tW: LONDON BRIDGE APPROACHES,

AS NOW FINALLY SETTLED.

- The'plan for the New Bridge approaches—as
finally settled and approved of by Government, and
ittimediately to be protected with—was yesterday
deposited by the Deputy City Remembrancer, pur-
suant to the Act of Parliament just passed, with
the Town Clerk, at his office, Guildhall. They
differ materially from those hitherto given in various
Published representations.
The north and south ends of the Bridge will both
be connected with the main lines of approach by
"dies. On the north or City side, the principal
street, measuring the full width of the Bridge—and
which will consequently be of the noblest dimensions
wrill proceed, not direct to Cornhill, as at first
talked of, but in a slanting line towards the upper
Part of Gracechurch.street, a little above Leaden-
hall-market, which it leaves to the right ; the main
road thence continuing from the intersection of Corn-
hill and to Rishopsgate-street as before.
The cross-way of Thames-street will run under
the arch to be thrown over it next the Bridge, by
Which means the cross carriage there, so long occa-
sioning stoppages, and frequently dangerous, will be
avoided; two short semi-circular streets, the ons
commencing about the middle of St. Martin's-lane,
Sad the other near that of Love-lane, in Upper and
Lower Thames-streets, will give access from those
Parts to the great new street on each side Fish-
street-trill, at a little distance above the Monument.
The arch connecting the Bridge with the Surrey
side will face, as nearly as possible, the end of Too-
ley-street; whence are facilities for continuing a
new street along the back of Montagu-close, which
may be made at a small expence to open on the
blew Southwark Bridge-road, or be continued thence
even as far as to Great Surrey-street; thereby af-
fording scope for the finest improvements in those
Parts. The main bridge approach from Blackman-
street in the Borough is to be of the same noble
Width as that on the City side, and will occasion
the entire removal of all the houses on the west
aide of. the Borough not already pulled down, from
the old London Bridge-foot to the Town Hall ;
thus leaving a grand thoroughfare in a straight line
511 the way from the new Bridge to the west side
of St. Margaret's-hill and Blackman-street. By this
clearance of the west side of the Borough, all the in•
convenience from its extreme:narrowness will be corn-
Pletely done away with, as well as the mass of of
buildings and dirty courts at its back; that grand
object, St. Saviour's Church, will be fully thrown
open to the street, on which its east end will nearly
abut; and, should the surrounding space of the
churchyard, Montagu-close, &c., be formed—as
they are easily capable of—into a grand public
square, something in the style given in the plate in
Mr. Allen's tract on the Bridge Approaches from
Surrey, this entrance to the metropolis cannot fail
to have the fittest effect imaginable. Tooley-street,
it should be observed, is to have an access to the
great new thoroughfare or street by a branch street,
communicating with St. Thomas's-street, at the
side of St. Thomas's and front of Guy's Hospitals.
The advantages to be gained from these arrange.
totnts, and to which the height of the new bridge,
notwithstanding all the sarcasms levelled at it, was
essentially necessary, will be, in the first place, to
remove the long-felt inconvenience of the stoppage
et each end of the,Bridge, from the cross carriage of
Thames and ToOTry-streets, the traffic of which be-
lag immense, and interfering so immediately with
the main approaches at the Bridge.foot, is well
known to have been an evil of the first magnitude
The next, and perhaps a greater advantage, is the
superior safety it will afford to the navigation of the
Thames, by leaving room for vessels of large burden
to pass under it at the highest tides with perfect fa-
cility, and the want of which had for centuries been
the cause of continual accidents, not to mention the
constant nuisance of the way above both to horses
and passengers, from the hole in which the old bridge
lies, and which on the slightest rains was dirty in the
extreme; and, lastly, will be the avoiding of the
toilsome rise or dangerous descent of Fish-street-
hill, which could not be done by any mode more
generally useful and pleasing than by the one now
adopted, of raising the Bridge, building an arch on
this side across Thames-street, and carrying the
toad-way nearly level till it meets and unites with
the opposite hill. As regards ornament, the deve-
loping the fine old church of St. Saviour, with the
improvements suggested, will be well and admirably
disposed to render the south-west side of the Bridge
at once beautiful and interesting, at the same time
that the increased width and grandeur of the ap-
Proach from Blackman-street will also combine the
highest utility and commercial advantages. Unless,
indeed, the approaches had been in some sort suit-
able to the beauty of the Bridge itself, and spaces
given at least equal to those at the extremi-
ties of Blackfriars Bridge, the work must have
been incomplete, imperfect, and degraded.
" Every body," says a judicious Essay on
this Bridge, " laments- the circumscribed area
around St. Paul's Cathedral ; and all are
equally free to censure those persons who
could sanction the expenditure of a vast sum of
Money on a noble public building, and withhold a
little more to give it space, and make suitable ap.
Proaches. Niggardliness and liberality, grandeur
and meanness, can never assimilate." Adopting
this opinion, it were to be wished that an oblique
street had also been determined on, as was originally
the case, branching from that to be formed to Grace-
church-street, in a direction to the Bank, and which
if popular utilities and beauties shall be allowed to
take place of private, not to say, petty motives, may
Perhaps be, ere long, yet adopted. Such a second
grand street would certainly be a further improve-
ment, as it would divide the current of passengers,
and be productive of many other advantages.

