rbtrb Nbttion SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY ) (Sittkigs at Nisi Prins.) Special jury causes were tried this morning, none of which possessed any feature of public interest. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS_DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room B. A Select Committee, consisting of the Duke of Leinster, and Lords Powie, Stratford, and Colchester, &c., met at eleven this morning. Their list included two Bills, viz., the Glas gow, Airdrie, and Monklands Junction, and the Caledonian (Glasgow Termini and Branches). They proceeded with the case of the GLASGOW. AIRDRIE. AND IMONILLANDS 31T2gCTION. Mr. Austin and Mr. Hildyard appeared for the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Co c kb urn , M r . T a lb ot , an d Mr. Whitmore appeared for the Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Rail way Company, who petition against the Bill, on account of the line passing under their line, and taking a small " private line," which they represented to be their pro perty ; and for the Caledonian Railway Company, who petition, on account of their having purchased the Garnkirk and Coatbridge Railway, and being about to amalgamate with them by the powers of an Act now before this House. The same counsel appeared for seven professors of the Glas gow University, who petitioned on the ground that the line would take the University. Mr. AUSTIN objected to the opposition on the part of the University professors, on the ground that they did not pro perly represent the University. After some discussion, the Committee decided that the opposition was inadmissible. Mr. Auszur then opened the case for the promoters of the Bill, after which he proceeded to call Mr. Delmore, the owner of several cotton factories in and near Glasgow, who gave evidence very strongly in favour of the line, especially with reference to the position of its ter minus (at Mile-end, Glasgow), which he said was in the immediate neighbourhood of the Exchange—the centre of business in Glasgow—and of the largest factories. There would be a coal depot at Mile-end, which was also a great advantage. There would be a considerable reduction in the price of coal in consequence of the communication with the coal districts which the line would open. Mr. COCKBUIiN was here about to cross-examine the witness. when Mr. HILDYARD objected to his Learned Friend's appear ance, saying that as the proposed line, in passing under the railway, did not touch the property of the company, the latter had no locus standi. Mr. COCKBURN said that the private line of railway pass ing under the Garnkirk and Coatbridge line, which would be taken and lowered three feet by the company in making their line, was in part the property of the Garnkirk and Coatbridge Company ; and, moreover, the latter company, haying been the promoters of a com peting scheme in the House of Commons, had a right to appear as such to oppose the Bill, even though their line bad been thrown out by the Committee of the House of Commons. He instanced the case of the Harwich and Eastern Counties, in which case the Committee decided that the opposition on the part of a competing scheme could be admitted, though the line was thrown out iu the Lower House. Mr. HILDYARD said that he believed, in the ease of the Harwich and Eastern Counties, there was a distinct allega tion in the petition that the petitioners were the promoters of a rival scheme, but there was no such allegation in this case. The private line was not the property of the Garnkirk Company, and, if it was, the very fact would put them out of Co urt, as the Btll contained no powers to take any line from them. The Committee, after clearing the room and discussing the question for a few minutes, announced their decision, that the case for the petitioners should be entertained, but that no evidence could be admitted as to the competing scheme. Mr. COCKBURN then proceeded with the cross-examination of the witness, and Mr. HILDYA RD called several other witnesses, who gave similar evidence to that of Mr. Delmore. Tke engineer to the lire, Mr. Adie, gave the usual engineering evidence. The particulars have already appeared in The 494111 at great length in the reports of the Committee of the House of Committee on Group X. On the conclusion of the case for the promoters, Mr. COCKBURN addressed the Committee on the part of the opponents of the Bill. The Committee then cleared the room, and, on our re admission, The CHAIRMAN' said that the Committee had come to the conclusion that the preamble of the Bill was proved. After disposing of the clauses of the Bill, the Committee ruse at four o'clock, and adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock, when they will proceed with the case of the Caledo nian (Glasgow Termini and Branches). GROUP 1). AXHOLME, GAINSBOROUGII, GOOLE, YORK, AND NORTH MIDLAND. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. PACE cross-examined to ascertain how many of the places were upon the banks of the Trent. There was an endea vour to show a discrepancy in the evidence as to the cost of the carriage of potatoes to the river and the railway, to the former the charge being 2s. 6d., and to the latter Is. 6d. a ton, although the latter is the more distant of the two, but it was explained by the assertion, that in using the railway there would be a great central conveyance which would justify the outlay. Mr. Birkenshawe, the engineer, was called to speak to the course of the line, which has already been described. Th e gross amount of the returns he calculated at 60,2511., which less 40 per cent. for working expenditure, would give a divi dend of 9 per cent. for the shareholders. The ruling gra dient was lin 137. In the course of the line no difficulties would occur, for there would be no tunnels, and the line, for four miles of its course, ran over a moor. Eighteen public roads would be crossed on a level, for which :due provision would be made ; the line would also cross the Ouze, the Don, and the Dutch River, but the Admiralty had made no objec tion, and there was no property at all likely to be injured by its formation. Mr. Paget cross• examined, to show the way in which this line was affected by the London and York line, which this line will cross on an embankment of seveu feet. An endea vour was made to show that there was a greater deviation than allowed by the standing orders. Mr. WurrEtwasT, Q.C., objected to this mattnr being gone into, as there was no allegation in the petition respect mg this point. The Committee decided that by standing order No. 8 they could not entertain the objection. Mr. PAGET addressed the Committee on this point, insist ing that it was competent for the Committee to go into the inquiry, inasmuch as it was the practice of the House of Lords to take the clauses and the preamble of the Bill together, instead of doing as was done in the Commons, taking the preamble first and the clauses afterwards. Here the room was cleared, but when the hour for ad j ournment arrived, the Committee had not agreed, and their decision was therefore deferred