TOWN HALL.

The daughter of a respectable tradesman was brought from the
Borough Compter, at the instance of her father, who begged the
Magistrate to commit ber until he could get her into the Peniten.
tiary, she having thrice eloped from him at the Instigation of a ccm.
mon procuress, and abandoned herself to vice. The Magigrate
said, the best course would be to take her home once more, aid
try by mild means to stop her career ; and that the woman who
had seduced her from her borne, and who he understood bad fled,
should, on being found, be punished. The advice was followed, and
the-girk only IT, accompanied her father, with evident reluctance.

IMPROVEMEN:IS IVEST or TIM METROPOLIS.

7he New Lodges, for the Turnpike Gates, on the
great Western road, are not huilt of the same durable
materials as the old ones, at Hyde Park Corner, nor is
their elevation so considerable. The first are of a coarse
brick, plaistered over with Parker's cement; the latter
are Portland stone. The interior of the former excels,
being entirely of oak, and the doors and sash frames
are of the same material, with windows of plate'glass.
7he New Church, for Kensington.—There are three
sites named. First, Knightsbridge Green, and to effect
this would be easy. Second, the South side of Bromp-
ton-square, and directly in the rear of the gardens of
Kingston House. Third, the Nursery Ground, app.
site Brompten Park.
Men were at work on Saturday, preparing the ground for doe
turning of the road in Hyde Park, next the Piccadilly Gate.
=T a tailing; Tae Cesuluit.—Around is a Terrace composed of
stone.
g stows
a the roof is solid body of
Lord Grosvenor's Quay.—At Chelsea, notwithstanding the pre.
diction, that it would never pay, there is already a considerable
bustle in the way of business. The wharfs will be magnificent—
so will the warehouses. In their rest', on the north side, are rem
of small neat houses. The once celebrated approach to itanelagit
House called Ransiagb-walk; which, a quarter of a century ago,
was thickly planted with lofty elms, is become a street.

It is generally reported that the. Hon. Colonel Bun,
Ton, brother of the blarqule Coirrimaam, and formerly blemhet
of Parliament for Clare, will be a new Candidate at the ensuing
Heed= for that County.—Trial Alper.
In the time of GArrick, the produce of the Theatre,
' when lull, did not amount to more-than 3501. but 013 r
Winter Theatres, when filled, will hold double .that
sum. If those Theatres were reduced in the interior M
a reasonable size, the performances would afford much
more satisfaction to the public, the receipts would be
greater on an average than they are, and there need
be no orders issued to keep up a chew of company in
the house.

An attempt was lately made on Messrs. Peck, Bro.
,there, and Co. extensive East India Merchants, id Cole-
man-street, to defraud theni of the value of seven chests
of Congou tea, by a forged warrant. It failed because
.the boy who was sent to receive a check for the amount,
pretended, through excess of precaution that he was to
pay part of the sum (150/.) to a firm in Finsbury-square,
whose name, when asked, he could not tell.
A general meeting of the inhabitants of Dosferrni
line, for the purpose of forming a Mechanics' Institu-
tion, was held in the Relief Meeting-house, on Tuesday,
the 20:h ult. the Right Honourable the Earl of actm
in the chair. More than two hundred tradesman have
offered themselves as students, as soon as a lecturer is
provided, towards which steps are immediately to be
taken. Regulations, and a list of office-bearers for the
ensuing year, were proposed and adopted.
Friday, the daughter of Mr. Ban ett, fruiterer,
Church-street, Minories, was decoyed from her home
by a well-dressed woman, who took her as far as Bow-
common, where the inhuman wretch took from' her a
valuable coral necklace, gold ear-rings, frock, &c. In
this state she left her ; and the child was discovered by
a young man, who restored her to her friends about
'ten oklock at night.
Monday was performed the ceremony of laying the
foundation stone of eight Alms-houses, in the parish of
St. Leonard, Shoreditch. The estimated expense of
the buildings is £1,860, towards defraying which,
THOMAS PORTER, Esq. has generously contributed
one-fourth, and the Drapers' Company one-eighth, and
the remainder bas been raised by the voluntary contri-
butions of the parishioners.
