NAPIER Yesterday, in moving the second reading of the Navy Civil Departments Bill, made some very important observations on the state of the administration of the Navy. In a country like our own, whose unexampled prosperity hitherto has been owing, in a great degree, to her naval power and superiority—whose proudest boast has ever been that she needs no other bulwark or protection than that afforded by her wooden walls, and who has never for a single moment had occasion to regret the unbounded confidence she has reposed in her gallant defenders, who have ever fikithfully and honestly discharged the duty they ,„ v sy_k4tioa`to their country, anything re l a ti ng to t h at • ter and more efficient management tails, must necessarily be of the more particularly so, when brought Hero of Acre, the man who has proofs of 14s urffinthirg devotion, qty, Lai intalliga4;a that a. ic to the bett 7 'outs del rest; t • the I • ousa.ld - 4/41 n3t1'i It - - THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNP, 18, 1846. mates, and proving itself not wholly unworthy of that distinguished lady from whom it will have received its title. Nearly eleven thousand pounds are still wanting to complete the funds which are deemed requisite for the construction of the "Refuge," fifteen thousand pounds being estimated as the cost of the building, and four thousand being the amount of sovercigni already contributed. That eleven thousand pounds will be collected, or we have mis taken the sympathies of humanity. The report that the courier of the French Em bassy at Rome had been robbed of his dispatches, on his way to France, is confirmed by the German papers. These papers also announce that in Sep tember next the Emperors of AUSTRIA and Russia and the King of PRUSSIA will meet at Vienna. We have no intelligence from Lisbon of a later date than that published yesterday. It appears that the Ministers are directing their attention to the sub ject of financial reform, and they have issued a pro gramme, promising extensive retrenchments, and the fulfilment, as far as possible, of the national engage ments. The foreign dividends are to be held invio lable under any circumstances. Advices have been received from Madrid of the 11th of June. All places of public amusement were to be closed for nine days in consequence of the death of POPE GREGORY XVI. ; prayers are ordered to be offered up for the election of a good Pontiff. It is reported that Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA has commu nicated to the editor of the Clamor Public° the fol lowing letter addressed, in 1836, by QUEEN MARIA CHRISTINA. to her sister CARLOTTA LOUISA, the late consort of the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA. "My dear Louisa—l have received your dear letter, in which you remind me of the conversations that have often taken place between Ferdinand and us as to our some day marrying your sons and my little girls. This project has always pleased my heart, and 1 wish that time had wings, in order that I might behold the accom plishment of that which has ever been the desire and will of dear Ferdinand, which desire and will I shall always endeaveur to realise, so far as I can, and the more so as I have always acknowledged the real affection you feel for me and my little girls—an affection which has made you reject all other matches. I also believe that the national representation, instead of opposing those marriages, will approve of then', as being not only advan tageous to our family, but also to the nation, seeing that Spanish Princes are alone concerned in question. I shall not fail to make the said proposal when the proper time comes for it. Adieu, dear Louisa ; accept, I beg you, your sister's sin cerest thanks, and for ever confide in my affection. " Your sister and friend, " MARIA CHRISTINA. " Paris, Jan. 23, 1836." On the festival of Corpus Christi the QUEEN went in grand procession, accompanied by the authorities, to the different churches in Madrid. It was ru moured that the Cortes would be dissolved in July, and that the new Cortes would be summoned to meet in October. The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 11th, owing to the Corpus Christi fetes. