THE SAVOY PALAU:.

'rh
e last vestiges of that once magnificent and
extensive pile of bdilings, the joyous abode and
the prison of Royalty, and the scet.e %tme rainy
transactions connected with the history of Eng-
land had their rise, progress,
.and consummation,
are now fast approaching that awful termination

so finely described by our immortal Bard.
The demolition nosy going forward, and which
produced the melancholy catastrophe related in
yesterday's Paper, by the falling of the wall of
one of its towels that h.ad been too carele.ssly

inicterminett, involving; three victims in its rub-

bish, 11.1 s lail•o'peti ruins chat may be obse: vest
with great interest by the.antiquariais as well a;
the curious, observer, before closing the view

for ever, by consigning to oblivion in i very ~hurt
period every remnant of this truly • vener4We

€4ifice.

The Church, with its beautiful ceiliog and re-
ruarkable 1110111/111elltS, is at present exempted ft ont
the general destruction of the Palace, thought
how long the unsparing hand of improvement
will permit its sacred and mouldeting walls to
retain its antique appearance is hard to say.
This devoted Palace has suffered such frequent
damage and curtadment, that it is difficult to de-
termine which have conduced most to its progres-
sives destructi-,M---time'rivages of 'fire, the tory of
popular tumult, or the hand of improvement : ulte
singular transition effected by the latter, is that of
the ancient huge Bans:petting Hall into a cabaret
or place of entertainment for casual visitors. It
is a fact, that On the very scite of that splendid
Hall are ert cted the Illy arches of Waft' 100 Bridge,
one of the largest and most lofty of which is de-
signated by nie title of the " Blue Anchor," up
the lofty walls of which, the smoke ascends, and
rolling along the !trot., finds an egress through „a
large aperture in front, strongly reminding the
spectator of the ancient structure, where, before
the introduction of chlorides, the smoke also Imind
its egress as in this gloomy though not unsocial
cave; n.

After the Coroner's Inquest has terminated, it
is to be hoped that the sentinels will be re moved
from the different avenues, so that the public miy
view these very interesting ruins before they are
closed for ever.

EDINBURGH .—The imj►rovcrnent of our City,
we observe, is not confined to the formatio❑ of
new and elegant streets within its precincts, the
same liiste is displayed in laying out the building-
ground in the viciniiy. A new place, to be called
S.xe Cobourg More, has just been begun on Mr.
Rose's property of Dean Bank, the plan of which

Futa.—About t_en o'clock, yesterday forenoon,
a fire brcke out in the house of Mr. It. Itgssi, im-
porter „(fmeign wines, &e. 'flireadneedle-street,
which originated is-a. wine cellar, supposed ftotn
the spark of a candle, which the porter had fast_
coed agaiost the wall, falling among some dry
straw, intended for packing. bottles. The
threatened destruction to the entire premises, as
ali the ground floor of the house and furniture,
with the I tutor in the cellar, were totally destroyed
before the arrival of the engines ; wh cb, howe-
ver, being plentifully supplied with water, and
well milked, arrested the progress of the flames,
but not before the fire communicated to the fiat
floor, which was much damaged.

Boxeas —So confident were all the best
jodges of Cooper beating Hickman, that they
would not take any odds, and oven bets
were laid, that Cabbage and Cooper both woo,
and six and seven to one that those who did
win, would not. Cooper was so satisfied himself,
that he considered the match, a mere turn-up,
a little exercise, not dreaming of a scratchect
face even. Betting was 6 to 4 against Cooper
beating Gas and Shelton in June. sJany consider
that Hickman can beat any man in England ;
no tniat;er Si7.c o;• -%vci4l4t. His ititrepi•
dit y excited the greatest a,tor:io•,rtent,
although Cooper made such fine flush it.i."l..intle4

The novelty of a floating chapel having subsided,
tie people from the shore do not appear on board
as tormerly but the mintber of sailors, for whom
t chapel waft intended, increases to replace
t eta. On the last Sunday morning the congre-
ga ion consisted. of between five and six hundred
bailots, and between two and three hundred in the
at!ernouo. -Such a scene is'as admirable as it is
novel, and while there continues to be such at-
tend,ince on the pablie service of God, there can-
n bat be good ground to expect important and
hVW ficial consequences to seamen, and to society
g•oerally.

