WESTMINSTER HALL—NEW COURTS OF LAW.
The Hall is, now entirely cleared. The Coronation Galle-
ries, &c. which were sold by Lord GWYDYII, as Lord Great
Chamberlain of England, to Messrs. PAGE and Co., and by
them disposed of by auction, have been, taken away. A good
deal of the property sold uncommonly'well ; much of the timber,
for instance, although it had been used, nearly produced timber-
yard prices ; and some of the decorations were bought for high
sums, to be kept as memorials. The removals of the last por-
tions of. the property were completed yesterday morning ; and
this afternoon Messrs. PAGE and Co. were to return the keys of
the Hall to Lord Gw YDYR.

Westminster Hall is to be open to the ingress and egress of
the Public as heretofore; but as there are some considerable
repairs to be perfected, it is not expected that this can conve-
niently take place before the meeting of Parliament. Men
under, the direction of the Board of Works have already com-
menced their " labours. There are many of the windows to be
repaired ; the renovating and colouring of such parts of the
walls as could not be got at while rite galleries remained,
have to be done; and the figures that used to appear above the
se4s of the Lord Chancellor and the King's Bench Judges,
are to be again placed under the grand window in renovated
niches.

The Law Courts are not to be restored within the Hall; with
the exception of the stone staircases leading into the Courts of
Exchequer, of the Duchy of Lancaster, &c. which are on each'
side of the Hall-gate, the Hall will he entirely clear. The ar-
rangements for the erection of the new Courts have already com-
menced. They will be raised on graces now unoccupied, or to
be cleared, in a line with the stone buildin trs facing Henry V I Ith's
Chapel and St. Margaret's Church. The occupiers of Oliver's,
and the Exchequer Coffee-housts, of the large wine
.cellars's
(Mr. BELLAmrs), and of some portions of the apartments in
the stone buildings, have already been served, by the BOard of
Works, with notices to quit as early as possible. The plans
of the late Mr. WYATT have been partially followed, but the
whole are arranged and revised by and under the direction of Mr.
SoAN I:, the architect, who is attached to the Board of Works.
Mr. SoANE's plans have frequently been under the considera-
tion of the Lords of the Treasury, assisted by the advice of the
Judges, &c. The design is to erect four additional Courts ;
namely, for the Lord Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the
King's Bench Judges, and for the justification of bail. The
whole to be in line with the present Courts of Common
Pleas and Exchequer, without the western wall of the Hall,
but having entrances leading from Westminster Hall, as well
as from the 'open street before the stone buildings. These
alterations are to be begun after the conclusion of the present
Term, and the Nisi Prius Sittings by which it will be followed;
in the mean time the requisite clearances will be made, such as
getting out various occupants, &c. where the preparations will
not interfere with the proceedings in the existing Courts, and
the comforts of the Judges.
The exterior frontin,,,, St. Margaret's Church will be finished
so as to correspond and be uniform with the stone buildings al-
ready erected; and the range of buildings will terminate on the
present scite of Oliver's Coffee-house.

CROSS READINGS.-The following curious sen-
tences occur in the journals of the week, by

'GENERAL SUTTON.-General SUTTON, brother
to Sir RoBERT SUTTON, was very passionate, and
calling one morning on Sir ROBERT WALPOLE,
who was . quite the reverse, found his servant
shaving ihirn. During the conversation, Sir Ro-
bert said, 4C John, you cut me ;" and continued
the former subject of discourse. Presently he
said again, 44 John, you cut me ;" but as mildly
as before : and soon after he had occasion to say
it a third time ; when Sutton, starting up in a
rage, said, swearing-a great oath, and doubling
his fist at the servant, 46 If Sir Robert can bear it,
I cannot; and if you cut him once more, John,
I'll knock you down."
On Monday evening the tragedy, of Brutus
