Tor obtaining that concession—there never was so favourable an opportunity of establishing for Ireland perfect equality in political, civil, and religious rights, with England. but, b e li eve me . b e li e v e me, I know enough of the English blind to be perfectly convinced that the experiment to grant such equality will miserably fail. It will be easy to find an excuse for curtailing one right, refusing another, distorting I third, and converting into mischief a fourth, in the cate- Eery of civil and municipal rights. Lord Stanley wilt easily find pretexts for resisting our li ghts. Look to the bigotry exhibited at Taunton. Look at the furious fanaticism proclaimed at Edinburgh I deeply tear and potently believe that the Ministry will be defeated, that the fanatics of England will disgrace themselves again, kid that the people of Ireland will be, once more, left to their own resources.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) LICHFIELD, FRIDAY. The nomination and re-election of the Hon. Colonel Anson, on his appointment as Clerk of the Ordnance, took place to-day. R. W. Hands, Esq., under-sheriff of ihe county, officiated as returning officer. No opposition to the re-election of the Hon. and Gallant Colonel was offered. The nomination of the Hon. Member was pro posed by the Hon. Edward Littleton, who, after compli menting the Gallant Officer for his past services as a re presentative, proceeded to say, that though the all exciting and absorbing question of the corn-laws had now been, as was hoped, set at rest for ever, there as much that yet remained to be done, not only in regard to the sugar duties, but also in reference to the policy to be pursued by the Govern ment towards Ireland. The state of that country was described by the Hun. Gentleman as being a disgrace to the people of any country, more especially those of England, who looked upon it as a part of their own civilised nation. As to the people as a mass, they were ignorant, and sunk in poverty, while the external ap pearance of the abodes of the peasantry showed the squalor and wretchedness which prevailed within them. The crime of murder, too, he was sorry to say, in some parts of the country was not considered such a heinous offence as it should be, but what otherwise could be ex- - peeted when the people were but little better than brutes ? After expressing his confidence that the present Government would bring forward measures which would benefit the people of Ireland, and would also look with attention to the state of education, and the sanatory condition of the towns and villages of this country, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the Hon. Colonel George Anson as a fit and proper person, &c., and retired amid loud applause. The Rev. T. 0. B. FLOYER seconded the nomination in a speech of some length, and remarkable for the latitudinarianism displayed by the speaker in reference to the question of national edueati6n. There being no ocher candidate nominated, the Hon. Colonel Anson was declared duly elected. The Hon. Member was then - about to address the electors, when C. J. Foster, Esq., late High Sheriff of the county, came forward and said it was not his inten tion to offer any_ opposition on the present occasion ; on the contrary as a Conservative—a Conservative more in the literal than the party sense of the term—he begged to say that he rejoiced at the unanimity which had marked the proceedings of the day. He felt that any opposition to the Government at the Fresent moment would be unfair to the ministry and injurious to the country.—(Loud cheers.) He rejoiced to see the unopposed elections throughout the kingdom, and he did hope, that now the opportunity was afforded them, they would think fit to bring forward measures that would tend to improve the social and moral condition of the people, and at the same time avoid any dangerous and anarchical measures.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Col. ANSON then addressed the electors at great length, and having thanked the electors for the honour they had again conferred on him, observed that by doing that they had not only sanctioned his indivi dual conduct, but also the coarse pursued by . Lord John Russell during the last five years; and as well they had thus sanctioned the line of future policy - so recently laid down.—(Hear, hear.) When they looked at the unopposed elections throughout the kingdom, it did appear that there was a general feeling that good principles and good measures were the basis upon which the present Government would act. After alluding to the course pursued by the Whigs while out of office, and the triumphant acknow ledgement of the soundness of their policy by Sir. R. Peel,, the Hon. Gentleman proceeded to observe that no danger need be apprehended from the course that would be pursued by the Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government, as his past efforts had ever been to repair and amend existing insti tutions, not to destroy them.—(hear and cheers.) After thanking Sir Hobert Peel for the great boon he had conferred upon this country by the measures of commercial policy, the Hon. Member proceeded to justify his course of conduct in voting against the Irish Coercion Bill—a measure which he denounced as unconstitutional, and for which no necessity had been shown, inasmuch as it had not been pretended that the present laws had been carried to their full extent. After stating his opinion that no coercive measures, however stringent, would reconcile a people to bad govern ment, the Hon. Member maintained that the more effectual mode of destroying agitation, of quel ling bloodshed, and elevating the people of Ire land, would be to grant them the same political and municipal rights as were exercised by the people of Eng land, and by improving their social condition. The Hon. Member then briefly alluded to his intention of supporting a more liberal system of national education, as well as a due provision for the better regulation of the sanatory condition of towns and villages. On con (Awing, the Hon. Member was asked whether, in the event of a Bill being proposed, qualifying parties to vote in borough elections where they paid a rental of 10/., he would support it, and having answered in the affirmative, the Hon. Gentleman retired amid loud cheers. A vote of thanks to the Under-Sheriff was subsequently carried, and the proceedings terminated. HA YMARKET THEATRE. The Wonderful Water Cure—such is the title of a one act burlesque opera in which Madame Anna Thillon is drawing crowds every night to the Hay market. The Wonderful Water Cure I Ay, an admirable cure it is too for the blue devils—not that the water does much, for were it not for the spirit infused into it by the artists (including in the term author, composer, musicians, and actors), it would be as vapid as the veriest hydropathist could desire. This spirit—and it is indeed the spirit of fun—is administered in most anti-homoeopathic doses, and it tittilates the midriff, producing a by no means unplea sant semi-conclusive action of the muscles, moving the ribs, and explodes in a roar of laughter, by which explosion the blue devils are blown to their namesake. The won derful water-cure is the most effective remedy extant for the spleen, and thus it is administered. The patient is supposed to be seated in a box at the Haymarket Thea tre. He is to keep his eyes fixed on the stage. The scene represents a country fair at night. There are two booths opposite each other—the one, the property of Dr. Tartaglia, the proprietor of the celebrated water cure ; the other, belonging to a certain Signor Belloni, his rival in every sensa of the word. Our patient will then see a well-dressed young man, advancing upon tiptoe from the back of the stage, carrying an umbrella. He sings a serenade—that is Mr. Hudson, who acts the part of Signor Belloni. He is soon joined by one of the most lovely, fascinating creatures in the world, dressed in the most becoming costume, looking La Deese de l'Espieglerie, and singing in the most sparkling, dazzling, and coquettish style imaginable. That is Madame