The next allegation was to the effect that the properties situated 'mar the Bradford and Leeds and the Wakefield and Leeds Branches were not numbered in the book of reference deposited with the clerk of the peace of the West Biding. For the promoters it was alleged that the numbers were entered upon the pages, which disappeared from the book after it was depo sited with the clerk of the peace. The Committee decided that the allegation was sustained. The next allegation charged that the levels, as laid. down in the sections deposited, were inaccurate to an antotust from six to sixteen feet in the depth of the cuttings. _ _ _ After the engineering evidence in support of the allegation had been received, Mr. GREcoaY, for the projectors, said that he would admit that between the pints set forth there was an error of about ten feet, hoping that the engineer, Mr. Murphy, would give such an explana tion as would enable the Committee to report favourably for the promoters on this point. Mr. 'Murphy, being examined at some length, explained that the error was occasioned throughout by one mistake made in casting up the figures at the commencement of the levelling, that is, at the Wakefield end of the branch.—Allegation sustained. Kr. 1 Rirr, for the petitioners, then said that this concluded their case. The Committee then proceeded 'with the BRISTOL ANZ UMOUC7-‘STEM.(GI.OI.7CESTER ANI) STONMEiousz, 3UNC ~ The object of the Bill is to carry on the Bristol and Gloucester Bac from Stonehouse to Gloucester, a l eng th of about 8% miles, so as to complete in that direction the r a il way communication between Bristol and Birmin:;liam. engireer is Mr. It. Stephenson ; the r.gent, Mr. D ,rringtod ; the soneurors, Mr. Carter, of Birmingham, and Mr. Addison, of Gloucester. The estimated cost is 100,000/. There was a petition against the Bill, bat Mr. Witt, who repre sented the petitioners, did not propose to press it. The formal evidence having been gone through, the standing orders were declared to have been complied with. I :CHE 3 7 .ICZ,ISNIEEAD, WINCASTatt, OTlOwiTgtiay it was gazetted as a final measure. And ever since that time still further delays in the discussion of the phme have taken place. The Ministers of every Government office happened, in this ease, to have different opinions with respect to these plans, co that more time has been lost than we at first anticipated. directors hoped, when in Brussels lu May last, that they should have had a portion of the line opened by this time, but where the opinions of large bodies must be had, it is fuund difficult to get them to move as fast as we could wish. However, Gentlemen, we s a u r e c 1 11 a t I f a s o rw t a s t r lv t o s r t k a t, w as t o lead s s u confidently, a t l o t d h t o h p e o i r th w a o t r k w s e a s r h c a l l u l be enabled, in Au l ltust next, to open nine miles of the best portion of the line. We have had one change In the direction caused by the resignation of Mr. Coltman, who found it impossible, on account of his numerous engagements, to attend properly to the duties of a director in this Company, and we have filled up the I vacancy by electing a gentleman well acquainted with Belgium and the most influential parties in it, Mr. Al e x. Greig. Th ere i s one item in the report which will, perhaps, surprise some of you, that we have effected a loan of 16,0001. This did not arise from any want of meene, as we knew perfectly well, if we had sought more money from the shareholders, that we should have received it ; but we thought, by obtaining that sum in the shape of a loan, that It would save the inconvenience and loss of time necessary to make up a capital of five millions of francs, which we were compelled to deposit with the Belgian Government. We could effect a loan sooner than a call, and we, therefore, borrowed this sum at 41. per cent., and invested it at C I per cent. interest, so that we have not done much harm; in fact we have re alised a profit on the transaction! rather than lost by it. There would have been no difficulty in obtaining the amount frost the shareholder, because we have 5,000 or 3,000 shares which We might have forfeited, and thus realised a considerable amount if we had thought proper; but we have not done so, because we believe they have cot beta taken through accident, in IN hich opinion we are confirmed by gei itlemen who have arrived from ahread stating that they were ignorant of the fact that shares in the Company had been allotted to them, some of wltom, on paying St. percent., have been allowed to take them upon. Those who have not yet paid in their shares will no doubt soon do so. 10,C00/. out of tile 16,1001., to which I have referred is deposited in the Belgium funds. I thought I would explain to you the affairs of this undertaking in the way I have done, be cause I imagined I could do so inure familiarly than through au official report, which, however, contains a statement of our proceed ings, and a great deal of information which you are no doubt desirous to know. I shall therefore call on the secretary to read it. The SECRETARY then read the report, which simply described the course of the hue and the produce of the various districts which it is designed to benefit. The concluding paragraphs stated that the directors could not refrain from congratulating the shareholders on their possession, for a term of ninety years, of a railway whirl! not HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. LOCKHART complained of the non-attendance of the Members appointed to the Setect Committee on this Bill. He thought that it was very unfair that the promoters of the Bill should be saddled with the expenses which these delays occa sioned, and moved that the Committee on the Glasgow Water works Bia be again revived, and have leave to sit on Thursday, At twelve o'clock. Mr. FOX MAULE thought there was something that • re quired correcting in the mode in which the Select Committees were conducted. These delays, whether created by the ab sence of the appointed Members, or by the absence of the parties connected with the Bill, entailed considerable expense on the promoters, at d were highly objectionable. Mr. ESTCOURT was very glad that the subject had been brought before the House, as it would lead to the more re gular attendance of the Members appointed to the Select Committees. It seems it was stated to the promoters, that if they fixed the time for the meeting of the Committee for Mon. day, it was quite impossible for them to attend, as they would not have an opportunity of being made aware of the circum stance.

