such queer quadrupeds ; but, after a few days.. finclheine'
no molestation from the new-cmiere, all
came ftiands, and fed quite comfortably tog.et"'
but the amusing part of it was my shooting „-;
—commander-in-chief of the park—who became
feeely wild and electrified, when he first saw them, re,
loping, snorting, kicking -up his heel:. The al,ord,
however, never fled from him, but advanced. At letighe
he became frightened at them, probably supposing leo
blacken-10(ms to he "no cannie." llowever, in the roar'
of eight or ten day-e nothing but harmony pre"li 01
amongst all parties. The alpacas arrived the latter one
of August. When the weather became cold, and, for
nights were getting I,:ng, a wooden shed was erected
them in the park. At. first they hardly ever went let& 0
but when winter cowl:ewe-0, I made the keeper (win
they follow like a dog) rut. up a small rack in their she
in which was placed some rye-erase bay. The weath`e,
Was fine, and they ate v: ry little of it ; but by-find-b4O
as winter advanced. they relished it better. I tot
ordered them to get a few yellow turnips, which at g
P "eje
they seemed to like, hut, tiring of them, I desired a
corn to be given. which they partook of pretty freeo.;
but one day the keeper told MP they would not eat there
corn, especially when the day was good. Having 071,
excellent beans, I ordered the man to try them with
few. No sooner did the alpacas hear the beans rat'li7e
in the dish than they showed an eager desire to bile.o
them, and, during several months, preferred theta'
every other sort of grain ; indeed, so much so, that al-t
some oats being intermixed with the beans, the hale
were picked out and the former neglected.
" What is extremelc eatisfictory is the hardinesse,.o',
these animals compared to our sheep, and their ind
fatigable perseverance in searching for food, when s.bee',
would to a certainty starve. I mly state that this "wain
ter, 1843-4, has proved a most severe one. The park
which the alpacas and sheep were confined, was cove'e
for nearly three weeks with snow ; and during that tiut:,,
there was not a vestige of herbage to be seen..ieith

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.— During L..- la

street leading from Oxford-street to Flolborn, as above r!,,
,u of the south side has been excavated for the cellars of t",
new houses to be erected there. In the course of a few dal,
the cellars will be built from Oxford- street to Charlotte,
street, Bloomsbury, when there will he soon after dirl;
thoroughfare in that locality. In Holborn, on the north 'fibs
'of the new street, several cellars have been laid down, andbeeo
street widened to the intended width, as they have
covered with gravel. There are now but a few housEs tOpA
disposed of, to be taken down for the new street. in Sot'
days the houses in Long Acre, and at the end of flnefl,d-
-street, to form the new street from Waterloo-bridge to Dg;be
street, St Giles's, belonging to the Mercers' Company, v' ad
sold, which will leave only two or three houses to be rep 0.
at that spot. It is expected that in a short time the 'Zeit.
missioners for the Metropolitan Improvements will issue `-
plans for some of the new buildings.
