IMPROVED FOOTPATHS, &c.—The whole length of foot-
walk in the street immediately under St. James's Walk,
(otherwise the Mount Gardens) is in progress of being re-
layed with Asphaltum, and when completed, will form a fine
smooth and agreeable walk,—greatly superior to the best
flagging. The composition is laid on a bed of plaster. The
area of Exchange-alley West is also nearly relayed with Po-
lonceau's patent bituminous compound, on a foundation of
square pavement. This is an obvious improvement. The
competition between the two companies will probably result
in a very desirable " mending of the ways " of public
thoroughfares, courts, and passages. Both compositions ap-
pear from past trial of some years to be very durable and
efficient. We are not aware of the comparative cost. Por-
table furnaces on wheels are employed in the melting of each,
previous to its being spread on the foundation.
