THE CENTRAL CITY RAILWAY TERMINUS.

Last night a meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of
Farringdon Without, over which Sir James Duke, al-
derman, M.P. presided, was held in the Sessions-house
of the Old Bailey, to consider the propriety of presenting
a petition to the corporation of the City of London, in
favour of the !projected City Railway Terminus in Vic-
toria-street. Mr. Kirk proposed the following resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. Herapath and carried :

" That this meeting expresses its strong conviction of
the utility and advantages that will necessarily arise to the
city generally, and to this neighbourhood especially, by
the introduction of the contemplated City Central Rail-
way Terminus into Victoria-street, north of Holborn-hill.
That the proposed plan, if carried out, will be of the high-
est and most lasting benefit to tho inhabitants in a com-
mercial, sanitary, and social view, and this meeting ear-
nestly recommends it to the favourable consideration of the
corporation of the city of London."
Another resolution, moved by Mr. Rossiter, and se-
conded by Mr. Burbidge, was to the following effect :

" That this meeting observes with surprise and regret
the opposition offered by the Improvement Committee in
its recent report presented to the Court of Common Coun-
cil to the bill before Parliament, for the formation of a
Trunk Railway and Central City Terminus, and requests
the representatives of this Ward in the Court of Common
Council to use their best endeavours to prevent further
opposition to the measure."
Mr. Bethel then moved, and Mr. Lusher seconded the
adoption of a memorial to the Court of Common Coun-
cil on the subject. The resolutions were ordered to be
advertised in the daily papers, and the proceedings ter-
minated by a vote of thanks to the chairman.
