At the Pavilion every thing 'Twins is slot' quo; the artists and workmen go on !timely with the improvements, sod no very speedy suspension of their labours is as yet anticipated. Of the eight houses in the Palace enclosure, called Marlborough row, only one now remain*, and that from a apse much sod generally regretted. The whole of Marl borough-row, one tenement excepted, became the property of his Majesty by purchase; for the terse orient alluded to treble the value was offered,butit was i not to be obtained upon teems so easy. This tenement now stands supported by the remainingliouse of his Majesty; foe were that to be taken from it, it must soon find its way to the ground. Though the law would justify the removal, and the process of the royal improvements demaod it, yet the kind dispo sition of the King will not allow of the messure; his Majesty has commanded that his own house, though as a blot and nuisance to the design in pro cess, shall remain untouched, as a safe nod certain support to the other. It is considered probable that the Prince and Princess of Denmark will visit the Pavilion during their stay in England, but no preprrations of any description are making for them there at present. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, his Ma 'MY left lowa io Ina travelling carnage for Kew, where he spent the day.

ORAtib PINANCIAL stHEME. TO MR. Y-4-TT-RT. litt-- , ThF:tielay that has taken place in the grand abiltial scheme fur, the peymenvof the pension bet, has entailed on me great loss, inconeeoience, lied disappointment. I hove another scheme, mere iwtereatitig and of much greeter magnitude, ready to be submitted to Parliament, but hitherto itm perstive, in consequence of the extraordinary and unexpected difficulties that have impeded the pro gress if my first speculation. Hoping, however. that you will loon carry it successfully through the blouse, Irenture to run the risk of being considered prema ture., rather than longer keep concealed in my desk 'The other grand financial secret which I have had the good fortune to discover. In the first place, then, you will find that the present amount a the prestos list proposed to be paid off is about five millions a year, for which Government offers 'an annuity of 4,800,0001. for forty-five years. Thin scheme, if carried into effect, it is ob vious would relieve the country fur the first yew from a berden to the same amount, and throw it upon the last, and consequently enable the Mi •nister to reduce the taxes about 2,000,0001. a year. as proposed. New, Sir, it is perfectly plain, that money token from the pockets of the people is *gorily felt, whatever appellation it assumes, and that a pound paid for poor rates distresse. a poor man just as much as if it were paid for the King's taxes. Relief, therefore, from the immediate pres sure of parochial rates, is equally desirable as re lief from taxes; and the cases of paupers, pen• . rioners, mad annuitants, are, so far a. respects the hand that supplies them, all alike. 14 came sow, Sir, to the point : the annual a intouleof poor rates paid in England is near 10,000,000/. I year, that is, double the amount of the pension list. I propose. then, that as soon as you have com pleted the present scheme, that you will take under your protection my new plow for pay ment of the poor rater. It is precisely on the same basis and principle as the pension list scheme, and will be attended with double the re lief to the present generation. I have employed a number of admirable arithmeticians, aided by a competent corps of doctors end apothecaries, and they have computed, to a moral certainty, the yearly diminution of the present existing number of pau pers in England, tapering to a point like a pyramid up to the period of their final wise. lion. So great is the nicety of their estimates, they have taken among their data the exact (iden tity of gin drank by each male and female pauper, elm the elate of their limbs, making due allowance in favour of cripples and men with wooden legs, who are less able to run in the way of danger than their more active companions. The graduated scale of diminution is thus so perfect, there can 'be use doubt they will die off exactly in the way prescribed for their exits. I propose then that the Minister or some rich Corporation shall contract for the payment of the whole pauper body of England, in consideration of a fixed and equal annuity for a given number of years; by which means the public might be relieved from one-half, or shout five millions • year of the present annual amount of the poor rates. Bet this present relief, however great, is not the only public benefit that would result from the adoption of this scheme. It would clear away much of the difficulty which Mr. SCAILLETT Dud other benefactors of their country have encountered in their laudable efforts .to ameliorate the pauper system, and prepare the ground for the erection of new plans. Let me then, Sir. entreat yon to complete your present scheme with all possible dispatch, for time is pressing, the Session of Parliament draws its adore, and if my pauper contract were once fairly launched, I have several other promising schemes of equal value ready for introduction to public notice. Tours, A COCIER. Speculation Row. From the American Papers it appears Baltimore theatricals are in great vigour this season. A new drama. entitled The Spy, or a Tale of tee Neutral Ground, has been brought out there. The story is founded on the novel of that name. The principal performers are, Mr. and Mrs. H. %Val, LACK.

