Holyrood Palace is to be rendered more accessible to the
public under an improved system. The liovernment will
now take the management more immediately into its own
hands, and instead of the present moat unsatisfactory mode
of handing visitors about from one exhibitor to another, and
leaving the gratuities to their discretion, a small fixed fee
of lid. will be substituted. The palace will also be open
every Saturday without any charge whatever.
The handsome gates which formed so conspicuous a fea-
ture in the transept of the Crystal Palace have been pur-
chased by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and
are now placed at the southern extremity of the gravel
walk leading across Kensington-gardens, in the direction of

Bayswater. -
The cholera has assumed a serious character in Copen-

From the 11th to the 12th inst., $4 patients. 40 deaths ;
from the 12th to the 13th, 84 patients, 57 deaths ; from the
18th to the 14th, 05 patients, 00 deaths ; from the 14th to
the 15th, 153 patients, 08 deaths from the 15th to the
18th, 350 patients, 137 deaths. This amount corresponds,
if the proportion existing between the population of Co.
penhsgen and that of Paris be considered, to a number
equivalent in the latter capital to 3,500 patients and 1,370
deaths per day. The disease is also increasing at Stettin,
and cases have occurred at Dantxic.
