Further particulate of the meeting held at the Cif, al London Tavern yesterday, to take into consideration tilt improvement of the Streets: — Mr. %VILLIAMIS having been called to the Chair, te plied to some objections male on the futmer occasion Sol his plan of constructing " subways" or " passages," by which the necessity of removing the pavements and ear-, riage paths would be obviated. Ile stated that the ip prehension that the foundations of many of the houses would not be capable of resisting the shock likely to arise from the extensive depths which be intended to construct, was groundless, as within the City of London,' (and the improvements were to be limited to the bounds of the city), the foundations were sunk to a depth cobsi.l derahlv lower than that which he contemplated in firm. ire his subterraneous passages, and of course could not be interfered with by his project. If a Committee were appointed. information of the most important nature to the public would be obtained in a short time, and the work of improvement which appeared to be a mere chimera in the eves of some would proceed with a rapi dity and effect the most surprising. A conversation took place amongst several gehtlemen who seethed to consider the project a there ellusion and not at all reducible to practice. One of them thought it presamptuons to call a meeting without the necessary reparation, namely as estimate of the probable expenses agd.of the sources qfprofit.. Another staled that there orb a.great boldoesille the ,design, lista alihough per baps 6001, or 7001. might be raised by subscription to defray the expenses or a Bill la Parliament, that Bill would never get beyond the threshbold of the Haase of Commons. There were many objections, he thought,' lodependent of those already stated, and that of the pro bable o pposition from.thskighly useful and respectable companies now in esistence.Easides, a million of money would not answer the end. Mr. WILLIAMS said, that 100,0001. would do for a commencement, and be knew that money was to be bad upon the exhibition of a probable source of profit in the city of London. It was the practice to ridicule new im proveineets. They had more to contend with than Mrs ignorance; but be trusted that prejddice would 'bra itself in the coosideratioa of a qaestion of such immense usegaitade. He woo one of those who had recommended the use of gas in lighting the streets, sad he remembered Mew the suggestion was laughed at its the House of Commons. A company however was incorporated, and of money was raised for the commencement of the eadertakiog. Doubtless very large additional sums were required as the improvements advanced, bat they were easily supplied by the extraordinary saccessof the speculation. Upon the success of this plan he had also reason to calculate, and it was natural to &oppose that from the companies alluded to, assistance would rather be gained than opposition offered. -tidied the source of profit to which subscribers were to look, existed in those companies who. as they would be immensely he. edited by the construction of the "subways," could have no objection to pay fir the coatrisienco at the rate at which they were now payiag fig a comparatively iusig aincant eccolormodatios- • A GIENTI4II4OI „Sahli OM .111 r. suggested itself_es• Me some years ago, Circum stances interfered• to prevent him frees making it known.