Anna Thillon, who acts the part of Argentine. It is soon evident that Argentine and Belloni are in love with each other ; but alas I Argentine is the ward of the old quack doctor, Tartaglia, who is determined to make his ward his wife. Day breaks, and tht lovers are interrupted. Tartaglia, the pompous quack enters and questions his ward. Anti who enacts Tartaglia ? No less a personage than the im mortal Paul Bedford, who, having had the good sense to prune down some of his Adelphian exuberances, makes the most glorious Quack Doctor in the world. The rustics assemble, Tartaglia mounts his stage, Argentine blows the trumpet, and the Doctor makes an oration, and the rustics buy the medicine. But behold an oppo sition. Belloni on the other side of the way, sports an equally wonderful water cure ; and if Tartaglia has Argentine and a trumpet, Belloni has Scare mouth and a gong. The scene is a rich one. The fair trumpeter is admirable, the quarrel is a very pretty quarrel; but at length Belloni i s fairly driven out of the field. Like many a great hero, however, Tar taglia falls in -the hour of his triumph, Ccdant arma togce, and the victor in-the fight becomes the victim of diplomacy. Argentine, his trusted minister has a secret understanding with the enemy. Belloni is seized with sudden illness. He has 'poisoned himself because his suit n has been rejected by Argentine. Yet still he would fain leave her his whole property, consisting of 30,000 crowns. His danger is so im minent that there is no time to make a will. The Podesta, who has been sent for to unite her to Tartaglia, has a marriage-contract ready prepared. What can be easier than to insert the name of Belloni in the contract instead of that of Tartaglia, and then, as his widow, she will inherit the fortune which Tartaglia, as her second husband, will share with her? It is done, and, lo! a miracle of hydropathy. Belloni drinks of the wonderful water, and is cured. Tartaglia—the Guizot of private life—at once accepts the fact, and by so accepting, effects sales of his medicine to au enormous extent. Is not this a wonderful water cure ? And has not our patient, who we have supposed seated in the boxes, been cured of the blue devils ? No doubt he has, and let all who are .Bitted in the same manner try the wonderful water she is allowed a champion.' She had, however, an interview with Don Rodrigue before the contest—her former love re turns, and she urges him to defend himself to the utmost. Don Rodrigue is victorious. There is an alarm given of the ap proach of the Moors, Don Rodrigue defeats them, and on his return is hailed as the saviour of his country. The King ap peals to Chimene to forego her prosecution of him—she yields at length. Don Rodrigue is pardoned, and it is understood that after a proper time shall have elapsed he is to be re warded with the hand of Chimene. The character of Chit - Ilene i 4 one of strong contrasts—filial duty and love are in it constantly contending, and finely, very finely, was this combat of the passions (we should rather say the affections) delineated by Mdlle. Rachel. The character of Chimene, to the mere reader of the play, appears inconsistent and unnatural. It was the glory of Mademoiselle Rachel last evening to reduce to unity this apparent inconsistency, and to prove that the character has hitherto appeared unnatural only because it has not been brought out fully, with all its lights and shadows properly worked in. She was called for at the conclusion to receive the rapturous applause of one of the most crowded and fashionable audiences of the season. July 11 Arbroath and Forfar .........

The following is the text of the treaty between her Ma jesty and the United States of America, for the settlement of the Oregon boundary, signed at Washington, June 15th, 1846 : "Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the United States of America, deem ing it to be desirable for the future welfare of both countries, that the state of •doubt and uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed respecting the sovereignty and government of the territory on the north-west coast of America, lying westward of the Rocky or Stony Mountains, should be finally termi• nated by an amicable compromise of the rights mutually asserted by the two parties over the said territory, have re spectively named plenipotentiaries to treat and agree con cerning the terms of such settlement, this is to say:— " Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland has, on her part, appointed the Right Hon. Richard Pakenham, a member of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and her Majesty's Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States; and the President of the United States of America has, on his part, furnished with full powers, James Buchanan, Secre tary of State of the United States; who, after having com municated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due fornl have agreed upon and concluded the fol owing articles _ _ "Art. I. From the point on the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, where the boundary laid down in existing treaties and conventions between Great Britain and the United States terminates, the line of boundary between the territories of her Britannic Majesty and those of the United States shall be continued westward along the said forty-ninth parallel of north latitude' to the middle of the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver's Island; and thence southerly, through the middle of the said channel, and of Fuca's Straits, to the Pacific Ocean : provided, however, that the navigation of the whole of the said channel and straits, south of the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, remain tree and open to both parties. "Art. 11. From the point at which the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude shall be found to intersect the great northern branch of the Columbia river, the navigation of the said branch shall be free and open to the Hudson's Bay Company, and to all British subjects trading with the same, to the point where the said branch meets the main stream of the Co lumbia, and thence down the said main stream to the ocean, with free access into and through the said river or rivers; it being understood, that all the usual portages along the line thus described shall in like manner be free and open. " In navigating the said river or rivers, British subjects. with their goods and produce, shall be treated on the same footing as citizens of the United States; it being, however, always understood, that nothing in this article shall be con • strued as preventing, or intended to prevent, the Government of the United States from making anyregulations respecting the navigation of the said river or rivers, not inconsistent with the present treaty. " Art. III.—In the future appropriation of the territory south of the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, as pro vided in the first article of this treaty, the possessory rights of the Hudson's Bay Company, and of all British subjects, who may be already in the occupation of land or other pro perty lawfully acquired within the said territory, shall be respected. " Art. IV. The farms, lands, and other property of every description, belonging to the Puget's Sound Agricultural Company, on the north side of the Columbia River, shall be confirmed to the said company. In case, however, the situa tion of those farms and lands should be considered by the United States to be of public and political importance, and the United States' Government should signify a desire to obtain possession of the whole or of any part thereof, the property so required shall be transferred to the said Govern ment at a proper valuation, to be agreed upon between the parties. " Art. V. The 'present treaty shall be ratified by her Britannic Majesty, and by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof; and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London at the expiration of six months from the date hereof, or sooner if possible. _ _ " In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms.