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The budget of the expenses relating to the French consulships was voted on Monday, in the Chamber of Deputies, after an endeavour, on the part of MM. DE LAMARTINE, LEON DE MALLEVILLE, and BER RYER, to get up a discussion on the subject of Syria. The ouly reply which M. GUIZOT made to their taunts was, " that he could add nothing to what he had already stated. The discussion should certainly take place, though not now; for the present time was not a fitting one. At this moment a reorganisation was being effected in the Libanus, which tended to re- _- place under the same power all the populations of the mountain. It would be most unwise to run the risk, by any premature discussion, of compromising the arrangement in prospect, which would, he hoped, restore peace and happiness to Syria. The efforts of the French Government in this question might be denied, but they were not questioned in Syria, or at the propaganda of Rome. It would be an easy matter for him to communicate letters to that effect, but he should not do so ; next session all would be arranged, and M. DE MALLEVILLE would then him self perceive the error into which he had fallen." All these papers contain long accounts of the grand doings on Sunday, at the opening of the Northern Railway. The price of bread in Paris for the second fortnight in June has been again augmented, and the price of first quality bread is 37 centimes the kilogramme, and that of second quality, 30 centimes. Algiers journals of the 10th mention no new fact of importance, but confirm the previous statements of the submissions of tribes. Nothing certain was known of the movements of A 13D-EL-KADER. The Courrier Francais says— "We are assured that Government has received from Otaheite news of a most serious character. Several warm en gagements had taken place between our soldiers and the natives of the different islands, which M. Bruat had given orders to occupy. But the most serious fact is the connivance of the English missionaries, who covertly sent powder and ammunition to the insurgents. Several boxes of cartridges concealed under Bibles and religious books were seized ; and the marks of English manuf ictories were equally found on the muskets left on the field of battle by the natives. We shall see what steps will be taken by Government in presence of the constant renewal of such incidents." Little or no business was done on the Bourse on Tuesday, the speculators lying by for the decision of the Houses of Parliament on the Corn-law and the Coercion Bills. The Three per Cents., closed en the Paris Bourse on that day at 83f. 15c. ; the Five per Cents., 120 f. 30c.; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,255 f. ; Rouen, 1,012 f. 50c.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWf CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales, 6,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were dull, and not quite so good. Much regret has been expressed in mercantile circles this morning at the result of the notice of motion which stood for discussion yesterday at the East India House in favour of a testimonial beirg made to Lieutenant Waghorn for his unwearied zeal and perseverance in originating and com pleting the overland route to India. It must not, however, be assumed that this circumstance arose from any lukewarm ness on the part of the proprietors in awarding to this gen tleman the full meed 3f praise —and something more sub stantial to boot—by the notice having been dropped. The fact, we believe to be this, the Honourable Proprietor who gave notice of the motion, as well as many others, anticipated a rather lengthened discussion upon Mr. Poynder's resolution for the immediate abolition of all anti-Christian rites in the East Indies. The Hon. Proprietor, however, did not persevere in addressing the Court at any length, and as Mr. G. Thompson, who had two motions on the paper, could not a tt en d from illness, the Quarterly General Court, which is usually a "field day" for proprietors, who like to see their names in print, was suddenly brought to a termination by the motion of adjournment being proposed and carried. We have reason to believe that the subject will again be revived, and that Lieut. Waghorn's claims will be elaborately and deservedly brought forward in the hall of the East Irdia House. But a few private letters have come to hand this morning from the Brazils, brought by her Majesty's eteamer Swift. In trade at Rio Janeiro, as well as at Bahia, there does not appear to be any marked features. A demand for bullion for the interior and for the River Plate had sprung up. This may account for the comparatively small amount of specie that has been brought home on freight by the Swift packet. The Consol Market is still flat. For the Account the current value now is 95% rather buyer , ; for the Re duced Three-per-Cents the quotation has receded from 95% to 95%; and the New Three- and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 97% to 967 A. There has been a rally in the premium of Exchequer-bills to lfs. Bank Stock has fallen from 206% to 203%. The only bargains worth notice in the Foreign Bonds to day are those in the Portuguese Four per Cents., at rates fluctuating from 49 to M, the present price being 50i. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents have been sold at an improvement to 60 and 4. Russian are at 109 1 / 2 , and the Mexican Deferred at 16 1 4. A pretty fair amount of business has been transacted in Railway Shares and Scrips this morning; but in prices the changes since yesterday have been slight, indeed. IiRITISIL FUNDS.

