BATHS AND IVASHHOUSES IN THE PARISH OP
ST.GBORGB, HANOVBR.SQUARB.

The Acts the 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 74, and the 10 and
11 Vie., esp. 61, for the better providing of public baths and
waatitieuses, baying been adopted by the wealthy parish of
St. George, Hanover square, a very conamodiouv building,
' eroded for this purpose in Lower Belitrave-place,
has been thrown o, en to the public. On the besementstory
is the plunge bath, 60 feet in length, in which the healthful
eeeee mien of swimming may be learned or practised with
adulates,. It is lined with encaustic tiles, which not cal)
base a bondsman appearance, but insole Cleanliness.
Atom! are Compartments for 46 bathers, in which all
tbeeaceseary accommodation will be found. The roof
_

of this porti4 of the building Isofglsa7,7;pporteq with
iron girders, somewhat after the model of the Crystal
Palace, which gives to it a light and cheerful appearance—
• style of architecture which has been generally adopted in
the roofing of the institution. There are, then, on the
upper story, 47 separate warm and cold baths-22 of the
first, and 25 of the snood, class. Of the 22 first class baths
16 are devoted to men, and sit to women ; of the 25 of the,
Ineond den 17 are aparopriated to men, and Bto women.
In point of that great desideratum—eleanlineu—the first
clan baths have very properly no advantage over
the second. The former are lined with porcelain,
end the latter with sine, and there is some little
difference in the internal fittings, but the cam-
' penmen's in both are formed of slate, which has been
found to answer molt admirably in similar institutions.
There ere also waiting-rooms for both sexes attached to
loath elan of bathe, so that no ineonveniacee will be felt
abetted the influx of visitors be greater than the accommoda-
tion at command. The tariff of charges for the bathing
department will be found 'unkindly moderate. They
are as follows:-1st else,, cold bath, 3d.; warm both,
6d. In the second class baths (the entrance to which is in
Eceleston-street Esti), the charges are—for a cold bath,
Id. ; and for • warm bath, 21 In both classes an in-
ducement to cleanlineee in the rising g t tion is
held out ; for two children, not above sight years
of age, are allowed to go into not same bath-room,
and are charged as one pepsin. The baths are open on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday*, and Thursdays, from
Bin the morning until 9at night; on Fridays and Satur-
day s until 10 at night ; and on Sundays from 7 until half-
past 8 in the morning only. The charges in the washing
and laundry department are, for every hour, lid. ; for any
time exceeding one, but not exceeding two hours, 3d.; end
for each half hour in continuation of the second charge,
Id. For this tntsll charge every washer is provided
with a washing tub, a boiler, and rinsing tub, with a so&
eient supply of hot and cold water, with • wringing ma-
chine and drying closet, and all the necessary conveniences
for ironing. The oomminioners, with the view of proem.
log the general usefulness of the institution, sod of extend-
leg its bent fits to the very poor, have wisely determined
to issue to the ratepayers, and the public, tickets for volun-
tary distribution, by which means it is hoped many poor
families who would enter the building until permitted
to do so by • gratuitous adosiesioe, is the first 'instance,
may be taught the advantages and Witty of cleanliness.
For this purpose, for one guinea, 140 tickets will be issued,
each entitling the bearer to a second-clam warm both ; and,
for a similar amount, 95 tickets will be issued, each ticket
entitling the bearer to the use of the washhouses for two
successive hours.

like guardsmen again. Indeed, our brigadier-general gave
as praise yesterday for our appearance on parade. We base
the wooden house► to live la now, bat we ought to have bad
them four innottis ag and then tinny of our poor fellows
might have been saved. The cotditi. nof the array is im-
proving a little. The weather is very fine, sod has been for
the last fen days. It be not so bad in the trenches now so it
was two =oaths ago. We have got cur last yeses cloiltiost,
and we look quite smartsgaio. We are crpretiog en attack

one of the gee. blatant/a we have here. I must acknow
ledge we Ines had fighting here meet fearful to relate. I
can clearly say we bays been for a fortnight together and
never had a dry thread to our backs, with scarcely a bit of
shoe to our feet, sod the mud hall way up is vas knees;
but, thank God, the went of toe time is over now. We
have good boots and geed clothes, which will keep out a
good stem. We were all turned out this morning tl4tb
March), ezpetting an attack to be made on us by the
Russia..s. They showed a very good treat, supposed to be
about 30,000 of then, to attack Balaklava, but they were
not game to try their luck ; if they had, they would have
met with a very warm reception from our batteries, which
we have erected. We have got wooden houses to live in
now during the time weather. We ought to have bad these
good things a long time ago, and that would have been the
means of saving the lives of many thousands of our poor
comrades: they have lessened our army greatly. But with
all our losses we can still ' wallop' the Russian', for all
their superior numbers."

I have lived on salt meat and biscuit for so long that I
cannot take it now, so I buy bread, butter, &c., with
my pay, and I think it is that that his brought me round
so well, bat we have to pay very dear for everything we
have to bay. The French bake their own bread, and we
bay a loaf of them when we cam, but we have to give 3s 61.