Probatum est. The music of this most amusing opera buffa is by Mr. Grisar, and is admirably characterestic. Every situation and every sen timent is accurately translated into the universal language; and so completely expressive is the music that it seems almost a work of supererogation to add words to it. As to the Argentine of Madame Anna Thillon it is perfect. Nothing could be more brilliant or expressive than her singing, nothing more arch than her acting. She was a female Figaro. The applause throughout was most enthusiastic, and at the fall of the curtain, when in obedience to the call of the audience, she was led forward by Hudson and Paul Bedford, wreaths and bouquets innumerable were showered upon her. Among these floral offerings were two exquisitely formed crowns; a most fitting tribute to her who is the living representative of two of the muses. The one was for Thalia—the other for Polyhymnia.

The consideration of the merits of the above lines, which, though under different names and in different Bills, brm together but one scheme, having been referred to a Select Committee, consisting of. Lords Denbigh, Sligo, .(ingston, Nelson, and Torrington, their Lordships assem bled this morning in Room A, at eleven o'clock. Lord Denbigh in the chair. The members were all in attendance. The promoters of the Bill were ;;;Cre;Wed by Mr. AuStin, Mr. Talbot, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Merrivale, and Mr. Montague Smith ; and the supporters of the Cornwall and Devon Central, a line originally competing with this, but thrown out on the standi ng or d ers b y t h e " C omm itt ee f the House of Commons, were represented by .Mr. Cockburn. The latter gentleman, and Messrs. Hope, James, Rowe, Hume, &c., also appeared for a number of petitioners against the bill. Mr. AUSTIN, on the part of the promoters of the Bill, objected to the appearance of counsel on the petition of the Cornwall and Devon Central, upon which a long discussion arose, the result of which was that the Committee refused to hear the, opposition on the part of the competing project. Mr. AUSTIN then proceeded to open the case for the pro moters at considerable length. The main line, he said, com menced at Plymouth by a junction with the South Devon Railway, and proceeded by Liskeard, Clynn-bridge, Los withiel, St. Austell, Truro and Penrvn, to Falmouth. The length of the line was 63 miles. There was a branch to Bodinin and PadSto*, the length of which was 15 miles, and the estimate was about 1,500,000/. The West Cornwall line was a continuation froM Truro to Penzance. Now it was a curious fact that the county of Corn wall was entirely devoid of railway communication, and indeed was the only county in England which was so. The fact was, that although the people were the most locomotive people in the kingdom; there was not a single railway in the county. _Railways had long been demanded, and many at tempts to establish them had been made, but up to the year 1844 none h a d b een succ essful. In the beginning of that year—in March, he believed—a meeting was held at Truro, at which resolutions were passed as to the necessity for a line of railway similar to this, and this project being brought for ward, was universally approved of. A Bill was brought for ward last session, which was passed in the Lower House, and which certainly was not passed, but which could not be said to have been rejected by the Com mittee of this House. Lord Ellenborough was Chair man of that Committee, and in announcing their de cision on the case his Lordship said, that they were of opinion that the making of a railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, with a branch to Bodmin (it was not then proposed to carry the branch on to Padstow), would be a very great public benefit; but they would recommend that the line should be carefully and accurately re-surveyed, with a view to secure more favourable gradients, and to avoid some inci dental damage which would be done by the line as originally laid down. They therefore resolved that it was not expedient that the Bill be allowed to proceed. The line had once been rt -surveyed. It came before the House of Commons this session. After a long and vexatious opposition it ultimately passed through that House, and he had little doubt it would now pass this House. All the landowners—that is to say, a great majority of them—were in favour of the scheme. Lord St. Germans was the chairman, and Lords Fortescue, Wodehouse, and Clinton the other mem hers. Sir E. Coleworth, and a host of other gentlemen of the highest respectability were members of the company, and a great many noblemen and gentlemen whom he would not tire their Lordships by enumerating, were promoters of the Bill. Yet so violent, so determined was the opposition, that the cost of passing the Bill through the House of Commons, in 1844, was 730,000/. The recommendation of Lord Ellenborough's Committee as to the alteration of the levels, curves, &c., had been fully carried out. The gradients in the old scheme were in some cases lin 54, lin 45, and even lin 40. The steepest gradient on the line, as at present proposed, was lin 60. He would not say that that was a good gradient, but it was as good a gradient as could possibly be got in such a country, and he would have no difficulty in proving it to be a workable gra dient. As a proof of the assertion that the great mass of the people were in favour of the line, he would observe that while there were about twenty petitions against the Bill on their Lordships' table, there were just 240 in its favour ; and that the capital already raised in Cornwall alone amounted to 365,000/. The Learned Counsel, on concluding his address, proceeded to call witnesses in favour of the line. _ _ r Mr. Broad, a merchant at Falmouth, and agent for Lloyd's there, gave general evidence, the effect of which was to cor roborate part of the statements contained in the Learned Counsel's speech. Mr. Fox, also a merchant at Falmouth, gave similar evidence. Mr. Karceck, a merchant, and importer of guano and of artificial manures, at Truro, gave evidence as to the probable agricultural traffic on the line, &c. Mr. Mitchell, owner of clay and pottery works near Truro, gave evidence favourable to this line in respect of the business he himself was engaged in. lie also gave statistics as to the amount of traffic in clay, &c., existing in the neighbourhood. This.gentleman's evidence occupied the Committee up to four o'clock, at which hour they rose, and adjourned till to morrow.

