WANTED, ANOTHER UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.
—The scheme proposed by Mr. Baylis of a great
trunk line from Stratford to Oxford-street or Hyde-
pirk-corner, would remove from the City streets a
great part of that heavy omnibus and goods traffic, which
now encumbers the Poultry, Cher pride, Luigate-hiti, and
Fleet •st, eet. There is equal need for another line, or an
extension of the Metropolitan, to the rear of the Bank, and
thence again to Fenchurch-street, to establish communica-
tions between the north and west of London and the lines
that erealreadyen rapport with the Metropolitan and the east •
ern suburis and valleyof ttieThames. Until some such exten-
sions of railway communications are made, we must expect
an Increase, not a decrease, of traffic in the streets, and
seeing that to street improvement there must be a limit, we
must hope for increased space by railwaye blow the
surface, for therein do we best see the promise of an effec-
tual remedy for the evil which threatens to grow too great
for us. If we consider the wretched means of communica-
tion with the City at present possessed by the Metropo-
litan Railway, which carries 30,000 passengers a day, the
imPortance of extension will be seen to be in no way
secondary to any consideration of public convenience, and
f the extension hid to be made out of public moneys,
we b,lieve that in the end public interests would be pro-
moted Columensurately with the outlay.—Grity Press.
