This Bill was also postponed for the same reason, as were Some other Ulll9. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (ST. ALBANS' AND LUTON BRANCH). This was a Bill, upon petition for additional provisions. . The Committee, having been informed by their clerk that, after diligent search, the petition could not be found in the office of the Clerk of the House, and that, thereibre, it would be necessary for the Chairman to apply to the House upon the subject, the case was adjourned to give Sir J. Y. Buller the opportunity of doing so. --..~,~_ ORNING APRIL 1, 1846. PRICE 5D to Port Glasgow was required, and as this was the only one before therri, they were prepared to pass it,:if the engineering evidence were satisfactory. The Committee, after some discussion amongst themselves, de clared that it was their opinion that a direct line should be made between these points and. the counsel for the opposition might, if they considered it right se to do, bring forward evidence as to the expenses and estimates, and other engineering difficulties, as affected that portion of the line. It was at last, how ever, agreed upon by the Committee to hear the counsel and evidence in favour of the competing line before they decided upon the pre amble of the Bill. . Mr. Miller, engineer, examined—The total length of the line is fifteen miles, two farlongs,'And some chains. The distance to Port Glasgow from Ayrshire, as compared with the Glasgow and Greenock, would be shortened by four miles and three quarters. The line would afford a good communication between the bridge of Weir, on the one hand, and Glasgow and Port Glasgow on the other, there would be a saving of some distance from this port also. On the Poet Glasgow branch there is a gradient of lin 36, which would he worked by horse power. There would be no engineering difficulties on the main line, the steepest gra dient being 1 in 75, and the sharpest curve three - -quarters of a mile. The gradient of lin 36 would extend above a mile. Mr. Miller then went into evidence of a merely formal nature, re specting the length ofbranches, the crossing of parish roads, &c., on a level. The estinmed cost was 300,0001., and the working expenses were eitimafed at 30 per Cent. Sir. HILEkTARD cross-examined Mr. Miller, without eliciting any discrepancies with the examination in chief. Mr. Miller then gave in a list of the assents, dissents, and neuters. Mr. Turner, solicitor to the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Com pany, stated that du their Act of 1840 a clause was inserted, making it compulsory upon the Company to construct branch railways to the harbours of Greenock and Port Glasgow ; these had not yet been constructed; and their powers had now expired. A branch railway was, however, made to Greenock harbour at the expense of the Harbour trustees. • The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. - again they had the Admiralty in their favour, and he hoped that the resnU would show that they had the Committee also. The Committee, after a short consultation, decided that the preamble of the Harwich and Eastern Counties Junction Bill (Mr. Braithwaite's line) had been proved, and the preamble to the Eastern Union Bill had not. The remainder of the day was occupied in settling and arranging the clause of the Bill. The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow. Sub-Committee, No, 3.

NORFOLK RAILWAY EXTENSIONS (YARMOUTH EXTENSION.) The object of this Bill is to extend the existing line to the wind. The length of the line is 7 furlongs. The estimated cost 40,0001, The formal evidence having been given, and a petition presented against the Bill, the Committee adjourned. The object of the line is to connect Penzance, Truro, and Fal mouth. The length of the line is 45 mi'es, Including the brancheit— the estimated cost 500,0001. me engineer, Mr. I. K.

This Committee re-assembled this morning, in room No. 29. Present, The Right Hon. H. Labouchere, sir W. Moleswurth, Sir J. Duckworth, Mr. J. A. Smith, and Colonel Itawdon. SYSTON TO PETEI2.IIO3IOVGH (DEVIA TIONS AND BRANCHES). The clauses of this Bill were proceeded with this morning, the preamble having been proved yesterday. Previous to the first clause having been read, Mr. MACAULAY, in reply to an observation from the Chairman, said, that agreeably to the wish expressed by the Committee yester day, a clause had been drawn up by the promoters, and submitted to the agents of Lord .llarborough, the effect of which was to confine the Company to the construction of a tunnel;and nothing but a tunnel • in - the centre line of railway, binding them also not to go further into the park, and to make the tunnel without disturbing the surface of the park, and by this means removing what the promoters understood to be, the objections of Lord Harborough. As Lord Harborough was not In London, the agents declined to enter into any agreement upon the subject, and the only alternative left was to submit the clause to the Committee. The CHAIRMAN inquired what objection the promoters had to go outside the park. Mr. Aus•rtri said that no opportunity had ever been given to the Sub-Committee, No. 4. This Committee met shortly after twelve o'clock. Sir William ileathcote in the chair. Present, besides the Chairman, Mr. Attend Mr. Legh, and Mr. 11. Johnstone. FURNESS RAILWAY EXTENSIONS. This Bill, which came under the consideration of the Committee yesterday, occupied them the greater part of this day. The points which were raped and discussed were, however of no public interest. One of the allegations against this Bill was, that the height and span of the arches over the rivers Clake and Sevin, were not marked on the sections. It appeared that the line was represented on the sections to be an embankment at the points where it crossed the rivers in question. On the part of the promoters of the Bill, it was represented that it was not intended to cross these rivers by means of arches, as the line would cross on a solid embankment, as represented in the sections, MO it was contended that this was not a navigable river in the meaning of the standing order , being , in fact, only an estuary, and only navi gable at high water. Considerable amusement was created by the agent for the line asserting that it was intended to cross these rivers on a solid embankment ; and that if the Committee on the merits of the Bill (by whom he said this po i n t could only be considered) should be of opinion that some provision should be made to prevent the country from being flooded by the stopping of the water, they could introduce such a clause as they might think necessary. The CHAIRMAN said that the standing order required that the height and span should be marked at every crossing over a river, and it was no answer to the objection that they were not marked to say that there was no arch imposed. If it could be shown that this was a navigable river, then the allegation would be proved. Evidence was then given on the part of the petitioners to show that these were both navigable rivers ; and on the other side to show that they were mere estuaries, navigable only at high water. Mr. NUTT, 011 the part of the petitioners, said that he was aware of no reason why the standing.order should be limited to those rivers which were navigable at low as well as at high water.

