IMPROVEMENTS AT lIOLYROOD
PALACE.

For about six weeks past important alterations and
improvements have been in progress on the grounds
surrounding Holyrood House, and, to some extent,
within the Palace itself, in order to bring both mon- into
oonforaiity with modern ideas of the requirements of an
occasional royal residence. It is understood that her Ma-
jesty's principal objection to making any lengthened so-
journ at adyrood arose from the absence of all means
of privacy within the grounds attached to the Palace,
and the annoyance she had to endure from being stared
at, as soon as she appeared in the garden, by every pas•
senger, as well as by the crowds woo assembled round
the railings and in the pack for the express purpose of
watching her motions.

The principal improvement will consist in restoring to
the private precincts of the Palace a large portion
of the demesne anciently pertaining to it. The
whole of the grounds on the north side, known
as Queen Mary's Garden, and the corresponding space
to the south, occupied by St. Ann's-yarn, Miss Mil-
ler's garden, and adjoining houses, recently acquired
by Government, are in the caur,,e of bein; enclosed,
and laid out as pleasure-grounds. • On the northern
side, the massive and elegant iron railing, which
constituted the former circumscribed boundary,
runs from the corner of Queen Mary's wing to the
gate erected towards the North Back of Cenongate
at the visit of Geolge IV. to this city in 1822.
From this point, a wall eight feet high is carried
round by Croft-an-Righ, and passes behind the Palace
twenty-five feet to the east of the former boundary,
running down nearly to the new criage-way in
i
the Park, and then westward ui,til t is met at the
south-.vest corner of the enclosure by the other division
of the ornamental railing, prooee.flieg from the more
modern wing of .the palace. Within this enclosure
the ground has been lowered about four feet, so
that persons walking threugh the gardens will be in-
visible to those outside from all pinta, except, of course,
the bill side at a considerable distance, and even from it
the vies will be intercepted by trees and a shrubbery.
Twenty-five feet from the wall to the inside, however,
a grassy terrace rises to within three feet of the top,
and will be crowned by a gravelled or turf covered
walk twelve feet broad, running round the whole cir-
cumference of the wall. By this contrivance, the Royal
residents may at pleasure command a view of the park
and city from almost every point, or may ramble
about the grounds wildly secluded from observation.
A serpentine carriage way, entering from the Regent-
road by George IV.'e Gate will also traverse the grounds,
passing behind the Abbey and Palace, and, after several
windings, will have its exit by another gate at the south,
nearly opposite the commencement of she Radical-road,
and leading directly to the Queen's Drive.
Sir Benjamin Hall is expected in Edinburgh on Thurs-
day (the day before ' her Majesty's arrival) to inspect
the works, and giveinstructions for further improvements;
and various details, as to the disposal of trees, the
laying out of the grounds, des., are left until
her Msjesty, after a personal inspection, shall make
known her wishes respecting them.

LADVERTISEMaNT.]—The great injury inflicted on many in
valids by drugs increases the interest the public take in Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabics Food, which cures without medicine
indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous,
bilious, and liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and
debility. We quote a few out of many thousand cases of
cures by this delicious food :—From the Dowager Countess of
Castlestuart. Cure 52,612. Rosstreyor, County of Down, Ire-

stuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering humanity, to
state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food has
cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indigestion, bile,
great nervousness and irritability of many years' standing.
This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be
considered a real blessing. Inquiries will bo cheerfully
