:;etlinal Green is not a. pleasant su'airl, of London, and
inindrit:ints, with few exceptions, appear to suffer from
chronic state of squalor. Wednesday afternoon, how-
-as well might be the case, seeing that the
conedy fur much of the evil existing in the district
'els Leen supi!lied—the whole neighbourhood was en
,';'te. The site of the new market, which will insure to the
district a con,tant supply of fresh moat, vegetables, milk,
nil w floers, coniists of a couple of acres of ground to the
set of the Heaney-re:A, and in close proximity to Shore-
-1:1C. Imre!, 'limo buildings comprising the market
quadr angular group in the early geometrical style of
cture. Rising high above the rest of the structure
s the market hall, stretching before which is a large open
;ard surrounded by iron railings. The approach to this
mall is by a I:,fty flight of steps and through an arched
loorway. Over the latter are two colossal figures of angels
with extended wings, and scrolls in their hands
nscribed with scriptural n ottoes. The size of the ball is
104 feet by 50, with an altitude of 50 feet. In the centre
quadrangle is a clock tower, 115 feet high. Near the
minuet are two gigantic figures of solid cedar, which will
eKentuallyl.e employed to strike the chimes. The quadrangle
paved with blue-tinted granite, crossed with lines of red
s,rcaded blocks of buildings, 210 ft. long by 45ft. in width,
:un round the side of the quadrangle. It is here the shops
fire situated. The buildings are four storeys high, in-
:luding the basement. The wings are four storeys high,
exclusive of their basements, which are cellared for
narket purposes. In one wing is " The Sir
'rancis Burdett Coffee-house and Dining-rooms,"
Nhile another is devoted to the sale of un-
Ldulterated beer. The other wings are occupied
as residences of a rather higher class. All the buildings are
!substantial and ornamental, the walls being of yellow
prick, relieved with terracotta and Portland stone, stud
he roofs covered with Cumberland slates of a delicate
;rem colour. In the market hall slabs of polished Irish
marble, very hard and of close grain, are employed, as
being conducive to cleanliness. Almost all the external
woodwork is of teak. It is five years since the market was
2ummenced.

The Courts Mart ::1 Royal Commission have re-
commended the abolition of branding in the services.

The return just issued shows that in 1868 there

The scrutiny at Bcwdley was gone into on Wednes-
lny. Four votes were struck off by the petitioner for non-
residence, and one as disqualified in consequence of being a
constable for the borough. The scrutiny is proceeding.
From inquiries which have teen instituted
the feeling has become strengthened that the fire
Ivii!ch destroyed the church of Al Saints iu Savoy-square
-yes the work of an incendiary. Some time since there were
-lots at the church, and much alarm.was at that time created.
These riots arose out of ritualistic practices which were iv-.
troduced there, and which, as was commonly the MO ti that
created m. cli ill-feeling in the district.

Mr. Henry Bingham Baring, who aied recently
at Cannes, was the eldest son of the late Mr. Henry

I ADVERTlgNMENT.]—llolloway's Pills.—The Grand Re-
quisites.—Nobody will deny the assertion that for man's
comfort and happiness pure blood and a sound stomach
rank among the first requirements. Both may be safely
and inexpensively secured by these admirable Pills, which
act gently on the weakest frames, and cause no violent
shock to the most sensitive nervous system. Holloway's
Pills have proved themselves competent to deal constitu-
tionally with those infirmities which descend from parent
to offspring, which often mar the brightest prospects and
throw a constant gloom over youth. These Pills purify
both the solids and fluids of the body, and by that salutary
process rouse every organ to perform naturall3 its proper
function, and strengthen every nerve for its proper duty.

reported in the paper:, in which the most diiloyal senti-
ments were uttered ; and al:o inquire what course the

THE RIOT AT LONDONDERRY.

Mr. C. FORTESOUE, in reply to Sir P. Renate, said
lie had received a telegram with respect to the subject,
but, with the exception of confirming the published re-
ports of the riot, it did nut contain any additiot.al infor-
mation. The tAegram to which he had referred stated
that a riot had takcn place and that two lives bad been
sacrificed.
ASSASSINATION OF CAPTAIN CARLETON.

An HON. MEMBER asked if any information h lid been
received relative to the assassination of Captain Carleton,
in the neighbourhood of Athlone.

yet received any further information.
AGRARIAN OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY AND
• IV ESTMEAT

Lord J. MANNERS asked the Ohief.Seeretary for
Ireland if it was the intention of the Government to take
any steps, or propose any measures for the better security
of life in the counties of Westmeath and Tipperary ?
Mr. C. FORTESOUE said the noble lord had so framed
his question as to lead to the inference that these agrarian
outrages were confined to the two counties mentioned.
That was some consolation. The subject, ho could assure
the noble lord, had engaged the most serious attention of
the Government, and thero was nothing in the power of
the Government they would not do to put down these
outrages. The provisions of the Peace:Preservation Act
with respect to the possession of arms and the stationing
an extra force of c3nstables, and charging the expenses of
the same to the places in which they would be called upon
to do duty, would be put into operation ; but beyond that
he hopod the house would not think it desirable that he
should state the other steps the Governmeut had deter-
mined to take—(hear, bear)—with the view of put-
ting down these dangerous and hateful crimes. The last
but one of these outrages he did not think could be con-
sidered of an agrarian character, but with respect to the
last he was not able to give any further information than
that he had already communicated to the house.
