GENTLEMEN, IRETURN you my sincere thanks for the honour which you have this day conferred upon me by electing me 9:te of your Representatives in Parliament. I assure you that I estimate most highly the importance of the po sitkm to which you have raised me. On all occasions I will endea vour to prove that I am truly grateful for the distinction. I go to Parliament backed by the weight and authority of one of the most important constituencies in England :—supported by that authority, I hope I may be influential in promoting those measures which will extend the commerce, advance the education, and increase the happiness of our countrymen. By a sound and liberal system of education we shall raise the moral, and, by freeing trade from re strictions, we shall improve the physical condition of the people, and, In my opinion, we shall thus give increased sec:trlty to property, and more firmly establish our free institutions. There are, I am aware, other subjects which will at no distant pe riod demand the attention of our rulers ; but those which 1 have mentioned appear to me to deserve precedence, as they most nearly affect the well-being of the great mass of the community. It will give me great pleasure to attend to that part of my duty which relates to the local affairs of the county ; and I invite you on all occasions to communicate freely with me respecting them. I remain, your faithful servant, WILLIAM BROWN. Richmond -hill, Liverpool, July 21, 1846. RAILWAY SHARES BY PUBLIC SALE. MESSRS.

Having already recorded the unanimous return 0: free-trade representatives by the two most extensive constituencies in the kingdom—namely, the West Riding of Yorkshire and the City of London—it is with more than ordinary gratification, that we an nounce a similar proceeding on the part of the next largest constituency in Great Britain, namely, the constituency of South Lancashire. The electors of this most important locality assembled yesterday at Newton, and returned, not merely unopposed, but with acclamation, as their representative in Parlia ment, Mr. WILLIAM BROWN, whose name is so honourably associated with the demonstrations for commercial emancipation made at Manchester and Liverpool. Did any uncertainty exist in the minds of individuals as to the intellectual efficacy of the League—as to the popular opinitm having under gone a thorough transformation on the subject of political economy—as to the irresistible under-current of public opinion having safely borne the vessel of commerce over the sandbanks and breakers of monopoly, by which it was hitherto surrounded and endan gered—as to the satisfaction, and not only the satisfac tion, but the gratitude with which the English people have watched the recent proceedings of their states men—that uncertainty would be altogether dispelled by the attendant circumstances of each successive election. These circumstances we have already had the gratification of particularising in a variety of in stances. We have, as evidenced in the re-election of Viscount MORPETH, observed the passive, and the more earnest, because the more passive, unanimity of an enfranchised community, seated in deliberate tranquillity under the shadow of roofbeams, and re turning—unhesitatingly and earnestly—a free-trade candidate as the exponent of their opinions in the House of Commons. We have observed these things, and have meanwhile borne in recollection the fact that those identical constituencies were wont, formerly, to assemble in uproarious multitudes out of doors, to elect, in that same responsible capa city—sometimes with opposition, sometimes without opposition—the upholder of the most stringent system of miscalled protective imposts. Such are the moral changes which have transpired even within our own immediate recollection—changes as startling and as impressive in their operation upon the intellect of a whole nation as the alterations effected in the material crust of this globe by volcanic eruptions and convulsions. Geology does not unfold to us a more astonishing series of phenomena than that disclosed by history in the intellectual and political fluctuations of a people. Insomuch are we impressed with the accu racy of this notion, that we are persuaded the advo cates of the protective system will, before many years have rolled away, be regarded with some such cu riosity and astonishment as an Ichthyosaurus and a Megatherium—monsters of a by-gone age—to be labelled in the compartments of a museum ! Almost equally striking, we repeat it, are the transformations observable in the annals "of geology and of political history. Of this circumstance no more coneltuive evidence could be adduced than that afforded by the election of Mr. BROWN for South Lancashire. When it is remembered that this constituency was only vacated by the elevation of its Tory represen tative to the House of Peers—that this identical free -trade candidate, Mr. BROWN, was formerly re jected by this identical constituency—that it had hitherto through its Parliamentary mouthpiece en deavoured to perpetuate the despotism of monopoly— and that now Mr. BROWN appealed to them for their suffrages, after having been entreated so to do by a requisition enforced by the signatures of considerably more than half of the entire consti tuency—when these remarkable circumstances are borne in mind, and coupled with others of a similar character which have transpired in various quarters of Great Britain, no one will deny the accuracy of our original position. With these irrefragable facts staring them in the face, no one will now have the audacity to maintain that the League has not worked marvels on the popular intellect, that an under-current of public opinion has not urged on wards the adoption of free-trade