The *AMMAN mid, whim they (the ) had to
look a ems the vast injury width would be done, by this
memo in every point of view. In the first plies the mere
properl wee en infilagenesst and an invasion of the very
sot oilissrliantent under which the Bt's Canal Act woe
ohe 1812, for oonnectieg the iafaad amatry with the
Pool of London. Bo far as thaws, onneenioatkin with the
Pool of London and the country was concerned, that was
already provided for by the existing railways betimes the
Victoria and the Bast end West India Docks. This,
however, wee not the Ant attempt to convert the
RegoaYs Canal into a railway; an attempt was first
made to 1846, mad was defeated by the opposition offend on
the pert of the crown comraisaloaers, who ware dbeply in-
terested. A nosed attempt was amok in 1847, when Lord
Carlisle was at the heed of the Woods and Forests, and he
had no doubt but they would oppose this scheme again. Not
only, however would this scheme act Injuriously to a larp
el ms of wharggers and traders on the immediate banks of
the meal, bat it would destroy entirely the trade °flights.-
hc., and throw thousand' of poor bargemen out of em-
ployment. It would also damage the interests of the iron
and goods trades in far distant parts of the country, as it
would to • great maim entirely abut up the water traffic.
Past Wont owning to that meeting be (the chairman) had
readved • telegram informing him that there had been held
that afternoon a most important meeting of irouniamers at
Dudley, prodded over by Mr. Hartley, of the Gem of Thorney-
croft and Co., la which, after considering the matter, it wee
resolved to give opposition to the scheme on the ground
that such • scheme would premise the ironteasters getting •
great proportion of their heavier and larger goods to London,
and, in fact, shut tromnasters about Birmingham and its
vicinity out of the Landon market. (Applause.) They had,
therefore, determined on opposing the scheme.
Mr. H. regale appeared there to give his opposition to
this scheme as a revit on the banks of the Raglan's Cana.
(Hoar, ham.) His Mum stood as the banks of the oanal, at
the Nouwater-bridge, ferias the tang walk of the a/gallo-
ps*, sad on the opposite bank to Bt. Mark's Church. He
knew it had boa • swan= thrown out by some parties
that the Regeses Caul was little better than a ditch, and
that to • eenhary point of view it would be most beneficial
to convert it Into a railway. Now he could only say that he
had lived in his preemie residence for fourteen years, and
that he had never found any inconmaience, is • eaaitary
point of view, from the anal, out he felt convinced, "knitted
as his homes was, that if the canal were converted into • rail-
way his residence would be destroyed, and the nuisance and
noise would be nabserable.

lII.TONLIN represented the lightermen wheat the present
time used the Revolt's Canal, and who were another class
that would he ceetpletsly ruined if this project were mnc-
timed by parliament.
Kr. ISHa/lan, of Litnebouse, represented the timber
trade, of which the conversion of this canal into a railway
would be the entire ruin. Their preterit plan was to float
large loge of timber from the rim sod Victoria-docks into
the mall basin, and then float them along the canal to the
various points where they were required, paying the COM-
piny a tannage. If the canal were converted into a railway
this geode of conveyance, and mdeed all conveyance along
that route, would be destroyed, for it was impossible that
a railway could carry timbers of the enormous magni-
tude of loose they were at present in the habit of floating by
mesas of the canal. If they were compelled, se
of through theT,aories,uld
be, to roars to land carriage gh the WWII of

else to im • the traffic. (Hear, bear.) So, therefore,
is-

by moving a reeJlation to the effect, " That the Central of
London Railway and Dock. scheme, as proposed to be sub-
mitted for the sanction of parliament in the scatting session,
will, if carried into effect, inflict great private and personal
injury, without any corresponding pebbc benefit; and this
meeting therefore pledgee itself to oppose the bill."
Mr. P ILNFT seconded the resolution.
