Workmen have commenced pulling down 
the theatre at Hull, anda mew one is to-be 
erected on the same place. Jt is to be bui't 
in acircular form, with three, tier of boxes 
on each side, and two in front; with lobbies, 
&c. upon the plan of the London theatres. 
It is supposed the pit will accommodate three 
times as many persons as that of the present: 
and the other parts of the theatre will be 
proportionably enlarged, 
A spirit of improvernent prevails to @ con- 
siderable extent, both in York, the ancient 
metropolis of the county, and in many of the 
principal towns, particularly in the West 
Riding. At Wakefield and Pontefact some 
very handsome erections for the transaction - 
of public business, are at present in a state of 
considerable progress.. In. Leeds,’ much has 
been done within afew years, and much more- 
is intended to be done, with all. convenient 
dispaich.
