As a proof:, of; this assertion -it may be added that
the wires for the Irish inland. lines are at present at
the Ulster hallway terminus ; that the wires
for the County Down line are 'elto at the County DoWn'Railway -Company's -terminus ; and that the
cables for immersion across the Channel are at Gates-
head, at -the` ' Messrs,: _Nowalr,a works, undergoing the
spiral laying of the iron wire which is-to encase
.them., Inside the external iron wire • casing is a •
coating of gntta percha, in which the wires were
enclosed by Mr. Statham, of the Gutta retells
Company, ' some time since. The i process' at
the Messrs. Newall's must be nearly, if -not already com-
pleted; and, on that being done, and the wires tested, it
only remains to, carry.the rope to the harbour, and lay it
across. That this final operation will be attended with no
diecOmfiture thitskill and ability can avert, is sufficiently
guaranteedly the success attending on the great achieve-
ment of the Dover and Calais Submarine Telegraph—an
enduring monument of their ability in-coping with and
overcoming obstacles which; to other eyes, seem well
nigh impossible. That the company are entitled to
every respect and confidence .we can assure our readers.

distinct and several placer." These st uart
sometimes varied, and in the time of Stow are by wereh
described as follows:—" The
lane and the Old Exchange are now for the most part
removed into the south side of the West-Cheap. The
pepperers and grocers, of Soper-lane, are now in Buck-
lersbury and other places dispersed. The drapers of
Lombard-street and of Cornhill are seated in Candle-
wick-street and Watling-street. The skinners from St.
Mary Pellipus, or at the Axe, into Bridge-row and Wail-
brook. The stock fishmongers in. Thames-street, wet
fishmongers in Knight Rider-street and Bridge-street,"
&c. &c. Befere the settlement of the various crafts into
rows of shops, they depended for the sale of their goods
to a great extent on the regular fairs, which were then
the principal means of traffic. At that period Bucklers-
bury and other localities of the several trades would
consist of a sort of village of rude dwellings, in which
the workmen carried forward their trades. In course
of time some of the more active or skilful would exhibit
specimens of their manufactures outside the doors and
at the windows of their homes. Some would then add
a stall covered, as a means of defence from the weather.
These would gradually give place to permanent erections,
projecting from the dwelling, similar to those we see in
Aldgate-street, High-street, Camden Town, and other
places where private houses have been altered for the
purposes of trade. Two or three of the shops in Fleet:-
street, near the Temple, have-been little etmeged except
by the introduction of glass, &a, since the time of James
I. Orir-readers passing that way may notice the heavy
projection and small windows peculiar to the period.

DRIURY-1.-.AN E--Tff.EA-eTIiE.
A general meeting of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane
Company of Proprietors took place on Saturday, in the
• saloon of the theatre, to receive the annual report of the
committee; Mr. B. B. Cabbell, M.P., presided.
The report stated that the committee wore under the
necessity:et announcing that Mr. Bunn basing declined

since June last, the theatre had
nott
been let h
at

ated at the previous meeting. Those advantages,
aie
therefore, which would have resulted to the proprietors
had the theatre been conducted by so experienced a ma-
nager as Mr. Bunn, had not been- realised. That gen-
tleman on taking the theatre had bad manyierious dif-
ficulties to surmount, and a very heavy expenditure to
incur, which. had been materially increased by the
limited period allowed for the completion of the works.
The decoration of the theatre and the whole preparation
of the opening had been effected by Mr. Bunn within
the short space of ten days, which was all the commit-
tee could allow him by their agreement. tinder
these circumstances the committee had been unable
to .meet the current expenses of the season in
fall, while the lessee remained unremunerated
for hie outlay; but that outlay, which had been very
considerable, remained for the benefit of the pro.
prietors. Negotiations were under consideration to
enable the committee to offer the theatre to another
tenant, and confident hepes , were entertained that they
would be able to effect that desirable end. Advertise-
ments had been inserted with a view of letting it, and ae
treaty was negotiating on the subject,
of the report no result had been arrived at. The
