filly and boldly out, would form a beautiful object upon
the concave sinuosity of the river, extending thence to
Niat'kfriars-brid,e and Somerset-house, which should Lis
reclaimed from the unwbol, same and disgusting state ill
which it now is, by the propos( d embankment and ter-
race, which it were eaj to show is an interference with
the state of the river at that part which is much re-
quired, and thus that pestilential locality would be trans-
formed altogether into a beautiful and highly embellished
portion of the metropolis.
"From the Westminster end of Lambeth-bridge a
street should be opened to lead directly to Shaftesbury"
terrace, Eaton and Belgrave-squares. &c. ; another by
the river bank to Victoria Tower and Whitehall, pa'
ing between Westminster .&bbey and the Parliamental
Palace.
" Entering the Court end of the town by this meg'
nificent portal; St. Margaret's Church removed, in con-
formity with thd unanimous recommendation of
Select Committee ; the halls of courts located, as thel
ought to be, in the immediate vicinity of their several
inns; the western face of the quadrangle, b which,
according to the present design, it is intended
to enclose Westminster set back, to give
greater space between it and Henry VIPs Chapel:-
y
Parliament-street widened, by removing the block of
buildings between it and King-street ; Downing-street
finished ; and the Board of Trade completed, a majestic
comaiunication would he formed between the Regal and
Parliamentary Palaces ; and, if Whitehall-street may
not nor cannot be straightened throughout, those build-
ings should at least be thrown back which, on approach'
ing Trafalgar-square. obtrude more immediately on the
left to destroy its symmetry.
" The sever.,l circumstances and projects upon which
this eornpreht nsive proposition is based are nog
before the public. The instability of Westminster'
bridge, and the necessity of constructing another ;
the Bill for widening and enlarging flungerford Sur
pension-bridge, so as to adapt it to carriages ; the
project for opening a direct communication between
Lambeth and the lower part- of Westminster, Shaftecii
bury-terrace, Eaton and Belgrave-squares ; the
for making a street between Buckingham Palace an
'-'
the Houses of Parliament ; the motion for a Select Com-
mittee to take into consideration the removal of the halls
of court. These show that this is the time fur takifig
them into immediate and enlarged consideration, as
forming, altogether, one comprehensive-project."
We are by no means satisfied that these great change.
are altogether practicable ; but one thing is grit. dear
Westminster-bridge cannot (indeed, will not its9lo,re'
main in its present state ; and a subject of so much ter
portince ought to receive the most attentive considers;
tion, with the view, perhaps, step by step, to carrY
a complete plan by which the public may be materisibu,
benefited, and those inconvenient and unsightly
• structions which now exist be cff ctually removed.
