DUBLIN AND MEATH.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Thursday at the office, Angel-court, Throg-
morton-street--Mr. Sheppard in the chair.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, resolutions were
adopted authorising the creation of 4,000 new shares
of £lO each, to enable the company to subscribe to-
wards the capital of the Navan and Kingscourt
Railway, which was authorised in the last session of
Parliament. It was believed that the latter rail-
way would, when constructed, form a most impor-
tant extension of the Dublin and Meath line.

throughout this week between victoria and the high level
station at the Pelmo.

THE PARR-LANE IMPROVEMENT.
Major LYON moved pursuant to notice, " That it is in-
cumbent on the Board to make provision for the relief of
the traffic in Park-lane ; that Parliament be applied to in
the next session for an act for that purpose ; and that it be
referred to the Streets Committee to consider the details of
a scheme for improving and widening Park-lane." He said
that what the Board wanted was to provide some remedy
for the evil that now existed at the least possible expense.
There was no improvement in London that required so
much consideration as the question before them. The
architect ought to have as much time as possible to enable
hlm to consider the plans at present proposed. With the
exception of an old plan made by Mr. Marrablo, C.E., for
the widening of Park-lane, he did not think there was any
scheme at all practicable. There was a scheme for making
a thoroughfare through Audley-street, but that had not
received much consideration. He hoped his motion would
pass without any opposition.
Mr. WESTERTON seconded the motion.

Mr. LE BRETON said that as the Streets Committeo would
not meet until the first week in September ho would move
as an amendment that Mr. Vulliamy, the superintending
architect, be directed to make plans for the consideration of
the Board.

Mr. BrpoooD said, as a private individual living at the
west-end, he would hail with delight any plan that would
relieve the traffic in any way. He thought the question
rested between the Hamilton-place scheme and an improve-
ment at a cost of between £200,000 and £300,000. He saw
no halting-place between the two, and he was not inclined
to incur that great expense. The Board had been most
anxious to open up Hamilton-place, but Government and
Parliament stood in the way. If Hamilton-place were
opened, all difficulty would be at an and.
Mr. MILLER, M.P., said the estimate for widening Park-
lane laid before Parliament was £104,000, out of which
£6,000 was estimated for Glocester-house, at the corner. Ho
considered that the Park-lane plan was the best to adopt.
Mr. NEWTON said ho was glad this subject had been taken
up by the members for St. George's, Hanover-square. He
considered that this was a local improvement, and ho hoped
that Major Lyon would, as they would bo separated for six
weeks, consult his vestry (St. George's, Hanover-square) as
to how much they would pay towards the expense. (Laugh-
ter and cheers.)
In answer to Mr. Bidgood, Major Lyon said the Gov@rn-
ment would clear the way as far as the Marble Arch.
Mr. HEALEY said the representatives of the richest parish

in London (St. George's) said their vestry was not inclined
to contribute anything towards the improvement. There
were many places in London which required improvement
more than Park-lane, and he saw no reason why tho Board
should incur the expense of going to Parliament for such
a scheme.
Some amendment was made to the motion.

The CHAIRMAN said by the words of the motion, as it
appeared in its amended form, the committee and the archi-
tect would be confined to the widening of Park-lane. Ho
thought it would be better if it was written " for the re-
lieving of Park-lane ;" it would then be open.
After some further discussion, Major Lyon's motion was
put and carried.
