THE NEW FLEET MARKET.

The old Fleet Market was opened to the public
in 1737, the ground which it occupies being pre*
viously to that period a muddy ditch. The great in'
crease of trade, and the growing importance of that
portion of the city, has long made it desirable to re-
move the old market and substitute another, coat-
pining more space for the distribution of the several
branches of trade established in it, and bring it in
such a situation as not to impede the communica'
tion from two such frequented thoroughfares as Hal'
born and Blackfriars-bridge. These advantage
will, we think, be realized in the new market. The
space of ground purchased for its erection is very
considerable, reaching from the present Fleet Market,
which it immediately adjoins, through Stonecutters''
street to Shoe-lane, East and `Vest; and from South
to North, from-the corner of Stonecutters'-street 50
the other side of the poor-house of St. Andrew'"
parish, running from thence, East and West, again
into old Fleet Market. The plan of the building
will embrace three sides of a square. The North,
towards Holborn, as well as the Western and
Eastern sides, trill he occupied by shops without anY
upper floor, and the Western side, towards Stone-
cutters'-street, will be left open to view, but protected
by an iron railing. The centre will be an open
space, appropriated to the purposes of a vegelahle
market. On the side approaching to Fleet Market.;
there is to be a basement story, as the ground fall
considerably from Shoe-lane. This will be air
proached from the inside front by several flights Of
stone-steps, distributed at intervals; and in the
centre of that line, opening to Fleet Market, will be
an entrance for carts and waggons, up an incline'l
mound of earth. On the Shoe-lane side three en-
trances are to be formed, and an equal number on
the side of Stonecutters -street. Shoe-lane, in front
of the market, will be widened to forty feet.
Al-
ready several of the buildings in the market are
raised a few feet above the foundation. The build-
ing is proceeding steadily on the eastern end wester°
sides. A vast accumulation of building material;
has been collected in the ground, and the portion °
space to be applied to the new market, yet °cell:
pied by houses, is about to be immediately cleared'
The whole will, it is expected, be completed in about
twelve months.

LARGE MELON.—On Monday, a melon of
the netted species, was cut in the garden of Sir Cicala°
HALKET, Pittman, which weighed 19 lbs. This is CO!
sidered to be among the largest melons ever grown on
Scotland, and our horticultural friends may see it at 00
office.— Scotsman.

A great number of labourers are at present
busily employed in reducing another portion of Blythes-
wood hill to a level with the part formerly cut. As the
present cut is through the most elevated part of the hill,
(with the exception of what is occupied by Blytheswood"
square) the trouble and expence must be greater than for-
merly. The once beautiful bill of Blytheswood promisee
soon to be covered entirely with buildings.— Glasgow
Chronicle.

OYSTEns.—After the month of May it 15
felony to carry away from oyter-beds the calteh or spawu,
adhering to stones or to oyster-shells ; and punishable to
take any oysters, except those not less than the size of a
half-crown piece, or such as, when the two shells are shut►
will admit of a shilling rattling between them. The liquor)
of the oysters, it may be remarked, contains incredible
multitudes of small embryo oysters, covered with their •
tiny shells, perfectly transparent, and swimming nimbly
about, to make amends, perhaps, for the sluggish life which
they are subsequently doomed to lead. One hundred of these
embryo oysters, if placed in a row, would not extend one
inch. Besides these, the liquor is said to contain a groat
number of animalcules, five hundred times less i❑ size,
which emit a phosphoric light. The list of inhabitants,
however, dons not conclude here ; tor, besides these last
mentioned, there are three distinct species of worms (cello'
oyster-worms), half an inch long, and which shine in the
dark like the glow-worm. The sea-stars (Asterite),
cockles, and mussels, are the great enemies of the oyster'
The first gets within the shell when it gapes, and sucks out
the inhabitant. While the tide is flowing, oysters lie with
the hollow of their shells downwards; but when it ebbs,
they turn on the other side.
