EDINBURGH IMPROVEMENTS.—It will afford satisfaction to our numerous readers in

Scotland to learn, that the improvements which are already far advanced for the benefit and adornment of the Northern metropolis, are now about to be completed. The Committee of the House of Commons, on Wednesday last, found the preamble of the Bill for this purpose proved,—which implies approval of the measure ; and on Thursday the sum of 05,000/. was agreed upon, in aid of the assess- ments formerly authorized ; and the Bill is making rapid progress through the Committee, notwithstanding a keen opposition. We are well assured that these improvements will, when completed, add much to the convenience and comfort as well as to the splendour of the city of Edinburgh.
