On our re-admission we found Mr. WeARTON
making some observations relative to the new cbinmu-
nication intended to be opened between die Regent's
Pdrk and Carlton I louse. • The street was oat Wended
to Vella Straight line ; the general plan, be saidores
a good. ono, and he . bard the Bosse , would ap-
prove of it, so far as private interests were concern-
ed. Pot his own part, ,fie` had heard' nodgd4d; olt
jections to it:- The .public utility of. it also Ywould
be.considerible.. That part of- the grounds, through.
hick it Wlkll,,to, be carried, which uow.belooged to
the Crown,..was not worth more thito 4,5001. a-year ;
and upon, the new plan it would be about 320001.
it-year, Which would be a considerable improvement
of the reveinie of the Crown.' For thr execution
of the plait it was necessary•thet 765 konses,should
come down, 449 of which belonged to the Crown at
present.. The completion •of the work, it was cal-.
culated, would cost about 330,0001. which tibia
the Insurance OffiCes had already offered to advance..
The amount of the interest of. this suni, at .5 fief
cent., Would be about 16,0001. a-year, leaving a
yearly surplus of 15,0001. which, if converted into
a Sinking Fund, would redeem the original debt la.
aisteeit years, after which the Crown •wotdd have
32,0Q04 instead of 4,5001. a-year. lie then moved
for leave to bring in a Bill for making a more con-
venient communication between the North side of ;the
Metropolis, through the parish of Mary-le-bone, and
Charing-cross, and the city of Westudaster.—Leave
was granted-. . •
