LANCASHIRE. 
Among the improvements now going for- 
ward ia the flourifhing town of Liverpooi, we 
haye to notice that at the new Town Hall, 
formerly the exchange, all the ranges of 
fcaffolding in the great ftair-cafe have re- 
cently been taken down, and the infide of the 
grand dome which furmounts that magnifi- 
cent pile, has, for the firf time, been lzid 
open to public view. Viewed from the floor 
of the ftair-cafe, it prefents one of the mot 
fublime and beautiful coups dail which is to 
be feen in modern architeéture, though the 
diftance is rather too great to afford a diftinét 
view of the admirable tafte and richnefs with 
which the pannels in the ofr of the dome are 
; ornamented. When viewed, however, from 
the top of the ftair cafe, the ‘whol e of its mi- 
nute beauties and elegant proportions will be 
clearly difcerned. The infiae fs iliuminated 
wholly by capacious lateral lights; a pecu- 
liarity in which it differs from the Pantheon 
at Romie, the dome at’ St. Paul's, and mot 
other fimilar buildings of ancient and modern 
times. From this circumftance it happens that 
there is nothing of that gloomy and iombre 
appearance, which often {trikes the cye inthe 
cupolas of great buildings. ‘The ftucco work 
isfo well-arranged and fo admirably c»ioured, 
that it has all the effet to the eyé of the 
fineit fone. The entire height from the pave- 
ment to the centre of the dome is nearly 120 
feet, and the wholeis in the ftyle of the pureft 
and fimpleft’ Grecian archite@ure. Several 
ot the rooms in this ammen{e. building are.

already finifhed, and the remainder are now 
completing with a degree of expedition, and 
in 2 ftyle of ftrength and magnificence, which 
refle& the greateft credit on the exertions of 
the confmon council of the town, and of the 
diffsrent architects and artifts employed un- 
der their direftion —A noble ftone building, 
to be diftinguifhed by the appellation of the 
New Houfe of Recovery, has been erected, 
and is now finifhed and walled rounc, on a 
moft advantageous fpot of rifing ground, ata 
fhort diftance from the Houfe of Induftry. 
Though a perfectly plain and unadorned 
building, fuitable to the purpofes for which 
it is defigned, its fituation and appearance are 
yet fuch as to furnifh a very fine object of 
view, from many parts of the town and its 
vicinity. The building is large, the arart- 
ments numerous, and the whole eftablifh- 
ment ona fcale that does honour te the li- 
berality and benevolence of the town. This 
building is intended for an infirmary, appro- 
priated folely to the reception of patients 
affiitted with contagious fever. It was un= 
dertaken at the fuggeftion of the late Dr. 
Currie and fome other efteemed medical cha- 
ra€ters, who were of opinion that the mof 
effectual means of arrefting the courfe of that 
moft fatal difeafe, by which fo many thou-: 
fands of the poorer cleffes are every year 
{wept away, was to havea feparate building, 
adapted to the accommodation and treatment™ 
of febrile patients, and _by which their com- 
munication with others might be cutoff. A 
firnilar inftitution was eftablifhed fume years 
fince in Mancheftet, which has beén attend- 
ed with the happie fuccefs.
