THE GRAND IMPROVEMENTS AT ST.

JAMES'S,

Tice plan of continuing Pall-mall by the splendid Crescent, and
the new road and enttante to the 'Green Park and his Majesty's
Palate, will give a fine eelip treed of the Palace from the extreme
end of Pall-mall-4c will also give beautiful and refreshing breezes
born the Green Park to Pall-niall and that neighbourhood. The
Jewel office, also the Lord Chamberlain's, together with Mrs. Bar-
nard's house adjoining, are included in the new improvements.—
ffir. Barnard's house would hate been taken down long since, bat
the King ordered it to be delayed u long as possible, in consequence
of his late Majesty having said, that Mr. Barnard should not be dis-
turbed. At present there is no approach to the Duke of York's new
residence, and it is resolved that an early period shall be fixed for the
removal of the official reskffinces that obstruct the Pall-mall entrance
to the Duke of York's mansion. Clevelancgrew and Cleveland-
square consist only of sixteen houses, which block up all view of
the new Palace and, the Green Park, and form a sort of burin to
the Park; which, when removed, will give great consequence and
splendour to the neighbourhood of St. James's. It is a part of the
town that has long been neglected, and the estimated expenses being
trivial, in comparison with the advantage of the improvements,
no time will be lost in getting the sanction of Parliament to the
measure.
