THE REGENT'S PA R K.—The projected
alterations in the eastern portion of the park are now ra
pidly advancing towards completion, and it is expected
that, in tl e course of a few months, the whole will he in
a sufficient state of forwar mars to admit of i.s being
thrown open to the public, under the necessiry restric-
tions, to prevent the admission of improper persons.
Extensive shrubberies have been harmed, which greatly
enhance the beauty of the diff-rent prospf ct-, while ger-
pen•iiie walks intersect them at various p •ints. The grand
carriage drive and ride, in a line with Portland-place,
and which will cross the outer circle of the park to the
Zoological Gardens are already f rived, and a considerable
portion of it gravelled, with avenues of trees on ball sides,
extending the whole I ngth of the way, in a similar man-
ner to those in the Mall in St. James's Paik. The archery
ground,, opposite to Ymk-terrace, is al.o proceeding with
all passible deslartch, and the ornament .1 piece of water
has been diverted from i s otieinal course to add to the
picturescrie if et of the scene.

day night, and complained of being ired. After she had
had tier supp-r he told her she must take her ittpar tire,
as he wanted to retire to bed. She raid a' e had a long
way to go ; upon which he observed, ita j Ike, " Nev. r
mind haw tar it •s, for the devil is sure to fetch you nark."
The deceased, being at a via I,nt temper, cot into a pas-
sion, and abused hint, upon which lie turned her out.
Tne witness, in reply to a juror, said lie hail known the

aimed ; anal he hail carried tan an illicit in ereaurse with
