Sir,-I obscrve that the Temple Church, one of the very few round churcbes in this coun try, and said to have been built by the Knights Temolare, in imitation of the formv of the Holy Temple Ft JerusalePn, if; undergoing some repairs, ir preparation 'for wich a part of the old buildings attached to it, of beautiful Gathicarchitec- ture, has been pulle down with avery bold hand. tustthe ar- chitect has knowledge and taste enough to.have formed some ad- visable plan of improvement, othernise the Temple Chatch wil be added to the number of those specimens of our ancient Engish architecture, which bear the marks of modern Vandalimr. I do net knew who the gendeman is, and I sm far fromu having any wish to inspire a doubt of his abilities; but perhaps It may be pernitted to offer a caution against the introduction of any bastard arcblte- ture, which can be neitber designxted as Saxon, or ancient EngliSh The antiquary has now arn opportunity of eceing a beautifrl speci. men of the Saxon, asidst the ruins of the buildings just pulled down, on the outside of' this church: it is as fresh and white asif it were the work of yesterday, having been preserved for mny centu- ries from the air and smoke by the Gothic arches, which were erected against this Saxon pillar ann capital in after times. And, by the way, Sir, does not this specimen afford a hint of the style in whics the intended repairs should be made ? Does it nLet ahow that the Saxon-or lNormaan-( which are used, improperly, as synonymous terr,s) would be more correct than what is called Gothic ? If' we could doubt thia, the doubt ustul be removed by one viSit to the beautifitl Norman porch of this Temple Church, the adatiration of all antiquares; and a model, if they w ould but copy from it, for some of our exncrimental builders (soi.diwa nt archiEects) of the nresent dn.% r ,,An R ATTICUS. Oct. i. r ,. . vOuiuyou , ni r. esaiter, trouble yourself to look at the new St. Paul's uchool that is building, and inform rme whether those " a la Grec" ornaineits at the top of the cupola are in correct aste ? To mne they appear out of all order, and worse, if pessible, than those representations of suns which line the top of St. Psncras church, and which appe2r more fit'for a Persian or a Mexican temple than a church said to be built after a Grecian mnodel. I need scarcely add that nothing can be more distinet than architecture a la Gre, ana Grecian architecture: they are as different as a chestnut horse atnd a horse chestnut: or as far Temoved from each other, as the florid Gothic ofthe tinme of Henry VI., and the fantastictnixttare of what. we call the Elizabethan architecture, which introduced the GreciaTm orders, with some curious additions of John of Padua and Holbein, by way of supplement to the Gothic.

Crown Leases.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-Knowing your readiness at all times to expose, and if in youtr power alleviate, the grievances of the pablic. I beg to lay betore VoGn one of a very serious nature rore especiaUy to that part of the pub- lic Lwe are indebted to for ihe increase of the metropolis-ntaftely, the builders, occasioned by the shameful and unneceswsir delays of those persons who have the grantin0lcare. for rroundelhla under tile Crown. The grievance of which -ispeak occuirs as follows:--A builder takes a large plot of'gro,nd, lavs out all hismoney, andlnora by credit, in building upon it, seUls the houses he builds to advantage, upon agreement to have the money when a leaseis granted, which i S to be within a certain limited periotd. He applies day after day for Oae, two, and sometimes three years, before he gets iis lease frons sb Crown. In the mean tirne, what are the consequences? The buver of the houses is ofF his bargain, by not having the lease within the specified time sgreed. His (lite builder's) bills forsthe Taterials used in the said buildtigB become due ; lie not beirg able to pay them (having calculated upon having the nimner for the honses. prior to their corning due), is arrested-made bankrupt-the estate sold, which reaiizes about one-third the original sale, bv wvhich perhaps hi4 creditors get about five shillings in the pound. Thus is tbe mant who was once in affluest circumstances utterly ruined, with a severe loss to his creditors; and all this, by the infamous (for I can lasc no better term) neglect, whichi tenefius no one, of those parties who are employed fltr the purpose of granting such leases. if this should ineet the eye ot any of you.i readers who have the power, and will exercise it, of facilitating the granting of such leaits, it will save many a 'aifnily from feeling the pangs of abject want and poverty, which I fe.ar !. ms ofime.4 been occasioned by such delays.

Sir,-A statement regarding a seizure at the Fleet having appeared in your paper on Saturaay, in which my name has been improperly introduced, and for which I have sorne cause to complain, I trust you will state the fact as it occurred. Four Officers of the Excise came to inty office, and said they had a warrant to search a certain room in the pri.on for contraband goods, and requeted my protec. tion, as warden, in the discharge of their duty. I immediately gave orders to my oflcers to aid and assist them therein, and to prevent any, obstruction being made to them on the part of the prisoners. They went to a room on the basement story, which they found locked up, and, ou entering in at the window/, they found two boxes, con tamling 42 B3andana handkerchiefs, which they sgeized ard took away. There was no person in the room, nor were atmy pistols used in the way7 descri'atd, the offlcers only carrying them in their hands, nor was any violence exercised to nny person whatever.

The Times, 1824-05-24T00:00:00

It seems from some paragrapbs in the Calcutta papers, that our countrymen, forming the Erglish community of India, are not less dissatisfied tban we lhave expressed our- selves with the subsisting relations between Great Britain and Holland throuighout the Eastern Seas. Datch cupidity, and Datch illiberality, and Dutch antipathT toBritish com- merce, are the subjects of loud complaint among our mer- chants. This may be naturai, but it is not reasonable. So long as the Government of Holland a.bstains from acts amounting to positive illegality against this empire, we act foolishly in making it the scapegoat. The true offenders have been ouir own ilinisters, who, knowing (if they knew any thing) that the Dutch were a monopolizing and enter- prising people, placed English comnmerce so completely at their mercy, by surrendering, together with the most va- luable positions of the Indian Archipelago, all our means of control and effectual supremacy over Holland. 'fhe noble island of Sumatra, which we have now consented to- aban- don, is more than double in extent,and more than fifty-fold in value, the peninsula of Malacca, from which the Datch Grovernment has withdrawn its single factory. The island of Sumatra touches the Straits both of Malacea and of Sunda, the only two routes for the trade between India and China. 'As for the heavy taxes and embarrassing regulations im- posed upon any commerce with Dutch ports in the -Eastern Seas, we have, as has been stated, no charge to bring against Holland; but against those who enableA Holland to make her known system an engine for assaulting the general freedom of the Archipelago, and with it the commercial and maritime interests of Great Britain. If the natives of Java, and of the other British conquests, as well as of all our former Asiatic friends aud allies, be vexed by the sordid and rapacious tyranny of those in whose favour We deserted them, let the blame rest on the proper shoulders. Of Holland, for acting on Dutch principles, we have no shadow of title to complain. It was first Lord LON- BSONDERRY, antd next Mr.WYvNN, wvho threwv the cards into M. FAGEL's hands, sensible, as they must have been, what use his employers wiould make of them.