measures, that the people of this country are not animated by sentiments of gratitude towards the statesmen who have con ferred upon them a boon so precious. Although the cautious opinions expressed by Mr. R. H. GREG upon the occasion of this interesting election were unquestionably dictated by a sagacious forethought, we cannot sympathise with that gentleman in all his anticipations as to the disappointments and chagrin which have still to Le encounterEd by the advocates of unre stricted commerce. Our expectations have not a colouring so sombre and lugubrious. We believe that a machine has now been set in motion which human ignorance can never stop, and which all the petty obstacles of a discontented clique can never by possibility retard. Some minor hitches must undoubtedly be felt in the first workings of a machine so colossal, but, saving these, it is con structed upon a principle so noble, so natural, and so symmetrical, that we believe implicitly that the ag gregate of its produce will be found to be—happiness. The new Member for South Lancashire has at once proclaimed his antagonism to the differential duties on sugar, his anxiety to see Ireland treated as an integral part of England, his yearning for a re orginization of the Poor-laws, his interest in the sanitary condition of the populace, and his resolve to facilitate, if possible, their better education. By explaining himself thus candidly and liberally upon so many exigent points of legislation, Mr. BROWN has worthily responded to the feeling of his constituents, and is justifying even in his inaugura tive address the wisdom which has guided them in their selection. Mr. WILLIAMS deserves much credit for the manner i co n r to e ln h inisi he nonis c b t m l: o d untta t . h: mla a go t hs t tet cordially tQ i c. o r n at a o ,le f i yp t r h de e os e . H wt eo system s e t e of m ai verity fg there agree with him on the iroptoper' and undue 'se verity entire code, and the imperative necessity that exists for its revision and amendment ; in fact, the articles of war shouil be altogether remodelled, and an extensive alteration and reform should take place therein. 'We trust that the opportunity will not be cast away by our liberal Government. By their past conduct they lave afforded the strongest testimony that abuses and grievances will not be suffered to continue in force .merely because they are ancient, and have had an ,existence for centuries ; and they have it now within their power to sweep away the grossest and most crying evil—the most flagrant in fringement on the liberty of the British subject. The entire system o. naval impressment is repug nant to the feeling of ev, 'try man of common humanity, of every one who thinks: that his fellow-man should be treated with comme al justice. Philanthropists condemn in the strongest ter ms the practice of steal ing men and selling th em into slavery, an d we hope and believe that ti ere are few Britons, certainly not one worthy of the name, wh o could sanction or support so atrocious a practice ; and yet that 'which excites out 'deepest indignation, and demands rind receives our w armest sympathy for the unfortunate victim, when I perpt grated on those of other countries, colours, and la.aguage I, too q fre uently takes place within our owls clonal:ions? fellow-subjects, on British citizenr, whose on our liberty we are bound to protect, without attrac!ing extraor dinary notice, or calling ft firth any -general and indig nant remonstrance, without inflanaini 3 the public mind, and producing an universi tl outer;, I and demand for its immediate redress. They. British sailor, who has been absent for years from his net/A 10 country, who has, perhaps, j ust returned v rith his h aa . dly-earned and well-deserved savings, may at :the very hour of his arrival be seized and torn from his home and friends, without an opportunity being afforded to him of seeing the one or enjoying the so ciety of the other : in vain may the fond wife expect the cheering presence of the partner of her affections, for whose return she has so anxiously looked forward, so earnestly prayed. At the very mo ment of his expected presence she hears the bitter tale of his being kidnapped away, and sent, perhaps, for many years to a foreign and unhealthy climate, during which period she may nine under the hope deferred which maketh sick the heart. In vain may the widowed mother look for the return of her gallant boy, to be the comfort and solace of her solitaryhome; the same inexorable policy has doomed her child to the loss of liberty, to a compulsory service. On what plea or pretext can such acts be tolerated or justified for a single moment ? Solely on the imperative neces sity there exists for the maintenance of our naval power, of procuring men for our vessels ! It has been said, and we believe truly—the autho rity of the gallant and distinguished officer by whom it was asserted compels our belief--that if we wanted at this moment to man five or six vessels of war, we could not do so in less than five or six months. What can be the reason of this unwillingness to serve ? What is it that renders our navy different from every other branch of the public service, the exception to every other mode of employment, in which there is an abundant supply of labour fully adequate to the demand ? It is not the privation, and difficulties, the dangers that must be encountered in so perilous a vocation. No ; the hardihood, the bravery, of the British tar forbids the in jurious supposition. It is the deep, the burn ing sense of injustice, that renders him un willing to engage in a service in which he would be daily subjected to the degradation of being lashed like a dog before his friends and ship mates, at the mere whim and caprice of a heartless and tyrannical despot. His innocence of any offence, his anxiety to do his duty to the best and utmost of his ability, nay, the perfect and entire discharge of that duty, may all be insufficient to save him from the brutalising and hor rible flagellation. He may be tied up without an opportunity of saying one word in his own defence, and receive forty-eight lashes, inflicted by a brawny and stalwart boatswain's mate, or rather boatswain's mates; for we believe that they are changed at every dozen lashes on such occasions. What slavery is worse this ?