EMIGRATION TO AIFSTRALIA.

All emigrants find London the best port for embarkation to the
land of golden realities. All Emigrants have likewise found E.
MOSES & SON'S OUTFITS the most advantageous, and those who
Ty °cured them previous to their voyage, have had more comfort and
success than any of their compeers ; indeed, the benefits they have
reaped in the quality and price of the goods are said to have equalled
the most fortunate "diggings."
To supply all Emigrants with OUTFITS and CLOTHING. with
sweryotherrequisite..k. MOSES & SON keep a separate depart-
ment in these great Business Establishments, where the best and
cheapest goods can be selected by all classes now intending to
emigrate.

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesinan-like
falsehood of " Being connected with the!r Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health. which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.

PITMEN'S STRIKE AND RIOT.—On Thursday morning,
at an early hour, a serious riot took place at Wallsend
Colliery, in consequence of the refusal of the owners to
accede to an advance of wages claimed by the men.
On the previous day there was a general strike, and at
one o'clock on Thursday morning Mr. Clark, the viewer,
and Mr. Atkinson, the under viewer, accompanied by
several of the men, proceeded to the pit for the purpose

they were severely injured, Mr. Clark being cut
on the eyes and temples, and Mr. Atkinson injured
in the back. On the following day a body of police
from Newcastle were stationed at the colliery, and they
succeeded in preventing a further breach of the peace. On
Friday, 16 men consented to return to their work, and
were accompanied down the pit by the police, who pro-
tected them from the assaults of their fellow-workmen.
The remainder of the men, nearly 100 in number, still
continue on strike. It is said that about 12 months ago the
wages of the men were reduced one id. per ton, a promise
being held out that when prices improved the same
wages as heretofore would be paid. Prices having re-

THE CITY R COMPANY.
On Tuesday the ; Court of Common
Council was partieu; le following memo-
rial of the undersigned direct a of the City Railway
Terminus Company
" That their company was est blished to carry into exe-
cution a project recommended the Improvement Com-
mittee of your Council, in the m nth of December, 1845,
again recommended by the eet-valley Improvement
Committee, in January, 1852, and on both occasions ap-
proved by the Court of Common Council.
" Your memorialists learned, with regret, in Decem-
ber last, that the Improvement. Committee had entered
a dissent against the company's UM in Parliament, in f
con-
sequence of its provisions not emb cing the entire improve-
ments originally proposed, but ouch their desire to ex-
tend their undertaking in this espect was a matter of
public notoriety, your memorialists restricted the opera-
tions of the company, in its commencement, to the con-
struction of the railway north of Holborn-valley, for reasons
which they have already explained to the Improvement
Committee, and to afford an opportunity of removing the ob-
jections of those members and officers of the Corporation
who, in -1846, expressed a decided opinion, that although
railways might be allowed to enter the precincts of the
City, yet there was a line of demarcation that should not
be overstepped—a line nearly coincident with the limits of
the railway described in the plans at present submitted to
Parliament.

