had the interest of the whole community of the village at
heart, and would render them every assistance in his
power.

Mr. LOCK proposed the health of Mr. Allan, foreman
of the works, and who had so ably filled the chair that
day. The great anxiety, zeal, and devotion of that gen-
tleman fo the interests of the Company were, he said, be-
yond all praise. He knew of no individual, indeed, in
whose fidelity and talents he could place greater confi-
dence. (Loud cheers followed the toast.)
Mr. ALLAN said he could not find words to express his
feelings. He hoped his conduct both to his superiors and
to those under him in the concern would deserve a con-
tinuance of their kindness, which was his proudest ambi-
tion. (Cheers.) _ '

Mr. S. HOUSE, after complimenting the last speaker
as possessing a degree of modesty only equalled by his
great ability, said that he had been long accustomed to
bear prosperity drank to " the good old town," and as he
entertained no jealousy whatever of the rising town in
which they had met, he should propose, as a final toast,
" Prosperity to the juvenile city of Crewe."

SKETCH OF THE DESIGN, AND PRINCIPAL APARTMENTS

It was originally intended (as most of our readers may
remember,) that the Court House and St. George's Hall,
should be separate buildings, both contiguous, on the
same vacant ground ; and that the latter should be built
first. So far indeed had the Corporation matured this
project, that after a splendid civic procession, on the day
of the coronation of her present Majesty (the 28th of
June, 183 B), the foundation stone of the intended Hall,
was laid with great ceremony and rejoicing. Designs
were also procured for both buildings but suhsequent
circumstances induced the Town Council to abandon their
idea, and no further proceedings were taken until 1841,
when out of a number of designs advertised for a building
to include both the Court and the Hall, that of
Elmes, Esq., of London, was sel, best

This was received-with great applause, and the company,
(it being nearly five o'clock,) then returned to the room
above, in which the females, and many of their friends
from the village and neighbourhood,had already assembled.

THE TEA PARTY AND BALL

Nothing which we ever witnessed equalled in extent,
magnificence, and interest the scene presented in the
Grand Ball Room in the ._ eveninmo It was brilliantly

b.o' anti large coloured railway lamps were
skilfully disposed amongst the TREES and festoons of
evergreens that embowered the immense apartment from
end to end. The tea-tables were waost amply provided by
Mr. Ryles, of this town, for the accommodation of 1200.
Large japanned urns were placed upon them ' • and there
was abundance of bunloaf, cakes, &c. &c. Negus was
also plentifully served. The table scarcely occupied half
of the room, the remaining space—of itself of an amazing
extent—being left for the dance and promenade. There
was a glorious concourse of " honest men and bonny
r lasses ;" and many of the farmers and villagers brought

tor alt without jostling, throughout the whole evening.
Several of the Directors and their families, and many dis-
tinguished strangers, mingled amongst the throng ; and
it was truly delightful to see young and old, rich and
poor, the country dame and the blushing maiden—the
latter all neatly dressed in their best apparel—perambu-
lating together in groups, and passing the kindly compli-
ment or joke. It was an exhibition of true old English
hospitable feeling between master and man, and friend
and neighbour, which Crewe, though yet in its infancy,
has had the honour of reviving, and we sincerely hope the
example will be followed elsewhere. If such were our
impressions before the tea had concluded, what, it may be
conceived, were our feelings when the band filled the huge
apartment with the lively tones of their instruments, and
the gentry present, and even the senior Directors joined
their humbler dependents in the mazy dance ! It was, in
truth, a gorgeous spectacle ; the young women—of whom
there were large numbers—looked charming, and tripped
admirably in country dances and quadrilles. All appeared
to be delighted, and the whole fete will be long remem-
bered, and doubtless stand recorded as one of the first
remarkable events in the annals of the " juvenile city of
Crewe.''

The length, taking the external surface of the walls is
488 feet ; the width in the centre, including the projec-
tions, 164 ; and the width at each end, or in other words,
of the wings, 124 feet. The style may be said to be
Roman, or more properly an harmonious combination
of the pure Grecian and pure Roman, which last admits of
lateral windows, (necessary in this country,) denied in
the first, the purely Grecian temples being lighted solely
from the roof. The east colonnade consists of sixteen
fluted Corinthian columns, with rich capitals. The height
of each column, including base and capital, is 45 feet; the
diameter at the bottom of each, 4 feet 7 insches. These
support a fine entablature (there being no pediment), the
top of which, from the basis of the columns is 56 feet 8
inches in height. Between these columns and the main
wall, there is a clear space, or promenade, 22 feet in width.
Large and small panels, alternately, are seen in the back
walls, presenting themselves between the capitals, Screen-
work is carried up 16 feet 6 inches from the basis of the
columns and pilasters on this side.
The South Portico consists of eight similar columns in
front, and four behind them, the whole surmounted by a
handsome pediment. The principle of introducing an in-
ner column opposite each alternate outward one, has been
adopted by some French architects with good effect.
Within this portico there is also a wide promenade.
slightly interrupted by the central interior columns, which
however will impart, by forming a double colonnade, a
richness and warmth of appearance to this part of the
building. The ceiling, under the pediment, will here be
arched in groined-work, which will add greatly to the in-
terior effect. The full height, from the datum level to the
top of the pediment is 87 feet 8 inches; and the height
from the ground, which here falls 16 feet, as compared
with that at the north end, is 105 feet 8 inches. The
wings on this front are enriched by pilasters, correspond-
ing, in every point, with the outer columns. These mea-
sure 4 feet 4 inches in diameter at the bottom, and their
general projection is 13 inches. The capitals will match
with those of the columns. There are twelve panels for
sculpture between the pilasters at each front, and the same
number of pedestals, placed on screen-work, to support
figures. The intercolumniations, filled up with the pan-
nels, are 13 feet in width all round.
The North End differs considerably in form from the
south, but they are so far apart, and both so harmonized
with the general character of the pile, that no incongruity
appears, and the effect will be a pleasing variety. It is (as
before stated) semicircular, and enriched round the sweep
by three-quarter columns, in projection. Between these
are fine bold Roman windows, and the ashler-work is re-
lieved by wreaths cut in the stone. There are no attic
windows in the building, the upper rooms being lighted
from the roof.

