DEATH OF THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.
The premier Peer of Scotland, the venerable Duke
of Hamilton and Brandon, expired yesterday morning
at his mansion in Portman-square. His Grace was
one of the oldest, if not the very oldest member of
the Peerage, having been born in the year 1767, and
consequently be had attained the patriarchal age of
85. He succeeded his father, who was the ninth
Duke, in 1819, taking his seat in the House of Lords
by two titles—the Duke of Brandon and Baron Dut-
ton. His Grace never took any prominent. part in
policies. In the year 1810, when ,43 yearsot ewe, he
married the second daughter of Mr. William Beck-
ford, of Fenthill Abbey, whose celebrity in art and
literature will long be remembered. The issue of
this marriage was one son and one daughter. His
Grace is succeeded in his title and estates by his
son, William Alexander Anthony Archibald, Mar-
quis of Douglas and Clydesdale, who was horn
in 1811, and who married in 1843 the Princess
Mary Amelia Elizabeth Caroline, daughter of the
late reigning Grand Duke of Baden, and first cousin
to the President of the French Republic. The late
Duke was a Privy Councillor, a Knight of the
Garter, a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the
Antiquarian Society, and President of the Royal
Society of Scotland. By his demise, a blue riband
is:placed at the disposal of the Earl of Derby. The
family is one of great eminence and antiquity in the
peerage of Scotland. Tile keepership a Holyrood
House is hereditary in it. The second Earl of Arran,
of this line, which title was created in 1503, was
chosen Regent of Scotland in 1542, and was the next
year declared heir presumptive to the Crown. He I
was created Duke of Chatelberault, by Henry 11. of
France, a dignity which he subsequently surrendered
to the French Monarch. The first Duke was be-
headed, having been taken at the battle of Preston
fighting under Charles I. The second Duke was
slain at the battle of Worcester, in the service of
Charles 11. The present Duke, who is the eleventh,
has one son, born in 1845, who bas hitherto borne the
' courtesy title of Earl of Angus and Arran, but wbo
will now take that of Marquis of Douglas and Clydes-
dale. The Earldom of Angus was created in 1389.
Many noble families are placed iu mourning by the
decease of the venerable Duke.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM.
(From the Times)
If we were only to keep as sharp a lookout for enemies
as we do for our friends, the shores of England would,
indeed, be secure from invasion. We trust the public
will have been greatly edified by the account of all the
saluting and blazing at our gracious Sovereign, as she
steamed to and from Belgium. It is difficult to imagine
how the sense of dignity can be gratified by these ab-
surd displays. Had Queen Victoria been a pigeon let
loose from a trap in Battersea-fields she could not have
been more sedulously popped at than during her recent
cruise up and down the channel. A rumour that the
little squadron was in sight was sufficient signal for com-
mencing the display of this sulphurous loyalty. We are
at a loss to conceive what gratification could hay() re-
sulted to her Majesty from so silly a demonstration. Of
positive results, indeed, we know but two—the Waite of
kin enormous quantity of gunpowder and the mutilation
of a wretched seaman in the Scheldt.
Were any argument necessary beyond the patent ab-
surdity of the existing custom to recommend so whole-
some a change, it might be found in the fact that, while
our war ships and batteries are giving her Majesty a
series of headaches by the discharge of blank cartridges,
the. supply of powder allowed for practising gunnery is
notoriously insufficient. We teach our sailors to fire at
their Queen, but we deny them the instruction which
would enable them to fire with effect upon the Queen's
enemies.
W e canna forget that not many years since a French
ship of war steamed into Sheerness without being sa-
hited all, and that when at last the attention of the
authorities in that martial port was aroused to the
presence of their unexpected guests, they had some
considerable difficulty in carrying out the noisy cere-
monial with any decency. Surely it would be better to
expend our powder in the instruction of our sailors than
to waste it in so scandalous and useless a manner.

