ST. JAMES'S PALACE.

The elide apartments comprehend six ehesehers. The
first is the Goal d Chamber, at the top of the stair. This
has been 'slimly repaired ; and on the right hand there is
■ characteristic chisnary-pieee, instead of the ill-shaped
clumsy fireplace which previonaly disgraced this approach
to the grand rooms. Thrall room, cootinuieg to advisee',
is the Presence Chamber. This Chamber has been remo-
delled, sad a large hoodoo*, omegasl window introduced.
This produces the best erect, and has rendered ■ gloomy
room very light sad cheerful. The Privy Chamber, which
farms the samens end of tie geese woe that rues from
east to west, parallel 10 the Half in the Park, and is, strictly
speaking, the immediate Geese of the Court; this is
entirely new, from the 'modalities, sod is a contieuetion
of the old suite of stale sputter/ems. The Chamber i■ of
noble dissensions, being nearly 70 feet in length, and ►aving
fuer wit/dues towards the gardes and Park beyond. A
/sapid omit marble chiseseeppiece occupies the crates on the
east end. The Anti-drawing Room; sod the Drawing Room;
is which little alteration appears, except in the Introduction
▪ splendid chimney pieces of statuary 1111.1,414., taken from
the library of Quer. Caroline in the Stehle-yard, built by
►eat. The workmanship of these is unseeingly floe, and
the design. very lick. The Thrust is at the upper centre of
the drawing room, N 0.5; and from the chimney of the room,
N 0.3, the *iota, throve§ the middle door. of the anti-drew-
ing.rooms, is about 400 feet !! The coup area must he inde-
scribably greed, when all the three apartments are filled
with rank and beauty. The ceilings of the principal rooms,
3,4, and 3, are, what we believe are called coved, open hand-
sonic cornices carved and gilt. This gives the apartments a
specious and lofty appearance; and there beiog four large
windows is each, the whole snit is very ineposieg. The roods
are lo be filled with mirrors, mod a noble collection of the
Royal Pietist es. Over t►e chimney in the drawing-room, Law-
restre's splendid portrait of George IV. surronaded by the f.se
old earvinp of Gristle), Gibbose, of which many ate pre-
served in the Palace, will be the principal object. Is the
anti-drawing room, a portrait of the venerated George 111.

of Quern Agee will be attended by the great Marlbutough,
triumphs of Uale sad Tot/easy, Blenheim, and other historical

to the pretest era; including, of course, wine of the most
celebrated works of Hulbein and Vstidsle. The unrivalled

Beyond the Drawieg Room is 'hr Royal Closet; into which
there are two doors, one on each side of the Throne. Re-
voed the Closet is the Kings Retiring Roues and the other

LORD N--'a LAST Put.—A certain witty
Judge lately raked a friend if hr had ever been to
see the Pier at flowth ? Bring answered in the
affirmative, his Lordship exclaimed, " Then you

which has just taken place—the Peer (alluding to
the death of the Earl of flowni) is carried off;
one excellent and worthy fellow has lost his life,
and numbers of the pour people have 'oat their
means of support."
