OPENING of the NEW COAL EXCHANGE.
HER MAJESTY'S VISI r.
No doubt the reader would esteem it strange,
If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ;
And, therefore. as the Queen's to come, I'll greet her,
By writing on the coals a little metre.
My lyirning loyalty I cannot smother,
Nor yet exchange this subject for another.
The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her
A very wirm reception on the river.
Success, I say, to that commercial scheme
Whose memorable opening forms my theme ;
For, oh ! each portion of the pile is rife,
With fond ideas of home and homely life,
And now, shall I be quitting the sublime,
By introducing Moses in my rhyme?
No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control,
Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal.
Moses and Son's attire is so well made
That it has long en-ured a flare-up trade.
Moses and Son. whose words ne'er end in smoke,
Have given monopoly a timely poke ;
May I not add, too, that the Coal Exchange
not by any means the sole Exchange ?
Moses and Son at their Depot arrange,
To exchange your goods without a word's exchange ;
And hence it is that s'ich a stir is made
By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade.

THE CHOLERA.—MANCLIESTBR, OCT. 27.—1 t is
gratifying to be able to state that the cholera, although
not quite extinct, is rapidly disappearing from among
us. A few fatal cases have occurred during the past
week, principaily among young children, and chiefly
from diarrhoea. Continued attention is shown by the
authorities to the condition and wants of those who have
been suffering from illness; but the demands on the care
and skill of the medical officers are daily diminishing,
and in a very short time their services will be altogether
dispensed with. Reports, announcing the gradual dis-
appearance of the disease, have been received from
nearly all the surrounding towns and villages, including
Stockport, Bolton, Ashton-under-Lyne, Rochdale, Bury,
Oldham, Macclesfield, and Warrington. In most or all
of these places the medical officers engaged in attending
to cases of cholera and diarrhcea have been relieved from
thcir harassing duties, and the parochial officers are
instructed to report promptly in any case that may occur.
THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT CHELSEA.—At
Westminster Police-court on Saturday, the whole of the
witnesses against Thomas M‘Donald, Mary his wife, and
Mary Fox, were bound over to prosecute the accused,
who were fully committed for trial at the Central Cri-
minal Court for the robbery of Thomas lli`Growran or
M`Guire.

