GATEWAY IN ST. JAMES'S-PARK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,-It would be a great desideratum if an opening
were cut out in the iron railing round the enclosure of
St James's-park, at. the curve opposite to the Duke of
York's Column, as pedestrians and promenaders would
find it much more pleasant and agreeable (particularly
in wet weather) to walk inside in preference to the out-
side of the enclosure, either across to Bird-cage-walk, or
vice vend, or from and to Pimlico, on the north side.
The insertion, in your much-read and popular paper,
of these few lines will, I am sure, oblige many, but, espe-
cially, yours respectfully,
Victoria-square, Pimlico, Jan. 10, 1853.

THE FRENCH AT DOVER.—The French man-of-war
Con-e, bristling with cannon, put into Dover harbourLoan
Thursday morning. It was imagined by some that she
was the avant courrier of an invading French squadron,
and thoughts were entertained of calling out the Dover
division of the East Kent Militia. It turned out, how-
ever, that our French brother had been induced to take
refuge in our friendly port, partly in consequence of ad-
verse winds, and pai ,ly on account of running short of
water and other necessaries. In proof of the good feel-
ing subsisting, however, between the two nations, we
may notice that the officers of the French vessel were
on Friday invited to dine with the officers of the Western
Heights; Commander Herrick, and the naval officers of
the town, were also invited to meet them.—Kenti/6