—the slave owner pays too large a price for the unhappy being whose destinies are committed to his hands to make him willing to deprive himself of the valuable services during the sojourn in hospital of his victim. It would be too expensive an amusement to be frequently indulged in, but such is not the case with the captain ; he can spare the man from his labour for a season. The Secretary for the Navy whose anxiety for the amelioration of the condition of the sailor, and desire to do everything in his power to induce them to love the ser vice, and willingly to enter therein we are happy to acknowledge, states that the severity of the discipline, the practice of flogging, has been very materially relaxed; for that, while 2,000 men out of 34,000 were flogged in the year 1839, 1,200 only out of 40,000 were lashed in the year 1845. Good GOD ! can this be the mitigated system of which they boast, against which a word is not to be spoken, or complaint uttered, when in the very last year, 1,200 English sailors withered beneath the brutal and brutalising cat—no less than three per cent. on the entire number employed ? Can it be wondered at that the press-gang is necessary, that the navy cannot be manned without force, when so large a proportion is subjected to such a punishment ? But, forsooth, the discipline of the service cannot be en forced, the safety of the vessel cannot be secured un less such a power is placed in the hands of the com mander. We wholly and entirely dissent from, and enter our protest against such an opinion, although we doubt not it is conscientiously main tained and honestly put forward by many humane and honourable men. Thera are many means of enforcing obedience, of securing the performance of the duty, without having recourse to so horrible an alternative. It is well known that Lord NELSON abhorred flogging, and never resorted to it but in extreme cases. Can it be , said that the crews serving under his command did not well discharge the duty they owed to their country ? It was abolished by NAPOLEON both in the army and navy of France. Can it be said that he did not know how to secure obedience, or what was necessary for its enforcement ? It has not since been restored in that navy. Have we heard any complaints from the French people of the im possibility of maintaining discipline in their navy? In the American navy no man can be flogged save by the sentence of a court-martial, and the Ame rican navy may challenge a comparison with any in the universe. Nay, many of our own best and most skilful sailors have sought and obtained employment in their service; and why ? because there is a security for the well-disposed man, who will perform his duty fairly and truly. There must be at least the form of a trial, and an opportunity afforded of being heard in his own defence, before he is degraded. 'We trust that these considerations will not be lost on the Legislature and the country, but that a loud and earnest demand for justice to our army and navy will produce the total and entire abolition of the cat. "Delenda est Carthago." The lash, with all its degrading incidents, must be banished from both branches of our service. Letters from Alexandria announce that MEHEMET AL!, accompanied by his son-in-law, KAMILTACHA and his grandson MusTarnA BEY, sailed from that port on the 9th instant, on board the Turkish steamer Esseri Djedid, for Constantinople. His grandson ABBAS PACHA, was to administer the Government until the return of IBRAHIM PAcHA. It is said that the Bey of Torus intends to insti tute a Council of State, to advise in all civil, com mercial, and criminal matters. Intelligence has been received from Constantinople of the 6th. Sir STRATFORD CANNING had remon strated very seriously with the Porte on the con duct of the authorities at Smyrna, who had denied the British Consul justice against the murderers of Sir LAURENCE JONES, by refusing to take the evi dence of the witnesses to the murder, who were Christians, against the murderers, who were Turks. The Porte assured Sir STRATFORD CANNING that full justice should be done, and that the testimony of the Christian witnesses should be taken. The Nuremburg Correspondent states that the brother of M. METENDORFP has been entrusted with a mission to negotiate a treaty of commerce between France and Russia, and is about to proceed to Paris for that purpose. We extract the following from the Augsburg Gazette : " It has been latterly reported that the 'King intended to effect great political reforms, but such is not the case. His Majesty merely proposes to reform certain branches of the administration: Counts Ferri and Bandelli, and other dis- contented parties, have been dismissed from the army, and the famous D'Are having been ordered to quit the kingdom, the uneasiness felt on the one hand, and the exaggerated hopes entertained on the other, will be removed." The Danish journals of the 11th inst. contain an important declaration of the King of DENMARK. on the subject of the succession, which has been for so long a time in agitation. His MAJESTY declares that the d L ou an b e t nb is ou n rg o a rights c o o f n t e t h s b C i e r . o w