ROAD 1,11031 WATERLOO-BRIDGE TO TIIE (78X CM.
—Thursday evening a public Meeting of the Inhabitant
Householders of the Parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden,
was held in the rooms of Mr. G. Robins, for the purpose
of taking into consideration whether it would not be to
the interest of the Parish to petition Parliament to sanc-
tion the proposed communication from Waterloo-Bridge
to the northern parts of the metropolis. The project I
appeared to be favourably entertained by every per-
son who attended the Meeting, except those whose
houses are situated in Brydges-street and Catherine-1
street, and who opposed it on the ground that so
much traffic would not take place in those streets
when the new street was formed. Looking at the li
measure in a pecuniary point of view, it was stated
that the Parish would be great gainers by the alteration.
The houses which must come down produced about
4001. a year ; and those which would be erected in
their stead would return at least 10001. so that the pa-
rochial funds would be increased to the extent of 6001.
a year. Mr. Beasley, the architect, said his Majesty's
Ministers, the Commissioners of Woods sad Fu
rests, the Duke of Bedford, and the Marquess of
Exeter, were strongly in favour of the measure. The
Duke of Bedford had consented to forego the ground
rents ; he had estimated that it would require 70,0001. to
accomplish the object, but it was thought that about
43,0001. would be sufficient to effect all that was at pre-
sent necessary to be done. After some discussion it was
agreed to present a Petition to Parliament ou the sub-
ject, praying that power might be given to carry the
contemplated improvements into effect.
Wednesday evening the coachman of Lord Mount-
charles, in Grosveuor-square, was putting tne horses to
the can iage at the stable, when one of them, a noble and
spirited animal, suddenly started out of the Mews with
his harness on, and proceeded up Upper Grosvenor-street,
increasing his speed, from the traces striking his legs,
until lie arrived at the corner of Park-lane. A gentle-
man, 'I
accompanied by a lady and child, in a gig, was at
the instant turning into Upper Grosvenor-street, which
providentially the animal avoided, and galloped on to the
foot pavement, where two ladies were walking arm-in-
arm. The animal tell within two feet of the ladies, with
such treinendous force as, to all appearance, to deprive
him of existence, as he remained in a motionless state for
the space of ten minutes. After some tune the horse
was so far recovered as to be enabled to be led to the
efahlee, much injured from the effects of the fall. Had
nut the iminial fallen at the moment it did, the ladies
Lmust have been killed on the spot. Nu blame% attached
to the. conebtuste.
