Tun ASSOCIATION FOR IIUPROVING THE DWEL-
LINGs OF THE WORKING CLASSES.—This
another edifice, built by Mr. Grimidell for this associa-
tion, fur 234 single men, in Spicer-atteet, Spitalfields,
was publicly opened, and possesses many conveniences,
consisting of separate bedchambers, lavoratories, an ex-
tensive kitchen, with ample ranges, boilers, laundries,
drying rooms, and every domestic appurtenance of a
large and well-regulated establishment. The entire
structure is warmed by hot air, and a comprehensive
system of ventilation by duplicate floors is adapted to
each apartment. There is likewise a large coffee-room,
of lofty structure, reading rooms, smokinc, rooms, sepa-
rate safes and keys for the food of each individual; and
indeed nothing has been overlooked which could con-
tribute to the social condition of its future occupants.
There is likewise another pile of buildings, built by the
Messrs. Piper for sixty families, in which each suit of
apartments is complete in itself, double doors opening
upon the common landing place, after the manner of
chambers in our inns of court, kith the addition of
having many domestic comforts within reach, and that
immunity from fire to which the Temple and other
similarly constructed buildings have been so frequently
subject to. This security from fire we look upon as an
all-absorbing consideration, for it is fearful to contem-
plate its visitation in structures of so great an altitude
(six stories), and where so many lives are at its mercy.
In the present case we are freed from alarm, the fire-
proof principle of the Messrs Fox and Barrett having
been adopted throughout, which it would appear the
management have been euablod to do, from the fact of
its economy over the ordinary flJoring being added to
its more vital recoaimendatiocs, and the consideration
that a building thus raised, being,free from ordinary con-
tingencies, may ba looked upou as almost a perpetual
estate. Mr. W. Beck, of London. is the architect of
both edifices, and it should be added that there will be a
school-room for the children in this latter building.
Morals can never be very pure where manners are
defective.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

MONNY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 12 per which, at the English Mint puke of 31.175.
lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exeli:ingc of
25.45; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25.474, it follows that gold is 0.10 per #ccat.
dearer in London than in Paris. Dy advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the
exchange at litimburgh on London at short being
13.124, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent, dearer in
London than in liamburigh.
