THE MINSTER YARD.—The levelling of
the West end and part of the South side of the Cathedral,
so as to allow the restoration of the ,steps at the grand
entrance, and to show the basement of the fahric,is proceed-
ing with much rapidity. When completed, this will form
a very great improvement, as it will add considerably to the
effect produced by an external view of that magnificent pile.
The Minster will be protected from nuisance by a neat
iron palisadoing, which we understand has been ready for
placing round for some years past. A part of these pali-
sades were put down on Saturday last. One thing more
will be wanting to complete this :inprovernent—the re-
moval of the unsightly Will Office,
whirl now appears an
incongruous appendage to the finest building in Europe.—

things better than the person in question. In the efforts
which this journal has made to decry the battle fought not
merely for the salvation of Greece, but in the cause of
humanity, inconsistency is not more conspicuous than
faction. For, laughably enough, the same paper was, not
five months ago, the warmest Pilhellenist in England, and

a stop to the effusion of Christian blood by the barbarians,

PacitA and his Turkish and Egyptian myrmidons ! It has
now, however, discovered, that the' Turk, instead' of tieing
a semi-barbarian, is a mild and placable creatsre ; that the
'Greeks instead of being a brave and high-minded race, are
Cowardly and corrupt ; and that the war which has so long
raged in Greece, instead of being one of extermination, is
merely a civil war, waged by the Porte against its rebel-
lious subjects, and in which no third power can interfere
without violating the law of nations ! Positions like these
I are to outrageous, too extravagant to deceive the people of
England,- or to induce them, for a single moment, to with-