GLASGOW, KILNEARNOCIC, AND AR- DIMOSSAN. - -- - The Committee on this Bill met for the first time at eleven this morning, in Room B (New Houses of Parliament). The members are Earlit,den (chairman), the Marquis of Ormonde, and Earls King ston, Verulam, and Effingham. Mr. Austin and Mr. Sergeant BAlasis appeared for the promoters, and Sir Thomas Phillips and Mr. Pickering for the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company, and for the Duke of Port land, who opposed the BM on the ground of residental damages. Mr. AUSTIN opened the case for the promoters at great length. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to describe the course of the intended railway, stating the popul9tion of the various towns through which it passed, and the probable expense of its construction, and concluded by submitting that the Ayr Company had no locus stundi, and that therefore their opposition could not be maintained. Mr. PICKERING submitted that the Ayr Company were landowners affected by the tine, that they were described in the book of reierence as such, and that as such they had a right to appear on their petition, even though they did not say in that petition that they were land owners affected by the line. Mr. AUSTIN said that the practice of Parliament was to admit no petition which had not the ground of opposition stated on the lace of it. A long and desultory conversation, or rather squabble, took place here between Mr. Austin, on one side, and Sir T. P,illips and Mr. Pickering on the other, awl the Committee, as soon as they could restore order, decided on obtaining the opinion of Lord Shot tes bury, and they i,,ijourned for:half-an-hour for that purpose. At half past I, the ha!f-liour having expired, the chairman returned, and further adjourned the Committee till 2 o'clock. At about half-past two the Committee re-assembled and gave their decision, that the opposition on the part of the Ayr Company could not be entertained. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. GUILDFORD, CHICUESTER, POR,TSIVIOUTII, AND PAILEHAM. Their Lordships met this morning at the usual hour, in Room A, (New houses of Parliament), Lord Beaumont in the chair. Aa the members were present. . - The evidence on the part of the Guildford, Chichester, Ports mouth, and Fareham tine was proceeded with. Mr. The, the eminent architect and surveyor, and some other witnesses, were examined as to the valuation of land, &c. ; they gave evidence highly favourable to the promoters of this Bill. Mr. Pope, the coat-merchant, and other witnesses, gave evidence as to the probable coal traffic on this and on the Direct London and Portsmouth line. IlLs evidence was in favour of the Guildford and Chichester Railway. The Committee were occupied with this class of evidence up to the time w•e went to press. EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (STRATH• ERN DEVIATION, AND DONTERIVILINE BRANCH). The Committee on this Bill also met for the first time, at eleven o'clock, In Room No. 6 (Committee rooms in Abingdon-street), Lord Portman in the chair. The other members present were Euris Dude and Pomfret, and Lord Carteret. The Committee Were occupied for nearly an hour with a discussion as to what course should be taken and at about a quarter to twelve o'clock they adjourned till .11onday, in order to give time for au arrangement between the agents. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XIII. The Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock, Sir Wm. Clay in the chair. suit to which he has dedicated himself from his earliest boyhood, and in which he has achieved for himself a reputation worthy of his time-honoured name, in which it may almost be said of him, as it was of his gallant ancestor by the Scotch King, when conferring on him the name won on the red field of battle, " that he had nae peer, and therefore he should thenceforth be called Napier." \% hen seconded by a nobleman, of opposite politics indeed, but who had also distinguished himself in the service of his country, and who had been selected for his gallantry and ability in the conflict to bear home to a grateful nation the pleasing intelligence of the new laurels obtained by her children at Navarino, formerly supported by a Gallant Officer,. who has since been most properly selected to fill the high station of one of the naval Lords of the Admiralty, and by other Gallant Officers in the House, such support, we say, demands the most serious attention, and stamps with authenticity the statements and professional opinions put forth under such auspices. We are now happily at peace with all the world, but it must be recollected that the best gua rantee for the preservation of that peace, so justly and so highly prized, is in ever being prepared for any alternative, in being "ready, aye ready for the field." The nation that is prepared for war will seldom be called upon to test the amount of that preparation, and it is surely in the time of universal tranquillity that full attention should be given to every means by which improvements may be effected in one of the most, if not the most important branches of our service. Sir CHARLES urged the necessity of having the Admiralty under the control and superintendence of practical naval men, and not of civilians. It would, indeed, appear strange if the office of Commander-in- Chief of the army should be conferred on a person who had never served