Mr. ARNOLD deserves the respect of the Public for doing justice to the talents of native Composers, but the Public themselves should do justice to the memory of DIDDIN, whose innu merable Songs were always calculated to excite benevolent iiffections, loyal and moral principles, to render due honour to our Naval and Military Defenders„, and to .promote festivity, without the slightest allay of licentious gaiety.

A PALAIS Roy Ar. IN 'LONDON.—At last, after numerous deliberations, Lord GEORGE cAVEN.: DISH has determined to appropriate a proportion of the grounds connected with Burlington House, for the gratification of the public, and to give employment to industrious 'females.. A line has been maiked out at the west end„extending north and south, in which will be a covered way, or promeuade, from Piccadilly into Cork-street. This covered way will contain a double line of shops, for the sale of jewellery.and other fancy articles, and above will be suits of rooms. What first gave. him th to the idea was time great annoyance to whiCh the garden is subject from the inhabitants of a neighbouring street throwing oyster-shells, &c, over their walls.
