EVGLTsit OAR.—There is a greater quantity. of English oak
now on sale than was ever known at any former period—the
highest price to be obtained for full-siie oak is 91. no 91. U. per
load, and which, from the numerous sales of oak now adver.
tined, will not, we fear, advance. Among many others, there
appears that no less than 1,972 fine eak trees, adapted fer
framing timber and beams, and planks, for the Navy, are
about to be felled on the estate of one gentlzman in Shrop.sllire.
The Lord BYRON'S Letter in defence of POPE has already
reached a THIRD Edition.

A curious scene took place at Rome during the Carnival, at
' a dinner given by Cardinal GONSALVI. The Austrian Am-
bassador gave an entertainment, to which were invited moat
of the respectable English, all of whom, almost to a man, re-
fused the invitation: A few days after GoNseevi, to make
• up the breach, gave a grand dinner, at which were present the
said Austrian Ambassador, and several English ; during the
, repast, an Englishman of distinction filled a bumper, arose,
and gave in a loud voice, success to the Neopolitans2 and the
cause of Liberty all over the world ; in which be was.joined by
most of the English present; the Ambassador was thunder-
struck, the wily Cardinal confounded, some of the guests alarm-
ed, but the greater number scarcely able to suppress their inward
satisfaction. The remainder of the repast was hurried over i's
silence and consternation by the Ambassedar, Cardinal, aal
other adherents, and the English guests aad host separated ra-
ther in dudgeon.—(COßK M. CifitoxiceE.)
We hear that it is proposed soon to remove the Monument.
This is a measure of pure justice previous to passing the Cathy.
lie Bill, as on its base stands recorded the fact, thlt the Pryists
burned the City of London, in the year 1666, an insinuatim
which the liberality of these days cannot suffer to remain ax-
tans.—The inscription round the Monument This Pillar
" was set up in perpetual remembrance of the most drteulfal
" burning of this PROTESTANT CITY' begun and carried on

The new Theatre in the Haymarket is rising ranidiy, and is
nearly in a state to receive its roof. As this building was pro-
fessedly intended to form a terminus to Cherles-street, we do
not exactly understand why it has been ingeniously placed so
as
not to form a terminus to that street it is about four feet out
of its proper place, and stands just sufficiently near it, -to make
every person who sees it lament its present situation. Con-
sidering the ground on every side was to be had, we are at a
loss to find an excuse for the creation of a public eye-bore so
glaring as this.
The improvements between Piccadilly and Oxford-street, are
nevi becoming very visible, and the new street appears in all its
splendour for a considerable extent. The quadrant at the end
of the firstdivision of Rege.nt-street, is one of the moat beauti-
ful things produced in any country ; we are decidedly a opi.
nion, however, that if the angle had not been acute,. at the
corner of Regent-street, and the colonade had swept round frees
Piccadilly,' the effect vould have been grander; as it is, we
lose all idea of a continuance of one street, and turn suddealy
and sharply into anodic:tee,