till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED BRIDGE BRANCH). The Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock. The first business proceeded with was the case of the Rev. Mr. Fletcher, a landowner, who opposed the line on the ground of its being likely to injure his property, called Lee Park. Mr. Bickers, agent to Lord Palmerston, and occupying one of his Lordship's farms in Hampshire, stated he had known Mr. Fletcher's property for thirty years, and gave evidence to the effect that the line would injure his " water meadows" on the banks of the Andover Canal, and consequently deteriorate his estate. In his cross-examination hestated that part of the water on the meadows was derived from a stream which ran by his (witness's) house, and that Mr. Fletcher had no right to the water from the canal. Mr. Sergeant WRANGLIAM then proceeded to address the Committee on behalf of the promoters of the Bill, and in reply to the evidence and speeches of their opponents. He commenced by alluding to the case of Mr. Fletcher, in order to chow that it was one of those cases which, if injury was done, would be compensated by the company; but with respect to the whole of the landowners' cases, The cause of the promoters of the Bill was of too grave and Important a nature on account of the public interests involved to be put in juxta-position with them. Those interests were too serious for him to suppose, even for a moment, that the committee would be influenced in their decision upon the preamble of this Bill by any of the causes which had been suggested by his Learned Friends on the part of the different petitioners whom they represented. With respect to one case, the only one which at any time assumed the appearance of residential interference ....he meant the case of Mr. Everett—he should by-and •by trouble the Committee with a very few observa tions: In the meantime he would pass from th ese matters of detail, and proceed to address himself , as shortly as h e could at that prolonged period of their sittings, and at that advanced period of the session, to the main feature of this great measure, to which he trusted the Committee would give their sanction, and, by that sanction give, not merely a ilirect means of transit between the great manu facturing districts of the north, and the rapidly rising port of Southampton ; but would still more benefit the community by conferring upon the local districts tizversed those facilities of conveyance which up to that moment they were so sadly in want of. Before he came to deal with the general features of the mea sure, let him pause to inquire, or rather lead the Committee ' to ask for themselves, from whom the real and only opposi tion emanated which the promoters believed they had to encounter? Upon what grounds did that o p pos i t i on rest, and what pretext had their opponents for putting it forward? But he would not occupy the time of the Committee by dealing with the real nature of the opposition of the land owners put forward in the one interest or the other, because he looked to the great object of the measure ; and he would, therefore, only ask, who were the opponents who appear e d before them in the guise of landowners but the G rea t Western and South-Western Railway Companies? But he apprehended that two powerful railway companies never came before a Committee of either House of Parliament to oppose the passing of e measure with less chance of success, and whose ground of opposition was so utterly in contradiction of almost their every act, or th e pretext upon which they rested their opposition was so utterly consistent. He took it that those companies opposed them on the principle that the introduction of competition, by ethttstructing a railway through this district, would be likely to entrench upon the t he interests which belonged to them. Whateor phrase they might dress their opposition in, he apprehendo that no one who iAgtl attended to the pro ceedings in the Committee, could doubt that that was tho real and substantial reason which brought them there. His Learned Friend Austin) put it that it would inter. fere with the vested interests of the Great Western anti 4opth Western Railways ' • but he would Inquire to what extent it W ould interfere with either of them. au4 whether or not oa public grounds it was not fully justified? ISkt Jet him for a moment beg the Committee to Consider who it iess that raised this cry—" Don't interfere with us—don't to raise competition against us—don't touch our vested interests." This language proceeded from the Great Western, every line in connexion with 4titcf} th ey had promoted before Parliament this session had been in. distinct contradiction to the principle of non-competition. Why all the lines they had been promoting north of their 4WD line were distinctly promoted and justified, mad gucess fully pressed upon Parliament on the ground of establishing et competition on their part against the London and Binning haw C ompan y. Why their opponents were those who did not shrink from carrying a ane a railway from I,ondon $o Birmingham upon the gotta of creating 4 competition with existing railway companies. Were they fit parties to come there to oppose the construction of a line between two points like Manchester and Southampton, because they might incidentally interfere with their traffic and compete with them for some portion of the trade which they hoped to carry ? So much for the Great Western so far as competition was concerned, the principle of which they had carried further than any other existing company, and those Bills of which the Committee had heard so much — the Worcester and. Oxford, and the Rugby and Oxford— were distinctly promoted and sanctioned on the principle of competition. Mr. BROCK LEIUJRST said the Oxford and Birmingham was prepared to be constructed on the principle of competition. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM said the lines branching north to Birmingham were urged by the Great Western of the ground that they would establish, as between the mining districts and the metropolis, two competing lines in the hands of two competing companies. And the South- Western also were not entitled to complain of com petition, as they had carried a line from London to Exeter, in opposition to the Great 'Western itself. But the Manchester and Southampton was not formed on the mere principle of competitio n , b u t f or t h e grand purpose of opening up direct communication between the great empo rium, Manchester in the north, to Southampton in the south. That being the state of parties, what was the nature of the issue in the caus e ? H e appre h ended that the Com mittee, although they had been led into a wilder ness of investigation, were now in a condition to de ' cide satisfactorily to themselves whether they bad judiciously selected that line, which would be of the greatest public benefit. Then his Learned Friend (Mr. Austin) cast a number of imputations on the Company, and declared that it was a" bubble company," and that they were not formed for the bona fide purpose of executing a line of railway, but that they were " confederated" together for the pur pose of speculating on public credulity, and accu mulating fortunes for themselves, by issuing shares on account of a company not intended to be carried out. That was a strange imputation, and one which ought not to rest on the breath of a Committee. There should have been some evidence adduced in support of these heavy charges which his Learned Friend had flung at a body of gentlemen, who did not yield in respect either to his Learned Friend or to any there. The Committee had before them, in evidence, what ought to be enough to refute these charges thus flung at random at the promoters of the line. They had the prospectus of the company, which contained a list of its Provisional and Managing Committee. Did they find there the name of any noted knave, who was likely to seek, either by legitimate or uulawful means, to obtain some miserable bounty to himself, but of the credulity of the pub lic? He found in the list of names connected with this line gentlemen who, in point of rank, station, or name, would yield to none to be found in any similar document. These remarks were not made in the heat of an address, when his Learned Friend might have been excited. Then again there were allegations in petitions distinctly imputing some heavy charge to this Company, and he asked, who could lay a petition in itself calumnious before the Committee, and shrink from supporting these allegations with one tittle of evidence? Was this a matter which was to be left alone to the vague suggestions of counsel, however ingenious, to sustain them before a tribunal which was to try the measure these gentlemen were promoting, who were gentlemen of the purest honour and of the most unstained integrity? He was wholly unjustified in using such language towards them. What were the facts? He said the shares were 201. shares, and that this was in itself a " badge of suspicion," but the Great Western had opened 201. shares in the Oxford and Birmingham line, so that what in that room would be called iniquity would equally apply to that line, as the money necessary for its construction was proposed to be raised by 201. shares.—(Laughter.) If this were so, they would go down to iniquity with Mr. Hill on one side and Mr. Austin on the other. The Committee were no doubt aware that shares varied from 1001. to 151. each, and that the tendency of late had been rather towards diminishing than increasing shares. The same rate of shares was adopted by the Buck ingham Company, under the patronage of the London and Birmingham, by the Eastern Counties in their extension shares from Cambridge to York, by the Norfolk Railway, by the West Riding Union Railway, by the York and North Midland, and last, though not least, the Trent Valley Rail way. He might swell the list, but he would not detain the Committee further on the subject. Mr. Bnoci.mauasx said the plan was very convenient, be cause 100!. share were divided into five shares. Mr. Sergeant WRANGITA.III ;Mt on t.:7 - say, that his Learned Friend accused them of only seeking for 5 per cent. instead of a larger sum, which he stated was the " true test of bubbles ;" at that period the amount of deposits had not been increased to 10 per cent., but when they applied to their shareholders they acceeded, but if they had been a " bubble" company there would have been no necessity to ask for another shilling up .to the present time, besides they might have passed through the Commons without calling on the shareholders for any future deposit. They had called for and received the full deposits for the passing of the Bill through Parliament, and therefore, on his own showing, they stood acqiutted from the charge of being a " bubble company." Then, with respect to to allowing 41. per cent. interest before the line is made in the cnpitml paid up, which his Learned Friend said showed "consummate art"—. Mr. BROCI(EILUPST said this was common to all Bills last year. - Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM said it was. In one casein found that instead of 41. one Company allowed 5/. per cent., namely, the Great 'Western themselves, with respect to the shareholders in the Oxford and Rugby ; but his Learned Friend did not consider that this was encouraging specula tion.—(Laughter.) But if the Great Western had sinned, the South Western was not blameless, as the shareholders in the South Western amendment were allowed to partici pate in the terrible practice. It was also advantageous to shareholders, because it enabled them regularly to pay up their :calls. Then with respect to the statement made at the affirmation meeting, that the promoters would not call for more than 41. per cent. per annum, They must recollect that the shares are 201. each, and that the adoption of this course would not detract from the public benefits which the line was intended to confer, and would enable parties to know what they would have to pay in the course of a year. This would not put them to any incon venience on account of the want of capital, because five or six months must elapse after the passing of the Bill before they could obtain possession of the land; be fore which time they would have snore than a suf ticiency of capital. Then the tunnel at Cotteswold hills, 2,900 yards in length, would require three years to construct, but the line to Andover could be made in twelve ..... ..... months, before which time they would have 360,000/. in hand, which would not be required. By January, 1849, they would have 1,600,0001. without troubling the Midland Com pany for any portion of their 400,0001., out of which, by that iime, they would have to pay 150,0001., leaving 50,0001. sur plus. In this respect there was no blot on their escutcheon. After referring to the great public advantages which would accrue to the districts through which the line would pass, and to Manchester and Southampton, and inconsistencies in the evidence of Mr. Locke and Mr. Brunel, who each stated that they had lines "in their heads" to accommodate the district to the various lines projected, as contrasted with the opening of the Manchester and Southampton, sixty-five miles of which, as stated by Mr. Stephenson, would be a sur face line ; and in the case of Mr. Everett, whose property they could not help crossing if the line was to be made at all, albough they were willing to deviate to the u t mos t ex t ent, or ' by a tunnel of 60 yards below the surface of the ground, he called the attention of the Committee to the traffic returns of twenty-three lines, the average weekly returns of which were 891., whilst they only put theirs at 421.; thus showing they did not anticipate more than the London and Brighton. Mr. BROCKLEHURST suggested that the Manchester and Southampton should amalgamate with the South-Western from Romsey to Southampton, and use their terminus. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM considered that this would be most objectionable, and hoped the Committee would not de- prive them of a separate terminus at Southampton. The Committee then adjourned until to-morrow. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING Six O'CLOCK.

