ANTWERP EXCHANGE.
The design for covering the heretofore open, area of
the Exchange at Antwerp, by M. Charles Marcellis, is
now being carried out. The quadrangle to be covered
is about 138 feet long, and 102 feet wide (it has been
usually called larger), and M. Mareellis is forming the
roof, in two springs, if w© may so term it, wholly of
cast-iron and glass, carried on twelve pillars, also of
iron, placed against the ancient struoture. The height
of these pillars is about 33 foot; the height from the
floor to the underside of the oval rim against which the
twelve main ribs abut, and from which rises the central
cupola, is about 57 feet, and the total height in the
centre is about 94 feet. The oval opening is about 30
feet, on the longer axis, and 20 feet the shorter. The
ribs, it will be peen, continue above this, forming ex-
ternally a conical roof on an upright base, with a series.
of crocheted pinnacles around it. It must be remembered
that a building about 23 feet wide, forming a covered
1 ambulatory, with rooms above, Surrounds the quadrangle.
The two ribs of the new construction, in the centre of
each side, have ties running over this building, and the
whole of the ribs aro connected at the foot by other ties.
Quite recently M. Marcellia has endeavoured to lead the
authorities to re• erect the Bourse entirely, and has pub-
iished a design for it founded on the old structure, bat
wholly of iron, together with a series of able pamphlets
in support of his views. He did not succeed, however,
in obtsioiug their acquiescence, and we will not say we
are sorry for it.--Builder.

:ASSAULT BY A FISH.—The Paris Tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police is frequently called upon to award damages
for injuries inflicted by dogs and other animals, for which the
owners are civilly responsible, but it is rather a novel thing
for it to be called on to do so in the case of a fish. Such, how-
ever, was the case on Saturday, when a dealer in shellfish at
the fish-market was summoned by a Madame Grebuchet, who
claimed 30i. damages for the injury caused to her nose by
one of the defendant's lobsters. The plaintiff, wishing to re-
gale her husband with a tit-bit for his dinner, went to the
market, and was bargaining for a lobster, which she took up
in her hand, but threw it down again, saying it was not fresh.
The dealer protested that it was alive, but Madame Grebuchet
assertedthe contrary, and that it even stunk. To satisfy her-
self that such was the case, she a second time applied her nose
to it, when the lobster, as if in defence of its owner's veracity,
seized hold of Madame Grebuchet's nose with its claw, and held
it fast. She screamed for assistance, but, instead ofimmediately
rendering it, the dealer and her companions around burst out
into a laugh, and it was some little time before the nose of
the lady could be released. The fishwoman in her defence
maintained that she was not to blame, and that the mischief
was solely caused by the imprudence of Madame Grebuchet,
in applying her nose so close to the lobster's claw, when she
had been told that it was alive ; and the Tribunal taking the
same view of the case, the complaint was dismissed, and the
plaintiff ordered to pay the costs.

NATIONAL SHIPWRECK INSTITIITION.—An extra•
ordinary general meeting of this institution was held on
Thursday, at the offices in John-street, to consider certain
alterations in the rules and regulations of the society, Mr.
Thomas Wilson, late M.P. for London, in the chair. Tice rules
having been read seriatim, various alterations were proposed
and agreed to, and the minutes of the previous meeting
having been confirmed, it was resolved that a new life-boat
sh-uld be placed at Bideford, to replace the one stationed
there by the institution in 1830. A reward of 4/. 10s. was
Lranted for saving a portion of the crew of the brig Amy, of
ondon, wrecked a short time since, near Barry's Cove, on
the coast of Cork; the brig, having struck on a rock, im-
mediately went to piece.sr and out of a crew of 18 persons
only three were saved. Three coast gaardsmerr, seeing the
unfortunate situation of the shipwrecked men, descended a
stupendous cliff, tied ropes round their bodies, and gently
hauled them up, with the assistance of several countrymen.
The poor men were found to be quite exhausted and almost
naked. Some other formal business having been transacted, I
the proceedings closed. •

Only twenty public Acts have received the Royal
assent, and thirty-four local Acts, in the present session,
which commenced on the 3d of Febrnary—just four months,
