" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times. except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy .tatcs depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and fliture race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages we our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation .)f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (1 ESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. CORNWALL. (Continued front our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr, Bampton, engineer, was examined, and stated that the Bodmin branch was very well suited to the town, and that gradients for two miles of 1 in 3,4 would be required to effect a junction between this branch and a central line. Mr. Locke, engineer, was examined, and stated that the two points (Doubleboys and Truro), proposed by the Cornwall line for a eentral communication, were objectionable, and points of di vergence better suited to the district, and at a less expense, might be obtained. After some further evidence, the case of the opponents to the Bill was concluded, and the Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock 1.3-morrow. Room B. VALE Ox' NEATIL (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Committ.e decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved. LLYN'U'I 'VALLEY AND SOUTH 'WALES ZUBICTZON. The opposition to this Bill having, !been withdrawn, the Committee decided that the preamble was proved. ONTVIOUTESIIIR,E. The preamble of this Bill was proved. Room C. LONDON AND GRAVESEND. The Committee re-assembled this morning, the Earl of Devon in the chair, when Mr. Bidder was called to confirm the statements in Mr. Austin's address, which he did to a considerable extent, when Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIADI entering the room stated, that in conse quence of the decision to which the Committee had come yesterday his clients would withdraw their oppositiOn. Their Lordships then went through the clauses, and the report was ordered to brought up. GRAVESEND AND R OCHESTER, CANAL • AND RAILWAY PURCHASE. This is merely a Bill to allow the Soath-Eastern Company to pur chase this property, aid there being no opposition, the Bill was allowed proved in its integral state. Mr. AUSTIN having stated that he did not anticipate so early a con clusion of the ,truggle for the London and Gravesend line, and that he was not ready with the - next Bill, their - Lorlihips adjourned till to-morrow. Room E. EXETER, "Sr:EOVIL, AND DOR.CHESMER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Locke, cross-examined by Mr. BUTT—It is proposed to form a communication with Yeovil by means of a branch from the main line. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant KINGLAEE—The length of the junction line at Exeter was about three-quarters of a mile ; it curved slightly from the main line, it then went in a straight direction through the tunaclS, and again made a small curve in approaching the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, the distance from the station of the company at Exeter, at which the junction line was proposed to leave the main line, was about 30 chains. Re-examined by Mr. HOPE—The junction of the two lines at Exe ter formed no part of the Integral scheme. It was merely a line added for the convenience of the passengers at the stations. He did not think there would be any difficulty in communicating from the Exeter and Yeovil line, with the Crewkerne branch in such a manner as to afford the means of exchanging traffic. There was no impor tant difference between the two lines as between Exeter and Yeovil, if anything the superiority was in favour of the line he had laid out ; there was a less amount of tunnelling, and the steepest gradients compared together were as 1 in 87 to 1 in 91 in favour of the line before the Committee. The London and South-Western Railway Company were largely interested in the Southampton and Dorchester line. The construction of the proposed line would not, there fore, be supposed to interfere with the interests of that line, It was not to be supposed that the line from Sherborne to Yeovil on the broad gauge would be constructed, as It was not likely that per sons going from Sherborne to London would go westward to Yeovil, when they could at once proceed direct, via Salisbury to London. The objection, therefore, which might be raised to two lines running parallel with each other would be totally removed. With refer • ence to the deviation line to the north of Sherborne, he thought it would be less expensive to tunnel through the whole of the pro perty of Lord Digby than to make the deviation line as suggested. The working expense of the line would be about 45 per cent. Mr. Vignoles, C.E., examined by Mr. HOPE—Had been through the districts through which this line proposed to pass, and thought the line had been laid out in the best possible manner, taking into consideration the nature of the country. He thought it desirable to have a through communication between Exeter and London on the narrow gauge, and wider the management of an independent com pany. • Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—Was decidedly in favour of the broad gauge as a means of communication, viewed as an abstract question. He thought the junction at Exeter between the two lines would be useful, as it would prevent