Man, of our Readers will, perhaps, be amused,
by the following further particulars of the house and
furniture for Bonaparte :
We have already stated, .that the framework for
the house is ecarly completed at %Woolwich. The
front is in the pure simpiici:y of the Grecian style.
It is about 123 feet iielength, containing fourteen
windows, and a tine niicii corridore. The depth of
the lenilding is about 100 feet, with a bac!: corridore,
almost making the whole structure square.—lt is two
stories high, and will have an elegant cottage appear-
ance. The ground A or of the right division of the
house contains B inaparte's apartments. In the centre
of till, wing is his drawing.reoin, which, as well as
the other apartments I.r his accommodation, is spa.
cir'us, being about 30 feet in length. by a breadth of
`2O. This proeortion tuns through the whole. Next
' is his dining-roim, with an adjoining library, behind
which is a capacious biihard-room. His bed-room,
dressing-rnotn, and bath, are of course connected.
The lett division of the edifice contains spacious and
well suited apartments for the officers of his suite.
The rear comprises the setvants' and store-rooms.
l'he kitchen is somewhat curiously constructed, being
detached from the regular building. and yet per-
fectly coaveitient to the dining.rOom, without cone
municating any offensive fumes to the principal rzolge
of rooms. This is an improvement of nu small
value in a sultry climate. The hall is plain, and
merely 'furnished with seats. The courridare will fur-
uish a cool and shaded promenade.
The drawing-room is coloured with various shades
of green. The curtains are Pomona green, made of
light silk taboret, bordered with Nil green velvet, and
edged with a gold coloured silken twist or gimp to
correspond. The green silk forms is fine ground for
the border -and the style in fitting up the upholstery
is new, chaste, and simple ; ;he curtain rings are
concealed under a matted gold cornice, enclosing the
rod on e !licit they sun. Tue supporters :tie gilt and
carve] pities, and the greu velvet folds form itzto
the webiteciure of the eo..ne 6.1 falti,7g *tre;.etes
lines at each of tsie windows, where they draw
sineieh an without interrupting the pro-
gress of two usetul but often excluded proeerties of
stature—air and light. The centre table is formed
out of one piece of exquisitely veined British oak.
polished in the very highest degrecot perfection."l'he
pier table is of the same timber and quality, inlaid
with a slab of the yea antique marble of Mona, the
only place in which this precious material is now
found, and surmounted by a pier glass, with a frame
of Buhl and ebony. The chairs in this apartment
correspond with the tables. There are also two
Greek sofas, with foot stools; these are peculiarly,
elegant, bang enriched with highly finished or-molu
ornaments. The carpets are of the Brussels texture,i
in shades of olive, brown, and amber; colours finely
calculated to hat monize with the tone of decorations
in the room. 'rite walls are of light tints of sage
green, with beautiful ornamented ipannele in Ara-
besquegold. The colours, it will be observed, ascend
from the darker shades upon the ground, until they
are lost in the cream colour of the ceiling. This pro-
duces a harmony in the decorations, which is in the
highest degree elegant. ase of the drawing-roomi
recesses is tilled up by a piano-forte, and a lew taste-
ful chandeliers and candelabras are occasionally in-
troduced with a pleasing effect.
The Dining-room.—A neatly finished table, sup.
ported by substantial claws and pillars, capable of
being divided to suit a company of from six to four-
teen. The sideboard intended for the Imperial plate
is af a new form, pure and simple in its construction
and decoration. The wine cooler is of bronze anil
rich stood, and shaped alter the fashion of the Greek
Bacchanalian vases. The Chairs are plaits. The cur-
tains are of lavender-coloured silk, with a rich black
border, relieved by a gold-coloered silk lace and cord.
The eerpet and walls are shaded with the a • nle co.
hars, falling into with a black and brown relief, the
latter, of various hues, pervade the room.
The library is fitted up in the Etteucan style, with
a number of dwarf book-cases. The curtain: are of
a new material, composed of cotton, which produces
the appearance of fine cloth. The library table is
particularly elegant, and mechanical ingenuity has
been laboriou.ly applied to furnish it with desks anti
drawers, suited to every convenience of study and
accommodation.
The Sitting-room is fitted up with several cabinets,
formed of ebony, inlaid with polished brass ; the
carpets are ethereal blue, intermingled with black.
The Bed-room contains a high canopy bedstead,
with curtains of fine straw-coloured muslin, and lilac
draperies of Persian—the entire edged with a gold-
coloured fringe ornament. The beektead encloses a
curious musquito net, formed of a. .. weft, embossed
with transparent rich drapery. The thessinr.,•-r4tom
ipossesses the usual conveniences required by taste and
comfort. l'he adjoining bath is nilirbie lined, end
as constructed, that it can admit either hot ur cola
water. • •

nirgatturers.thioughout the k ingdpnt.
