ST. JAMES'S PARK.—During last week two
niore gates in St. James's Park have been opened for the
accommodation of the public, besides the gate opposite the
Horse Guards, one at the corner near Storey's Gate, and
the other near Buckingham-gate, so that persons going
from the Horse Guards, or Storey's-gate have a delight-
ful walk through the grounds to Pimlico and Chelsea.
Upwards of 800 of the shrubs which were planted last
year have died during the winter, but the remainder are
in a very thriving state, Workmen are now employed in
removing the dead shrubs, which are immediately to be
replaced by others to fill up the vacancy. Several wild
ducks were turned into the Park last summer, and the top
pinion of the wing cut to prevent them flying away.
These birds associate constantly with the swans, and are
become quite domesticated and tame. Yesterday, several
of their nests, containing eight or nine eggs, were disco-
vered by some of the workmen on the small island oppo-
site his Majesty's Palace. We understand it is the inten-
tion of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to have
benches erected in different parts of the Park, for the
convenience of the public, and also to throw a light bridge
over the piece of water in the Park, about the middle.

The process of Macadamizing proceeds very
fast in the parish of Marylebone; most of the streets and
squares having un•ergone, or being destined speedily to
undergo, the operation. The inhabitants of Gloucester-
place and Baker-street, however, preferring noise to dust,
are opposed to having their pavements disturbed.

The improvements which are in progress at
the west end of Brighton, will astonish those who have
not visited the town for a few months. Numerous villas
are in course of erection on what was lately a field betwee❑
Brunswick-square and the Temple, formerly the residence
of T. R. KEMP, Esq. These will each have a space of
ground allotted to them ; and the situation being remark-
a!ily pleasant, and commanding an extensive prospect, they
will form very desirable places of abode. The whole of
Brunsivick-square and Brunswick- terrace, with its per-
haps unrivalled esplanade, also present a range of noble
houses, which, we feel confident, cannot be equalled out
of the metropolis. Eastward of Brighton the " march of
improvement" his been scarcely less rapid. Kemp Town
has arisen from its long slumber of desolation ; and the ac •
cession of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, who has purchased
two houses for a residence there, will of course tend mate-
rially to increase its attraction. Portland-place, on this
side of Brighton, forms a noble pendant to Oriental-place
on the other; and, in short, we hesitate not to siy that no
place exists in the kingdom which can show so striking and
rapid an increase and improvement.—Brighton Gazette.

At the sitting of the Court at the Here-
ford Assizes, Mr. Justice PARK said that the conduct of
the attorneys of this county was extremely reprehensible.
His Lordship stated that they would not enter their causes
for trial till the last moment, becau,e they wished them
to stand low in the list, that they might be paid for four or
five days' attendance at the Assizes instead of one. One
attorney, indeed, had called ten times before he would en-
ter his cause, fearing that it might be tried en the first
day of the Assize. His Lordship intimated his intention
of mentioning this at the next meeting of the Twelve
Judges, with a view to some regulations being adopted
that would make it the interest of parties to enter their
causes in good time. We think that such things as this
ought to be attended to by the Law Commission, and if
that commission is ever to be of any service to the coun-
try in the reform of abuses, the Commissioners should
get matters of this kind set to right, and not leave it to
be done by the Judges, whose other duties are sufficiently
arduous.