Among the company at dinner were the Duke of WIILLINGTON, the LORD CHANCEL LOR, Lord Viscount SIDSIODTH. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and many other permit's of high distinction. The Committee ut Lloyd's having evinced a dis inclination to subscribe for the relief of the distress in Ireland, a meetiug of that body was held yester day, at the request of a large number of the sub scribers, when the subject wus taken into conside ration, sud decided, we •uuderstrud, in favour of the original' determination of the Committee. Tuesday night, between nine and tee o'clock, the choir of St. Paul's was lighted op with gas fur the second time, at the request of several distinguished persons. It was expected that the Prince of Dat4 HARK would have been among the company, but from sunie cause or other he did oat make his ap pearance.

Tlwe waa in her sonseihiag of that osteatatious display. which the new made sons of trade are fond of exhibiting; but still snore of the old baronial pomp, which is thought due to illustrious ancestry and ancient custom. She vial of a. boundless hoe pitality, of • munificence. inconsiderate, often, and lll.bo. stowed, but still ths feeling from which these errors spews( wee noble, and is now too rare. She was not only unwildwg to give psis, hut to refuse any pleasure she had it is Isar power to impart. Nor did she seek fur flaws its the cha racters of those who surrounded' hee„ to order to raja, the petty triumph of excluding them from those eniertsiamenile they would otherwise here enjoyed. No, Lady Ortilk's whole soul was benevolent. Oh, how then could they bear bp defame her ? I sever heard her breathe an unkind, word of smother. The know ledge that a basun being wits ushappy, at once erased from her mind the recollections - either of comity ewer.

Here warno sotichode for pre emk irenee—here was no apprehension of being degraded by the society of others—here was no assumed contempi—here won the calm and unassumieg confidence which ought ever to b i the characteristic of rank and fashion. When this Is want. tag, rid when, on the other hand, there is found every where an uneasy anxiety fur distinction, a pining afte► petty advantages, a dislike of mixing with the public fo► fear of being confounded with the vulgar—when these feel. Inge and notions generally prevail, they are a sure sign also of the prevalence of conscious mediocrity, and of t►e ate acne. of all natural superiority. Many there were who moved in the same sphere with her, many who committed the same errors, ■nd were guilty o( the same forgetfulness of serious duties; but where was the beactoienee which could not bear to humiliate or mortify! —which found every where, and hp°o all occasions, a pride end a pleasure in soothing, conciliatiog, and la making happy? When wan it then? Where is it mew? I feat that in this narrow, timid, and little-miuded age, we have no each spirit left. As soon as I catered the apartments she semiefileward towards we, era, without oar reproach, weleeoled me to her last fele. The watching were tuning their insteaments, the servants were lighting t►e lustre,; but no use was expected, mot even the old ladles, and card-playing gentlemen, for a■ hour. Lady Orville was dressed, and sever—oever had I seen her so handsome as upon that evening. She always looked best whet, her beautiful long hair was braided, and without other ornaments then diamonds. Now ht my situation at this moment be imagined—let it be remembered how very young I then was—how very bma- Wul the person who add d me: sod thep let me hope for forgiveness, if, feeling that it would give her pain, I broke all my resolutions, and did not dare inform her that I was inintediwely going to be married. I faltered out some. thing shout havieg bete very particularly engaged the whole of last week; bet smiling she bade me say nothing farther, and, loukiag upon me, said—" I see the chain is on ; and as it was given, Graham, by one you will possibly see wo wore, promise M weer it ; it Way save you .whea yea nee tempted to forget yourself; it may also remind you of one whose abort aequalatenee has not, I Mope, been productive of 111 to you.

Do you believe I shall forget, or e -- I was going to say, change; but I recollected Gertrude, and full of embarrassment maned away. Lady Orville ap. peared ■ho confused. The entrance of her little sou was a relief to both. The child knew me; I clasped him to my heart, sad the tears streamed from my eyes. She saw bow deeply I was affected, and sighed- 4 It is well, Mr. Viand toe, we should part; I never behaved half so absurdly— however, you have many ether admirers :" sad she cadre roared to smile, and make light of what she had said. We were still conversing when an antiquated lady, very finely dressed, was introduced, and is a gossiping tone berm to apologise for being so extremely early, from the fear of being in a crowd, to which she added a lung story about her coachman : she looked much at me, and I could see, thought it strange that I was there already. The company now began to attire in great numbers; sad those whose orer•delieary load induced them to refrain from visiting the house of mourning (for such Lady Or ville's had bees for the last ten days) now gladly crowded into this pollen of pleasure and delight. Lady Denmout and Mies Ciairville came amongst the first; bet I could not help gaziag upon one alone: for the thought that I should see lady Orville uo more, and that gibe felt a among In t t for me, eisgroseed and oppressed me. Whether it was that I was feeble from my recent illness, and out of spirits, I know not, but every thing on that even ing offewited end displeased me. The men seemed more ex travaosat than ever, their manners affected. their necks tied op till they bad eenstraieed all the ease and flexibility of safer*. The women were like exotic flowers cultured in hot-houses; delicate, week, prettyleced, and ennateral.