" Your memorialists readily availed themselves of the
invitation of the Improvement Committee to submit to
them explanations, to remove whatever doubts appeared
to embarrass their minds, and they beg to refer the Com-
mon Council to that communication. The deputation
of directors further assureclAip committee, that they
oweathi-ixerondrtaroffer aec nal explanation which
the committee might desire, to clear up any points un-
noticed in the directors communication ; but when the de-
putation expressed their desire to enter into negotiations
with the committee respecting the means by which the pro-
posed public improvements were to be carried into effect,
the chairman of the committee informed the deputation,
nn
te ee t r
t effectuallyathat the committee was not authorised to enter into any
negotiation with the company, and must not be taken
to express any views respecting the undertaking. To
ined,
and ad-
verse
for
obviate any undue haste in dealing with interests of such
importimanperee,sstioonasll,oswhoampie they ti
smetil l
b e e °
entertained,
adjusting differences of opinion by amicable negotiation,
the company's solicitor undertook to have the second read-
ing of the bill postponed (which has since been done) to the
14th of March next ; but the committee having proceeded
to a report, without this company being favoured with
any further opportunity of communicating with them,
your memorialists now beg to submit to the Common
Council such explanations of the project as they trust will
correct any mis-apprehension still existing, and they at
the same time announce their assurance, that they are pre-
pared to acquiesce in whatever provisions may be reason-
ably suggested in the bill to insure the best execution of
the present limited plan, and to guarantee its extension to
the whole design as soon as its details and the terms of co-
operation are settled and sanctioned by the Corporation.
"It is now objected to this company's project, that the
Royal Railway Commission, in 1846, recommended that
no railway then projected north of the Thames should be
permitted to come within the boundary line of the Edg-
ware-road, from Oxford-street to the New-road, and of the
New-road and City-road to Finsbury-square, and of
Bishopsgate-street, but that a railway round the metropolis
would be preferable ; first, with a view to external defence,
because it would be better to convey troops and stores
round the outside than through a populous part of the
metropolis ; secondly, because railway viaducts in crowded
situations are calculated to impede that improvement ;
thirdly, because goods and passenger stations in
narrow and crowded streets might cause obstruction to
the thoroughfares. Whether these objections applied
to the company's project, when they were at that
time suggested, need not now be discussed ; but it may
be confidently asserted, that they cannot now have the
slightest weight ; for, first, the circular railway, viz., the
East and West India Docks. and Willesden Junctions, is
nearly constructed, and will, it is hoped, be completed in
time for the military purposes for which it may be required ;
and it may be here observed that the conveyance of passen-
gers in a circle several miles broad around London will at
no time facilitate their speedy arrival at its centre ;
secondly, the projected railway, as shown in the model
open for public inspection at the company's offices, is much
below the level of the streets, and stands distinguished
from all other lines by the peculiarity of being constructed
in the only part of London where the viaduct over the
railway is of itself the greatest direct improvement
which the citizens and inhabitants of London have
long desired to see accomplished. Thirdly, the Royal
Commissioners never appear to have contemplated the dif-
ference between frequent small trains, at intervals of a few
minutes each, conveying comparatively but few pass9gers,
and the enormous trains, which reach London at long inter-
vals, bearing the traffic and passengers of several hundred
, miles, which would remain at the existing stations, sending
in only a portion for this particular locality, and that,
probably, by successive trains. But the arrangements pro-
posed by the company are not even open to objection with
the greatest extension of traffic. The stations would be at
the sides of one of the longest and widest streets in the
kingdom, with inlets and outlets in every-direction, and
much traffic which now encumbers the streets, would be
received into markets and warehouses at the sides of the
railway, beneath the street, and redistributed by the same
means.

"The Corporation, recognising those views, have not
merely discredited the Royal Commissioners' report,
in twice approving the company's project, but equally
with the Government, have entirely disregarded it,

by permitting bills to pass through Parliament, with-
out opposition, which allow the traffic of the London
and North-Western, and the Great Western, and the
Eastern Counties Railways, of the Now Tilbury, the Dock
Junction, and the North Woolwich lines, to be conveyed
altogether by a narrow railway to a narrow station in the
heart of the narrowest streets and lanes in one of the most
crowded districts of the city. A bill for another, com-
.

mencin,g under circumstances totally opposite, and most
favourable; which will relieve the city of this obstruction,
cannot, then, call for opposition, but rather for the zealous

