goodwill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the jury in a powerful speech, urging a diminution of the amount of compensation claimed. The UNDER-SHERIFF then summed up the evidence, and The jury, after having retired for some short space of time, returned, when they fitated that they had assessed the amount of compensation to which the claimant was entitled at 5,1501. It was rumoured in the court that an offer of 3,0001. had been made to the claimant .previous to the inquiry, but that that offer had been refused. THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE. The first column of this marvellous structure will be raised on Thursday next by Mr. Laing, M.P., the chair man of the Crystal Palace Company. Since our last report of the arrangements contemplated by the pro jectors of the undertaking, the preliminaries for carrying out thoroughly the'comprehensive design have been con cluded, and a thousand hands are already at work, that faith may be kept and the building thrown open to the public, on the let of May, 1853. We are happy to be able to state that, so far as the Government are concerned, no impediment will be thrown in the way, and that there is now no fear of the people's losing their palace on the day on which they can best avail themselves of its many means of eleva tion and refinement. When the directors orthe Crystal Palace Company applied some few weeks since to Lord Derby for a charter, they communicated to his Lord ship the terms upon which they proposed to open the building and grounds on Sundays. Tney were of opinion that until after one o'clock no trains should run from London, and the Crystal Palace itself should be strictly closed. After that hour they pro posed to throw open the park and the winter garden, but not to exhibit those departments of the building which will partake exclusively of a manufacturing and com mercial character, the intention being to devote a certain portion of the space to specimens of manufactures, &c., which the public will be invited upon certain conditions to display. In the thin d place, the directors undertook that on Sunday no spirituous liquors should be sold in their grounds. On Monday last Lord Darcy requested an interview with the directors, who, with Sir J. Pax ton, waited upon the Premier and the Home Secretary in Dawning-street. At this meeting his Ingdship ac quiesced in the stipulations proffered by the Crystal Pa lace Company, suggested a few trifling variations, and promised to grant the required charter. Before the first column of the eigantic edifice is raised, it will be interesting to trace the various modifications which the design of the Crystal Palace has under gone, from the celebrated blottingpaper sketch of Sir Joseph Paxton to its present state, as about to be erected by the Crystal Palace Company, with all the im provements which those engaged upon it have been able to suggest. It will be remembered that the first design submitted to the Royal Commission by Sir Joseph Paxton was a building in three steps, consisting of a nave and four side aisles, straight from end to end. But, in order to meet the requirements of the Building Committee, a transept was added in the centre; and when it was de cided that the large trees should be preserved and en closed within the building, this transept was moved east ward, thus dividing the building unequally, and, for the purpose of covering the trees, an arched roof, similar to the Chats w orth conservatory, was placed on the top of it. It was suggested by Sir Charles Barry to con tinue this arched roof over the nave of the building, but the idea was abandoned owing to the expense, and the fear that the difficulties of construction might possibly delay the opening of the Exhibition beyond the first of May, 1851. It was felt 'universally that this feature was wanting to render the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park a perfect building, and it was one of -the earliest deei !ions of the Crystal Palace Company that the new build ing should have a circular roof to the nave. Other mo difications and improvements were subsequently adopted from the requirements of the site, and these we shall now proceed to describe. The site chosen for the retereetion of the Crystal Palace is an irregular parelletogram of 300 acres, ex tending from the Brighton Railway, where it has a frontage of 1,300 feet; between the Sydenham and the Anerley stations, to the road which borders the top of Dulwich wood, where it has a frontage towards the road of 3,000 feet. The fall from this point to the Brighton Railway is 200 feet. It was at once felt that the only position for the new building was on the summit of this hill, and immediately adjoining the read. The building placed in this commanding position will be visible from London on the one side, and from a vast extent of coun try on the other. In consequence of the rapid fall of the ground an additional story became necessary oil the park front of the building; and this will remedy a de fect universally felt in the old building, viz., the little elevation of the front. By the choice of this site, also, a complete change be came necessary in the external character of the build= ing- What in Hyde-park had been the side here became the front. The great length of the old building prevented it being comprehended in one view; it was therefore shortened by 240 feet. A transept similar to the transept of the old building was pieced at each end, and a centre transept, with a vast circular roof 120 feet in diameter rising majestically over the circular roof of the nave, The transepts, with their aisles, ad vance from the main line of the building, and thus form a most majestic group; at the intersections of the roofs of transepts and nave will be low towers, adding im mensely to the general effect. A further improvement, of vast importance, was the introduction of arched recesses at the ends of these transepts, 24 feet deep; that of the centre transept, 194 'eat high and 120 feet wide; those of the side transepts, 150 feet high and 72 feet wide. The improvements which have been made in the in terior are not less important, independent of the vast additional effect afforded by the increased height of the nave (44 feet higher than the old building). Advan tage has been taken of the necessities of the construc tion of this important feature to add greatly to the ar tistic effect of the interior. In the old building the effect was secured by the simple repetition of two elements, a column and a gir der, and although great grandeur was thus obtained, it may be said that there was hardly sufficient variety, and the fall effect of the vastness of the structure was not entirely realized. At the extreme ends of the building, the columns and girders fell so rapidly one on the other that the eye had no means of measuring the length ; this defect had to be remedied in the new building, and it has been done in this wise—the columns and girders do not keep to one line as before, but every 72 feet, pairs of columns 24 feet apart, advance eight feet into the nave, and from these columns spring arched girders eight feet deep, in lattice-work of wrought iron, which sup port the longitudinal girders of the roof. These ad vancing columns are tied together, and thus form groups of pillars, like those of a gothic cathedral. These groups occurring every 72 feet down the nave thus fur nish the eye a means of measuring the building which it had not before. As regards the contents of the building it has already been announced that the whole of the sides of the nave, transepts, and the divisions on either side between the several court* will be lined with the plants and trees of every clime, interspersed with statues and works of art. 