ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—The dean and :..henter
have decided that the ores, which has been recently taken
down for enlargement, .hall not again be erected over the
entrance to therchoir. It is proposed to take away the pre-
sent screen, and en the removal of the monuments of Lord
Nelson and Lord Collingwoed to come other part of the
cathedral, to throw the whole spas, to the verge of the
dome area, open to the choir. The organ is to ho retaieed to
Its present cask which was designed by Sir Christopher
Wren, and it will be removed to the gallery under ti e centre
arch on the canon's or north side. The oak screen, with its
beautiful marble column., will be placed as an entrance to
the dome area in the south transept. The rails of the whim-
pering gallery and the heavy cosh* under it brim been
recently gilded, which gives a splendour to the meenitleent
dome that is very striking. Since the organ has been taken
away the choral services and anthems has been most
efficiently rung without accompaniment by the vices-
choral and ciewistere in the early morning chapel at the
wisteria en•rancc. The effect produced by their voi,_es rever-
berating through the aisles is magnificent.
