We are happy to find that Government have at
length seriously determined to improve the external
appearance of the Two Hou'es of Parliament, and
to give to the present shapeless pile of building a
regular form. The alterations and improvements
will be upon a very extensive scale, and it will pro-
bably be some years before they are completed. It
is intended, in the first instance, to take down all
the private hones and buildings in Palace-yard,
which join Westminster Hall and the Exchequer.
'nit- great North Front of Westminster Hall is to
be restored as nearly as possible to its original state;
and the Court of Exchequer on the West, and Ex-
chequer Offices on the East side of it will have new
Gothic fronts. In the interior of Westminster Hall,
the Skreen, which now divid s the Courts of Chan-
cery and King's Bench from the rest of the Hall, is
' to be removed, and the Hall restored to its original
dimensions, and new Courts are to be constructed
in the same manner as the Common Pleas. The
private houses which adjoin the House of Lords in
Old Palace yard will immediately be taken down,
and the House of Lords will be new fronted, to cor-
' respond with the rest of the building. When these
improvements shall have been completed, it is pro-
posed to pull down all the houses in Margaret-street,
so as to throw the Abbey completely open; and it
is said that the houses which now form the Terrace
in Palace-yard, and the whole of the soligh of
Bridge-street, will be taken down.