PARISH OF KEN SIN GTON.-Yesterday a crowded meeting of the inhabitant ratepayers of the parish of Ken sington, was held in the vestry-room of the old church, to receive a report from the committee appointed by the rate payers, on the 19th June last, to draw up a letter to be sent to the guardians, and to the Poor-law Commissioners, to stay proceedings, and to take such measures as may be advisable to prevent e building the workhouses. Mr. Churchwarden Sheppard having been called to the chair, the report was brought up and read. It stated that the efforts of the com mittee had been futile. The report having been received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes, a petition to both Houses of Parliament, praying for their interference to pre vent the order of the Poor-law Commissioners respecting the building of a new workhouse being further proceeded with, was moved, and unanimously adopted. Thanks having been moved to the committee, the meeting separated. CLERICAL NON-RESIDENCE. —The Bishop of Ely, in the course of his charge, which he is now engaged in deli vering at his visitations, states that more than one-fourth — indeed, nearly one-third—of the beneficed clergy in his diocese are non-resident on their cures. Three causes, he adds, mainly contribute to their absence: Ist, ill health; 2d, the non-existence of proper parsonage houses; and, 3d, the holding of more than one living. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. JOSEPH MARTIN.—A meeting of a few influential inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without took place on Wednesday evening, at the White Hart, Giltspur-street. Mr. William Rogers, past church warden of St. Sepulchre's, was appointed chairman ' and after an impressive speech, presented a handsome watch and gold key to Mr. Joseph Martin, in token of his long valuable ser vices as an inspector of the City police. The fullowing in scription is engraved on the watch :—" Presented to Mr. Joseph Martin, Inspector of City Police, as a token of respect by a few inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without, on his removal from West Smithfield to Cripplegate, and for his great assiduity and faithful discharge of the duties imposed on him by that office. 1846." CELEBRATION OF THE PASSING OF THE CORN BILL IN MANCHESTER.—In compliance with two numerously signed requisitions to the Mayor, Mr. W. B. Watkins, his worship has recommended that Monday, August 31, should be observed in Manchester as a holiday, in celebration of the passing of the Corn-law Repeal Act. No particular course of proceeding is dictated by the Mayor. but there is no doubt that the day will be observed as one of general rejoicing, and that a splendid procession of the trades, &c., of the town will be arranged. WIND-SOWN GRAIN.—Last year, just on the eve of the barley harvest, a very high wind occurred in the neigh bourhood of Liverpool, which swept of! from a ripe crop of barley enough seed to sow an adjoining field that lay fallow. The occupier of the land, observing the seed so freely scat tered upon the soil, caused it to be harrowed in; it stood the winter, shot up in the spring, and last week was cut down, and a sample of it shown in the market, the same being of the beet descript4Que—Alandeater guardian, tookFRENCH PLAYS.

The scheme was not only different, but the grounds on which it was put forward were also altogether different. It was not a competing line with the Caledonian. Mr. Sergeant WRANGUAM replied, maintaining that the scheme was substantially the same as that brought forward last year. Whatever the Learned Gentleman on the other side might say to the contrary, he insisted the Nithsdale line was a c om p e ti ng li ne w ith the Caledonian Railway. It was held by the Committee last year that the two lines were competing schemes, and the Board of Trade held the same view of the question. The circumstances which related to the two lines then were precisely the same now, and he submitted that the reasons and evidence then adduced were necessary and admissible to clear up the case now. His Learned Friend might attempt to gild the Bill, by saying that they did not depend on general or through traffic, but on local traffic only, but the Committee, he was persuaded, would see that the issue was still substantially the same as that of last year, and would, in order to have all the necessary. information before them on the question, take steps for the production of the evidence sought to be obtained. The room was then cleared for a decision. • On the admission of the parties The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee would first inquire whether the evidence was such as to warrant on local grounds the construction of such line, and therefore they would not at this stage of the proceedings call for the evi dence adduced last year. Mr. W. Crawford, a landed proprietor, and a justice of the peace, and a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Ayr, was first called and examined—He lived about three miles from Kil marnock: Kilmarnock was an inland town, in the centre of the county, containing about 22,000 inhabitants. It had doubled its population the last thirty years. It was the largest town in the county engaged in carpet manufacturing, calico printing, shawl manufacturing, shoes, &c. A large nursery and seed trade was carried on in the neighbourhood. There was also large mineral fields in the neighbourhood, belonging to the Duke of Portland and Mr. Finnie. The former exported yearly about 100,000 tons of coal. The manufacturing towns and villages of Stewarton, Galston, Darvel, Newilas, and Kilmains, were all connected with Kil marnock. Troop, an important seaport, was connected with Kil• marnock by a mineral line, which was now being adapted to locomotives. He had prepared a table of the iron furnaces in the county, which showed 34 furnaces in all. This in cluded those in blast, erecting, or proposed to be erected. Each furnace would make about 100 tons a week. A line of railway was at present in progress from Kilmarnock to Cumnock, in connexion with the Nithsdale line, which would be in connexion with most of these iron furnaces. A line, with the consent of the landed proprietors, was to be constructed from Ayr, by Auchinleck, to Muirkirk. The line to the south proposed would be of immense benefit, as there was a large traffic in that direction, which could alone be efficiently accommodated by a direct line. A large portion of the traffic the present line would take went at present by the steamers from Ardrossan. The po pulation of Ayrshire was 200,000; and at a meeting of the Commissioners of Supply for the county, at which he was present, a petition in favour of the line was unanimously agreed to. The petitions in its favour from Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire were 51 in number. He had taken shares in the present line because he thought it would be of great public benefit, but he held shares in no other line, and he had taken them to qualify as a director. Cross-examined