HOUSE OF LORDS —— • The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat upon the Woolsack at five o'clock, when there was a very full at tendance of Peers. We observed that Lord Stanley, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lyndhurst, the Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis of Londonderry, Earl St. German's, Lord Brougham, Lord Stradb ro k e , Lord Combermere, and the other Noble Lords h a d passed over to the opposition benches. The Marquis of Lansdowne and Earl Grey were the only Peers, who, up to five o'clock, took their seats upon the Ministerial benches. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the Commons brought up certain railway and other Bills. At a quarter past Five o'clock Lord COTTENHAM took his seat upen the woolsack, and many Peers went up and shook hands with the Noble Lord, congratulat ing him. LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Glamorganshire, praying for certain alterations in the Lunatic Asylums Bill. It was ordered to lie upon the table. Other messengers from the House of Commons brought up certain Bills, the reception of which occupied a con tbiderable portion of time. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a pri vate gentleman in Southampton, complaining of the injuries which a proposed railway would inflict upon his property. MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that consider ing the present state of circumstances, and the number of new writs which had been moved for in the other House, it would be quite inexpedient to transact any public business, he would be therefore quite prepared to move that the Hcuse at its rising do 4iourn until some day next week, were it not that there w;,.s an immense quantity of private business to be transacted. #e would, therefore, not move an ad journment, but that the House should continue to sit, it being expressly understood that no public business should be transacted, the House only to hear motions with reference to private business, and to receive petitions. Lord STANLEY thought that it would be incon venient for them to sit at four o'clock, and that the usual hour would :be finch preferable. The Marquis of LiwoPw;i l E had no objection to accede to the suggestion of the Noble Lord, that they should meet at five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM said that it was quite impossible for them to adjourn, for the judges had to meet there for the purpose of giving judgment in two important causes, and they could not do so in the event of the Howie adjourning for a week. MANCHESTER MARKETS BILL. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND this Bill was read a third time and passed. Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills and prayed their Lordships' concurrence. Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow at five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW WRITS. Mr. TUFNELL moved that new writs be issued for the following places:— ____ FOR CHESTER. In the room of John Jervis, Esq., who had accepted the office of her Majesty's Solicitor-General. FOR THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF STAFFORD. In the room of the Hon. J. Anson, who had accepted the office of clerk to the Ordnance. FOR THE TOWER HAMLETS. In the room of Charles R. Fox, Esq., who had ac cepted the office of surveyor to the Ordnance. FOR GLOUCESTER. In the room of Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley,:Esq , who had accepted the office of one of the commissioners for performing- the office of Lord High Admiral of England. FOR THE BOROUGH OF HERTFORD. In the room of W. i.Co;per:Esq.,;l;cliad - ;;Cepted the office of one of the Commissioners for performing the office of Lord High Admiral of England. FOR EVESHAM. In the room of Lord Marcus Hill, who had accepted ~ he office of Comptroller of her Majesty's Household. FOR ROSCOMIId. In the room of the Hon. John O'Connor, commonly called The .O'Conor Don, who had been elected one of the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Treasurer of England and Vice. Treasurer of Ireland. FOR RICHMOND. In the room of Henry Rich, Esq., who had been elected to the office of one of the Commissioners for performing the office of Lord High Treasurer of Eng land and Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. FOR SOUTH LANCASHIRE. Mr. THORNE LY moved that a new writ be issued for South Lancashire in the room of Lord Francis Egerton, now Earl of Ellesmere, recently called to the House of Lords. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY—(GREENWICH TO CHILHAM.) Mr. FREWEN moved that this Bill be read that day six months. The railway interfered with the public by crossing an important public road on a level, and the Metropolitan Commissioners had reported strongly against it. Sir E. FILMER said that the motion was quite un expected, as no notice had been given. He should cer tainly oppose it, as no company had ever tried to do more for the benefit of the country through which it passed. Mr. PROTHEROE said that he regretted that the Hon. Member who made the motion had not during the interval which had elapsed since the last discussion on this question read the report of the Highway Com missioners. They did not in their report mention a word of this line. They only spoke of a branch which was to go to the west end of the town, and which was not before the Committee at all. Sir R. 11. INGLIS wished to call the attention of the House to the state of this particular Bill. It was passed, it was true, by the casting vote of tl e Chairman, but still it was passed. It was re-committed on grounds which appeared to her Majesty's Government, and to the House generally, sufficient to justify the recommittal—namely, the necessity of maintaining unimpaired the observations made at the Royal Observatory. That object had been secured, and the Bill now came forward, supported by the Chairman of the Committee, and sanctioned by the authority of the House. He would submit to the lion. Member that they should not be occupied on a discussion on which the sense of the House had already been fully taken. Mr. FREWEN said that he would not persist against the sense of the House, and he would therefore with draw his motion. The Bill was then read a third time and passed, as were also the following Bills .—Belfast Improvement— Bristol and Birmingham Railway (Gloucester and Stone house Junction)—Caledonian Railway (Carlisle De viation)—Caledonian Railway (Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Purchase) (Amendments to be proposed)— Chorley Waterworks—De Winton's Estate—Dundas's Estate—Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway— Gravesend and Rochester Railway and Canal Sale and Purchase—Great North of England Railway Purchase— Hull and Selby Railway Purchase—Kennington Lane, &c. Lighting, &c. (further Proceeding, by Order)—Kil marnock Waterworks—Lancaster and Carlisle Rail way (Extension to Caledonian Railway and Lan caster and Preston Junction Railways Amalgamation— Leeds and Bradford Railway (alteration of levels in Bingley)—Leeds, Dewsbury, and Manchester Railway (Deviations and Branches)—London and Birmingham Railway (Birmingham Canal Arrangement)—London and Birmingham (Leamington Extension and Coventry and Rugby Stations Enlargement)—Loadon and South- Western Railway (Basingstoke to Salisbury)—London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Railway (Basingstoke to Yeovil) Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Navigation and Railway—Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland (Mullingar to Galway)—Midland Railway (Birmingham and Gloucester Branches)—Midland Railway (Leicester and Swannington Railway