now entirely at an end In consequence of the "Message

therefore Mr. Alderman Robertson, Mr. Dennis, and
others, wisely withdrew all opposltion. The party of
caution are now free of r.sponelbWty, and it mm
first with the Great Western Directors to make
their V
promises. and secondly with the Mayor and .
Alderman Howard, Mr. Alderman Eliot, and others,
to make sum that the railway and steamer esmonny
do not gala, from their position, advantage which the
Council ought not to cede to them without full return.
I am vary glad that the steamers are to start with
May; but those who have to dredge the harbour
moat be smart.

Losing the King's steps seems to be one inevitable
result of permitting the new *teeing, and this will

Most just was the resolution of the Council with
regard to the bridge—namely to make passing vehicles
pay fore new bridge by mesas of a toll. As to taxing
the general public, be it remembered the present
bridge is tolerable fqr foot passengers, even when the
streams of church and chapel-goers meet on Sunday
nights, for then the awkwardness is quite troublesome,
not so much on the bridge keel', ea on the approaches
thereto. From the centre of the bridge, too, we can
alwxiagent: breath of (rah air, and on this account
it ht not be desirable to lower it; but the strain
and the delay of vehicles, to say
of the diflloulthe of opening and shutting outweigh
every other conaideration, and make it absolu y
neosesery to have a more modern one. But it must
be charged on the vehicles, and I am curious to know
what the large brewers will give, they certainly being
the most conommed.
