BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY.

The following papers relating to briganda.,e in
Italy were presented to both Houses of Parliament
ast night by command of her Majesty:—

No. 1.

MR. ODO RUSSELL TO EARL RUSSELL,—(ReCeiVed Dec. 18.)
(Extract.) Rome, Nov. 24, 1862.

The Bourbon Committee have lately sent a further de-
tachment of 260 men to join Tristani's band on the frontier.
They were well armed, and wore blue overcoats and red
trousers, so as to look like French soldiers at a distance,and
thereby deceive the Italian outposts and patrols.
The men enlisted are chiefly Bavarians, Belgians, and
Spaniards. Tristani's headquarters are, according to cir-
cumstances, either at Santa Franeesca or at Strangolagali,
and he draws his rations and supplies from Veroli.
It is difficult to conceive for what object the Bourbon
Committee continue to keep up and organise these useless
bands of foreigners, who, beyond annoying the inhabitants
of the Neapolitan frontiers, have achieved no other result
than to discredit the cause of King Francis 11.

No. 2.
EARL RUSSELL TO EARL COWLEY.

Foreign-office, Dec. 27, 1862.

My Lord,—Her Majesty's Government have freely and
candidly expressed their opinion to the Government of the
Emperor respecting the French occupation of Rome. Her
Majesty's Government have no desire to pursue that argu-
ment further for the mere purpose of controversy.
But, upon a question closely connected with the French
occupation of Rome, her Majesty's Government must, in
justice to the interests of Italy and of Europe, call upon the
French Government to interfere with the Pope's advisers.

The Pope himself, with the benevolence Which is charac-
teristic of him, has always held that his temporal dominion
ought to be a territory free from foreign quarrels and aan•
guinary conflicts. In this spirit, in 1848, he declared in
his allocution of April 29 that he would take no part in the
war of Italian independence. The passage alluded to is as
follows :—" It is wholly abhorrent from our counsels, see-
ing that we, although unworthy, discharge on earth the
office of Him who is the author of peace and lover of charity,
and agreeably to the duty of our supreme apostleship re-
gard and embrace wi:h equal paternal earnestness of love
all tribes, peoples, nations."

In the same spirit, when the Bishops of the Roman Ca-
tholic Communion from all parts of the world went to Rome
in the course of this present year, they described Rome, in
an address to the Pope, as the seat of a temporal authority,
independent of any other; "the eentre, as it were, of uni-
versal concord ; a place where no human ambition breathes ;
where no one ever intrigues for terri ;oriel dominion." They
remind the Pope of his own words, that "it is by a special
disposition of Divine Providence that the Roman Pontiff,
established by Christ the centre and chief of His whole
Church, possesses a temporal power."

If the French army at Rome protected a power thus holy,
religious, and charitable, the evils of the French occupation
would be in some degree mitigated. But there is a long
distance between the theory thus stated and the existing
fact. The political banditti who invest the southern pro-
vinces of Italy have their headquarters at Rome. They con-
stantly issue from haunts, rendered secure for them by the
cover of the French flag, to destroy whole villages and to
murder the peaceful farmers of the south. A detachment
of 260 men lately went from Rome well armed, and clothed
in blue overcoats and red trousers in order that they might
look like French soldiers, and thereby deceive the Italian
outposts and patrols.

If such detachments of robbers were to be sent from
Switzerland into Lombardy the Italian Government would
at once protest, and the Swiss Republic would at once put
an end to such au unfriendly proceeding.

At Rome, however, things are done in a different way;
and the high dignitaries about the Pope's person, as well as
his illustrious guest the late King of Naples, are believed by
the world in general to be the instigators of these incur-
sions.

It is obvious that if the Roman Government were really
independent, it would be at once called to account by the
King of Italy for these aggressive and unjustifiable pro-
ceedings, and would not venture to disregard his just and
well-founded remonstrances.

The continuance of these barbarous outrages is, therefore,
an evil entirely owing to the French occupation of Rome,
and it would cease at once if proper orders were given by
the French Minister of War to the General commanding
the French troops in the Roman territory. The Minister
of War has but to say peremptorily "Let brigandage cease,"
and the Roman banditti would be extinguished in a fort-
night.

