LONDON, London-bridge was the first great cause of the lead ing City improvements. The building of King Wil a and the to the bridge,sweeping away of the o ld an d was a great approachltilaarmr-treoswet improve ment. Another was the making of a fine approach to the Bank from Islington— the building of such an open and clear thoroughfare as Moorgate-street was a public benefit, and merits the public gratitude. Earlier in date was the removal of Fleet -market (a collection of unwhole some nuisances) and the making of Farringdon street, with an intended line of buildings, in a wide street, stretching up as far as Clerkenwell, and clear ing away many notorious haunts of vice and perpetual seats of infectious diseases. When Lad-lane was in hand, it was hoped that a wide street would have been opened fr om th e B an k to t h e N ew Post-office, relieving Cheapside of some of its heaviest traffic- There was great mismanagement, for in stead of the wide and open thoroughfare, we obtained the narrow and winding pas sage called Gresham -street, which is little better than what Lad-lane was—narrow, straggling, and inconvenient. New Oxford-street, cutting off the narrow and corkscrew route of High-street, Holborn, although not a City improvement (we owe it to the Woods and Forests), must be mentioned here as one of the greatest improvements by which the City has benefited. It opened a facile communication from the West-end to the City, and has much accommo dated the public. The line from Fraringdon-street to Clerkenwell, too long delayed, appears to be near commencement at last. There have been difficulties arising out of the complexity of interests, as represented by the City on one hand and the Clerkenwell Improvements Commissioners on the other. These are arranged now, and further stelae towards the prosecution of the plan will be taken next month. The required notices as to the purchase of property have been given, and after the assessment of value no time will be further lost in cerrying out a line which will make a direct communication between the north and south of the metropolis—from Clerkenwell (with Pentonville and Islington) direct over the leading thoroughfares beyond Blackfriarsabridge. Another new street, now in course of being made, is that which will extend from Eastcheap, in a straight line, to the south side of St. Paul's. This street, to be thirty feet wide in the roadway, and ten in each of the side-paths, has considerably advanced, and will have a double terminus westward —one end ing by St. Paul's, the other passing to Earl street, close to Blackfriars-bridge. Eventually Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Churchyard, Cheapside, and the Poultry, will be relieved, by this route, of the heavier traffic from the west of the City. The funds are supplied by the Corporation, but we dare say that the increased value of rents along the new street will eventually more than repay the cost of these im provements, great as it is. We have glanced at what 13 being done, as it i 3 on l y f a i r t o mention municipal consideration for public convenience, whenever it is exhibited. It pr oves , i n f ac t, that the Corporation is desirous of doing some good with its immense re. , venue, and enable a man to say of London that (on it) he may travel from Dan to Beersheba, and may say "all is not barren." This is rather negative praise, but we shall be delighted to increase it, if the Corporation will allow us, by deserving more. In connexion with this subject arises another consi deration—where ere the working classes, unhoused by these improvements in street-extension, to find future habitations ? The opening of New Oxford street broke up the classic regions of "The Rookery" in St. Giles's, and (to say nothing of the narrow and populous lanes which will be swept away by the new City route) the whole line from Farringdon-street to Clerkenwell, is crowded with the very poorest of the labouring classes. What shall become ,of these tribes ? It behoves the public to look at this ques tion in time. For every one model lodging-house already erected (and admirable places they are, clean, cheap, and convenient,) twenty are required. In ,fact, a street of such habitations would find full end mach coveted occupation, and might be erected on the new line to Clerkenwell. It is pleasant to Know that, even as en investment of capital, such a street would yield a vcry liberal return fur ex penditure. The QUEEN held a Council of her Ministers, at Osborne House, yesterday, end the result was the an nouncement, in a supplement to the Lonion Gazette, which appears in another part of our paper. Th;s i 3 the reverse of satisfactory. The PRIME MINISTZR promised, over and over again during the last Session, that-the new Parliament should assemble in the Autumn. He now prorogues it until the end of October, without the notice that it will then meet " for the dispatch of business." So, should Parlia liament meet at all this year, it will be so late, so close to Christmas as to make it almost a pro forma meeting. What is the natural inference to be drawn by the public from this shuffling, but that the Go vernment, afraid to meet the Parliament, are willing to put off the evil day ? No one expected that in the short Session before Christmas Ministers would apply themselves to the purposes of legislation— but it was hoped and anticipat-d that they would then be rcr.dy to make a full declaration of principles, and to indicate the leading features of the new measures, which, of course, they must bring forward.,We did hope that this Ministry, certainly not of the hackneyed and red -tap class, would have had the boldness, if not the prudence, to avoid the coups d' &at of its precursors during the last thirty years—such as surprising the public by sudden and unexpected propositions. Formerly the practice was to announce a measure one session, and legislate on it the next. The Duke, in 1829, took the nation by surprise with the Catholic Relief Bill, and from that time to the present Speeches from the Throne have been framed on the principle -of surprising the world. We had hoped, we repeat, that Parliament, meeting in October, would have had some account from - Ministers of the plans they meant to adopt, the measures they meant to propose. Instead of this—delay and evasion ! The usual farce of assembling the clerical Convo cations is also postponed. It is really full time either wholly to abolish these Convocations, or to make them more than a name. The latter might be done by releasing the hierarchy from the trouble of sitting in Parliament, and making then an Upper Chamber of the Convocation, really doing something for Church discipline and doctrine. MINISTERIAL TRIBUTES TO LITERATURE• Reference was made a few days back to the ru moured appointnaent of Mr. Warren, the celebrated author of " Ten Thousand a Year," as the Hull Recorder. Another distinguished novelist 'has since then received a marked tribute to his popularity from the hands of the Derby Government.