It was then agreed that the consideration of this point should be postponed till after the printed clauses were disposed of. Mr. PAGET, on behalf of the proprietors of the Melton Mow bray Canal, proposed that a proviso should be added to the 6th clause, to preclude the promoters from closing the Oakham Canal. Mr. AUSTIN said that no powers were proposed to be taken with regard to the Oakham Canal. The Committee, therefore, refused the application. The clauses were then proceeded with. Mr. Liddell was then re-called to ascertain the additional expense which would be incurred by carrying the line out of Lord liar borough's park. He stated that it could be constructed in that manner for 3,0001. or 4,0001. Mr. TALBOT intimated that the promoters would consent to take the line outside the park. Their views were exceedingly " squeez had to cleat with they would consent able," and knowing wh o the y to anything. Mr. Stephenson confirmed the evidence of Mr. Liddell, and said that by going out the park the length of the tunnel would be in creased 60 or 70 yards. The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission The CILAIRMAti said that the Committee were prepared to pass the clause as it had been presented by the promoters, if the latter in r - sisted. The injury done to Lord ilarborou g h's park, by going tinde it for so short a space, was not sufficient to warrant the Committee forcing - upon the promoters to incur an additional expense of 5,0001., and on the public the inconvenience of a lengthened tunnel. Mr. MACAULAY said that the promoters would accept the clause as it stood, but if they found the line could be made outside fo park, without inconvenience or great extra expense, that should the be GROUP XIV. 5017T11-;ASTERN.

Mr. COCKBURN, who appeared in support of the proposed line, pro ceeded to examine the Reverend S. Barker, the rector of the parish of Wouldham, which is three miles from Rochester. The North Kent lino, as proposed, would interfere with his house and with the churchyard.. The western side of the river would be better for a railway, as it is more populous. The feeling of the farmers and landowners in his parish is almost universally against the North done. The clauses were then passed, the report was agreed to, and the Bill will be presented to the House en Thursday next. SOUTH MIDLAND RAILWAY (HUNTING DON BRANCH).

Kent line. By Sir W. Itirene—ls positive that the North Kent line would interfere with his house and the churchyard. Some discussion here ensued as to whether It was competent to a private individual whose property was affected to enter an objection to any part of the line he might think proper. The CHAIRMAN at length decided that private individuals could not be heard against those portions of the line which did not affect their own interests. The demerits of the whole of the Seuth-Eastern line would be entered into by the competing line, and of course that would answer all. the wishes of private persons who wished the whole line to he opposed. By Mr. MERREWETHER—Has not examined the plan deposited in the parish. Mr. H. Simmonds, examined by Mr. MERREWETHER —ls a wharf- Inger and collier, at Maidstone. Has turned his attention to the way in which the North Kent• and South-Eastern lines approach Maid stone. The North Kent goes along the east side of the river. The western side, along which the South Eastern goes, is More Populous than the eastern side, and possessed more places of note. Believes that the South-Eastern line will afford more accommodation to.Maid stone. By Sir W. RIDDEL —ls aware that the North Kent is only eight miles in length between Rochester and Maidstone, and the South- Eastern is eleven miles. The Right Hon. Mr. Lushington, examined by Mr. AUSTIN — Resides at Norton Court, which is between Sittingbourne and Faver sham. His attention has been from time to time directed to the rail ways proposed to be formed in Kent. Knows the project of the - South-Eastern Company, and also of the North Kent Company. His opinion is that the South-Eastern scheme is the one most calculated to benefit the country, , Sir W. RIDDEL objected to this course of evidenee as the Co mittec,had, a ,for days since declared that the opinions of private individuals with reg'ard to the merits of the line were not admissible. The CHAIRMAN was - of Opinion that such evidence *ere admistible to "ti certain extent. - It was unnecessary to draw the line with too great severity. , , Examination continued—Has, until lately, been rather in favour of the North Kent scheme, as it was generally believed that the South- Eastern Company were not sincere in their profession of coming down near the course of the proposed North Kent line. Has found, on reference to the report of the Board of Trade, that they approve of the South-Eastern line, and it is bound, by a clause in its Act, not to pay any dividend until the line and branches, as specified in the Act, are formed. By Mr. TALBOT—Was in favour of the proposed atmospheric line. Was not aware of the accommodation given to the quays at Faver sham by the South-Eastern. Mr. Norton Knatchbull gave it as his opinion that the South- Eastern scheme was in every respect superior to the North Kent. Mr. Edward J. - Hilton—ls a banker at Faversham, and also navigation commissioner. The accommodation given to the quays by the South-Eastern Company was in every way satisfactory. Examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—The Mayor of Faversham presided at a metting of the inhabitants last year. He is the agent of the South-Eastern Company. The meeting agreed to a petition in favour of the North Kent Line. Mr. Henry Cooper, an alderman of Canterbury, stated that the S ou th-Eastern would afford very great accommodation to that city and to the fisheries of Ramsgate and Margate. It would incon venience the city to make a new station. By Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM—There has beer. a public dinner at Canterbury, and 280 persons present at it. Witness has not paid the bill for that dinner. If nobody else pays it witness must. Believes that the South-Eastern Company will pay it. Is of opinion that dinners change people's opinions, for some of the supporters of the North Kent Company who were present drank " Prosperity to the South-Eastern Company." Mr. Gibbs, of Howley, also gave evidence in support of the South- Eastern line. Mr. Miller, an engineer, was then called i n support of the South . Eastern line. lie stated that he had surveyed North in Kent. with The a view to the formation of a railway in 1825, and 1832. gradients of the South-Eastern, between Greenwich and Woolwich, are more favourable than those on the North Kent in the same places. The two tunnels on the North Kent between London and Woolwich are very objectionable. Ilse accommodation it would afford to the dock and arsenal is superior to the South-Eastern Railway. The Committee then adjourned at half-past three o'clock. NICOLL'S PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65. Patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, Enc.

Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Cont inent of Europe, together with the " elete" of the aristocracy, and "haute voles." Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en dangering health.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE 0 - F LORDS. - The Coinmittee appointed to sit in the Lord Chancellor's Court gave their decisions in the case of the following Bills : —The Water ford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway; Dublin, Dundrum, and Enaiskerry Railway ; Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Railway; Dublin and KingstOwn Extension ; the Dublin and Sandymount Atmospheric. The Committee decided in all these eases that the preamble of the Bills were proved, and the remaining clauses were also agreed to. CONIC AND unaTzuronn LINE. The Committee met at eleven o'clock, Lord Strafford in the chair, and resumed the hearing of evidence in the case of this line. Mr. It. Beamish, C. E., was examined as to the engineering faci lities that occurred on the intended line, the construction of which he deposed, would materially improve the navigation of the river Lee in Cork by straightening its course. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GUOUP VI. This Committee met to-day at 12 o'clock, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Sir John llobhouse, chairman. THE PERTH AND CRXEFF DIEECT. This part-heard case was called on. Mr. Miller, civil engineer, examined by Mr. G. PATTEN— The main line commenced at Perth, and proceeded up to the valleyof the Amans up to Crieff, where it is almost a perfect level. There were no engi neering difficulties. Had surveyed many lines, and never found less engineerigg difficulties than on this line. The traffic of the country was principally agricultural, and it was at present accommodated by cartage. The object of the line was to accommodate the farmers. The es timatefor the construction of the line was 300,0001. This estimate in cluded the branches. The gradients on the branches were considerably heavier than on the main line. There were two branches ; one was one mile in length, and the other about two miles and a quarter or three miles. The gradients in the branches were about 1 in 80. A drainage Bill was now in Parliament in connexion with this rail way ; it was a Bill which would drain a large tract of waste land that would hereafter become very valuable. toT_dhheceidCoomioipmfotinhtteteheneillynlrtweimamasatbnelodetotphfretoy:ehedadß.ilhl.eard sufficient to enable them preamble T TT h he c c o o ti hi u Ae r i t rR IA Bm • : An s i. then dt h e t l he c a a gt r r e to d hu , ep a cn n o d ottn mb n e p iit o iti n eget t e,, h c, o retn r n o f th e arties, ,at al w f- ere to that g oo h n e , Com mittee adjourned, ehrenicoalflyoprieniadoyn the further proceedings postponed to the next day, and the Com past one o'clock, till twelve the next day. consisting of VIII. This twThislies, 3 C i o r m . BrneirtetesfeOrd, Colonel Paget, and Captain Vyse, re-assembled (chairman), Mr. En this morning in Room NO. 13, and proceeded to hear the case of the promoters of the NORTH BRITISH (No. I.) Mr. John Miller, the engineer of the line, was the first witness called to prove that the scheme would be advantageous both to the promoters and the public. He deposed that he had considered the feasibility of a line running to the south instead of the north, and he had come to the conclusion that it would nt be advisable to form a southerly line, because it W ould have to l e ross the valley of the Tweed (which was very large, and would be rather unmanageable to an engineer). A southerly line would not give as much accom modation to the public, because it would take the wrong way. The public had more transactions with Edinburgh than the southern parts of Scotland. The people of North Berwick Ire re desirous to have this line formed ; indeed it was owing to thergent requests that the scheme had been brought forward so soon. Mr. TALBOT here asked whether the Chairman had seen the Speaker of the House of Commons relative to the petitions which had been presented to the House against the Bill? Tho Castammi replied that he had, and that the Speaker said that the petitions were for the House, and it was not usual to lay them before the Committee. He (the Chaman) told the Speaker that the case was also an usual one, and he ir conceived that the public in terests would be furthered by allowing the petitions to be laid at once before the Committee ; but the Speaker gave him no encou ragement to hope that the petitions would be referred to the Com mittee. Mr. TALBOT stated that he knew thousands of eases in which the petitions against a scheme were at once referred to the Committee. The CHAIRMAN stated, that as that was se, he would again wait upon the Speaker (whom he shortly expected), and request him to allow the petitions to be laid before the Committee. Mr. A. M. Davidson, sheriff clerk of the county of Haddlngtcn, stated that he was acquainted with the district through which the promoters proposed to form a branch from the main line to Hume. The people in that district had experienced considerable incon venience anti expense, iu con§cquenc9 9f there Wing illatleclugt MOM of transit for building* materials. The same would apply to - coals, &c. The construction of a branch to DBMS would be of immense benefit to the people in that district. The line through North Ber wick would also be a scheme highly beneficial to the public and the promoters. Mr. Boyle, proprietor of land, and farmer of 800 acres, in Rox te burghs/tire, deposed that the lin e p roposed by this Company pass through the district would afford great accommodation to the public. There were 28,000 acres of land cultivated in this district, in the cultivation of which lime wits used to a great extent, viz. one ton per acre in a period of nineteen years. There would be a revenue to the Company, in respect of the carriage of' lime alone, ot' 400/, per annum, respect would be the difference between 13s. 4d. and 3s. 9d. per ton, and the saying to the public in that and the number of tons of lime annually use rsd VlttS strangers were d 10,Q00. This closed the evidence of the promote, an ordered to withdraw. On our re-admission we found that the preamble had been passed, and the Committee proceeded with the clauses of the Bill. On clause 6 being read, The Loan PROVOST If Edinburgh objected to it, inasmuch as the Company thereby sought to remove the Trinity tat College Now Church), Edinburgh, for the purpose of enlarging their s the owners of the College property olmjceted to the removal of the church unless they provided a church of the same dimensions, &c., in the neighbourhood. Ile had a clause to propose which would provide for the reconstruction of a church instead of the present one. Mr. HOPE, en the par. of the Company, objected to the clause proposed; the Company would, however, have no objection to the owners of the church making use of the materials in the c low themonstruc tion of another church , and they wer e q uite willing to al a certain sum of money for the reconstruction. 