He was anxious to know when the whole of the scheme was to be brought forward, and he complained of the absence of the Right Hon. Baronet from the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid that the ab sence of the Right Hon. Baronet arose from public business. The measures that had been alluded to were in a state of pre paration, and would be brought forward immediately. There was every disposition on the part of the Government to put the House in possession of all these measures. (LEFT SILTING.) Dividend Amount Name of Company, per of Paid. Price, Annum.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) His Iloxoux, at the conclusion of the case, gave judgment allowing the demurrer, considering that the gift of Christo pher Flaherty came within the provisions of tile law of mortmain. Mr. BOUVERIE considered that those Members should be reported to the House who did not attend to the Com mittees appointed them. Lord G. SOMERSET considered the promoters to blame, as they had been informed of the impossibility of the members of the Committee attending on Monday, but notwithstanding this notice they had appointed the Committee for that day. Mr. BARNARD thought that the Committee of Selection ought to appoint a larger number of Members for each Com mittee, and that a certain penalty should be imposed on such of them as neglected to attend. Mr. AGLIONBY did not quite understand the Hon. Mem ber for Greenwich. The Committee of Selection had exe cuted their duties exactly as they had been authorised and directed to do by the House. They first ascertained chat Members were most likely to attend the Com mittees, if appointed to serve on them. Letters were invariably sent, at an early reriod of the session, to the Members of the House to inquire whether they would sit as members of Committees, and also inquiring on what days it would be most convenient for them to sit. In every instance be believed that the Committee of Selection consulted the con venience of Members as much as they possibly could. The lion. Member for Greenwich had also suggested that a much greater number of the selected Members should be appointed to sit. But that would only increase the inconvenience; they had even a great difficulty in finding a sufficient number as it was. They had no means of compelling their attendance, and the consequence was that towards the end of the session they would scarcely muster a quorum, if the House thought that the present system should be remedied they ought to take the subject into their own hands. He hoped that what had been said would have the effect to calling the attention of those Members who had been appointed to serve on Committees, but did not at present perform their duties in a satisfactory merincr. He hoped that they would do as much as they could to prevent the unnecessary delay and expense to which the public were put in consequence of their non-attendance.

The insolvent in this ease, who was a captain in the navy, now on half-pay, applied for his interim order. His debts were stated at about 10,000/, and be off,red to set aside 25/. a year out of his half-pay, which was 218/. per annum, for the gradual liquidation of his debts. Mr. Tucker ' as solicitor for the i nso l ven t, sa id t h at 7,0001. odd out of the 10,0001., stated to be debts, were liabilities. He was captain of a certain vessel, and he undertook to take care of a cargo for a person. The ship was wrecked, and an action was tried and decided against the insolvent. The cargo was worth about 5,000/. "Captain Bonchier has been residing abroad for some time, and he came here at the request of his creditors, all of whom, with the exception of one or two, to the extent of about 3004 were willing to accept the proposi tion of 25/. a year. The insolvent, on examination, stated that he t oo k t h e benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act in 1835, with debts to the amount of 9,000/, which were all paid, with the exception of about 900/, by gradual payments of 401. a year out of his half-pay. That sum was stopped by Government. His daughters never kept an academy in France, and they were never in one. He had resided in France, where he hired a house anc furniture at 80/ per annum, but there was no furniture in France of his own. The insolvent had made voyages to India, during which lie had been very unfortunate. He had resided in Ostend, but he had no pro perty there. His wife had a private income souse four or five years since, and she sold it to pay off an over-due bill upon which an action hid been brought; and in conse quence of it the insolvent had suffered ekver. months' impri sonment in France. Mr. RYDER, as solicitor for a Mr. Yates, said he appeared to Oppose upon the ground that the insolvent had contracted a debt of 50/. with his client in Belgium, without any reason able means of payment. Mr. TUCKER said the insolvent had no indea of taking the benefit of the Insolvent Act when he contacted these debts, and his son, who was second mate in a shi?„would have paid Mr. Yates. Had the creditors not reque.sted his client to come to this Court, he would not. Uuder ail the circum stances of this case, he (Mr. Tucker) hoped the Court would grant the interim order. The Learned CONMISSIONER, looking at all the facts of the case, granted the interim order. The insolvent will pay 25/. a year to his creditors.