_
&sides, the custom must be as great a nuisance to
those illustrious personages to whom honour is intended
as it is to the iunabitants of those ports which are ae•
lected as their usual points of embarkation or return.

BILLINGSGATE MARKET.
(ruoM A CORRESPONDENT.)
When any great public building, public market, or
public .thoroughfare, &e., in; to be raised to the foun-
dation for re-construction, it is invariably the custom
that most of the material for the new building is
either already prepared, or easily accessible, before
commencing to pull asunder the old structure. These
previous preparations are made with the vie* that no
time might be lost in the re-construction of the build-
ing, that public business might not be hindered with
necessities to transact it in temporary places ; and

Billingsgate, as a public market, it appears, must
be an exception to the general rule. It is just now
about three years and three-quarters of a year since
market
the demolition of old Billingsgate
and the re-
construction of the new one on its • site commenced;
and at the present day, on viewing the market from
Lower Thames-street, it may
yet be seen that a great
deal of work has to be performed before its • final com-
pletion.
It becomes rather an awkward affair at times to
lay asi •
de an old machine, and wait until the materials
for the re-construction of a new one are manufac-
tured. An Irishman, who depended
man,
_upon the ready use of a good musket, seems to have
been aware of that fact. When Pat wanted his
musket renewed, he went to a gun.smith and said, in
accents as broad as his countrymen are famed for—
" Arrah, my honey, this musket of mine requires a
new stock, a new lock, and a new barrel ; but I must
have them almost immediately." The gunsmith
having plenty of the material on hand already manu-
factured, of course was very soon able to supply
Paddy with an entire new musket. There was a
Scotchman, too, who could not get on without a
sharp-edged instrument; he went to a cutler and said,
"Please, sir, this knife of mine requires a new handle
and a fresh blade; but as I can't well do without a
knife I will just keep this one by me until you have
completed one exactly similar to it, or you may im-
prove upon it if you can." Billingsgate-market may
be assimilated to an old boot, that bad been given to
a cobbler with directions to put on it a new top, new
front, new heel, and new sole ; but the artist has not
yet been enabled to finish more than the top, heel,
and sole—the front building next to Thames-street
has yet to be erected.
The reasons for the market not being in a more
forward state after such a lapse of time, it is difficult
to conjecture; but there are other public grievences
and eyesores in and about the market that ought to be
exposed.
That part of the building facing the river has been
finished now upwards of nine months, but the rudely
constructed, unsightly gangway at the middle of the
quay is still there, thus preventing the vessels from
being properly berthed and arranged along the quay,
and thereby prevent confusion.
The old grievance that the oyster smacks lay in one
tier alongside of each other, stretching right out into
the middle of the river, obstructing a passage for
barges, &c., is this day as prominent as it was three
years ago.
Another grievance that should be exposed is the
unwarrantable filthy state the market has been kept
in of late. The reason assigned for this neglect is
stated to be the 16-horse power engine, situate below
in the shellfish-market, is not yet in fair working
order. When it is so it will heave up a stream of
water through the fountain that will fill the large
basin which stands in the middle of the market in
about ten minutes, besides driving a large fanner
which is to ventilate the shellfish-market. The ex-
pense of keeping up this engine it is supposed will be
about 1,0001. per annum. As regards the reason as-
signed about the engine not yet being in working
order, it is correct enough, it having been inquired
into ; but that is no sufficient reason why the market
is allowed to remain unscrubbcd and unwashed for
several days together during summer weather; water
might be carried from the river in buckets, if no other
method is conveniently at hand.
Another eyesore that seems to puzzle a good many
visitors to Billingsgate is the row of houses that stand
betwixt Darkhouse-lane and the market, and which
it was supposed would be pulled down, and thus leave
an open space for carts and waggons to stand, and
prevent the overcrowding of Thames-street. It
would seem that instead of those houses coming
down, they are making erections and building about
them, which has all the appearance of en intention
that those houses are to remain as they are for a
number of years at least. After all the expense that
will have been incurred in reconstructing Billings-
gate-market, unless the whole of those houses which
stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and it are swept away,
and an open space left for carts, waggons, &c., the
market itself will be but a very poor looking affair to
the eye, nor will the inhabitants along Lower
Thames-street be relieved in the smallest degree
from their present grievance, an overcrowded state of
the street in the morning and great confusion.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

