TEE MINBERS FOR MAJITMIRONS AND
THEIR CONSTITUENTS.

The last meeting of the Marylabor, Hepreeenta-
tire Couseil,r to as adjournment for a mesas of six
weeks, took at the Marylebone Court Hour on Satur-
day, on which occasion Mr. Halley Lewis, H.P., attended
on behalf of himself and his colleague, Lord Ferrer", to ea-
plain their parliamentary conduct during the late erasion of
parliament. Mr. Churchwarden Flutes presided. There
was • very full attendance.
NT. NICIOLAT moved a resolution expressive of the
thanks of the vestry of St. Marylebone to the borough
members for the great seal and attention they had paid to
the interior of the district during the late session of whs.
meet. H. felt assured, irrespective of politics, that the
borough numthers had faithfully and honestly discharged the
duties which bed devolved upon them.
The meths was seconded, and carried unanimously.
Mr. /Cum Lewis, M.P., who was received with great
thanked the board for the confidence they had
ae= by their resolution in his noble colleague and
himself. Rh .she hissed Lord Finney was compelled to
be absent, in order to be with hie family on a very interest-
ing worm. Re could speak for himself, end in doing so
he believed he wee also speaking for his &obis colleague.
when he mid they would ever be found willing to consult
the best interests of their constituents. On the
Turley he was happy to my they had had a similar et:
;Arent paid to them by the representative vestry of Pad-
dingtoo. Hi. noble colleague and himself bed also coetsm
plated paying a visit to the S. Pancras vestry after the
breaking up of parliament for the session, but, finding that
I that body bad already risen for their vacation, they would be
tumble to do so until after hi. (Mr. Lewis's) return from the
Continent. There bad been a variety of questions before psrl la.
meetdurtogthslate.esaioowhich affected the interests of the
metropolis. hut there was one to which he particularly
wYbed to direct their notice, because it would no doubt in
' the sonnet session command a vast amount of attention,
not only in parliament but throughout the whole metropolis.
The measure to which he referred was that relating to the
"Thames Embankment." The royal commission upon that
subject had terminated its labours, mad bed recoaumesded
, that the great_ public work uf wesbesiment el the
' Thames should be intruded to • royal esemnission, or to
the Department of Poldie Works. L) The The Chief Cm-
miesioner of Public Werke, ho_wever, did mot appear to
bare any desire to take ups biers" the responsibility et
rat herculean task, and proposed Mealiest it to the Retro-
politas Board of Warks,wbo, it was noderstood, intended to

difference of opinion, end whatever decision might be ar-
rived at, they mad all earnestly hope that at least so
delay would Wm place is carrying out that great
work in coneselien with the main drainage of the metropo-
lis-- (hear, hear)—a measure so essential to the relief of the
thoroughfares and districts of the metropolis, as well r of
the Thames itself, in a sanitary point of view. (Hear,
hear.) But or only was the sanitary reclaims of this
great city a point to be considered in carrying out this
etopeadous work, be (Mr. Lewis) thought it should be
combined with a plan not only for beautifyingi but for re-
lieving the overcrowded streets of the metropolis of their
enormous Weide. Being himself a readout of the rastropor

antipathy on the part of the provinces and their repre-

metropolis. (Hear, hear.) Such was not the case with re-
gard to other metropolitan cities en the Continent, but if
the provinces refund to contribute they ought certainly to
have no voice in the affairs of the metropolis. (Hear, hear.)
They might depend upon it that he (Mr. Lewis), as well as
his noble colleague, would resist any attempt to interfere
with local government in refiners to these metropolitan
improvements. (The boo. member then retired amidst
applause.
