necessarily generated on the sites of markets; but in London its
useful introduction is limited to a few pumps, and its ornamental
to one or two solitary _jets d'eau_ in almost unfrequented
places. It should be added, that in Southwark, an extensive and
commodious market-place is just completed, and the tolls are
proportionally increasing. A similar improvement is much wanted in
Covent Garden, by which means many of the evils of that spot would
be abated, and instead of seeing Nature's choicest productions
huddled together, and being ourselves tortured in the scramble and
confusion of a crowd, we might then range through the avenues of
Covent Garden with all the comfort which our forefathers were wont
to enjoy on this spot, or certainly with comparative ease.--ED.