T.--Live: pool, Aug. 18.
c27o(3viriernlVßCTl.fofiffore Lord Chid Jae
tice
CAMPIULL.)
Alice Shaw, aged 23, was indicted for the wilful
murder of her new born child, at Liverpool, on the
25th of March last.
Mr. Preston prosecuted, and Mr. Monk defended
the nriioner.
It appeared that the prisoner had been housemaid
in the femily of a gentleman named Ripley, residing
in Abercrombie-square, for about five years. No sus-
picion was excited that she was in the family way.
On the morning of the 25th of March she was at
breakfast as usual, and went upstairs to attend to her '
duties. When the servants called her down to din-
ner they received no answer, and on going up stairs
they discovered the prisoner lying on the floor of one
of the rooms insensible. Mr. Nottidge, a surgeon,
was immediately called in, and discovered that she
had been recently delivered of a child. In an adjoin-
ing bedroom the newly-born body of a female child,
with a flannel handkerchief wrapped round its neck
and the tongue protruding, was found in a wash
basin. On a post nzortem examination of the child
the lungs were found to be congested. In the opinion
of the surgeon the child had been born alive, and had
died from drowning.
Mr. MoNx, for the defence, contended that the test
of the child having been born alive—that its lungs
floated, was now exploded, and there was no satisfac-
tory evidence to show that the child had ever lived.
Assuming it to have been born alive, there was no satis-
factory evidence that the prisoner had caused its
death, as she might have become insensible while at-

tempting to clean the child.
His LORDSHIP summed up, directing the jury that
if they were not satisfied that the evidence was con-
clusive as to the main charge they must acquit her,
as there was no evidence to support a verdict of con-
cealing the birth.
The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty.
James 111‘Donald, aged 18, and John illagnor,
aged 18, were indicted for a garotte robbery on James
M‘Kowne, at Liverpool, on the 23d of April last.
Mr. Simon prosecuted ; the prisoners were un-
defended.

