The consideration of the nteritpW.e above lines, which' though under different names and in different Bills, 'orin together but one scheme, having been referred to elect Committee, consisting of Lords Denbigh, Monteagle, •-ingstm , 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 promoter s o f t h e B ill were r e presented b y Mr. A ust i n, Mr, Talbot, M r . S ergea n t Kinglake,Mr. Merrivale, and Mr. Montagne Smith ; and the supporters of the Cornwall and Devon Central, a line originally competing with this, but thrown out on th e standing orders by the Committee f the Howie of Commons, were represented by Mr. Cockburn. The latter gentleman, and Messrs. Hope, James, Rowe,. Hume, tee, 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 discuesieu arose, the result of which was that the Committee refused to hear the opposition on the part of the competing project. Mr. AusTrx then proceeded to open the caan 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 Penult, to Falmouth. The length of the line was 63 miles. There was a branch to Bodinin and Padstow, the length of which was 15 miles, and the estimate was about 1,500,000/. Teo West Cornwall line was :a continuation front Trutt to Penzance. Kew 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 .leter: .lemanded, and many at tempts to establh them had been nook, bar up to the year 1844 none had been successful. In the beginning of that year—in March, he believed—a meeting was held at Truro, at which resolutians 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 re-surveyed. It cane 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 Lord's Fortescue, Wodehouse, and Clinton the other mem leers. 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 730,00 CL The recommendation of Lord Ellenborough's Committee as to the alteration of the levels, curves, &c., bad been fully carried out. The gradients in the old scheme were in some cases lin 54, 1 in 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 365,0001. The Learned Counsel, on concluding his address, proceeded to call witnesses in favour of the line. 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:Kareeck; - 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.

Lonsdale in the chair. X.MICZSICEIt AND 1 ED7oR.D. Some formal evidence from the land valuers closed the case far the promoters of the line. The CILAIitMAN intimated to counsel, that evidence had not been laid before the Committee to show that there would be sufficient passenger and particular traffic to support the line. Mr. PAGrr said he had only abstained from_ calling evi dence more in detail, that he might save the time of the Committee: He then proceeded to call Mr. Robert Smith, who said he had taken the number of passengers from*London to Derby, who would travel by the Bedford and Leicester Railway as the shortest route, and found it to be 606,000 of the first class, and 728,500 of the second class. The witness produced detailed tables of traffic of persons, horses, and carriages, and agricultural produce, which were put in and proved byother witnesses. 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 thenecessitv of a railway to Northampton and the district between gorthampton 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, 11. 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 wouhl maintain an independent line. He was a shareholder of the South Midlands line. Mr. Sergeant WitANGIIAM cross-examined the witnesses. The C(immitteo then adjourned till eleven on Monday. Room O. The Members of this new Committee, consisting of Lord Hetherton, the Chairman; Lord Scarborough, Lord Bexley, Lord Effingham, and Lord Foley, assembled to day at eleven o'clock. The following Bills are comprised in this group, via.:— Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton, London and Blackwall (widening), Richmond (Kew branch), Enfield and Edmonton. imAczmunN, BlLE,Vizzr, AND BOLTON. Mr. MERREWETHER opened the case for this Bill, and de scribed the line as being peculiarly suited to the wants of the district through which it passed. A long discussion ensued between the counsel for the Bill and Mr. Sergeant Wranghatn, as to the right of the peti tioners against the Bill to be heard. 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 established it would effect a great saving in the transit of his goods, as 'well as for the dyes, &c., used in the process el 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, ZUVIVR3O3S, AND ciuuraszas. A Committee on the merits of this Bill, consisting of the following Peers, met to-day in Room Din the New Houses of Parliament; Earl St. Germane, chairman, Viscount Canning, Lord Orford, the Earl of Charleville, and Lord Ducie. The Noble CIIAIRMAN b e f o re the proceedi ngs commence d , expressed a hope that, i o oking to the long preliminary pro ceedings on the Bill before the House of Commons, the coml. • eel on both sides would exercise their best discretion in ab staining from the intrbduction of irrelevant matter. He their ex h a i tu nt i , nuti and ous. ed t threw out the suggestion in the expectation p t r h o a m t i t s he Learned eekp Gentlemen would take the hint in g ood pa r t , and act upon it. The Learned Counsel pres ent expressed