the city of Exeter being over crowded with the traffic of the two Hiles. . . . . . -. Re-examined by ➢lr. Hora—He thought that what the na , Tow gauge could do the broad gauge could do better, at an increased cost, of course. The inconvenience of break of gauge must continue to exist so long as there were different gauges in the country. In his opinion, it was desirable that the break of gauge should take place at populous towns, such as Exeter, which as a point in the western traffic would afford the best place for a break of gauge. At present the interests of the Great Western Company were identified with the broad gauge—iu fact the Great Western line formed the key to the broad gauge. Mr. Tile, architect, was then examined by Mr. HOPE —lie had been over the whole of the line of the proposed railway, and had su perintended the valuation of the land. The estimates he had pre pared were for the districts between Basingstoke and Salisbury Salisbury and Yeovil .. Yeovil and Exeter .... • ... •• . 95,000 Making a total of.. lie had specially examined the property of the Earl of Digby, and he did not think that the interests of the town of Sherborne should be sacrificed by making a line to the south for the purpose of avoid ing interference with his property. In no part of the property of tile Noble Lord could the proposed railway be seen. There was a con siderable quantity of fine-grained stone of the lower oolite in the neighbourhood of Tilsbury, which would be most extensively used in London if there was the means of communication. The London University was built 01 that stone. Cross-examined by Mr. BUTT—The line from Salisbury to Bishop stoke went through the property of Sir v. Batliurat in precisely the same manner as the present railw.y was proposed to be made through the property of Lord Digby. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—The church lately built at Tils bury was not built of stone front that neighbourhood ; it was of too hard a nature for the purposes required, and it would be very diffi cult to produce the elaborate carvings required for that church. Mr. J. Robinson, assistant to Mr. Locke, handed in a table of the distances, and also a list of assents, and dissents; and neuters, upon which he was examined at considerable length by Mr. Talbot. Lord Morley was then examined by Mr. HOPE—He considered the proposed lines of importance not only to the city of Exeter and the metropolis, but also for the districts westward of Exeter, including the counties of Devon and Cornwall, which might be advantageously supplied by an extension of the lines before the Committee through the centre of Cornwall. _ —.— Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—Did not know that a reFolution had lately been come to by the Town Council of Plymouth in favour of the Exeter Great Western Railway. Re-examined by Mr. HOPE—Was aware that there was consider able feeling in Cornwall in favour of a second line. Mr. Sidney Herbert, the late Secretary-at-War, examined by Mr. HopE—Considered that the proposed line was much needed laoth for the purpose of giving accommodation to the districts west of Salis bury, at present destitute of railway accommodation, but also as af fording the means of forming an uninterrupted narrow gauge com munication with the different ports on the sea coast, whicti were im portant as defences of the country, such as Sheerness, Dover, Has tings, Portsmouth, and Southampton; and it was also of considerable importance that the proposed line should be continued to the ports of Falmouth and Plymouth. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—It was a matter of indifference to him which lime was constructed, whether on the broad or the narrow gauge, provitted it would afford a continuous and unbroken line of communication between the different ports. The examination of this witness concluded the case on behalf of the promoters. Mr. BUTT then proceeded to address the Committee on behalf of Lord Digby, whose property was intersected by the proposed railway. The CHAIRMAN interrupted the Learned Gentleman by stating that it was the opinion of the Committee that protection should be given to Lord Digby, and the Committee would certainly refuse to sanction the passing of s-' much of the line as proposed to pass through the property of Lord Digby. Mr. GORDON then made an application to the Committee, desiring them to fix the two points between which the line should not be made. _ _ . _ . . . . . •••t•vv• The CHAIRMAN said that he could not do that until he had had an opportunity of consulting the other members of the Committee. Mr. Burr then said he also represented the case of Mr. Bridge, but as the evidence which he had to offer on that subject was not quite prepared, in consequence of this unexpected decision of the Committee, he hoped the Committe would adjourn till Monday next to afford time for obtaining the necessary evidence. The Committee adjourned accordingly till eleven o'clock ou Mon day. Room F. BIR.BIrNGRAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION. The Committee met at eleven o'clock ; present the Earls of Ripon (chairman), Eldon, Sondes, Montford, &c.. Mr. ALEXANDER proceeded to offer evidence on behalf of Mr. Wyse, a landowner on the proposed line. Mr. Greenway, a banker, at Warwick, having been called, Mr. ALEXANDER stated that the witness had not been