support of the city of London. (Cheers.)'
" In recent times, the chief cities of England have been
endeavouring to correct the evils arising from the bygone
idea of keeping termini at a distance from the heart of
their cities. The Town Council of Birmingham has
co-operated to construct great stations, and to carry
great lines through the centre of the town. The Royal
Commissioners themselves seem to have doubted the
soundness of their olvn conclusions when they suggested
that, if railways should be ultimately allowed within the
circle, they prescribed it should be in continuation of street
improvements, in a manner which the company desires to
effect by its bill, and that the costs should be borne in just
proportions between the localities to be benefited and the rail-
way companies. This the directors have endeavoured to ad-
just with the advice and assistance of an architect, whose re-
port on the subject they beg to submit to the consideration
of the Common Council. It will explain the details of
the project, and elucidate the advantages which the Cor-
poration and the citizens would derive from the extensive
railway works and grand street improvements, approved
equally by themselves and the country, and advocated by
the public press. The directors of this company are not
railway speculators, but for the most part men of business,
connected with the city of London, either by corporate
accepted
who,
their having
trust at the hands of a large carefully examined into
the project,
body of their fellow-citizens. Being convinced of the
commercial l tie
advantages it would secure to the city of London, the direc-
tors desire to proceed, with all deference to the Corporation,
or
in the manner most conducive to its interests, consistently
with the obligations they owe to their shareholders, whom
they are bound to protect, and hitherto they have been
guided by what they believed to be the views and wishes of
the Corporation of London ; the directors have pledged
themselves to the shareholders not to enter into any contest
with the City, and though they
have thereby divested
their undertaking of an ordinary railway character, and
deprived themselves of much present support, which they
believe would otherwise have been accorded different mone-
tary and railway interests, they have secured a large and
sufficient subscription contract, and whenever the Corpo-
ration may relieve them of the existing state of doubt and
suspense regarding its own intentions, they feel sure of pro-
curing whatever capital may be required of them, as a
company, to meet any engagements which the City may de-
sire them to undertake. The Common Council, however, will
perceive, that a project of such detail, and so extensive as that
proposal was, must necessarily be the subject of much ne-
gotiation, carried on on both sides in a cordial spirit of co-
operation, with an earnest desire to arrive at a successful
issue, and that the directors trust that the Common Coun-
cil, adhering to their former views, will adopt the mea-
sures by which they may be speedily realised, your me-
morialists, more especially seek the early passing of their
present bill, that the company, being incorporated, may be
better able to sustain its ground in these negotiations,
whilst the work which they would then be enabled to un-
dertake, cannot retard, but must facilitate and expedite
the improvements already commenced, as well as those in
immediate contemplation, instead of a short section of a
street, for years in a state of ruin and waste, being still
left untouched, an impulse would be given to secure the
completion of works tenfold greater in the time, which may
otherwise pass away in prolonged and unprofitable dispute.
Should the Common Council, however, now recede from
its former opinions, abandon all idea of further improve-
ments, and irretrievably commit itself to a course which
will but renew and perpetuate the existing evil of Holborn-
valley, the directors will remit their trust into the hands
of the shareholders, leaving it to them to adopt their own
course, whether they dissolved the company, or, connect-
ing themselves with powerful and independent interests,
pursue a policy differing from that, by which the directors
have been guided. Such of your memorialists as are con-
nected with the Corporation will rigr
et the loss of an op-
portunity of effecting long-desired improvements, under
the most advantageous circumstances, and by the co-opera-
tion of a company recognising the superior authority, and
offering to work in due subordination of the control of the
Corporation ; but they will be freed from the respon-
sibility of leaving the City open to the attacks of those who
may be disposed to enter into a contest with it, and of those
who may by the force of powerful private and public in-
terests, repudiating alike the assistance and authority of
the Corporation, surmount its opposition. Should such a
contest arise, iewould not be forgotten that your memo-
rialists placed the interests of their company in the hands
of the Common Council, and sought its co-operation with-
out avail. But your memorialists rather rely with con-
fidence on the wisdom of the Common Council to uphold
all our consistency, and to adopt the course which will
show that improvement in the city of London is not
synonymous with the maintenance of existing evils—but
`that it keeps pace with the increasing demands of society,
to afford free access to its markets, facilities for trade, and
the greatest measure of convenience for its inhabitants, and
the public at large.
" Your memorialists, therefore, pray that the Common
Council will lie'pleased to take measures to afford the re-
quisite co-operation and support of the city of London; to
ensure the bill now before Parliament passing into law,
with such modifications as the Common Council may deem

Upon the motion of Mr. S. HALE, the chairman of the
improvement committee, the report which was brought
up the last day of meeting was read.
The CHAIRMAN of the improvement committee (Mr.
Hall), in moving the adoption of the report of the com-
mittee, said that he could plainly perceive, from the
state of public feeling upon the subject before the
Court, that nothing would be well done before the
whole of the matter as to the Fleet-valley question was
disposed of. He hoped, therefore, that they would agree
with the report, which step would tend to promote further
proceedings in that assembly. The report had been care-
fully considered by the committee, for a long time ,they
had had the subject under consideration, and they were
convinced, from all they had seen of the matter, that it
would be impossible to carry out all the views of the
projector without an immense amount of outlay, while
the proposed new street to Coppice-row might be ef-
fected with great benefit to the citizens, under the powers
of the new act of Parliament, with a much smaller ex-
penditure of capital.
The motion—" To agree with the committee in their
report," having been seconded,
Mr. DAKIN, in a speech of considerable power, sup-
ported the memorial. He instanced in the course of his
speech the many advantages which the inhabitants of
the city of London would especially receive from the
establishment of a central terminus in the locality

