escalation to many el Its csowded perdition. They report
that • considerable extent of pound in Waltham Fared
has been enclosed without any consideration being rid, for
the forestal right of the crown, and they recommend that
immediate steps be tam by the crown to assert its right
and to abate such molonues. With regard to the remain-
ing portion of Waltham Forest, they recommend that the
mastion of parliament be obtained for its enclosure ;
that the rights of the several parties interested ,be moor-
Mined ; and that provision he made, pertly by these
means and partly by purchase, for securing an adequate
portion of the forest for the purposes of health and

ing= the estate itself. The o3romittes date that no portion
of the crown estates can be allotted for recreation and ex-
ercise, inasmuch sa grants for lands are restrained by the act

mittee recently formed for the erection on a large scale
of comfortable and commodious homes for the working
dames in the metropolis, and at reasonable rents, held a
meeting at the Mensom•houe with the view to further the
project, which, it will be recollected, is to be tarried out by
a public company on the principle of limited liability, and
with a large capital calculated to yield a return of 5 or 6 per
cent. On taking the chair Lord Stanley reminded the
meeting of what had taken place at their previous confer-
ence, and stated that a sum was now subscribed sufficient in
the opinion of the committee to render it advisable to com-
mence operations forthwith. The capital, he added, was
coming in very rapidly, and the principal business thee be-
fore them wee to appoint directors for the purpose of carry-
ing on the Winnow Alderman Waterloo explained that
20,0001. of the proposed capital (50,0001.) in 1061. shares bad
already been subscribed ; and afterwards, on his motion,
the meeting proceeded to the election of directors, with
power to complete the formation and registration of the
company—viz.. Lord Stanley, Mr. Henry Edwards, Alder-
man Waterloo, Mr. Samuel Morley, sad Alderman Fionis,
who were empowered to add to their number two other
duly qualified shareholder. It was then arranged that
as soon as the necessary articles of association could be
prepared for the signatures of the shareholders the erection
of the proposed dwellings should be at once commenced,
and the directors intimated that they would be glad to hear
of building sites in densely inhabited districts of the metro-
polis. On this point Alderman Finals alluded to the pro-
priety of communicating with the various City companies
and the governors of metropolitan charities, most of whom
were permed of large lauded properties. It was also
mentioned that for the present all communications and

CITY OF LONDON TRAFFIC REOULATION BILL.—
A meeting to consider this subject was held at Mears. J.
sad R. Morley's on the 20th instant, and was numerously
attended by the leading wholesale firms of the city ; Mr.
Slater, of the firm of Messrs. Morrison sod Dillon, in the
chair. It was unanimously resolved—Firstly, that this
meeting, while it acknowledge* the necessity for regulating
the largely increasing passenger traffic on the leading streets
of the City, deprecates any additional power being conferred
on the corporation beyond what it already possesses under
the existing pollee act, which may lead to an undue hater-
foresee with the convenience and interests of trade, by a-
-1 maiming interruption to the delivery and removal of goods
to sod from the shops, warehouses, and premiss in the
City. Secoodly, that a small committee be appointed to
take measures for carrying the principles of the above resolu-
tion into effect, consistiog of Mr. Robert Slater (the chairman),
Mears. Samuel Morley, S. Smith Travers, John Porter
Rater, Benjamin W. Hoene, John Gould, and John Howell.
itILINFORCFAIILNIN FOR INDIA.—A report that
order& have been received from the home government to
fortify Bombay, has been supplemented by a rumour that
10,000 troops are about to be despatched to India. There
is no doubt, we believe, that in consequence of the return of
ao unusual number of regiments, a lugs number of troops
will be sent out as reliefs, and probably they will amount to
near 14,000 men. It is likely that some portion of the force
will proceed through Egypt, the palatial effect of au occa-
sional display of British military power in that quarter being
beneficial, air view of the efforts made by France to obtain a
footing there. It is very probable that advertisements for
transports will soon appear.—Liverpool .41611 a.
