A NEW RIDE IN ST. JAMES'S PARK—Altera-
tions of an extensive character are going on in St.
James's-park, with a view to provide a ride for horsemen,
such as that of Rottenrow, in Hyde-park. The portion of
the park which Mr. Cowper, the Chief Commissioner of
Works, has set apart for this purpose extends from Storey's-
gate to Buckingham Palace, being the whole length of
Birdcage-walk, It has hitherto formed part of what is
known as the enclosure, which has been devoted to the use
of persons who are not fortunate enough to have horses and
carriages, and who have extensively availed themselves of
it for the purposes of recreation. A space between 30 and
40 feet of ground in depth, along the whole length of the
walk, has been dug up, and is now a rudis indigestaque
moles. In the course of a few days the railings on the
north side of Birdcage-walk will be removed 30 or 40 feet
back, and that large and important strip of ground will be
cut off from the enclosure. As soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made, it will be thrown open as a ride
for the exclusive use of the aristocracy.

THE PRINCE OF WALES'S SEAT IN NORFOLK.
—SANDRINGHAM, Sept. I.—Great preparations are
being made for the reception of their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales for the shooting season
after their return from Denmark. The prospects of the
shooting season on the royal estate are very good, as there
is a great quantity of partridges, an abundance of pheasants,
and every variety of game. The, very dry season has of
course been very favourable tolgame preserving, and, poach-
ing being almost unknown here, the principal enemy which
the keepers have had has been Master Reynard, a good
supply of foxes being preserved by the directions of the
prince. The alterations and improvement which have
been and are being made under the direction of Mr
Carmichael, the resident steward, are very marked, and
have already completely changed the aspect of the estate.
The plantations, which had become completely overgrown
and choked with rank underwood have been thinned, por-
tions of the park have been raised and planted, and new
and excellent roads made. A new and commodious house
has been provided within the park for the head keeper,
and on the table land before it have been constructed
13 large pheasantries, each being about fifty feet
square, all connected, and forming one large and
compact block. The kitchen garden, which has been
laid out, and is to supply the royal table with fruit
and vegetables throughout the year, comprises 15
acres of land, 7 of which are completely enclosed
with brick walls, that on the north side being of great
height, and parallel with it are six large grape conserva-
tories. Tho new labourers' dwellings each of which is pro-
vided with three sleeping apartments, approach completion,
and others are to be commenced. All the old cottages have
been repaired, painted, and ingrained. The royal stables
have been still further extended, so as to show uniformity
of appearance, and afford sufficient accommodation for his
royal highness's stud. The comptroller's house, which is
really a very beautiful mansion, situated in the park to the
south-west of the hall, is completed. A model of Sandring-
ham Hall has been constructed according to the plan of
Mr Humbert, and if they are carried out a splendid palace
will supersede the present modest mansion of Sandringham
House. Nothing has as yet been decided in the matter
The beautiful Norwich gates and their accompaniments are
on the point of completion—the decorator being now
engaged in putting the finishing touch to them. The Home
Farm falls into the hands of the Prince of Wales at
Michaelmas.

THE GAME SEASON IN THE EAST.—The game
season commenced under favourable auspices ou Thurs-
day, in the partridge district of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Lincolnshire. The weather was beautifully fine, the
air fresh and invigorating, and it may emphatically be
said to have been a " glorious first." Game is considered
plentiful, although in some localities partridges have been
picked up dead from the effects of the drought. In conse-
quence of the turnips having attained but a meagre deve-
lopment, while the birds are very strong and wild, sports-
men have had to put forth active exertions in order to make
up good tags. In the neighbourhood of Stamford many
gentlemen were on the alert shortly after 4 a.m.
THE HARVEST IN CUMBERLAND.—Harvesting is
now general in the county of Cumberland, even in the
localities that are usually late. The fine weather of the
past few weeks has brought the grain well forward, and
much is already safe " under thack and rape." The
wheat crop is generally spoken of as an average crop ; bar-
ley and eats have done well in most places. Turnips have
been greatly benefi tted by recent rains, and the pastures
which in many cases had been quite burnt, up by the
drought, are looking better,
SINGULAR. CASE OF SUPPOSED INFANTICIDE.—
Yesterday morning about 6 o'clock, two females called at
a coffeehouse at the Market-head, Woolwich, and partook
of refreshments, after which one of the women was, at her
request, allowed to go up-stairs. Shortly afterwards both
parties left the house in a hurried manner, and in conse-
quence of some suspicious circumstances a search was made,
which resulted in the discovery of the body of a newly-born
infant secreted in the apartment which the women referred
to was allowed to enter, The police were immediately in-
formed and pursuit was made, but neFllier of the females
have yet been apprehended.
