TIIE,NEW CUSTOM -HOUSE.-ff-1 tic external part
'of the Nrew Cusuim-Honse is now nearly finished.
It is erected on a more extensive plan than tlie
former edifi,ce,-and better suited to the increased
business of • a commercial -country. The rooms
are spacious and well arranged, for the distinct
offices of so extensive an establishment. In the
construction of this building, plainness and soli-
diff,r fOrin the most striking feature. There-is no
attempt at introdUcing that mixed and incon-
gruous style of ornament, which too oftim per-
vades modern architecture—it is nut yet without a
tasteradecorative
At a late County Meeting, held on the 26th ult.
at BeAnmaris; Xnglesea, resolutionS were en-
tered into, to raise subscriptions througLout
North Wales, for the purpose of erecting an
-obelisk on n conspicnOns spot, within view of
Plas-Newydd, (the mansion of the Marquis of
ANGLE c.l, in that islainl) to commethorate the
achievements of that gallant Officer in the Field
of Waterloo.
We. understand that two original documents,.
of cinisikrable interest, as connected with the
of this country, have been recently dis-
' covered. ,They consist of the Charter' granted by
WILLI xm the Conqueror, on his founding Battle
Abbey, in Sussex, in fulfilment of his vow pre-
vious to-the Battle of Hastings ; am: of the Char-
ter of HENRY I. confirniing anti extending the pri-
vileges of the .A.libey. Copies of both are ,to be
foitud in the " MoTtstica," but the originals were
long. since supposed to have been lost.
