IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. PAUL'S-OHURCRYARD.—A cor
respondent of a contemporary says the Society of Archi-
tects have called a special meeting to consider the ques-
, tion, as, to appeals to the authorities of the City to keep
uncovered with houses the space of ground now bared
And, lying
,west of Old 'Chapge, and between New Can-
non-street and St. Paul's-churchyard. The surveyor
; and architect to the Cathedral chimes in with the general
suggestion on-the subject. The corporation is not dead
(he adds) to the beautiful and picturesque. They are
not steeped to the teeth in utilitarianism, as is generally
supposed. The following fact is full of hope, and indi
cates•the existence of a certain amount of good taste and
right judgment. much
,t.o be admired :—At the end of
Newgate-street, opposite St, Martin's-le:Grand, stands
a block of buildings, which, uutil lately, shut out the
view of the Cathedral from that point. Oneof the houses
either fell down or was pulled down to prevent its Tailing,
and threugh the chink thus-made the glory of the dome of
St. Paul's was revealed in all its majesty. So striking
was the effect produced that one branch of the corpora-
tion purchased the. site of the house, with the view of
ultimately throwing open the whole area. between the
Post-office and the Cathedral. To effect this will require
an expenditure of probably 50,0001. to 80,0001. Yet
the Improvement Committee, for the sake of some
30,0001. or 40,000/. is said to be contemplating the sale
of the ground now in their possession on the south side, •
which, if accomplished, will be a lasting disgrace, as it
Win for ever close up that noble View of out. metropoli-
tan church. Should the City concede this point, there ,
are good reasons for believing that the Cathedral autho-
rides will set
back the railings at, the end of Ludgate..
street, and give a wider space for the crushing traffic of'
that locality. Nor is it improbable that ere long the
'entire railing will be set back, and the elevated ground
of the churchyard brought down to the level of the ad-
joining streets, which, when Tamed over and opened to
thepublic, will not only facilitate pedestrian traffic, but
greatly improve the health of the neighbourhood.
CORONER'S INQUEST AT SYDNEY.--An

which was found on searching deceased's clothes. She
informed him that the deceased's name was Calverley
Hosiack, and that he had been Connected with the firm