Vesting)—Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway (Durham and Sunderland Railway and Wearmouth Dock Purchase)—Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway (Pontop and South Shields Railway Purchase)—Richmond Railway (Kew Branch)—Sheffield New Streets—Shrewsbury and Here fordshire Railway—Sligo Ship Canal—South Devon Railway, No. 2 (Amendment and Branches)—Strathtay and Breadalbane Railway—Surrey Iron Railway Company (Dissolving)— Tenby, Saundersfoot, and South Waies Railway—West Cornwall Railway. The following Lords' amendments on Bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Cambridge and Oxford Rail way—Chard Canal Railway—Dunblare, Doune, and Callender Railway—Lancashire and Yorkshire North Eastern Railway—London and South Western Railway (Chertsey and Egham Branch)—Monkland and Kirkin tilloch Railway (Chapel Hall Branch)—Morayshire Railway—Norfolk Railway Extension (Dereham, Wells, and Blakeney Branch) Scottish Central Railway (Denny Branch)—South Leith Church. The following Bills were read a second time : Flee ming's Estate Bill—Hill's Estate Bill. The following reports were received :—Cambridge Improvement—Huddersfield and Manchester Railway (Bradford Branch)—Lancashire Waterworks—Leeds, Wakefield, and Midland Junction Railway. The report on the following Bills were considered and agreed to :—Creagh's Divorce Bill—Cromford Canal— Huddersfield and Manchester Railway (Oldham Branch) —Huddersfield and Sheffield and Manchester and Leeds Rsilwailway Amalgamation—Norfolk Estuary (a clause and amendments to be proposed)—Severn Navigation— Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Railway Amalgamation Stockport Improvement Tunbridge Wells Improvement. TUNBRIDGE WELLS IMPROVEMENT. Mr. GREENE moved that the Committees on the South Staffordshire Junction Railway Bill, and on the Tunbridge Wells Improvement Bill, have leave to report on Tuesday next.—Agreed to. SOUTH-EASTERN (GREENWICH TO CHART, WITH BRANCHES TO TUNBRIDGE AND RIVERHEAD). On the question being put for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. WAKLEY (in the absence of Mr. T. Duncombe) moved, that the Bill and Mr. I'. Duneombe's amend ments be referred back to the Select Committee on Standing Orders.—Agreed to. Mr. GREENE moved that the Standing Order No. 120, be on Tuesday next, 7th July, suspended ; and that reports on Bills which were brought up on or before Friday be taken into consideration on Tuesday next, provided prints of the amended Bills be delivered to the !oorkeepers for the use of Members on or before Mon. day next.—Agreed to. Mr. GREENE moved that the Galway and Kilkenny Railway Bill, and the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Railway Bill, be read a second time to-morrow, provided the breviates be laid on the table this day.—Agreed to. Mr. GREENE, in the absence of Mr. Estcourt, moved that it be an instruction to the Committee of Selection, that they have power to appoint the Committee on Hill's Estate Bill, to meet on Thursday, the 9th day of July, at three o'clock.—Agreed to. GLASGOW AND BELFAST UNION RAILWAY. On the motion for the consideration of the report on the Glasgow and Belfast Union Railway being put, Mr. HODGSON considered that a gross deception had been put upon the Committee upon this Bill, and that this deception was intentional, and he called upon the House and Honourable Members who were anxious to support and maintain the efficacy of the standing orders of the House to support him in his amendment, which was that the further consideration of the report should be postponed till this day three weeks. The amendment was then agreed to. NEW- WRIT. Mr. TUFFNELL moved for a new writ for the borough of Manchester, in the room of Milner Gibson, who since his election had accepted the office of Vice- President of the Board of Trade. HIGHWAYS BILL. Mr. WRIGHTMAN presented petitions from Nor manton against this Bill. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of Mr. BARING, it was agreed that the House should meet to-morrow, Thursday, and Friday, at. twelve o'clock, for the transaction of private business: only. The proceedings on the following Bills (which were in the stages set opposite to them) were accordingly postponed till Monday next :—Rateable Property (Ireland) Bill Second Reading ; Tenants Com pensation (Ireland) Bill—Second Reading ; Eject ments, &c. &c. (Ireland) Bill—Second Reading ; Leases (Ireland) Bill ; Second Reading.—Western Australia Bill ; Second Reading.—Steam Navigation Bill; Committee.—Wreck and Salvage Bill; Committee. —Administration of Justice Bill ; Second Reading.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (SATURDAY) STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour on Saturday morn ing, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair. The list contained four Bills, three of which were Rail way Bills. CORNWALL. Their Lordships decided that the promoters of this Bill had complied with the standing orders. BLACKBURN, DARWEN, AND BOLTON. This case stood over till Monday, as did also the AIRDRIE AND BATHGATE JUNCTION.

In this case the bankrupts are the well known bankers late of Bond-street ; and this morning Mr. Groom, the official assignee, announced that the first and final divi dend of 20s. is the pound would be payable next weak. The fiat is dated as far back as the 19th of November, 1825, consequently the creditors (half of whom are dead), have been kept out of their money upwards of twenty years. The amount spent in expenses has been enor mous, and yet 20s. in the pound is left for the creditors. Warrants for payment may be obtained at the official assignees' office on Saturday next and two following Saturdays, at which time all securities exhibited at the proof must be pro.luced. Mr. Groom also stated that executors and administrators of deceased creditors would be required to produce the probate of will or letters of administration. The final result of this bankruptcy must prove what severe sufferers the Messrs. Chambers have been in the matter. LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS. Mr. Charles Lamb. a solicitor, said to be residing at 19, Earl-street, Blackfriars, was on Saturday indicted for committing a most unprovoked assault on a young man named Manley. Mr. Parry attended to prosecute. Tho defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and conducted his own defence. The prosecutor stated, that having seen Mr. James Hasell, the landlord of the Angel Inn, America-square, Minories, four or five times, he was induced to cash him an I. 0. U. for 1401., to pay a brewer's account, on the understanding that it was to be repaid in forty-eight hours. Mr. Hasell never met the payment, and he im mediately commenced proceedings against him, when an agreement was made to defray the amount by monthly pay ments of 51. The first instalment was duly paid, and on the second becoming due only 31. was handed in. At the suggestion of his solicitor he went to Mr. Hasell's house on Sunday evening the 21st of June, to inform him that if the remaining 21. was not paid an execution would follow. A conversation arose, in the course of which several observations were made, pro and con, whereupon he was seized by the arms, and thrust out of the house, and as he was going out he was struck violently on the eye by the defendant, and knocked down. The defendant, after cross-examining the prosecutor, addressed the jury, and said he was led to commit the assault, owing to the prosecutor refusing to be quiet, and continuing to create a disturbance in the house, to the serious injury of Mrs. Has°ll, who was ill at the time. The jury instantly found him Guilty. „ The RECORDER fined the defendant 51., and ordered him to enter into recognizances