METZ.
The cathedral of Metz, which, according to report, is beincr mined for possible de struction. is a fine example of medieval church-building. It was, says the Westminster Gazette, commenced* in the thirteenth century, and is notable for its size and architectural lightness and grace. The spire, a conspicuous object of the city, is over 360 ft high; and the features of the interior which attract most notice are the large pointed windows, slender column?, and many paintings. Metz is a very old city, and its general appearance is still quaint and irregular, although there are many well-built modern streets.