As over v t e o r the be Duch y v o g f l i n o n p g r e o r po o f th s e s ihl posse, a act of n d A u t g h KING u e s t 2 27 brings 1721,te gfouralrvaanrcl s2t e 3 e : I g 7 iv 2 e l n , b a y nd En th g e lan t d re a a n ti d es F c r o a n n e c l e ud on ed J w un it e h I R 4 u a ss n i d a on April 22, 1767, and June 1, 1773. The KING is far from being so explicit on the subject of Holstein. He admits that there are circumstances which pre vent his declaring himself so positively. He reserves to himself to give an opinion at a future period, but promises that the privileges of the Duchies of Sleswig and of Holstein shall be respected. Madrid papers of the 15th have been received. The Herald°, the organ of NARVAEZ, has an article on the QUEEN'S marriage, recommending that the future husband of the QUEEN should be a Spa nish Prince, with liberal ideas. This must allude to Don ENRIQUE, whose claims have hitherto been strenuously opposed by Ickavezzl Don ENRIQUE has left Brussels for Liege. During his stay at Brussels he received every attention from the Royal Family, and was visited by the Pope's Nuncio and by the Sardinian Envoy. It is said that the KING of the FRENCH is not disinclined to support . the pretensions of Don ENRIQuE. These papers publish news from Portuzal, an nouncing that a pronunciamiento had taken place at Coimbra against the PALMELLA Ministry, The Civic Guards of the various POrtuguese towns are about to be considerably Augmented. The Three per Cents. were done at 33% for cash; the Five per Cents., at 207 ; the Debt without I n t erest, at 6 3 / 4 ; the shares of the Bank o San Fernando, at 390 ; and those of Isabel, at 200. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. There was almost a panic in the Share Market on Monday, caused by the intelligence that a portion of the unfinished Orleans and Vierzon Railroad, near Orleans, had sunk on Saturday night. No lives were lost in consequence of the accident, but it will retard the opening of the line considerably, The German emigrants, who have returned from America in a state of destitution, and who were landed a short time since at Dunkirk, are to be con veyed as colonists to Algeria by the French Govern men t.

Intelligence of the death of Lord WILLtAM RUSSELL was, it is understood, received in town this morning. This melancholy event will, of course, cause the tempo rary retirement of Lord Jour/ RUSSELL from his official duties. As there is much speculation afloat respecting the degree of support which the Ministeiial Sugar Scheme is likely to receive, we have good reason for informing our readers that Sir Robert Peel intends to strengthen the hands of the Government, with regard to the main features of their proposition. This will be in accordance with the assurance he conveyed in his retiring address from office, and though in taking this course ho may not have the sup port of one or two of his late colleagues, yet the broad intellect, high character, and merited influence of Sir R. Peel will materially stimulate the Ministerial hopes of success. We rojoice to think that the Cabinet are likely to be thus ably seconded. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, was firm, sales 4,00 bales. Shares were much the same. The further intelligence received to-day from India con firms to the fullest extent what has already been stated under this head as to the dullness of the markets, and the adequate supply to meet the wants of our Asiatic consumers for some time to come. _ The Montezuma hne of packet ship furnishes news of the 2d inst. from New York, which is of interest, chiefly in regard to the statement of affairs in Mexico. We confess that it is difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to the result of the difficulties between this republic and the United States, though, from the factions existing in Mexico, an entire sub version of the present order of things, and an abject submis sion to the Washington Cabinet, seems almost inevitable. The avoidance of such a cMnauement must be the result of chance, not patriotism or strength, for even a foreign inva sion has failed to impart either. There are accounts to July 2 from New York. The Cabi net of President Polk seems likely to remain without further changes of any interest during the present sitting of Con gress. The commerce of New York was, upon the whole, in a satisfactory state. From Canada there are favourable reports of the growing crops. The colonists anticipate, seemingly, much more harm from free-trade measures than is ever likely even to threaten them, as a short experience, it may be trusted, will serve to prove. The discount market has been steady, and there does not seem to be a probability of money becoming cheaper, for the present at least, seeing that the rate of interest is yet much lower than in some of the large continental cities. The public securities have been rather flatter to-day. Consols for present transfer have been 95 1 / 2 %, and for time 05% . This is about IA per cent. lower than yester day. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 10s. to 14s, and on East India Bonds, under 1,0001., 255. Bank Stock has been marked 208. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% to lA.

The supply of Wheat on sale to-day being somewhat more than equal to the wants of the dealers, and the weather very favourable for the crops, the trade with all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at barely Monday's reduced currencies. In Foreign Wheat so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. To sell, a further reduction in value of Is per quarter must have been submitted to. Grinding Barley, and the best pale Malt were quite as dear, but other kinds were much neglected.