to keep the peace for the next twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Moxhay, of the Hall of Commerce in Thread. needle-street, appeared before Aldermen Sir C. Mar. shall and Moon, upon the complaint of Mr. Mountague, the surveyor of the north district of the City, for unlaw fully taking down and rebuilding a piece of wall in In ner Cushion -court, Old Broad-street, without giving previous notice to the complainant, whereby ho had in curred a forfeiture of thrice the amount of the surveyor's fees, and a fine not exceeding 201. Mr. Montague said he made this complaint, not to recover his fees, which in this case he renounced, but to show that the New Building Act must be attended to, and that the consequence of disregarding it might be the incurring of serious penalties. He should press for the infliction of a fine by way of warning to others. This wall was declared to be dangerous, was.shored up, and Mr. Moxhay was required to repair it. It had been re paired, and no notice had been given to him. Now the law required him to sign a certificate that the repairs had been made properly, according to the Act, but how was he to do this when he knew nothing about it till the work was covered in and finished ? By the 13th section, no tice was to be delivered at his office two days before any wall should be altered. In this case, his fee fur attending to survey, &c., was 31. 3s. Mr. Moxhay asked him how he could pretend to be ignorant of the matter, when he had himself caused an official notice from the Court of Aldermen to be served on him, requiring him to repair the wall within fourteen days? Mr. Montague said he had nothing to do with the notice produced. It emanated not from him, but the office of the City Solicitor. Mr. Moxhay proceeded to interrogate Mr. Montague with some heat, on this point, as he thought Mr. Mon•• tague was knowingly denying a fact. Mr. Montague explained that he received a letter from Mr. Brown, of Cushion -court, calling his attention to the dangerous state of this wall, which was rotten, loose, and bulging. He went and looked at it, and reported to the official referees that he considered it to be highly dan gerous. The referees gave notice to the Court of Alder men, who directed the City Surveyor to immediately, by hoarding in and shoring up, secure the wall, and the City Solicitor was instructed to give notice to the owner to begin to repair the same within fourteen days. He knew, therefore, that the wall required to be repaired, and that somebody would have notice to repair, but he did not know when the party would begin the re pair, that Le might attend and see what was being done. '1 he party who repaired the wall was required to give him two days' notice before they began, in order that he might be present at the proper time. Mr. Moxhay said he did not consider that the wall belonged to him, but it had been decided that it did. It had, to the extent of tkree yards, been loosened, by driving wedges against it, in the course of some repairs going forward at the premises of Mr. Brown, who made the original complaint of the unsoundness of the wall. He maintained that, in fact, there could be no want of knowledge that the wall was to be immediately repaired, as Mr. Montague himself helped to put the law in mo tion ; and, secondly, that as the City authorities ordered him to make the repair, it dispensed with the necessity on his part of giving notice of his intention to repair. The one notice must override the other. The magistrates called in the City Solicitor to advise on the question, who was of opinion the builder or owner was not relieved from the obligation to give notice to the district surveyor of the precise day of commencing the repair, and that the penalty had been incurred, but Mr. Moxhay had not omitted to give the notice in de fiance of the law, or to evade any lawful fees, and this should be considered in fixing the amount of the fine. Mr. Alderman Moon and Sir Chapman Marshall con curred in the compliment paid to Mr. Moxhay, and miti gated the fine to 40s. At the same time they compli mented the surveyor on his disinterestedness in renounc ing the treble fee of nine guineas. Mr. Montague surrendered the penalty of 40s. to the poor-box. James Boulter, a young man in a workhouse garb, was charged by Mr. Mortlock, the master of the East Lon don Union workhouse for males, with being a rogue and vagabond, and neglecting to maintain himself. Sir C. MARSHALL asked it the prisoner was not in, as soon as he saw him put to the bar. Mr. Mortlock said he was not. He always had the same sallow look. He had been in the workhouse twelve years, and wished to be lodged and clothed by the union, with liberty to range the streets all day picking pockets, under the pretext of looking for work. lie had dis charged himself twenty-two times this year, and when he was discharged at the weekly board, at his own re quest. this week, he was told he would not be re-ad mitted till the:next board day, notwithstaading which he had returned already, and demanded admission. He, therefore gave him into custody as a rogue and vagabond. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said there was no ground for such a charge. He asked Boulter where he had been seeking work?—The prisoner said, faintly, at the docks. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL thought his eyes did not deceive him. The poor fellow was too ill to work in the docks. They would not employ such a man. Mr. Mortlock said he was not ill. He had been twice committed for misconduct in the workhouse, and mus press for his committal again. Sir CHAPMAN MansHALL said, stay : let me see, Young man, are you ill or not ? The poor feilow attempted to speak, but sunk in a swoon from exhaustion or illness. Sir CHAPMAN insisted that he should be immediately re-admitted to the workhouse, and taken proper care of. BO W-S TREE T. A countryman, named George White, was charged with obstructing the footway in Covent -garden Market. A gentleman, who did not give his name, attended t o watch the c ase f or the pr i soner, as he considered that he had been roughly used by the police. F I.p stated that, at half-past one o'clock, he saw the prisoner in an excited state in the market, and he refused to go away; he then took him into custody. HQ was very abusive to witness. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was sorry for what had occurred. He would have gone away, but the policeman handled him roughly. Mr. JARDINE said he deserved to be roughly handled for his insolence. He ou"ht to have gone away at once, when order e d. He had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 40s. by his misconduct, which, however, he should not inflict, as he said he was sorry. Gentleman —If you had, I should have paid it. Mr. JARDINE—You have no right to interfere. The gentle man said he considere d gross injustice had been d one , and the police were gu il ty of perjury. Mr. JARDI NE— I f you interfere again, I shall order you to be p u t out of the room. Gentleman —I can go out without b e i ng p u t ou t. Mr. JARD INE ( to the prisoner)—l sha ll or d er you to be present • but I caution you against being found there again. In the middle of Mr. Jardine's address to the prisoner, the gentleman stepped up to the latter and handed him, apparently, a sovereign , as he said, to compensate him for his ill- treatment. Mr. JARDINE—How dare you, Sir, interfere when I am addressing a p r i soner ? Your con d uc t is most un warrantable. To the usher—Put that person out of the Court. The gentleman sa i d be would save th e u s h er th e rouble of using f orce, and walked out, shall indict the constabl es fo r perjury_ saying as he went, ME — the TRADE MEASURES.