in that army. and who must necessarily be unacquainted with the details of that service, of the force which it would be necessary to employ for any particular object. It seems still more anomalous that our navy should be placed under the direction of gentlemen who had no experience therein, who were selected for their Par liamentary abilities, and not for their skill and knowledge in that department, over which they were called to preside. He traced much of the evils which he mentioned to the ignorance which neces sarily prevailed in the board, and gave some curious details as to the division of labour at that board. Thus, the First Lord took all the pa tronage, that was his department, and a most wearying and harrassing duty it must be admitted to be. Another had the building of the ships under his control, another the store, and another the victualling department. The proposition of the gallant mover was, that the number of the Lords of the Admiralty should be reduced from six, the present number, to three. He argued "that thereby matters would be more speedily decided on, and that they would be always sure of a majority, but that with six to consult it was difficult to come to any decision, and that the consequence was never ending procrastination and delay, for which no one was to blame, for they could not say who was responsible." There certainly appears much justice in this objection, and anything that would inspire additional activity, and take away the procrastination that notoriously exists in the Admiralty, would be a good service to the country. He proposed that, in place of the three reduced Lords, there should be appointed three controllers, who should each have the head of a particular department in which he had experience and knowledge, and for the due and efficient working of which he should be respon sible : thus there should be a controller of the duck yards, another of the medical department, and a third of the accounts. The defeds and dangers stated to exist in some of the newly built-vessels will be read with surprise. Whatever may be the cause, we trust that steps will be forthwith taken to remedy such grievous errors. On the division the second reading was negatived by a large majority. We deeply regret it, as whatever might be the defects of its details, they could easily be amended in Committee ; and we think the discussion would be attended with much benefit, eliciting the opinions and obtaining the suggestions of practical, well-informed naval officers. We trust Sir CHARLES will persevere, as he is not a man easily discouraged by opposition; on the contrary, the greater the difficulty in his way, by so much the more will he exert himself to overcome it. We ven ture to say, that " defeat " is a word which has no place in his vocabulary. Thanks to an innate predisposition towards benevo. lence in the multitude, the memories of those indivi duals who have in any manner distinguished them selves as philanthropists are usually perpetuated by the erection of some memento kindred in character with their exertions. It is impossible not to recognise in the public an anxiety to render some testimony of their gratitude to those illustrious personages who have contributed to the happiness of their fellow -creatures. Statesmen, who hare mellowed the legislation of their country under the sunnings of wisdom and liberality —poets, who have decorated their native literature, or taught lessons of divine morality in divine and un _ . dying verse—philosophers, who have lightened the labours of the artisan by the construction of elaborate machinery—orators, who have advocated the nation ality of justice—and warriors, who have preserved their mother- land from invasion, have, all equally been honoured by posterity by some appropriate monu ment. From the ancient days, celebrated by the " Lays" of Mr. MACAULAY, when " There stood in the Commitium plain, for all folk to see, The figure of Horatius, halting upon one knee ;" down to the commemorative statue to WATT, or the proposed testimonial to ROWLAND HILL and Father MATH W. It was for the avowed purpose of contri buting one other instance to the long and glorious catalogue of national gratitude to national benefactors, that a meeting was convened yesterday, by the L or d . . _ _ • Mayor, in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-house The object of this assembly was simple it is true, but it was to our thinking both beautiful and sublime —namely, the raising of a memorial to the _late Mrs. ELIZABETH FRT, as a lasting token, of admiration for her charac:er and affection for her memory ! And it was resolved, moreover, that this memento, to quote the earnest language of the Bishop of NORWICH, should not be "a tablet in a church, with an un meaning inscription—not a sarcophagus, or a mausoleum—but one which should abide in its effects long after marble had dwindled into dust ;" namely, a temporary reception for repentant females on their release from the metropolitan gaols; and assuredly no more suitable manner of perpetuating the name of that most excellent woman could possibly have been devised! The promoters of this enter prise, among whom we are gratified to per ceive many influential personages, deserve every commendation for so appreciating the worth n of this celebrated Samaritan, whose name ust ever stand i mmeasura bl y a b ove t h at of the heartles s charity monger, Join./ HOWARD.

