A few days ago, a gentleman, travelling through

noticed, mounted the horfe, getlopped off with it and
the (addle bags, and has not Since been heard of.

, Tuefday the workmen began to Mite the kaffold
from the Steeple of Sc. Bride s Church, Fleet-Street,
the new fpire being finiihed. It is of a different con-
firuftion from the fall, which was (truck by lightning,
being of a pyramidical form, *darned with Sociales
and a handfome gilt weather cock, the whittle remark-
ably neat in appearance. Tits tower and late fpire,

the eralion of the prefent fpire has colt the parifh

Tice eaft window in Guildhall is undergoing an
entire repair. The iron work will be all new, and the
Oafs, and gothic architedurel ornaments, placed in
a handfome fituation. The fine collation of our
Rings and their Conforts has been removed until
the work is finned.
The dead wall which i..tercepted the view between
the noble manfion of the Marquis of STAFFORD and
the Green Park, was yeSterday begun to be pulled
down t an iron railing is to be crated in its place.
Now that that fide of the Park has become a place
of general promenade, this mud be confidered a very
aiaterial improvement.
The Charcoal-haute, belonging to his MAJESTY, we
wodernaitid, is alto Shortly to be pulled down. This
circumflanoe is the more probable, as now that the
allablifhtnent of the kitchen at St. James's is abolifhed,
there will not be any further reafon for preferring a
place, which was ufed only as an appendage to the