Wed Briton. FREE TRADE FESTIVAL. The following were amongst the toasts proposed:— " The Duke of Wellington and the majority of the !rouse of Lords, to whom the country is indebted for their support of the free trade policy of the late Govern ment." " Mr. Richard Cobden, M.P., the able and untiring advocate of commercial freedom, and may he lire to receive from a grateful nation those honours to which the late admirable tribute of praise from the lips of the Prime Minister declared him to be justly entitled." " Free trade, and may the principle be fully carried out by the new Ministry, with the same praiseworthy firmness as that which characterised the conduct of Sir Robert Peel." The toast " The Members for the Borough" was ex cluded from the list. WILLS.

We have reason to know that the merchants of St. Petersburgh have thought for some time that the exam ple of England would be followed soon ; but they did not expect the movement to occur at so early a date. We have only to repeat the language which we used in March, in substance, namely, although the intelligence we afford from St. Petersburgh proves the correctness of Sir Robert Peel's declaration, that he had no doubt the liberal example set by England would be gradually fol lowed by foreign powers, yet we question whether the Premier himself, at the time he developed his commer cial policy, anticipated that there would be, at so early a period as the present season, an announcement pro nouncing a reciprocal sentiment on the part of Russia. -80 " 012 7 " 1 11 0 Ma. F. Minix°, M.P.—lt will be seen in the new Ministerial arrangements that our Member, Mr. Baring, does not take office ; he has declined doing so mainly in con sideration of the declining health of his revered father, Sir Thomas Baring, and also of Lady Baring, and his conse quent wish to spend much of his time at Stratton. We can stAte, however, the actual fact that lie does not abandon any part of his political creed, but will most cordially support the new Government, and expresses in a letter to a friend the highest opinion of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, in whose abilities he has great confidence. Mr. Baring sits behind his leader, Lord John Russell, instead of, as before, sitting by the side of him. Mr. Baring's desire for office has been much abated by the successful march of the anti• Corn law Bill, for aid in the carrying out of which was his only aim when he took office for 24 hours in November last.— liiimpshire Telegraph. Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial office, from the Governor of Cape Coast Castle. - - - - - - BIR3IINGHA SI, FRIDAY NIGHT.--Last night a public dinner, in commemoration of the repeal of the corn-laws and the modification of the tariff, was held at the Bell Inn, in this town. Mr. William Scholefield, late candidate for the borough, presided, and Mr. Joseph Hull officiated as vice-chairman. Amongst the company present were Mr. Goddard, Mr. Bly the, Mr. George Edmonds, Mr. Jenkins, and other known advocates of free trade. The room, as usual upon such occasions, was tastefully deco rated with appropriate emblems ; but as the party con sisted of what may be termed a mere section of the free traders of the town, the attendance was not so nu merous as might have been expected had it been under stood to be a general assemblage of burgesses favourable to the late Government measures. The usual toasts " The Queen," "Prince Albert and the Royal Family," having been drunk with great enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose " Sir R. Peel, and the Members of the House of Commons who have aided him in carrying his free trade measure,"—(Loud cheers.) He (the chairman) was happy to say that the princi ples of free trade had been carried beyond the reach of injury—beyond revocation, They had laboured for this under adverse as well as favourable circumstances. They had laboured for it sincerely and earnestly, and shame upon them if they were not prepared to triumph as loudly and sincerely.—(Cheers.) They had, how ever, further difficulties in the way of free trade to encounter. Sir Robert Peel had carried the vessel over the bar, but the ship's course was still beset with rocks and shoals. He should not pursue that point further, but would call their attention to the distinguished individual to whom the toast referred. In doing so, they ought to divest their minds of all differ ences which might exist between them on other points. Let them, for a moment, consider Sir Robert Peel only in the able, unflinching advo ca t e o f t h e most momentous measure hich ever emanated from any Government. In that respect he was entitled to their warmest grati tude, and in their name he thanked the Right Hon. Gentleman for the distinguished services he had ren dered to his country.—(Cheers.) He must, however, guard himself against a blind and boundless confidence in Sir Robert Peel as a statesman. He was a clever Minister, but not a statesman. He believed him to be as honest as he was courageous.—(Cheers.) He was a man for the day, but not for all time, After some fur ther observations, the Chairman concluded by proposing the toast already given. It was received with loud ac clamations. - • p GEOLOGICAL SURVEY of CANADA (From the Montreal Ceurier.) Subjoined we give Mr. Logan's narrative of the ope rations in Gaspe and the neighbourhood. The whole report is too lengthy for us to republish, and we must content ourselves with giving the results arrived at. After a patient and thorough examinatic,n of the strata of this district, the provincial geologist found no beds of coal, although a seam of half an inch thickness was dis covered. It is the opinion of Mr. Logan that the narrow margin of the north shore of the Bay of Chaleurs is the limit in that direction of the groat eastern coal field of North America. Bituminous shales, some of which yield a bright flame on being burned are abundant, and these have led to the erroneous belief that coal was in the vicinity. Bitumi nous limestones were also found. Blood red and other coloured jaspers in masses of some pounds weight were found in considerable quanti• ties, and also a variety of beautiful agates. Two petroleum or naphtha springs were exa mined ; one is situated on the south side of the St. John's River, one mile and a half above Douglass Town, and issues through a sub-stratum of clay, and a super stratum of vegetable remains, and becomes apparent among the mud cud shingle of the beach, and appears to be connected with a bituminous deposit of a solid nature found in small nodules embedded in the rock, at the distance of 20 miles. Pits being dug in the beach, the naphtha collects upon the surface of the water. The quantity, however, is not considerable, from 12 pits only half a pint was obtained with difficulty, in four hours. It is not said whether any means might not be taken, such as the sinking of the pits to a greater depth, to increase the product to such a degree as to make it of commercial advantage. The second spring is situated about 200 yards up a small fork of the Silver Brook, a tributary of the South West Arm falling into it six or seven miles above Gaspe Basin. Two sulphur springs of the same charac ter as those which exist in many parts of the province