Wilson and others, which was an application for e;

A keeper of a second-band clothes-shop, in crook

PUBLIC MEETING AT MARGATE.-

STEAM-BOATS.

•„4 very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of
Vrgate, Ramsgate, and others, was held at the
-rve-hall of Margate, on Wednesday afternoon,
ot. the purpose of considering what measures should
be adopted to obtain a more efficient communication
between the metropolis and the places just menti-
oned.

COl3ll Esq., the deputy of Margate, in the
Dr. %YARN,Is, chief pier commissioner, said that
nothing but a sense of public duty had induced him
.to attend that day, and he begged to call the serious
,attention to the objects for which the meeting was
,trivened. The existing coalition between the
`7lllrgate steam-beat proprietors tended to render the
usage
between London and Margate any thing
t what it ought to be, the passengers, owing to
theti limited number of vessels starting, being packed
"ore like negroes in a slave-ship than any thing else.
.tols7 this Want of accommodation the interests of the
-" of Margate were injured, especially as the
steam-boat proprietors landed their passengers,
..
hen thought fit, at Ramsgate, to get an additional
e out of their pockets. He deprecated the corn-
'
h 'natio; and suggested that if the inhabitants raised
,118officient sum they could annihilate the combine-
, and, by establishing Margate steam-boats, do
e town Incalculable good, as they would have the
;ecniveyance under their own control. Another evil
.as the length of time now occupied in the voyage,
11° that passengers were obliged to take three meals
board, the boats being, in fact, swimming hotels,
without being subject to innkeepers' expenses or
,testrietions although it was intended by Mr. Peel
ti) have placed them on the same footing.
Mi. T. COBB said, that in consequence of the
t'resent coalition, the number of visiters to Margate
d greatly fallen off, as compared with former years.
e Thought the coalition was dangerous to the inte-
tfitl of the place.
cMr..HALE, of Broadstairs, hoped the inhabitants
i°-Breadstairs and Ramsgate would be allowed to
I,,Preteipate in the advantages held out.
. :edmmittee was then appointed, and a subscrip-
el?! of 2,3001. entered into towards the formation
fend for establishing steam-boats to run between
oadon;and Margate.
Itulh g anks were given to the Chairman, and the
eetiD Separated.