During the past week the recovery of the sunken vessel was obliged to be reserved for more favourable tides; and on Saturday last the renewed attempt to lift her was frustrated by the breaking of the chain fastened to the main shaft of the engine from the floating vessels above. This Iccident having been repair ed, another lift was made on °n d, 2 l - , which failed, as wa s ex p ected ; and again on Tuesday, by which the decks of the sunken vessel were brought above the level of the tide at low water.

"Absolute Reciprocity" appears to have been at length recognised as the principle of conciliation — perhaps we should say, as the means of reconcilia tion—between the American and English Govern ments. It is tolerably well understood by this time, on both sides of the Atlantic, that the Fisheries question is now in a fair way of being brought to a permanent and satisfactory settlement. After a great show of angry feeling in the chambers of Congress, the e and a somewhat inde corous display of blusterin g and braggadocio on the par t of a no less distin g uish ed orator A Ly I p E p l i W l brough t EI T to a R wnh unexpect edly lemlVr appears to have and statesman tha b nn een rapid and, if possible, a still more unexpectedly fortunate conclusion. gow now about the " sound and fury s ignifying nothing" of our good friends tt•3 legislators at Washington t How about that exceed ingly warlike oration spoken—marvel to relate, not by a stump orator with a bowie-knife in his • girdle, and a plug of tobacco in his cheek, and a patent revolver in his coat pocket, but—by the Lord cf Marshfield, the BURKE of Congress, the most important an d the most gifted among all the candidates for the Presidency ? How about that speech of yours, Mr. W EMTER—that speech dictated less by the ardour of patriotism, it would seem, than by a passion for claptrap and a tenderness for the adulation of a mob ? How the Committee F • on Foreign Relations—resembling very marvellously the bubbles mentioned in the fan tastic but melodious verse of SPENSER-- " The bubbles blowen up with wind, Which being prickt do vanish into noughts." Unlike the " little wanton boys that swim on blad ders" for ever and ever in the flowing rhythm of SHAKSPERE—the loud-speaking advocates of war in Washington ere submerged very summarilf t by the unlooked-for reconciliation effected by her MAJESTY'S Government. The self-sufficiency that: buoyed them up has been punctured very adroitly by the keen diplomacy of the Foreign Department in Downing street. How do they feel ?—these Bobadils in speech and Parolles in action—how do they look ? What do they say ? We should like to encounter one or two of them some fine day saunter ing down the shady side of Broadway. Seriously—there is much cause . for exultation in the happy issue of these negotiations about the North American Fisheries. The result proves enough that the charges of precipitation, and yet at the same time of lack of promptitude, directed against the DERBY Administration, are alike unfounded. The precipitation, it was said, bad reference to the seizure t of fishing vessels in the Bay of Fundy, and the lack of promptitude to the delay in bringing the matter to an amiable settle ment. It was insisted that some warning ought to have been addressed to the authorities at Washington before the fishing smack was seized in the bay, upon the waters of which it had encroached. Why— common sense tells us at once, plainly enough, that the treaty of 1818 was warning enough in all con science. What more could possibly have been ex pected. You don't usually warn a thief to take his hand out of your pocket, if absence of mind has se far con fused his notions of meum and team. Here: had the United States' fishermen been industriously dragg;eg their nets within a distance from the British North American coasts against they had been expressly prohibited by stipulation,. " signed, sealed, and delivered." Well, that wee admitted—on all hands it was admitted, But—then it was coolly objected that the violation of the treaty had extended over so long s period that it wee really too bad for the British Govern ment to interfere, 'without first of all, in a gentlemanly way, announcing its intention to adventure upon that interference. This was well enough in itself, as a child might at a glance have perceived. Take the conduct t be pursued towards the pickpocket again by way of illustration. Be cause some gentleman has been _ coolly helping himself whenever his humour listed to your, snuff-box, and your pocket-book, and your handkerchief, and the rest of the little knick-knackeries of your personal paraphernalia— you must by no means prevent the continuance of these nefarious proceedings until you have first of all warned him of your inten tion. Had you objected to these pleasant kind of eccentricities in the first instance—well and good— Mat would have been altogether different. But to allow fish to be caught over and over again, month after month, and year after year, in prohibited lo calities, without evincing any disposition to " pick a quarrel" with the fishermen for their encroachments —and then suddenly, without a syllable by way of preparation, to swoop down upon! them and bodily carry off a smack out of the quiet waters of the Bay of Fundy—it was really nothing more or 1 ess than absolutely monstrous and unendurable. That was the reasoning of Mr. WEBSTER ? It was the logic of the Committee on Foreign Relations at Washington. It was the argument used with all the coolness in life by the more warlike section of the American community. Hence the charge of precipi tation directed against the British Government. The precipitation being proved—by the fact of a long, long tedious ser i es o f delays, extending back almost to the treaty of 1818. Certainly this was clearly one of those transparent proofs known under the gen er i c title of self-evident propositions. Then, as to the lack of promptitude—Here romptitu • de— Hre i e s the whole ques tion about our North American Fisheries already close upo n a thorough and amicable settlement !
