THE NEW POOR HOUSE OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

The new Poor Home for the Ci'y of London
Union Is a magnificent structure, erected within the last
eighteen swaths is the Bow-road, Mile-end. The style of
architecture is Italian, and the general character of
tie structure is extremely elegant, and at the same time
substantial. The entrance to the union feces the high road,
sled the coup Boil fro. the exterior is such as to beget ideas
of beauty and repose. The general aspect of the building
impresses the beholder with • feeling of asttnishment, and an
exessiatatim of the interior is certainly suggestive of the
greatness of our modern improvements. All the hints
which have been thrown oat at public awnings
during the prevalence of disease, and every valu•
able suggeetion which has bee. made upon the rub-
-1 jai of ventilation through the medium of the newspapers,
appear to have been most studiously followed, and the sr-
chiteet, Mr. Tress, has executed his w-rk in a manner which
reflects the highest credit upon his taste. In studying the
beauties of architectural design, he has not forgotten the ne-
merry conveeiencts which were intended to Corm the grin-
ding testae* of the building. The union stands upon woe-
ful sees 0 greistd, and the architect seems to have carried
eat his design with two leading principles in view—vie.,
=
and ventilation. The apartments appropriated to

sod I. the rear of the greenlet, is a especial's dining hell,
where the members of both sexes will meet at meal
time. This ream is one of noble prapertions, and
is capable of meonsmodating upwards of • thousand

stle piece of mead, is the infirmary, which is adapted to

mediately frontisig the entrance gate, is the chapel, which,
Ilikeelf, is well deservieg of attention, both as regards its
emithestural Ossetia, and the acememmistiaa it is calculated
te and. The design is characterhed by extreme &im-
pii but, at the same time, there is an ap-
