MEETING OF •NIS ,MAJESTY'S MINISTERS,
AND A DEPUTATION FROM THE CORPORATION
dr LONDON, RELATIVE TO LONDON BRIDGE.

Yesterday a Deputation from the Corporation of
London went to the Duke of Wellington's residence, in
Downing-street, by appointment, in order to discuss the
subject of the approaches to London Bridge.

Thera were present,besides the Duke of Wellington, Lord Mel. 1
•ille, Sir George Cockburn, Mr. Herries, and the Chancellor of
the Exchequer.
The Deputation consisted of Alderman Wood, Mr. Routh, Mr.
Jones, the Chairman of the Bridge Committee, Mr. Tickner, Mr.
Locke, Mr. Rennie, the engineer, and Mr. Newman, the comp-
troller of the Bridge-house estates.
The arrangements and the conversation which took place upon
the subject were of the most satisfactory description.

The Duke of WELLINGTON examined the plan upon
which the Members of the Committee at Guildhall had
agreed as the most. eligible, with a great deal of atten-
tion, and his Grace appeared to be perfectly conversant
with the numerous complicated details. He said that
it was his most anxious wish that the approaches should
correspond with the magnificent structure which had
been raised, and that the main approach on each side
should be so wide as to prevent the possibility of any.
even the slightest, obstruction to the passage of vehicle•
of all desctiptions. He thought that the opposite
houses should be distant from each other about 70 feet,
and that the pavement on each side should be 10 feet
wide. Tnis width of approach would prevent the in-
convenience so often resulting in the narrow passages
to the old bridge, from 'the stopping of carriages at
sh ps. The pavement on each side of the bridge, he
considered, should he nine feet wide. •
TM. was in exact accordance with Mr. Reanie's plan.

The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed the greatest
anxiety that the approaches to the new bridge should be
perfected with all possible expedition. He meant the
main approaches—that from Gracechnich.street. And
that•from Tooley-street, on the Borough side ; for as to
the branch approaches, he thought it -advisable to poit-
pone the deliberation with respect to them until the
public should have some experience of the effect of the
plan to which the Government and the Committee now
were giving their sanction. The great object at this
moment was to abandon the old bridge as speedily as
could be, for which purpose•it would be necessary to
commence operations at the arches to be raised on both
sides of the river.

It was the opinion of Mr. Rennie, when he gave evi-
dence before Parliament on the subject of old London- ,
bridge, that that building was very insecure. In fact. ,
he declared that he could not answer for its standing
twelve months longer. The appearance of the crazy
old•structure, from the water or from the new bridge,
favours this suspicion. of its instability. It is believed ,
that the Duke of Wellington has apprehensions of this
sort very strongly upon his mind, for he refer red several
times during the conversation to the necessity.—the
paramount necessity—of pulling down the old stones.
The Committee thought that the main approaches, the
extent and direction of which were pointed out by the
Duke of Wellington, according to their plan, would be
completed within twelve months, so that the public
may look with certainty to the commencement of the
operations of trade over the new bridge next June. The
object of the Duke in suggesting that the branch ap-
proaches should form matter for future deliberation is,
we have reason to believe, that encouragement should
soot be given to the extravagant demands of Aim owners
of premise, who, it is suspected, stay be still disposed
to overrate goodwill, &c. notwithstanding the stagger-
ing checks which Juries have given them on bpth sides
cf the water..
• The. Duke of WELLINGTON urged the propriety of
begtoning at the two arches immediately. lie declared
that the Government hoped to see approaches worthy
of the-grand structure, and he hinted that the Comnsitiee
who were to supetir.tend the buildings would not be
instated in acting upon any other than a grand scale,
coriespood.ng with the bridge, however formidable the
expense might appear to be at the outset.
Lord MELVILLE and Sir GEORGE COCKBURN seemed
to take great interest in the subject, and put several
questions to the engineer, who answeied every thing sa-
tisfactorily. In the course of the conversation, the Duke
of Wellington expressed his surprise at a ter y gross
and ridiculous mis statement which had gone abroad—
that h:s Majesty's Government and the CcopOration of
London were at variance upon the subject at present
under deliberation. Nothing could be more erro-
neous, stupid, or unfounded. There was no disagree-
ment; on the contrary. the most perfect understanding
existed. They went hand in hand in this great work,
and it would no doubt be completed most prosperously.
The Committee ha tsthe Bill, and were to int it into
operation themselves. His Grace signified his intention
to go to examine the projected branch approaches, par-
veto:say those about tootry street, in a few days, at
the period of the greatest contusion of business, in
inclet to form an estimate of the meriti of the plan of
details. He has already visited at the quiet time. but
did not think the hour of tranquillity at all a criterion.
It i. believed that one of the great projects of the
Committee (and &magnificent one it is), that of opening
zit aperoach up to the Bank, will be Adopted; but some
.time boo' e that shall be determined upon,. the Bridge,
will itseft be opened to the public.
The Committee left Dowoing-strett fully gratified
at tt.e ardent interest which those members of the Go-
vernment took on the occasion. should the City of
London be disposed at any future period to borrow
money of Government in pursuance of this great object,
tio doubt is entertained that a loan wchild• be• at Bence
waisted, and 'under the most advatitageoifs tirculn-
stances. A Court of Common Council is to be Unit-
with summoned, and contracts will be immediately
taken for the necessary materials for the arChei;
will be commenced with as little delay as poilible.
