TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

)I the
below

Sts,—The House of Commons conversations upon this
affair prove how easily and trippingly the complaints of
the public are disposed of in that assembly, and how in-
adequately their interests are represented, When supplies
were Amended for the expensive improvements of St.
James's Park an animating picture was drawn of the beauty
it would give to the metropolis. A grand entrance into St.
James's Park, from the southern extremity of Regent-
st•eet was to have outvied the debouche into the Regent's-
Park at the northern termination of the street. A noble
fountain was to have issued from the bottom of the gentle
slope where the architectural features of the street became
mingled with the sylvan beauties of the Park, and the
man of taste was delighted with the animating and rural
scene which would eventually greet the eye of the pas-
senger through Regent-street, Piccadilly, and Pall-mall.
But the supplies obtained, the Park laid out, enclosed,
and planted, and the pudding-cap palace built, the mask
was thrown off, and the expectations raised were falsified.
An excuse was fist found for emitting the fountain ; then
the anode of executing the entrance to the Park was un-
decided,—the❑ there were to be only two entrances for
foot passengers,—and, finally, in disregard of all previous
promises, and of the accommodation of the public, in op-
position to every feeling of good taste and propriety, in ex-
clusion of the fine views of the Park, and in destruction of
that noble entrance to St. James's Park which is so much
wanted, and which in no other way can be supplied, Re-
gent-street terminates in a huge mound of earth, which
excludes all access to the Park, and even conceals it froth
observation, save and except the tops of the trees, which
appear like a long hedge, or a row of gooseberry-trees
crossing and crowning the hill.
Th• motive of this monstrosity it might be difficult for
a foreigner, visiting the metropolis, to guess at, but it
may be accounted for in one word.—viz. commission.
There is a commission to the architect upon every thing
pulled down, and upon every thing built up, upon every
alteration made, and upon every freak of extravagance
committed. The commsssion upon ground let for build-
ing on is understood to be one year's ground-rent to the
architect. _ _

"Another undertaking for the more general distribution
of knowledge, and one which bids fair to occupy an enlarged
station in our literature. This work will, we are per-

flaking thetneelves acquainted with the noble stores of clas-
bits literature, which must tend to enlighten and improve
the mind far beyond the more evanescent productions of
the day."—Literary Gazette.
" Mr. Valpy has projected a ' Family Classical Library.'
The idea is excellent, and the work cannot fail to be ac-

of the reading community, who have not had the benefit of
a learned education.".—Gentleman's Magazine.

It now turns out that the public money lavished upon
beautifying St. James's Park, was not laid out so much to
adorn the metropolis as to promote a building speculation.
The palaces and their gardens which surrounded the Park
are to be prostrated to make room for rows of speculation
dwelling-houses, having a frontage to the Park. But the
site of Carlton-palace gardens was not naturally adapted
for a row of houses ; the soil was a marsh, and there was
no going down for kitchens and offices. To have built
detached houses, with offices at the sides of them, would
not have yielded so much ground-rent us a solid row of
houses by some hundred pounds a year. To build a row
of houses it became necessary to raise the kitchens above
the surface, and the dwelling-houses above the kitchens;
and to raise the street to the level of what we generally call
the first floor. This is now done, and for the trumpery gain
of a few hnndred pounds per annum additional ground-
rent, the unsightly mound has been rained—Regent-street
is blockaded—the grand entrance to the Park is sacrificed
—and the beauty of both park and street is in a great de-
gree destroyed.
It would be an insult to common sense to speak of the
rows of tall houses begun to be built around, and even within
the boundary of, the Park, as an improvement. They
absolutely destroy the scenery, and the very character of
the Park. The Palace gardens, which formerly blended
with the scenery of the Park, concealed its real limits,
and extended the apparent foliage of the Park without any
visible termination. But the cows of houses which now
overtop the trees define the boundary in a manner destruc-
tive of every thing picturesque or parklike. They at
once reduce the Park to the likeness of Ruston or Rus-
sell-square, anti expose its ultimate object and real charac-
ter to be a building speculation.
This is too bad ; but it is sti!l worse to deny the pub•
lie, who have paid so largely for park and street, even a
foot entrance from one to the other. It way add to the
snugness of the row of speculation houses, for the tenants
to have that end of the street for their exclusive use; but
something is due to the public; at any rate, if the public
are nothing, the Peers and Members of Parliament, and
Magistrates, who are in daily transit from their resideucea
at the west end of the town to their official chambers at
Westminster, deserve consideration. Is it not too bad,
when they are walking down Regent-street, with West-
minster-hall in a straight line before them, to impede
their progress, and compel them to go at least a quarter of
a mile round by Charing-cross, and to wend their retro-
grade way through a narrow court to the Park? I trust
that something will be yet done to yield to the public that
modicum, of the accommodation promised them for their
money, which consists in allowing them a foot entrance
from Regent-street to the Park : the deformities are now
past cure. I am, Sir, &e.
A SPECTATOR.

The gentleman who first spoke, and who, together with
his friend, appeared as if they had been up all night, and
were hardly yet recovered from the effects of the wine of
which they had partaken, again addressed the Magistrate,
and begged that Ru;vbottom might be sent for, as it was
he only who ought to pay the fare.
Mr. MINsIIULL decided, however, that the gentlemen
were liable to the fate, and directed them to pay it accord-
ingly, otherwise they must continue in custody until the
claim was satisfied.

The gentlemen looked significantly at etch other, and
he who had kept slent declared he had no money about
him ; whereupon, his friend, diving his forefinger and
thumb into the fob of his trowser's pocket, fished up 55.;
but a, the coachman would not consent to take a note-of-
hand for the balance, one of the gentlemen was consigned
to the safe-keeping of Ford, while the other went for a
supply of the needful, which, however, he speedily pro-
cured, and the coachman being satisfied, the parties were
suffered to retire.