Her Majesty's Government cannot refrain from submit-
ting to that of France that the Government of the Emperor
ought either to leave the Roman States to settle its own
quarrels and to atone for its own misdeeds, or it ought to
insist upon a behaviour on the part of the Pope which shall
be peaceable towards his neighbours, and in conformity
with that impartial love and universal charity professed in
words by Pius IX., but utterly disregarded in action by his
Minister.

My Lord,—l read yesterday to M. Drouyn de Lhuys
your lordship's despatch of the 27th inst. relating to the
evils resulting from the political brigandage which is orga-
nised at Rome against the southern provinces of Italy, and
which her Majesty's Government consider it to be the duty
of the French troops, as long as they occupy Rome, to put
down and prevent.
M. Drouyn de Lhuys said that he had no objection to make
to the general principles laid down in your lordship's de-
spatch, and he could assure me that the Prince de la Tour
d'Auvergne had gone to Rome with very strong instructions
upon this important subject. He would state, further, that
the opinions of the French Government had been conveyed
to the Pope, to Cardinal Antonelli, and to the ex-King of
Naples, in a manner which he could not but hope would
produce a proper effect. There-was, no doubt, great exag-
geration as to the extent of the evil complained of, but evil,
he could not deny, there was ; and he would take this op-
portunity of renewing in pressing language the instruc-
tions with which M. de Latour d'Auvergne was, as he had
stated, already furnished.

The screw steamship Megmra, Commander S. H.
Henderson, arrived at Spithead yesterday from
Corfu, Malta, and Gibraltar, with a large number
of military and naval passengers, officers and men,
from the different military stations and ships serv-
ing in the Mediterranean. Her military list com-
prises—From Corfu, Royal Artillery, Assist. Surg.
Comyn and one gunner; Royal Engineers, one ser-
geant and two sappers ; Ist battalion 9th Foot,
Capt. Douglas and Ensign H. Luck ; 2d battalion
9th Foot, 3 men ; 2d battalion 6th Foot, 6 men.
From Malta, Royal Engineers, Lieut. R. 0. Jones,
for Hythe ; Ist battalion, 22d Foot, 3 men ; 2d

dren ; Ist battalion 25th Foot, 4 men ; 4th Rifle
Brigade, Capt. R. H. Evans and 1 man ; 2d battalion
15th Foot, 15 men; 2d battalion 23d Foot, 9 men.
From Gibraltar, Royal Artillery, seven men, two
women, and four children ; Royal Engineers, four
men ; 2d battalion 2d Foot,five men and two women;
2d battalion 3d Foot, four men, one woman, and
three children ; 2d battalion 7th Foot, Lieut. Mont-
gomery, one man, woman, and child ; 2d battalion
Bth Foot, four men, one woman, and child ; 100th
Foot, one officer, nine men, two women, nine children;
Military Store Department, one woman and five
children ; Commissariat, one woman five children;
the servants, horses, and baggage of Col. P. Somer-
set and eight military convicts. The naval list com-
prises a number of seamen and marines from the
Mediterranean fleet, naval officers invalided and
appointed to other ships, and several private passen-
gers. The Megmra went into Portsmouth harbour
last evening, and transferred her naval passengers
and invalids to the shore and her Majesty's ship
Victory. The military will probably not be landed
until this afternoon or to-morrow morning, when
those ordered to join their depots will be sent on to
Their several destinations and the invalids to
Chatham. The Megmra left Malta on the 27th ult.,
and Gibraltar on Wednesday, the 4th inst., at 4
p.m. Fine weather has been experienced through-
out the passage.
The Syrian, screw gunboat, was yesterday re-
moved from alongside Portsmouth dockyard to
harbour moorings in readiness for commission, on
the conclusion of her second water-pressure test.
The paddle-wheel steamer Terrible, 22, 1,850
tons, 800-horse power, fitting for the first division
of the Chatham steam reserve in the Medway,
has, upon examination, been found in such a defec-
tive state that the repairs required to be executed
upon her are far more extensive than those at first
ordered. Her machinery and engines are being
erected in the fitting shop, at the dockyard, but
owing to the want of sufficient height, they cannot
be fitted until after the Terrible is afloat. These re-
pairs upon this paddlewheel steamer, which is the
finest of this kind in the British navy, will, when
completed, render her almost as good as new.
The paddlewheel steam vessel Triton, 3, Lieut.
Commander Kerby, left Plymouth Sound on Thurs-
day evening for South America.

mouth on Sunday evening for China via the Cape

MR. ODO RUSSELL TO EARL RUSSELL—(Received Jan. 28.)
(Extract.) Rome, Jan. 14, 1863.
Your lordship has learnt that General Count de Monte-
bello denies in the most positive manner the truth of the
statement relative to the passage of brigands over the
frontier, contained in my despatch of the 24th of November
last.

