BILLINGSGATE MARKET.

The great increase of business at the above market having
rendered au enlargement necessary, and the altered nature
of the trade occasioned by the transit by rail instead of
water rendering the old Billingsgate dock comparatively
useless, the corporation of London determined to enclose and
appropriate that spot to the extension, and accordingly
during the past summer the foundation stone was laid of a
building, which is to be in the Italian style of architecture,
from the design of Mr. Bunning, the City architect.
The works have latterly, like the new gaol at Holloway,
been transferred from the original contractor to Mr. Jay, the
builder, under whom they have rapidly progressed.
A river wall of great strength formed of Hayter granite,
of the length of 165 feet, has been raised to the height of
about three; feet above the level of the Custom-house espla-
nade, upon which is being carried up the beautiful super-
structure of the river front (already advanced to the height
of one story), and which when complete, will display in the
centre a noble Campanile tower, 80 feet high, and at either
side a colonnade, each terminating with a handsome building
or wing, to be used as officest'for the clerk of the market, in-
sPtor of fish, and oyster meters. The whole of this pile
will beof red brick, with elegant granite and Portland stone
uressings.
A portion of the flats over the colonnades and part of the
tower will be
iron
laid with Claridge's Asphalte of Seyssel, and
the fronts on
each side of the tower will exhibit stone pedes-
tala and cast
j)nataanels pierced in elegant patterns.
The arrangera
paved area for the sale
in the rear will comprise a spacious

covered with a protecting roof of

street, where is to be erected in the same
whole de
architec-
ture a lofty range of warehouses, with cranes style of
cranes
raising the fish which arrive by the vans , attached for

several arched colonnades, which form the approach to the
market.
It is expected that Mr. JaT will complete the river front
by July next, and the whVie Jar
