METROPOLITAN COMMUNIVATIONS.

. At the last meeting of the committee on metropo-
litan communications, Mr. W. Jackson in the chair,
Mr. LlosxL GISBORNE, C.E., said that be would con-
fine the water-way of the river to a width of not less
than 700 feet (the length of Westminster new bridge),
by means of quay walls on both shores, the present
wharves to be accommodated with floating basins of a
minimum width of 100 feet, with entrances for barges.
The quay wall on the Middlesex shore, from West-
minster to London-bridge, to be 21 feet over Trinity
high water mark, avoiding the necessity of drawbridges
over the entrances to the tidal basin. From Westmin-
siter-bridge to St. Paul's-wharf, where a new bridge was
contemplated by the Corporation of London, Mr. Gis-
borne proposed to have a, covered esplanade for foot
passengers next the river, 20 feet in width, alongside of
which, for 50 feet, the ground would be let for building,
except opposite Whitehall-gardens, the Temple, &o.
Parallel with the eiplans.de, and extending-from West-
minster-bridge to London-bridge, a railway to be con-
structed. Next the railway, a street 40 feet wide from
Westminster-bridge to the proposed bridge at St.
Paul's. Large cellars to be constructed under the
esplanade, railway, and road. Opposite Whitehall,
the Temple-gardens, &c., as wel! as from St. Paul's
bridge to Londombridge, the quay wall to be four
feet above Trinity high water ; and the esplanade.
railway, &c., to be carried on columns not less than 25
feet apart, so as not to interfere with the view of the
river. The quay wall on the Surrey tilde of the river to
extend from Lambeth Palace to London-lwidge, and for
the greater part of the distance to be about 21 feet above
Trinity high water. The existing wharves to be accommo-
dated as before mentioned. Next the river a road 70 fr.
wide to be made, alongside of which the ground to be
let for building purposes. The esplanade, with a Paxton
roof of glass, would form a most delightful promenade
for thousands who lived at too great a distance to visit
the parks. By his plan the navigation and scouring power
of the Thames would be materially improved, and it
would prevent the formation of shoals, which were con-
stantly making their appearance. The entire cost of the
works was estimated under 1,900,000/. The annual
ground rents of shops, warehouses, wearves,&c., with the
rec_ipts derived from the railway, would amount to
103.0001. a,,nually on an outlay of 1,900,0001. He con-
sidered 55,0001 per annum was available by lettii.g
river-silo property, which at-30 years' purchase would
amount to 1,650,0001., about the estunated cost of the
whole work. Calculating that 30,000 passengers a-day
would take advantage of the railway, at lid. a head, or
allowing Id. p,r head for profit, and id. for working ex-
penses, the yearly proceeds he estimated at 45,0001. Mr.
Gisborne went into a variety of other details as to his
plan, and concluded liy stating that it had Lord Pal-
merston's approbation, who wished to see it carried
into effect.
The committee having minutely examined their plans,
said they would give it their best attention.