Tile company were highly delighted with the perform-
ance on the Highland bagpipes towards the close, who
finished off the ball with " The Campbells are coming,"
and played in front of the assemblage when they retired.

On the West Front (to the Church Yard) the central
projection is carried up with screen-work to about one-
third of the height, and in that there are handsome archi-
trave windows. In the two wings on that side, there are
two heights of windows, corresponding in style, but the
upper ones somewhat varied in detail. This front, though
the least conspicuous, will, judging from the appearance
it already presents, though comparatively plain, be very
unique and beautiful.

Outside of the main building, and attached to it on the
basement, there is a walk or terrace leading from the east
portico or colonnade. to the south portico. The wall of
the terrace is composed of rustic work, with bold quoins
raised above the surface. The whole will be surmounted
with a handsome coping and parapet. There will be a
drive up to the east portico, divided from the street by a
parapet wall. A splendid external flight of stairs, longi-
tudinal with the building, will lead to the grand entrance
at that side. Steps will also lead to these, to a certain
height, at each end—these returning themselves against
their respective pedestals. The top of this extensive
terrace will resemble steps, or rather form a battle-
ment; the object being, at this lower part of the ground,
to please the eye by a gradual enlargement of the base, so
that it may die away, as it were, into the surrounding
slope, as if it naturally grew out of it—au achievement of
no slight difficulty, and which, we venture to foretell, the
talented architect will realize.

The Entablature is on the same level throughout the
building, but is relieved and diversified in appearance by
the angular projections. This uniformity in its height is
strictly accordant with the Grecian style, which delights
in straight horizontal lines.

The entire building is elevated on a podium, with fine
bold mouldings. The centre course is formed into panels
" dinted", or, in other words pierced in small points,
by means of a pronged hammer, on the hewn surface in
the middle, and with a smooth border resembling the
frame of a picture round each panel. This has a very
beautiful effect, and though the style may be termed
" rusticated," there is a smoothness, sharpness of angles
at the margin, and general appearance of fine cutting in
stone (relieved by the indented false joints) which gives it
an ann.larnnre far _ _

be said of work usually classed under that denomination.
The only part of the building that rises above the ge-
.neral exterior elevation is St. George's Hall, which is in the
centre, and the walls of which are carried 34 feet above
the entablature, forming an oblong square, rich in cor-
responding architectural embellishment. The entabla-
ture of this elevated portion, also straight at the top, is
ornamented with consols, on the course below which are
handsome wreaths. Pedestals, raised some height on
archwork over the corridors that surround the room re-
lieve the wall all round, so that, resembling a step or pro-
jecting basement for this part,
the otherwise abrupt ap-
pearance of this elevated part is removed, and it blends
harmoniously with the other portions. As seen from almost
any open point, but more particularly from Lime-street,
a little to the south of the Railway Station, (where the
east front and south end will be caught at one view) we
entertain no doubt but the whole will present one of the
most commanding and elegant piles in Europe.

Undoubtedly Dr. Collyer has, by this series of lectures,

science has been hitherto regarded by the public. Would
that he could explain to us satisfactorily the causes of the
singular phenomena which he produces.

THEFT FROM A SHOP.—On Thursday, at the Police-
coutt, a woman named Margaret Roberts was charged
with stealing a pair of boots in the shop of Messrs. Good-
win,

St. James's street. It appeared that the prisoner,
in company with another female, went into the shop, and
requested leave to exchange a pair of boots purchased on
the previous evening. They were shown into the fitting-
room, and a number of pairs were shown to them, from
which they, after some time, selected a pair as suitable.
Another pair were, however, missed before they went, and
the prisoner, on being charged with taking them, produced
them from her basket, and begged to be forgiven. A po-
lice officer was sent for, and she was taken into custody.
The boots were stated to be worth ss. 6d. She was com-
mitted for trial.

BRITISH IRON COMPANY'S WORKS.—RUABEN, Nov.
29.—1 t is painful to find that the discontent of our
southern workmen has reached this district. For some
weeks past there has been great discontent manifested by
the main class of workmen, called " puddlers," respect-
ing wages, and on Monday last they all turned out ; since
when the colliers. and various other workmen, have been
served with " Rebecca" notices, that unless they discon-
tinue working there will be many widows and orphans at
the end of the week; and to effectually carry out their
desire, last night nearly all the ropes of the colliers were
rendered useless. The manager's hcus3 and the works
have been guarded for several nights by a large body of
police. At present all is quiet, but how long it will r
main so is difficult to say;—empty pockets and emp
pantries, with six or seven cildren to feed. The collie
are all willing to work but dare not in consequence of ti

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
The public are not generally aware that steps are being
taken here, at the present moment, to establish the half-
holiday, as it has been done in Manchester, for the same
reasons and on the same grounds ; and, when it is consi-
dered how readily upwards of five hundred of the leading
firms, in the last named place, immediately complied with
the request of their assistants, it will not be marvellous if
Liverpool follow the example.
