Holloway rierierall,y, wee held at the Whittington Wee
Tavern, Highgate-blii, for the purpose of cmaidning the

and the western districts of the metropolia. Mr. HAM-
Nam at Pinchley, waa called to the chair. •
The ormapany were represented by Mr. Tindall, solicitor,'
and Mr. De Winton, the (azalea.
Mr. TIM.= said several meetings bad been held with
respect to this line, commencing at Tottenham from the
station of the Eastern Counties Railway, proceeding on to
the Great Northers Railway. at the Horsley station, end so
on to the HreaspettadJanetroo. The meetings at Tottenham
and H were strongly in favour of the hoe, but the
people of te rather opposed it, because the railway
did oat pass t Highgate town. Now it was imps.
slide to terry the Use to the top of itighirstwhill, but they
proposed to woes the bathes of the Mu, which would be
pnaticable, and give the required accommodation. The
meeting was oiled to give the inhabitants of that district an
portunky of expressing their views upon it ; and after

It will be recollected tbst at titled court an application
was made by Mr. Train, an American, the patentee of car-
riages to be drawn by homes and intended to run upon iron
tnniways in peat thorough/Ares, for the permission of the
overt to lay down hie tramway in some of the principal
etresta in the City se an expenment, wad he offered to do
so at his own cost, and also to replace the paving if the ex-
periment did mat succeed. A motion was made upon that
occasion that Mr. Train should be requested to attend the
court and explain more particularly what he proposed to
do, and give the commissioners say izionnation they might
require from him.
Mr. Train accordingly now attended, and brought with
Yea a very pretty model of Ida proposed tramway and rail-
way serreage. The eubject has been so frequently and so
fay before the public very recently that it will not be
assoliary to go into any lengthened desails on the present
astatioa. It will be sealant to elate that Mr. Train pro-
to lay down iron tramways in the principal thorough-
traversing the City from east to west, upon which
and oommodious carriages will be placed, capable of
=solfurorty-eight passesgers—twenty-feer inside and
outside. carriages will each be drawn by
fileobalses, and the maximum speed to be allowed will be
abed AP miles an hour. Mr. Train explained the par-
ticulars of Lie invention at some length to the court,
and said that all he wanted was a trial, and he was niat's
to run all the risk, both pecuniary and otherwise, thit
would be incurred by the experiment. All he wanted was
a trial, and he felt so certain of success that he relied en-
tirely upon the patronage and support of the public to re-
imbrue' him any expense he might incur in bringing his
scheme into operation.
A number of questions were then put to Mr. Train by
different members of the court, and Mr. Alderman Law-
rence aired what course would be tam in the event of an
accident hapingd , such as • cart being upset acmes the
Aar'
rails, or of that sort taking place.
Mr. Tea= of team Each a thing as this might
occur, but the line wield very soon be got clear. Ile also
mid drat the flange of the rail would only be dee-eighths of
an inch above the level of the road, so that any ordinary
carriage could easily pros over it.
A long and very desultory conversation then took place,
in the course of which Mr. Train admitted that he war not
particularly anxious to commence his operations at once in
the City, and that he bad not yet made up his mind which
,s he take ' east to the west, and

Mr. Train was then requested to rethe.
Dr. Boas moved that the subject be referred to the Ge-
neral Purposes Committee with • view to their making •
report to the court as to the propriety of sanctioning the
applieatioa. He expressed himself stroaglT is favour of
the proposed scheme, and said that in his °maim it would
be a peat advantage to the City of London if it was carried
oat.

Mr. Deputy Larr ascended the motion.
• Mr. Deputy PIWTEMS supported the motion, led said
that any one who saw the crowded state of their thorough-
fares, and the danger to the public in consequence, must
admit the necessity of something being done, and he be-
lieved that if this scheme were carried out it would bare
the effect of entirely relieving tbeir greet thoroughfares,
and that it was. almost a providential discovery. (A laugh.)
Mr. DE Jeaser said he was not quite so 111111411100 as to
the remelt that would be derived from this mode of
travelling as the worthy deputy, and be was
very much amid that it would not be found
quite so perfect as it was represented when
it came to a trial. At the same time be wished it to be
understood that be was tot at all °mord to the plea, but,
talon into consideration that Mr. Trail% himself admitted
that be was not anxious to commence his operations it the
crowded thavoghfares of the City, be thought the better
coaxes would be to adjourn the coanderaties of the subject.,
which would give ea opportunity to nee how the plan
worked in other places, and this court would then be in a
better position to decide upon the matter. He should
therefore propose an amendment to that effect.
Mr. DeputHawinoe seconded the amendment.
L. Mr. H. Tina, in sumorft the amendment, said it
amend to him that Mr. Tone would be perfectly satisfied
with the foam that was saggested to be taken, as the effect
would be that the matter would hare full oonsideration
and it would give him the unity of making his plan;
man pm
and
He also that it would be as well for
him top Wore the Metropolitan Board of Works and get
their manse to his scheme, and he might perhaps be able
to bedews then to level Holborn-hill sad Snow-lull, which
would be a very great advantage to the public, as well as
