IN addition to the extenfive improve- 
ments now carrying on in the metropolis, it is 
ftated that a plan is in agitation for a new 
entrance from the north, by a ftreet fixty 
feet wide, to proceed from Holborn, through 
the gardens belonging to the Honourable So- 
ciety of Gray’s Inn, to communicate with 
John-ftreet, Doughty-flreet, and through the 
new fquare intended to be built on the eaft 
fide of the Foundling Hofpital, to extend ta 
Battie Bridge ;-by which the prefent narrow 
and dirty extrance through Gray’s-Inn-lane’ 
will be avoided, and a direct and commodious 
entrance into the city from the grand fquares 
and ftreets now building on the -nor:h fide 
will be obtained. The ftreet through Gray’s- 
Inn-gardens is only to have houfes built on 
the weft fide, oppofite to which is to bea 
low wail, with iron railings, It is fuppofed, 
that by this improvement the Society of \. 
Gray’s-Inn will net about 2,cool. per annum

A very ferious accident has lately taken 
place in the Paddington Canal, which, till 
reparation can be made, has entirely put an 
end to the navigation.. It appears, that the 
cylinders which run under the canal, con- 
firu€ted for the purpofe of carrying off the 
land-waters, have burft, owing to the fudden 
frof, and let out nearly all the water in the 
canal, from its commeacement at Padding- 
ton to the fourth bridge. There does not re- 
main more than fix inches of water for near. 
two miles; which exhibits, or lately did, a 
theet of ice perfectly clear and tranfparent. 
This accident wiil be attended with much 
inconvenience and expeicz,to the proprietors 
of this ufeful and laudable undertaking, as 
the whole bed cf the canal, where the acci- 
dent has taken place, muft be relaid.
