THE TOWER AND SPIER—OFST. DUNSTAN'S, TOWER-
STREET.—There is a tradition that the plan of the tower
and spire, suggested by St. Nicholas, at Newcastle, was
furnished by the daughter of the great City architect—
Jane Wren, who died in 1702, aged 26, and was buried
under the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral. And if female
talent was thus enlisted in the production of the airy
spire before us, female benevolence was not wanting in
the completion of the structure. To the honour of Lady
Dionysia Williamson's memory be it told, that she, in
1670, gave 4,0001. (an enormous sum in those days) to-
wards the building. On the occasion of the dreadful
storm which raged in London through the night of the
26th November, 1703, until the morning, Wren, on
hearing that some of the steeples and pinnacles in the
City had suffered serious injury, observed that he felt
sure of finding St. Dunstan's tower and spire secure.—

NEW QUARTER SESSIONS ACT.—To-morrow, the
Ist November, the new Act to amend the procedure in
courts of general and quarter sessions of the peace in
England and Wales, and for the better advancement of
justice in cases within the jurisdiction of those courts,
will come into force. Its object is to make the law in
cases of appeal to quarter-sessions more uniform. This
Act will avoid technicalities, and establish one practice
throughout England and Wales. It will also establish
uniformity of time (at least fourteen days) in notices of
appeals allowed by the Act. The grounds of appeal
must be stated in writing, which statements can after-
wards be amended. Sessions have now a general power
to give costs in all cases of appeal; and, to prevent fri-
volous appeals, costs may also be awarded after notice,
although an appeal be not prosecuted. By this statute
power is given, after notice of appeal, by consent of the
parties, and by order of a judge (without going to the
sessions), to state the facts of a case in the form of a
special case, for the opinion of a superior court, and the
judgment of the same to be entered at the sessions.
With the view of enforcing orders of sessions, it is pro-
vided by this Act, that proceedings may be removed
into the Queen's Beech, and be enforced as a rule of
that court, and all the reasonable costs attendant upon
such application shall be recovered as if the same were
part of the order. This Act does not extend to all
appeals, and further improvements on the same subject
are t xpected in the next sessicn. The 13111 was framed
by Mr. Baines, the President of the Poor-law Board; it
is now a statute of the United Kingdom.
SANITARY PRECAUTION.--Tue burial ground of
the district church of Christ Church, Westminster, re-
cently closed by order of the General Board of Health,
was yesterday covered with quick lime to the depth 01
three inches, with the view of counteracting any offers
sire odours arising therefrom.
