southern gate to the: cattle-market, opposite, to. the 
citadel, is covered »withva vaulted roof. Independent 
of the public fountains‘on either side of the Bazars, 
almost every house has a separate fountain of water. 
The principal public buildings are the residence of the 
prince, and the chief mosque. The former is a mean 
building, with a common gateway. In the front of 
the building is an open: square, with the gallows in the 
centre. -mosque, which is called the Mesghed 
Jama, was formerly a ificent building, and cover- 
ed a space of eight hundred square yards, It is now, 
however, falling rapidly into decay. :
