Laborers at work digging sink in the yard of
the jackson Square police station, yesterday
struck a brick wall, the construction of which
must date back a long time. 1t runs at right an
giles with Charities street. and rises to the level of
the flags of the yard. 1t is fully two feet thick at
the top and someW hat thicker, about six inches,
below the level of the foundation of the walls of
the adjoining buildings. Evidently it must have
been the wall of some underground build
ing, for as far as it has been followed
in the ground-sbout two feet below the founda-
ton of the buildings-it does not present any of
the haracteristics of foundation wall. The con.
tractor has caused il to be pierced and says he
believes that beyond the wall there are indics.
tons of en- arched roof of the same material. The
bricks are such as were made in Spanish times and
smaller by third than those of the present day.
We heard many ludicrOus suggestions relative to
the probable uses of the wall but they are not sus-
tanned by the history of the city and shall not be
mentioned here.
