SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha does not free the surface you give it, so your
code leaks two surfaces at these lines, one from SDL_CreateRGBSurface
and one from IMG_Load:

SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha(SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_HWSURFACE,SCREEN_WID
> TH,SCREEN_HEIGHT,32,RMASK,
> GMASK, BMASK, AMASK));
> 	SDL_Surface * TempSurface			=
> 	SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha(IMG_Load(PathName));

Instead use something like

SDL_Surface* temp = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(...);
gLevel = SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha(temp);
SDL_FreeSurface(temp);

Make a similar change for the second case, and you shouldn't lose any
more memory in that function.
