THE PAVILION AT BRIGHTON.
Since our last notice respecting the interior of the
Pavilion, the decorations have been pursued with all
alacrity, under the superintendence of Mr. Vick,
who, it will be rememeered, was the contractor of
this important part of the works ; and from a view of
the interior, yesterday, we have no hesitation in say-
ing that the palace will be restored in all its pristine
beauty, if not in all the gorgeousness of former times.
Mr. Vick is bound to complete his contract by the
21st December; and, judging from the progress al-
ready made, he will have no difficulty in presenting
to the town, by the prescribed period, the most elegant
suite of rooms in the kingdcEa. Scaffoldings are erected
in all the principal rooms; and the restoration of the
paintings and the ceiliegs, in all the beauty of former
ilmes, is a most gratifying spectacle. It was truly griev-
ous to witness the delapideticns which took place on
the removal of the furniture ; but we believe the
building will be so far renovated in a few weeks as
still to merit the name of a palace ; and that its
beauty and unique designs will remain to be admired
by thousands. The pilastres have been renovated by
a newly.discovered cement, called the Palen cement,
which produces a complete marble surface. A beau-
tifully executed flower has been placed in the centre
of the music-room, as near like the orginal as possible,
and few persons would know the difference. Few of
the inhabitants of Brighton had the opportunity of
seeing these rooms lighted when the palace was occu-
pied by Royalty ; but from the manner in which the
work is being carried on, and the arrangements for
furnishing, we have every reason to believe that they
will have almost as splendid an appearance as- in the
times of George IV., save and except in the value
f the furniture and its adjuncts. Nine chande-
liers are to be placed in the music• room, and an
equal proportion of elegant lights in the other rooms.
In short, the whole arrangements of the committee
are excellent, and we are only sorry, after they had
received a carte blanche for the expenditure of 4,5C01.,
that any commissioner should so soon question the
ziropriety of these proceedings by cavilling over the
application for a cheque for 6001. on account. The
committee cannot go beyond the 4 500/., and the sa-
tisfactory manner in which they have acted through-
out ought to engender confidence that they will not
-xpend the money in a lavish and improper manner.
'tie best answer, perhaps, to parties who doubt the
proper application of the money would be a personal
inspection of the works as they progress. We are of
pinion that they would then leave the building per-
a,etly satisfied that the money is well applied.—

THE WALKER TRIBUTE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—What is going on in the management of a
subscription to compensate Mr. G. A. Walker, in
some respects, for his most useful labours, at great per-
sonal expense, and those who have been wholly
neglected by Government in its distribution of situa-
!ions created by a new order of things? The "powers
that be" are not proverbial for gratitude to those who
bring about improvements ; I do not specially allude
to the present, Ministers, but to administrations in
general. Here is an opportunity, if the Ministry
-,hirk reward of labour, for the just thoughtfulness of
John Bull to take some concern upon himself. But
heave Mr. Walker has sacrificed a considerable
vortion of his life, during which time he was depen-
dent on his exertions as a medical man, and that he
has also spent a great deal of money. Surely, there-
fore, if the committee would give people an oppor-
tunity, in different parts of the metropolis, to express
heir con ecientious satisfaction at the abolition of inter-
mural burials—if they could not give " pounds" they
would like to give something to swell the amount of
a just compensation.—l mn, Sir, &c.

REPORTED LOSS OF THE SHIP
II A.B.PLE Y.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—We beg to annex copy of a letter received
this morning from Mr. Mallet, who proceeded to Ply-
mouth on the Ist inst., in order to glean, if possible,
any further intelligence of the fate of the above vessel.
We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
HALL BROTHERS.

Plymouth, Oat. 2, 1850.

My d2ar Slrs,—l find no one here believes the re-
port of the Mrpley's loss, and they are better able to
judge, as they know what weather she had for the
first three or fJur days. On making inquiries at one
of the houses this man Powell used to frequent, I
find he threatened to frighten his friends, and
make them believe he was drowned. As you have
written to the officer of the Coast Gaard for
the original letter, it is no use my going to the
Hope Cove, as I could gain no further news ; but, as I
am down here, I shall proceed by the Sir Francis
Drake to Falmouth this afternoon, and see if any of
the pilot b)ats spoke the Harpley ; if they did it
would most likely be on the 24th, and this would con-
tradict the letter at once.—Yours truly,
(Signed) T. B. MALLET.
