At a Meeting of the Vestry of St. Pancras, held at the Vestrv-HU, Camden-towu, on Wednesday, May 14, 1884, the Rev Canon SPENCER in the chair it was resolved That while recognising the desirableness of establishing one central government for the metropolis, with authority to manage all matters of a metropolitan character, such as water, gas, markets, main drainage, Are brigade, police, improvements.

Ac the Vestry is of opinion that the measure which has been introduced by her Majesty's Government wiU utterly destroy the Srinciple of local self-government, and will tend to ceiuraUsa-ion of the worst character, and very largely increase the rates. The Vestry considers that the aim of the Legislature should be to give increased powers to the several local authorities, and not to destroy them as now proposed by the Bill. The vestry strongly protests against any measure that does not provide for the retention of local self-government iu the several districts into which London may be divided, such districts to have all the powers of local administration, and being in connection with a central authority having jurisdiction over aU matters of a metropolitan character." LONDON GOVERN ME NT KILL and CHARTER FOR GREENWICH. At a Meeting of Ratepayers, held at Deptford, on Tuesday, May 13, 1884 P. J.

SHELLEY, in the Chair it was resolved unanimously "That this assemblage of ratepayers of the Borough of Greenwich, having fully considered the BUI introduced into Parlia-mant for the Reform of the Municipal Government of Loudon, expresses its entire and emphatic disapproval not only of the details of the measure, but of its principles, which practically abolish all local self-government, and is of opinion that if the Bill be passed in its present form it would engender abuse, and could not possibly be brought into operation without imposing a lditional taxation upon the already over-burdened ratepayers. This meeting, therefore pledges itself to use every means in its power to prevent the passing of the said BiU." That the claim of the Borough of Greenwich for a separate charter of incorporation should be pressed upon her Majesty's Government.and this meeting pledges itself to obtain this object, and requests the chairman to forward copies of this resolution to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Home Secretary, the Town Clerk of the Corporation of the City of London, and to her Majesty's Privy Council." TON DON GOVERNMENT BILL.

At a Public Meeting of Ratepayers held at the School Rooms, Sneldhurst-road. South Hackney, on Monday, the 12th May, 1884, it was resolved "That this meeting, whilst desirous of reform, which will reduce taxation aud remove anomalies, is of opinion that the London Government BUI substitutes centralisation for local mtrol, thus entailing a large increase of the burdens of the already heavily-taxed ratepayer, and hereby empowers the chair- hi jiii a iremiuu mkbihbi. tne Dill.

J-J At a meeting of Ratepayers of the East Ward of Mile-end Old-town, held on Tuesday, the 13th it was resolved That this pubUc meeting of ratepayers, having duly considered the London Government BiU, and having had explained tne present system of government, is of opinion that the BUI is taUy opposed to the interests of the ratepayers at large, and wiU, if passed, not only destroy local self-government, but also largely increase the public rates and expenditure that a petition be presented to Parliament against the measure and signed by the chairman on behalf of 27,377 inhabitants of this Ward.
