CONCERT FOR MRS. SALMON.—It gives us great plea-
sure to acknowkdge the receipt of the following note,
enclosing five guineas, from Mrs. Harvey Partly, whose
exertions in this distressing case are roost praiseworthy.
" Monday, Sept. 1, 1845.

" Gentlemen,—l take the liberty Of enclosing Five
Guineas, (a portion of which is the proceeds of the con-
cert of Thursday evening last), and will feel obliged by
your adding it to the fund now raising to relieve Mrs.
Salmon from her distressing pecuniary embarrassments.
Your's respectfully, J. HARVY PARRY."

SEWERAGE IN CASTLE STREET, &c.—A good deal of
public curiosity has recently been excited by the sewering
operations under Castle-street, decidedly the most cen-
tral business street in our town, being between the Cus-
tom-house, facing the south end of the same line, and
our noble Town-hall facing its north extremity, both
surrounded by cupulas. The whole of this work has
been accomplished by tunnelling, for effecting which
numerous " eyes," or wells, were sunk to a considerable
depth. Fine bard red freestone was met with throughout,
and the blasting of the rock sent forth frequent loud re-
ports for these several mouths. The depth of the tun-
nelling near the exchange is, we are informed, 32 feet
from the surface of the street. A. similar operation is
progressing towards completon under the top of Cook-
street, leading east from Castle-street, where the depth,
owing to the inequality of the ground, is about 20 feet
10 inches. This subterranean " bore" is for the purpose
of effectually draining the story underground, or cellar-
age, of the two new banks about to be built at the two
opposite corners of Cook-street, nearly opposite Bruns-
wick-street.