It is not one of the least cogent objections which the
advocates of the Republican theory of Government
urge against Monarchical institutions, that under
these latter the peace and stability of society depend
too much upon the personal character of the Sovereign.
If the intelligent and influential agree on system to
regard a single fallible human being with artificial
severance and theatrical respect ; if those upon whom
the direction of the spi: it of public opinion rests,
train the ignorant and vulgar to look upon one parti-
cular personage of a whole nation as illustrious and
entitled to command universal homage, it is above all
things necessary to the success of such a pageant,
that the chief actor should play up to his part, if he
would save himself from being hissed; if he would
keep down the cry of ' Off! off!" from the shilling
gallery; if he would prevent the whole play from
being damned beyond the practicability of repetition.
In this age of Boy Joneses, penny-a-liners, gallery
reporters of speeches and public meetings, and able
editors of daily Rapers cudgelling their brains fur a
subject for a leading article, a spade is sure to be
called a spade by somebody. Nothing can make a
man great except his being great. It is of no use
that the showman writes below his picture "this is
a lion," unless it be a lion. Bowing and scraping to
a fool or a knave will not make the world believe
either that he is wise or honest. It is no longer true
of the tribunal of the world, that
" Plate sin in gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks."
On the contrary, the inky pennon runs right through
it, cuirass and stuffed doublet, notwithstanding. A
man elected by the people is the people's property.
By the defeated faction he is hissed all through the
piece. His friends do not seek to magnify his per-
sonality beyond the necessities of his office, since no
man is a hero to his valet de charnbre. If the electors
have made a mistake, their star is stripped of his pro-
perties, and he is paid off on the Saturday night, as
one who has failed to draw houses. But an hereditary
monarch, who must be swallowed without chewing,
who must be taken like a wife, for better for worse,
who is not chosen by, but imposed upon a nation, and
who, on that very account, to be accepted at all,
must be fenced round and propped up with artificial
decorations, and simulated forms of greatness, must,
in this age of bulls'-eyes and gas, be able to hear
inspection at the foot-lights, and to do without paint,
else he will stand a poor chance of "bringing down
the house." Hired claqueurs and a pit full of orders
he may command, and these will help him won-
derfully if he have talent enough to make the
people who have paid at the doors join in the
" reception." But if he be but a " perrivirig-pated
fellow, that tears a passion to tatters," the reviewers will
at least be too many for him, and a tearing up of the
benches, with an ultimate gutting of the house, is but
the too probable catastrophe. The charlatan of the
Tuilleries would have been safe, could the theory of
his constitution have allowed of his being obscure.
Nay, it might have been permitted to him to have
wielded all the power he assumed, had he used it
wisely, and borne his blushing honours meekly. A
President may be hated, and the Republic may still
stand ; but when a Monarch becomes detested, revo-
lution must be the end. It is not the nature of the
Constitution, but the character of the Sovereign,
which has annihilated the empire of Austria, shaken
Naples, dethroned the Pope. The fate of Russia
hangs upon the personal conduct of the Autocrat ; and
the mad freaks of that crazy miscreant are doing
more to crush despotic power than all the propa-
gandists and carbonari in Europe. The concentric
solidity of our own monarchy has the same drawbacks.
If Ministers are embarrassed by a wrong- headed or a
depraved master, it is in vain to talk of the strength of
our institutions; and as our first Magistrate, like our
nobility, is the accident of an accident of hereditary de-
scent, our statesmen may live to seethe day when it will
b 3 proved to them that that element in our system
which they regard as giving it extraordinary strength,
may be actually the source of its most obvious weak-
ness. George 111. lost us our American colonies,
made Ireland rebel, and called into power the
" friends of the people." The Queen's trial, and the scan-
dalous life of George IV., carried us to the very verge
of revolution ; and had he been on the throne at the
time of the fall of Louis Philippe, it is nearly certain
that England, like France, would have become a Re-
public. It was a wise foresight which sluiced off the
public excitement of the days of July into the
struggle and final triumph of the Reform Bill. It
was a still more prophetic spirit which suggested the
repeal of the Corn-laws. But it is not too much to
admit that to the personal character of the Queen is
to be attributed our immunity from the convulsions
which have shaken continental Europe to the founda-
tion of its social fabric. Prominent in the public eye,
subjected to a rigidity of scrutiny from which private
persons are wholly exempt, it would be uneandid to
deny that the Queen has sustained that trying ordeal
with entraordinary success. Nay, it would be un-
generous and unjust not to admit that to her blame-
less private life, and her prudent public conduct,
society stands indebted for much of the
peace and good order we enjoy, and for
an example which has unquestionably been materially
instrumental in elevating the standard of ostensible
national morals, anl of social propriety and decorum.
In a critical and difficult position it may be fairly
Admitted that Prince Albert has acquitted himself
with great general judgment. It his honourable to
his understanding and character that his life is
without scandal—that amid many temptations to
frivolity and sybarite indulgence, he escapes criticism
without being futile—that without drawing on him-
self notoriety he has never sunk to the state of a
cypher—that he avoids intrigues without nihility, and
can be useful without being factious. Our agricul-
ture is indebted to him for many valuable experiments
—if he has not al ways been an entirely judicious, he
has been at least a uniformly zealous patron of art.
As a parent he executes the solemn trust of framing
the mind and character of the heir to the throne with
good sense, and in the conviction that the best sove-
reign is only to be fashioned out of an intelligent, a
sensible, and a good man; and as a citizen and a
subject, the country is indebted to him for the origi-
nation arid practical promotion of an object of the
highest importance and the greatest value. In the
centre of the world, in the metropolis of commerce, in
the earth's capital of practical science and useful art,
we are to enjoy the advantage of an institution
worthy of the age and the nation. In the royal park
is to be collected the practical result of the mind,
skill, invention, enterprise, and industry of every
race of mankind. The manifold works of God
also are to be there, that his creatures may see that in
wisdom he has made them all. It is wise in the
Queen's Consort to abstain from mingling in the
intrigues of party, or the troubled waters of politics.
Yet it would be both unmanly and impolitic, as the
father to the heir of the Crown, and as an exalted sub-
ject, that he should be what Napoleon called Abbe
Sieyes' Chief Consul, a mere pig to be fattened out of
the public trough. His high station gives him power,
his relation to the Sovereign affords him opportunities
of being useful to mankind ; and it must afford every
subject satisfaction to see that ho is in the line of his
duty, and that he has resolved to be no mere cumber-
some futility. He has originated and assisted in the
practical execution of a noble scheme of true patriotism
and genuine philanthropy. The productions of nature
from every quarter of the world, and of which God
alone is the all-wise and omnipotent manufacturer,
will be brought together in Hyde-park to instruct
and enlarge the mind of the nation, leading it
from nature up to nature's artificer, and teaching
all how much stranger truth and fact are than the
strangest fiction. The silk worms of Italy, of China,
of Spain, of Tennessee, of Australia, will here compete
for praise of their wondrous manufacture. The cotton-
trees of Egypt, of Natal, of America, of India, will
yield their tribute, and show how vegetation provides
for the elegance f human life. Thibet and Anda-
lusia, Cashmere and the Cape, Australia and York-
shire, will send the tribute of their sheep and goats to
show how Providence has supplied the wants of first
necessity, and the useful ornaments of human grace.
The Arctic circle will contribute evidence of how
the winter's cold may be fenced by the furs and other
peltries of Hudson's Bay, of Russia, of Iceland. The
ivory of Africa and Asia, the leather of Morocco—
the gold of India, of Muscovy and California—the
silver of Mexico and Cornwall—the iron of Wales,
Staffordshire, Scotland, and Sweden—the copper of
Australia, and America and England—coal from
Pennsylvania, Northumberland, New Zealand, and
Sarawak—the clays of Canton, Putney, and Truro—
the olive, the vine, the fig, corn, wine, and oil, spices,
the hop, herb, fruit, seed, root, fish, bird, beast, creep-
ing thing—wherever reason can perceive a use, or
skill a material, science a lesson, or enterprise a source
of production, there will these nature's ministers
to man's intelligence, civilization, or happiness, be
brought together, reduced to order, and classi-
fied, to teach us at once the need we have
of each other, the blessings we may all impart and
exchange, the wise order of creation which every
where calls into being varied gifts and diverse advan-
tages, which human intelligence may render as tri-
bute to the general sum of knowledge and felicity.
There, too, the mind, not of England alone, but of
man, will show how it has availed itself of these
wonderful treasures of nature. The raw material
will re •appear in thread, in cloth,lin the graceful vase,

