farm it-elf into an edifice agreeable to its designation, and emble-
matical of the petite. • From the published Engraving of it, it will,
ao.doulit, be extremely beautitid; and from the numerous imprese.
.ments of aris, the scenic and pyrotechnic among the rest, it greater_
degree of AU and brilliancy may he fairly expected in transparen-
Cies and fireworks than in Coe exhibitions after the peace of Aix la
Chapelle. Yet we do not see that the outline of the design Is so
expensive or so magnificent. To be sure there was then no Chinese
Pagoda, no Vauxhall in the Park, and no Nantnachia on the Set-
pentine river. It is said, that the intended tire works will mice,'
any of the sort that has yet been attempted. The eight fonntains
will be ye?), beautiful.. The Chinese bridge and pagoda begin to
look very pretty. The general colour will be yellow, and all the
footings a very bright lihre. It will be almost covered with tamp.;
among which the gas lights will have the greatest share. Several
little .boats are swimming io the canal, which arc adorned with en-
ant) lamps. Five hundred men hise been at work fOr inure
than a month p.ist in preparing the tire works at Woolwich.
• Months for refreshments will be pllteed in proper situations round
the Park, with open Marquees pi Heil with seats for the aeeouii
modation of the company; bandi of music will attend, and proper
-paces marked out for those who chose to dance ; balloons of dif-
Irmo sizes, one large enough for two persons to ascend in the car
iittaehed to it, will ascend at ditleient tunes hi the evening.

Hyde-park is entirely open to the people, with even a greater
profusion of amusements than the other two. The Green Park is
31.40 to be thrown entirely open to the people ; the part within the
pill-Inn fence brim; enclosed merely for the military and artificers
engaged in the business of the fireworks, and not us has been re-
presented, for the reception of company.
The Mall also in St. James's Park„ %kith will be beautifully illu-
minated, will be open to the people, woo will have a free vaoage
from Spring-gardens and New-street, up to Constitution hill.. and
will thereby command a full view of'every pelt of the tire .work-k,
and other exhibitions to be displayed in St. James's Park, as well
as the other two.
The Lawn and back part of fit. James Park will be reserved for
the accommodation of those who may purchase tickets to avoid a
crowd. These persons may asstne themselves Oa; cvt ry preeatition
is taken for their happiness. comfort, and security, as well as ror
that of tlw people. who. may not choose to purchase tickets; and,
indeed, the general good humour and contentment, which cannot
hitt prevail in all ranks, and in every quarter, from the studious
attention that has been paid to the wishes of all, is a infficient
pledge of universal I.;.romity and good order. There is abundance
