Among the Architectural Drawings, there are several designs of Mr:
SOANE'S-one of them for a new State Paper Office, a square edifice without a column ; views of the new hall building for the Goldsmiths' Company, by Mr. HARDWICK (949); Interior of the new great hall in Warwick Castle (986); the new Schools of Christ's Hospital (1008) ; Bird's-eye view of the new Market of Covent Garden (1064); and other designs of intended and proposed edifices. Tnere is also a splendid "Ar- chitectural Idea" of the hall of Pandemonium," from Milton (960), which would imply that his Infernal Majesty has a more extravagant taste in architecture than George the Fourth himself. Mr. HOPPER'S design for Stables (968) looks like a Saxon castle, instead of an adjunct to one. We have not room to discuss the merits of the several designs for pro. posed edifices ; few of which will probably be carried into effect. We call the reader's attention to 982; a very clever and striking view, by SCHARF, of the opening made for the New London Bridge, as it appeared, this time last year.
The Models and Medals we must leave to the admiration of the curlous in those matters ; and so we take our leave of the Royal Academy.
