THE SAVOY PALAU:. 'rh e last vestiges of that once magnificent and extensive pile of bdilings, the joyous abode and the prison of Royalty, and the scet.e %tme rainy transactions connected with the history of Eng land had their rise, progress, .and consummation, are now fast approaching that awful termination so finely described by our immortal Bard. The demolition nosy going forward, and which produced the melancholy catastrophe related in yesterday's Paper, by the falling of the wall of one of its towels that h.ad been too carele.ssly inicterminett, involving; three victims in its rub- bish, 11.1 s lail•o'peti ruins chat may be obse: vest with great interest by the.antiquariais as well a; the curious, observer, before closing the view for ever, by consigning to oblivion in i very ~hurt period every remnant of this truly • vener4We €4ifice. The Church, with its beautiful ceiliog and re ruarkable 1110111/111elltS, is at present exempted ft ont the general destruction of the Palace, thought how long the unsparing hand of improvement will permit its sacred and mouldeting walls to retain its antique appearance is hard to say. This devoted Palace has suffered such frequent damage and curtadment, that it is difficult to de termine which have conduced most to its progres sives destructi - ,M---time'rivages of 'fire, the tory of popular tumult, or the hand of improvement : ulte singular transition effected by the latter, is that of the ancient huge Bans:petting Hall into a cabaret or place of entertainment for casual visitors. It is a fact, that On the very scite of that splendid Hall are ert cted the Illy arches of Waft' 100 Bridge, one of the largest and most lofty of which is de signated by nie title of the " Blue Anchor," up the lofty walls of which , the smoke ascends, and rolling along the !trot . , finds an egress through „a large aperture in front, strongly reminding the spectator of the ancient structure, where, before the introduction of chlorides, the smoke also Imind its egress as in this gloomy though not unsocial cave; n. After the Coroner's Inquest has terminated, it is to be hoped that the sentinels will be re moved from the different avenues, so that the public miy view these very interesting ruins before they are closed for ever. LAW INTELLIGUNCE. COURT OF CiaNCERY, M.incti 29. The LORD - CHANCELLOR, on coming into Court this day. proceeded with the Lunatic I'etl ions r e• training, on the pa per, until one o'clock, when his, Lordship retired, to his private chamber, where he teas attended by the ATTORNEY-GR.• NRRAL,•Mr. BARBRR, and several other Gentle. men, •- and proceeded to hear the arguments of Counsel iu a cause involving questions of such interest to the patties concerned as to induce his L‘broship to adopt the course in question. His Lordship was occupied in the stay mentioned until half past three o'clock;, _ _ .VICE-CHANCELLOR di4posed of tlie.causes set 'down forbearing thi4 day, by one o'clock. EDINBURGH .—The imj►rovcrnent of our City, we observe, is not confined to the formatio❑ of new and elegant streets within its precincts, the same liiste is displayed in laying out the building ground in the viciniiy. A new place, to be called S.xe Cobourg More, has just been begun on Mr. Rose's property of Dean Bank, the plan of which combines elegance and convenience in no ordinary (kegree Futa.—About t_en o'clock, yesterday forenoon, a fire brcke out in the house of Mr. It. Itgssi, im porter „(fmeign wines, &e. ' flireadneedle-street, which originated is-a. wine cellar, supposed ftotn the spark of a candle, which the porter had fast_ coed agaiost the wall, falling among some dry straw, intended for packing. bottles. The threatened destruction to the entire premises, as ali the ground floor of the house and furniture, with the I tutor in the cellar, were totally destroyed before the arrival of the engines ; wh cb, howe ver, being plentifully supplied with water, and well milked, arrested the progress of the flames, but not before the fire communicated to the fiat floor, which was much damaged. Boxeas —So confident were all the best jodges of Cooper beating Hickman, that they would not take any odds, and oven bets were laid, that Cabbage and Cooper both woo, and six and seven to one that those who did win, would not. Cooper was so satisfied himself, that he considered the match, a mere turn-up, a little exercise, not dreaming of a scratchect face even. Betting was 6 to 4 against Cooper beating Gas and Shelton in June. sJany consider that Hickman can beat any man in England ; no tniat;er Si7.c o;• - %vci4l4t. His ititrepi• dit y excited the greatest a,tor:io• , rtent, although Cooper made such fine flush it.i."l..intle4 hits in front of the head, in Meeting the tight handed rush, when Hickman was not knocked down, be would be in, and wear his antagonist out• Beating Cooper has placed Hickman about first upon the Ihe fl-ating Chattel in the river Thames sp.. peass to grow in the affections ot the sailors. The novelty of a floating chapel having subsided, tie people from the shore do not appear on board as tormerly but the mintber of sailors, for whom t chapel waft intended, increases to replace t eta. On the last Sunday morning the congre ga ion consisted . of between five and six hundred bailots, a nd between two and three hundred in the at!ernouo. - Such a scene is'as admirable as it is novel, and while there continues to be such at tend,ince on the pablie service of God, there can n bat be good ground to expect important and hVW ficial consequences to seamen, and to society g•oerally. F. r a considerable time past, a band of thieves !rive intested Gidsgow and its heigbbout hood. piun let lug the house tops ot lead, as well as the I ,ipes that carry off the rain water. Four journey melt slaters were on Friday last detected oueove.r• ing several tenements ot that article,