The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day shortly after ten o'clock. THE LONG VACATION. The LORD CHANCELLOR, upon taking his seat, stated that he found it had been usual of late for the Court to rise for the long vacation at an earlier day than when he last sat in that Court, and when the state of business justified it, his Lord ship did not see why the course he had formerly adopted should be departed from, but as for this year it might be in convenient to alter an arrangement previously made, his I ordship would adhere to the day that had been previously fixed—namely, the last day of the pr, sent mouth, after whi c h day his Lordship did not intend to sit. The Court tlien proceeded to hear lunatic petitions and appeals. wiling of any interest occurred in any of the other Equity Courts, all of which, it is understood, will rise on the 31st, and not sit again till the tit st day of ➢lichaelmas Term. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. The members of this Committee re-assembled this day at eleven o'clock. CORNWALL. Lord Vivian was examined on the part of the opponents of the 11111, and stated that he conshiered the line was, though insufficient for the general traffic of Comwall, so far advantageous as to pre clude the construction of a central line. He considered, also, that the levels of the proposed line were too low to render it easy to foirm a connexion with other lines ; and was decidedly of opinion that the central line would be more beneflcial to the country, and its levels were better. Mr. Williams, whose examination was commenced yesterday, was examined, and stated that the produce of the St. Austell tin and copper mines, in the district through which the Cornwall line passed, amounted to 114,2501., while the produce of the Newlyn district, through which it was proposed to carry the central line, amounted to 141,2921. There was this advantage on the side of the latter, too, that it was a rising district, while the former was declining. loom 1). GLASGOW, Dilmrnams, AND CILMMISI.E. On the assen‘m,ung of the Committee to-day at 11 o'clock, Mr COCKBURN said, that atter the unexpected decision which the Committee had come to yesterday —a decision which had taken his clients somewhat by surprise—he had an application to mike ; it was that the Committee adjourn Ibr the day, in order to stow him time to prepare the evidence he would have to offer on the points in the case of the prom ders that were now open to him to dispute. Mr. ANDRE we protested against:;ranting the application, as most unusual, and inconvenient to the promoters of the Bill. All the wit nesses against the Bill were in town, and there could be no difficulty in his Learned Friend going into his case at once, as he must have been ready beforehand to go into that portion of the case if necessary. Mr. COCKBURN said, that the question of competition being shut out by the decision yesterday —a point on which the opponents of the Bill would have been prepared to show u strong case—time other points reserved fur investigation had come rather suddenly upon tkem. If the Committee would adjourn till tomorrow, he pledged himself that his case would be closed within the two days, that was by Friday evening. After some further conversation, the room was cleared. On our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN said that they were willing to grant the adjourn ment sought for, on the distinct understanding that the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Coe's burn) would condense his case into the two dayS. Dir. Cockburn and Mr. Sergeant Murphy, on behalf of the other petitioner against the Bill, pledged themselves to this course. Mr. - Blythe, civil engineer, having supplied the opponents of the Bill with some details respecting the estimates which they r,quired, the Committee adjourned till to-morrow, at eleven o'clock. Room C. IILACRWALL RAILWAY (WIDENING). The Committee re-assembled this morning, Lord ilatherton in th chair. The first witness called was Mr. John Duncan, solicitor of the Eastern Counties Company, who was examined at considerable length as to the contents of draft of arrangement which had been entered into between the Eastern Counties Company and the Blackwell Company, which he stated had nothing whatever to do with the arrangement of traffic. The term " facilities " in that agreement had reference, in his opinion, to the right to be conceded to either Company of passing over the line of the other Company. On this point Mr. Duncan underwent a long examination, but nothing contrary to the facts adduced was elicited. Mr. Durant, an extensive silk-broker in the City, stated that the diminishing of the light in the silk warehouses would present a formidable impediment to the carrying on of the silk business. Mr. Bidder, engineer of the Eastern Counties Railway, stated that he did not conceive that the short traffic to be obtained by a junction of this line with the Blackwell allway would be of any ad vantage, for, in the calculation of that advantage, the Directors had altogether overlooked the competition of the omul bases, which, for short stages, were decidedly the most conve n i en t ; as a proof othis it had been estimated that there would be as many as 1,80Q,000 passengers Irons the station at East Ham, while he did not believe that the whole of the passengers carried was 50,000 per annum. In the statement to Parliament there was a computation that 4,800,000 passengers would be carried by the Blackwell line, and ou those they had calculated a fare ef sixpence each. Ile believed that it was only in consequence of the arrangement with the steam-boats that they got any passengers worthy of consideration. If they had lowered their fares a penny a passenger, they would have had no reason to make the extension to Fee - wherell-street from the Minories. He was certainly the engineer for the Company, and under his advice, though not by his suggestion, the money had been expended. He conceived that there would be great difficulty and danger in the con duct of these short trains, especially at Bow, where accidents have already occurred at that spot. There were ahead,. twenty-live trains in and out of the Shoreditch station at the present time, and these were sufficiently difficult to manage. The omnibuses could at all times give greater accommodation to the short passengers, and for the long passengers it was not worth while, as the distance front the