On Saturday, as some workmen were engaged in excavating the
ground adjoining the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, Gresham
street, City, for the formation of a sewer which is to be con-
tinued to Guildhall, they found the original Roman wall,
which was constructed previous to the ancierit Roman
wall, which passed along London-wall, and proceeded
to the Tower of London. The wall was at a depth of
about twelve feet from the surface, and was composed of
Kentish rags, chalk, and Roman tiles, firmly cemented together.

THE NEIGIIBOURHOOD OF NEW ST. PANCRAS
Ceiracn.—ln a case of no interest, which occurred this morning
at Cltrkenwell Police.court, Mr. Greenwood, for the third time,
took occasion to remark upon the neighbourhood of St.
.Pancras
New Church. The magistrate said that this place was infested by
prostitutes and the very lowest characters. To such an extent had
the nuisance react.ed, that genteel females were afraid to walk
there, and the neighbourhood bad now become so notorious as a
place cf resort for these persons, that the value of houses in that
otherwise most respectable locality had been much depreciated,
and if the nuisance were not suppressed no respectable family would
live in it. Such a thing was really a disgrace to London.