from some of the most eminent persons in the city, for
the insertion of which we regret we have not space. He
concluded his address amidst loud cheers, finishing with
the remark that the plan now proposed was only an instal-
ment of what was intended, it being the determination
of the promoters of the scheme to complete the whole of
the original design whenever it might be the wish of the
corporation to have it carried out. He contended, alsd,
that it was not possible for the corporation to carry out
their project as to the new street to Coppice-row upon
the low level, and that if it were ever done, a much
larger sum than that named would be necessary.
Mr. ANDERTON supported the proposition for the in-
troduction of the railway into Victoria-street. He ad
mitted that his opinions with regard to the railway ter-
mini into the City had undergone some change, but the
circumstances of the case in this instance were very dif-
ferent from the proposals some years ago, to bring the
Blackwell into Fenchurch-street and the Mineries. He

would therefore move that the report do lie on the table
Mr. ROSE seconded the amendment. He thought the
scheme before them, which appeared in the memorial of
the directors of the City Railway Terminus Company;
"in relation to the proposed opposition of the corpora-
tion to their.bili," was one of the grandest he had ever,
witnessed. He could introduce a variety of facts to
show the want of judgment on the part of the corpora-
tion on former occasions, and he thought that if they
opposed the present application, they would prove their
adhesion to antiquated prejudices to the injury of their'
fellow-citizens. He agreed with Mr. Dakin, that it
would be perfect folly for the committee to attempt to
form their extension of Victoria-street to Coppice-row
upon the low level. He gladly seconded the amend-
ment, because as they were entrusted with large funds,
on the part of the corporation, they ought to see them'
expended for the good of the citizens at large.
Deputy BENNOCH warmly advocated the plan for a
central terminus. He showed from a reference to facts
the evils which had arisen from the negleet on the part
oK corporate and other authorities in provincial towns and
cities, to the inhabitants at large, and to commerce in
particular. He instanced the fact that Manchester was
gaining largely in trade since a central terminus had been
established there--that in Nottingham, where the autho-
rities had resisted the introduction of the railway,
the population had decreased—while in conse-
quence of its having been adopted at Derby, the
numbers had increased to double the number. He also
named the important places—Leeds, Edinborough, New-
castle, and other influential cities and boroughs, in order to
show the benefits which had arisen from such a medium of
communication, when placed either in the centre of a
locality, or the heart of a town or city. If Mr. Ander-,
ton would permit him, he (Mr. Bennoch) would propose,
instead of his (Mr. Anderton's) amendment, one which
he thought would be likely to reconcile all the conflict-
ing elements in the Court upon the subject. That
amendment was as follows :—" That the report of the
ImproVement Committee be referred back to that Com-
mittee, with instructions to confer with Government on

the whole of the projected improvement in Holborn-
valley and Farringdon-street, in order to ascertain if
Government will co-operate with the Corporation in ac-
complishing the whole of the plan proposed, and that, in
the meantime, the progress of the bill now before Par-
liament be suspended."

Mr. ANDERTON readily agreed to substitute Mr.
Bennoch's amendment for his own, and begged leave to
second it.

Mr. BLAKE supported the new amendment, as did also
Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, in a speech full of power, and
replete with interesting facts.
Mr. NORRIS, on the other side, denounced the whole
of the proposal of the City Railway Terminus scheme in
unmeasured terms, and at its close he was met with
continued cheering.
At this stage of the debate,
Mr. CHARLES.GILPIN rose and said—My Lord Mayor,
I am anxious of expressing my opinion upon the matter
before the court, but I rise for the purpose of proposing
that this debate be adjourned. (Cries of " No, no.")
My lord, I have two reasons for this course. In the
first place, I believe several parties are desirous of ex-
pressing their opinions upon the subject ; and in the
second I have a more serious reason—one of our body, I
hear, has suddenly died—l mean, Mr. Lart, one of the
members for the Ward of Cripplegate Within. My lord,
I move the adjournment of the court.
Mr. DE JERSEY seconded the motion.
Carried unanimously, the numerous assembly depart-
ing from the busy scene in mournful silence.
The debate was adjourned to Thursday next.
