Mi. &menses brought op a Report from the Com-
mittee for General Purposes, stating. that having taken
the present dilapidated state of Blackfriars• bridge in o
ecoosideralion, the Committee recommended that notices
should be served of an intended application to Parlia-
ment, next Session, for a Bill to raise the sums necessary
'for *impairs of said bridge.
Alderman Limes said, that such was the very dilapi-
dated state of the piers of the bridge, that many persons
quite competent to form an opinion bad declared, that
should the approachintwieter prove severe, some of the
piUsts at the ends of the piers would come down. He
knew that at the present moment, while other improve-
ments on so extensive a scale were going on in the City,
it would be difficult to prevail on Parliament to enable
the City to raise more money ;.but still the state of the
bridge was such that it most call for the attention
of the Court before long, 'Mid the sooner the re-
pairs were undertakes, the less expensive were they
likely to be.

PARISH OF MARY•LA•BONNE.

BATTLE ROYAL AT A EURLIC MIR TING.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a Meeting was held at
the Auction Rooms of Mr. DAWKINS, pursuant to ad-
vertisement, for the porpoise( liking intocoasidetation
the proceedings of the Sdett Vestry of this extendee
parish, and other matters connected with the expenditine
of the parochial funds. '
Mr. RICHARD HARTLIT, of 'Cavendish-street, took
the Chair. He said the object of calling the Meeting
was one of considerable importahei, as it involved a
question of right, as to whether the parishimiers could
meet generally to consider of the conduct of the Select
Vestry ? The circular which had been seut forth, call-
ing this Meeting, had been arrangestby a few Gentle.
men, who thought 'that no bad result could happen
from an loge ry which it. was purposed to make into
the real state of the parish funds. Upon a former oc-
casion some good had been done by calling a publte
meeting of the inhabitants, because their petition to the
Houses of Patnament upon. that occasion had checked,
indeed prevented, an innovation of a most dangerous
kind—(Hear), and had• been the means of obtaining
some very useful information as to the disposal el
their money. The object now was, by a reasonable and
legal mode of proceeding, to inquire whether the Se-
lect Vestry had made any reduction in the poets' rate,
or were less lavish of their money ? He did not mew
to insinuate that the Vestry were doing or had done any
intentional wrong.; but' the Oat end the wisest were
alike liable to error, and to correct that error was tbit
wish of the Gentlemen who had prepared the eirtuleflo
