COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
This Court was specially summoned on Monday, to consider
a report of the Sub-Committee, to whom was referred the con-
sideration of the proposition by the North Kent Railway
Company, to continue that railway from its general terminus
in Union-street in the Borough, across the Southwark-bridge,
to a passenger station in Queen-street-place.
From the statements of the report and in a petition from the
Railway Company, it appeared that the North Kent Railway
is a scheme for snpplying all the towns and important public
establishments in the northern parts of that county with rail-
way communication. The general terminus is proposed to be
in the Borough, at the foo►, of Southwark-bridge. to proceed
thence, by Peckham, to New-cross, and on to Woolwich, by
Charlton, the main line con'inuing by Gravesend. Chatham,
Rochester, Faversham, Canterbury, Deal, and Dover, with
branches to Maidstone and Sheerness.
In addition to the general Bill for these purposes, the Pro-
visional Committee, it appears, had purchased eonditienally the
Southwark-bridge for 300,0001., and had brought in a sup-
plementary Bill for continuing the railway across the bridge
to Queen-street, for the further accommodation of passengers.
The Parliamentary Committee of the Corporation, it ap-
peared from the discussion, had at first agreed to clauses
with the Railway Company, by which the bridge was to be
kept open for passenger 4 ; that the toll was not to be increased ;
and that sufficient accommodation should be provided for the
standing of coaches and carts.
The Company, by their petition, again offered similar
clauses. The Sub-Committee, to which this matter was fur-
ther referred at the last Court of Common Council, reported
that it ought to be opposed, on the ground that it would be
inconvenient to the traffic of the streets so to increase the
traffic.

The discussion that followed was very warm. The prin-
cipal speakers in support of the general principles of the mea-
sure, were—Mr. R. L. Jones, Mr. Laurence, Mr. Wire. Sir
Chapman Marshall, Mr. Richard Taylor, and Mr. Anuerton ;
and they were principally opposed by Mr. Coruey, Mr. Wall,
Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Lott.
