IMPROVEMENTS OF LONDON.—Otte of the most
important plans for the improvement of our capital has just been
finally sanctioned.—A minute has passed the Treasury Board,
authorising the erection of a Terrace from Storey's Gate, up the
Bird Cage Walk, along the whole of the south ride of the Park,
to Pimlico. This will be in unison with the Terrace on the op-
posite side, from Spring Gardens westward ; and thus, with the
King's New Palace at one end, and the Norse Guards and
other architectural public buildings at the other, form St. James's
Park into one grand square. In the centre the canal is to be re-
duced, and diverted into picturesque windings, instead of its pre-
sent formal and uninteresting shape. The marshy ground is to
be drained and disposed into parterres, shrubberies, and other or-
vying in size and attractions with the Gar-
namental designs.—Thus we shall at last have a delightful pro-
menade in London,
dens of the Thuilleries or Luxembourg.—Literary Gazette.

NIGHT
much in West Lothian. On the night between the
19th and 20th December, Thomas
G-Th
field, in the parish of Dalmeny, was, under the provisions of the
statute 57th Geo. 111. cap. 90, seized by the Earl of Hopetoun's
gamekeepers, as being found armed with a gun, and shooting in
a plantation on the estate of Duddingeton, situated in the parish
of Abercorn ; and on the night between the 10th and 11th „ailed
very P oAcrilN
Ja-
nuary current, John Russell, residing at Westfield Wool Mill. in
the parish of Torphichen, was seized by the gamekeepers of Wm.
Doune Gillon, Esq. of Wallhouse, armed with a gun in like
manner, on the estate of Wallhouse. Warrants of commitment
were forthwith issued by the Justices of the Peace against both
delinquents, and relative precognitions were forwarded to the
Crown Counsel.— The Scotsman.

FATAL EFFECTS OF ADMINISTERING GIN AS
♦ Minter/mm.-0n Sunday last, Wra. Drabble, of Edgeley, hav-
ing three of his children much afflicted with the worms, gave to
each of them, as medicine, nearly half a noggin of gin, and put
them to bed. The two younger fell asleep and remained so till
12 o'clock at noon, when, on a person going into the room to see
how they were, found them in dreadful convulsions, and notwith-
standing medical aid was instantly procured, they remained in that
state until death released them from their sufferings ; the elder
aged eight years, died on Sunday evening, and the younger, aged
six years, on Monday morning. The particulars of this melan-.
choly affair having been communicated to the Coroner, he consi-
dered an inquest to he unnecessary, as no blame could be attached
to the afflicted part nts. The medicine administered to the eldest
girl had the desired ell-cwt.—Stockport Advertiser.
FEAT EXTRAORDINARY.—A farmer, named Ro-
land of Stoke Kiln, near Taunton, On Wednesday last, at an inn
in that town, undertook for a wager of five shillings to eat an or-
dinary sized glass rummer. This extraordinary task he actually
performed in about 20 minutes, to the astonishment of those pre-
sent. In the course of this performance, the difficulties of the
feat were sufficiently attested by the copious effusion of blood which
flowed from his mouth. The stem of the glass occasioned some
delay in the completion of this singular experiment on the dental
powers of the animal system. The.performer resolutely offered to
go through a similar process by devouring a quart jug, of earth-
enware, which was then before him ! but the landlord of the inn,
becoming reasonably alarmed for all his crockery, secured it from
the threatened destruction.—Roland is still living, and states that
the only effects he had suffered from his undertaking are those
which he might have apprehended from an excessive dose of Epsom
salts.—Bath Herald._

DEATII OF MR. AULD, THE HARLEQUIN.-
This hero in pantomime has suddenly closed his earthly career,
under circumstances must distressing to his family and friends,
and which has excited great sympathy, and cast a gloom, even in
some degree of suspension, over the theatrical performances in
this city. By some unfortunate accident, about half-past four
o'clock on Monday afternoon, Mr. Auld was precipitated from the
top to the bottom of the stone steps (fourteen in number) leading
from the street to the pit and the interior of the Theatre. Imme-
diately on the accident being discovered, medical assistance was
sent for. Messrs. Tucker, De la Garde, and Herries promptly
attended ; but the injury he had received ants beyond the reach of
all human skill. Poor Auld lingered till Tuesday afternoon, when
life became extinct at two o'clock.—Exeter Flying Post.

On the 27th inst., the lady of George Owen, Esq., of the Se-
cretary's Office, East India House, of a son.

MARRIED.
On the 23d inst., at Chichester, Malcolm Laing, Esq., eldest
son of James Laing, Esq., of Jamaica, to Laura, third daughter
of the late Thomas Strickland, Esq., of Kendal.