Reliable as my informants appeared to me to be, I must
now suppose that they were in this case themselves de-
ceived, and I regret to have unwittingly sent incorrect in-
formation to your lordship.
I also regret to say that I found General de Montebello
somewhat annoyed at the occurrence. He said that, by sup-
posing that men could be armed and equipped in Rome,
and sent to the frontier without his knowledge, I had
blamed his military administration of Rome ; but that cri-
tism was a matter of indifference to him so long as his
own conscience and sense of duty were satisfied.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF GlBRALTAR.—Yester-
day a teleararn was received from Malta annotate
ing the death of the Right. George Tomlinson, D.D.,
Lo d Bishop of Gibraltar. His lordship was educated at St.
John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1822.
Having been for some years minister of St. Mathew's
Chapel, Spring-gardens, Westminster, he was nominated
in 1842,during the Ministry of Sir R. Peel, to theßishopric
of Gibraltar. The appointment, which will fall to the gift
of the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colo-
nies, is worth .61,209 a year, payable from the Colonial
Bishopric's Fund ; and the Bishop's jurisdiction extends
over Malta and the Islands, and the other British posses-
sions of the Mediterranean. According to Mr. E. Thomp-
son's Calendars, there appear to be at present about 42
clergy in the diocese.

The paddlewheel steam vessel Medusa, Jabez
Loane, Master, tender to the Cumberland, at Sheer-
ness, arrived yesterday (Tuesday morning) at Ply-
mouth with seamen and marines belonging to the
Mars, 80, Capt. James N. Strange, just paid off.
His Portuguese Majesty's screw steam corvette
Sada Bandeira, 21, from the eastward en route for
Lisbon, arrived yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon in
Plymouth Soimd, and exchanged salutes with the
authorities.

I told the General how much I regretted that any state-
ments of mine should have been a cause of annoyance to
him ; that I had made them on what I considered good au-
thority; and that similar statements formerly made by me
bad been entirely confirmed by his predecessor, General de
Goyon. The means employed, I said, by the Legitimist
Committee to send men and arms to the frontier had formerly
been as follows :
The men were sent singly on foot to certain convents on
the frontier, while old French uniforms were bought from
the Jews in the Ghetto, and, as well as arms and other
equipments, carried bit by bit to isolated vignas in the Cam-
pagna, and at night packed in old herring casks, and gra-
dually conveyed to the frontier, where they were distributed
to the men already there assembled.
The General said he had entirely put an end to such pro-
ceedings; besides which he now had the full co-operation of
the Papal Government to put down brigandage, and that
he could assure me on his honour that armed men could no
longer leave Rome and proceed to the frontier without his
knowledge, and that I had therefore been misinformed, and
the statements sent home by me, and communicated by
Earl Cowley to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, would prove to be
incorrect: _ _ _

the last arrivals had formed into their places. The
proceedings commenced by the inspection of the Ist
battalion 3d Buffs, which had arrived in the camp
during the temporary absence of the Lieut.-
General commanding. The regiment formed line
on the right company, and the ranks being opened,
the inspection followed in the usual manner. This
over, quarter distance column ou No. 1 company
was reformed, and orders were given for a general
move. The advanced guard was formed
by two squadrons of the 13th Hussars, who left
the ground followed by the remainder of
the regiment with G and C batteries Royal
Horse Artillery in support. Brigadier-General
Hodge and his Staff preceded the remaining two
regiments, the 12th Lancers and the 6th Dragoon
Guards. Then followed the 3d infantry brigade,
under the command of Col. Sargent, C.B. (the Buffs)
consisting of the 2d Queen's, 64th Regiment, 3d
Buffs ; the 2d infantry brigade, under Col. Smytb,
C.B. (76th Regiment), 2d battalion 24th Regiment,
76th Regiment, and 26th Cameronians ; the Ist in-
fantry brigade, under Col. Holcombe (Ist Royals),
2d battalion Ist Royals, 37th and 61st Regiments,
and Ist battalion sthFusiliers. A field battery was
attached to each of the infantry brigades. After
marching through Hale and Heath-end the division
returned to camp shortly after noon.

gineer; Wm. Andersea, clerk, to the St. Vincent;

I replied that I was glad to hear from him that he was so
successful in putting down brigandage, and I hoped lie
would occasionally give me some con ect information on
these
subjects as his predecessor, General de Goyon, had
done.

