THE HAMPSTEAD AND CHARING • CROSS RAILWAY COM.

EANY AND THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.

The report of the streets committee was presented,
stating that they had received a deputation from
the Hampstead, North-Western, and Charing-cross
Railway Company on the subject of a petition pre-
sented by the board against the company's bill now
before Parliament for making a railway from Haver-
stock-hill to the Charing-cross Railway, near to the
site of the Thames embankment (north), with
branches to the London and North-Western and
Metropolitan Railways, and to form streets 40 feet
wide from Tottenham-court-road to the Strand and
the Thames, near the Charing-cross KilwaY, with
a subwayfor foot passengers under the Strand ; and
also with reference to the present defective means or
access from Oxford-Street to Charing-cross, in con-
railway at Charing-erosa

that the street proposed would be a great
however, intimated to the deputation that

litan
t no
the additional width would entail upon them such
e considerablex n expenses
at o 3 that
aantdthey their
must look to the board for a
contribution or they would be com-
pelledr bill. The company had
made a proposal to make the street to the satisfac‘
tion of the board and to widen Buckingham-street
to 60 feet, on condition of having certain Thames
embankment lands valued at = 23,000 transferred to

hem, and also a grant of £75,000 towards the

expense.

On the motion that the report be adopted, an
animated discussion ensued, urging the board not
to waste the ratepayers' money, but to content
themselves with simply opposing the street 40 feet
wide. Ultimately,
Mr. ROCHE moved as an amendment, " That the
report be referred back to the committee, with in-
' struetions to insist on the intended road being 60
feet in width, and also to consider and report to this
board whether the proposed new street from the
Strand to the embankment (in the place of the pre.
sent Buckingham-street), is an approach, the cost
of which can be charged ex the funds provided by
the Thames Embankment Act."
Mr. FREEMAN seconded the amendment, and it
was carried.

The ront:ne bubinus having been di6poitd of, the
board adjourned.

same ignorance, real or affected, was manifested by
the Government when it was mentioned that the
Austrian squadron was supposed to be proceeding to
the Baltic. Really if all that those in high places
can do is to conjecture what is going to be done,
and imagine that other States will accede to
what is right and reasonable, but possess no
influence to make them do so, or to restrain their
mischievous tendencies, the post of Ministers seems
neither very pleasant nor very profitable, nor eon•
ducive to personal fame, nor calculated to enhance
public welfare.
