THE NEW FINSBURY PARK.

According to the plan of the proposed park, as at
present drawn out and contemplated, the following is
a detail of its chief features. It will be found more
accurate than any statement that has yet appeared :
Tne main entrance will be at the top of St. Paul's•
terrace, where, after passing over the Docks Junction
Railway, it opens upon the southern portion of the
park. Here it is intended to form a long piece of
water or reservoir, upwards of twenty acres in extent,
with walks and drives on either side, extending along
the e/sst of Highbury, and occupying a large portion
of the space between it and the Green Lanes.
On passing Highbury Grange the park begins
to assume its circular form, inclining to the
right through a part of the grounds known
as Mr. Crawshav's Park, and, skirting the Lord-
ship-road to the southern portion of one of the
resiervoirs belonging to the New River Company, it
ag:sin reaches the Green Lanes near the Manor
H ause. It then proceeds along the Seven Sisters.-
road to Bleckstock-lane, leaving Highbury Vale
Righbury Park, and the Grove, as the western boun-
dary, the Docks Junction Railway forming the
boundary on the south ; thus constituting it an entire
park, the Sluice House being the only building to be
removed.

Approaches to the park will b 3 made from Hollo-
way, facing the end of Liverpool-road; from Stam-
ford-bill by the New Manor-road, north of Abney
Park Cemetery ; from Kingsland and Do Beauvoir
Town, through the road ❑ow being formed from
Newington-green; and, lastly, from Islington at the
railway bridge at the entrance of Highbury-
grove. Carriage drives through the park will
be made to facilitate the approach from
Stamford-hill to the West-end, and from
Stoke Newington to Highbury. The area of
the park will be between three and four hundred
acres, including about fifty acres of water ; and from
the well-wooded, undulating nature of the ground,
when completed and laid out, it may be expected to
surpass in general attraction and picturesque effect
any park near the metropolis. It should be stated
that the reservoir already alluded to will be within a
mile of the parish of St. Luke. Its formation will
greatly assist the New River Company in giving a
purer and more abundant supply of water than is
at present afforded ; and standing as it will one hun-
dred feet above the level of the Thames, it is capable of
being occasionally used in flushing the whole of the
sewers in the northern part of London. During the
last fortnight Mr. Barnett, the surveyor to the Woods
;and Forests, with a numerous staff, has been over the
ground, acting under the direction of Mr. Pennethorn,
and accompanied by Mr. Lloyd. It need scarcely be
said that the details which have been published re-
specting the statues and other artistic objects with
which it is proposed to adorn the park, are altogether
premature.—Observer.
