JAMES'S PALACE. (PROM TIM Mu{tNING POST.) The unsightly buildings at the east end, called the Friary, formerly occupied by Mrs. Boec%waN, have been removed, and a very handsome avenue fort,ud , leading from Pall Mall to the Park, with a Macadamized road, laying open on the right ban I side the ancient boundary walLand an old tower, and on the left thelierman chapel, a beautiful specimen of the architecture of I xruoJoares. From the tower which projects considerably before the face of the strwcture, a cloister of five arches in the original style of the building has been added, forming a new covere I way to the new general entrance, at which several carriages may set down at the same time without exposing the co.n. party to bad weather: from this a Corridor has b•en made (by enclosing the Colonnade on the south side of the Standard Court) to the great staircase ; rendering the approach warm and comfortable, as well as affording ample space for the accommodation of spectators on Court days. To the old staircase another has been added, of equal dimensions, towards the north, and separated from it by an open screen of lonic cotillions, producing not only a pleasing effect but great convenience. At the top of the southern flight of steps (which will be appropriated to company going to the drawing room, and the northern flight to those returning) is tha Guard Chamber, the walls painted in imitation of old oak, for the reception of ar mour, and adorned with a handsome Gothic chimney piece. Adjoin.ng this is the Presence Chamber, con siderably improved by the addition of a large bow window —this room is also painted like oak, except the walls, which are prepared for tapestry. Here, in removing the wainecoting. a fine o'd chimney piec e was discovered, of the Fate of HENRY the E:eeva, formed if a soft flea sone, highly wrought and carved, ecnbt llished with divers earimislheraldic badges and initials of that Alo-a-ch an his Queen, ANNE Buttes, and taid to be oae of the finest specimens of the domestic architecture of that period.— From hence you enter the Privy Chamber, an entirely ne..v room, upon a larger scale than any of the others, con strocte I, we believe, upon the site of the Levee and State lied rooms. The ceiling has a bold cove, ornamented with foliage in the angles, of the same character as the , carved decorations of the old rooms terminated by a large band of laurel leaves and berries, the chimney piece is very large, of white and grey marble, highly earved,surmou nted by two beautiful busts of George the Second and his Queen, front the chisel of Ryshach. This room communicates by three handsome oak doorways with the ante Drawing room, similarly decorated; from thence, ' through three like openings you enter the Drawing or Throne room, not larger, but more expensively ornamented. The outline of the ceiling is the same as the others, but has, in addition, a MSS of foliage, within a large b a nd o f i v y l eaves; t h e C ove Is divided into enrichened lozenge-shaped panne t s, filled with Norman roses, and in the angles are introduced the stars and badges of the four principal orders of knighthood. Beyond this is the Royal Closet and the King's Retiring room, in both of n hich the same sort of finishing is conti nued. The fine state rooms, enweite, form a vista of between two and three hundred feet in length, and so arranged, that by means of a new gallery erected parallel to the Guard and Presence Chambers,* the company, after leaving the drawing room, retire without meeting , those who are ad vancing, and arrive at the northern dinston of the principal staircase, whence they go off towards the west, By this arrangement the obstructions and difficulty of regress, so much complained of when the Courts were held here before, obviated, and this Palace, for all the purpose of State, be corms most convenient. Under the State-rooms, with windows looking into the garden, is 4 commodious suite of apartments once occupied by the celebrated Countess of Yarmouth, now fitted up as private rooms for the King and his attendants, with an en trance from the garden for bis Majesty, from which a very handsome staircase leads to the Royal close: ; it is formed entirely of oak, and, although of nut large dimensions, has great beauty and Sines,. The external improvements are only visible at that part next Marlborough Hons., before described; and, so far as they go, are improve.nents ; but the outside will never look like a Palace until the bricks •hall have been covered with a stone &mint ornamented with pillars and porticoes. Even now it has only the appearance of a large private house, vt.tla4ut any Cang to excite a su•picivn of Its bring a Royal Dr. LusnlYoTot prayed the Court to admit an am laviz to be read, setting forth that the indi► dual in question, in compli ance with the monition (which was issued only 10 days ego) now brought Was Court 9.33 pieces of „gold coin, and the arti cles, part of the property in qu alon.