Yesterday (Sunday) the new regulations, with re-
ference to the transit of letters through the metropo-
lis, for places within the range of the daily mails from
London, took place at the chief office in St. Martin's-
le-Grand. At 7 o'clock in the morning the duty
commenced, at which hour the majority of the bags
from the provincial post towns had arrived. The
orders of the superintending president being impera-
tive, the men, summoned to attend by virtue of their
" turn" under the old regulations, made their appear-
ance at the hour named ; but some who were expected
to assist in the duty were not present, so that the
supply of labour was scarcely equal to the demand for
it. So far as our reporter could glean, there were in
the office, at the time of the opening of the duty, the
superintending president, two of the vice presidents,
about 12 clerks, as many messengers, from 15 to 20
sorters, and other officers, making in all upwards of
40 persons, and, with constables in the hall, and sub-
ordinate officers, not less than 50 men were em-
ployed. The business proceeded in the ordinary way,
the opening of the bags occupying considerable
time, upwards of 600 having arrived from the
chief post towns, and many others from the sub-post-
offices. Several of the " deputies," however, not as
yet understanding the new arrangement, failed to
transmit the bags, so that instructions to them, in
consequence, will have to be furnished by the Post-
master-General, as the clerk who has the control of
the " clerk book" is by such a breach of orders placed
in the position of an officer who is obliged to report
the said fact to the superintending officer, that the
same may be forwarded to the secretary. This
difficulty, however, will be easily remedied in future.
As to the quantity of letters received, the number of
" inland letters" was comparatively light, though the
" throughout letters" from the continental parts of
Europe were in considerable numbers. In consequence
of the thinness of attendance, however, the officers
present had sortie considerable difficulty in getting
through the " duty " in time for the dispatch of the
several mail trains, the hour of ",making up" the bags
being given for ten A.M. In fact, it was not possible to
" get off " the whole of the letters, so that the others
were left until the dispatch which was to take place
in the evening was got ready. The bags being made
up, the office was closed until half past five o'clock.
Precisely at that time the officers were in attendance
for the second dispatch, and the work began shortly
before six o'clock. No newspapers whatever were
forwarded, even the latest editions from the pro-
vinces, published on the Saturday evenings, being
kept in the office until this day (Monday), when they
will be sent out, as usual, by the morning mails. No
collection of letters was made during the day from
any of the metropolitan receiving houses, nor were
there any letters dispatched which might even by ac-
cident have been put into the chiefoffice letter boxes
in the course of the day. The whole of the business
was very quietlyconducted, without any manifestation
of feeling of an unpleasant character, owing to the ex-
cellent arrangements made by Mr. Bokenham, the
superintending president, and his assistants, in the
control of the duty. Five omnibuses for the convey-
ance of the bags to the several railways, and a mail
cart for the mail bags, viii the old road, to Dover,
were in attendance, and the dispatch took place as the
clock at St. Paul's struck the hour of S.