'They emerge upon and the foulest rookeries in the m etro p olis; and what with the contamination by which they are encompassed, and the consciousness of their own im potency, their ruin is inevitable, and they become abased from sinless women into harpies. It is for the protection of these wretched beings ; it is to swell the number of honest citizens and to diminish the victims of debauchery ; it is to promote virtue, and by that means to assure happiness among hundreds of our fellow-creatures, that the proposed asylum, to be called " The Elizabeth Fry Refuge," is about to be undertaken. And heartily do we conjure the promoters of this noble scheme to persevere in their endeavours, to allow their labours no flagging in terval, but so to combine and so to persist in the ad vocacy of the undertaking, that the asylum shall, before many months have elapsed, flourish in some suitable patter of London, fructifying the germs of tin Talk rcinaip in tiw bacuis of its in- .

DEATH or LADY JANE MUIRHEAD.—This venerable lady expired on Sunday last, at the advanced age of 81 years. Iler Ladyship was only surviving daughter o. John third duke of Atholl, and, consequently, great aunt of the present Duke, and Viscountess Strathallan. The deceased was born Dec. 2, 1764, and married Aug 1785, Mr. John Grosset 3luirhead, who died exactly ten years since. FATAL ACCIDENT OFF CREMORNE GARDENS.—A most melarcholy accident happened off the Cremorne Gardens at Chelsea, by which a boy has lost his life, and others very narrowly escaped. The deceased, whose name was Greaves, lived with his parents in the Commercial road, Chelsea, and was sent to school at his usual time. Instead of going there, he went with some others to Cremorne Gardens, and on the edge of the river they commenced " larking," during which the deceased was pushed into the river. Assistance was rendered, but too late to restore life. • BEER TRADE.—Yesterday the Beer Trade Protection Society took their eleventh annual steam excursion. The company, consisting of a number of families, with prov Mons upon the picnic plan, went on board the Star, which cleared out from Adelaide-wharf at ten minutes to nine. The vessel carried upwards of 400 persons. At Blackwell she took on board about 50 more passengers, and dashed on for Gravesend, where she landed those who did not wish to go further, and then steamed on to Southend. The company, at South end pier, went on shore, and were allowed three or four hours to re fresh themselves at the Royal Hotel and other houses on the hill above the beach. After such recreation and their walk upon the pier, they returned to the vessel, and on the war back called at m Gravesend inthe fo e r m t p h l is .y e oftheleft in the morning. It was past ten at night when the Star reached London-bridge. Music and dancing in one of the towers,arb creased the pleasure experienced by the party.

Van Diemen's Land seems going aux aboix in consequence of Lord Stanley's system there, and I believe if we had things better establiMied here we should have an extensive immigration from it and its neighbours." Nothing was known at the Cook's Straits settlement of what Captain Grey's intentions were as to carrying on the war with the natives at the Bay of Islands; indeed, the dis tance of the seat of Government from these settlements is so great a drawback that the settlers know nothing of what is doing by the Government, excepting through the Sydney newspapers.