were also noticed. Many fossils were discovered, and among them, one supposed to be new, of the order Brontes, to which it is ' proposed to apdly the term Canadensis. Two veins of galena were discovered ; the one is situated in Little Gaspe Cove, and measures in the thick est part one inch width, but gradually terminates both ways in a few yards, from a fault; the other is in the Indian Cove, close to the fishing stage of Messrs. Pierre and Antoine Simon, consisting of a lode 12 yards wide, in which the principal vein measures two inches in width. Upon assay the galena crystals were found to consist of more antimony than lead, existing in combina tion with sulphur. It is not probable that either of these veins are worth the working. Argillaceous iron ore distributed through a rock of very hard structure exists in a greater or less degree, over the whole district, but in no locality was it found in sufficiently large quantities for mining purposes. Upon assay the ore yielded 26 per cent. of pure iron. There was also found, upon lot 37, in New Carlisle, belonging to a Mr. Thompson, a small vein of micaceous iron ore, coming up to the surface, so that the plough turned up lumps of it. The extent of capability of this vein was not investigated. This is the sum of the discoveries made, and it must be admitted that they are of a negative character. The question of the immense mineral resources of Gaspe is, however, set at rest for ever, by the establishment of the fact that such do not exist; and the Legislature will be saved the trouble of incorporating any more mining com panies in that direction. We trust that Mr. Logan's next tour will be through the copper region of Lake Superior; his observations on that locality will be of great service to the country, THE ROYAL EXCHANGE We are requested to insert the following as a correct transcript of the inscription about to be cut in a panel in the merchants' area of the New Royal Exchange, that which was given a few days ago being incorrect in some particulars : On this Site Sir Thomas Gresham, Knt., Citizen and Mercer of London, Erected the first Building, for the general Meeting of Merchants, which was named by Queen Elizabeth, On the 23d of January, in the 14th Year of Her Reign A.D.

William Tite, F.R.S, Architect. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, JULY 2.—The New Rotterdam Courant publishes, in its number of this day, a letter addressed to Mr. Turings, Consul of Great Britain, Rotterdam. This letter was written in consequence of a statement in the French journal La Presse, that the eldest son of Sir Robert Peel, First Secretary of the British Legation in Switzerland, had been lately arrested and cast into prison in London, for the non-payment of bills of Ex change, given for debts incurred at the gaming table. Mr. Turing, in refutation of so odious an imputation, states that he has a letter from Mr. Peel, dated Reine, 20th June last. Mr. Peel, far from being in prison at London for bills, was in the exercise of his functions as Secretary to the Legation at Keine. We have been informed that it is intended to extend the Dutch Railway, by making a branch to the port of Schiedan, though we have reason to believe that this report needs confirmation. We shall await the confirma tion of it, only observing at present the importance which will accrue to the merchants of Amsterdam, especially those who are in the trade with England. With respect to the commercial trade with Belgium, we learn that the principal points have been agreed upon for some time, the extensive and laborious work of drawing up the treaty has been pursued with all dili gence, and there is every reason to hope that no diffi culties will intervene. But even should nothing occur to impede the course of the negotiations, it is possible that weeks or even months may pass before the treaty can be carried into execution. His Majesty the King, their Royal Highnesses the Prince of O range , an d Prince Alexander,- his Serene Highness the Duke of Nassau, and the Minister of Marine have returned to the Hague from Flushing, where they went to witness the departure of the squadron com manded by his Royal Highness Prince Henry. The squadron consisted of the frigates Prince of Orange, Jacon, and Sambre ; the Nehalennia, the Juno corvettes; the Echo brig, and the Adder schooner. ST PETERSBURCIU, JUNE 22.—News has been re ceived to-day from the interior, of a tremendous hurri cane along the banks of the Wolga, which destroyed between 100,000 and 150,000 chetwerts of flour, rye, &c. which were destined for this place. The loss is very great. WANSEA.—COPPER ORE PROM AIISTRALIA..--"Ch e staple trade of our town is now certain of receiving large ad ditions of the raw material from the antipodes. The first cargo direct arrived on Saturday, in the brig Amelia, of Kirkcaldy, Reid, master, having made her passage in 150 days, calling at the Cape, icc. She has 200 tons of ore from the Burrs Barra mines, and 50 tons of bark, likewise an Emeu, the ostrich of the country. Parcels of copper ore have been sent as dead weight in the wool ships trading to London and Liverpool, for nearly three years past. The ores are very rich, some of them essaying as high as 40 per cent. of pure copper.--Cambrian. ST. A SAPH AND BANGOR AND MANCHESTER DIO CESES.—The following is an outline of the Bill intituled " An Act to enable her Majesty to make certain provisions for pre venting the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and for the appointment of a Bishop of Manchester" (just intro duced into the House of Lords by the Earl of Yowls) : " Whereas an Act of Parliament was passed in the seventh year of the reign of his late Majesty King William the IV., intituled ' An Act for carrying into effect the reports of the e blished c commissioners hurch in Englandappointed to a considernd Wales, the state fe o re f n t e h e e t E o sttha lesiastical duties, revenues, and patronage.' And whereas after the passing of the said Act, and under and by virtue of the provisions thereof, a certain order was made by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty in council, bearing date on or about the twelfth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, for the purpose (amongst other things) of uniting the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and constituting the same one diocese. And whereas it is expedient to enable her Majesty, if she shall see fit, to revoke and annul so much of the said order as relates to the union of the said sees, and to make and substi tute other orders instead thereof, and further to act in the manner hereinafter mentioned. Be it therefore enacted," Svc. Clause 1 enacts that her Majesty may revoke Order in Council as to the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and revocation shall be published and registered. Clause 2 provides that in case of such revocation, her Majesty may nominate to the Bishoprics when vacant. Clause 3 enacts that Ecclesiastical Commissioners may propose other plans relating to the said dioceses, or that of Manchester, and her Majesty may make Orders in Council thereupon. The fourth (and last) clause proposes that no Act or Order in Council shall be affected, except as to the purposes in the said Act mentioned.