'he cheurchrience, was very b a dly attended, and the Company ha d, from past exp d : mined never to reconstruct a church for any party. The LORD Peovosr considered that he had made a very inserted reason ahle demand. .If the clause which he h ad proposed were , the presbyters, congregation, the Antiquaries, and t were to he Town Council, would be perfectly satisfied. if the parishioners 'receive a sum of money for reconstructing it themselves, there would be nothing but wrangling. , ' The only plan of preserving peace would she by compelling the Company to rebuild the church. The pro prietors wished he present style of architecture (gothic) to be pre served, and Mr. Smith the architect had estimated the expense of rebuilding it at 6,0001. 6r 8,0001. Mr. Flom said that the Company, rather than be compelled to re l.-mild the cheseh, would abandon the sixth clause altogether. The LORD,tROVOST ultimately assented to the passing of the clause, And stated'Etat he would take his chance of succeeding with another clause, whi, If he would subsequently propose with respect to the church. i • - Mr. TAI,Y , T said that the promoters could not assent to the Lord Provost sewing forw4d.with another clause if th e sixth were allowed to pass. , - -I'lles' tronio * .ranfer abandon the clause in question, because they knit- what it was to be compelled to recons truct a church as it original, stood. They had no desire whatever to be left to the tender nitSrelea 6- the c,prporation of Edinburgh or any other p ublic body la•flits inaessr. If the Lord Provost was willing, on the part of the proprietors -"the church to accept such a s um as would be de cided the real - ble by the sheriff for the reconstruction of the church, the pt tors were-quite willing to leave the case to the sheritre arbitiek s n. ' s - _,. :Vie Lael; Ps e:, c staid Bu s t if it ena of money were accepted an Tnfinity of wrangling would Oita , bet:seen the proprietors. of the church and other parties as to the disposal of it. • Eventually the clause as it originally stood was put and passed, "the stairs" first being struck out of the schedule. The remaining clauses being agreed to, The Loan PRovosT submitted a clause which would compel the Company to rebuild another church on the model at some other place, the sheriff to be the arbiter of the sum necessary for that purpose, and called in support thereof Mr. Johu Sinclair, town-clerk of Edinburgh, who proved that the corporation of that city were desirous to come to an amicable arrangement respecting the removal of Trinity College Church. The accesses to the church had been reduced in consequence of the works of the different railways that entered Edinburgh, and the presbytery as well as the corporation were now desirous to have the church removed and rebuilt. If the town council accepted a sum of money from the Company, the presbytery must come into collision with them, and the result would be that the parishioners would be derived of their church during the litigation that would certainly ensuew if the ton council accepted a sum of money for the rebtailding of the church. The LORD PRovosr said that, if it were considered necessary, lie could produce further evidence. Mr. TALBOT then proceeded to speak against the clause, after which the room was cleared, and on our re-admission (after the lapse of half an hour), The CHAIRMAN said, Lord Provost, my duty is to tell you that we have negtived your clause, but we wish intimate to the promoters a of the Bill what is our opinion as to the pro visions necessary in connexion with the rebuilding oe this church, and we prop ose this to you, it being the united opinion, as the basis of some clause to be hereafter introdtteed to meet the case brought before the Committee by the Lord Provost—" That it is the opinion of this Committee that a clause be inserted to prevent the Railway Cornpany from exercising the powers contained iit this Bill for purchasing additional land for a terminus in Edinburgh until they should have agreed with the Town Council on a plan for the re moving and rebuilding. on another site, either within the same parish, or as near thereto as can be a new church that shall afford equal accommodation to that already existing, and that in such clause provision shall be made for the adoption of the same style— any difference between the parties to be subject to the arbitration of the sheriff." The LORD PROVOST—I think that will satisfy us. Sir W. Rnanze then stated that he appeared on behalf of Mr. An drew Dryburgh, brewer, Edinburgh, whose wells would be materially affected .by the works of the Company. He had therefore n to pro pose, for insertion in the-BiWrrelause which should provide coven tion to Mr. Dryburgh. -' 'Mr. TALBOT opposed the insertion of the clause e . — ThesCOmphes,any proposed to pass over Mr. Dryburgh's brewery by mans 6f arc and it was probable that the shades of the arches frightened him. After some discussion the clause was negatived. Mr. Encart then proposed a clause entitling the trustees of the Berwickshire post road to compensation for the injury which the opening of this Company's line in that district would entail upon them, and these gentlemen were determined to stand up as tenaciously for their rights as did the Town Council of Edinburgh. If the Bill were passed in its present state the large traffic passing between Dunse and the mainline would be taken from the post-road. The trustees were liable by deed to the debt yet unpaid for the making of their road; they were parties too who were not specula tors, and he contended that they were fairly and reasonably entitled to compensation. He concluded by calling upon Mr. T. Bowhill, cashier and clerk to the trustees sines 1827, who stated that the debt due by the trustees was 18,8301. The average yearly income from tolls on the road in question was 1,b35/. Bs. lid., yearly interest on the debt at 41. per cent. 7531. 45., and yearly ex pense of maintaining the road 6231. 1 . 25. Id., leaving a surplus avail-. able for dividends of 1001. odd. If the proposed line of railway were constructed, be had no doubt that, the public would pass along it in preference to travelling along the turnpike-road by coach. The railway Company had net objected to giving the trustees compensa tion, the only point of difference was the amount of compensation. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—The trustees in 44 proposed to take 14,000/. as a compensat i o n, and eventually 1844ped 10,010/. from another railway company. The road was not a parish, but a turnpike-roud, althou s h there never had been a turnpike upon it , and the trustees had never levied a s in g le six p ence upo the roadssin the district in question. Mr. TALBOT said that the House of Commons had most righteously relived to insert compensation clauses in English railway Hills on behalf of road trustees (although the House of Lords had acted con trarily), and he trusted that the House of Commons would not suffer railway companies in Scotland to be fleeced by a set of road trustees. The roads for which the trustees claimed had been hitherto as parish roads ; and it appeared from their own witness, that treated they had never received a single sixpence in the shape of tolls on those roads. The CHAIRMAN said that the proposed clause could not be ente of r tained, inasmuch as they had never received any tolls in respect Mr. PATON appeared for Captain Sc ott, a petitioner against the Bill, the roads alluded to. to Mr. Jelin Macvay and Mr. John Mari', w ho, it appeared, were con ask the House to grant warrants to compel the atteedance of nected with a rival line. Captain Scott's agentproved the service of the notices on the above named individuals, who were now in London. Mr, P ATON th en s t a ted that there was an Hon. Member of the House whose attendance was desirable on behalf of his client. The CHAIRMAN said that he had n o power to compel his attend ance- Had he declined to attend ? Mr. PATON said he had ; and the ground ass was because an arrangement had been entered into betw een him igned nd th ae Company, The C H AIRMAN promised that he wou ld intimate to the Hon. Mem ber that his attendance was desired. NORTH BRITISH ( WI:WIC:IL BRANCH). Mr. TALBoT then proceeded to open the case of the promoters of this mu, but he was interrupted by the Chairman who stated that the Committee had decided to adjourn until to-morrow at eleven o'clock. GROUP IL The Committee met to-day at twelve, Lord IVorsley in the chair all the members of the Committee were present. WEST OF SCOTLAND XITNCTZON. Mr. Brunel, not being obtainable this morning by the promoters of the Bill, Mr. Ilawkshaw, the engineer of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, was called to give evidence in his stead. Mr. llawkshaw said he had had considerable experience in the con struction of railways. He had examined the plans of the present scheme, as first laid down, and he was of opinion, with due precaution, it could be worked safely. Thej unction in the opening of the tunnel was not more objectionable than mast that took place in deep cuttings. There was a gradient on the Manchester and Leeds line at Manches ter terminating in the Victoria station, of one in 49, yet they run 100 trains a-day there without any aecident having occur red. This inclined plane terminated at a bridge at which the trains diverged off on to another line of rails, with no view in front, and yet it was worked with perfect safety. By laying down an additional line of rails the possibility of danger would be sti further reduced. AU things considered, he thought the present scheme might be worked without any danger. The cross-examination of the witness did not elicit any point dif ferent from the evidence in chief. Mr. Cubitt, engineer, was next called, and examined for the opposition. He had examined the plans and sections, and considered that the scheme presented a combination of circumstances that ought to be avoided, and such as could not be worked without con siderable danger. Ile thought the third line of rails proposed an objection instead of an advantage , and in this respect he differed with Mr. Robert Stephenson. This closed the case on the point raised about the working of the proposed tunnel. The CHAIRMAN intimated that if counsel had any observations to make on the point on which evidence was taken, now was the time to make their observations. Mr. HOPE said the evidence had been given so clearly and so re cently, that the impression must be vivid enough in the minds of the Committee without any assistance from him, and therefore he would leave the matter in the hands of the Committee without any remarks. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS then addressed the, Committee on behalf of tho promoters of the Bill, stating that the importance of the scheme would be apparent when he state that last evening a petition from Glasgow, signed by 40,000 persons d , had been presented in favour of the Bill. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to review the evidence adduced on the working of the tunnel, affirm ing that with due precaution, the use of the electric telegraph, and the appointment of proper officers, these ossibility of danger would be done away with. lle concluded by ting, that so satisfied were the promoters of the importance of this junction, that rather than lose it they were willing to abandon the Queen -street station, and that line to the harbour, so as only to allow one line of railway through the tunnel. A clause was then put in to the foregoing effect. Mr. HOPE said he would offer a few observations on the clause put in. He characterised that as a virtual abandonment of the whole scheme, and an admission of the discrepancies and incompleteness of the plans submitted. It would be better that they abandoned the till at once, and introduced a new and comprehensive scheme next year.. sergeant ANDREWS made a few observations in reply, when the room was cleared. On our admission The CHAIRMAN intimated, that having consulted the Speaker on the clause that had been submitted, the Committee were willing to allow the general case to go on, on condition thatif the junction over the river were considered to be advisable, the clause would be accepted, in order to meet the objection which had been raised re specting the point they had been considering. The general case for the Bill was then resumed. Mr. Wilson, who was under examination when the point about He thought it would be a great accommodation the junction in the tunnel was raised by the Committee, was now recalled and exarnined generally as to the benefits the line would rtsagn°;:af Ayrshire, itenfrewshire, and Galloway, either coming rota Glasgow to do business, or in passing through to no knew of no other plan of junction where the same to eino Edinburgh.nt ch f oe r mi o n advantages could be obtained with so little interference with pro perty. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at half-past eleven o'clock. _ GROUP XII. &L GLASGOW W', WES ISTRICTT 01' SC SCOTLAND D. The Committee re - assembled this morning at twelve o'clock.

The coals exrorted In the same year amounted nage nearly to 23,317% tons. The timber trade was about equal to that of Port Glasgow. He founcl . that the tonnage of the ships entered at Port outward bound amounted to 39,000 tons. Glasgow amounted in the same year to 42,670 tons, and the ton- Joseph Lang, coal master, gave evidence as to the minerals in the county of Renfrew. T . he line would be useful to them, because they brought a better desenptien of coal from Ayrshire than they could themselves command.