QUEBEC, JAN.24.—HiS Excellency Sir Pere
„griue Maithnd, by Proclamation of the 12th inst.
has prorogued the li,gidattoe of Upper Canada
from the ;Sat_ January to the 26th Feitruaty. It
is net, however, stated that it is then to meet for
the dispatch of business.
Views of the United Stales to the Nofth-Trest.
Early in the present Session of Congress a call
upon the Executive was made by the Moose of
Representatives, (or a statement of the expeodi.
tore vitich had been incurretl by the i\lilitary ex-
pedition the Alissoori.
On the 31 inst. the Cntrimittee on Military
affairs laid before the ltcttuee a vatiety of papers,
which had been in coosequence obtained from the
different Departments.
By these papers, extracts of which ate inserted
below, it appears that the eNpenditute has been
si y-foor thoittAnd too hundred and twenty-SIX
dollars more than the troops would have cost in
the stations from which they were removed ; the•
tvhole force of the Missonri and Mississippi ex-
peditions is given, and the objects in view fully
developed.
Theae appear to he the extension of the in-
fluence of the United . States over the • North-
'western Indians, anti the destruction of the Ca-
Hada. and Hudson Bay Fur Trades.
The contemplated means are the establishment
of strong, Military posts on the bead waters of
the Mississippi and the<Mi•soori, distributing pre-
sents to the Indians, encouraging; and protecting
American trading companies and, with a view
of eluting. off the commonication in case of war
bekrteen Indians and Canada, the election of
a strung fort at the Saidte Sainte Marie, in a po-
sition to cOmmand• the water communication be-
tween Lake Huron and Lake Superior.
No one has a right to complain that others
make a legitimate use of any advantages which
they possess. The operations of the United States
are confined within their own boundaries. We
may, however, be permitted to regret these ad-
vantages, and that corresponding exertions are
not always made on our side to prevent any in-
jurious consequences which might be obviated.
The United States inise been singularly fcrtu-
rate in tiggrandising themselves at the expellee if
Canada. A few persecuted enthusiasts and con--
vier 6 were thrown on the comparatively hart en
shores of the Attantic, long ,after the first settle-
ments were made its tkis country; they have risen
to a nation of ten million of souls, two millioes
end a half of which inhabit the rich and fertile
countries on the Lakes, the Oltio, the Mississippi,
and the Missonti, all of which. were explored, and
long po,sessed by the Governments of Canada
Having secured these row tries, they are note
&avowing to shut is out trout all communication
beyond Lake Moron.
The British Hudson Bay and North West Com-
panies are quarrelling about the Fur Trade. The
Americans, as is usually the case on such ocea-
sions,'are going to take it for themselves, and,
no doubt, terminate their quarrels, and
relieve this province from a branch 01 trade, form-
ing-one of its chief exports, which many of us
have long believed to be disadvantageous. The
United States perhaps have not yet made the dis-
covery that a legitimate employment of capital,
which proves advantageous to individuals, may
be disadvaotageous to the community.

" Summary of the movements which will be made
by the troops composing the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi Expeditions, in the course of the ensil-
ing season, and the manlier in which it is pro-
posed to employ them.
It is proposed to move the rifle regiment from
the Council Bluffs to the Mandan villages and to
erect barracks there properly defended, for five
hundred men.
To remove some of the principal obstructions
to the navigation of -the Missouri river, such as
planters; sawyers and rafts ; this work may be ac-
complished by the troops on the Missouri, in the
course of three winters.
To open a road from Charlton, in the Missouri
Territory, to the Council Bluffs, and thence to the
Mandan villages.
To open a road from the Council Bluffs to the
post ast the mouth at Saint Yeter's, on the'Mis-
sissippi.
To improve the navigation on the Ouisconsin
and Fox rivers, and connect them by a canal, or
good road, in order to facilitate the communica-
tion between Fort Howard, at Green Bay, and
Praire du Chien, on the Mississippi; those rivers
are navigable for batteaux, within one mile of
each other."