It appeared the prosecutor was a pig and cattle
dealer, and about 12 o'clock on the night of Friday,
the 231 of April, he was proceeding towards his lodg-
ings in Upper Milk-street, when he was attacked near
there by five men, who seized him by the throat and
pinioned him. Having prevented him from making
any resistance, they robbed him of 1451. in gold and
notes, upwards of 1001. pound of it being in sove-
reigns, after which they made off.
The prosecutor, who is an Irishman, knew the men,
who were also Irish, by sight, and afterwards identi-
fied the two prisoners, who were apprehended at
Ormskirk, having changed there one of the 51. notes,
which was proved to have been paid to the prosecutor
by a man in Birmingham a few days before in a pur-
chase of some pigs.
The prisoners, in defence, said they found the pro-
secutor lying drunk under a lamp-post, and his
money lying beside him.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said it was
shocking to think bow prevalent the crime of which
the prisoners had been found guilty had become in
this part of the country, and it was necessary to make
an example of them. The sentence of the Court was
that they be transported for fifteen years.
John Dcwd was indicted for having, at Liverpool,
on the Ste of April, murdered Thomas Conway.
;tern T. Atkibson and Mr. Hibbert proscuted, and
Mr. Al'Oubray defended the prisoner.
It t.p,:ared, that on ;Saturday night, or early on
Sund2a3, morning, the sth of April, the prisoner and
the dece4s:rd had a quarrel is Albert-etree^, Toxteth-
park, the orign of the quarrel not being dearly
known. Both were drunk, and began to fight.
After having fought three or four rounds fairly, as
cle,i;ribed by several witnesses who were present, the
prisoner was seen to pull a claspknife out of his
packet, open it, and then return it into his pocket.
He then again challenged the deceased to renew the
fight, and two or three more rounds were fought.
A woman named Mary Holland interfered, and per-
suaded the deceased to fight no more. The deceased
then walked towards his home a few yards, when
he was followed by the prisoner and stabbed in the
side. The prisoner then walked sharply off, but was
followed and taken into custody by a policeman.
When apprehended he denied all knowledge of the
matter. The deceased was immediately taken to the
Southern Hospital, where he died shortly after-
wards of acute inflammation produced by the wound.
His dying declaration was taken, which in substance
stated that he and the prisoner went into a whiskey-
shop, had some drink together, and quarrelled ; that
they then went out and began to fight, and fought
several rounds, when be refused to fight any more,
and the prisoner stabbed him as he was going away.
They were both drunk at the time.
On the case being closed for the prosecution,
His LORDSHIP asked whether the counsel for the
prosecution, after this evidence, could contend that
the facts amounted to more than evidence of the
crime of manslaughter, which he thought could not
be denied by the Learned Counsel for the prisoners.
Both Counsel having assented to this view, by the
direction of his Lordship, the jury found the prisoner
Guilty of manslaughter.
He was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years
with hard labour.
Sabrina Mooney, aged 22, and Mary Mooney, her
mother, aged 60, were indicted for the murder of the
female infant child of the younger prisoner at War-
rington on the 9th of July last.
Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
John Cross, assigned by the Court, defended the
prisoners.
Is appeared that the two prisoners lived in a court
called Grimes-court, at Warrington, and that for
some weeks prior to the 9th of July last the younger
prisoner was observed to be stouter than usual. On
the 9th of July,
the night of about eight o'clock, the
younger prisoner was observed to go into the privy in
the yard, she having previously been brought home
in a cart A short time afterwards cries of
"Mother, mother, were heard to proceed front the
pri y, and a neighbour hearing them told the elder
v
•prisoner that her daughter
was crying out for her.
The mother went into the privy, and was seen after-
wards leadin her daughter away. She consulted a
g'
about her, telling her that her daughter
nheaidgbhbeoeunr
taken with a violent haemorrhage for the
first time for nine months, in consequence of a cold she
then got.
The prisoner was put to bed, but, suspi-
cion arising, the privy was afterwards searched, and
in the soil, deeply imbedded, a newly-born infant
child was found. On examination, the umbilical cord
was found -to have been broken, and the lungs ap-
have been inflated, and from other appear-
ancespeered to
surgeons called in were of opinion that the
the
child had been born alive. Tbs lungs crepitated and
floated, and port of the soil was found in the bronchial
tubes.
Dir. cross, for the defence, urged that the elder
prisoner had evidently gone only to assist her
dau rrhter, sna that the daughter had been taken in
labour in the privy, and the child bad fallen into the
soil. As to the 'laughter, however she might be
charge of endeavouring to conceal the
liable to the
birth of her child, she was not on the evidence guilty
of the cherge imputed to her.

from some townspeopole of Dartford and Greenwich,
for which ho aid bin' his commission before their
p
publication. Upon prosecutor applying for
, payment
he found that the several advertisements rorming
subject of the charge had been
ordered not to be in_
serted, the prisoner having canvassed the persons and
received special orders from them not to insert the
advertisements which be had brought to them, having
cut them from some of the local journals in which
they did advertise.
The jury found him Guilty.
. Some documents were handed tip to his Lordship,
stating ttat the prisoner had been guilty of a similar
offence towards the proprietors of the Iliaidqone
Journal.
The COURT sentenced him to six months' imprison-
ment.
James Bradshaw, 26, labourer, was indicted for
the manslaughter of Alfred Lowman, at Barking, on
the`" of July.
Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Clarkson do.
fended.

