THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1862.

far IL PITO aid the other night he ,u Bated to the
eat bus, petleiala the plan he bad adopted, and he
thwegbt it wee the beet rider the circumstances. He did
not apes is the proposal for a pontoon bridge,but a substi-
tute could he found by Captain Fuwke, who had signally
succeeded is the Kahl tics buddies. (Oh. oh.) He (Sir
M. Veto) spoke with regard to the oonennetion of the build-
bag, sod not in reference to it in an arehitectard sense.
(A laugh.) Captain Fowke could easily make a footway of
timber 14 or 15 fest wide at the aide of the bridge at a
tridiog cost. No practical iscooveniecoe would arise to
riders w Rotten-tow from the road crossing it in the WA,
suggested. (?? Oh, oh," sad laughter.)
Sir J. PAKINOTON did not thin k that the right boo.
gentleman's plea was either the best or the worst. His
worst plan was that which be had wisely abandoned, for
making a subway across Keosingtongardene. (Hear,
hear.) He agreed with the hon. member for Honiton, that
the least costly, the most direct, and the most oonvenient
mode of meeting the requirements of the Exhibition, was
to allow public carriages to use the broad walk across
Kensington-gardens. (Hair, bear.)
Mr. PEACOCKE was in favour of the road wren Kam
sington.gandens. The right hon. gentleman's plan was,
his opinion' the worst that could be devised, as it would
spoil both Konsicgtongardem and Hyde.park. Mean
hear.) If he received any support, he should certainly
move that the vote be postponed, to enable the committee
to take the subject into cousiderittiatt. (Hear, hem.)
fir H. VERNEY thought there weld not be a more
direct road than that for which tae carte was asked, WI
Naw no
rbio to opening a stsekligger perils* et HO&
park fu public vehicles during tbe isbEitits. Why aril
not the whole read from the Marbieurek to Apaley-hems
and to Queen's-gate be thrown open to omnibuses sad
calm? Why also should not equestrians be allowed is ride
on the grass as they had dope formerly ? (Hear, beer.)
He would farther suggest that Hamilton-place should he
opened to Park-lane, to obviate the dangers at tar
traffic at the corms of the letter thoroughfare is
dilly. (Hear, hear.)
Si, J. FEROUSSON, as the representative of a pada-
cial constituency, objected to the vote on the beer pool
that its object was not of a national character. He saw ass
more reason why a road for the improvement of SOMIN to
the Exhibition in London should be paid for out of tile pale.
tic pans, than that the cost of improvements of rm. to
the Manchester Exhibition should have been so defused.
Mr. J. LOCKE could understand the noble lord the aim-
ber for Maryiebone favouring this measure, because his
constituents lived on the north side of the park. Dud be
thought Maryleboce could get as well to the Exhibition et
Pai2 without this road as they got to the Exhibition of
1851. There was so neeemity whatever for a
raid for the accommodation of visitors to the =J.
Ifgealy throw open the carriage ways te Hyde-park for
treat, that would afford ell the accommodation
that was required; and for a twelvemonth at least they
might My here the expenstest of following the example of
Treace, feed diartieue to regard cabs with horror.
Lord C. LENNOX objested to the temporary road, be.
cease he was sure that We the constituents of his noble
friend (Lord Fereloy) opposite hod found out the conve-
nience of the ensegessent, they would come down next
session for a rating ens to asks the road permanent.
After a few words from Mr. Aldermen Sabostoes,
Lord ELCHO said he sympathised with the people who
lived in Tyburnia.and,who would have to go to the Exhibi-
tion rowed Hyde-part either by Park•lasse or by Kensington.
This was not a temporary question. (Hear.) He thought
=rent arrangement ought sow to be seriously con-
BM he objected to a gentleman who had turned
out so remarkable an architect as Mr. Polite fitting out
outriggers es one of the few pretty thins they had in Lou-
don, the bridge over the Sarpentine. (Heart hoar.) Of all
the plane newel its shoeld support that of his hon. friend
the number for
Mr. B. STANirPleionght that under no circumstances
should • peessatient road be permitted through Kensington
Otudees.

Mr. PEAQOCKE moved that the chairman alundd report

The motion 'meth= negatived.
Sir J. FERGUSSON thought that this we. morellma

provement, end he thought the =panne ought to be
by tbe receipts at the door. Ile begged to move the mien.
Yon of the vote.

Yr. CO W PER said be had not thought it peoeseary to
reply at length to the proposal of the Useimble member
for Mentos (Yr. Cochrane), because it was obvious that
the read he teepees(' would be quite unsuited for the
trade of cake sad omnibume, it would be quite a quag-
mire. It was also a much longer road than that proposed
by Mural (Kr. Cowper), and wield poet a peat deal more
than 2,0001. Everybody, he thought, must feel that a car-
riage road as the level erase' Eeerringteegardens was not
a tkieg to be desired. All he wished to propose was that
carriages shoald go whore bones went now; aml it must
be remernbersid that this was a royal park, and no metro-
politan funds weld be devoted to the coestruction of a road
through the Park.
Mr. B. 000HEANE wanted to know bow it was pro-
poem& that pedestrians should reach Hensingtomgardecia at
all when than was a stream of carriages blocking the way?
Mr. COWPER reminded the bon. member that there
IMO pathways for foot penmen under the arches of the
bridge ea either side of the Serpentine, by which Keeler
tomgarderui might be reached without any interference
whatever front the carriage tea o.
