THE REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY
(THIS DAY.)
MEETING OF OPPONENTS.

To-day, at half-past twelve o'clock, a meeting of inha-
bitants, owners of, and other persons interested in, residences,
wharves, and other property adjacent to, and in the vicinity
of, that portion of the Regent's Canal bounding the Regent's-
park, was held at the York and Albany Tavern, Gloucester-
gate, Regent's-park, "to consider and determine," as the ad-
vertisement set forth, "upon the most effective and decided
opposition to the above railway recently proposed to be sub-
stituted for the canal."
The meeting. a very full and respectable one, was pre-
sided over by Mr. R. Cumberland.
The advertisement calling the meeting, with the pro-
spectus of the Regent's Canal Railway Company, were
then read.
Mr. DENTON, the secretary of the meeting, said the busi-
ness being fully set forth in the advertisement, he should be
happy to hear any observations on the business advanced
by the gentleman who were present.
The CHAIRMAN intimated that ke would be very glad to
hear the sentiments of the meeting. It appeared from the
prospectus of the Company that the idea of compensation to
the residents on the banks of the canal had not. been con-
sidered, and hence he thought it was necessary they should
take measures to protect . their interests. It was the
usual course for railway companies in making a line, to grant
compensation, but in the present instance there appeared to
be no intention of such being done.
Mr. STANLEY took the liberty of saying a few words,
as one of the oldest residents in the neighbourhood. The
question for the meeting to consider was, not so much
an opposition to the construction of a line of railway
as one of eompensatioa to themselves. They might depend
upon it, that if the Government and the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests decided in favour of the construction of
the line, their opposition would go fur nothing; but if those
parties acted otherwise, then their objections would be alto-
gether useless. He considered, therefore, they should confine
themselves, entirely to the damage that was likely to be done
to their own property. Park Village, where he resided,
was one of the places that was likely to surfer the most
from the construction of the railway. Still, he was
against anything in the shape of a general opposition to the
line. He, for one, was of opinion that the railway, in many
respects, would be a benefit to the neighbourhood. It would,
he believed, enable them to be supplied with coals from the
Midland Counties at a much cheaper rate than they could
be abtained from the port of London. Besides, by the line,
and the construction of a central terminus, they would get
rid of the greatest nuisance at present in the locality, the
Camden station. They should, therefore, consider the ques-
tion of compensation alone.

After a pause, Mr. STANLEY said that a resolution had
just been put into his hand which he considered quite in
agreement with the views he had expressed; he would there-
fore propose it. It was, " That this meeting having consi-
dered the project of converting the Regent's-canal into a
railway, and the effect of that project, if carried into execution
upon the various houses, wharves, buildings, and premises,
commercial and ornamental, along its banks, is of opinion
that no measure could be more- prejudicial to the various in-
terests of owner, lessee, and occupier than the conversion of
the present waterway into a railway."
The motion being seconded,
Mr. GREENHOW wished to know if any communication
bad been made to the officers of the Railway Company to
elicit their sentiments on the subject of compensation. If so,
he should be very glad to hear the result.
Mr. DENTON intimated that such a course had not yet been
taken.

Mr. GREENHOW said, if there was no satisfactory prospect
cf justice being done the proprietors, he would recommend
each tenant under the Crown to write to the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests. It appeared to him quite certain that
if the Crown was against the conversion, it could not take
place, as a Bill could not be introduced into Par-
liament without its consent. It was therefore one of the
cheapest, and he believed one of the most effectual ways
of opposing the project, namely, the writing individually,
and protesting against it to the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests.

11r. DANIILL, churchwarden of the parish of St. Maryle-
bone, said he had attended the present meeting simply to
watch the proceedings. lie might state that the parish had
an extensive dock on the conal, which the proposed railway
would seriously injure. Its construction in this respect would
be a loSs to the parish of 1,2007. yearly.
After some further discussion, Mr. YATES wished to give
his opinion against the course recommended, as he believed
the conversion of the canal into a railway would be a great
benefit to the locality.
An objection was here taken to Mr. Yates being heard, on
the ground that he was not a resident in the locality, and
the question was put to the meeting, when, on a show of
hands, it was decided by a large majority that he should be
allowed to proceed.
Mr. YATES contended that no injury would be done to their
property by the- construction of the railway. He therefore
thought they were taking a very impolitic course. Assum-
ing, howeVer, that damage would be done, he considered they
should have first consulted with the Directors, instead of
flying in the face, as they were proposing, of a powerful
body like the railway company. He did not agree with Mr.
Daniel that the railway would cause a loss of 1,200/. a year
to the parish of Marylehone, but rather, he was of opinion,
it would be 1,2001. gain. The railway would be a great
benefit, and therefore he proposed as an amendment that a
deputation off ur or six persons, from the present meeting,
be appointed to meet the Directors of the Railway Company,
to discuss the question of compensation.
HEywooD considered such a course most advisable,
and would therefore second the ainendment.

"The amendment on being put was negatived by a large
majority, ancl.the original resolution carried, with but four
dissentients.

After a vote of censure on the proprietors of the Canal for
agreeing to sell it to the Railway Company, without consult-
ing the feelings and interests of the proprietors on its banks,
and the appointmen`, of a committee to carry out the objects
set forth in the resolutions, the meeting separated.

poses, and 41s. 6d to 41s. Pd. have been taken for fine New
