HAMPSTEAD HEATII.-DEPUTATION
TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Yesterday, a meeting of deputations from the
northern metropolitan parishes took place at the
Marylebone Court-house, for the purpose of taking
measures for a determined opposition to the
Amended Leases and Sales of Settled Ltates' Bill,
having for its object the removal of the clause from
the act of last session, which prohibits persons in
the position of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson from
letting land for building purposes on places like
Hampstead Heath. 31r. T. D'lffanger occupied the
chair.
Mr. TURNER, representative for Hampstead,
said their first step must be to prevent the repeal
of the clause in the Leases and Sales of Settled
Estates Bill of last session, which Would give Sir
T. M. Wilson the power to build over Hampstead
Heath. With a view to effect that object, he begged
to move the appointment of a deputation to wait
upon Sir B. Hall to ask his influence with the Go-
vernment and Parliament to prevent the proposed
measure passing.
After some discussion on the point, the resolu-
tion was carried.
The ttev. R. &KETT moved the second resolu-
tion, to the effect, "That it was desirable that the
Metropolitan Board of Works should enter into
correspondence with Sir T. M. Wilson, to ascertain
on what terms he will sell his right, and the re-
mainder, as to Hampstead Reath, and the conti-
guous lands mentioned in the report of the Metro-
politan Board Gf Works, so as to secure the same
for the benefit of the public."
Mr. CAMERON seconded this resolution.
Mr. FREETH said that he had that morning seen
Sir' B. Hall, and he expressed to him his apprehen-
sion that the proposed alteration of the Leases and
Sales of Settled Estates Act would pass, as they
would not allow the people of the metropolis to be
like the dog in the manger, neither take the Heath
themselves, nor allow the owner to make use of it.
The people were wofully mistaken in supposing
that the Heath was their own. Mr. Freer suggested
the holding of a monster 'meeting on Hampstead-
heath, on Monday evening next. (Hear.)
The resolution was carried unanimously, and a
deputation appointed, to whom the other matters
were also referred. •

.
The meeting separated, after urging the metro-
politan parishes at once to petition Parliament
against the proposed alteration in the Leases and
Sales of Settled Estates Bill.

THE RAILWAY CAB QUESTION.-Last evening a general
meeting of the hackney carriage proprietors was held at
the Cranbourne Hotel, St. Martin's-lane, for the purpose
of adopting such means as may be deem expedient for
the total abolition of railway privileges, thereby improv-
ing the condition of their horses and carriages, and de.
creasing the transit of traffic throughout the metropolis
The meeting was adjourned till next Wednesday, July
1, at eight o'clock, for the further consideration of tLe
oubjeot.