The Committee assembled at the usual hour this morning ; present Lord Harry Vane (chairman), Honourable Francis Scott, the Earl of March, Mr. D. Morris, and Mr. Phillip Bennett. A preliminary conversation took place as to the next line which should be called after the disposal of the one now before the Commit tee. It was ultimately decided that the Bridgewater and Minehead should follow, and would be called on for hearing to-morrow. Tho consideration of the proposed lines of the ZXETEZ, TOPSHAM, AND EXMOUTH, AND T 2 EXETER. AND EXMOUTH was then resumed. Mr. SMALR appeared on behalf of the Corporation of Exeter, who are trustees of the burgesses of that city, the owners and proprietors of the canal. He proceeded to show the Committee the injury this canal would suffer by the formation of either of the proposed lines, and should the Committee consider that sufficient evidence had been adduced showing the necessity for the construction of such a line, then he would submit that the Exeter and Exmouth line be selected, the opposing line crossing the canal, and thereby injuring and ob structing the navigation. Mr. lissavALE followed. He advocates the Exeter, Topsham, and Exmouth proposed line, pointing out the capabilities and facili ties of this over the other. The room was then cleared for a division. On our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN said it was the unanimous opinion of the Committee that the preamble of the Exeter, Topsham, and Exmouth line had not been proved; and they are also unanimously of opinion that the preamble of the Exeter and Exmouth (Locke's line) is proved, con tingent upon the Exeter, Ycovii, and Dorchester Bill passing. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow (Wednesday). GROUP XX. This Committee re-assembled this morning. Present, Mr. Sotheron, Mr. Ross, Lord H. Bentinek, and Sir R. Pigot. LONDON AND BRIGHTON (WANDSWORTH BRANCH.) Mr. WELLEn opened the case for the promoters. The Committee were occupied hearing evidence in favour of the line, which is between seven and eight miles long, and will com mence at Croydon, and terminate in junction with the South-Western Railway at Wandsworth. A West-end terminus will then be given to the London and Brighton Railway. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP XXI. MONDON AND OXFORD. The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour; Mr. Finch in the chair. As the promoters were unable to proceed on account of the tempo rary absence of their engineer, who was engaged in another Com mittee, and other material witnesses, the Committee consented to adjourn until to-morrow. PAYMENT OF OPPONENTS' COSTS. The Committee intimated that the promoters of the Bill ought to pay the costs for the day of their opponents (the Great Western and the opposing landowners). One of the senior committee clerks (Mr. Witham), who was con sulted on the subject, said they had adopted no rule on the subject, but it was left to the discretion of the Committee, from whom any order to that effect must emanate. The Committee, however, made no order, but after the parties had deliberated for a few minutes on the subject, It' was intimated that the promoters had consented to pay the costs of the day, of counsel, agents, and witnesses, of the opponents of the line. It is expected that the Committee will be enabled to come a de cision before the Easter holidays. The Committee then adjourned until to-morrow. GROUP XXV. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual hour this morning, in the Westminster Sessions .house, the Hon. Mr. Lascelles in the chair. THE RIVAL HARWICH LINES. The CHAIRMAN communicated to the parties that he had rem.. a communication from the Admiralty, stating that their (Meer, Captain Beaufort, had examined into the merits of the two schemes, and he saw no solid objection to either, but of the two the Board preferred Mr. Braithwaite's line. Mr. CocKaußN then replied on behalf of the promoters of M Braithwaite's, contending that the line he advocated gave more ac commodation to the local districts, through which it passed, than Mr. Locke's, in so far as it intersected that part of the country which was thickly populated, while the rival line passed along the banks of the river Stour, far away from where the population was centralised. Besides, to prove that Mr. Braithwaite's line gave more local accommodation than the Eastern Union line, he might mention that there were three stations on the former, while he believed there was not one on the latter. He submitted that the balance of local advantages preponderated in favour of Mr. Braithwaite's line. He combatted the alleged advan tage claimed by the rival line of saving six miles between Harwich and Ipswich, by directing the attention of the Committee to the fact that there was no trade between those places. The Ipswich people had lately expended immense sums of money in improving the to port and docks, and it was m o nstrous to suppose, as it appeared be assumed on the other side, that they would transfer their large trade which was carried up the Orwell to Harwich, and have their goods landed there, and then conveyed by railway to Ipswich. What little traffic did exist was accommodated by steamers, and he was prepared to sa' it could not be accommodated better. But then it was said the rival line would shorten the distance by six miles between Harwich and the Northern and Midland districts. Now if the Committee would just look at the map for one moment they would find that there was a line promoted from Chelmsford to Sudbury along the Stour Valley, and having got there it was extended on to Bury, and thence to Thetford, whence there were lines already la operation te Norwich and Yarmouth, and then there was another line from Bury to Ely and Cambridge, extending on to Peterborough, which were all in closer proximity to Mr. Braithwaite's line, and would shorten the distance between Harwich and the Midland districts and the north a consider able deal more than six miles. Then, in an engineering point of view, Mr. Braithwaite's line was infinitely superior to Mr. Locke's, while there could hardly be a doubt that the equity of the case was all in favour of the former project, for only two years ago Mr. Locke had insisted resolutely and determinedly that this was the best line the county Could afford, and tin opinion was supported by Mr. Bidder and Mr. Stephenson. Then taken first. Mr. MACAULAY, in the absence of Mr. Austin, then opened the case on behalf of the promoters. The proposed branch commences on the Bedford line, a little south of Kettering, and terminates by a junction with the Ely and Huntingdon Railway, at Huntingdon, crossing and farming a junction with the line of the Northampton and Peterborough Railway. By this latter branch the chain of railway between Birmingham and Great Yarmouth will be