A Itram Meetieg is to be bold this evening, with
Sir James Doke as ehairman," to consider the neces-
sity sod advantage of establishing a central Metro-
polite& Market ea the site of Smithfield, and to pre-
vent the attempted removal of the existing markets to
a distant suburb, by which the cost of food would be
greatly increased to the whole body of 00111111111 ff
The saceseity of the establishment of a central Metro-
pathos Market is non-existent. The advantage of it
would be shown simply In an augnientatioa of the re-
issues of theeity. The nuisance to the public would
be intolerable. Any one accustomed to enter the City
hose the West-end daily knows how diMealt it is to
make a transit through the evergerged streets which
radiate from Newgate-market and the bay market in
Smithfield as centres. Lon strings of @arts, at met
or in motion, lie* the approsolora to both them marts,
while an army of hatchets, graziers, aid ether per
interested in the sale or purchased meat or
vegetables appose a resolute resistance to tie gator-
tussle foot-passenger. The aelghbourhood has I
always bees I. this 'codifies. Two hundred and
forty years ago, we are told by an aid writer that I
" Smithfield was paved all over, and the mid-
die part sequestered into a very fair and civill
walk, and railed about with strong rails to defend the
place from ariaoyanee and daager, as well hem
carts as from all meaner of cattle, because it was to
beresher that it might prove a fairs and pass-
able market-place, by rumen that Newest* Market,
Chealpside, Leadenhall, and Oricschurch-street were
ameseserreeily pestered fedi the sotimarinolsk Owosso
end muifipacity of markafoilso.• Bat the " an-
imaginable increase and multiplicity of market-
hike," had risen to ouch a pitch in two hundred
and forty years that flatithAeld booms at last a far
greater nuisance than the markets it was in-
tended to relieve, sad we have been obliged
to abolish it. The avenues to it on market
days were choked up, the beasts were subjected to
terrible cruelties, the lives of passengers endangered,
and the air tainted with ofiessive smells of all kinds.
This askew*, alter long years of indignant resew
obsess, we have succeeded in removing ; and It is this
Reissue in an aggravated form which a party in the
City wishes to restore. A great asetropolitaa meat
market as the site cf Smithfield would be the loess
to which innumerable streams of outs from every
pert of the metropolis and its suburbs would law.
We are at our wit's end eves now, to know what
messares to adopt for there:pose dewing the passage
of travellers through the City. We are widening
mew streets, pulling dews otters, cutting roads
through property of enermeas value, and proposing
sew bridges—all to enable is to get over little more
than a mile of road in shoat the IMO time that an
express train takes to transport es over twenty. Bat
the evils which we now feel so straggly are threat-
need to be increased by the melees development of a
new trade, which will bring hundreds of carts and
veggies into the already choked-up thoroughfares,
Market arta and French omnibuses will to each a
sane imeaspolhe the roadway for half a mile toned
Bt. Peers ; sad cattle-dealers, butchers, and farmers
will take solid pessimism of the footway, to the utter
amiesisa of portly pathway' in the way to their
slaw, sad asthma& old ladies wheezing toward the
Beak et Enema for their dividends.

We are mites to know the argliasab by which
it is proposed to support the plea of restoring a
diesarded nuisance, sod throwing dirt upon so Act of
Par Dermot which it took years of hard fighting to
gain. Report whisper that the Quantum of the
Excamarza has allowed himself to be pneneded by
the _eloquence of the iaterested parties, and that be
esercisee a goalie pressure open the Cbairnisa of the
Metropolitan Board of Wake. In obedienee to this,
Mr. Thymus takes the urtraordisary measure of
eicalaiog the opinions of the ambers of the Board
privately epos the subject. It is &dealt to inagiae
what the advoriatse of the re-introduction of the asi-
nine, cam say, except that as the (Sty hos ones had a
central sachet, it ought still to have am If they
are allowed the basalt of this strange reason, there
will be so grounds for Wining to allow it in other
ewe. Bring back to the My all its old filth. Lot
