PREPARATIONS LN HYDE PAWL

A large number of men are engaged in erecting
the galleries, or raised platforms, in Hyde Park, whicb are
intended for the accommodation of members of the Hones

of Peen and d the House of Commons, and other privi.
liged persons. The gallaies, which are constructed by Mr.
Smith, builder, of Pimlico, by direction of the Office of
Works, are about one-third of a mile in length in the park
in front of Park-lane, at a distance from it of about 300
Duds. They They extend from Upper Brook-street to the
Pond, and it is stated that there will be room
on them for about 15,000 persons. The centre gal.
lery will be appropriated exclusively to the royal
suite, and members of the two Houses of Parliament
and their personal friends, and will be lined with red
baize. In consequence of so large an area of the park
being occupied the general public will be deprived of a con.
siderable space of ground, on which they would otherwise
have had an opportunity of seeing the review, as in the
immediate rear of the galleries it will be impossible to see
anything of it. The only spot from which a view of the
ceremony can be had will be either on the north or south
of the galleries, or in front, among the cluster of trees ad.