themselves obliged theto the suggestion Noble fo t r he Couikel for the promoters of the Bill, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Austin, and Mr. Talbot ; for the opp on ents (the Caledonian Railway Company), Mr. Sergeant Wrangli arn , Mr. Cock burn, and Mr. Sergeant Hope. appeared for a petiti on i ng Mr. Sergeant Murphy landed proprietor. Mr. ANDREWS opened the case on behalf of the promoters. He said the object of the present the county of in n point south on Bill was to f orm a line of the Caledonian Railway, near t o the crossing of the river rail A y r w: Sark; the great object being t o conn ect the populous and a t y h r o fr u o g m h t a h o p o l ln a ft y n eoafr the to C ic u t n t h ut , o t c o k , a important count!, 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 Cal e d on i an 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. He 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 lice. The great advantage expected by all parties was a snutual exchange of the products of the two districts, an object which could only be accomplished by means of a railway like the present. In fact, there was no other means of supplying this large tract of country but by such 4 liito of rallyray. ULY 18, 1846. The principal opponent of the line was the Caledonian Company, who complained that it would damage their interests by taking away their traffic. Now he would beg leave to call the attention of the Committee to the fact that the Nithsdale line was heard a few weeks ago in contrast with au extension scheme of the Caledonian Company for fourteen days before the Cemmittee 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 required, and that the Caledonian line would rot suffer front competition in the manner its promo ters feared. But not only did that Committee decide in favour of this Bill, but the subject was subsefirently debated in the House itself, a n d th e 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 by the Scottish Central, through Stirling, as well as the .Glasg-ow and Edinburgh traffic. The only other opponent of the Bill wasa landowner, which he had not the least doubt was only covertly appear • mg for theCaledonian 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 row solely promoted as a local' line, and having gone into several particulars of the line for which be appeared, traffic, engis neering, peculiarities &c., concluded by proceeding to call his witnesses on behalf of the Bill. Mr. Sergeant WKANGIIA3I, before the evidence was gone into, begged leave to make an application to the Committee. The Learned Gentleman who had spoken bad made reference to what took place last year, and as it was evident reference in the courss of the inquiry would have to be made to what then took place, he would beg leave to ask the Noble Chair man t;') move the House to refer the evidence taken before the Committee of last year to the present Committee. Mr. Axnessws 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 lie made to accommodate the south of Scotland generally: now the point raised was totally different. They had now to consider the propriety of constructing a line for the purpose of local traffic. 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 WRANGIIAM 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 competing line with 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 traflip only, but the Committee, he was persuaded, would see thill 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. CriwilTrj,aEnded 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. Troon, 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. COCKBURN—He held 150 shares in the present company. Twenty were only required as a qualification for a director. There were none of the iron between iNiasgirw --- idia -- - 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 Ardrossar, 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 he much probability of coals going south. From, Cumnock the mineral field extended to Satiquhar, with the exception of a little break. To Mr. Sergeant Warily—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 moat 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 25,0001. to 30,0001. 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 comefrom 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 60,0001. Cross-examined—He had 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 lie 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. lie found it about five or six days at present. Kilmarnock was the *entre of a district of 100,000 inhabitants, most of whom purchased their woollen goods in Kilmarnock. lie was certain 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 wo u ld b e t o th e i r i nterest 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 Munrirr—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 ing to it, I find that GOO 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. WernY—When 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 :by 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 die quick ness. He calculated the railway fare, at 2d. per mile, to be 335. 