_ MAGNIFICENT Plan has been 
announced within the month, un- 
der high patronage, to raise a conti- 
nuous quay, or promenade-road, from 
Whitehall to New London Bridge. 
We long since announced in this mis- 
cellany such a plan for the Surrey side 
of the Thames, where the ground is 
less occupied ; but, in the present case, 
it is proposed to encroach on the river, 
and thereby get rid of the muddy and 
offensive shores. Of the value and 
importance of the improvement there 
can be no question, and we should hope 
that no interest will be successfully 
opposed to its speedy execution. The 
centre of the town requires improve- 
ment, to prevent the town itself from 
spreading over two counties. The 
expense is rated under 600,000/. but it 
will be worth a million, and will sur- 
prisingly improve all the short streets 
which now extend to the water-side; 
besides facilitating communications, 
and increasing the health of the metro- 
polis. We heartily wish it may be 
accompanied by the removal of the 
obstructions extending from South- 
ampton street to Exeter Change, also 
of Holywell-street in the.Strand, and 
of Middle-row in Holborn. The re- 
moval of Fleet-market is determined 
on, and it will be speedily followed by 
the opening of a grand thoroughfare 
from the North-road to Blackfriars. 
Let us hope that this plan will also be 
accompanied by the removal of Smith- 
field-market to Islington, and the 
erection of a noble square on its scite. 
With these improvements, and those 
already made and making at the west 
end of the town, London will be as 
magnificent as vast, and be in every 
respect the metropolis of the civilized 
world. =

We have more than once alluded 
with pleasure to the great increase of 
literature for the people. Certain 
Tory politicians vilified the two-penny 
trash, till they have rendered it uni- 
versal. Knowledge of all kinds may 
now be bought by the two-penny 
worth, in some of the numerous works. 
which every week meet the wishes of 
two-penny purchasers. The effect 
must be important, and tend to rescue 
us from all the crafts by which mankind 
have‘ hitherto beem abused and en- 
slaved. The employment which thes¢
