MODERN IMPROMMENTS. I have lately paid some attrntion to the modiern pont silents that are going on, both in and out of the me tropohs. Nothing is now to he seen but building at all 'wings of the eatnliaFlt; not a green held, nor even a garden, remains within five or six toles in any direction. Poor cockneys ! what will they do for the walks; they used W delight in, to Peckham-nye, Primrose 11111, and other Mares of ru ralit y, once so fainting for their beauty, the • e xcenericies of toter tea anal lint rolls, their bottled ale, and other ovuntry luxuries.. I can eympathiso in all their feel ings, for, having be. is born aml bud in the country I ant per . fectiv alive to the severity of their privatiot.s. if. in-• awl, the homes erected on theme once del pitiful spots, t h a t boasted as many picturesque vkwv. were in the style of !

Oh. Capability Brown ! Oh, classic Price ! ye spirits of rural improvement anal ',dean bcanty ; what would your rethied taste say to the interminable Rowe, T•vraers, and Plac..s of formal and tottering held:work, die " beggarly account of empty boxes," that now deform the fir face of stature with undevSting monotony. atm, by thtir miter:red parallelsalmt out from the inleetntatits even the refreshing verdure of the far distant bilk. DI if per- chance, a cottage ornie is meted, to break the general s ournees, smiler the fisseinatirg title of Myrtle Lodge, or seem such sylvan rip elation, its beauty is despoiled by a patchwork cei ent in pro/rased imitation of skate, which ezhildts on its chequered surface every tacitly off Shade, fmm the dusty hue of Egyptian granite, to the sickly yel low of time-Worn Portland, or ?lastered on every side with a dazzling white of the same composition, is relieved by height green alaa'n and abutters, on the fa rmer of which brats knockers and bell handles glitter in the sun. In the front g ard e n, sdeverl with stinti tl evergreens, the shining leave of the holly blend with the spreading foliage of the I 41wviltir. the cyprew and the yew. Those are interspersed with hollyhocks, towering to the summit of the parlour windows, awl limiting down in proud pre-eminence upon the less aspiring host of peonies, sunflowers, and mari golds, by which they are surrounded. These increasing neighbourhoods swell the parish. s in which they arc eitnated to an ut-iatural bulk, and the rliiirelies are found inadequate to ace...rimodate the nu merous worshippers, and extra tr topics become necessary ; but here again we must condemn the taste and judgment of modern architect,. Oh, ye shades . of Jones, Wren, and ! arise and behold with weeping astioni4mient the model of the Parthenon, perforated with Egyptian windows and dims, flanked by sarcophagi. with Doric porticos, supported by .reco-r:gyptian caryatides ; finished at the western front with a heavy lonic porch, and pedi ment of gigantic dimension,' ; and to complete the caries tore, the edifice is surmounted by a fac-simile of the Pagan Tower of the Winds, crowned at its au ttttt tit by a Christian moss nor iv the interior less objectionable ; ter how can we reconcile with the simplicity of our national worship and Cie sacred character of a church, the theatrical looking galleries with their starlet draperies ; and the slender palm tree pillars that support them ? Let our theatres, where Folly holds her court, be as gaudy and glaring as crimson and gold can make them ; tot these such morn: lift pre appropriate, hut in the name of com mon decency, of sournl taste, and the roleinn service of oar Creator, let not our churches Mar inure resemblance to a /lace of amusement for the children of vanity, than act edifice where are held the assemblies of humble Chris froia engage,' in the set vice of their Maker. Though I am nut a Puritan, I cannot help preaching upon a text of inch importance ; but as neither time nor space will allow of my in amplification, I shall dismiss the new elitnettes, of which the above is a specimen, with a fet vent hope thatalic t oiniisissioners,'unsler whose auspices they are built, will add to their establishment a Sub-Committee of Taste, by whose slt.libo:ations the designs may be rest der•••l inore romistent aid) the purposes fur which the edi fices are inn tided.

The line of conduct adopted at first by Mrs. L.