It appeared that the prisoner lived at Barking, in
Essex, and, upon the day in question, a dead horse
having to be fetched some few miles from the town,
he went for it, taking with him a little boy and a
girl for a ride. When he got to the place where the
horse was, although then somewhat " fresh," he bad
more beer,, and was, when he started to return, very
nearly drunk, and flogged the horse into a furious
gallop, and, upon turning a place called Bull-corner
at Barking, the cart upset, and threw him, the two
children, and dead horse out. The little boy fell
under the cart, and received such a fearful fracture of
the skull that his- brains came out, and he died in a
few minutes, the prisoner himself receiving such sari-
, ous injuries that for some time he was an inmate of
the London Hospital.
The several witnesses who were examined all gave
the prisoner a good character for humanity and stea-
diness of conduct.

The jury found him Guilty.
The RECORDER asked how long the prisoner had
been in prison
The prisoner said he had been ten days in the hos-
pital, and one month in gaol.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that
where persons having the command of horses urged
them to a furious speed, and any accident resulted
from it, he should, if the case came before him,
punish them most severely, as he did not know any
class of offence that evinced more recklessness as to
results, and most especially in the case of omnibus
and other public drivers. There was some difference
in this instance, and, considering what the prisoner
had already suffered, and the character he had borne,
he should order him to be further imprisoned for one
month in Newgate.
Upon this case being called in the turn it stood
upon the paper, it had to be postponed until later
in the day, one of the Learned Counsel retained in
it being then engaged in one at the Middlesex
Sessions.
His LORDSMIP said that the inconvenience caused
by the Middlesex magistrates fixing the same days
for trials as this Court was very great, and there
ought to be some alteration in the system. It was
most improper, quite unnecessary, and very unjust
to the bar.

Several gentlemen of the bar said they felt the in-
convenience very much, and hoped that there would
soon be some alteration.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.)
Charles Collins, 62, publisher, a respectable look-
ing old man, was indicted for stealing a case of four
portraits, valued at 101, the property of Antonio
Claudet.

Mr. W. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson
defended.

The prisoner in this case had gone to the 'prosecu-
tor, who is the well-known daguerreotype artist of
Regent-street, and, under pretence that he was pub-
lishing a portrait gallery of the aristocracy and
others, borrowed the case of likenesses, which were
never returned, and subsequently found to have been
pawned.
The evidence failing to prove that the pictures had
been given to the prisoner in the first instance, his
Lordship directed an acquittal.
He was then indicted for stealing a daguerreotype
portrait, the property of Robert Hogg.
The prosecutor, who was the American daguer2eq-
type artist, and proprietor of the miniature gallf,ry,
432, West Strand, proved that the prisoner camp to
him with a similar tale, and after having some busi-
ness transactions, one of which was getting him to
true the likeness of Mr. Charles Salisbury Butler,
M.P., he obtained the portrait in question, which was
also pawned.
In cross•exemination this witness said he did not
know whethar he gave the portrait to the prisoner or
his son.