CORN AVERAGES. GENERAL AVERAGE PRICES OF BRITISH CORN For the Week ended June 13, 1846, made up from the Returns of the Inspectors in the different Cities and Towns in England and Wales per Imperial Quarter. AYRSHIRE AND GLASGOW. Mr. BOYLE said, as, according to the Committee in deciding on this Bill, it appeared the Committee thought the case for this Bill had to some extent bean made out, seeihg that they had laid it down that the Glasgow and Belfast Union would give every facility to entering on their line at Ayr, providing the Legislature should consent to the Ayrshire and Galloway Bill passing the next year, be now prayed that the decision might be recohsidered, so that the preamble of the portion of the scheme from Ayr to Dalmellington, which scarcely any objection had been taken to, might be granted. The CHAIRMAN said he was nut prepared to state all the reasons that had led the Committee to the decision ; still the Learned Gen tleman was correct in saying that the main objection to the line w as to the portion south of Dalinellington. They did not, however, feel disposed to re•,onsider their decision, but they would do this—they would take care that a clause should be inserted in the Glasgow and Belfast Union Bill providing that every facility should be given to the. Ayrshire and Galloway Ilne at any future time entering.Ayr by the former line. CALEDONIAN EXTENSION. Counsel for this line said the promoters had an intention of restrict ing their project to the portion cast of Muirkirk, thereby giving up that front rto Muirkirk, under the impression that in so doing the petitioners against the line, who were landowners on the portion pro posed to be given up, could then have no locus standi against the remainder or the scheme. A long argument ensued pro and con., the petitioners' Counsel con tending that the petitions were against the whole scheme as uncalled for, and, therefore, against any portion that might be retained, while the other side maintained that the petitioners could onl;,' direct their opposition to the portion that had relation to their respective pro pertics and interests, which was that between Ayr and Muirtirk, which the promoters with a proper understanding were disposed to abandon. Precedents of Committee proceedings have been given by counsel on both sides, the room was cleared. On our re-admission, TheAMMAN said that the Committee were of opinion, as this was an integral scheme throughout, that though a por ion of it might be abandoned, still the petitioners had a locus standi, and might be al:owed to proceed against that part of the scheme which remained. To put an end, however, to any doubt, he was willing to consult the Speaker on the point. Mr. Coclusuits hoped the Chairman would consult the Speaker, and adjourn till to-morrow, when the promoters would ho prepared to state the ourse they intended to take. The Commit tee consented, and accordingly adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. GROUP XVII.

Was nit aware of the exact distance, but if It was eighteen miles it would be an important drawback. By Sir W. JAMESt—The break of gauge presented so many incon veniences, that parties could, 11 posJible, go round in order to avoid it. Mr. Wortley, land valuer and land agent, had valued the whole of the land which would be required for the purposes of the railway at 198,841/. ; 847 acres would be required, which he had taken at 2351. per acre, which he considered was at the fair market value. It did not, however, include the land which would be requiredfer stations. GROUP XVI 11. IMPORTANT DECISION. The Committee met at the usual hour; Mr.B. Denison, chairman. After hearing evidence this morning, the Committee declared that the preambles of the EXETER, YEOVIL, DORCHESTER, AND THE LONDON, S....MISEUELY, AND YEOVIL Bills were proved, and that the preamble of the Exeter (Great Western) Bill, promoted by the Great Western Company, was not proved. The Committee then adjourned. GROUP XXXI. BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM (ASH CHURCH, TEWKESBURY, AND MALVERN). The Conynittee assembled this morning at the usual hour, awl were engaged In hearing evidence on the part of the opponents f the line. The case having been concluded the room was ordered to be cleared. On our re-admission, the CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were of opinion that the pi eamble of the Bill had not been proved by the evidence. The counsel for the promoters ished to know in what respect the evidence was deficient. The Ca./mm.414 said that it was not the duty of the Committee to make out the case of the promoters or to show in what way It was deficient. The case had certainly not failed through any deficiency in the engineering evidence. GROUP XX.XIII, The Committee on this group met to-day at twelve o'clock in room No. 24 (Grand Corridor); present Sir Robert Ferguson (chair man), the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollctt, and Mr. Fellowes. They proceeded with the further consideration of the three branches