THE ABOLITION or TURNPIKES. —As we have
already steted, the new Act on Turnpikes will abolish, from
the let of July nest, a number of metropolitan gates and
ban. It would seem that the act will cause the removal
of 25 toll-Kates and 56 side-bars, and the setting free of 51
miles of road on the Middlesex, north side, of the Thames.
At Fulham all the gates and aide-bars of the district are to
be removed, as also at Kensington, Harrow-road, Kilburn,
Camden-town, Kentish-owe, Holloway-road. Islingtoo,
Ball's-pond, Kinplaod-road, Twickenham, and Teddington,
as well as the removal of the City-road gate. All the side-
bars in the several districts are to be cleared away sad the
roads hitherto used as turnpike-roads to be common high-
ways and transferred to parishes. The proprietors of
omnibuses will greatly benefit by the removal of the various
toll-gates arid bars.
GRAND MILITARY RBVIEW AT DOVER. —The
military review, which was to have taken place at
Cei
Dover on Friday, is postponed till Wednesday next,
when there will be a large muster of troops from the various
stations in the South-Eastern district. and which will
number in all, we believe, about 10,000. It was origi-
nally intended that the troops should arrive on the night
previous to the display, and encamp at the Castle and
Heights ; but such a proceeding, it was feared, would be
attended with so many obstacles that it was abandoned.
His Royal Highneu the Commander-in-Chief will be present
on Wednesday, and it is stated that the review will afford
one of the grandest xiilitary spectacles ever 'Boomed in
Dover.—Dover Chronicle.
