The _New London Bridge_, now nearly completed, is a work of great
magnitude, science, and novelty. Its erection, in our times, and
following the recent finishing of the bridges of Waterloo and Southwark,
is a memorable event in the annals of London.

The projected _Tunnel under the Thames_ is not only a novel object
in this part of London, but, should it ever be accomplished, it will be
a wonderful triumph of human talents over seeming impossibilities.

Although so many useful and even important improvements have been
recently effected in the metropolis, there are yet many things left
undone that ought to be done, and others proceeding in a manner that
will neither be creditable nor beneficial. The widening and opening of
_New Streets_ from Pall Mall to the British Museum; from that
national repository to Waterloo Bridge, skirting the two theatres;--from
the Strand to Lincoln's Inn Fields, and thence to Holborn; and again
to Covent Garden;--from Charing Cross to Somerset House;--from Oxford
Road to Bloomsbury Square and Holborn;--from Blackfriars' Bridge to
Clerkenwell, removing and clearing away that nuisance in a public
thoroughfare, Fleet Market;--from Moorfields to the Bank, and thence
obliquely to Southwark Bridge;--widening and opening the area around
St. Paul's Cathedral,--are all calculated to be very beneficial to
the public. Other essential alterations are still required; and the
legislature, as well as all public-spirited individuals, should
co-operate to promote them. The formation of open, respectable quays,
terraces, and streets, on the banks of our fine river, is an event
greatly to be desired.

The vastly-increasing population of London, has occasioned a great
augmentation of _Churches_ and _Chapels_, both for congregations
