The new entrance into the Green Park, through the splendid arch- way erected a few years ago, was opened to the public on Monday. It commands a fine view of the garden-front of Buckingham Palace, as well as the fine and extensive plantations behind it.

The workmen have commenced removing the dead wall in James Street, and will give several yards oat of the Park to widen the street.
