METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS, KENSINGTONe'
Her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests have
decided upon the plans to be carried into effect for the for'
mation of a new avenue, to be called the Queen's-road, 0;
tending the whole length between the Uxbridge-road at
the High-street, Kensington. Various plans have been sub"
mitted to the Commissioners, and those of Mr. Owen Jones'
Messrs. Wyatt and Brandon, and Mr. Kendall, have' been
• accepted, and operations have been already commenced. 1,11
the plans selected, which are all in the pure Italian str_e,
are designs for mansions which are to be built of a grandet '
seldom seen in a private thoroughfare. Some of the boor
will contain upwards of forty rooms, and in most are spa'
ments, en suite, upwards of one hundred and fifty feet V'
length. The greater portion of these magnificent struotarsa
ale secured by aristocratic and wealthy families ; and Or:
Blashfield, a lessee under the Crown, has undertaken to 110-
them ready during the forthcoming summer. The villas 011
each side will command a view of Kensington.-gardens'
The road will be upwards of a mile in length, and tomtit,'
feet wide, except at the south side—thus connecting both the
great great western roads. It is the intention of her Majesty a
Commissioners to erect two gates equal to any in London--
one at each end, and double sets of lodges, to be inhabited bY
liveried gatekeepers who will be assisted by •supernumerefie*
inkeeping up an efficient police.
EXPEDITIOUS TRAVELLING.—DOVER, MAT
This morning Carlotta Grisi, the celebrated danseuse, whoa°
farewell benefit came off last night at the Italian Opera'
London, arrived here by special train by the South-Eastern
Railway, on her way to Paris, where she is engaged to per"
form this evening at the Academie Royale de Musique. Car;
lotta Grisi did not leave London till half-past two a.3l.,„eir
in consequence of being detained between Reigate and God"
stone, by a luggage train being on the line, did not tele*"
Dover till a quarter past five. It was, therefore, getting t°.
wards six o'clock before she embarked on board the Magician
steamer, Commander King, which lay in the Roads in 'watt'ing, specially to transport her to Boulogne. The Magit.`"",
(which, by the way, returned to Dover by twelve o'clock
noon) occupied two hours on the passage across. Mlle. 011'1,
left Boulogne about eight o'clock, and, considering that
road thence to Paris must be posted, it will be a feat worthf,,
of record, provided she reaches the French capital safe and
well, and is enabled to acquit herself in the dance with
_l5.
same éclat she did in London last night. The task 31-I!a'
Grisi has set herself is, we believe, unparalleled in the guar
of travelling in this direction, and clearly demonstrates tu:
superiority of the route, via Dover, between the French 0
English capitals.
Laucowes-imr.—On Thursday the.undermention4
gentlemen were, after the usual preliminary oaths bad bee°
administered to them before several Benchers of this Hen°°l-
able Society, duly called to the degree of barrister-at-Ulf .:

Frederick Bunny, Mr. Francis Cornish Newman, Mr. Tbr

THE EARL OF ABERDEEN.—In January At O-
man named Heath, a shoemaker, residing at Chalvey, nu"
Slough, was unfortunately, but through his own carelessre:4s4
knocked down and run over by the carriage of • the F,arl u;
Aberdeen, as his Lordship was proceeding from. ..Mudge;
Castle to the railway-station at Slough, causing a canyounu
fracture of his leg just above the ankle. Lordship
dered the best medical aid to be administered to him at !I.
time, and every necessary assistance t.O 'be rendered up to
periodof his recovery. Mr. Clark, of Eton, the surgeon ll'
attended him during his illness, in conjunction with 11-2.;
Pearl, of Windsor, has just received a check for 201. from
Earl of Aberdeen, to be given to the man Heath, with 01:
Lordship's best wishes for his perfect recovery. The wh°,;
of the expenses which were incurred during Heath's illfl
were also defrayed by his Lordship.
MR. GRooM's TULIP SHOW.—We were; yesterdl
favoured with a private view of Mr. Groom's annual 0,'.;;
bition of tulips, at his grounds, Clapham-rise, The '5
presented a truly beautiful sight, garnished, as it was, vi,m
upwards of two hundred varieties of this gaudy flower.
,Yea
no former occasion have either the flowers or plants prese!..l t
so vigorous and healthy an appearance, owing, in
measure, to the propitious character of the season, but prio
cipally to the improvements which are annually being 113,41
hi the art of bringing them to perfection. During the e°l6-0(
of the morning the show was visited by a large number
persons of rank and distinction. The following are aine.-0/
the principal varieties presented this season :—Countega
Blessington, Ambassadeur d'Holland, Marshal Soult, Aglalof
Duke of Buccleueh, Catafalque, Lac, Malibran, Duke 10,
Devonshire, Duke of Norfolk, Lady Crewe, Michael Ange a,
Victoria Regina. Nourri Effendi, Catalani, Lawrence's FrisL ,
Everard, and Rosa Blanca. The show will be open for oim
bition to the public this day.
In Derbyshire several colliers are doing but litti,jfe
work, merely from hand to mouth ; however an advane!ou,
2s. per ton is paid by the public. Things upon the leutes'
are gradually resuming their former position. The mu rd
are determined not to employ any unionists, and in set
cases the men have renounced all connection with the unw
CO° for instance, 60 men heretofore employed at clay
have left the union and gone to work.
