Wtrinsnu, SEPT. 11.—The symptoms of the Km;
still present increasing grounds for favourable expec-
tation. His hour of rising this day varied from that
of yesterday by half an hour sooner, that is, six
o'clock ; his fond and exercises have been uniformly
the same as the last several days. Mr. COOPER, his
M•,esty's own private Page, has been more regular
in ttendAnce on the Royal Sufferer within these few
days than for some time past. The KING has, from
frequent affectionate inquiries for his favourite domes-
tics, indicated a perfect recollection, at intervals, of
those servants vho have so many years stood highest
in his Royal esteem ; and this partial remembrance
is justly looked upon as one of the best symptoms.

NEll' PROJECTS OF IMPROVEMEIVT.

The new projects for the improvement of the Metro.
polls, are of the most magnificent kind.
I. A p'an is drawn for covering hue :hesitated scree with streets
and squares, between the New-road and Primrose-hill, on Mary-
la-bonne-park, and the estates of the Duke of Portland, Earl
Camden, Lord Southampton, Mr. Portman, Mr. Eyre, &c.—
There will be twenty thwiand houses in this one undertaking.
2. In the same way, all the fields about Kentish Tows sad
Holloway are to he covered with buildings.
S Lord Kensipgton has let an immense extent of ground, to
the left of the road opposite to Holland House, for the same pur-
pose; and Earl Grosvenor's lands are all to be built on.
4. A new canal, to be called tke Regent': Canal, is to be cut
from the Grand Junction, a. Paddington, to go by the north of
„Pancras Church, under the hill at Islington, and the New River,
by a tunnel, the north of Hoxton to Mile End, and from thence
to the Thames at the Bight, pear the West lnd'a Docks. And,
S. There is a grand project, to turn the Fiver Thames itself
intta a Wet Dock, all the way from Vauxhall to 1,,,ng Reach.—
, This is proposed to be effected by making a new tide river front
Blackwall to Gallions, and 'ront Deptford to Vauxhall, by which
all the intervening space of the present river would be made a
[soon! •
These are a few of the projects, in addition to those
which have been advertised, and of which we have
seen the drafts and proposals.

Wednesday, his Excellency the Duke de L'INFAN-
TAM, accompanied by Lord HOLLAND and Lord JOHN
RUS‘:ELL, was attended by Mr. WYATT to the Cold
Room in Carlton House, in order to inspect Mr. PHI-
LIPWYATT'S beautiful model for the new Drury The-
atre, which his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT
has graci ltisly allowed to be placed in one of the pria-
cipal ap.trtmenrs of the Palace His Excellency and
the whole party appeared h'ghly delivilted with the
exhibition. The Model of Mr. BENJAMIN WYATT is
also sp,.ken of in terms of the highest approbation; the
pretensions of the two brothers are, we understand,
put forward in the spirit of most amicable emulatit n,
and the contest, it is said, is now reduced to three Can-
didates—the two Mr. WYATTS and Mr. Witaixs,
who has produced a most classical plan on the model
of the ancient Theatres of Greece :inki Rome.

Major WILSON'S horse Antelope is matched against
TW"ISDEN'S Stripling at the first Newmarket
October Meeting.
A man boasting in a coffee-house, that he had
drank six bottles of wine, a bystander observed, it
was more than 4e could swallow.

Among the prisoners discharged under the late In-
solvent Act, was a chimney-sweeper; he said he came
there to be white.washett

A lady at Margate has been presented with a lap-
dog, in whose ears were a pair of diamond ear-rings!
Such is the refinement of folly.
It seems that x marriage is soon to be solemnized
between Mr. MARTIN, son of the Member for Galway,
and Miss SAVILLE, who brings him a fortune of
tE50,000. Of ail the feathered race, the notes of the
Martin will then surely be the sweetest !
Earl Carhampton havin,, just completed a mauso-
leum, near Pain's Hill, and finding it more spacious
than is requisite for himself and family, has sold the
fee-simple of a stone niche• in it to Lord Somerville,
his friend and neighbour, remarking to hini at the
same time, that as his Lordship had greatly engross.
ed the sale of live stock, he was.determined to see whe-
ther he could not himself turn a penny by the dead!
Mr. COTES has been requested to postpone his
tragic acting until the wilver approaches, as the vio-
lent exercise of /augh;ris, in the present weather, has
a very relaxing effect !
The dimensions of the new Theatre are not agreed
'upon, but it is geaerally. thought it will be large
enough, if it contains the creitiors of the aid!
The inclotures that are taking place in different parts
of the country occason a great deal of rairaig.
Canvassing for elective votes for Members' in an
expected New Parliament is now as briskly going
forward in many parts of the United Kingdom. as
that of Candidates for the vote and interest of Madam
Fortune in the present novel State Lottery. There
is a material difference, however, in the attainments.
The former can procure a seat only for seven years,
whereas a capital seat in the lap of Fortune may last
for life. The former too may cost thousands of
rounds : the latter but a very trifling sum, only 19
Guineas.

There is at this time the unprecedented instance in
England of the Commander of an East Indiaman
,having brought'his Second Mate to trial before a
Court Martial on a charge affecting his life. The
trial is Rising on at the Nore. The jurisdiction is
created by these trading ships belonging to a coin-
' mercial Company, and without a King's fl.g, having
ilettor of marre, which, it seems, subjects the ship's
company-to martial law.
It appears from the French Papers lately received,
that more than 1000 acres in the territory of Rome,
have been recently planted with the cotton .hrub. A
considerable cott'us m:11 was erected some time ago
at Therrnes, not tar frmn Rattle. A flock of Merinos
is also on its journey to the Campagna di Roma.
Saturday afternoon the horses cf a waggon, on the

'leaving a wife and family in distress.
