tint authorities—namely, of the Lord Mayor anal Cdr•
poration of the City of London, as conservators of the
navigation of the river, on the one side ; and the Admi-
ralty, as the representatives of the Crown, on the other.
But the first object was that the plan should be investi-
gated by a Committee, and obtain their sanction;
The LORD MAYOR suggested that a printed statement,
explaining the nature or the plan, and stating the ex-
pense, should be circulated amongst the owners bf pre-
mises on the water side, and others who were practically
acquainted with the navigation of the river.
The Duke of Yoart highly approved of the suggestion
of the Lord Mayor, that an explanation of the plan
should be printed and circulated. The statement ap-
peared to him perfectly satisfactory.
The Duke of RUTLAND rose, and said, that in com-
mon with every person present, he felt highly gratified
by the project which had been so ably stated to them by
Colonel Trench ; and feeling convinced that if it should
be foond practicable, it would at once give to this city
the character for splendour and magnificenie, to which,
as the metropolis of this great empire, she was justly
entitled among the capitals of the world, he would
not further detain the Meeting, but as an earnest of his
opinion, he now moved the first Resolution, which ex-
pressed the approval of the plan by the Meeting ; and
their confidence, that if the difficulti, s attending it could
be surmounted, it would add to the beauty and conve-
nience of the capital.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER seconded the
motion, which was carried unanimothly;
Lord RossLybr moved the Res, lotion for the appoint-
ment of a Committee, consisting of the folldwing mem-
bers, to investigate its practicability--
His Royal Highness the Duke of York, the Duke of Rutland,
his Royal Highness the Prince Leopold, the Duke of Wellington,
Sir E. Lang, the Right Hon. T. Wallace; 11. Bankes, Esq. Right
Hon. W. Huskisson, Sir James Mackinttish, Sir R. Inglis, J. Irving,
Esq. Alex. Baring, Fsq. the Earl of Carysfort, the Earl of Roselyn,
Lord Palmerston, the Right the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, the lion. G Agar Ellis; Ridley Colborne, Esq. M.P. Hon.
G. Cockburn, It. *esq. M.P. Sir H. Hardinge, M.P. Lord
Lowther, Lord Gordon,
LlTer•gool, Right Hon. R. Peel, the Earl of Har.
rowby, Lord Berity, E. Giant, Esq. M.P. the Lord Mayor, Al-
derman Wood., Alderman Garratt, Alderman Thompson, R. Slade.
Fsq. J. Emelt, Esq. Ledger, Esq. Routh, Esq. —.
Griffith, insq. R. Ben, Esq.
Lord PALMERSTON seconded the motion.
The LORD MAYOR objected to his own name being
placed on the list, and it was the wish of his brother
Aldermen to have their names withdrawn.

Mr. AoAir aids said, that as a mat k of respect the
names of the Lord Mayor and the other members of the
Corporation who had attended the Mee►ing, should be
retained in the list.
The LORD MAYOR begged to be understood, that
himself and the other Alembers of the CorporAtion, in
their official capacity, gave no opinion %hatever on the
measure. Colonel Trench had submitted the plan to
him as Conservator of the River, and he had called to
hear it a number of Gentlemen whom he conceived were
best acquainted with the navigation and trade of the
river, and thay came now to hear a Rather eiplanation.
The conservancy of it wat vested in the Lord Mayor for
the time being, and in the Corporation. As members
of that body to whom the plan must hereafter be neces-
sarily submitted, in order that their consent might be
obtained, it would be inconsistent to act on the Corn.
mittee which would have to memorialise the Lord
Mayor and the Corporation.
Alderman WOOD and Mr. FAVELL concurred In this
opinion. Their names were therefore withdrawn, and
the Resolution was agreed to in an altered form.
The barge was then unnsoored, and rowed as far as
the Southwark bridge. The company went out on the
roof, and inspected the site of the intended work as they
passed. At about five o'clock they landed.

SPORTING /N 2 ELLIGENCE,
BETTING-ROOM, WiIIiMRSALL'S, JULY 19.
We are happy to announce that the business of to-day went off
with that unanimity which generally does and always ought to pre.
vail on the settlement of bets after a great race. This wai settling-
day for the July and other Stakes at Newmarket last week; and
although. very heavy sums changed mastera, everything went off
comfortably. The Room was crowded to excess; in fact, the heat
of the weather drove nearly all the members into the yard, when
some brisk betting began on the St. Leger, and Derby (162.5).

MONTHLY CRITICAL GAZETTE.
THE THIRD NUMBER of this Work is in forwardness at
press, and will be peblitised with the other Periodicals on the erase
or Ammer, and may be had of all the Booksellers in the United
Kingdom.
It. will contain full arld interesting Analyses of every New Pub-
lication which appeared in the month of Awe, just as No. I and 2
contained the ISO New Works of April and May.
The Conductors deeply lament, that owing to
eircumqtarres
which cannot be stated at convenient length In a public advettise-
rnt nt, many Country Booksellers and their friends have been di.-
appointed in the receipt of the two first Numbers of this Work.
Timm circumstances will be detailed at length in the third Number,
not for purposes of erimination, but of self-justification.
The plan of this Work is altogether new and original, and its
execution has so powerfully excited public attention, as in great
measure to have created those obatruetions, and even muittatiorof
of which the 'Amory World aid the Proration, hove so mask
restos to complain.---.Gentleis, Jot IN
