offer to your Royal Highness their heartfelt
ufelhtcgohnngersas htutlae-
tions on the safe delivery of her Royal
Princess of Wales, and on the birth of a Royal Prince.
Living, as it is our happiness to live under the beneficial
rule of our gracious :-overeign, we cannot but indulge the
hope that the people of this country may witness in suc-
cessive generations of her descendants the virtues by which
her Majesty and her late Royal Consort have been dis-
tinguished. We fervently pray that the late auspicious
event may contribute to this end, and that the grandson of
Albert the Good may be richly endowed with the virtues of
his illustrious grandsire."
" May it please your Royal Highness,—
" The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commoners of the
city of London, in Common Council assembled, rejoice in
the opportunity, which is afforded them of tendering to your
Royal Highness their hearty congratulations on the birth
of your first-born son. The citizens of London, who hailed
with delight the advent of your Royal highness to our
shores, will ever take a lively interest in all which can effect
your happiness and welfare. They rejoice, therefore, in the
event which is calculated to add to the domestic happiness
of your Royal highness, and they trust that you may be
long spared to watch over the Royal Prince, and that you'
may be rewarded for your care by witnessing in the young
Prince the gradual development of those virtues which
alone can add dignity to the position to which by birth and
lineage he is entitled."
The Court then proceeded to dispose of the business for
which it was specially called together, which was to consi-
der a report of the Improvement Committee, brought up by
Mr. Deputy Fry, and asking the sanction of the Court to
the plan agreed upon by the committee, in connection with
the Holborn Valley Improvement Bill in Parliament. The
report gave a detail of the plan and the mode in which it is
to be carried out, and stated that the bill had already been
road a second time, end was to go before a committee on
Monday.
Mr. Deputy FRY made a few remarks, and hoped the
Court would agree with the report.
Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY, while agreeing with the general
plan, thought that the 80 feet which was the width pro-
posed by the committee for the high level roadway from the
Old Bailey to liatten-garden was too wide, and,he proposed
that it should be only 70 feet, which he said would make a
reduction of some £15,000 in the expenses, and ho proposed
an amendment to that effect, and also that the width of the
other streets should be left an open question.
The amendment was, however, lost.
Ono or two other slight alterations were proposed, but the
report was eventually agreed to, and referred back to the
committee for execution.
THE PROPOSED RAILWAYS IN TUE CITY.

In accordance with a motion placed on the paper, Mr.
Deputy LOTT moved as follows :—" That it be referred to
a Special Ward Committee to take into consideration the
various railway schemes now about to be introduced into
Parliament, and which comprise projected railways enter-
ing into or traversing this city ; and to report to this Court
whether any of them are likely seriously to affect the inte-
rests of this city by the disfigurement of the streets, the un-
due annihilation of the buildings, the destruction of trade,
and the expulsion of the inhabitants."
Some discussion took place as to whether the matter
should be referred to the Law and Parliamentary Commit-
tee, or to a Special Ward Committee, and Deputy Lott's
motion was eventually agreed to, with the addition of the
words, "and how far they may affect the ratepayers by
widening streets, which are already sufficiently wide," and
the Court shortly afterwards adjourned.
