NEW PALACE FOR THE PRINCE REGENT.

We understand that the arrangements are at last
completed for the erection of a new Palace for his
ROYAL HIGHNESS; and that operations will corn•
coerce early in the next Spring. The PRINCII aban-
dons Carlton House in consequence of the opinion of
architects that it would be impossible to give eleva-
tion to that edifice, or indeed any other that might be
substituted in its place ; and as a new Royal Palace is
necessary, a new scite ought to be chosen. After the
most mature consideration, the ground on which
Buckingham House now stands has been considered
as the most eligible. The late Queas's residence
possetses none of the requisites for holding Drawing-
rooms and Levee% The plan approved of presents
a picture of real taste and grandeur: it is a Palace
with three fronts; the grand one will be a most mag.
nificent object, and will have in perspective the long
avenue of trees, and- the Canal in St. James's Park;
the second front will command the Green Park, and
the third have a view of the Surrey Hills; for it is pro-
posed to give to the New Palace sufficient altitude to
overlook Pimlico. Thus the pile will have East,
North-west, and South-west aspects. The two latter
will be adorned with a noble terrace, in imitation of
the one at Windsor Castle. To complete this superb
structure seven millions sterling are said to be requi-
site; but as the PRINCZ REGINT is reluctant to apply
to Pirliament, his Royal Highness has given direc-
tions for the sale of the following property belonging
to the Crown, namely :—First, The ground on which
St,. James's Palace stands. Second, The whole of the
King's Mews. Third, Warwick-House and its ap-
purtenances. It is calculated that about £700,000,
in addition, will complete the whole.
Carlton-House goes to the Duke of .?our, for
valuable consideration.

The Triumphal Arch is still talked of: it will be
the grand entrance into London from the pew Palace,
and the bottom of St.Jamests• street is still thought of.

In virtue of the late Proclamation, Parliament was
formally prorogued yesterday from that day to the
1:3‘1 instant. The LottD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of
SH‘RTEssLTRY, and Lord Sr. HCL&NS, sat as Com-
missioners in the House of Lords. Some Officers of
the Commons, representing that House, attended
below the Bar.

Yesterday, the Tradesmen of his. Royal Highness
the Duke of Kerr dined together at Witus's, to
celebrate the Birth-day obis Royal Highness, and in
the evening their houses were brilliantly illuminated.
Yesterday, Prince Lzototv, accompanied by Baron
HARDZNBROOILZ and Colonel ADDIMBROLE, dined
with the Duke and Duchess of Kerr, at Kensington
Palace.

It is not true, as stated in the French Papers; that
Mr. Bil01)011Akt is in Paris, on his way to the Princess
of Wm.es. He is now in London.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARiNeE intends
shortly to pay a visit to the Port Admiral, Sir J.Goas,
and to the Commissioner, Sir R.BARLOW, at Chatham
Dock-yard, which is cleaning up. and being properly
adjusted for his Royal Highness's inspection.
Yesterday, being All Soul's Day, the annual Ser-
mon was preached at the Parish Church of St. Mar-
garet, Westminster, pursuant to the Will of Mrs.
JAHR BARNETT, commonly called the Oatmeal Wo-
man, deceased. She left to twenty widows of that
parish, forty shillings per annum for ever; twenty
shillings for a sermon ; twenty shillings to the WE•
Ctrs of the parish for a treat ; and one of the dishes at
the entertainment is always an oatmeal pudding ; and
two-and-sixpence each to the clerk and sexton.
Monopoly is considered one of the most odious fea-
tures in commercial transactions ; but this, we find, is
not a case without an exception :" the Contractors
for the present Lottery have monopolized all the Prizes
of a Lottery of 20,000 Tickets in one of 10,000, and
the Purchasers of the Tickets now on Sale have no
objection to take the chance of EIGHT Prizes of
£20,000, Two of which must be drawn in the First
rive Minutes, Harr TUESDAY, 9th November.
The net receipts of the late Grand Musical Festival
at Edinburgh, which are to be appropriated to cha-
ritable purposes, amount to full Thirteen Thousand
Pounds !
DRTIRT-LANE THEATRE.—Comedy continues to
reign with uninterrupted sway at this Theatre. The
Road to Ruin was performed last night, in excellent
style. ELLISTON'S Harry, and Munors's Old Dorn-
ton, are master-pieces, of which praise would be super-
fluous. Kntonr, in Silky, and Miss KELLY, in So-
phia, displayed unrivalled excellence. HANLEY'S whim
and spirit, w Goliffinch, obtained peals of applause.
COVENT GARDRN.—The same Comedy was re-
presented at the rival Theatre. Mr. Etaaan was the
()Id Dondon, for the first time, and sustained the
character in his usual style of excellence. Ilr..As-"
SOT performed the part of Young Dorman with good
effect; and Jones, as Goldfinch, was highly enter
taining. Miss BRUNTI3N, as Sophia, and MTS. DAVE?"
roar, as the Widow Warren, were quite " et &Uttar
The reconciliation bet Teen Mr. Hinnit liAeiltts
and Mr. CautaLes KIMBLE was creditable to both
parties. It took place publicly in the Green Room
' of the Theatre, when the latter apologised to' the
former for the harsh expressions he had used at the
time this misunderstanding occurred ; and the forma
to the leiter, for having .shuck hip, is the moment
of irritatigt.
