kind reception at the Sailors' Home, where they soon found
the comfort of such a refuge after many hours' exposure in
a bitter cold N.E. wind. It is not known by the crew what

THE NEw STREET CONNECTING COVENT-GAR-
DEN WITH THE WEST-END.—Yesterday the materials of
the remaining houses and buildings in Rose-street, Long-
acre, and St. Martin's-lane, the sites of which are required
for the western approach to Covent-garden, were sold by
Messrs. Pullen and Son, auctioneers to the Metropolitan
Board of Works. The materials of the houses in Rose-
street, although old and in a dilapidated condition, realised
large prices, and consisted of bricks, oak wainscoting, and
staircases, and a very great weight of lead. The new street
when finishel will be of considerable importance to growers
of garden produce, as it will form a direct line to and f
vege-
from
the western roads, by which the largest quantity o
tables are conveyed to the metropolis. It is fully es acted
that the approach will be completed and opened as a public
1 thoroughfare about the middle of April.
