LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENTS

THE fourteenth meeting of the Architectural and Archaeo-
logical Society was held on Wednesday evening—Mr. C.
Verelst presiding. Many members of the Town Council
were present, and others interested in local property.
Mr. J. Boult, the secretary, read the report of the com-
mittee appointed at the annual meeting in May, 1852, for
the purpose of promoting the improvement of the town.
Its main features are comprised in sixteen suggestions,
namely,—l. A new street from the south end of St.
George's-hall to Dale-street, by which would be secured
a more direct communication from the Exchange Railway
Station, the Town-hall, the Pier-head to St. George's-
hall, and the Lime-street Station. This alteration would
involve the removal of but one public building, the
German church.-2. The opening of a line through Moor-
fields, Plumbe-street, and Key-street, continued across
the canal and the borough gaol into Great Howard-street,
if their width be increased.-3. in connexion with the
route northwards along Moorfields, a southerly continua-
tion to the bottom of Lend-street. To effect this, they
purpose to widen Paradise-street, and continue the line
of that street from the southeast corner of the Sailors'
Home, through Cleveland-square, by the southeast
angle of St. Thomas's churchyard, into Park-lane.-4.
A new street from the bottom of Lord-street to the south
end of St. George's-hall.-5. It is proposed to improve
the present thoroughfare through Dale-street and Shaw's-
brow, by raising the intersection with Byrom-street
about five feet, and reducing the crown of Shaw's-brow
opposite the north entrance of St. George's-hall, about
six feet. On the south side of Shaw's-brow and eastern
side of the Haymarket, the proposed erection of salt
water baths would be a great acquisition ; St. John's
church should also be removed, and the use of the
churchyard as a place of interment discontinued ; the
same remark is applicable to the church yards of St.
John's, St. Nicholas's, and St. Peter's, and other similar
receptacles of corruption throughout the town.-6. A
street from the north end of Commutation-row to the
south end of Great Homer-street, in connexion with this
andthe ftohremfaotrimonatioofn anof
a oval round
street Sfrto.mAtnhneet'sopchouf rcbyard
the continuation of Cazneau-street into Scotland-road,
Shaw's-
brow to the bottom of Richmond-row.-7. The continua.
tion of Marylebone into Scotland-road, to a point south
of St. Martin's market, and from that junction to Bur-
lington-street that Scotland-road be widened.-8. Con-
tinuation of Gore-street North to a point near Bootle-
bridge ; also in connexion with this the continuation of
Vauxhall-road into the proposed continuation of Gore-
street North, and the widening and alteration of Beving-
ton-bush, Bevington.hill, Blackstock-street, Chisenhale-
street, Myers-street, St. Augustine-street, and Latimer-
street.-9. The continuation of Netherfield-road north-
wards, by Castle-street, Kirkdale, into the road from
Bootle-bridge to Bootle village, and the formation of a
new street from the north end of Netherfield-road North
