ci a y prattreed :an a's'S eh-IWage in the Parks'
/ scarcely less inunCrous,.than on the prect.ding day;
and new 'amusement for
• The principal subject of anxious, inquiry was
the dettrtiction of th'-.! Pagoda, On the Bridge iii
St. James's Park, a eircumstan'et which threw a
considerable glooMover the latter part of the ex-
hibitionS an that direction.. This light `and beau-
tiful structure has been completely burned 'down
to the first story, and exhibits a melancholy Wm&
of it's foriner elegance. At first it WaS niniolired
that Several nieri had loci their liveS' 'frOnt this (.6-
tastrophe ; but upon Intptiry, from authentic
soUrees, We learn that only one man was killed on
the spot.. This man was a laniplighter, and his
retreat having been cut off by the ..flames whirl
rose front below, he precipitated hittiself
"upon R
stage which floated under the bridge, and which
had been prepared for lighting the lamps,. and he
Was killed by the fall. There were other men in 7
jured WILLIAM WOOD, JOI-il,l SCOTT, JAMES
DAY, JOHN 'TAYLOR, and. two others; wlibe
names we Could not learn, Ilia who were all ear-
'pent el'S. JOHN sing died ; he
left a wife hind four children to deplore hi; iosi.
It appeared that in the hurry of discharging some
of the fireworks, room was not lett for a rocket-
wheel 'to play; rind the flame bursting. constantly
on one spot, ignited the timber, and thus-pro-
duced the lan-witted calainitv•
In Hyde Park; too; we are to state; 'that some
accidents occurred, principally arising fi:Otri per:-
suns impr'udently_ ascending the branches of trees,
• which broke froin their weight._ One young wo-
man- had her thigh broken from one of these
branches- falling ,on. her, as she sat beneath
,it,
and two vouti,rsaetiliaff their arms broken.
.
_At Kensington Gardens,,about twelve o'clock
on Monday- night; inst at the close of the fire-
works, two rockets took an-horizontal direction;
one of which struck a Gentleman -on the calf of
the leg and cut hintseverely ; the other struck a
-(..4entlenian in the body. lie was.carried by tour
men to a neighbouring Marquee, apparently con-
siderably injured.
. At four o'clock yesterday evening, St. James's
Park presented a scene of great gaiety ; thousands
of well-dressed persons -were seen promenading
near the canal, and With the exception of the dis-
charge of fireworks, and illuminations, the scene
was not less pleasing than on the preceding even-
ing. The Canal was covered with boats, fanciful-
ly decorated, in which various parties were seen
rowing 14aekwards dud forward's,. enjoying at
their ease tiie picturesque beauties of the spectacle.
. From St. Jaincs'.sPark the throng proceeded
to the Green Park, where the Temple, which we
have so fully described, and the Royal Booth,
underwent their close inspection.. From this
place the multitude Rdvaneed towards Hyde Park,
avhere the sources of attraction Were more novel,
as well as Inoue suitable, to the prevailing taste;
than those displayed elsewhere. Thezreater pa-t
of this immense Park, in fact, is covered with
tents,
.booths,, and stalls, for the sale of every
thing which is usually ,ventled at fairs--toys,
jewellery, millinery, hardware, and sweatmeats,
of all sorts. Here are also eating-houses of all
descriptions, known by atliousand different signs,
and kept by the hosts of some of the most cele-
brated " houses of call.; in Londo.n—whcre the
consumption,of bottled ale and potter exceeded
almost the power of calculation. :Brewers' drays
were seen crossing the Park in all directions,
laden with draft porter, and carts constantly'
groaned under the weight of the ps'ovisions which
were carrying to satisfy the ,craving appetites 'of
the multitude.

• , The clumps of trees forming natural" arbours
have bcea taken possession of by those who conid
not afford to purchase tents—and hil-e./Olin Bull
and his family were to be seen participating in all
the voluptuous enjoyments of the pliice,
The heets,, whielfr hear the 'narks of the actions
in Which they were eogaged,.came in tor their
share of examination; as did the hulks of those
vessels which -bad been burnt. to the water's

edge.

How long this carnival -is lo be continued we
know not, but at present it seems to afford a fund
of amnsement to the populace. Frolic and mer-
riment reigned triumphant to a late hour last
night; and will, .no doubt, be continued with
equal vigour during this evening.
The lawn of St. James's' Park was also last
night thrown open to the public. - A tempi:vary
bridge, for which its architects raised a contribu-
tion of a penny each from t. 1.0 curious, conveyed
them 'across the palings oppoti.te Carlton 'louse.
The gateway in front of, the Stable-yard- was,
however, opened gratis, and the crowd prome-
nadedat their ease thrpugh the paths hitherto
consecrated to their stqi,eriors-. The wonders of
this enclosure have been all eadytold, and t-ve have
but w add the fallen' glories of the Pagoda, which
now stands shorn at all its stories but the two
lowest. Of- the third, only-a melancholy skele-
ton is left to tell what it was in happier times.—
The spirit of the regatta still reigned, though- "its
regnhtrity %vas done away; and •the boats moved
up and down, conveying under the Pagoda those
who,felt interested in a nearer aparoach to the
ruins. than was allowed by the palings on terra
firma.

The jtidicions, regulation whiCh secured the
Parks on Monday from the entrance of carriages.,
was last night dispensed with-; but this regula-
lation is almost indispensabk for the comfort
and .safety of the pedestrians, and it might to
.be
renewed, if the amusements are intended to ccin -
•
thine.

It is said, that the Temple in the Gyeen Park
is to be illuminated on the l2th, the REGENTS
Birth-day, wltbfireworks.

'meat at her-palate, to a large party, to view the.
