its entrance and the sea beyond. and, in the rear,
OF the valleys and mountains. In company with
Captain J. II. Brown. the agent of the Board of

water-closets,-the latter being flushed and kept
clean by the water from the Government pipes,

of the enclosure, elevated some four or FIVE feet
above the ground, is i sort OF rotunda, covered
with a roof, open at the sides and provided with
benches, capable of seating say one hundred per-

rapidly and luxuriantly it dourishes. palms
cocoanuts, algerobas and Towering vines will be
planted. and under the tasteful supervision oil
Captain Brown we may expect ereloDg to see a

Grounds. We may add that the building may be
very properly used as temporary quarters for i'm
migrants arriving here from sea.
