{ We wish we could add that the nuisance 
of Smithfield market, is to be removed 
from the centre of the metropolis. | 
The Gazette of Tuesday, the 13th, con- 
tains a notice, that application will be 
made to Parliament in the ensuing session, 
for leave to bring in a bill to form a new 
street, so as to continue Pall-mall East,» 
eastward from the King’s Mews as far as 
St. Martin’s church, and to widen the 
communication between Cockspur-street 
and Craven-street, between the south front 
of the Union Club-house in Cockspur- 
street, and the north side of the Strand 
opposite Craven-street; also to form two 
streets on the north and south sides of St. 
Martin’s church, till they intersect the 
Strand nearly opposite the north end of 
Villiers-street ; also to widen St. Martin’s- 
lane on the east and west sides thereof, 
south of Hemmings’s-row and Chandos- 
street; and also to form a square or open 
space epposite Charing-cross, which said 
square or open space is to have the Union 
Club-house for its boundary to the west, 
and west side of St. Martin’s-lane for its 
’ boundary to the east; also giving powers 
to form a new street from the south end of 
Spring-gardens to Whitehall and Charing- 
cross in the line of the ‘court-yard called > 
Buckingham-court; also giving powers to 
widen the south side of Downing-street, 
and to improve and alter the south side of 
Downing-square and the north side of 
Fludyer-street ; also to alter and widen 
such parts of the present streets as will 
form entrances into,the said intended new 
streets. 
The new street, from the west, will 
take a direction north-east by north. It 
will commence opposite to Coventry-street; 
and by the removal of the south side of 
Sidney’s-alley (taking in Mr. Hamlet’s, 
the goldsmith, and Mr. Gibbon’s, the 
saddler, both in Whitcomb-street), the 
line will be formed, by the north side of 
Leicester-square. Then it will proceed in 
a gentle curve, due north, cutting away 
Cranborne-alley ; and henceforward the 
line will be straight into the grand street, 
and opposite Long-acre. This sweep will 
be effected by the removal of all the houses 
in Cranborne-alley ; the west end of Bear- 
street, the east end of Great Newport- 
street, part of Ryder’s-court, and the cor- 
ridor leading into the Panorama. The 
new street, on entering the grand street, 
will terminate the improvements in that 
quarter. The grand street will nearly an- 
nihilate all the triangular streets, which are 
very numerous about the Seven Dials, and 
particularly Great and Little Earl-street, 
and Tower-street. 
The improvements west of the metro- 
polis will extend through Brompton and 
Knightsbridge, and to the magnificent 
square now erecting by Lord Grosvenor, 
in the Eive Fields, Chelsea. At Knights- 
bridge, the Old Conduit; so famous in 
London Marriages. 
[Oct. 1, 
former times for the purity of its water, 
being repaired and beautified, has become 
an agreeable object. A superb new church 
is to be erected in the Nursery-grounds 
between Kensington and Brompton, oppo- 
site to Brompton Park. Park-lane is to 
be widened by the removal of the old wall, 
and the substitution of an iron pallisade. 
The buildings and improvements in and 
about the Regent’s Park advance with a 
rapidity that looks like magic, and are 
upon a scale of magnificence that is truely. 
astonishing. The splendour is somewhat 
marred by the meretricious architecture 
and ornaments of one, in ~ particular, 
of the otherwise grand terraces, or 
rows of buildings; but the taste with 
which the park itself is layed out, deserves 
high commendation. : 
In the neighbourhood of Carlton-house, 
the MacAdam system, a grand improve- 
ment in all wide and open streets, has been 
adopted, from the Haymarket and beyond 
the palace ; and to all appearance will be 
continued the whole length of Pall-Mall. 
At the breaking up of Bartholomew- 
fair, a circumstance took place, which 
never happened in this country before 
that of the Hyena producing young.