suburban to the City terminus was so small. He had ad vised the arrangement with the Blackivall Company, whereby there was to be a mutual use of the proposed connexion between Stratford and Stepney, because he sa.v the Blackwell desired it, and the arrangement would hinder strife, and the latter Company would never attempt to make the line at all. They had not yet, in fact, put a single spade into the ground. In his opinion, by his opposition to this scheme he conceived that ho was doing the best possible service to tilt proprietors of that company by preventing the outlay of a great expense, for which not a single shilling would be returned. He believed that unless the fares were reduced far below those of the omnibuses they would get no passengers at all. The fare at present from Tottenham was Bd., 6d., and 4d. for the classes respectively, amid if the estimate of the passengers-1,700,000—a tare of 4d. would be necessary to give a gross return of 12,0001. a year. In fact, it was a matter of-eate of fare, and he did not conceive that it would ever , be in the power of the Blackwell Company to make it a remunerating line; and certainly the station in Fenchureh street was quite inadequate for the traffic anticipated. Mr. Knight, superintendent of the warehouses of the East and West India Dock Company, stated that the warehouses of the East India Company had been purchased on the expiration of their char ter. Those warehouses in London were bonded warehouses. A small portion of those warehouses had been taken on the extension of the Blackwell line from the Ninories to Fenchurch-street. Some promise had been made on that occasion ef conveying the goods of the Company, but it had not been kept, and only samples were sent, and the goods from the docks at Poplar were now carted for the sake of convenience. This evidence was going on, when Mr. ADAMS, on the part of the promoters, proffered an arrange ment to confine themselves to the taking a certain amount of pro perty, and to pay for any difference of loss ; but It was rejected en the ground that no money would pay for the loss. Air. Knight's examination was resumed. He stated that the light wou'd be much hindered. At this point, the room was cleared, and on the re-admission of the counsel and parties, Lord HATHEATON stated, that the Committee had talked the matter over, and, without expressing any decision on the general question, they would suggest that the opponents should retire, and coma to some agreement with respect to the station. They were sufficiently acquainted with this point. FOBSYTK objected, and said no arrangement Would suit his clients. Mr. ADAMS, on behalf of the promoters, said that they were ready to do anything in reason, and would either leave it to the decision of auy competent professional man, or to one of their Lordships. Room F. This room first became a Lords' Committee-room this morning. It is in fact Room 34 (Grand Corridor). The two next rooms ( 33 and 32) hove also been adopted as Lords' Committee rooms, under the names of Rooms G and 11. nntrezzicanara AND OXFORD 317NCTION— AND 33ELANC8E8. A Select Committee on these Bills met to-day, at eleven, in the above room. The Members are, Lord Ripon (chairman'), and Lords Sondes, Eldon, Wynford, and Montfort. Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Talbot, Mr. Whately, and Mr. Crippe appeared for the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Austin, Mr. Merrewether and Mr. Mellon, appeared as counsel for some, and Messrs. J. Park es and Co. and Mr. Carter, Parliamentary agents, appeared for others, o f t h e --- following petitioners : The Warwickshire and London lines (the competing scheme, which was rejected in the Commons' Committee, Group 33, during this session); the London and Birmingham line; the Birmingham and Gloucester l ine: th e Warwick and Birmi ng h am Canal ; the M a rquis of Hertford (on two petitions), t h e Earl of War wick, the Earl of Abergavenny, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Greswolde, certain owner! and occupiers, lirc. &c. Mr. TALBor opened the case for the promoters of the Bill. The with E,reat minuteness, went over the history Learned Counsel, of the Wheal% and of the proceedings with reference to this and the competing heme in the House of Commons. The Learned Couns also dwelt at some length Upon the natura and objects of the several petitions against the Bill. The London and Birmingham Company petitioned on the ground that by a junction with them at Birmingham, they would injure their property, and endanger the lives of passengers. Now the junction was to be made in pursuance of an agreement be tween the promoters of this Bill (the Great Western Company), and the; Grand Junction Company, before the amalgamation of the latter with the London and Birmingham Company, and which they (the Grand d unction) had called on the promoters to fulfil, since that amalgamation. He theught their Lordships would agree with him when he said that it was highly unfair, that while the junior parties in a firm were insisting on compliance with a contract, the senior parties should make it a ground of opposition. The re mainingpart of the Learned Counsel's speech referred prin cipally to the question of the propriety, or rather necessity, of a system of railways through this district, independent ot; and to some extent competing with, the London and Birmingham line ; the argu ments on this point have been given at such length in the columns of TM Sun during the proceedings in the Committee of the Com mons on Group 33, that it is unnecessary to reiterate them here. Mr. W. Matthews, a magistrate in Warwickshire, and member of the Corporation of Birmingham, gave evidence as to the necessity of a line through this district, independant of the London and Birmingham. This witness's evidence was confined to the necessity for its being distinct from the London and Birmingham Company, as their Lordships had expressed their opinion that the necessity for better communication, being admitted on both sides, was not a matter requiring proof. Room G. EASTERN COUNTIES (GREENWICH AND CHILIIAM M7l7,ll.l`i*C.El). This Committee met for the first time to-day, the Earl of Devon in the chair. Other Members present—the Duke of Leeds, the Duke of Cleveland, and Earl Craven. Lord Kinnaird, the remaining Peer, being absent, the Committee adjourned, without doing any business, till to morrow at eleven o'clock. Room 5 STIETTIELD, ROTUERAM, 