HOLT ROOD PALACE AND ITS KEA:PERS.—The death
of the Doke of Hamilton will occasion a change in the ma-
nagement of Holyrood Palace, which may not be unim-
portant to the public generally. It is well enough known
that the apartments in the palace usually occupied by
royalty form but an inconsiderable part of the ancient pile;
and that, in fact, her Majesty is little better than a lodger
with the "keeper" when she makes her annual sojourn of
a night or two wit'iin its walls. As an illustration of the
manner in which Holyrood has been " kept " of late, our
contemporary, the Courant, states that on Tuesday week,
when her Majesty walked into the palace grounds to enjoy
the aceaery from what is called Queen Mary's dial, she was
so beset, first by the tenants of a piggery situated in an
angle of the garden, and afterwards by the urchins of t!.e
Abbey Hill, that she was forced to make n precipitate re-
treat to her apartments. net the system which has con-
verted the most interesting pert of liolyrued into an ex-
hibition of spurious relics is intolerable to the public,
there can be no quisstion whatever. We believe that very
many of the citizens have never been within its
walls, knowing that admission can only be obtaiseel
by subjection to • system of fleecing on the part of indivi-
duals who meet you at the bottom of every stair, and whose
faces, if no audible demand is made, say " &shilling if you
please," as plainly us poseilile. We are firm believers in
the good effects of throwing open, under proper regulations,
all interesting localities such as Holyrood. In the case of the
Regalia, for example, which is visited by hundreds of oar
citizens and their friends from • distance every week, the
regulations adopted by the Town-council have been exceed-
ingly beneficial. Wu hope to see something of the same
kind adopted in regard to lielyrood:Palace. Now lithe time
to Oct about the matter, while it is nu longer in the power
of any one individual to exercise the power of excluding
visitors. Considerable improvements are contemplated in
the vicinity of the palace. The hollow marsh which winds
westward, beneath St. Anthony's Chapel, to Liturgies
Know, is to be turned into a lake. On the other aide of
the hill there is some hope of the footpath to Duddingston
being widened into a carriage way, as well as of the Radical
Road, from about the Cat Nick southwards being rendered
accessible for carriages, so as to make that unrivalled view
of the city more generally known.— Catedoniare Mercury.
A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBAND AT LEEDS.
—A man named Samuel Weld, • quarryman, residing at
Buslingthorp, Leeds, is in custody on the charge of killing
his wife., Elizabeth Hest, to whom he had been married
only about five weeks, On Tuesday in last week, the
prisoner returned home from Halton feast at a late hour,
when he found his wife, who was ill in the jaundice, in
bed. Ile joined her there, and in consequence of her re-
fusing to comply with some request n.ade to her, ho jumped
out of bed in a passion, left the room, and swore he would
kill her. In • very short time he returned, and as she
lay in bed stabbed her just below the left shoulder blade,
either with • knife or a fork. Medical assistance was pro-
cured, bat in spite of all that could be done for her she
died early yesterday (Friday) morning. An inquest is to
be bold es the body to-day.