sworn. After some discussion, the Committee declined to admit the evi dence, as it would open the door to a practice tram which consider able inconvenience might arise. Mt. James Bateman, a surgeon, and agent to Lord Dormer, proved that very considerable injury would arise from the formation of the line of: deviation to the property of Mr. Bexley, a tenant of his Lordship's. Mr. Sechell, a builder, also proved the injury which would be done to Mr. Wyse's property. lo l le h a e v c e , n t A h i c . c . a z s o s, c i h d i Beyr a . ,t e i x , I as o e a l e r a b r i aio that t i n. nj ry, to Mr. COcKauliN said that the promoters of the scheme were willing a great extent, would be Inflicted open the property, and It was for the promoters to say whether they would purolutrte It entirety. Mr. CoCitaußN—The promoters will abide by the result of an arbi tration, and pay the expense of it. Mr. LANG then proceeded to call evidence on behalf of the com peting lines in Warwickshire. Mr. Robert Stephenson stated that the lines called the Warwick shire lines, which were competing lines with the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, were to run betSi een Hampton, Leamington, War wick, and Banbury, and also from Leamington and Warwick to Stafford and Tewkesbury. It would also run from the latter place to to cost 1,366,0001., and was a point called Ashchurcli. There was a project of a line from Weedon to Stafford and Worcester, but it was considered as a competing line. The line from Worcester to Weedon, with a branch to Al and was to have two tunnels and two viaducts. The Hampton, Banbury, and Aschurch line was to oyster, was to be 59 miles long, be 63 miles in length, and was to have four tunnels and two viaducts. The estimated cost was 1,423,000!. Mr. Edward Green, a banker, proved the benefit which these lines would cause to the surrounding country. Other evidence of a similar tendency was then entered into, and the Committee adjourned at five o'clock. to the steepness of the gradient at that position and the speed of the trains in consequence. A • short time ago a collision between a train from Bristol and another from Swintian was only pre vented by mere chance. There was another crossing at Gloucester, which was also dangerous. Trains had get off the line there, and had had the effect of stopping for some time both the narrow and broad gauge lines. Great caution was necessary to prevent accidents, a difficulty which he was of opinion would be.obviated by this line. This closed the ease on the part of the promoters. Mr. AUSTIN then addressed the Committee against the project on behalf of the Great Western Company, and contended that the laying down of a new set of lines oe another gauge, and conse quent, interference with that portion of the Great Western line, was In opposition to an aereement entered into between the two com panies, which set forth that the Gioucaster and Birmingham Com pany should not lay down another line from Gloucester, or divert the traffic of the line. They now proposed to do Vile, and were, therefore, sufficiently dishonest tn set at nought thin solemn compact which they had entered into. If a narrow gauge was necessary from Gloucester to Stonehonse, or f.oin Stonehouse to Itr:stol —and he was not there to deny such a necessity, or to oppose the laying down of the narrow gauge between those points—but he maintained that the proper way to effect this was by having a mixed guage—a narrow guage combined with the broad. The Learned Gentleman concluded by calling on the Committee, if they passed the mu, to pass it in conformity with the arguments he had adduced. He would call Mr. Brand to show that there would be neither diffieul y nor danger in having a mixed gauge. Mr. Brunel was then examimed—He considered that the laying down of narrow gauge lines within the broad would answer the whole purpose sought by the Bill, and would not be dangerous. He saw no necessity for the laying down of narrow gauge lines at the side of the broad for this reason. Mr. Vignoles agreed with Mr. Brunel that the narrow gauge could be laid down easily, and could be as easily and safely worked as if it were an independent gauge. He considered Mr. R. Stephenson prejudiced in favour of the broad gauge. Mr. Cubitt gave similar testimony ; and Mr. Miller was called for the same purpose, but the Committee considered it unnecessary to multiply evidence on the point. Mr. Saunders, secretary to the Great Western line, specified the nature of the agreement between the two Companics. The CHAIRMAN here intimated that the Committee would grant the preamble of the Bill if the promoters would agree to lay down the narrow within the broad gauge, in fact, agreo to a mixed gauge. Mr. HILDTARD declined to accede to the recommendation of the Committee, and trusted that he should be able to show the Com mittoe that a separate and entirely independent gauge was absolutely necessary. Sir T. PHILLIPS then addressed the Committee in opposition to the line on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Niblet, who opposes the Bill on the ground that it will interfere with his property to a greater extent than two years ago, when the existing line was complete!, and when he was freed from the presence of the " navies." This closed the case on the part of the promoters. Mr. Ilmmann then addressed the Committee, and reiterated his arguments in favour of the Bill and an independent gauge. The room was then cleared, and the Committee deliberated. DECISION. After a few minutes parties were admitted, when The CIiAMMAN intimated that the Committee were quite ready to pass the Bill on the understanding that the narrow gauge should he made in connexion with the broad; but as that proposition was not acceded to they felt bound to reject the preamble of the Bill.