THE PARK.

The new avenue from Carlton Terrace to St. James's Park, although not quite finished, was opened for the first time on Thursday morning at an early hour. Report says, that the monu- ment to the Duke of York is to occupy the square. The entry is by three flights of steps, nine in each flight, with spacious landing- places : the steps are sixty feet long. We take credit to ourselves for being the first to suggest a mode of access equally simple and elegant.