by Mr. Cocunuaw—He held 150 shares in the present company. Twenty were only required as a qualification fur a director. There were none of the iron furnaces on the proposed line from Cumnock and Dumfries. Between Glasgow and Kilmarnock there were the two furnaces, the Blair works, which were on the line. Between Kilmarnock and Cumnock there were six furnaces, and ,there were the Muirkirk, and other iron furnaces, on the private line from Muirkirk to Ayr. The iron made went to Glasgow, and none went to the south. It might be wanted hereafter for foundries at Dumfries, and elsewhere. Were the iron now exported, it would go to Troon and Ardrossan, and would continue to go there. There was coal along with the iron -stone, but there was at present no more coal than was required to make the iron. These mineral fields had abundant railway accommo dation at present, and towards the south they did not much require it. He thought coal would go south from the neigh bourhood of Cumnock, if the line was made. Thought the iron furnaces at present consumed all the coal. He thought the coal-fields would be worked to a greater extent, so as to furnish an extra supply. He had not, however, practical knowledge on the subject. It was mainly speculative. If the, iron making increased with the working of the coal fields, then there would not be much probability of coals going south. From Cumnock the mineral field extended to Sanquhar, with the exception of a little break. To Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—There was but one coach through to Dumfries, a two-horse coach; It had the through traffic from Glasgow to Carlisle. The coach ran from Kil marnock, in connexion with the railway, and obtained a good deal of support from that town. Mr. Hugh Craig, merchant, of Kilmarnock, examined by Mr. ANDREWS, deposed as to the character of the trade of that town. He had made himself acquainted with the details of the town. He was the largest mercer and haberdasher of the town, out of forty in the trade. Their goods came mainly from England; in weight about 300 tons, and in value about 100,000/. If the line was made these goods would come by it, but at present they were carried by water. At.present they were liable to be damaged, besides delay. Speed was a great object, which.the railway would realise. A large trade in tanning was at present carried on, the most of the bark for which came from Dum fries. There is also a large trade in boots and shoes; the most of these went to Liverpool, in weight about 100 tons. Of fancy linings, leather, &c., about 100 tons were exported from England. The largest ryegrass seed trade in the world was carried on here, of which two .thirds went to England. The weight would be about 1,300 tons, of the value of from 25,000/. to 30,000/: If the line was formed the seed would pass by it. A considerable traffic in fruit and other seeds also took place. A large amount of agricultural produce would come from Dumfriesshire into Ayrshire were the line formed. At pre sent the land carriage was very heavy. There was a large 'trade in ironmongery carried on in Kilmarnock, the most of which came from the south, in weight about 700 tons and in value 60,000/. Cross-examined—He bad heard the information he had given that day repeatedly stated by parties in the district. He was quite certain it was correct, as far as he had any means of acquiring information. The 300 tons of soft goods he mentioned as coming from the south came principally by Glasgow. There were houses in that town that supplied the inferior towns of Scotland with English goods. The connexion with Glasgow and England, was by means of large steamers daily to Liverpool, and from thence to London by railway. He did not think goods could be obtained from London that way in forty-eight hours. He found it about five or six days at present. Kilmarnock was the centre of a district of 100,000 inhabitants, most of whom purchased their woollen goods in Kilmarnock. He was eer Lain the wholesale and retail sale of English goods was in value 100,000/. He had no doubt they would come by the railway if one was made. Some might come by Glasgow, but he had no conception of the amount. Though Glasgow was nearer than London, if a line was formed, it would be to their interest to go to Lon don, though the expense would be greater. Under the cir cumstances that would be no object. With regard to the leather trade, the heavier portions of it went by the sail ing vessels. Dispatch, therefore, was not a great object in this article. He did not think goods from England to Kilmarnock would be taken cheaper by steam-vessels to Ardrossan than by railway. He could not state the rate per ton by the steamers. Of the ironmongery goods he had named about the half came by sailing vessels. He sup-. ported the line from a sense of public duty. He only held ten shares in the line. There was a large East and West India trade at Glasgow, Port Glasgow, and Greenock, but he did not think Kilmarnock would get its supplies of fine sugar from those places. With the railway they would be sup plied from London. To Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—Near all the ryegrass-seeds exported went by sea. About 600 men were engaged in Kilmarnock in the shoe-trade. A great number of shoes were consumed in the district, perhaps 100 tons more. A pair of shoes would be about a pound in weight ; and a man might make about a pair a day. Mr. MURPHY —I have made the calculation, and, accord- ini to it, I find that 600 men could only, at the weight of a pound a pair, make in a year 83 tons. How do you make that agree with your calculation ? Witness—A great number of women and children are engaged in the trade. Mr. Munmv—Whea did you ever know of women mak ing shoes ?—(Laughter.) Witness—They assist in making shoes. I can only say that lam certain the weight exported is 100 tons. Regarding the consumption in the district I cannot say what it would be. Witness (in continuation) said he knew the fares ;bv the steamer were less than they were by the railway; still he believed a large proportion of the traffic would go by the railway, on account of the quick ness. He calculated the railway fare, at 2d. per mile, to be 335. 6d. ; by steamboat it was U. Glasgow was the great centre of the trade of Scotland. The course of trade from Kilmarnock, especially in the shawl and printing trade 7 was by way of Glasgow. The goods mainly went to the Glasgow wholesale warehouses. The greater proportion of the drysalteries used at Kilmarnock came by way of Glasgow. Re-examined—lf the charge by the Nithsdale line to Liverpool was made at the rate of the Glasgow and Ayr line, 1 1 Ad. a mile, the fare would be but 255. That would be as cheap as going by steamer from Glasgow, as 4s. would be required to take a person there. They wanted to do buSiness direct with London, and not through middlemen at Glasgow. With regard to the shoe trade, he did not know but a man might make four pair a day. Besides the. 600 men engaged in Kilmarnock, a large number were employed in the adjoining villages. He could not say exactly tile weight of a pair of shoes, but he was sure the gross export was tons: To the CHArnmAri—He could not say what he paid at present for carriage per ton the goods went through many hands, and were often charged by bulk. He had goods from Manchester occasionally, and as near as he could say, the cost might be about 2/. a ton. He would prefer paying 31. 