ToMrYiss MARKET This market, the construction
Of which was commenced 10 August, 1857, lie nov ap
preaching completion and IT is possible that the roof
may be put on and the structure covered before tho Let
In the City Government since it proposed to recon-
struot Toppkps Market and each successive admins
taon has MADE alterations snd amendments in the
origin al plans The walls ready TO receive the
roof but as yet the Common Council have not deter
mined upon what style Of roof ehsl cover the struc'
ture 1t was discovered by the builder that the roof
originally desgned for the Market too heavy, and
that the walls were rot Of sufficient strength to support
IT, as it was 10 be entirely Of iron. Another plan was
presented bat the Committee Investigation found
that ii would cost too much. Nothing in this mstter
has Jet been determined upor and il is nigh time that
the Common Council should awake 10 sense OF their
duty, and take action in the premises.
The structure is three stories in hight, with base
nnent and presents font Of Sl feet and inches
Third avenue, the same on Hell street, and 100 feet
on Sixth and Seventh streets. The basement is four
feet above the sidewalk and the ceiling will be about
twelve feet high. Originally it Eas determined that
the basement should be occupied for market purposes
bat has since been decided to divide it off for stores
The market will be on the fret floor, which is large
open room the ceiling Of which is supported by -
iron columns. The second and third floors are de
signed exclusively for the Of the Seventh Regi-
ment National Galrd. The second floor Will be d.
yded on ope side of hall ~ feet wide extending from
Sixth to Seventh street into eight rooms, for com.
pany ar1nories. These rooms viii be q feet wide by
81 feet deep, and will front Third avenue 90 the
other side OF the hall and fronting on Hall street. will
be another company arnory, room for the Board OF
Officers, for the armoreT, one for the band, one
squad drilroom IL by 81 feet, and company drill
room 81 by 81 feet The third floor will be thrown
into one large open ROOM the of the building, for
aregimenta driroon.
The Getting of the market will be Is feet in blight
the second floor II feet and the third ~ feet The eI
terna walls are Of non, backed with brick 20 inches in
thickness. The beams and Orders are Of iron, arched
with brick, on top Of which will be laid floors OF
Georgia pine. No particular style OF architecture has
been adopted but the market will present neat and
plain appearance. Up to the present time about
1920 worth of iron hos been used in the structure,
and the cost Of the market when completed will be
about s225 900 The beams used 81 feet in length,
and average 81 pounds weight to the yard. From
general inspection of these beams it would appear that
they are too long and too far apart One ortwo heavy
men can now jump upon the beams and cause a very
peroepibe Jar to the whole floor between the Orders
The first and second floors will no doubt, be strong
enoueh but many have expressed the opinion that the
heavy measured tread of the regiment, when drilling
in body will throw the brick arches from their places,
and perhaps cause injury to the inmates OF the
building The beams Orders cannot give way, and
the only danger be spprehended s iron the viora'
ton of the floor under the regular march step OF nine
hundred or one thousand men.
The delay Of the Common Council in taking measures
for the completion Of the structure csusei the butchers
TO suffer severely last Winter and the Winter before In
the little sheds erected for market purposes opposite
the Cooper Institute.
Tar SOUTHERN MAIL.-The Southern Through
Mail formerly received at the Post-Ofice at about
p. m now reaches this city by the Anboy boat at
in the evening This delsy in the receipt of the mail,
unknown to many, accounts for the non-delivery of
letters as early as previous to tue change.
HEAVY BANK FoRGERms. Several heavy forgeries
have recently occurred which should teach bank
officers to be very cautious how they cash checks pre-
scented by strangers. On Wednesday, very clever
forgery was perpetrsted upon the Nassau Bank.
man presented check TO the teller for - l26, signed
Robert Bonner The teller did not know the man
presenting the check, and informed him that he must
be identified lie tlen left the bank, and returned in
few minutes with an Endorsement on the back OF
the check, purportipg to have been made by Bonner
himself laying that it was all right. The money WAS
paid and the swirder took his leave. A man had
checks printed few days ESQ, in Fulton street,
and very particular that they should be Just Ike
Boomers of TIE Ledger. This Is, undoubtedly, the
same person.
The Corn Exchange Bank has also been sufferer
to the amount of O0O Two or three days since, an
unknown man presented check for the above
amount purportins to have been drawn by wilcox y