complete. The length of the branch is twenty-three miles seven furlongs, and it is estimated that at least half a million of persons would be supplied with coal at half the cost which that article at present costs them. The promoters have agreed to subscribe 600,0001. towards Its construction. The principal points for the consideration of 'the Committee in deciding on the merits of the competing lines for completing the railway communication from Birmingham to the Eastern branch will be the amount of capital required, the ' length of new railways to be constructed, and the extent of accommodation afforded. The country through which the Rugby and Huntingdon Railway passes from the point where it leaves the Northampton and Peterborough Railway, to Rugby is, with the exception of the towns of Kettering and Market liar borough, most thinly populated ; and this line of country would be fully accommodated by the Rugby and Stamford Railway, for which a Bill was at present before a Committee, pmmeted by the London and Birmingham Railway Company. The proposed line L on d o n supported by a large and powerful company who had subscribed the amount required. The competing line would be longer, and involved a greater expense. The Learned Counsel submitted that, if these grounds of superiority be sustained they would be sufficient to en title the promoters of the South Midland scheme to the passing of their Bill in preference to that of their competitors. Mr. W. Coote, a merchant, residing at St. Ives for thirty years, was then examined—He dealt hi corn, coals, &c. The average number of sheep brought to St. Ives weekly was 4,000, and of cattle 800. The quantity of corn brought to market was 100,000 quarters a year. From 9,000 to 10,000 tons of coal were consumed there yearly, but a larger quittitity passed 41irouglt - it. it Ins verrbadly aocomtnodsted in means of communication, so much so as to be almost excluded from Birmingham. Leicester, and Manchester. The only convey ance was by canal, and the length of time occupied in conveyance by canal to Manchester was three weeks. The price of coals to the consumer at St. Ives was 205., a priee extremely low, owing to the mild winter. They get a quantity from Yorkshire, through Lynn, but none from Leicestershire, from the want of means of convey ance. Tile district about St. Ives was very fertile one. Cross-examined —It would be an object to get as quickly as pos sible from Birmingham to Huntingdon, but he fancied that he could get to Rugby very well by the South Midland project. He admitted that the most direct line would be by the Rugby and Huntingdon line. By the CHAIRMAN—His general reasons for preferring the pro posed line to the competing one, was the saving of 29 miles, the saving of capital to tke amount of 11.0,0001., and the less expense which would be incurred by passengers. He saw no reason of pre ference, as far as regards increased accommodation to the east. Mr. John Edward Lacon, a banker, living hi Yarmouth, was next examined. The staple trade of Yarmouth was the fisheries. The greater part of the salt fish went to Hull, and the fresh fish to London. This was owing to the want of accommodation to the Midland counties. The price of fish at present was raised in Yar mouth, owing to the railway communication being opened to London. Formerly a turbot could be got at Yarmouth for 45., now it was 165., and every other kind of fish was raised there in proportion. James Fields stated that he lived at St. Ives. Be was a master waterman, and owned four gangs of lighters. He was acquainted with the river trade, and took an account of all heavy goods which stopped at and passed St, Ives. The total tonnage for four weeks, the time he calculated the tonnage, was 9,100 tons ; the largest por tion of this tonnage was coals. There were nearly 7,000 tons of coals. Ile took another account for fourteen days more recently. The amount of tonnage then was 3,377 tons, 2,664 of which were coals. Mr. James Morton examined—Was an ironmonger at Huntingdon. Ile got his coal and coke at present from Newcastle, by Hull, to Lynn. Ile would prefer to get coal from Nottiughamshire and South Derbyshire, if it was as good. Ills iron came from Wales, and there was delay, inconvenience, and expense, particularly in the winter time, in obtaining it. A railway conununlcatlon with the midland counties would be of great advantage. Mr. George Betts Pomfret, a maltster and brewer, living in Hunt ingdon, corroborated the evidence of the last witness as to the want of railway communication. Mr. James Baize, farmer and maltster at Kettering, examined — The feeling of the inhabitants of that town was entirely in favour of the projected line. The evidence of this witness was objected to, because the commu nication to that town was at present under consideration before another Committee, to which the General South Midland was referred. Mr. Harwell, an irenfounder, at Northampton, was then examined —He had been three times mayor of that town. Frequent public meetings were held in that town about railway communication passing through it to the Ea stern Counties. In consequence of the repentance now felt by Northampton in consequence of the opposition they gave to the London and Birmingham Railway, which made that Company pass by the town at a distance of four miles, it made the town now more desirous of a direct communication, principally to the north and east. Cross-examined—The competing scheme was never brought before the town, and they had therefore never expressed an opinion upon it. The Secretary of the South Midland Company having given the formal proofs of the estimates, directors, &c., the further considera tion of the case was adjourned till to-morrow, when Mr. Stephenson will be the first witness examined. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. • GROUP XXXII'. This Committee assembled to-day at twelve o'clock. Present — Hon. W. Cowper, Lord Duncan, Hon. Montague Gore, Mr. Walpole, and Mr. Saunders Davies. GREAT GRIMSBY 11. ND ssErrszLii (HUMBER TERRIES). The consideration of this Bill was resumed. Mr. Hors said that, since yesterday , they (the promoters of the Bill) had been making every endeavour to meet the objections raised by the Corporation of Hull with reference to the Humber Ferries. They were ready to strike out of the Bill everything with reference to the ferry in question which might be objectionable. Unfortu nately, however, he understood that a question had arisen with respect to the rights of the Crown. The people were anxious to de stroy those rights, and the Government to *serve them, so that the promoters were placed in a very awkward position. Mr. HILL said, he had heard with great pleasure the observations of his Learned Friend, who had perfectly comprehended the require ments of the Corporation of Hull There were but two ferries on