THE POOR AND ST. JAMES'S PA RK.—A Cor-
respondent informs us that a poor man cannot, like his fel
low citizens, pass through the public part of St. James's
Park ; the Gatekeepers have received strict orders not to
permit any poor, homely-clad person, to pass through the
inelosure. In con3rquerice of this interdict respectable ar-
tizans are daily repulsed, and a badge of exclusion is fited
on them the most brutal, insulting, and unjust that can well
be conceived. A poor, but honest and truly respectable
bookseller, to the crime of wearing a threadbare coat, re-
cently added the offence of carrying on his shoulder a score
of Bibles; the scoundrel who thus presumed to show before
Park-folks that he was an industrious und useful member of
society, was of course rt.fm,d admittance. Another wretch,
with a coarse jacket, who had risen from a bed of s7ckness,
and wished to inhale the fresh air of the Park, was driven
away with all but blows by the booted guardian of the gate.
It appears that none but finely dressed ladies and gentle-
men, with their pampered menials, may presume to plss
through
h e
St. James's Park. This is the rule, and a truly
Englis on it is.
HEREDITARY GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER.
—M. Tolstoy, attached to the suite of his Imperial High-
ness the Grand Duke Alexander, arrived at Mivart's Hotel,
on Sunday, from the Hague. We understand that the
visit of the Grand Duke to this country is now placed be.
yond doubt, for orders have been received, to have hii
apartments at Mivart's in readiness by Friday morning.
Mr. Mivart has also received instructions to make accom.
rnodatien for his Royal Highness Prince William Henry
of the ii,:therlands, who intends to come with tine Grand
Duke.

LIGHTING THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.-
BuDE LIGHT.—Advantage was token of the early hour at
which the House of Commons rose last night to try the
experiment of lighting the House with the Bude light.
Two out of the eight lenses were illuminated, and the
effect produced was most satisfactory. The light is clear
and powerful, yet, in consequence of its equal diffusion,
perfectly free from glare. We understand it is intended
to repeat the experiment on Saturday next, substituting
ground glass lenses for those at present in use.

EXTENSIVE FIRES.—On Monday morning,
at two o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in a house of ill
fame, situate in Brunswick-street, St. George's-in-the-
East, and considerab!e damage was done before it was got
under, although the engines were almost immediately on
the spot at the commencement. The property destroyed
is insured. About the same time another fire occurred on
the premises of Mr. G. Barker, shoemaker, situated in
Homer row, Marylabone, which also caused much damage.
It was occasioned by the inmates destroying vermin in a
bedstead. The premises are not insured. Another
fire happened on Monday in the warehouse belongine.
to Mr. Passenger, glass-merchant, Leman-street, South:
wark, and was not got under for some time. The
damage is extensive. The property is insured in the Sun
Fire-office. On Saturday morning last the lower part of
the premises of Mr. Barber, haberdasher, No. 151, Union-
street, Borough, was destroyed by fire. The inmates,
consisting of 18 persons, had a most narrow escape. The
extent of the damage was estimated at 5001. On the same
morning the dwelling-house of Mr Elliot, in Arlington-
street, St. John's road, Islington, narrowly escaped
destruction by fire. Property to the value of 300/. was
consumed ; insured in the Sun-office. On Saturday in-
formation was received at the fire-offices of a mast disas-
trous conflagration which happened in the city of Glas-
gow on Wednesday night, and attended with loss cf life.
It broke out in Mitchell.street, and destroyed eight dwel-
lin'o-Anuses.
EVERLASTING BOOTS !—OOIOIICI Maceroni
states that he has had only three pairs of boots fur three
years, and be thinks ho shall not want any more for five
) ears to come And why ? Why. because he has studied
out a
ptc:erving pr.pration, suitable to the leather, and ap-
plied in a suitable manner.—Mechanics' Magazine.
