ZORDON, MONDAY, BBPTBNBBR 18.

Panttauitorr decided last session that it would vote
some six sad twenty thousand pounds towards the
improvement of St. James's Park, by the adornment
of the front of Beckingham Palate with a garden.
We protested at the time that this meant. to other
wards, as encroachment on St. James's Peek. Acrd
so it proves. The read which rum in frost of the
marble arch is to he enclosed and pleated: • Imams
is bring ocastracted wi•hin a few feet of the bled of
the lake or reservoir. The whole of this large epee
of posed is to be enclosed to firm a garden for the
royal nursery. A vtry considerable slice of the I
park will, nada this arrangement, be withdrawn from
the public. It is cot a portion which has afforded the
public much amusement or enjoyment, but they view
with natural jealousy every such encroachment as the
aseeessaily.limited sum which is permitted for tbsir
recreation in the midst, as our perks are, of this great
and growing city.
At the tame the vote was passed we protested
against both the grant itself and the object for which
it was designed. We felt quite sure that when
the improvements came to be made there would be a
several outcry sgtinat them. So it proms. A cor-
respondent several days ago addressed us in strong
language on the mode in which the public money was
being applied, and, as his remonstrance has been
taken up is other quartors, we shall soon bare a
general assault upon all who are concerned. For
our own parts, however, we regard this wasteful
altera'ion as a thing not now to be helped
or remedied. Hid the vote been properly discussed
at the time we protested spinet it, a good resat
would hare followed. But from the moment the
Cumicrueut of the Ere:mobs was allowed to
obtain parliamentary *section for such an application
of public money, the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests were sure to make a job of it. Before par-
liament =sett, therefore, the west end of Bt. James's-
park is certain to be enclosed, and a private garden
formed far the acrionimodation of the royal stormy
maids, for whom special accommodation the new
front of the palace has been built.
Under this state of circumstances it seems to WI
that the public have nothing to do but to take care
first, that the privilege conceded by parliament is not
exceeded; second. that they bare compensation for
the encroachments to be muds. On the first point
parliament has appropriated twenty-six thousand
pounds fir the improvement of St. James'a-park and
the formation of a royal garden ; but let it
be remembered that it has never 'mho-
Maid for a single moment the copperas of
a thoroughfare. Now, perhaps the most important
of the rights enjoyed by the public at the west end
of St. James's Park are their rights of way. There
is the pathway from the Pallmall side through the
Buckingham Palace date to Pimlico. Taste is also
the right of way by the side of the Green Park up
Coostittrion-hill. Let the Woods and Forests clearly
understand that these pablic privilege, they
bare no right whatever to impede. The
Duke of WILLINGTON has recently been ap-
pointed Ranger of the Parka. We suppose
he wu so appointed is some way cr other for the
public benefit; if not, the appointment should never
have been made at all. If he was appointed,
as we assume he was, to protect the Parks, let
him commence the discharge of his sew official duties
by protecting them from royal or ministerial en-
croachment. The right of footway from Pall-mall to
Pimlico at all reasonable hours is a moat
important public privilege, and we call upon the
Itlnger of the Parke to preserve it for us. Pimlico, or
as the polite all it, Belgravia, has become, as every
one know., we of the meet important districts of the
metropolis. The James's Palace district is the
seat of :he clubs and places of public resort. The di-
rect communication from St. James's to Belgravia is
and

across the very pathway which the Woods -Forests
are now appropriating for the purpose of •
royal nursery garden. So with the ride past the
Palma up Conaitation-hill. It will be a many day
even for the Duke of WELLINGTON himself, when his
only direct road from Aps'ey House to the HOMO
Clouds is closed against him, in order that the palms
nursemaids may recreate diameters, unobserved by
vulgar eyes, within the bowers of a private enclosure.
We protest against any attempts to shut out the pub-
lie from thews walks and rides.

The public mosey has been voted for the " un-
proviment " of Bt. James's Perk. Whiirt they are
at work up= me put of it, we trust the Woods and
Forests will not forget the other portiooe. There is
a 'set deal that may be done to make St. James's
Park not only more generally ornamental but more
useful. Years ago there was an ornamestal
foot-bridge across the water from the path-
way near St. Jameerstreet to the gateway near
Quell-square. That pathway saved the publics pass-
ing frnm St. James's-street to Westminster the serious
inconvenience of a circuit by WhitehalL Whilst the
Commissionws of Woods are improving St. James's
Park for the pleasure of royalty, would they object to
the restoration of this little bridge, for the
benefit and convenience of the public? The
out might be three hundred out of the mix aid
twisty thousand pounds. Would that be ii urea-
sonabko sus to appropriate for a public bead% which
is sot also a royal gratification
We have said that we think the public ought to
obtaia some compessation for the loss which they
will sustala by reason of the enclosure of this
larg. Ponies of St. James's Park. We suer
pass that east barrack-like pile of haildiag

utterly ieacesteible. When the old railings stood

which appears to u to prompt the close guarding of

should the sight of her loyal subjects, imajoyies their

of our Quern, that she must needs guard the
pulses gates and form en exclusive n nursery garden"
for the royal children P Suppose those chars', la-
stead of bring kept close aged up ia the pri-
vate garden, were permitted to ran about mid
play a little in St. Jaises's Park Itself, and to see
how other childree:ran about end play, would they
be anything the worse for it P Are the courtly
lords who fine the palace chamber afraid that
the royal (levies might be discourteously ap-
proached whilst they were disporting themselves in a
public promenade P Well, we will suppose a case.

sad I hop to live to see thee Yung of England,”—
why, alugh the lady-in-waiting might faint, and
although the Lord of the Royal Bedchamber might
screams for the pollee, we ask whether the Royal
Mother ought not to be gratified No : this
sewing up of royalty in exclusive gardens
is a bid way pf educating princes : it is a bad
way for the peopleover whom they may be
celled to govern—it is likely to be a bad way for their
own happiness in after life. The times will not admit
of kings of England reared in silver cradles, and only
shown, even to noble strangers, through the medium
of glees doors. Hereafter the princes of England most
be um, and it would be well for them if royalty would
learn in time that it is as min that the princes of
England should be reared.

