COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held
yesterday at Guild-
hall. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and there
was a full attendance of members, the meeting being a
special one upon important business.
THE PROPOSED RAILWAY INVASION OF THE CITY.
Deputy LOTT, the chairman of the special railway com-
mittee appointed by this Court a short time back to consider
the subject of the numerous railway projects affecting the
City of London, said that he had a motion to make, the
effect of which was to empower the committee, in the present
urgency of affairs in connection with the projects by which
it was proposed almost to destroy the City of Landon, to at
once petition Parliament, and to take any other steps they
might consider necessary for the protection of the interests
of the citizens of Landon and of the public ; but as Alder-
man Finnis had another motion upon the same subject,
which was of very great importance, he considered it advis-
able that this motion should be brought forward at the same
time. (Hear, hear.) Ho was happy to inform the Court
that the merchants of the city of London had taken up the
matter and had held a meeting upon the subject, and the
Corporation of London would now have their powerful co-
operation and assistance to stop the mischief which was sought
to be effected. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
Alderman FiNivie then presented a petition of the COM-
mittee appointed at a public meeting of bankers, merchants,
and traders oi the city of Lon.ion, on the 4th inst., praying
the Court to takf, into conpMeration the various schemes of
projected railways in the city of London, with a view to their
postporamor,t,
in order that tneafaxela may be adopted to