Count de Montebello replied that he would do so, and
.
'
that for the present he could tell me that Tristan i's band
,wa- reduced to about 60 men, and would probably Boon
be altogether disbanded and destroyed ; that in Rome he
had put a stop to all communication between Tristani
and his employers, and that he had lately seized and
confiscated in a Roman printing establishment about
2,000 copies of a printed proclamation calling upon the
Neapolitans to rise and
King Francis 11. join their legitimate Sovereign,

WHERE TO CUT IT.--A Yankee boy had a whole
Dutch cheese set before him by a waggish friend, who how-
ever gave him no knife. "This is a funny cheese, Uncle
Joe, but where shall I cut it ?" " Oh," said the grinning
friend, "cut it where you like." " Very said the
Yankee, coolly putting it under his arm, "I'll cut it at
home."

Mr. William Haywood, engineer and surveyor to
the Commissioners of Sewers, has just presented a
report to that body, as the result of a general exa-
mination of the plans of the various railway and
other companies and of the other public bodies
which seek powers during the ensuing Session of
Parliament to enter and execute public works
within the city of London.
The projects, seven in number, are as follow :-
1. Ludgate Station and Junction Railways Bill ; 2.
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway'Bill ; 3. Me-
tropolitan Railway Bill; 4. Great Eastern Railway
Bill (New Metropolitan Station and Branches) ; 5.
Metropolitan Bridges Bill ; 6. Blackfriars-bridge
Bill ; 7. Thames Embankment (New Street from
Black friars-bridge to the Mansion-house) Bill.
The first-named project is to form a company,
with power to make a central railway station some-
where between Earl-street and Skinner-street, city,
with junction railways to connect the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway and the Metropoli-
tan Railway, and also a railway in connection with
the new Smithfield-market. The property scheduled
begins from the northern side of Earl-street, and is
bounded on the west by a line 10 feet from the
eastern side of New Bridge-street, which runs along
that street, Farringdon-street, and Victoria-street,
to the city boundary. At the northern boundary
of the city the property as far back as to Fox and
Knot court and King-street, Smithfield, is taken.
The eastern boundary of the property scheduled
thence to Earl-street has an angular outline, the
width of which, measuring from the western boun-
dary, varies from 200 to 300 feet. The total area
scheduled is about 171 acres, of which the area of
public ways is about 3-1 acres. Fleet-lane is to be
stopped up, Water-lane and the streets leading
from it into Bridge-street are to be arched over.
Earl-street is to be spanned by a girder-bridge 16
feet high, and Ludgate-hill by a similar bridge 18
feet high. Neither the details of the station nor
its exact position are yet determined. If the bill
passes into law the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company is to construct its line up to
Earl-street only. The Metropolitan is to stop at
Victoria-street, and the Ludgate Station Company
will construct the station and the connecting lines
between them. The powers of the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Railway Company for taking the
land in the city expire on the 6th of August, 1863.
It appears to be most probable that a large portion
of the property at the western end of Ludgate-hill
will be taken down, which Mr. Haywood says will
present a favourable opportunity of widening that
Important thoroughfare at its junction with Far-
ringdon-street and New Bridge-street. He suggests
that the railway company should certainly be re-
quired to cross Ludgate-hill with a bridge of such
a span as will not interfere with the widening of
the street at any future time.

By the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway
Company's Bill the existing powers of the company
for completing the purchase of property within the
city, from the Thames to the south side of Earl-
street, which expire in August next, are sought to
be extended until the Ist of August, 1865, and the
time given for the completion of the line is also
sought to be extended until the Ist of August, 1867.
The company seeks power to construct numerous
branch lines within the southern suburbs, which
Mr. Haywood says cannot fail to be cf great conve-
nience to the public, as forming part of that general
scheme of metropolitan railway communication
which he considers must ultimately be carried out
in some shape, the principal point to be aimed at
being that all such railways should be placed in
direct intercommunication with the other railways
within the metropolis.