'On the noithreast side'of the building will be arranged the historical galleries of sculpture and architecture with casts of the finest works of sculpture and portions of buildings of ancient art. On the south-east side will be displayed similar collections of mediaeval art; while in the north add south-west portions of the building. as well as the whole of a 24-feet gallery round the, building, will be devoted to the purposes of exhibition. The machinery will be placed in the lower story on the park aide, in a gallery 24 feet wide, extending the whole length of the building. Outside, the decorations will have reference fo the fur nishing of the interior. The ends of the building will extend into large wings projecting a considerable dia taneeforward into the grounds, and encompassing terrace gardens which themselves occupy morn than 30 acres. Attached to one of these glass wings will be the railway, station, so arranged that persons descending from the railway carriages are at once introduced to the pain° by the wing. Those' wings will be terminated with grand glass towers, from which will be obtained exten sive views of the gardens, fountains, and grounds, and also a view of the surrounding Country to a very gr oa t distance. Beyond the terrace prdens, which will be, adorned with fountains and statuary, Sir Joseph Paxt on has undertaken to carry out a design for waterworks, temples, and statuary, in forms and on a scale hizherto unknown. Two of the jets which he lilts in.band will rise to a height of 200 . feet, and will form the main object of interest from the glass towers • already spoken of. Sir J ose ph has also in preparation an unevall e d collecti on o f hardy and half-hardy plants, a n d an illus trative series explanatory of the natural and Liar. wean system s o f b o tany. H 4 has already securcd for the Crystal Palace Company the - magnificent collo:Hon of palms and other choice plants brought together during the past century by the Messrs. Lodridges, specimens hitherto unrivalled in Europe, and is daily, auding to the number of his treasures by other specimen& purchased fr,:a well-known collectors, or conferred upon him as gifts. SERIOUS FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE. - Yesterday morning, abonc fire o'clock, a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. F. Llwrenee, bock and tool d3aler, No. 75, New-cut, Lambeth. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock the fire soon had a fast hold on the lower portion of the premises, which, however, was soon extinguished after the arrival cf the engines belonging to the various stations of the metro polis, and fortunately the fire was prevented from reach ing the upner part of the premises, and th" wijoinlng houses. The parties were insured in the County and Liverpool offices. Whilst the fire was at its height, a melancholy accident bezel Policeman Ireland, 119 L. at which time he was endeavouring to wive the lives of the inmates of the burning betties. To effect his praise worthy object, he had mounted ou the woodwork built out from the shop, to enable him to reach the first-floor window, bat the smoke was so thick that, not seeing his way clearly, he f e ll t h rough a skylight into the street below. He was picked up, and was found to have sus tained a severe fracture of the leg, besides being inter nally injured and much bruised. He was at once taken to Guy's Hospital, where he now lies in a precarious condition. About the same time two other fires occurred, which were attended with considerable destruction of property, and one, unfortunately, with a loss of human life. One fire happened in the premises belonging to Mr. Thomas Drew, a cheesemonger, can; ing on business at No. 55, 3rundy-Areet, Poplar. The discovery was made by a police-officer of the K division, who, on passing the pre mises, perceived dense bodies of smoke pouring through the crevices of the front window shutters. He imme diately sounded an alarm in the usual way, and atter considerable trouble he succeeded in awaking the in mates, who fortunately managed to reacts the street in safety. The draught, however, occasioned by the par ties opening the house to effect their escape caused the fire to spread with unusuil swiftness, and in a compara tively brief period the flames took possession of every portion of the premises. The eneines of the parish quickly attended, followed by Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the A section, wish several engines of the London Bri gade. An abundant supply of water was procured from the East. London Company's works; and the engines having been called into operation the fire was eventually extinguished, but not until the premises and all they con tained were destroyed. Nothing more than the bare outer walls are left standing: The cause of the disaster is unknown. Fortunately the contents were insured in the Norwich Union, and the building in the Hand-in- Hand offices. The second fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. G. Tilbury, green grocer and fruiterer, situate at No. 11, James -street, Kensington. It commenced on the ground floor, used es a geeersl store for baskets and fruit. It appears, from the inquiries instituted, that a boy named George Ilardirnau, thirteen years of age, was employed by Mr. Tilbury to assist him in his business, and that he occasionally slept. iu the basket-room. It is presumed that on Sunday morning he went to sleep in the same place, taking with him a lighted candle; for of a sudden a cry was raised of "Fire and help." In a very few seconds some of the neighbours hastened to the spot, when they found flames Lsuimg from the front windows, and a considerable body of fire on the ground floor. .At that time the unfortunate boy Hardiman was in the middle of the flames, and all attempts to get at him proved futile. The iuhabitants and inmates, with the aid of buckets of water. managed to beat down the fire sufficiently to allow some of the persons to enter, when they found the poor boy burn'd almost as black as a coal. Uvii pulling him out, lire was found to be quite extinct. The engines of the parish and too of the London brigade were soon on the spot, and owing to the assistance of all present the flames were confiusd to the ground floor. The body of the deceased remains for a coroner's inquest, when no doubt the precise cause of the melancholy event will be fully ascertained. Mr. Tilbury was uninsured. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
