MiTILOPOLIII.—It is mentioned on the authority of the
, rector of one of the populous London parishes just to the
north of the CAT, in au Essay recently published by
Ashritel and Whichoord, " Oa the Erection of Fireproof
Houses in Flats," that there has been an addition of 1,000
; persons in his parish upon a former population of 4,000,
since the last anus, and yet not a single house has been
built in the district; in fact, there is no room for building,
every scrap of ground being covered. He states that people
have been driven in from the dwellings destroyed in
Holborn, Clerkenwell, and Spits Hittite, and that they have
, been thrust upon the other population ; huddled into any
hole and corner they could put their heads into—not from
poverty, but from sheer want of ahy dwelling within reach
of their work ; that respectable artisans, particularly among
the class who work at their own homes, even makers of little

which may be expected, it is to be hoped, from the endea-
vours of earlier labourers in this field, and give plans for the
arrangement of buildings on plots of ground of various
shapes, calculated to afford healthful habitations to various
alums at a cost not exceeding what they are now paying for
moat laaufacient and death dealing retreats. This is the
cogent argument for endeavours that we have constantly
need, namely, that good may be done and money made .1
the same time, or at all events not last.— TA* Builder.
Tim SYDNEY DRAPERY TRADE.—The elan of
drapery goods now required for our consumption is of a
mach bettor description than has been imported of late
plan. The pecuniary position of the labouring °lames has
bees so much bettered within the last two years that their
domestic habits have undergone a very material change, and
articles that would have been eagerly sought for or endured
from nasality are now rejected. ThL fact is most °bear-
able in every article connected with the drapery trade, more
