      The Pall Mall Gazette has been doing its best to please its supporters . Having , in the first instance , reduced its price from twopence to a penny , at the beginning of this year it appeared as a twopenny morning paper of unwieldly dimensions , to which an evening edition was attached , " The preference of the so public distinctl , however manifested / ' as the for notice that expresses editionthe it , " having desire been that that edition y should resume its original form , is so general and so constantly expressed that the proprietors of the paper hesitate no longer .

It of is a also gorgeous suggestive display of a of pelting lovely wet duction day , of a bricks cold east and mortar wind , or and of a their glaring accessories sun ; but of the dust intro and - workmen into these fites is decidedl , y a novelty . It may be that the Council of the Horticultural Society is powerless to mitigate the evil , and that it is that august body , the Royal Commission of the Exhibition of 1851 which is solely to blame ; but the fact remains that just now the Horticultural Gardens are desecrated by the erection of a couple of arcades on either side of the ento closure pass , thro before ugh entering which , in the their grounds unfinished and which state cast , it is their necessary influence in , the shape of brick-dust , lime , , and shavings on to the very flower-beds themselves . Luckily , this state of things is not to last for an indefinite period ; indeed , it could not , for the Horticultural Society would have to migrate to Chiswick or to temporary Kevv if the inconvenience nuisance were it to is become sorely permanent trying to , the but patience even as of a those who have invested their money in subscriptions to the Gardens , which they have regarded as a pleasant refuge from the busy and dirty world .