Several spectators witnessed this first dispatch of
the mails from London on the evening of the Sabbath-
day.

Some mischievous person placed a 24-round ladder
across the road within the iron railings at the back of
the Post office in the way of the letter omnibuses. It
is fortunate, however, that it was broken by the passing
of an empty vehicle.

EXPOSITION OF THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.
—MEETING AT YARMOUTH.— The Mayor of this bo-
rough having received a communication from the Society
of Arts, announcing the intention of two gentlemen
visiting Yarmouth for the purpose of laying before its
inhabitants the scheme of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, for holding an exposition of the arts and manu-
factures of all nations, in 1851, his worship convened a
meeting of the most influential inhabitants on Friday
morning, in the Town-hall. The Mayor was voted to
the chair, and resolutions passed approving of the pro-
posed exposition, thanking his Royal Highnesa for the
interest ho has taken in promoting the arts and manu-
factures, and appointing a committee for Norwich. The
proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Mayor.
THE RECENT CONCEALMENT OF CHILD-BIRTH AT
HORBURY.—Miss Craven, the unfortunate young lady
whose recent conduct at Horbury has given rise to such
distressing suspicions respecting herself and her reputed
father, surrendered, under the advice of her solicitor,
before the Wakefield magistrates, on Friday week.
There were no examinations taken, and the proceedings
were of a mere formal character. Miss Craven, with
Mr. Ilighana, her solicitor, attended the court, when Mr.
Hepworth, the magistrate in attendance, intimated that
bail would be accepted for the appearance of the prisoner
at the next assizes at York. Sureties would be required,
herself in 2001. and one surety in 2001. The bail was
immediately entered into, and Miss Craven loft the court
leaning on her attorney's arm.--Leeds Mercury.
MEL kNC HOLY SUICIDE OF A MERCILI.NT.—Mr.
H. M. Waklevy held an inquest on Saturday, at the
Ash bey Castle Tavern, Clerkenwell, on view of the body
of Mr. James Miller, an American merchant, of No. 5,
Northampton-square. It appeared that on Thursday,
at one o'clock, the deceased called a lady named Bolton,
who resided in the house, into his room, and showing
her a bottle of prussic acid, said—" The instant I take
this I shall be a dead wan." Miss Bolton endeavoured
to prevent him, but he drink half a wine glassful of the
deadly liquid, and instantly expired. The deceased had
suffered very much from erysipelas. and dreaded a return
of the disease. Verdict—Suicide during temporary
insanity.

" 5. That the governors of the townlands being, by
virtue of their offie, guardians of the old Wantage
Grammar•schoo!, be requested to become members of
this committee, and that the committee be empowered to
add to their numbers."

The CHAIRMAN, in putting the question, eulogised
the character of King Alfred as a scholar, as well as
a monarch ; and after briefly adverting to his literary
works and the translations he had made, observed
that in no more appropriate way could they do honour
to the memory of Alfred than by promoting the
cause of education and knowledge.
Mr. TUFPER, in proposing the toast, " The Anglo-
Saxon race all over the world," observed that the feel-
ing which had dictated this movement was rapidly
spreading, not only in this country but in India and
America, and wherever Anglo-Saxons were to be
found. In Liverpool and London there would shortly
be meetings with the same views and objects.
The Rev. C. L. RICHMOND also addressed the com-
pany, assuring them of the fraternal sympathies of
his countrymen ; and he read letters from Mr. Abbot
Lawrence, the newly-arrived Minister of the United
States, and also from Colonel T. Aspinall, for thirty
years Consul in London from the United States, both
expressing their sympathy with the objects of the
jubilee, their desire to forward a design for promoting
unanimity between Anglo-Saxons all over the world,
and their regret at not being able to be present at the
festival.