The Metropolitan Railway Bill is to empower the
company to take additional land upon various
points of the line of the proposed railway ; within
the city this additional land lies between Little
Moorfields and Whit ecross-street. They also
seek powers to extend the time for the purchase
of lands which they now possess under various Acts
for a period of three years from the present session
of Parliament.

The Great Eastern Railway—New Metropolitan
Station and Branches Bill—is to empower the com-
pany to make certain branches in the eastern por-
tion of the metropolis also, and pass over the City
Ex tension of the North London Railway which is
to be in Liverpool-street, Bishopsgate. The pro-
posed miiway is to cross by a viaduct over the North
London Railway at or about Worship-street, Shore-
ditch. It then proceeds on the western side of that
railway, and nearly parallel to it, touching the city
area for a short distance at Primrose-street and
Skinner-street only ; thence running outside the city
boundary, nearly parallel to Long-alley, it crosses
Eldon-street and enters Finsbury-circus. It is to
be built upon a viaduct, the level of the rails at
Eldon-street being 18 feet and at London-wall 19
feet above the present street levels. The area sche-
duled within the city, nine acres and upwards, is
bounded on the north by Eldon-street, south by
London-wall, east by Finsbury-payment, and west
by Blomfield street. From this area four chapels
and the eye infirmary at the north corner of Blom-
field-street are alone excepted.
A. complete railway system for the metropolis,Mr.
Haywood observes, might once have been so ar-
ranged that a station might be within half or three-

quarters of a mile of every house, and that a passen
ger going to any one st ation could proceed to any par

of London without leaving the railway until he ar-
rived at the station nearest to his destination. Con-'
strutted as many lines of railway now are, or are
authorised to be made, the full general benefit which
might have been gained by such a system is unfortu-
nately lost ; but there can be no reason why the
principle, if a sound one, should not be held stead-
fastly in view with regard to all futuro lines. The Me-
tropolitan Railway, which has just been successfully
completed, is intended to be extended up to Fins•
bury-pavement, an Act of Parliament having been
already obtained for that pui pose. The level of the
rails at the terminus will be 18 feet 6 inches below
am
the surface level ; while the Great Eastern Exten-
sion, as now proposed, will have the level of the
rails 19 feet above the surface level ; and u
sur-
face near both termini being at about the
level, there will be about 37 feet 6 inches differencese
between the levels o‘fvitlll:evytiwth'oinrailways,

railways, therefore, will enable the inhabitants of
the metropolis to cross from north to south with a
celerity and comfort at present unknown to them.
They may be expected materially to relieve some
lines of streets of the present traffic, and will un-

doubtedly prevent that traffic from increasing at
the present rate, which bids fair in a short time to
make some of the main streets of the metropolis all
but impassable. The Metropolitan and portion of
the London, Chatham, ar d Dover Railways, there-
fore, bringing together as they will the northern
and southern suburbs, should be rvgarded, says Mr.
Haywood, as forming a trunk line of what may be
termed the metropolitan railways, from which the