—That property, the deponent s - aiiii,be was not aware thit he had no right to appre.. priale as he had done, nor that he was not empowered so to, dispose of articles fat:ad, fiotsamjetsans, an I lips's. Ile bad, at the time, endeavoured to distribute it, according to what h•r conceived to be the provisions of the Prize Act ; the snit total being 676 small gobd do•;bloons, five larger ditto of Jotthio ♦alue, Ste old French francs, eleven English sovereigns, gold. rings, &c. The division he had made was, one twelfth to Vi % chief mate, one eighth to the crew, one fourth as his own share. one tigh:h to the owners, &e —Under the cirenmsttnces of this case, the learned Counsel submitted that the Court would not too severely visit the party for being ignorant of a very severe Act of Par.iament, the existence of which was not till very lat.ty known to himself (Dr. Imshington), who might, by possibility, have been expected to be more knowing on this subject. The aMtlayit being read, The COURT salt, that as there was now property in the Registry to pro;eed upon, it would so prtceed on what was before it, at least. _ _ MIDDLESEX stissloNS. TUESDAY. . C.%5 OF IR. I:AItAIICIIAEL SMITH. Mr. PLATT said be nntiorstood that an aplieation had been made to the Court to discharge this Gentleman from the recogniz inees he had been obliged to enter ints to keep the mace towards his wife. He appeared on tue part of the wife to oppose this order. Mr. AvoLencs said he also appeared as Coansel for Mr. Smith. The transactions out of which the order for holding Mr. Smith to bail arose, occurred between tne montli, of August and the 31st of September. After lie latter period an ant:cable understanding took pl to betwees the parties; and mete could he no ground for continuing the recognizances any longer. ittside•, Mr. Smith was only b,:un 1 of til the Sessions ; he now I ppeared to the order, and nishel to have his recogn:zaace dis charged. Tue CHAIRMAN observed that Mr. Smith was still under resogniaances to keep the peace towards bit wife, and as he continued not to giva her any disturbance, 1. (the Cbuianon) wished to knoor what objec'inn than Gentleman could Lave to let them remain as they were. Mr. Smith rose and said, that he considered it a degrs dation to him, as a gentleman, to have those ehargee sill hanging over his heed, when there was no foundation fn: them. His wife had charged him with threatening to g. t a silver oar, in order to banish her from the country, hi sending her to Anterita. No intention of the kiryi ever entered into his head. Besides, the meaning of using s silver oar was, that of bringing a person into the coat:try, instead of sending such person away. Mr. AnoLvuca read the letters which Mrs. Smith wrote to ht r husband subsequent to the period of her swearing the peace against him, which he had read on a former day, and which abounded pith expressions of airsetiott towards him. He, therefore, contended that there eottil he no ground now for holding Mr. Smith any longer OP bail. The CHAIRMAN said the recognizances were to continue in force until the end of the present Sessions, an•l if it was intended that they should continue in force until thet tine, notice must be given that a motion should be :nada t.s that Mr. PLATT said it was Lis intention to apply that they should be contit.ned. The CH►Ata]t!N tbea observed that if no new applieatioa was made tie recognizatices should be discharged at the er.d of the . Sessions; bat it was not in his power to discharge them at the pr►sent time. Here the conversation vmdcd. Thu other cases before these and the Surrey 5....07s were cb:cfly those of assaults. In the King's Bench yever lay, the Court was c:.iefiy octupied nith an action to determine the idert.ty of ,t mare; and in the Common Pleas, with one to recover utor., y for a mare, that was obliged to be re milled.
