A meeting wee held on Thursday evening at
the ilablonine Hotel, upon an invitation addressed to the
inhabited" and owners of property in the square, "to take
into consideration the present state of the enclosure in

the inhabiteets and owners of surrounding property in
relatiou thereto—and to adopt such measure' for restoring
the same to an unincumbeeed condition u may be pried. '
cable." Xt. Nind, prspristor of the lablonitre Hotel, was
cancel to the amts.. He drew attention to the aireumsbutees
under which the present condition of the square bad arisen.
He stated that in 1851, owing to the neglect in keeping up
of the enclosure by the freeholder upon whom that
duty devolved Under a decree in Chancery, the ger&ra
ground of the square had become a receptacle for all kinds
of abomination& A proposition was then made to construct
an elegant temporary building for the exhibition of •
gigantic model of the globe, such building to be constructed
exclusively of iron and glass, and to remain there for three
years only, the building to be thee removed end the
nudes restored. Deluded by these fair promises some of
the inhabitants gave their concurrence, whereupon
the present structure, differing eutirely from that sti-
pulatd for, was erected, and has remained to the
present time, offering the dilapidated add unsightly sp-
lenetic* which has drams discredit upon the locality, and
operating to the detriment of the business of the sur-
rounding inhabitente. He also stated that it was reported,
upon apparently good authority, that projects were on foot
fur the future occupation of the building complained et, se
a cafe ehaotent, and as an equestrian circus ; end concluded
by calling upon the inhabitants to unite in whatever mum
were open to there to restore the equate to a donut said
creditable condition. Resolutions were unanimously a
denouncing the alleged deception which had been pdre:lt
towards the inhabitants en to the present structure in the
encloser" appestat's a ooronaittee to inquire what

mans for their enforcement ; else for the creation of •

same=acted upon immediately, and a sum considerably

amount promise& A resolution was also pseud approving
tho measure of Lord Redeadas sow Ware parliament, for
dealing with open spaces and gardens in London and pre-
serving them for the public benefit, and expressive of the
