Oue Ahcb[Itectijral Summary.

ment is bold enough in its character to command the attention and admiration of the spectator , as it rises loftily from the street . The situation Is a good one , and the architect will turn it to account . Mr . Edmund Woodthorpe has finished a small work , a new schoolroom for Lady Holles ' s school in Redcross Street , Cripplegate . The builders were Messrs . Turner . A dinner at the Albion celebrated the opening .

The tomb of the Duke of Wellington in St . Paul ' s has been closed with the magnificent slab of porphyiy provided for it , but it still awaits the monument in the cathedral abdve . , The newdining-rooms at the Crystal Palace are fitted up , and although having no architectural characteristics beyond those afforded by the portions of the main structure included within them , they command magnificent views of the neighbouring landscape , and an attraction which architectural exertion might fail to yield . *

Among other architectural subjects mentioned m Parliament was the proposed interpolation of a clock face on the triumphal marble arch at Hyde Park . Lord John Manners abandoned this , on the suggestion that another clock face might be stuck in the Duke of Wellington ' s hat on the other arch . Another question was as to the new Westminster Bridge . In reply to the demand whether it could not be called the Bridge of Sebastopol , Lord John deprecated it out of consideration to * the Russians . This concession of national glory to the feelings of our late enemies has not passed without remonstrance .

On Tuesday the 4 th , a dinner of the Provident Institution of Builders Foremen , and Clerks of Works , was held at the London Tavern , Mr . Cockerell , R . A ., in the chair , supported by many benevolent members of the Craft , as stewards , from among the architects and builders , who came forward on behalf of this praiseworthy charity , Much agitation prevails among the carpenters and joiners of the metropolis , who are in great distress on account of the state of trade , and

thousands are out of employment . Meetings of the trade have been held , and it is proposed as a means of alleviating the distress , that the hours of work shall be reduced to eight or nine , and that the masters and the public shall pay the same wages as now . This does not pass without controversy , for it is observed that those in work do not propose to make any sacrifice themselves to relieve their distressed brethren , but that they

actually propose to subject the public to a heavier charge ; and it is further objected , that the proposition is impracticable and inopportune , and thereby a delusion practised on the unemployed , because , as the distress is now caused by the want of funds to keep the whole trade at work , so the attempt to exact more funds from the public for the payment of wages is futile . It is feared , too , that the agitation may embroil the journeyman with their employers , lead to a strike , and still further aggravate the distress of the trader .

The " Encyclopedia Britannioa" and the " Freemasons' Magazine . "—In one of the recent volumes of the new edition of the " Encyclopedia Britannica , " now in progress , and in which information is carried to the latest date , we find the following passage in the article on " Masonry , " which , by the bye , is writteii with great ability and intelligence : — " The most remarkable event of recent times has been the permission given by the Grand Master to the Freemason ' s Magazine to publish the reports of proceedings of the Grand and private Lodges .
