PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS AT DOW.—WC un-
derstand that the Earl of Guilford, the nobler6prietor of the
Frith Farm, neat the Castle, is about to apply to Parliament
for a private Act to enable him to let a portion of the valley
on lease for building purposes ; and that plans for the erec-
tion of splendid terraces, said to be equal in design and mag-
nitude to any in the kingdom, have been prepared, as also
for detached villas ; altogether, nearly 1,500 residences are
contemplated to be formed on this delightful spot. It is al o,
we believe, part of the plan to make another outlet from the
town, into the Deal road, pass the Castle Jetty, by which the
Castle-hill may be avoided, and the distance to Deal consider-
ably lessened. - We hope to see the plans of the Noble Earl
carried out, as we feel convinced it will prove a good specu-
lation.—Dover Telegraph.
