sicnrs.—The following ani details of this pro.
p00.,1 building :—Mr. Bennett who, we ander.
man,' has had considerable experience in con.
• ion witb iron, has shown considerable, inge-
nuity, at the same time preserving great simplicity
in &arguing this structure, of which a model, as
will ari drawings, can shortly be seen exhibited
by Kr. Haskins. Mr. Bennett proposes to build
a lisie or plinth 3 feet high from the level of the
pm: inept of brick or stonework, upon which there
is a :est ism sill, of the form of • T reversed, whisk
err es as a coping to the wall or base, and having
rot 4ets or holes at istalvals of about 9 feet in the
II right portion takes the feet of the main columns
w.iich continue up to the roof of the building,
rioing supports to the galleiy and the transverse
girders or principals. At the level of the gallery
floor there is a cast iron ornamental girder which
continues all round the building, with ornamental
booms or corbels over iach column, from which spring
light mid elegant gothic ribe. The gallery front is
of light ornamental iron work, and similar Gothic
ran form arches between the columns throughout
the length of the building on each side, adding
peat beauty and effect. Tbe gallery floor is pro-
p,sert to be of wood, upon small transverse wrought
0..11 girders A chamber is formed on the top
of the roof for ventilation, with ornamental iron
r.., and finial; which adds much to the beauty
<f u bedding. The side lights or wishes are
made to open by machinery, and can be
regulated from below to the greatest nicety,
sod every attention has been given to
thorough ventilation. It will be heated by but
water pipes. The transept will present a very fine
appearance, the middle portion of which, being 30
Feet some, is carried up a considerable height, having
a steep eloping roof supported by ornamental ribs
springing from the columna at the four corners. The
roof., both in.ide and out, are made accessible by
steels conteivanees, requiring neither ladders or
scalb.lding for r, pair., , The paths are to be of
woolen framed trellis work. The building will be
ropy of access for Bath chairs, there is also provision
made for them to stand under cover. The building
is PO arranged as to oder every possible accommoda-
tion to the public. There are waiting rooms fitted
up nob every coovenience entered from lobbies,
there is also a large refreshment room. The galleries
are most easy of access, and the building completed
and arranged will accommodate 1,000 persona. We
do not hesitate to say we believe when this building
Is completed it will be • great mimon and public
benefit, and will reflect the highest praise upon both
the promoter and architect, who are men of acknow.
lidged taste and ability.
Ilortorcn =TY Smisioss, Tomday. —Before the
Mayor and E. Bayly, Esq.—Several privies were
summoned for non-prisment of Board-otHealtb
rates. An order was made for payment in every
instance, and if unpaid within • week, distress
warrants win be issued--George Dowell was
summoned for allowing the chimney of his home
to be on fire on the 15th September, "contrary
to the statute." The defendant lives in High.
Street, and on Saturday morning last, about 11
o'clock, Sergeant Brine went to his house and told
lum that his chimney being OD fire be had better
send for • sweep. Defendant sent for me, and the
I.D.rep seat his machine up the chimney and put out
the firs. Superintendent Lidbury said that this was
the first ems of the kind be had brought before the
Bench, and the reason he had taken these promedings
way to show the public that it was their duty to
keep their chimneys swept, as be found that
slowing chimneys to catch fire was becoming very
erevalmt in the town. As the precast* was
calculated to create great devastation and de-
strurtion of property, he considered it his duty
to summon the defendant, although, this being the
first case brought here, he did not press for &penalty.
—"lie Mayor, after cautioning the defendant, said
the summons would be dismissed on payment of
costs—Several persona living at Adelaide-place
were summoned for permitting • maim:sato exist on

and ascertain if some arrangement, of a like nature,
could not he made with her. An order was given to
abate the nuisance within a week, under a penalty
of 2iis each and oosta.—John Burney, • marine,
belonging to the St. George, was brought up in ,
custody charged with stealing a scart. pin, value Eid,
the property of Caroline Norman. The promecutrix
said she lived at the Anchor Inn, usually called the
Three Steps beerhouse, High etreet. About half.
past 9 o'clock on Monday evening she was
sitting in the tap-room beside another soldier, when
prisoner came in, and using had language, told the
other soldier to get away and let him sit down.
Prisoner then sat by her side about ten minutes,
when she discovered that her pin waa lost. She saw
it stuck in bin shirt bosom, and asked him to return
it, which he refused, and swore if she asked him for
it again he would knock her down. Prisoner bad
frequently used the home, Primmer said that he
riked the pin up from the deck of his ship.—P.C.
Apsey said that he saw the prosecutrix about ten
o'clock, and in cousequenca of what ahe told bite he
ut to the Royal Engineers public house, where be
saw the prisoner and told him he wanted the pia
&loch was in the bosom of his shirt, After some
hesitation, nelsonst gave up the pin, when prosecu•
true owned it. and heaccordingly took him in custody.
Prio,ner in his defence said he picked the pin up
from the Hoot, when prosecutrix saw him and said
it was here At the time ano her man was sitting
between her and himself, and as there were other
females in the room, he said that as she had no pri-
irate mark on it, he would place it in his breast
when all ouuld see it, and if no one else owned it on
the morrow she might have it.—Th. Bench dis-
missed the cam, but told the prisoner that he had
1304 at exceedingly narrow escape.
