Until this is done both nuisances will increase with the growing population, until the streets become perfectly intolerable and impassable for females. All that row of houses between King-street and Parliament-street, Westminster, should be pulled down and abolished, and the whole space made into one wide thoroughfare. Pall Mall should be carried straight forward to the Green Park by the removal of the intervening buildings, or widening of the present narrow thoroughfare. A triumphal marble arch should be erected at Spring Gardens, to form a public entrance and gateway into St. James's Park exactly facing the Strand; and there ought to be no public thoroughfare through the Horse-Guards. The south side of Cheapside and the Poultry ought to be pulled down and rebuilt further back by at least fifty feet. Considering that Cheapside is one of the most crowded and thronged streets, with carriages, in the metropolis, immediate steps should be taken for the commencement and execution of this alteration, and the whole might be effected within fifty years without injury to any present living interest. The north side of Cornhill and Leadenhall- street should be thrown back twenty feet. A circus (like the Oxford-street Regent Circus) should be formed at the intersection of CornhillandLeadenhall-street with Gracechurch-street and Bishopsgate-street, by pulling down the corner houses; and an obelisk with posts should be set up in the centre, for the protection of passers, and lamps for the convenience of wheeled vehicles at night. There is scarcely a spot in Lond.

Excerpt: ... 192 GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS. BRIDGES. No bridge in the country, whatever its situation, or however small the river, rivulet, or brook, over which it is built, should be of a less total width than thirty feet within the parapet walls; of which space, it should be compulsory to have a footpath on each side, of five feet wide each, which would allow the road in the middle to be twenty feet wide. Whether a bridge be built with iron, stone, brick, wood, or rope, is not an object worth half the consideration that the width of the bridge is, as it affects the safety of people''s lives; for it is disgraceful to the local authorities (of many districts in civilized England, who have the ordering of these matters,) to see the risks of life and limb to which all passengers are liable, and frequently only escape by a hair''s-breadth, when passing narrow bridges, built in remote places, and in the outskirts of towns and villages, in a dark night, from equestrians at speed, gigs, mail and stage coaches, yea, and even from heavy waggons, when such bridges have no footpaths over them. I have witnessed numerous instances of danger on such bridges, and I therefore trust the Legislature will compel the widening of all narrow bridges, and the making of footpaths over them, which paths should be paved, wherever stone is procurable. PLANS OF TOWNS AND STREETS. In planning and laying out new towns, the For our Australian Colonies. engineer should be well acquainted with the climate of the locality, and know the quarter of the compass from whence the most prevailing or most healthy winds blow; and in the direction of such winds the principal, or main streets should be traced, so that they might be enfiladed by those winds; these main streets should not be of a less width than thir...
