The City Remembrancer has transmitted to the Lords of the Treasury a statement made by direction of the Royal Exchange and Gresham Trusts Committee, in reply to Mr. Baring's letter, which communicated the refusal of the Lords of the Treasury to sanction the plans for im- proving the approaches and avenues to the new building, unless the plans and specifications for that building also met with their appro- bation. The Royal Exchange and Creslenn Committee disclaim any desire to continence legal proceedings, unless " imperatively called upon to do so, in justice to the Gresham Trustees, and to prove to the public, that they have left no step untried to carry the great and useful im- provements contemplated by the Act of Parliament into effect."
