IMPROVEMENTS AT HYDE PARK CORNIIR.
The public will not much longer be offended by the bare
scenery at Piccadilly-gate. A grand triumphal arch will adorn
the entrance into Hyde Park, and the new lime Of road will be
graced by a vista of corresponding beauty. The whole line of
road is marked out, and now the cavillers may see the extent
of ground apportioned off for Apsley House. Opposite, name.
ly, at the entrance into the Green Park, a new road, for the
accommodation of the King, has been made into the gardens of
13uckiughavn Douse. His Majesty passed two hours in the
preceding week viewing the progress of the workmen in the
grounds.

Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, the
Duke of York went in his cabriolet to the new building erecting
for his Royal Highness's future residence in the King's Palace,
St. James's, where his Royal Highness was met by Mr. Wyatt,
the architect, who attended the Royal Duke in inspecting the
proceedings of the building.
Mr. Secretary Canning *was seized on Sunday with a slight
attack of the rheumatic gout, which caused Dr. Holland and
Mr. Shuter to be sent for to attend the Right Hon. Gentleman.
By their attention and advice, the night Hon. Secretary wa:
sufficiently recovered to be enabled to leave London on Monday
On Monday the Earl of Harrowby transacted business at the.
Council Office, Whitehall-place.
The Earl of Harrowby transacted business on Monday after-

staying, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, an 1
came to her residence in the Stable-yard, St. James's, where her

Highness proceeded to her residence at Frogmore.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Sarah Robinson
are staying, on a visit to the Earl of Verulam, at Gorhambury.
We understand, from good authority, that the Duke of Sussex
intends visiting Edinburgh early next spring, and that Mr.
Brougham is expected to accompany his Royal Highness.—
( Caledonian Mercury. )
AIAuRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—We understand that a mar-
riage is on the tapis between a certain Noble Lord awl the
amiable and accomplished sister of a distinguished- Nobleman
in this county!—( Galway Paper. )
Lady E. Whitbread's house at Kensington Gore is under.
going thorough repair; its front is being completely renovated,
after considerable alterations in the centre windows, Sc.
The farming-stock of Wyke-house, at Brentford-End, or
rather in what is usually termed Isleworth, the residence of
E. Ellice, Esq., M.P., is to be brought to the hammer.

PROLOGUES AND EPILOGUIS.—It Seems that
the new Comedy forthcoming at Covent-gar-
den Theatre, is to be without Prologue and
Epilogue, and a respectable Morning Paper ob.
serves this day, that the abolition of them " has
long been desired as well by Managers as
Authors, and still more by the Public." That
Managers may be glad to get rid of them may
be admitted in one respect, as they must pay a
fee of two guineas to the Licencer for permission
to have them spoken ; but Managers know the po-
licy of preliminary appeals to the candour of the
audience,and the latter expect the entertainment
of a lively Epilogue. The custom, therefore, never
will be abolished, though it may be omitted on
a particular occasion. It is well that such a
Gothic abolition did not take place in earlier
times, for then we should not have had the ad-
mirable compositions of this kind from DRYDEN,
VANRURGH, POPE, and in later days from Dr.
JOHNSON, GARRICK, SHERIDAN, and many of
their witty contemporaries.

ALARMING FlRE.—Last night, about twelve
o'clock, a very great alarm was caused by the
explosion of some combustibles in the workshop of
Mr. EDGAR, firework manufacturer, Broad-street,
Tottenham-court-road, in a very singular manner.
The men had, upon leaving work, placed some
trifling fireworks together upon a shelf over a
bench upon which were some blue lights in a state
of preparation, which it is supposed must have ig-
nited from an inflammable material close to them,
and then burning upwards, exploded the fire-
work, and quickly the shop was enveloped in
flames. Fortunately, however, by great exertion,
they were confined to the workshops, and Mr.
Edgar's house sustained no damage. The work-
shops were entirely destroyed.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—AHOther of those me-
lancholy accidents, arising out of the careless
habits of sporting gentlemen, has just taken place
at Iligham, the seat of Francis Bentworth, Esq.,
near Ashby-de-la-Zouch. As Mr. HOINTROUGH
was passing through the small gate that leads
from the pleasure-grounds into the wood-walks,
the trigger of his gun was struck by a projecting
piece of the latch, and, shocking to relate, the
contents lodged iu his head. He expired before
he could be taken back to the house. To add to
the distress of this event, he had just been ap-
pointed to a lucrative situation in South America,
and,had not been married a week.
