VACANT GROUND NEAR ST. PAUL'S.—On Monday
and Tuesday the committee appointed by the Institute
of British Architects, consisting of Sir Charles Barry,
Messrs. Donaldson, Angell, Penrose, Stoles Nelson,
and most of the leading architects, headed by the chair-
man of the committee, Mr. Tite, had interviews with Sir
W. Molesworth and Lord Palmerston, in order to solicit
the support of the Government to this most desirable
improvement. The proposal for leaving open this land
met with the most decided approval of both the Minis-
ters, who promised their cordial support, as well on the
grounds of public convenience and health as on the ar-
tistic groutuls which are now so distinctly felt and
acknowledged by every one who has seen the cathedral
from this spot. The authorities of the cathedral are
willing to co-operate in this movement and in a large,
scheme of improvement in that neighbourhood. It ap-
pears that the Commissioners of Sewers and the Corpo-
ration have arranged for continuing Aldersgate-street
southwards, so as to set back the whole eastern end of
Cheapside as soon as the leases of the two houses stand-
ing there have run out, and a plan was submitted to
Lord Palmerston by which this communication was pro-
posed to be carried to a new bridge (on a site often sug.
gested) at the bottom of Old Change, by which a great
communication across the city from north to south
would be effected, and the whole east end and south side
of St. Paul's completely thrown open. It has been sug-
gested by some members of the corporation that the
means of effecting a considerable part of these improve-
ments might be found by continuing the coal-tax for ono
year after 1862, at which time it expires. That tax, of
is. ld. per ton, produces now about 180,0001. per an-
num ; of which the proportion arising from 9d. per ton
is paid to the Government and the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests for Improvements in other parts of
the metropolis, and the remaining 4d. is reserved to the
corporation for the improvement of New Cannon-street.
