AIALVERN, SEPT 12.—This place has been'much more re-
sorted to this sawn than any former year. The walks and rides
which are very fine, have been principally made at the private
expence of the Countess of If arcourt, Lady Lyttleten, and Gen.
Buchan. The liberality of Mr; Edward Foley, the Lord of the
Manor, is exhibited in similar acts, as well as erecting build.
inks for the improvement of the place; and 'for the accomino.
dation of the company resorting, a new and elegant library has
also been finished, Ur. Foley has olio built very handsome hot
and cold baths Adjoining to, which in every respect correspond
with, the library.

Great satisfaction has been created in this
county in consequence of the excellent family of
Uamilton having resolved to make the palace
their permanent residence. A considerable ad-
dition to the ancient building is about to be
made under the direction of INir.liumilton, archi-
tect. When finished, the palace will, both in point
of beauty and convenience, be worthy of its tine
site. We hear that a number of the principal
inhabitants of Hamilton, and tenantry on the
estate, are to have a procession on the occasion of
the foundation stone being laid of the new build-
ing. Already a great number of work-people
are employed, and many other benefits are
accruing to the town from the residence of
the public-spirited family.--The Duke, among
other improvements ,in his pleasure grounds,
is making a fine romantic walk along the
banks of the Avon, from the bridge opposite
to Barncleuth walk, which, it Is said, is to
extend for three miles through the wood, on the
margin of the water. it will pass Cadzow Castle
and the venerable oaks.----(Glasgors Chrontole.)

Since the court of Session rose in July last,
the Outer Parliament House has received a farther embellish.
meet. The plain glass has beets wholly taken out of the great
south wintlow,and replaced by new and beautifully stained glass,
in that rich variety aims of which the discoveries of modern che-
mistry have rendered this highly ornamental art still more suscep.
tible than in ancient times. In the centredivision of the window
is a female figure, representing Justice standing on the base of a
trigon„ balanced on a plane at its apex, and ha (ling her balance
beam in equipoise, with clouding in the back 'ground. it is
taken from a design by Sir Joshua Reynolds, executed under his
direction, in the west window of New College Cluel)el, Oxford,
and is said to be a correct fae.simile. The whole has been
finished by Mr. W. H. Bnowx, Waterloo Place, and it is cre-
ditable to the taste of the city, that it possesses within itself
artists competent to the execution of such an undertaking.—