10s. a ton by railway to 21. by steamer. He could at pre sent get daily to Manchester through the Fleetwood steamers, but it was at a loss of time. Mr. Thomas Neill, a calico printer, of Kilmarnock, exa mined—He had a large establishment in Kilmarnock and a house in London. A ton of goods from Kilmarnock by Leith to London cost about 51.85. a ton. By Fleetwood and Liverpool the cost would be about 4t. 18s. These were their only modes of conveyance now. Had they a railway the greater part of the goods for the London market would go by it. In 1826 only 30 hands were employed in Kilmar nock in the printing trade. In 183 G there were nine works that employed 360 hands, and in 1846 there were eight works employing 880 hands, and with hands depending on these about 2,000 in all. In getting the fabrics printed to market, dispatch was everything. The value of the goods printed every year was about 400,000/., of which two-thirds went to England. The raw unprinted cloth came from Lancashire, in weight about 1,300 tons, and about 1,100 tons of finished goods returned. A great deal of drysaltery stuffs came from England. The railway would be of great advantage to the trade of the town, and the inhabitants were generally in its favour. Cross-examined—He worked mostly to order, through orders derived from Manchester and London, by the Glasgow houses. No orders came to him direct from London or Man chester. It was the wholesale dealers in Glasgow who pur chased from the printers. He had opened a house for the last four years for the accommodation of the wholesale trade. Nearly all the drysaltery came from Glasgow. To Mr. Sergeant Meni.liv—Great complaint was at pre sent made of Fleetwood route, as the goods often lay two or three days at Liverpool. He thought if the line was formed dealers, who wanted his particular kind of goods, would be content with buying at Kilmarnock, without going to Glas gow. He could not say that all the heavy goods would go by railway ; many might still go by steam and sailing vessels. All the goods at present went to Glasgow, and should the traders still continue to go there the goods, if a railway were preferred, might go south by tha Caledonian Railway ; still he saw no necessity for the goods going to Glasgow at all, but they might be sent direct to England from Kilmarnock. To the CHAIRMAN—There was railway accommodation from Kilmarnock to Ardrossan about fifteen miles in length. Re-examined—They bad tried the Fleetwood route, but goods were alway declined ; they preferred the Leith route as more certain. Mr. John Thompson, carpet manufacturer, of Kilmarnock, , examined-41e was one of the firm of Gregory, Thompson, and Co., the most extensive house in the trade. There wero999 halo la tide orpot OA of Tagok jilt bap a ployed 460. The value would be about 120,0001., ana weight 500 tons. A considerable portion of the wool used came from the south, and most of the manufactured goods went to London. Dispatch was of great importance in this trade. He had a house in London, and employed the Leith and London route for sending goods. The charge per ton was about 4/. 10s. To Liverpool the charge was 2/. 6s. a ton. He believed, if the line was formed, the greater portion of the goods he sent south would go by it. Cross-examined by Mr. Hom—They used the steamers by way of Leith. He had tried the Ardrossan and Fleet wood route, and found it very uncertain. The delay arose, he believed, at Fleetwood. He had a house in Glasgow as well as in London. There were about 500 looms in the town. There were considerable depOts of carpets in Glasgow, and considerable purchases were made by the dealers there. I J.

Mr. Wilson was shortly examined in corroboration of the evidence of the previous witness, when The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock. As the Committee was rising, Mr. TALBOT said he wished to intimate that he appeared for the Duke of Buccleucb, and would be prepared to address the Committee, should any alteration be made in the line that would injure the interest of his client. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM said the Duke of Buccleuch was a petitioner in favour of the line, and could not be heard by counsel on his petition. He objected, therefore, to his speaking at all, as the object of retaining him had been to deprive the opposite side of his services. After a conversation the matter dropped. The CHAIRMAN stated that the question whether Mr. Talbot should be heard was not them before them, no altera tion having as yet been made in the Bill: The Committee then rose.

PRICE OF SUGAR. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, flu.' Pro duce of the British possessions in America, computed Wont the returns made in the week ending July 14, 1846, is 3-is. 6',4d. per cwt. - - MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 17.) SUGA.R.—To-day there was an increased disinclinationt manifested by Grocers and Refiners to operate iu West India Sugar, in consequence of what transpired in the House of Commons last evening with respect to the Sugar Duties. The business transacted in all kinds was extremely limited, and the quantity sold did not exceed 200 'aids and tics. Refining kinds have generally brought prices equal to those of last Friday, but grocery sorts must be quoted at 6d per cwt cheaper. REFINED.—To- day Refined Sugar was in good demand for home consumption ; standard lumps could not be obtained under Os, and low brown lumps under 60s 6d, and the re finers show more firmness. The market for bonded Crush td Sugar is quiet. MAURMUS.—There has been little desire evinced to ope rate privately in any description, and 5,287 bags 2 casks at public sale this afternoon went at prices Is to 2s per cwt under those of the last auction, but the whole sold. EAST INDIA.—This afternoOn at public sale 917 bags or Madras Sugar brought to public sale, and nearly all taken in at about the former value. In Bengal there is little done, and former rates are not to be obtained. FOREIGN.—For yellow and brown llavannah there has been a falling off in the demand, but holders evince firmness, and insist upon fully previous rates. White is held for the former currency, but the purchases made have not been of much conseqaence, MOLASSES.—West India have met with little attention, and 154 puns 17 hhds 23 casks of Barbadoes at auction were taken in at 27s 6d, and 21 puns of St. Lucia at 23s 6d. COFFEE.—To-day there was more desire evinced to buy Mocha Coffee, and 535 bales 251 1 / 2 bales at auction were all sold at full market rates; 347 bags of Plantation Ceylon were nearly all taken in at stiffer rates. COCOA.