GREEN applied yesterday to the Mad, gistrale at Queen-square Office, for an order fur some of the Police Officers to attend at the Gun, at Pimlico, some day in the ensuing week. .0•he Intended to ascend in a balloon. The Magic.  Vote said he had no authority to order Ow Officers on any such duty ; Mr. G. might ascend if he pleased, but he was surprised any one would v,nture his neck after the dreadful accidents which had occurred.—M. Green said he had no fear of his neck, and departed rather disappointed. New litmutNos.—The building speculations in the suburbs of the metropolis still continue to an amazing extent; but, perhaps, they are no where ;neweling more numerously and actively than in Pimlico, by the King's Road, the handsome new Church at Chelsea, at Hammersmith, at Chiswick (where there may be said to be a new town built), and onwards to Turnham Green, Sce. Through Kensington, alone, several thousand houses are buil., or in progress of building, vastly increasing the neighbourhoods of Kensington, Hammersmith, Chiswick, &c.; and on the other side of Camden Hill, Kensington, a new road is now forming from the Hammersmith road to the Tyburn or Uxbridge rca Ito come out at Shepherd's Bush. On one side of this grime new road, as far as it is formed, severest first-rate houses are already built. These buildings, will greatly improve the property of Lords Holland and Kensington. The latter i.ebe has several fields covered with bricks and brick kilns to but d the streets, squares, crescent, &c. formed and partly commenced at this spot. As a specimen of the manner in which ,rims individuals have improved their property, by letting fields on building leases, and thus securing a goon muny ground rents— one instance may be known. Just beyond Kensington Gore, and previously to entering Kensington, nearly facing the Park gates, there are some fields that were heretofore let to a cowkeeper for his cows to feed on. Of those fields what lierete fore brought a rent of 32!. which was lowered to 301. has now been let on building leases, and the ground rents idone, it its stated, will he upwards of 3001. a year ! Many similar insten:ds might be adduced. The individual at Hammersmith, who put up a board to let thu ground, adding, that " bricks, money. anal timber," might be tad, has now removed it—but the she e frontage is occupied with houses recently built, or with found. tions tor houses.