The prisoner was Acquitted.
A third indictment was then gone into for stealing
a portrait valued at 51., the property of Lord Sandys.
This case was also enveloped in the same mystery
An application for the same purpose as above stated
was made, the prisoner introducing himself by letter;
this was last year; and when the prisoner was taLzen
into custoo, among the duplicates found on him was
one relating to the portrait (an oil painting) in ques-
tion ; but how it had found its way from his Lord-
ship's mansion in Curxon-street, May-fair, to the
pawnbroksr's could not be unravelled, no one recol-
lecting its being given to the prisoner.
An Acquittal was taken in this case.
Inspector A Cumming said there were about fifty
more cases against him if the parties would have pro.
wilted. The prisoner had carried on the game :for
some years in all parts of the country, and had de-
frauded hundreds, the value of the portraits being
some thousands, and persons so defrauded had sent up
money to redeem their portraits.
William Warley, 39, tinplateworker, was ludic led
for feloniously wounding Nathan Defries, with in-
tent, &c.
Mr. Ballantine prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock
fended.
The prosecutor, a gas engineer and dry meter
maker, stated that in June last prisoner worked for
two days in his shop, for which he demanded pay-
ment. Prosecutor referred him to his cashier, telling
him that his pay-day was Friday. On Tuesday, the
6th of July, prisoner went to the counting-house of
the factory in Diana-place, and said he had come for
his money. Witness said that be knew nothing of it,
and rang the bell for his foreman, whom be asked if
anything was due. The foreman said there was not,
but by their rules the prisoner owed them money for
spoiling some work. The foreman then went away,
leaving prisoner, who said, " You don't mean to p.;ty
me? Then, I'll pay you," and immediately took a
mallet from his side pocket, and, brandishing it 'to
take a sure aim, struck him with all his force on the
head and ran away. Witness called " Murder," an d
tried to follow, but the blood spirted like a fountain
from the wound, a fearful one just above the left ea.r,
and prosecutor fainted. When he recovered he wis
at the doctor's, and the prisoner was in the hands pf
the police.
It further appeared that the same morning the pri-
soner had threatened to do for the prosecutor if h e
did not pay him. The foreman had heard his mas -
ter's cries, and ran after the prisoner, who was running
away as fast as he could. When in the hands of the
police he said he was sorry for what he had done.
On behalf of the prisoner it was stated thatd
had a
he had
an
always been a quiet, well-behaved man,
wife and family.
The jury found him Guilty, recommending him to
mercy.
He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and
hard labour.
In the course of the day true hills wore foun(il
against Lord Frankfort and Mary Taylor for misde-
meanour, and, upon the application of Mr. Giffard, 2.
warrant was issued for the woman, who it was saki
had absconded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE.
Mr. H. Sewell, of the Mansion-house, who ote
Sunday last, in consequence of instructions which he
hed received from the Lord Mayor and Alderman
Finnis, accompanied to Liverpool the emigrants who,
complained of the delay in the sailing of the City of
Lincoln, bound for Port Philip, for the purpose of
making satisfactory arrangements for their departure,
reported to his Lordship upon the subject. He had,
he said, the satisfaction to state that the vessel had,
since the reported insolvency of the former holder,
fallen into the hands of Mr. Bates, a man of respect-
ability, who not only released her from her embar-
rassments, hut paid the greatest attention to the com-
forts of the poor passengers ; and that Lieutenant
Pryor, of the Government Emigration Office of Li-
verpool, had testified to the excellent condition of the
articles of food which came under his supervision
officially in the ship. Ile had promised to convey to
his Lordship the emigrants' warm expression of gra-
titude for the prompt and effective measures adopted
by the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnic to obtain
for them reparation for the delay, and security as to
their proper accommodation during their voyage.
They had given three cheers for the City magistrates
when he was leaving the vessel, which was to sail at
twelve o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday). Mr.
Sewell also said he was gratified in stating that the
Prince Alfred emigrant vessel, concerning the delay
of which complaint bad been also made at the Man-
sion-house, had gone through the Downs, and that all
the passengers on board had been amply accommo-
dated and provided for.
The Loup MAYOU said that he and his. brother
alderman felt the most sincere gratification in car-
rying out the object of the Emigration Commission-
ers to the fullest extent. The claims upon the ener-
getic exertions of the magistracy had increased in
proportion to the numerous departures to foreign
countries, and the public might rely upon the strictly
impartial performance of the duties of the alderman
at a time when more than usual vigila ce was ne-
cessary.
Edward Wilson, a well-dressed fellow, was
charged with stealing three tumblers, a salt cellar,
and a spoon, in an eating-house in Bow-lane.
The prisoner dined in the house, and after haying
remained there between two and three hours, was
walking out, when the waitress, who had recollected
him from a former visit which proved unprofitable to
her, stopped him, and asked him to lighten his burden,
he did in a moment, at the same time begging
pardon for the mistake. The prisoner had in his pocket
nt
a couple of shoe-brushes, which he had in the morn-
ing stolen from another house.
He 'was forthwith sentenced to imprisonme and
hard labour for two months.
The Loup navou said he had received
a commu-
lts
nication from the chaplain to the Gi our-street
it
Compter, which, as related to a reformed criminal,
he thought could not he announced in
than the justice-room from which t a better place
e reclaimed per'