full advantages will not be obtained if opportuni-
ties are in future lost of connecting other lines of
railway with them; for, if the metropolis is to
obtain the greatest possible benefit from the various
railways now converging to its centre, it will be by
establishing, as far as practicable, direct inter-com-
munication between them. Nor is the direct con-
venience and comfort of passengers the only point
to be regarded, for the same means which would
give facilities to them would enable goods to be
conveyed without break to or from all parts of the
metropolis, and the relief of the streets in any
degree from ponderous goods vans must be regarded
as a great public benefit. Indeed, although the
question of metropolitan and city convenience has
alone been alluded to by him here, the subject, he
says, has really a far wider scope, as it embraces
the question of unbroken railway communication
befiveen-various parts of England-remota-Item the
metropolis. The extension of the Great Eastern as
now proposed, will so far effectually prevent direct
intercommunication with the trunk line of the me-
tropolitan railways and its branches that passen-
gers arriving by either of the two railways and
wishing to continue by the other will have to leave
the terminus, cross Finsbury-place, and go up or
down between 70 and 80 steps, with all the trouble,
inconvenience, and loss of time consequent there-
upon. In 1861 the Great Eastern Railway was
proposed to be extended to Finsbury-circus by a
different route from the present scheme. It was
intended to join on to the Metropolitan Railway,
and there was to have been a grand general station
in the circus for the use of both railways. That
part of the scheme which embraced a station in the
circus, with other important features, is for the
present abandoned ; but the construction of the
Eastern line as then designed is still practicable,
and would, he says, give to the public all the ac-
commodation it will have by the present scheme,
while it would in addition put the north and north-
west, the east and the south of London, into that
unbroken railway communication which appears to
him to be so desirable. Nor, he adds, can anything;
now be said against the general principles of the
Eastern Extension as proposed in 1861 for the
completion of the Metropolitan Railway, and its
great success must remove all doubts and objections
as to the extension of the system on which it is
based, and of which the public as yet have but the
slightest part of the benefits which will ultimately
accrue from its construction. This extension there-
fore seems to him to demand the most careful con-
sideration not only of the Corporation of London And
the Commissioners of Sewers, but likewise of
those railway companies which will at a future day
run trains up to Finsbury, and those sections of the
metropolis now unprovided with railway accommo-
dation, but which at some future day may be
accommodated by it ; and if an unbroken system
be, as it appears to him, a matter of importance in
relation to postal arrangements, the scheme de-
I mends the special attention of the Government.
The Metropolitan Bridge Company's Bill is to
incorporate a company with power to make five
new bridges over the river Thames—namely, from
Irongate-stairs to Horselydown, from St. Paul's-
wharf to Bankside, from the Temple Steamboat-
pier to the Commercial-road, Lambeth ; from
Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, to the Albert-road, Batter-
sea ; and from the York-road, Wandsworth, to the
King's-road, Fulham. That which immediately
affects the city is the St. Paul's-bridge, which is to
start from Paul's-wharf to span the river from that
point, and is to be for foot passengers only. The
company does not propose to take any property
within the city. The only area scheduled is a small
portion of the public way known as Paul's-wharf,
which is apparently to be used for forming steps,
or an incline, to get to the general level of the
bridge, and is not to interfere with the access of
passengers to the steamboat-pier at that spot. The
toll is to be one halfpenny per passenger, and the
bridge itself cannot, he says, be otherwise than a
public benefit if it be constructed ; and the same
may, indeed, be said of the others, while it will be
scarcely possible to overrate the convenience of a
bridge for foot passengers across the river Thames
east of the Tower of London, if it can be accom-
plished.
The Blackfriars-bridge Bill is to enable the cor-
poration to construct a new bridge in lieu of the
present one, with power to take certain property
upon both sides of the river immediately adjoining
the bridge, so as to improve the approaches. That
in the city comprises most of the property in Cha-
tham-place. The property on the western side of
Chatham-place is also scheduled by the Metropoli-
tan Board of Works for the Thames Embankment.
The Bill for the new street from Blackfriars-
bridge to the Mansion-house is promoted by the
Metropolitan Board. The Thames Embankment was
sanctioned by the Legislature during the last Ses-
sion of Parliament. It joins the city at Blackfriars-
bridge by a junction with Chatham-place, from
which point the new street is to start. The centre
line of the street, curving eastward, crosses Earl-
street, and runs parallel with it to St. Andrew's-
hill, proceeding with a slightly northern inclination
to Bennett's-hill, which it crosses at about 130 feet
north of Thames-street. It crosses Peter's-hill and
Lambeth-hill, midway between Thames-street and
Little Knightrider-street, and, curving upwards,
enters Cannon-street West by the branch laid out
by the Corporation of the City some years ago ; it
then runs straight to the north angle of Charlotte-
row, by the Mansion•house, crossing Queen-street
at the junction with Watling-street, Pancras-lane,
and Bucklersbury. The street is proposed generally
to be 70ft. wide ; that portion which was laid out
by the corporation a few years since, when they first
projected the street, and which now forms a junc-
tion street between Cannon-street West and Old
Fish-street, is to be left 60 feet in width. Powers
are to be taken to widen Upper Thames-street
from St. Andrew's-hill to within a

With respect to the property scheduled, it may be
stated generally that the whole of that on the north
of Earl-street to a distance of about 90 fret north-
wards is included; also the whole of the property
in Upper Thames-street from St. Andrew's-hill
to Old Fish-street, which lies between the north
side of Upper Thames-street and Great Knight-
rider-street, Little Knightrider-street, and Old
Fish-street. There is a considerable area of pro-
perty upon either side of the line up to the Man-
sion-house, and property having a frontage of 130
feet towards the Poultry is also included. The total
area scheduled within the limits and deviation is
19 acres and 18 perches, which includes the area of
various streets and public places.
