ASCENT OF MONT BLANC.

TO THB EDITOR Or THE RHEIMS.

SlB.,—Though tho public have lately bad many
accounts of the ascent of Mont Blanc, I think there
have been none more original than the one I have the
honour to enclose, from a boy of 17, who has just left
Eton, and who has since, with a single guide, made
the ascent of Monte Rosa also most ancoesstully.—
I am, sir, your obedient servant, D. W. C.
London, Sept. 7, 1855.

Chamosniz, August 18, 1855.

• • • • Heard (a young American) and myself
arrived here on Monday evening, and took a long walk on
Tuesday morning, or rather on Tuesday, for we were twelve
hours on our feet. Our guide declared that sack a walk
had been made here before, which rather raised our
estimation of ourselves and oar powers of walking. On
Wednesday we walked to a beautiful spot called the Jar-
din, in the midst of the Glaciers, and surrounded by all the
highest peaks of the Alpe. I had thought the way there
was difficult, and you may imagine I was rather astonished
at the arrival of a French lady with her husband about an
hoar otter us. She, as a matter of necessity, was dressed in
the same manner as her husband, which greatly facilitated
her movements. We diced up at this lovely spot, and very
well too. Knives and forks were scare*, and chickens were
devoured much in the same way as they are at Bton on
election Saturday or 4th of June. Neither, to make the
simile complete, was ohampagne wanting, as the French
lady and gtatleman had some, of which they
gave us a good share. Well, we were rather
more than 9,00 feet above the level of the see, and old
Mont Blanc was only 6,000 feet above as, a very little
thing where the heights are go great, and be looked smaller
than he really was. The beauty of the scenery, the cham-
pagne, &a, so exhilarated my spirits, that I told Heard
that I was going to start next day for the summit of the
"monarch of mountains; " and as you had told me to keep
my eyes open and sae everything whilst I was abroad, I
thought I might as well see as much as I mad at a glance.
Deeds soon followed my thoughts; I told the guides my
intention ; and from that moment it was a settled thing,
and we returned immediately and took a cold bath, in
order to prepare us for the nett day's fatigues. Fortunately
for us we bad made the acquaintance of a very nice told man
here, who, some years ago, was the best guide in the place,
but has now retired. This man, simply out of kindness, and
for no recompense whatever, arranged everything for us;

and when we left Chamounis, on Thursday morning (16th
host.), it wee with the beat arranged party possible. This
was soon increased by the arrival of two volunteers, who had
heard of our good auspices. One of them, a sturdy butcher,
amused us all the way by his tricks and utter carelessness of
danger. In the descent that fellow would slide some hundred
yards down a bank of snow, in defiance of the shouts ci the
guides, and atop himself just on the edge of a crevasse. A
very different object is he this morning. i saw him when
he came to get us to sign a certificate of his having been up.
He had no veil or spectacles yesterday, things indispensable
even to the guides, and hie face was most 'heedfully burnt,
end be could not see oat of his eyes. Well, to come back
to the point : we arrived at the Grande Mulcts so much
sooner than usual that no one was looking out for us at
Chunouniz, and they did not give us the customary salute.
This was a good beginning, I thought, at any rate. On
Friday morning we started, at 2.30 a.m., from the Grande
Mutate, and after seven hours' walking arrived at the sum-
mit of the highest mountain in Europe, at 9.20 precisely—
not without 120/leaky, I can aware you. Two of our guides
were unable to reach the top, one being so blinded by the
snow that be was obliged to be baulel along by another, as
it was quite unsafe to leave him amongst the crevasses
alone. We two reached the summit, although I, for one,
hardly knew I was there ; as when once one lost one's
breath up at that height it was a long time before
we could get it again. I was assisted slightly the
last quarter of an hour, as I had been especially ad-
vised to be so, and waived up there as hearty as
any of them ; and oh ! how happy I was when I got a good
swig of champagne, as I was half dead of thirst; and I em

sorry to my that in my hurry to drink it I quits forgot the
health of the Queen. We arrived up at 9 20, stayed there
half an hour, and were down again at the Greeds Mulets
at 12.46 ; without hurrying the least, we started about 1.46,
stopped on the road at the usual plum to treat our guidee,
and arrived at Chamomile at half.past 6, quite fresh, to the
astonhhment of every one. We were so early that nobody
expected us, but nevertheless we met al pimple oa the
way to meet us; and when we came into the town instead
of the usual number of guns, they fired a salute of? twelve,
and the whole place turned oat to have • look at the
" little boys" who had been up Mont Blue.
The people who had bun watching as with telescopes all
day were astonahed at the rapidity of our ascent, sad the
way we had come down, all together, in single file, just as
we had gone up, for nobody wanted &mistime. The oily
one who ever broke the line was the butcher, end everyone
wasted to know who it was that kept gob% like lightning
ever the precipices .

METROPOLIS IMPROVEMENT.

