THE METROPOLIS ROADS.—Yesterday, at noon, a
public meeting was held by the Commissioners of the Me-
tropolis Turnpike Roads north of the Thames, at their office,
No. 22, Whitehall-place, for the purpose of letting by auction
to the best bidder, in the manner directed by Act of Par-
liament, for the term of one year, from the Ist of July next,
the various tolls comprised in the sixteen districts north of
the Thames. The Commissioners present were the Earl of
Lansdale, chaithian, who presided, and Messrs. Ashton,
Austin, Carpenter, Cox, and Holmes, with Sir J. M'Adam,
the surveyor. The room was crowded with lessees and
others interested in this description of property. The fol-
lowing are the roads, with the tolls which were let, and the
prices at which they were put up and disposed of:—The
Kensington, Brentford, and Isleworth roads, were put up
at 15,925/. ; sold for 15,9351. The Tyburn and Uxbridge
roads, 8,020/. ; went for 8,0601. The Highgate and Hamp-
stead roads, 17,010/. ; knocked down for 17,0204 The Stam-
ford-hill, Green-lanes, and Seven Sisters ;roads, 11,0201.;
bought for 11,030/. The City-road, 3,020/. ; taken for 3,030/.
The Hackney and Lee- bridge roads, 5,990/. ; bought for
6,0001. The above became the property of Messrs. Levi and
Bolton. The Harrow roads, which were put uy at 1,430/.,
went up for 1,460/., to Mr. Tame; and the Kilburn and
Edgeware roads were purchased by Mr. Hands for 4,1161.,
the set-off price being 4,1161. The whole of the districts
were let for 66,651/., being only 1311. more than the sum
asked for by the Commissioners. Three minutes were allowed
between each bidding, the Noble Chairman determining the
period by a minute time and sand-glass piece.
POLISH FRONTIERS, MAY 10.—The lamentation of
_ _

the Jews in the kingdom of Poland is boundless at this
moment, because the Government is seriously engaged in
carrying into effect a measure which the Jews have hitherto
hoped to avert, namely, to oblige them to military service.
Orders have just been received to levy the recruits in all the
governments in the course of this month, and no longer to
exempt the Jews.
