THE NEW COI/ENT-GARDEN THE...ITRE. From the London Gazette of Last Night.
anaemic

Almost anticipating the ceeistrucfion of the
Cranhinern-str, et extension tne, thi Duke c f Bed-
ford, through his egents, has been birsily occupied
by pulling down various lious,s belonging to his
Grace in, Tavistock-street and Exeter-street, for ,
the purpose of extending Burleigh-street from the
Strand into Covent garden-market. Already the
Board of Works have marked out the ground for
the sits of their new offices, adjacent to which the
new Vicarage for which the Duke of Bedford has
given the ground ; and Mr. Farnan, the oilman,
will rebuild on the opposite corn r. All that-re- '
mains to be removed are the premises belonging
to Mr. Harris, the builder, and the other proper-
ties which intervene between Tavistock street and
Covent-garden-market. Di verging from the
Strand, this line of street will take an oblique, or
rather a diagonal direction, on account of the dif-
ference of level between Exeter-street and the
intersecting thoroughfares, and from this point it
will proceed in a direct line with the "Humtnums,"
entering the market opposite the north-east angle
thereof, which hereafter is intended to form
the royal entrance to the new Covent-garden
Theatre. On Saturday last the new works
connected with the pulling down the late building
were brought to a clese, and the ensuing week will
witness the commencement of the works connected
with the rebuilding thereof. The ample site, as far
as the late theatre is concerned, has been cleared,
and the pulling down of the Piazza. Tavern, to
form an entrance to the market, will shortly be
commence-l: as the sale of wines and stock is an-
nounced to take place immediately. The intended
new budding will be brought out to the full ex-
tent of the frontage in Bow-street, and continuing
down Hart-street, will occupy the whole extended
area covering Princes-place, and adjoining Robins's
auction rooms, at which end the intended new
stage is proposed to be erected. On the
south side of the theatre, in continuation of the
Piazza in Covent-garden-market, north of -he quad-
rangle running into BOw-street, will be erected an
ornamental conservatory, in principle similar to
the Jardin del Plantes, Paris, which will be open
to the public during the day, although closed at
night, to be available as conferring additional ac-
cemmedation for visitors to the ne* opera house.
Her Majesty's entrance will be placed at the south
west angle of the building. The style of the in-
tended new building is Italian in general character,
reesembling the principal front of the Board of
Trade and the Treasury. Mr. Barry, jun., is the
architect, and Messrs. Lucas have undertaken the
contract for the execution of the works. It is in-
tended that the new Italian Opera House shall be
opened early in the ensuing season, although, tak-
ing into consideration the tardy
_proceedings
which have marked the demolition of the old
building, this desire on the part of the managers
could hardly have been anticipated, more especi-
ally when, under the influence of fine weather and
long days, every moment would have been consi-
dered too valuable to be misappropriated when not
devoted to practical purposes. However, about
eight months may be considered to intervene be-
tween the present time and the usual commence-
ment of the opera season. The building recently
destroyed was erected in eight months and eleven
days from its commencement ; therefore, adopting
this fact as a precedent,' aided by the exercise of
skill and the assistance in the supply of the neces-
sary appliances and accessories of building, com-
bined with the principles of modern construction,
we may fairly anticipate the completion of the in-
tended new edifice by the end of March or the be-
ginning of April, at the opening of the season 1858.