A great many original songs were sung and verses
recited during the day.
When the time approached at which the last up-
train would leave }'aringdon•road station, those of
the guests who were bound for London departed, but
local residents appeared disposed to somewhat prolong
their festivities. And so ended the great gala day of
\Vantage.

STATE OP TRADE.—BIRMINGLIAM, SATURDAY.--
The trade of the town, as compared with corresponding
periods of previous years, is considered generally satis-
factory. The factors' orders are represented to be
extensive, and these, as a matter of course, lead to the
more general employment of the artisans of Birmingham
manufactures. The dispute which has for some time
existed between the men and the master pearl-button
makers is likely to be speedily adjusted. Many of the
men have returned to work at the old prices, and others
at slight reductions. Tbis important branch of trade at
the present moment is apparently very brisk.

TURKEY.--TOLERATION OF THE GOVERNMENT.—
A letter from Damascus informs us that a firman was
recently issued at Constantinople inviting the communi-
ties who do not profess Mohammedanism to cheese
their own members for the Divan (municipal council).
As a matter of course these elections were proceeded
with accordiegly, and the elected, with the exception of
one individual of the community of non-conforming
Greeks, received the confirmation of the Pacha, as well
as of the members of' the councils. Jews and Christians
thus participate in the civil privilege.—Jewish City onicle.
AN UNLUCKY NIG llT.—Lord and Lady Churchill
were placed in great peril a few nights since. The Noble
Lord and her Ladyship were returning from London to
Cornbury House, when, passing through Blenheim-park,
the postilion drove off the road, and was proceeding
down a steep declivity towards the large lake in the
park, when the carriage was stopped by running againsteatr.
a tree. But for this impediment it is probable tb
vollers would all have been plunged in the lake, the night
being dark, and the carriage
postilion was procured from Woodstock,
°lights. Another
and the rest of
the journey was safely accomplished; but on reac'aing
fire,
home his Lordship found his mansion on and his
neighbours and dependents busily engaged in endeavour-
ing to extinguish the filmes. The fire originated in the
library, owing to the carelessness of a workman engaged
on the premises. Fortunately, owing to the timely dis-
covery of the accident, very little damage occurred.
ADVERTISEM ENT.] —Rheumatism effectually cure,-1
by Holloway's Pills.—A sergeant of one of the regiments
doing garrison duty in Hobart-town, had been for years a
martyr to rheumatism. He was under the care of the
regimental surgeons, but deriving not the least benefit from
their treatment, in despair he had recourse to Holloway's
Pills, and as by a miracle this invaluable medicine has been the
sole means of perfectly curing him, and he now enjoys the best
of health. For obvious reasons, he names of the surgeons
and the regiment are withheld, but Major Walch, of Hobart-
town, will vouch fer the accuracy of this statement. Sold by
all Vendors of Medicines, and at Professor Holloway's Esta-
blishment, 244, Strand, London.

The preparations for giving the royal visitors a
suitable reception on landing are a!so in progress, and
approaching their completion.
The following description of the New Coal Ex-
change will prove interesting : —The Exchange,
which is situate at the corner of St. Mary-at-bill,
faces Billingsgate Market, and has been erected after
designs of Mr. J. Bunning, the City architect. The
meeting place of the coal-factors and principals con-
nected with the coal trade consists of a spacious area
or rotunda, with four galleries, connecting the dif-
ferent offices. The noble dome of the area rests on
eight piers of elegantly-designed framework, artisti-
cally emblazoned in colours. The style of the build-
ing approximates to the Italian, with such original
and unique additions as the novel mode of construct-
ing in iron could suggest to the inventive mind of a
modern artist. Although usefulness is the chief con-
dition in a building of this kind, yet the fine arts have
a proper place attributed to them. The lower range
of piney in the cupola presents many of the most
remarkable fossil remains of the coal plant, surrounded
with oval frames and brilliantly coloured Raffael.
esques of graceful design. The ground on which
they are painted is of a fine turquoise hue, and
accords well with the aerial opening above, giv-
ing a light and elegant character to the dome.
The upper row of pilasters illustrate the manner of
working the coal, and at the bottom of each are geolo-
gical representations of calamites found in the coal,
with the botanical names inscribed below. A great
number of' these extraordinary geological remains are
also portrayed on the 24 pilasters supporting the dome,
so that the decorations not only form a pleasing
feature with regard to colour end shape, but will
prove instructive and gratifying to the students of
geology. The second gallery downwards contains
also calamites, or fossil stems, with graceful Raffael-
esques and medallions, illustrating the costumes and
habits of the workmen in the coal mines. In the third
gallery downwards a similar style follows, with
paintings of the chief coal mines in the kingdom, in-
cluding the " Air Shaft at Wall's-end," the "Percy
Pit Main Colliery," the "Regent's Pit Colliery,"
" Wall's-end Colliery," &c. The other spaces of the
interior are filled up with trophies arranged with the
working tools of' the miners. The mode of working
and handling the " black diamond" from the pit to
the grate of royalty is portrayed in every stage.
Above the entrance are the City arms, emblazoned in
gold and colour, and the smaller dome, leading into
the rotunda, is filled up with scrollwork and paint-
ing, harmonizing with the other parts of the building.
The cost of the edifice will be about 40,0001.

