Cumberland Gate, the great northern entrance
to Hyde Park, is shout to undergo a very great
improvement, it is said at the solo expense of Mr.
Hope, whose classical taste and princely munifi-
cence are so well known in the fashionable world.
The present structure, wi'h ins single carriage-way,
has always been extremely inconvenient, and even
dangerous, whenever the di:ve happened to be
thronged with equipages. Mr. HOPE has made an
offer to Government to remove the old gate, and
erect a new one with a double entrance, at his own
sole cost and expense. This offer the Government
has accepted : the workmen have ahead), begun
their operations.
In consequence of the LORD CH ANCELT.OR'S de-
cision in favour of the Trustees of the British Mu-
seum, the latter are ping to build two wings in
the garden behind, 315 fret long by 35 feet widr.
The estimated expense is 200,000/.. which the Go-
vernment will advance by iustalments of 20,0004
• year, during ten years. The present house is
not to be pulled down, but repaired and beautified,
so as to coil...pond as stear as possible with the new
work.• The library, the Townley collection of mar-
bles, and those things that are the heaviest, are to
be removed into the new wings, so that only the
light articles will be in the present house.