the Humber which could stand the . test of legal ex amination. They were neither of them perfect, but on the contrary very imperfect. The right of ferry possessed by the Corporation of Hull, was from New Holland to Hull, and that of the Government was from Barton to Hull. The inhabitants of Hu ll had become impressed with an idea that it would be desirable to give up entirely all pecuniary advantage accruing from the ferry over the river Humber. The corporation at their own cost had constructed docks, and they were now about expending 10,0001. in the improvement of those decks. The corporation and the inhabitants of Hull were willhig that this railway Company should have a free pass age over the river; but what they did object to was, that the Company should clone. themselves with any exclusive rights. But they said they were waling to give uP such. Under these circumstances, liiieedwtolulllditwwisah. out ration of th I 1 e 111 should be adjour they wore to a ct with reference to tile right s of the Crow r n. th la e lo c et o l ns l i t d o e v; Hon. Mr. GORE—Might there not be a elause introduced into the Bill to protect the rights of the Crown ? Mr. TEMPLZ said be appeared on behalf of the Hull and Lincoln Railway, which from its connexion with the present Bill, he trusted he would be excused referring to it, as it might regulate them with respect to their proceedings in reference to the other Bills on the list. The line for which he was concerned would not come on before the Committee sooner than Good Friday, and it would be for the convenience of all parties if the whole remainder of the group were adjourned till after Easter. It would, in allprobability, conduce to the public interests if such an adjournment were agreed to. The room was cleared, and on our re-admission, The CHIORMAN said that in compliance with the suggestion of counsel they would adjourn the farther consideration of the Grimsby and Sheffield Bill till Friday next. The CHAIRmax gala that on Friday next the Committee would de termine on what day after Easter they would meet. The CnAIaMAN said also, that the Great Grimsby and Lincoln Extension, Lincoln and Louth, and Lincoln and Barton Bills were adjourned till after Easter. The Committee adjourned at half-past one o'clock, until Friday next. Sub-Committee, No. 1. This Committee met to-day at twelve .o'clock in room No. 7. Pre sent, Mr. Strutt (Chairman), Mr. Clive, Mr. Brotherton, and Mr. Beckett, and resumed the consideration of the NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, EDINBURGH, AND GLASGOW JUNCTION. _ The allegations of inaccuracies, &c., in the plans and sections, wire further gone into. After going through several allegations, which were disallowed, and the standing orders declared complied with, the decision, we un derstood to be, was, that the Bill should go up to the Committee of Standing Orders on two errors proved yesterday. OXFORD, COVENTRY, AND BURTON-UPON -TRENT. The object of this Bill is chiefly to connect Burton-upon-Trent with the Birmingham Railway hoes. The length is about 814 miles ; the estimated cost, 2G0,000/. The engineer, Mr. Radford ; the agents, Messrs. Dorrington ; the solicitors, Messrs. Woodcock, Twist, and Co. ; and Messrs. Troughton and Co., of Coventry. A petition from Mr. Jervis against the Bill was presented by !Ir. Parkes, complaining of inaccuracies in the plans and sections. Most of these were unimportant, but two or three were sustained, and so far the standing orders were not complied with. GLASGOW AND DUNDEE JUNCTION. The formal evidence having been brought in, the Committee ad journed at four o'clock. Sub-Committee No. 2. The Committee met at twelve o'clock in the room NO. 6 (cloisters). Presen—Sirß (Chairman), Mr. Kemble, Mr. Welker, Mr. E, t Yorke, and Mr. uller BTROISteII, and resumed the consideration of the GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN. Some allegations of the petitions were disposed of against the Bill, under these circumstances, of some curiosity. The petitioners al- leged that the required deposits were not made with the parish derkS would pass, and of some patishes in Wales through which the a line ersOnS with whom th e deposits parish clerks were produced t o prove the allegtions. But, en the other hand, it was shown that the p were made, and who represented themselves as the parish clerks, and reedued the fees upon the deposits, 25. 6d. in each Case, were in reality only the vestry clerks. The Committee in these cases (with apparent hesitation) decided that the allegations were proved. PERTH AND INVERNESS AND INVERNESS AND ELGIN JUNCTION RAIL- WAYS. The standing orders were declared, ou Friday last, by the Committee, to have been complied with in the case of the Inverness and Elgin Railway ; and on the same night nu merously-signed petitions in favour of the Amalgamation Lines were presented by Mr. Morrison, from the town of Inverness, with about 1,700 signatures—the Magistrates and Town Council of Inverness, the guilds of the Corporation and the incorporated trades of Inverness ; from the seaports of Findhorne, Burghead, and Lossiemouth, and the parishes of Elgin, New Shynie, St. Andrews, Shaubryde, Drainie, Bernie, and Duffles; and from the town and incorporated trades of Inverness against the Great South of Scotland Railway. By Mr. Ilenry Baillie, in favour of the Perth and Inverness and Inverness and Elgin line, from the villages of Fort Augustus, Grantown, Portree, Fort William, Kingussie, and Beauly ; and from the parishes of Kilmuir, Sleet, Leuzort, Durnusb, and Bracasale, Duthet, Kilmancoaig, Kirkhilt, Laggan, Moy, Urquhart and Glenmorriston, Daviot, Croy, Pettit, Glenelg, Boleskue , Aberstarff, Aber nethy and Cromdale ; by Colonel Hugh Baillie, from the commissioners of supply of the county of Ross, the burgh of Dingwall, the burgh of Tain, the magistrates and town council of TaM, the town and seaport of Invergordon, the villages of Maryburgh, Evanton, and Allness, and the pa rishes of Allness, Contra, Foddesly, Kiltearn, and Urquhart, and from landowners, farmers, and freeholders in Easter Ross; and by Mr. Matheson, from the towns of Stornoway, Helmsdale, and Thurso, the magistrates and town council of Thurso, the commissioners of supp l y of the county of Caith • ness, from landowners and oth ers in Caithness, f r om ship owners and others representing the commercial interesys of the Lewis, and from the villages of Ullapool, Boner Bridge, and Brora ; and by Mr. Home Drummond from the la y er royal burgh of Perth, the city of Dunkeld, and the v!ee an of Pittochry and Auelitergaven. Thus, including petitions from the other places already presented, and more still to be so, the w h o le northern counties may he said to be unanimous in expres sion of their opinio n in favour of these lines. . =•----- _ THE LATE BRIGADIER TAYLOR.—Brigadier A.