—Ad journed until to-morrow. Room No. 5. IMPORTANT DECISTON. SHEFFIELD, 12,0THEEILIVI, EAUTZSLEY, WIIREPIELD, EUDIDERSPIELD, AND GOOLE. The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour in No. 5, Abingdon. street, the Earl of Radnor in the chair. The only witnesses examined to-day were Mr. Hindle and Mr. Locke, civil engineers. 7he former deposed to the damage which the line would cause Mr. Clarke's property, and the latter to the great engineering difficulties which would attend its construction. He also expressed an opinion that the promoters never intended to carry it out, but were merely promoting it to prevent the Barnsley Junction. Sergeant Mummy.' addressed the Committee at great length on khall of the opposition, and contended that the evidence submitted was of such a character that the Committee could not sanction the proposed line. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS did not reply. There was nothing advanced on the other side which would warrant hint in taking up the time of the Committee. The case on behalf of the proposers and the opposition having new closed, The CHAIRMAN announced the decision of the Committee—" That the preamble of the Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, and Goole Railway Bill was proved." The Committee having thus dispatched the business before them, broke up. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP LXXIX. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) SOUTH EASTERN (VT ATEILX.OO-EEIDGE EXTENSION). This case was then gone Into. The object of the Bill was to make a ra'lway fro:n London-road to the Greenwich Railway at London bridge-street, not so much with a view of augmenting the returns of the South-Western as for accommodating the public. The line would commence at a point on the Greenwich line, where it crossed the Grand Surrey Canal, drop into the Bricklayers' Arms branch, and then extend on to Waterloo-bridge. The whole length of the line was four miles, but only a mile and a half would pass through what was called house property. Several witnesses were called to prove the advantages of the pro posed extension. Mr. Rogerson, surveyor, estimated the cost of property en the line at 361,3021, including stations. The terminus and approach from London-bridge would cost 174,7451. There were 815 houses scheduled for the entire line. Mr. Bidder detailed the engineering features of the line. His estimate was 640,3021. The Committee adjourned shortly after four o'clock. GROUP LXIX.

The Committee met at elev en o'clock, the Ear l of Strafford in the ekaLr. by Mr• -- Pr Mr. Robert Stephenson, examined litreenn—Was engi neer to the line between Gloucester and Stonehouse, on which there was considerable traffic north and south. The traffic to the south passe I off at Standish, towards Swindon, and that to the west, which was very considerable, passed on to Bristol. He considered the lay ing down of the narrow gauge on this portion of the line, and at the side of the broad gauge, so as to entirely disencumber it, a most essen tial step, if the narrow g auge was intended to be carried on to Brittql. A narrow within a broad gauge would be most inconvenient; b ut t h e Legislature seemed to be of opinion that there should be a mixed gauge between Standish and Bristol, which would have the effect of testing the practicability of working two gauges in conuexion with each other, and whether his opinion as to the inconvenience and danger of such a practice was sound or not. His opinion was, that this would be found so objec tionable, that narrow gauge lines would have to be laid down by the side of the broad, and unconnected with it. Besides the narrow gauge line traffic, if there were a mixed gauge, would be under the control of the Great Western, and consequently the whole traffic going north and south. A slip of land of from 24 to 34 feet would be required. The Rev. Mr. Niblet's case was simply one for compensation. The estimate was 100,0001. Mr. M'Connell, locomotive superintendent of the Birmingham and Gloucester line, testified to the inconvenience, expense, and danger of the diversity of gauge at different portions of that line in its connexion with the Great Western. At Gloucester two stations were necessary, which would not be the case if there was a narrow gauge all the way from Bristol, and, of course, the expesse was increased by making two lines and by two establishments. A mixed gauge was highly objectionable under any circumstances, but particularly where two would work over the same ground, and if the traffic was very large it could not be otherwise than exceedingly dangerous. In this case the traffic would IT got on both lines, and it would be increased when the Monmouth and Hereford was opened. At Standish the Great Western run across the the Gloucester and Birmingham, and the traine ran the risk of ocounteritil trains MAN Ercill Bristol, owing JUNCTION Bill had been proved. The clauses