13ARNSLEY, 3.17.a71.11.1F1LL1), HUDIMIZSMULD, aND GOOLE. This Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour, in No. 5, Abingdon-street; the Earl of Radnor in the chair.. The general evidence on the part of the promoters, to show the advantages of the line, was resumed, and Sir John Kay, of Grange ; Mr. Wentworth, of Woolley Hall ; near Barnsley ; Captain Lewes, superintendent of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, and other witnesses were examined. The effect of their evidence was to corroborate that given yesterday, as to the imp,,rtance of laying down the proposed line, and the great accom modation it would afford to the traffic of the district. The engineering evidence was then gone into, and Mr. Ilawkshavr civil engineer for the promoters of th e line, was examined at great length. He deposed to the facility with which the line could be constructed. There were no peculiar engineering difficulties ; there were three tunnels on the line, , —one of these was 2,231 yards long, one 680 yards, and the other 685. The other.works were of the ordinary character. The estimated cost would, in his opinion, complete the works. Mr. Viguoles, civil engineer, corroborated the evidence of the last witness , . The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

BENTINCK said—Sir, I beg to give notice that, on the motion for your leaving the chair on Friday next on the question of the sugar duties, it is my intention to move, as an amendment, that, "In the present depressed state of the sugar cultivation in our British East and West India possessions, the proposed reduction of duty upon foreign slave grown sugar is alike unjust and impolitic, as it tends to check the advance of production by Britisn tree labour, and gives an additional stimulus to the slave trade." Mr. C. BERKELEY said that he understood that the Noble Lord the Hember for the City of London had expe rienced a domestic calamity, which caused some doubt as to whether he would be able to attend the House on Friday. He wished to ask his Right Hon. Friend (Sir G. Grey), it in case of the Noble Lord's absence, it was the intention of the Government to proceed with the sugar question on that day? Sir G. GREY said he had received an intimation from his Noble Friend, tnat Bum city cause. rcrerren to by the Hon. Member, he should be unable to attend the House as to day. He was not aware whether the Noble Lord could attend on Friday, but if he did he would proceed with the question of the sugar duties. To-morrow Le (Sir G. Grey) would be better able to inform the House whether the Noble Lord would attend in his place on Friday. . . Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY then gave notice that at an early period he would renew his motion, " That an humble address be' presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to withdraw her consent to the placing of the statue of the Duke of Wellington upon the archway at the top of Con stitution-hill." CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. Sir GEORGE GREY said, that as his Hon. Friend the member for Montrose, had got to the first order of the day, the Charitable Trusts Bill, he wished to say a few words upon the subject. Last week the House had affirmed the prin ciple of the Bill, being the accountability of parties managing these [tugs to Parliament. He had received several com munications since the second reading of the Bill from parties interested in the subject, and those parties made no objection to the principle of their accountability being acted upon; but they made various suggestions of such weight and im portance that they would require ample time for considera tion. The Lord Chancellor would have under his con sideration a more general measure than the one submitted to the House by his Honourable Friend the Member for Montrose. He hoped that as the House had recognised the principle of the Bill introduced by his Honourable Friend, he would be induced, at that late period of the session, and the great importance of the mea sure, to postpone it for the present session, in order that the whole subject might be fully considered and brought forward early in the session ensuing. Mr. HUME said that the object which the Government had in view would meet his views upon the subject. Since last week he had received an abundance of communications on the subject, all pointing to the absolute necessity of such a Bill, but requiring much more to be done than was in tended by him, his object merely being to give to Parliament the management of charities, and nothing more, leaving to each individual connected with such charities to take what measures he might wish, in due time. That appeared to him to be the means of obtaining what the public ought to have had many years since. It was not only to obtain accounts from these charities he wished, but it was abso lutely necessary that there should be some means to regulate these institutions, because a large proportion of them were of so small an account that they would not bear the expense of any litigation. Under the present circumtat.ces he had no alternative. The Government pledged itself to bring in a measure of a more comprehensive nature next session, and feeling the opposition he had experienced (not that he was at all afraid of that opposition, for he knew that no Bill had ever been introduced into that House iwith respect to charities which had not been strongly opposed) he thought that a reformed House of Commons should be resolved and determined on this subject, and should have some account from these charities. The time would come when the discussion.on this question would occupy the attention of the House more than it bad done, and he would therefore, without hesitation, leave the Bill for next \I ednes day, and by that time he hoped to see in the Government a disposition which would induce him to give it up altogether. He begged to move that the order of the day be read. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN said that the other day he had had the honour of moving that the Bill be read a second time that day six months, but he wished to inform the Hon. Member for Montrose, that in doing so he did not wish to dispute the principle of the Bill. He objected to the mea sure on the ground that its provisions might cause some trouble. After a few words from Mr. B. Escott, Mr. Brotherton, (inaudible), and Mr. Newdegate, The Bill was postponed until Wednesday next.

