NEW BILLIAGS ATE MARKET.
The extensive alterations and improvements for
the enlargement of the great City Fish Market, long
known as " Billingsgate," are proceeding rapidly
towards completion. Apparently there is been some

eminent brewers, of Thames-street). his the
filter
will be sunk below low water mark, and
a
cient supply of water, of a pure quality, will besnoffib:
tallied for the use of the salesmen. Independently
of this a sufficiency will be furnished for thoroughly
cleansing the surface, flushing all drains, and keeping
constant streams running in the water-closets and
urinals at all times when requisite. The surface
drains, both in the upper and lower markets, are so
constructed that they will carry off the filth and
water from cleansing the fish, &c., and will have a
constant end plentiful flow of water through them
to assist in its removal, and to keep them perfectly
sweet. Instead of providing a cistern for the re-
ception of the filtered water from the cylinder
fixed in the bed of the river Thames, the water is
pumped up to the same height as the cistern would
have been placed, and arrangements are made
so that it may discharge itself in the form of a
fountain in the upper market, the fountain not having
cost more than a cistern would have done. As a
great quantity of water is used in the lower or shell-
fish market, which is considerably below the level of
high water, it has been found to be necessary to
pump out the drainage, hydraulic machines for this
purpose having been provided. The drainage by
pumps has these advantages—that it prevents the
necessity of a large cesspool for the accumulation of
filth and foul water from the lower market closets and
urinals, and that the drainage can be carried out to be-
low low water mark, and kept constantly discharg-
ing in small quantities under water, instead of running
away over the surface of the mud, emitting the most
unpleasant odours which during the existence of the
old market were so frequently and so justly com-
plained of. The market being enclosed on three
sides, and the lower market having only the well-
holes for the admission of light and air, it has been
thought advisable to provide means for ventilation, as
it appeared that such works might be done in con-
nexion with the drainage and works at a trifling in-
crease of expense. This is accomplished by a venti-
lating disc, which it is believed will prove at all times
necessary in the lower market, and highly beneficial
to both in producing a current of air in close or sultry
weather.

The river front of the market, with the shell-fish
and upper market, are nearly completed, and the
Thames-street front is rapidly proceeding, the stone
pillars for the support of the intended superstructure
being erected. It is expected that the entire area
will be opened for business purposes simultaneously
during the autumn, when it is said to be intended to
celebrate the event by some kind of public demonstra-
tion on the part of the Corporation of the City of
London.

MIRACLES IN FRANCE.
The Union de r Ouest publishes the following
letter addressed to it by M. Similien, Professor of
Mathematics at the School of Arts of Angers :
"In your number of the 15th ult. you announce
from a letter which I had sent to you, that some sur-
prising facts had occurred on the holy mountain of
La Salette on the Ist of July, the eve of the fête of
the Visitation of the Virgin. I now send you the
details. A young pupil at the religious esta
bbliesen

titude,
though not instantaneous, is not the less striking.
Another woman, known in the country for many
years as being paralytic, could not ascend the moun-
tain but with the greatest difficulty, and with the aid
of crutches. On the first day of the neuvaine, that
of her arrival, she felt a sensation as if life was
coming into her legs, which had been for so long
dead ; this feeling went on increasing, and the last
day of the neuvaine, after having received the com-
munion, she went without any assistance to the cross
of the Assumption, where she hung up her crutches.
She also was cured !"