ROYAL VISITOR.—His Royal Highness the
buke of GLOUCESTER is expected to pay us his annual
‘'isit on the 15th July. A house in the Crescent has been
taken for his reception.—Cheltenham Chronicle.
DEATH OF MR. TERRY, THE PER-
VORMER —On Tuesday afternoon this talented actor
breathed his last. The severe attack of paralysis with
Ithich he was so awfully visited, about a fortnight ago,
bud so completely debilitated his frame, that not the
'lightest hopes of his recovery were entertained by his me-
dical attendants. About half-past one o'clock last Tues-
day, his family were shocked on beholding him a victim
to the last and fatal attack : all that medical skill could
tehieve was done, but without effect—nature was cona-
Ptetely exhausted—and the unfortunate gentleman died
!Itnost without a struggle. We are happy to add, that a
tow minutes before his dissolution, he became so far sen-
uitile as to recognise and take leave of his family, who are
Plunged in the deepest affliction by this melancholy, but
nut unexpected event. We understand Mr. TERRY was
about 47 years of age. Mrs. TERRY (who is the daughter
tof the celebrated artist, ALEXANDER NAYSMITH) has long
!etn distinguished as one of the cleverest female landscape
Ofinters of the day.
REVIEW IN HYDE-PARK.—Yesterday morn-
ing, at half-past nine o'clock, the 2d battalion of the first
Nitnent of Grenadier Guards, under the command of
Colonel WOODFORD, marched from Portman-street bar-
Iteks to Hyde-park, in order to be reviewed by Colonel
TOWNSEND. The battalion having arrived in the Park
took up a position opposite Grosvenor.gate at twenty mi-
nutes past ten o'clock. Colonel TOWNSEND came upon
61°11nd, accompanied by a number of distinguished officers,
andwas received by the line with arms presented, the
band of the regiment playing a march front HANDEL.
~4e troops then marched past the reviewing officer, in
:ir"v and quick time, to the Duke of Yostic's March, and
"° a march from the 42d or old Highland Watch.
4fter the battalion had resumed its alignment, Colonel
th_llooroan proceeded to manceuvre the troops. After
~e troops bad gone [through a number of evolutions,
lonel TOWNSEND rode to the centre of the line, and
;Prowled to Colonel WOODFORD his satisfaction of the

and one o'clock, and the band continued for some time to

HAMPTON RACES.

The attendance on the Race Course yesterday was the

•
most numerous and fashionable we ever saw on it—the
port was plentiful and good, and the weather favourable.
The pleasure of the day was damped by an accident which
occurred in running the second heat of the Toy Stakes ;
in making the turn before straight running, Sally of the
Valley ran against a post and fell—Ariel was immediately
!behind, and fell over her ; both the jockies (Conolly and
G. Boast) were hurt seriously. It is an odd circumstance
that the same mecical gentleman, Mr. Maziere, who at-
tended them on this occasion, was on the spot when T.
Robinson fell at Epsom, and was the means of affording
instant and effectual assistance. The races did not ter-
minate till a late hour—the following are particulars :
The Toy Stakes of 5 sous. each, and 20 added. Heats,

Previous to leaving the course we made inquiries re-
specting poor Conolly, and find that he was much worse,
insomuch that great fears were entertained of his reco-
very. Boast was better.
It is said that his Majesty's The Colonel sprung a sinew
in running for the Ascot Cup, and it is thought he will
not be able to run again.
