LONDON BRIDGE.

Mr. Ormuitm said, he held in his hand a Peti-
tition which originated in an assertion made by a
Worthy Alderman on the Bench (Alderman
Wood,) at the last Court, that a toll of 2d. per
ton would be cheerfully paid by the owners of the
craft going under the bridge. It was the petition
of a number of extensive proprietors of coal and
corn craft, who were the most interested on the
subject.
The Petition was read. It stated, that two
additional arches would be quite sufficient to
satisfy the Petitioners. But that they would
resist any attempt to impose the imposition of a
toll which would be so unequal and so oppressive
in its effects as that proposed of 2d. per ton.
Mr. DAVY, one of the Petitioners, who attend-
ed below the bar, addressed the Court in support
of the Petition.

After some observations on the Petition by
Alderman Wood (who treated it as au ex-parte
statement, which ought to have no weight with
the Court) Mr. Dixon, Mr. Favell, and several
other Members, Mr. Oldham moved that the
Petition should lie on the table, and that the ad-
journed debate should be now resumed.—The
debate was opened by Mr. CLARK, who com-
mented at considerable length upon the speech
of Alderman Wood, and concluded by saying
that he could not for one consent to tax his fel-
low-citizens to the extent contended for by those
who wished to have a new bridge, without better
evidence were given of the necessity of it, or its
expediency.
Mr. TAYLOR was decidedly of opinion that
London-bridge was sufficiently stable to last for
centuries; and he would have the venerable
fabric preserved even as a thing of taste or a relic
of antiquity, and as a monument of the skill of
the priests of the 13th century.
Mr. Alderman GARRATT, as the Alderman of
the Ward of Bridge, which was the one mainly
concerned in the project, and as the Chairman of
the Committee appointed to watch the proceed-
ings upon the matter in the House of Commons,
entered at considerable length into the items of
the expellees that would be incurred ; and con-
cluded by giving his opinion that a new bridge
was in every way preferable to the patching up
the old one.

Mr. Alderman VENABLES was of opinion that
widening the arches would answer every purpose.
Mr. Deputy LUCAS said, that property had
been lost during the last forty years, in conse-
quence of the structure of the bridge, which
would have paid twice over for its being rebuilt.
He was decidedly of opinion, that as the star-
lings were to be retained in the proposed half-
measure, but little good would be done by it, as
much of the damage and risk in going through the
bridge would remain. He was, therefore, in fa-
vour of a new bridge.

Mr. GALLOWAY was convinced that the water-
way might be so materially widened as to answer
all the purposes to be required from a new bridge.
Mr. CALTHORPE supported the amended motion.
Mr. JUPP was for the repair of the present bridge,
even if such repairs were not to last more than
20 or 30 years. Mr. DARNFORD was persuaded
of the stability of the bridge.
Mr. OLDHAM was of opinion, that if the House
of Commons were determined upon a new bridge,
the City Funds should be given up to them, and
that, with the disposal of them, the whole re-
sponsibility should be given. By the removal
of the dam which the present bridge formed,
more damage might be done in one night, and
more property destroyed, than would build six
new bridges ; but, by the measure which he
supported, every thing would be done step by
step, with the power of first trying the experi-
ment before they put it in full execution.
Mr. Alderman WOOD pledged himself that the
interest of the money to be raised to build a new
bridge might be paid from the funds of the
Bridge House Estate ; and also that from these
funds the principal itself would be paid in thirty
years. _ _

After some further observations, the Resolu-
tions were put, when those proposed by Mr.
Oldham, for altering and repairing the present
bridge, were carried by a considerable majority.