19. 1852

son had been sent to the extreme tribunal. I❑ his
Lordship's opinion the chaplain's humanity had fixed
upon a case possessing strong claims upon those who
had power as well as vviil to do good. It was as fol-
lows :—The mother of a reformed criminal Vi a 3
anxious to get out to America to join her son. The
boy was trained to crime by his own father, who was
convicted in the same case. At the close of his im-
prisonment the unfortunate boy was sent to a refuge,
and after some months probation cent out to America
by Lord Shaftesbury, assisted by the Sheriff's fund.
That tock place in April, 1850. Since that time he
has gone well, and is now, to use the chaplain's lan

•
guage, « I believe an upright and conscientious man.
He has written to say that, if his mother can be sent
out, and also a brother who is imbecile and unable to

earn a living, he will provide for them both. His
mother has herself always been a respectable woman,
but now is reduced to earn a precarious subsistence
by waistcoat making, and is a widow in her 58th
year, her husband having died in prison." To the
correctness of the statement the chaplain expressed his
great willingness to bear testimony, upon application
at the Giltapur-street Compter or the Mansion-house.

the country is favourable for the construction of a ship

believed that the tolls derived from the canal would
ultimately amply compensate the Government for the
outlay which would be rtquired. This has proved to be
the. case with the Louisville canal, and, although the.
navigation through the proposed canal would Dot

CRYSTAL PALACE IN BATH.
A project has been started for the erection of a CrYstli_
Palace in Bath. An elevation and sections of tbe h911u,..
ing were exhibited at the last meeting of the Botcut_
tural Society; and we have since been favourer.lvil.llll2:l
private inspection of them by the originator, 'l° •
Peacock, architect, of this city. The site proposed°
the Sydney Gardens; the eastern side of the open sPac. :
has been chosen with the especial view of preseroe.r9
the noble central avenue. The building, like the orr
ginal Crystal Palace, consists of a nave and transePri;
the nave is 144 feet long and 48 feet wide, and the Si;
sept is 96 feet long, 48 feet wide, and 70 feet high. dAn
outside is supported by ornamental iron buttresses, - _
several improvements are introduced in the construct
tion. Such a building wculd undoubtedly be s great
addition to the amusements of the city, forming, as it
might in the summer, the scene of horticultural slur,
other exhibitions, and in winter a promenade and 111 A
den. We need scarcely add, that tbe formation 0
~...
winter garden is a desideratum in a city which is tag r
sort. of veletudinarians. The cost of th© bailding oil
estimated at 6,0001.; and it is proposed to form a c° 51,
many, and to raise the amount in 1,200 shares CI a
each. There is this recommendation of the affair 110,A
speculation, that if the returns from the building 51137
not he remunerative, it might easily be removed and
nod for a palm house or other purpose. We understa
_.
that Messrs. Fox end Henderson ,hare agreed to erfkv;
the building, and render it fit for use, in twelve wEeeee
trona the day of its commencement; and be beieve.
may add that there is much probability ef the desigal
being accomplished. Mr. Peacock conteniplates severa...
works in connexion with the building, such as the cor a.
doe of fountains in front of Sydney .Elotel; the f°,l'd be
tion of a museum, to which the Gothic Hall vioa• „are
appropriated, and generally the renovation of tbosced
61MS. We heartily wish him success in the spirited it
exertions he is making to carry out his project, el"
