BATTERSEA PARK.

Last evening a meeting of the clergy, . parish
officers, and other inhabitants of Lambeth, Newington,
Clapham, Battersea, &c., was held in the Vestry-ball,
Church-street, Latnbrth, to consider and determine
on the necessary arrangements to petition Parliament,
and take such steps as may he deemed expedient to urge
the Government and the Commissioners of her Ma-
jesty's Woods and Foresta to carry into effect, without
further delay, the Act of Parliament for forming a
royal park at Battersea-fields.
The Rev. C. B. Dalton, M.A.., rector of St. Mary,
Lambeth, presided.
Mr. R. .FORRIST moved the following resolution :
" That with reference to the wants of the southern
district of the metropolis, in the year 1846 an Act
of Parliament was passed founded upon the recom-
mendation of the Commissioners of Metropolis Im-
provements, authorising and directing the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Woods, &c., to
royalpow e raps
or

Batterseamoryths,at
raise
said Commissioners to purchase landa was limited
to five years, four of which have nearly ex"
pired ; that but a small portion of the land has
hitherto been purchased, and no commencement
whatever towards the formation of said park has been
made; that during the continued delay in carrying
into effect the Act of Parliament, the site of the in-
tended park has become the resort of the dissolute
and depraved of the metropolis, and particularly on
Sundays ; that the population of the district has gone
on increasing, and according to the estimate of the
R..,gi4trar-General, was computed in June last
585,047 inhabitants, a large proportion ofwim
of the labouring classes, and are
afforded to
the
classes of the
means of healthful recreation, as
by the vari-
classes in other parts of the ule,ttreo‘poant
d that the un-
ous public parks in their loc.anitiot

the part of the inhabitants,should
induce their exertion, to

nd the Commissioners to adopt

more active proceedings, a
forthwith."
Mr. PutLurs seconded the resolution.
Omer resolutions in accordance with the objects of
the eeting were put and carried, after which the
meeting separated.