were then gone through and agreed to, and the report adopted. LYNN AND ELY (EXTENSION TO SPALD.. ING). This Bill was next proceeded with ; the preamble was declared to be Proved, and all the clauses settled. LYNN AND ELY (EXTENSION TO DIATLCII). This Bill was also passed ; and the Committee having thus disposed of all the Bills , uem, dissolved. GROUP Lzr_pi. All the members of the Committee re•assemn,ca ♦hl morning (Sir George Clerk in the chair), and proceeded to hear evident:, 4, o pp o . sition to the DUBLIN AND ENNISEIIMEN. Mr. MURPHY, Q.C., stated that his clients had been unable to pro duce a Mr. Little, whose evidence they considered most essential to show the shameful manner in which the shares of this Company had been obtained, and he therefore applied for a summons to compel his attendance. • _ _ Mr. Sergeant MURPHY opposed the application. The room was ordered to be cleared, and on our re-admission , The CHAIRMAN said the Committee considered, after the evidence laid before them, that it would be necessary to have the evidence of Mr. Little, and if Mr. Murphy's clients should not be able to pro duce him at the next sitting of the Committee, the Committee would apply to the Speaker for a warrant to compel his attendance for the purpose of showing how the shares in question were dealt with in the month of January. Evidence was then tendered in support of the allegation of non compliance with the Duncombe resolutions on the part of the coin pans. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY replied, and contended that the promoters had complied with the resolutions, and that the undertaking was a bona fide one, and had carefully inquired into the character of the applicants for shares. He denounced the opposition to the 11111 as an attempt on the part of another company to stifle competition, and that in support of that attempt they had suborned witnesses, who had fortunately escaped punishment for the forgeries of which they had acknowledged themselves to have been guilty in their transac tions with this undertaking. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM having briefly addressed the Committee in answer to the observations of Mr. Sergeant Murphy, .... „.. The room was cleared of strangers. On our re-admission, The Ciutiamarr said, the Committee after much deliberation have decided to call for no further evidence upon the subject of these transactions at Kells, and have desired me to communicate to the parties the resolution to which they have come—" That it appears to the Committee that the agent of the London and Dublin Bank at Rolls applied to the Dublin and Enniskillen Railway Company to give them information with respect to the character and solvency of the persons residing in that neighbourhood who applied for shares ; that a thousand shares were granted to several poor persons possessing no means to pay for them ; that the transactions connected with these proceedings are highly disgraceful to the par ties concerned in them. The Committee, however, are of opinion that no evidence h is been given to connect the Dublin and Enniskil len Company with the transactions which took place at Kells. The CHAIRMAN then said, that if three gentlemen of the name of Little, and one of the name of Batteily, were not in attendance on Monday, for the purpose of enabling Counsel to enter into the case of fraud practised in London in connexion with the undertaking, the Speaker would be applied to for warrants agninst them. The Committee then adjourned till Monday. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at two o'clock in Room No. 1, Lord Shaftes• bury in the chair. There were but four Bills on the list, two railways and two canals. The following were disposed of : DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, AND WORCESTERSHIRE JUNCTION. The promoters of this Bill succeeded in proving compliance with the standing orders. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW CANAL. The standing orders were not complied with. Bill, therefore, thrown out. There were six Bills on the list of the Committee on Merits, several of which were part heard, but no decision was made in any case. They stand over till ➢fonday, to which day the Committee have adjourned. They roes at Four o'clock. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S-PALACE, JULY 24.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 21.) StIGAR.—To -day West India was purchased with caution _ by Refiners and Grocers, although there were sellers at a reduction on the rates of yesterday of 6d per cwt.

In bonded Crushed Sugar there is very little passing, but there are not sellers of first sort under 33s 6d per cwt.

REMARKABLE SPEED ON THE OCEAN.—During the passage just made by the Great Britain iron steam-packet from New York to Liverpool, it was ascertained by accurate nautical observation, made on Saturday, June 13, that this leviathan, propelled by her screw, actually ran no less than 330 knots in the course of twenty-four hours, producing an average rate of going, throughout the day, of nearly sixteen. statute miles per hour—a speed never before equalled on the ocean by any paddle-wheel steamer or by any sailing vessel whatever. Such a velocity, had it continued through the voyage , undiminished, would have brought her across from New York to England in eight days and a half..—Bristbf Journal.