Some curiosity having been excited with respect to the
trip of the above gentlemen and their friends to Chalk-
farm, it appeared upon inquiry, that the object of the
journey was to settle an affair of honour, arising out of a
dispute between Lieutenant Wise, of the Coast Blockade,
(the gentleman in the military coat already referred to)
and Captain Fairfield, a veteran officer in the army, on
half-pay. The quarrel took place in the " Finish," at an
early hour in the morning, where the Ciptain, it is said,
in comparing the military with the naval service, spoke
rather disrespectfully of the latter, and made some harsh
commants upon the blockade establishment, which drew
from the Lieutenant an angry rejoinder. A message was
immediately exchanged between the disputants, seconds
were appointed, and Chalk-farm named as a fit place
to decide the quarrel. But here a difficulty arose ;
for, although the soul of each party was in arms,
and eager for the fray, it was found, upon inquiry, that
neither of the principals, however used to the smell
of gunpowder, possessed the weapons necessary to de-
cide an affair involving the honour of gentlemen. Row-
bottom, however, undertook to procure a case of feather-
spring pistols, and it was finally determined that lie should
accompany the combatants to the scene of action, mounted
on the coach-box with the deadly weapons, a flask of
powder, and a score of bullets in his custody. From mo-
tives of economy, as well as a chivalrous resolution to
smoother the flame of their animosity until they should be
pitted against each other in the field of honour, it was
agreed that the parries and their second.. should ride to
Chalk-farm in the same coach. Matters having been thus
concluded, the Lieutenant, aware of the hazard of the ex-
pected
meeting, slipped out, and proceeded to the Ship
public-house on the other side of the way, where he called
for pen, ink, and papa, awl wrote his last will and tes-
tament
; which, being signed and sealed, was delivered
into the safe keeping of the landlady of the Ship, with di-
rections that she should place it in the hands of a third
party, in the event of any thing fatal occurring
to the testator. Rowbottom, i❑ the meanwhile, had pro-
cured a coach, in which the five gentlemen took their
places, but upon arriving at Chalk-farm, it was discovered
that Rowbottom and the pistols were no where to be found.
The Captain and Lieutenant were at first indignant at the
hoax which bad thus been played upon them ; but after a
while it was agreed that instead of resorting to pistol and
ball to settle their dilfrence, alley should aojourn to the
tavern of Chalk-farm and drown their animosity over a
friendly glass of brandy and new milk. This being done,
the parties returned to town by the same conveyance, and
in revenge for the trick which Rowbottom had played
them, it was res rived that he should pay the coach-hire to
and fro. This determination led to the scene at Bow-
street which we have already described ; and it now only
remains to be stated, that as soon as the Lieutenant obtain-
ed his liberty, he hastened to mine hostess of thd Ship,
and claimed from that lady the document which he had
placed in her hands, receiving in return her hearty oongra-
tulations at the result of an affair which promised so much
disaster.

EXECUTION OF SHAW, AT YORK.

(From the York Courant of yesterday.)

This unfortunate man, who was found guilty on Friday,
of the barbarous murder of Raeheel Crossley expiated his
offence on the New Drop, behind the Castle, yesterday
morning.

The Indifferent coolness which he maintained during his
long trial, and which did not forsake him when the
Learned Judge pronounced the awful sentence of the law,
did not continue long with 'dill after he bad slept soundly
on Friday night ; for on Sunday morning he began to give
indications of a mind " ill at ease," and to conduct him-
self as a man who would in a few hours be numbered
with the dead. He read alternately and sung hymns
during the whole of the day, and at night slept soundly
several hours. On Sunday he partook of the Holy
Sacrament, and read much in the Scriptures and Hook
of Common Prayer, and occasionally sung, We be-
lieve that he has not made any detailed confession of
his guilt ; but during the morning, he said, "My
sentence is a just one; and, as for the rest, the Lird
knows all about it." On the solemn occasion of the
Sheriff demanding his body, iu reply to a question
whether he wished to snake any communication, he re-
plied, " I have told all I have to say." At a few minutes
before twelve o'clock he was conducted to the fatal plat-
form. He trembled so excessively when he had reached
the drop, that it was necessary for a person to support
bins, At this moment a half-suppressed murmur ran
through the immense crowd of persons, of both sexes, and
of all ages, who were assembled to witness the execution.
The spectators had taken their station on the mound of
earth in front of the drop, within the railing, and the "sea
of heads" rising one over another, gave it the appearance of
a large amphitheatre. On the rope being adjusted, and
the cap drawn over his ftce, ;le said, " Do protect me,
O Lord l" The platform instantly fell, but the criminal
had scarcely been suspended, before a gust of wind blew
the cap from his head, and displayed to the dense mass of
people his countenance distorted by the struggle of death.
It was instantly handed up on the wand of one of the
bailiffs below, ;Ind replaced ever the ghastly count mince.
A few more eonvulsivg throes, and the mortal agony was
past. After hanging the usual time, the body was taken
down, to be delivered to the
aurgeons, in order that the
remainder of the sentence of the law might be carried into
effect.

A gentleman of this vicinity who yesterday re-
turned from Ilorncastle, states that the snow was severa
feet deep upon the hills near that town, and five or six
inches above the level ; this severity had a dreadful effect
upon the lambs; the farmers were searching in every di •
rection for sheep which had strayed from their usual pas-
tures, and many of which had perished. —Boston Gazette.