THE ARCTIC EIPEDITION.—DUNDEE, OCT. 25.
—(From our Correspondent.) Mr. Penny, master of
the Advice (which arrived in the roadstead last night),
reported that he had no information regarding the ex-
pedition under the command of Sir John Franklin,
when up the country. The St. Andrew, Dring, of
Aberdeen, was through the ice fully a month before the
other whale ships; but the natives made no report to
Mr. Dring until the other vessels came through the ice.

THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— On Friday
night lust a serious and fatal accident occurred on this
line, near the Saxilby station, through the carelessness
and imprudence of the sufferers themselves. We under-
stand that about half-past six o'clock, it being dark,
three labourers employed on the line were returning
home from their work, walking on the railway, when
they perceived the down luggage train coming in front
of them. They immediately got upon the other line of
rails, and almost at the same instant were run into by
the up luggage train, which was behind them, and which
they had not perceived. One of the men was killed on
the spot, his entrails, &c., being torn completely out.
Another was dreadfully cut and bruised, and is so seri-
ously injured that he is not likely to recover; the third
man was fortunately thrown on one side by the engine,
and precipitated down a bank, receiving slight injury.
In the night of Thursday last a luggage-train from
Doncaster smashed through the gates at the Bardney
station, in consequence of their being closed, the keeper
not knowing that any train would pass during the night;
the shock was so violent as to throw the engine off the
line. Fortunately no further damage was done, and a
man was dispatched to Boston for assistance. An en-
gine and men wore quickly forwarded from the Boston
station, and the engine, being again placed upon the
line, proceeded on its journey. Oa the Saturday night
previous the gates at the Langrick station were both
broken to atoms by a luggage train, the gate-keeper,
who resides at a considerable distance from the gate,
having gone home for the night. In this instance,

PROJECTED WESTMINSTER BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS.
—A correspendent says—" It is proposed, both for the
sake of affording a better view of the new palace and
diverting the great traffic of Westminster-bridge from
the immediate vicinity of the Houses of
commencing on
otno
rebuild the bridge a little farther north,
the Surrey side at a spot immediately opposite the
wharfs in Cannon-row, having the Board of Control for
its southern boundry on the Middlesex shore. This
will cause the removal of the block of houses between
D. erby-street and Richmond-terrace, but at the same
time afford sufficient space for a row of houses looking
south, of a similar characer, and thus giving a handsome
approach to the bridge on the north side. It will then
be requisite to open Charles-street to the south of Great
George-street, having an outlet into St. James's Park,
and terminating with a drive leading by a curve to
the Birdcage-walk. By the clearance of the houses
in Charles-street an opportunity would be afforded of
appropriating that space to the purpose of the depot for
records, connected as it might then be with the State
Paper Office, and returning along the west aide of
King-street to the ground so many years lying waste
in D.)wning-street, and reserved for Government officer.
When these plans shall have been carried out it will
be found necessary to remove the block of houses in
Parliament-street north of Charles-street, and possibly
at some future time the entire mass towards the
Houses of Parliament. As so much of importance de-
pends on the selection of a proper site for the bridge, and
the matter has been referred to Sir John Burgoyne,
his report is looked for with no smell anxiety.—The
1 Builder.