_1,••••.-

We have been favoured with an inspection of Mr.
Horace Jones's plans for an edifice to be appropriated
to purposes of trade, which he suggests as a subeti.
tote for the rubbish hole which at present occupies
the area of ground at the intersection of New Cannon.
street sad St. Paul's Churchyard. It may be remem-
bered that the Institute of British Architects, by the
most influential of their body, did some time back
propose that the fine view of Wren's masterwork,
obtainable from the vicinity of the point of intense-
tion, should be preserved to the public, by the per.
manent enclosure of this plot of land, and the pee.
vention of all buildings thereon. But as the Institute
were not prepared with the fends to purchase this boon
from the Corporation, who very naturally winced at
the propose' to sacrifice some thirteen thousaad
pounds—the estimated value of the ground—nothipg
seems to have been done. At all events, there the
enclosure is, and a skeleton rail appears within it,
indicating, we believe, what portion of the site *
City are prepared to devote to public convenience, and
what they reserve for building purposes.
Mr. Jones proposes, in the first place, to stop epee
perhaps cover with an arcade, that fraction of the
street named Old Change which lies between Wat-
ling-street and New Cannon•street. This would be
attended with no public inconvenience, and has,
we believe, the sanction of those immediately on the
spot.
The ground thus gained, with a small portion in
the rear now occupied by the warehouses of Messrs.
Phillips and others, and so much of the now
unoccupied laud as the City reserve for build-
ing purposes, he proposes to cover with a hand.
some pile of warehouses, to the p 1 n, dm., of which
our attention was invited. The style may be deno-
minated the Anglo-Italian, as practised in the age of
William and Mary and Anno, examples of which are
found in the works of Sir Christopher Wren at
Hampton Court and elsewhere, and in many
buildings erected under his contemporaries and pupils.
The materials are red brick and stone. The lower or
ground story is a Doric composition, carrying an lonia
order, and the whole crowned by a light though im-
posing attic, the windows being treated with consi-
derable breadth. The architectural features form the
skeleton of the building, aiding its general appear-
ance, and indicating their own utility. The general
lines and character of the deeign are somewhat in
harmony with Sir Christopher Wren's great work—
as much so, at least, as an edifice devoted to comma-
mercial purposes can well be with a metropolitan
cathedral.
Vaults roofed with glass might be carried under so
much of the triangular area as the Corporation should
elect to keep open, the enclosure being maintained
' by a suitable balustrade or railing. Thus the area
might at all events be partially productive of revenue;
or, if it seemed good to the civ►c authorities, it week'
afford an unexampled site for a statue, securing in
either case to the public as extensive a view of the
cathedral as we can be warranted in expecting the
municipality to provide, when there are so many
demands of tenfold urgency and importance to the
community upon the funds of which they are
stewards.

The building proposed is of an exceedingly light
and ornamental character—adapted, of course, to the
special requirements of those trades which are pHs-
ctpally carried on in the vicinity of Wood-street.
What the intentions of the corporation are uto
this present disfigurement of the City, we are of
course unprepared to say ; but, as we are given to
understand that they are open to proposals for leasing
the site, we may assume that they have no posi-
tive intention of raising any structure on it on their
own account; and we may, therefore, safely aid the
general desire to be rid of an eyesore, and to continue
the recent advances in street-architecture, by inviting
consideration of the plans we have loosely described.

A meeting of the Directors of the Norfolk Estuary

not to make any large expenditure as present.
A large and influential meeting of coal owners and
coal viewers, end other gentlemen interested in the education
of the children of the miners in the counties of Durham and
Northumberland, was held in the Neville Hall, New
on-Tyne, on Thursday to consider • echeme proposed
by the Hon. and Rev. J. Grey, for promoting education
in the mining and manufacturing districts. The chair
was occupied by the Earl of Durham, sod smug tbcee pre-
sent were Lord R worth. Hon. H. G. Liddell, M.P.;
Mr. T. E Headline, M.l'. ; Mr. R. Irghsm, M.P. ; Mr.
Nicholas Wood, the chairman of the Institution of Moto;
Engineers; Colonel Statism of Etherhy ; the Mayors of
Newcastle and Gateshead, several of the clergy, and a con-
siderable number of iofluential coal-miners. Res9liitions
in support of the scheme proposed were unanimously •
agreed to.
A meeting of the promoters of the Whitehsven
Races was held on Thursday, for the purpose of giog
preliminaries for the forthcoming meetirg. The following
gentlemen were appointed stewards, vie. ;—Capt. Harris; of
Orsysouthen ; Capt. Weston, of Seaton Hell ; and Henry
Jefferson, E'q., of Springfield.
A local paper remarks that the inhabitants of Car-

have for some months past experienced considerable incon-

and there has been • general complaint et great scarcity or
copper money; indeed, numbers of people, particulsrlg
such as are engaged in retail trade, have been fen-
quently put to their wit's end to obtain ',change
for a sixpence," vainly rushing from neighbour
to neighbour to no purpose, and have been at last'
compelled to return iu despair with the unfortunate coin
still unchanged. Such a state of things, we are happy to
state, will no doubt shortly terminate, and we shell per-;
hape be subjected to an inconvenience of a very &Meant-
character from a proportionate influx. We perceive that
Government have entered into a contract with Mr. Ealpb.
Heaton, of Birmingham, to coin 600 tons of copper money.
which contrast hes just been completed. No doubt we Mall
in common with other towns participate in the cone quiz(
advantages when this large quantity ;ham been duly dc-,;
culated.
