THE CITY OF CHURCHES. AND PALACES,

We have been extremely gratified, on several occasions.
with a detai!ed examination of the interesting model of
Rome, at present on view at the Exhibition-rooms, Post.
office Place. The model comprises a space of SSB square
feet, and the execution of the whole work is beautiful,
and the representation of every building and locality is
scrupulously accurate. Few persons are without a wish
to visit 'the eternal city, and they have now an opportunity
of seeing every object of interest in that celebrated spot;
for it has been welt observed, that this model " is not a
partial or imperfect representation, a picture seen in per.
spective, but it is the place itself—where every existing
ohject may be touched with the Sr ger ;" and we may add,
lingered over in contemplation. As the spectator walks
round, and listens to the graphic description of the vari-
ous objects given by the talented lecturer, be forgets for
the moment that he is really in Liverpool. Not only
have we depicted the most conspicuous buildings, but
obelisks, fountains, columns, porticoes. &c., are all laid
down in their respective styles of architecture. The ob-
jects of peculiar interest at the present moment, which
attract the notice of every visitor, are the Chancellor's
Court, where Count Rossi was murdered, the Summer
Palace of the Pope, from which, he lied. in disguir, the

gate through which he afterwards passed, the wails bat-
tered down by the French, the Church from which Cardi-
nal Wiseman derives his title, and the far famed Fla-
minian Gate from which he issued his notorious manifesto.
The magnificent Church of St. Peter is a prominent
object of attraction, as is also the river Tiber, with the
steamers and other vessel- stream. Every

floating on it
person who has seen it once will feel a strong inclination

to visit it again

SHIP-BUILDING YARDS AT THE PRINCE'S
PIER, NOT INTERFERING WITH THE PRO-
MENADE. • •

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Srn.—l have a proposal to lay before your readers ,
which I publish either that objections which do notit,rikl•
me may quash it at once, or which, if, after much can-
vassing and discussion, it be seen to be desirable to adopt,
will rem aye a difficulty—that of want of available ground
on the river-side. _

V" "S., • • •
Excavate as many ship-building yards under the
Prince's Pier as it will contain ; make these yards water-
tight, like the graving-docks, so that the ships could be

One of the evils of the present system is, that- the,Cor-

then charge ship-builders with monopoly rents. With