6d. ; by steamboat it was 11. Glasgow was the great centre of the trade of Scotland. The course of trade from Kilmarnock, especially in the shawl and printing trade, was by way of Glasgow. The goods mainly went to the Glasgow wholesale warehouses. The greater proportion of he 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, 11Qd, 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 slay. Besides the 600 men engaged in Kilmarmick, a large number were employed in the adjoining He could 119 t jay exactly On PRICE SD. weight of a pair of shoes, but he was sure the gross export was 100 tons. To the CHAirmx!"—He could not say what he paid at present for carriage per ton the goods went through many hands, and were (den charged by bulk. He had goods from Manchester occasionally, and as near as he could say, the cost might be about 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 Fleetwoodsteamers; 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 mid a house in Landon. A ton of goods from Kilmarnock by Leith to Loudon cost about :51. Bs. a ton. By Fleetwood and Liverpool the cost would be about 41. 18c. '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 1836 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 Wont 40e,000/, of which two-thirds went to. England. The raw imprinted 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 farour. 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 front the printers. Ile had opened a house for the last four years for the accommodation of the wholesale trade. Nearly all the drysaltery came front Glasgow. To Mr. Sergeant MunrisY—Great complaint, was at pre sent made of Fleetwood route, as the goods often lay two or three days at Liverpool. Ile 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. Ile could not. say that all the heavy good's would go by railway ; many Might still go. by steam and sailing vessels. All the goods at present went to Glasgow, and shoukt the traders still continue to ;41•0 there - the goo , * 11• 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 besent direct to England from Kilmarnock. To the CHAIRMAN—There was railway accommodation from Kilmarnock to Ardrossan about fifteen miles in length.- Re-examined—They had 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—He was one of the firm of Gregory, Thompson, and Co., the most es.tensive house in the trade. There were 900 hands in the carpet trade, of which his house em ployed 460. The value would be about 120,0001., and the 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 41. 10s. To Liverpool tLe 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 ➢ir. Horn—They used the steamers by way of Leith. lie 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. • To Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—Goods sent by sailing vessels from Glasgow to Liverpool were charged about hss. a ton. Mr. Wilson was shortly examined in corroboration of the evidence of the previous witness, when - • • • - The C,Ommittee 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 W'R.INGHAM said the Duke of Buceleuch was a petitioner in favour of the line, and could not be heard by counseLon his petition. lie objected, theretOre, 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 questioh whether 1111. Talbot should be heard was not then before them; no altera tion having as yet been made in - the Bill. The Committee then rose. • STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour, Lord Shaftesbury in the chair.

EDINBURGH ; WEDNESDAY.—The declaration of the poll took place to-day at twelVe o'clock, on the hustings in High street. There was an immense crowd present, not less, we should think, than six or seven thousand. The SHERIFF having taken his place on the hustings, said —I have now, in terms of the statute, to declare the result of the poll for the election for the city of Edinburgh, which was held ;yesterday. The number of electors who polled for the Right Hon. Mr. Macaulay was I,73s—(Cheers. and hisses)—and for Sir Culling Smith, 832—(Cheers, and hisses) —making a majority in favour of Mr. Macaulay of 903. (Cheers, and hisses.) I accordingly make this declaration and proclamation, that, accordieg to the result of the poll, Mr. Macaulay has been duly elected a Member of Parliament for the city of Edinburgh.—(Cheers, and hisses.) Mr. MAcauLay then presented himself, amidst mingled cheers and hisses, and proceeded to address the meeting at some length in a strain of his usual fervid and effective eloquence. Sir CULLING SMITH followed, and during his efforts to ob tain a hearing, a scene of the utmcst confusion prevailed. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG, M.P., then came forward amid great cheering, mingled With hisses, which lasted for several minutes. When order had been in some degree restored, the Hon. Member proceeded, in a vigorous and effective speech, to reply to the remarks of Sir Culling Smith, and to comment on the mixed and motley character of the party supporting him. In the midst of the uproar the Sheriff left the hustings, after a vote of thanks had been moved to him by Mr. Logan, advocate. Sir C. E. SMITH then came forward and attemAted to oh. tain a hearing but finding it in vain, bo - wed...l4a fgrewell. The multitude then quietly dispersed. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last ;Sight's Gazette.)
