attracts and delights hundreds of visitors. Outside the building, on the southern side of the square, (a picture of which is given on this page) butchers who have been unable to secure stands in the market, sell their meat from their wagons ; and here also on market days, auctions of live stock, etc., take place. A sale of carriages was

going on at the time that the photograph for our picture was taken. On the northern half of the square is the fish market, and the hay market ; and, when young pigs are

of a salable age they are brought here, where they squeal away at a great rate, till re— moved by their purchasers.
