TRAMWAYS IN THE METROPOLIS.

At the weekly meeting of the Marylebone Repre-
@moieties Comae% bald at the Court House, on EtatunhiY,
CHAILIN CARR, churchwarden, in the chair,

Mr. Beaune &led attention to the dilapidated state of
the road paving of Oxford-street, between Duke-street and
Bond-street, and suuggggeasted that the subject should be at
onos taken into consideration by the paving committee.
Mr. Mrrcuct.i, said he had • resolution to submit in con-
nexion with this subject, which he thought might prove
advantageous. It was " That in referring the subject of
the poiring (d the roadway of Oxford-street, between Duke.
street and Bond-street, to the paving committee, it be also
an instruction to the committee to nacertaio how far it will
he desirable to lay down stone tramways along Oxford-
street between Duke-street and Bond-street." Ifs believed
that a Hat stone tramway would not only be • matter of
convenience and comfort to those who travelled over it, but
that it would be comparatively noiseless, as well as being
beeeficial to the parish in point of eeanoruy.
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. DITTANGLII, jun., said be had very long thought of
this subject, and he believed that such • tramway as that
proiaased along Oxfortlatreet would be very desirable ; but
he thought the diatom* between Boodetreet and Duke-
street would not be of MEL:lent length to practically test
its merits in Oxfordatreet. Although this was his view of
the matter, at the same time he would not oppose the mottoes.
Mr. Whernetar mid he should oppose the motion because
it was to he done at the expense of the pariah ; whereas be
supported Mr. Train's plan became he most liberally
offered to lay Ms tramway down without putting the pariah
to any expense.
Mr. TAVVIER held that the distance proposed would
not be a fair test; but at the same time he would support
the motion, because he believed that it was a step in the
right direction, that they should have tramways in that
parish, whether they be of stone or iron.
Mr. Onaime said, notwithstanding Mr. Wingfield's oppo-
sition on the ground of expense to the parish, be should
support the laying down these stone tnunways, on the
ground of the great saving they would effect. Atone, in his
opinion, would be much better than iron; and as to the root
to a rich parish like Maryletirme, they ought to be above
sevenths; the offer of any individual to lay down and keep
their made for them.

Mr. AIRRAHAIN said be would oppose this stone tramwny
scheme as strenuously as possible. because in the first place,
he was quite certain that it would be far better if Mr.
Train's .lore was adopted. More especially it would be •
matter of gross injustice to Mr. Train to permit such •
thing to be done natal the time Lad expired when hie plans
were to be again considered.
Mr. Fawn took • similar view of this matter. They
had, as • pablic bainl, agreed to defer the negation of Mr.
Train's primal fur street railways for three rierethe, and it
would be *either fair nor honest that so soon after that no-
mintier, they should refer it to •he paying ememidese to
adopt street tramways. Indeed, it would be • eose
breach of faith with Mr. Train if that bused ent.TMiaed any
such proprnal.
Mr. HMG= said he would go farther than Mr. 'yeah,
sal sat that this proposal, if adopted, would sot only be •
brood; of faith toward* Mr. 'from, but towards the Looiloa
General Omnibus Company, and to Mr. Curtis, who dal all
propmeil to lay plans for street railways before that lewd
at the expiration of three months. He mowed as an amend-
ment. "That in common jaatice to Mr. Train the discussion
ou the sub.ct of street tramways be adjourned till that Jay
ten weeks."

Mr.id.nint denied that this was any breach of faith with
Yr. Train, as it did not interfere in the slightest degree with
his seam. Yr. Train's eystam war* a railway with a gauge
wheel, and this was entirely different. It appeared, how-
ever. that Yr. Train's street railway at Birkenhead wee
comphiined when abeady. He (Mr. Filmer) held in hie
hand a Liverpool paper, which stated that there were great
public complaials tiniest the street railway.
Yr. ABILMANS rose to order. It wee very singular that
at Birkenhead the railway had met with the same class of
apposition as it had in Maryleboue, namely. from the clay-
men. (" Hear," and "Oh, oh.") The statement from the
Liverpool paper had, however, been refuted by Mr. Train
on the previous day at the Lambeth Vestry, who explained
that the oppositbm was got up solely on the ground that
the carrieces ran on his tramway on Suadays.
The Rev. J. H. I;CILNICT was not ashamed of hie reverend
brethren at Birkenhead for the course they had adopted in
this matter, and he believed they were as good judges aa
other classes of the community as to whether them street
railways were good thing., or not.
Mr. Mrrvitett, in reply, denied that he bad any desire to
commit a breech of faith with Mr. Train. Nor would this
do so, as it was wholly and entirely different front
is He felt, however, that something should beams*
to relieve the traffic in Oxford-street, and he considered that
DO harm could be dose an trving the effect of theme stone

The amendment wm negatived, and the motion curved
by • majority of 33 to 19.

Mr. J. Klotz-Roweell writer iu the French lan-
guage to the Time, re-easertiog most positively that his
plan of se excursion of volunteers to Paris received the
cordial approval of the Coommailer-in.Chief. He states
that the noble duke authorised him to write to the Emperor
Napoleon, to the effect that he (his grace) would experience
personally the greatest satisfaction by seeing the *them
earned out. The Minister of War equally approved of the
project, but with more reserve.

The Lywrpool Albion nays :—" We aro exceed-
ingly glad to Auden inquiry that few, if any, of the Liras•
pool coluutoers hare been deluded into the intention of
iota* the expedition to Paris. Vre have not the slightest
hesitation iu saying that the volunteers who do go will be
the rahhle of the fano."