—The best descriptions of West India have been purchased with more freedom, and in consequence of the small supply previous rates are well supported ; but for the low sorts reduced prices have been accepted. TEA.—In consequence of lower rates having been submit ted to for all kinds of Gunpowder, buyers have been induced to operate with more freedom, and large parcels were dis posed of. Imperial has declined in value, but several par cels have been sold. Twankay has met with little attention,. and prices are looking down. Hyson has met with little' attention, but holders generally are unwilling to reduce their prices. There are few orders for Young Hyson, and prices are drooping. Hyson Skin is little wanted. Scented Orange Pekoe is dull of sale, and holders experience difficulty in getting more than 2s per lb for fine. Holders of Black are reluctant to reduce their prices, and supply the market spaz ingly, but the trade have shown little desire to operate. CocniNEAL.—Arrivals having commenced to come in more freely have caused merchants to be desirous to realise this week, and they having supplied the market largely, has pro duced a decline on former rates of 3d to 6d on silvers, and 4d to Sd on black. RICE.—The demand has fallen off for Bengal, and the market continuing to be freely supplied, prices have slightly given way. Madras, however, has met with attention, and the parcels sold privately were at previous rates. Of Java there is yet little in the market. Prices do not improve for Cleaned Rice, but the demand has been good. Srices.—To-day Malabar Pepper was purchased with caution, and 4,000 bags at auction were all taken in at the full worth. For Cinnamon the demand is brisker and prices are firmer. Srinfra—There has bees less demand for Leeward Island, but holders remain firm. In Calcutta little business has been done. For Jamaica of all kinds the market has been in an active state this week, but in the value little variation has occurred. Demerara is held with firmness. Brandy has been purchased with increased freedom, and prices are advancing for all descriptions. Geneva has been less in demand, and lower rates are taken. For British Corn Spirits prices remain the same. INDIGo.—To-day during the progress of the sale 727 chests were withdrawn. The quantity which passed the sale this day is 898 chests. There is no material alteration to notice in the prices of consuming and middling to good shipping qualities, which are in good demand, but very fine sorts are decidedly cheaper. OILS.—A reduction on previous rates of lOs per tun having been submitted to for Seal Oil, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom. Cod is little wanted ; there are sellers at 281. Southern been purchased with caution, notwithstanding the cheapness of all descriptions. Sperm at present cannot be quoted cheaper. For Rape Seed Oil reduced rates have been taken, and the supply is large. Linseed Oil has met with little attention on the spot, and crushers experience difficulty in supporting prices. t r a T I iAa 'fallown t f vT w hi e s re at so te l rro 3 n o a c t as p k u s b s li o c ut s h al A e m l2B eli cas can k , s 3 o 7 f c A a s u k s s -65 barrels North, 97 casks first sort P.Y.C. taken in, and 32 casks Italian sold at lower pri ces.

Sin,—As I believe you are as much the organ of the free traders in the country as the Morning Advertiser is in London, I wish to state through you, that my house will be open for penny subscriptions to the statue of Sir Robert Peel, and that my customers in the army are anxious to show that they have their obligations as citizens as well as their duties as soldiers.—l am, Sir, &c., ALEXANDER SPENCI, Earl of Chatham's Arms, Thomas-street, Woolwich. July 16, 1846. DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER SAILOR GIRL IN LIVERPOOL. —Cases of this description are are now becoming so general that they cease to excite much interest. Yesterday a very beautiful female, about seventeen years of age, was detected in the act of passing herself off as a sailor on board one of our merchant vessels. It appears she came here from Omagh, in Ireland, and that having habitel herself in sailor's attire, she went upon the George's Pier. Here she met with a person in the garb of a captain, who said that he was willing to engage her upon the instant. With the cap tain she slept two nights, without his ever discovering her sex ; but upon Tuesday evening last, herself and the captain walked into the Police-office, High• street, to inquire after the name of a person residing in Bolton-street, and then the pre tended female sailor was immediately recognised by Mr. Leicester, the head clerk in the office. lie instantly said that she was a female, and it turned out that he was right; for, upon being questioned, she acknowledged that she was a farmer's daughter from Tyrone, and that she came here in sailor's attire, with the intention of going to sea. She is at present in a lodging-house at the top of Dale-street, and will be sent back to her parents without delay.—Gore's Liverpool Advertiser._ _ MR. " WYNDLIAM " AGAlN.—lntelligence has just bean received of some further " doings," of Mr. "Wyndham," whose swindling operations were successful in Windsor some weeks ago. It appears that shortly after he left Slough he proceed to the Royal Sussex Hotel, at Tonbridge Wells, where ho mixed in all the fashionable gaieties of the place for between four and five weeks, assuming the name of NVel- Insley. On the eve of his departure he called for his bill, which amounted to about 301. He then very coolly drew a cheque on a Gloucestershire bank for 501., and requested Mr. Dowsing, the superintendent of the establishment, to give him the difference in cash. Some little delay, however, having taken place before the waiter returned to his room with the expected change, it is supposed that the swindler's suspicions were excited, for he immediately left the hotel, and no tidings have since been heard of him. The 50/. cheque, which remains in the hands of Mr. Dowsing, upon being compared with the two cheques held by Mr. Dotesio, appeared clearly to be in the handwriting of the party who assumed the name of " Wyndham" at Windsor and Slough. He made his exit from the Royal Sussex hotel so rapidly that he left behind him his portmanteau, and took nothing with him but the clothes which he wore. It is supposed that he immediately left Tonbridge Wells by the railway foe VIVA. RAILWAY RETURNS. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with tho receipts of the same week in the previous year Weet ending Last week. NAME OF RAILWAY. gm • " E . t . zr, t - e.g ) Room B. LEICESTER AND BEDFORD. Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) This concluded the evidence for the Bill. Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., for the South Midlands Company, called, in opposition to the Bill, Earl Spencer, who spoke to the necessity of a railway to Northampton and the district between Northampton and Market Harborough. He said he presented a petition in favour of the South Midlands branch from about 1,700 of the inhabitants of Northampton. Mr. Vernon Smith, M.P. for Northampton, gave evidence corroborative of Earl Spencer. He said he had looked gene rally to the scheme before the Committee and the South Midlands scheme, and he gave his decided preference to the latter, as it gave the best local accommodation, uniting two country towns, Northampton and Huntingdon, which were omitted by the other line. He did not think the district through which the line before the Committee passed would maintain an independent line. He was a shareholder of the South Midlands line. Mr. Sergeant WitANGIIAM cross-examined the witnesses. The Committee then adjourned till eleven on Monday. Room C. riLACKMURN, DARWEN, AND BOLTON. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Committee decided that counsel for the petitioners should be heard. Mr. Joshua Knowles, of Tottington, was examined, and gave evidence in support of the line. Mr. George Millington, calico printer and lessee of the Wharton Vale Works was next examined, and stated that if the present line were establi s h e d it would effect a great saving in the transit of his goods, as well as for the dyes, &c., used in the process of his business, and that he fully con curred in the evidence of the preceding witness as to the general benefits of the line. This witness was cross-examined at length, but without eliciting anything againt his direct testimony. Room D. GLASGOW, DUMMIES, AND CARLISLE. A Committee on the merits of this Bill, consisting of the following Peers, met to-day in Room D in the New Houses of Parliament ; Earl St. Germans, chairman, Viscount Canning, Lord Orford, the Earl of Charleville, and Lord Ducie. The Noble CHAIRMAN, before the proceedings commenced, expressed a hope that, looking to the long preliminary pro ceedings on the Bill before the House of Commons, the coun sel on both sides would exercise their best discretion in ab staining from the introduction of irrelevant matter. He threw out the suggestion in the expectation that the Learned Gentlemen would take the hint in good part, and act upon it. The Learned Counsel present expressed themselves obliged to the Noble Chairman for his hint, and promised to keep the suggestion in view in their examinations. Counsel for the promoters of the Bill, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Talbot ; for the opponents (the Caledonian Railway Company), Mr. Sergeant Wrangbam, Mr. Cock burn, and Mr. Sergeant Hope. Mr. Sergeant Murphy appeared for a petitioning landed proprietor. Mr. ANDREWS opened the case on behalf of the promoters. He said the object of the present Bill was to form a line of railway from a point near to Cumnock, in the county of Ayr, through the yally of the Nith, to a point south on the Caledonian Railway, near to the crossing of the river Sark; the great object being to connect the populous and important county of Ayr with the north of England, and at the same time to accommodate the inhabitants of the county of Dumfries generally. Besides the main line, there were two branches proposed to be formed, the one called the Crawick branch, from Sanquhar to a point on the Caledonian Rail way;- and another to the south, on a point near to the cros sing of the river Sark, to a place called Canobie. The main line was sixty-four miles long ; the Crawick branch was sixteen miles ; and the Canobie branch seven miles. There were no engineering difficulties, and the estimates were amply sufficient for the works pro- . _ posed. The Hon. Gentleman here followed the route of the line, explaining the character of the country proposed to be accommodated, and the necessity there was for railway ac commodation. Ho explained that the district in Ayrshire which required the line of railway was an important manu facturing and mineral one, of which Kilmarnock was the centre, and that the inhabitants were generally in favour of it. Dumfriesshire, on the other end of the line, was an important and highly improving agricultural district, the population of which was also strongly in favour of the line. The great o a f d advantage a p g r e o expected ducts o f t h b e y s. an object which could only be accomplished present. In fact, there w as no ot her means of supplying abiyimeansisic of a railway like the trparties was a mutual exchange two districts, this large .tract 'of country. but by such a li ne o f railway. opponent of the line was the Caledonian The principal Company, who complained that it would damage their interests by taking awa y their traffic. Now he would beg leave to call the sttention of the Committee to the fact that the Nithsdale line was heard a few weeks ago in contrast with an extension scheme of the Caledonian Company for fourteen days before the Committee of the House of Com mons, and the result was, the rejection of the branches of the Caledonian, and the affirmation of the preamble of the pre- Sent Bill. It was then satisfactorily shown that this line was imperatively require& and that the Caledonian line would rot suffer from competition in the manner its promo ters feared. But not only did that Committee decide in favour of th i s Bill, but the subject was subsequently debated in the House itself, and the Bill was affirmed by a large majority. In fact the fears of the Caledonian Company were altogether exaggerated, as they would still command all the north of. Scotland traffic Uy the Scottish Central, through Stirling, as well as the Glasgow and Edinburgh traffic. The only other opponent of the Bill was a landowner, which he had not the least doubt was only covertly appear. ing for the Caledonian Company, and the disposal of the op position of the one would also settle that of the other. The Learned Gentleman having asserted that the scheme was altogether different from the one adjudicated on last year in competition with the Caledonian, and that it was now solely promoted as a local line, and having gone into several particulars of the line for which he appeared, traffic, engi.. neering, peculiaritieF, concluded by proceeding to call his witnesses on behalf of the Bill. Mr. Sergeant Wita2lollA3l, before the evidence was gone into, begged leave to make an application to the Committee. The Learned Gentleman who had spoken had made reference to what took place last year, and as it was evident reference in the course of the inquiry would have to be made to what then took place, he would beg leave to ask the Noble Chair man to move the House to refer the evidence taken before the Committee of last year to the present Committee. Mr. ANDREWS objected to the application on the ground that the issue now to be tried was different to that tried last year. The question then tried was, which of two great lines should be made to accommodate the south of Scotland generally : now the point raised was totally different. They had now to oonoider the PrefrlotY of coutrackihg 6 Liao for JUNCTION. The standing orders were complied with in this case. BLACKBURN, PRESTON, AND EAST LANCASHIRE AMALGAMATION.
