The Charing-Cross Railwa3 Terminus.

The structure, with all the rest of the works connected
with it, the hotel excepted, is fast approaching completion,
and when finished will be one of the most extensive build-
ings of the kind in the metropolis, as it will be among the
most convenient to the public. The frontage of the
edifice will stand back from the line of the Strand about
120 ft., leaving a fine open space opposite the Church of
St. Martin.in-the-fields, and affording commodious ap-
proaches to the station. The building, when complete, will
occupy the whole of the ground east and west between
Craven and Villiers streets, a distance of nearly 300 ft., and
backward to the margin of the river; in other words, it will
take in the entire site of what used to be Hungerford-mar-
ket, and a great deal of the adjacent property besides. The
general plan of the station includes, as its most conspicuous
feature, a hotel of magnificent proportions, which is being
erected from designs by Mr. E. M. Barry, the architect.
This part of the building will present a front of five storys
towards the Strand, with a wing of equal elevation, occupy-
ing the greater part of the western side of Villiers-street.
The hotel is being built of stone and white bricks, orna-
mented here and there with terracotta. The Strand front
will be surmounted by two lofty towers, one at each end,
and have a pointed roof somewhat like that of the West-
minster Falace Hotel. The terminus itself will be covered
by a lofty roof of iron an I glass, with a span of about 170tt,
and similar in appearance and mode of construction to that
of the New-street station of the London and North-Western
Railway at Birmingham. Nearly the whole of the basement
story fronting the Strand will be devoted to bookinz offices,
w:tiring-roms, paces of entrance and exit, and the like,
elegant roof or awning projecting over the foot and
::1171e yvAy ou,side. The principal entrance to the hotel
will be by a handsnme portico at the corner of Villiers-
street. Mr. Luflas is the contracetnorewfoermthpelemyteicslo.nsreymo the i