Ws lately detailed the prices, at various period',
of the principal articles required for human sustenance
in &gland, and exhibited the saving which the com-
mercial enterprises and financial reforms bad combioed
to accomplish within the last thirty years. Food
will, of neoessite, constitute the great item of expen-
diture to a large majority of the population. But a
margin must be left for clothing; for household uten-
sils and necessaries; and for various matters er *cutlet
to comfort and self respect. In the production of many
of the items in this list human labour foams the
chief ingredient, and the successive inventions by
which labour has been abridged or production multi-
plied have rendered the economy in their cost even
more remarkable than that effected in the depeasse de
&ruche. _ _ _

1;&ormixo we shall arrive at the fairest seti-
mate of the gradual diminution of price by oompati
the avenges at which the materials have been entered
in different years for exportation. Their quantity is
enormous, coutitating is hot the groat bulk of the
exchangeable velars annually sent from England into
the markets of the world.

I. Raw °wrote was delivered in the Liverpool
markets at Is. 6d. to 2• per lb. in 1818. In 1838 ihe
price was 51. to 71., and atter having fallen at inter-
vale considerably lower stood lest week at 411. to
84d. Meanwhile cotton yarn was exported in 1820 at
Is. 10d. per lb.; in 1838 at le. 3d.; and this year, by
the average of the seven months ending August 5, at
111 d. Manufactured cottons were entered in 1820
at, white Ild., printed Is. ltd. • yard; 1838, white
54., printed 6d. In 1849 the avenge for both
desenptions was 311., and in 1830 314., an augment-
alias doe to the dearness and apprehended scarcity
of the raw material. It is • curious proof of
the sensitiveness of the market to the west
trivial chanties in price, that the quantity
of export is the seven first =oaths of the
present year is only 780,824,276 yards, against
787,572,403 for the corresponding period of 1849.
That this is accompanied be no practical falling off in
the demand is testified by the fast that the respective
money value are: 1849, 10,800,0001.; 1850,
11,700,0001. For 61 million yards Ws exported this
year, the returns are nearly 700,0001. greater. In
the home market, Mr. Posits mates, "strong cotton
cloths, the wholesale pries of which in 1810 was 10d.
a yard, sold in 1820 for 9d., had fallen in 1833 to 4d.
and may now (July, 1850) be bought for 21. to 21d.
per yard. Printed calico, which sold in 1810 at
2s. 2d., in 1820 at Is. 4d., in 1833, the excise duty
hay ng been taken off, at 6d. to bd., may now be
bought at from 3s. 6d. to P.P. per piece
of twenty-eight and a half yards, or 11d. to 34d. per
yard." the increased use, he adds, "of cotton in
this country so far beyond the increase in our export
of cotton goods, proves that the people, and especi-
ally the working people, who are the great consumers
of cotton goods among as, have fully plaited by
their progress.ve cheapening."
L Flax wit imported from 11;ga in 1820 at 481. to
551. per to., with a duty of ss. the hundred weight.
In 1838 at a nominal duty of 11. per owt. the price
was 42L per ton, and is now 381. to 461., or 44 per lb.
Tbeapaa yarn was exported in 1838 at Id., and in
1850 at 11d per lb. The earlier prices, before the
exports of the commodity reached any extent may be
approximatively calculated thus : in 1814 a " bundle"of
flux was spun ilito 3,330 yards of tbread, which sold
for 295. bd., and in 1833 a bundle of similar weight
when converted into 11,170 yards of thread fetched
10s. 95., showing altogether a decline of 900 per
cent. _ _ _

IL LINEN MANUFACTURE, in 1838, was entered foe
export at 80., in 1848 at 74d., and in 1850 at 6/d.
per yard.
Lamm without distinction of "wrought" and
" onwroaght," is inserted in the returos of 1833 at
2/1. 10d. per lb. for ampoetadoo 1 'Tays.'s:it to 161.175.

" wrought " leather, tholoding kid gloves, and vari-
one Auer qoalitim, is 3s. 83. pet lb., while "on.
wrought" leather bas 'allot to 31.35. per owl. As

that the contract prima of shoes riven by the autho-
rities of Greenwich hospital in 1800, was ba. Bd. per
peel in 1820, 4s. 44d.t sad in 1848, 3s. 34d.
IV. BILE, a decoration sad luxury, at home, for
the iadustrial classes, is now exported to markets,
where, sot Mug since, the EngliaLmaa appeared only
as a hayer. The nature of the commodity renders
its prise, in groat sassaorai, oas of mere fancy. It is
to be wised, however, tt at while I. 1828 raw auk
was imparted at 12s. to 30s. per lb., the avenge for
the flint sevesi months of the peanut year shows a con-
siderable export of thrown silk at las. ad. per lb.