ACCIDENT ON THE EA.STEItri COUNTIES nAIL WAY. At the conclusion of the examination of the e ngine.drif _er and stoker before the county magistrates at Ilford gteal.° l : Monday, Captain Coddington, one of the Government ipso specters of railways, proceeded to Stratford, for the purl__ _ of examining into the efficiency of the signals and (4,7. matters relating to the accident, preparatory to making . Tf report to the B o ard o f T ra d e . H e was a ttended by xi . Roney, the secretary, Mr. Scott, the locomotive superinten dent of the line, and Mr. Sam ue l s , the resident engitleere. His first object was to inspect the locality of the signals and the distance they could be seen ; and after a careful e, measurei; ment it was found that they could be discerned 220 yards down the line—that extreme di s t ance b e i ng 479 yards fe9l: the station. That the signal was erected on the wrong of the line was the general opinion. Had it been on the sid e of the down line, it cou ld h ave b een seen a l mos t double 15 ' distance. Captain Coddington was informed that the cow: pany hadcommenced to remove the signals on the Colchester line, which were all of the same d escr ipti on , an d to erect! their place some of a simil ar cons t ruc ti on t o those on th e Cambridge branch. Thee- have only been recently coal' pleted, and it was ad m itt e d th a t day and night they K aye proved most efficient: A doubt being entertained as to the possibility of Clare , the engine-driver, being able to bring the train to a stopeag r e d ' from where the signal can first be seen at the Strad...). station, at the speed it was said to be travelling, CaP,L ai ; Coddington, we beli eve , suggeste d t h e propr i ety o f maxilei experimental trips, w ith a v i ew o f ascerta i n i ng t h e f a ct. ,I. : h was accordingly arrange d t o ma k e suc h tr i a l s yester d a n" the same engine and trucks which caused the - accident. , Captain Codd i n g r on a c.irdingly visited Strattord Yes ie .% day, and went on the Firefly engine (the front of which much knocked about), accompanied by Mr. Scott, the loc motive superintendent, and Mr. Samuels, the engiltel e Thee then proceeded with te eriments propsed , result of which clearly subitant h iate the statement ( matle tee l i the company's officers, that the train could have uz:d brought to a standstill before it reached the station , P, t , attention been directed to th e signal and the proper appliances used. In the course o f the experiments the train was put on at the rate of thirty miles an hour . On sighting the signal the steam w as s h u t o ff, and' h os, applying the breaks and reversing the engine, the tA was brought to a stoppage some yards fr o m t he Stratio;; station. It will be recollected, that at the magistrat e C t inquiry, it was stated that the speed of the train, when fir e seen coming up, was about seven or eight miles an b ° , 103 The mischief to thecarriages, however, tends toshow that speed must have been greater. After the trials Captain Co, dington left for town. It is considered p ro b a bl e that his _:s s port to the Board of Trade will no t b e i ssue d un til the ro w of the trial of the engine -driver and stoker. The accounts received l as t even i ng at t h e Sh ore ditch eta' tion of the condition of the sufferers lying at the Lond on Hospital were of a favourable character, as regarded four them; but in the cases of Willi am Prentice, the companY e il e porter, and Mr. Morris, of Adam-street, Romford, and or of the Hoop Inn, Deptford, as previously reported, thei r condition was far from satisfactory. The unfortunate fella f' Prentice, who is in his eighteenth year, was, it appearas l S the last compartment of the second-clas s c arr i a ge, W ee i Shaffington, another porter, and Henry Olive, a goode.tr* : i guard. Shaffington states lie was lying his full length '4 one of the seats, and Prentice and Olive were sitting on t he opposite seat. All he could recollect of the collision was 's il o denly falling through the bottom of the carriage on to road between the rails, and finding the engine of the Ow; train over him. He has sustained little injury, sil id e b e r expected to leave the hospital in a few days. In the compartments of this carriage were, Mr. Morris, Millwood, of 2, Luke-street, Turk-street, Bethnal-gru7i, Mr. Murphy, solicitor, of Hendon; John Smith, f o l io Cooper's-gardens, Hackney-road, the constable ; Keeler, of West-hill, Essex; James Stone, and Mr. lane; of Hale, near Hendon. The three laidies who were in r d, carriages more' in advance of the train, Mrs. Paine, of who had the small bones of her left leg fractured ; Mrs. I ' - of dersley, of Chigwell, thigh fractured, and Mrs. BroinleP ri , Colchester, are, we are h a ppy t o say , i n a f a i r way o f reol ge , The husband of th e l as t- ment i one d l a d y ha d h i s shin 7,-or Lured.