of the Warwickshire and London Railways, namely— WORCESTER AND WEED ON, HAMPTON AND ASECHURCH, HAMPTON AND BANBURY. Sir Willoughby Gordon, Quartermaster• General, was examined by Mr. KENNET MACAULEY. Be attended in obedience to a postscrip from the House ofCommons. He could not be supposed to know anything of railway s, much less of their relative merits, exceptas to the conveyance of her Majesty's troops. The accommodation proposed to be afforded to Weedon would be of importance to the service. That place was an ordnance depot. There was not a large number ot troops keys there—oily a competent number for. the protection ot the depot. It would, be of great importance to have_ a railway from Weedon to Northampton, the distance being, however, only seven miles. The Weedon and Worcester line would be advantageous, as it would make the communication by railway between Weedoti and the port Of Plymouth complete and direct. In fact, every railway was of im • portance to her Majesty's military service, and that line was the most so which had the fewest breaks. Every break was inconvenient to a private faintly in travelling. It was more so, in the ratio of the numbers, to a body of troops. ',*:111 cross-examination by Mr. WAHLEY, Q.C., the Gallant Officer said that lie could give no opinion as between the competing lines. In this case the competing lines, by Connecting Wolverhampton with Weedon, Birmingham, Worcester, and Plymouth, would be of im portant advantage. The break of gauge and increased distance were disadvantageous. But shortness of distance was not always an ad vantage of itself. The consideration of shortness was frequently qua lified by circumstances of convenience. e could give no opinion as to the comparal ive merits of the broad and narrow gauges. He was in the habit of transmitting by railway an average of sixty thousand troops per annum, and he had found the accommodation afforded to her Majesty's service by the directors of both systems such, that he could not have effected the transit of the troops more conveniently if he had directed it himself. Colonel Thornton, commandant of Birmingham, gave evidence of a similar character. Sir Charles Knightley, Bart.. M.P. for North Northamptonshire. was examined 1).% Mr. K. MAcatmetr, and gave evidence strongly in favour of these lines, as regards the advantage to the agricultural interests in the conveyance of produce, &c., and to the general inte rests of the public in the conveyance of coals and other articles of consumption. However, it was chiefly a ith a view to the agricul tural benefit he was favourahle to the Warwickshire and London system of railways. GROUP XLII. LIVERPOOL, onavissizz, AND PRESTON, The Committee assembled in Room, No. 23, in the New House; this morning, and proceeded with examinations with respect to the value of the land and the sufficiency of the estimates for the line. GROUP XLVIII. The Committee appointed to dispose of the cases in this group met at one o'clock, hi Room 31, Mr. Oldham, chairman. The following are the Bills to be heard :—Monmouth and Hereford, Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford, Carnarvon, Coalbrook Steam Coal, and Swansea and Loughor, the Tenby, Saunderafoot, and South Wales, Lynvi Valley and South Wales Junction, Taft' Vale, and the Monmouthshire. The first case taken was THE LYNVI VALLEY AND SOUTH WALES ZUN CTION. Mr. Mills appeared for the promoters. The Bill was opposed by certain landowners. _ The Learned Counsel, In a brief address, laid the merits of the case before the Committee, after which the evidence was proceeded with. GROUP LIII. This Committee resumed its labours at twelve o'clock to-day, in Room 26 (Grand Corridor). Present, the Bon. G. Lascelles (chair man), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. It.

The business of the morning commenced by a cross-examination of Mr. Stephenson, Jun., the engineer of the line, by Mr. F. Robinson, counsel for the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line.

The station of this line at Birmingham was an exact mode l of the station of the M anchester an d Leeds Railway at Manchester, the world. which had the larg es t t raffic ill e xtensive practice at Birmingham,Mr. Wm. Ilayes, a solicitor of stated that his offices were in New-s treet , and that h e h as b een clerk to the town commission for the las t twenty. five years. He was also agent to Colonel Gouch, and other gentle men over w h ose properties this arid its rival lines line at .1;11111,1„ra/19Xa y.o li al LI d would pass. The stati on o f thi s eCltrily praeratis to its rivals • 111 inhabitants of Birmingham were of the same opinion. The other lines would enter the town by tunnels, whilst this would enter by a *viaduct which was a preferable mode. It would stop op narrow streets, and instead give a wide one. The junction of the London and Birmingham with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham would be of great advantage to the public. The rival companies did not con template such &junction. Cross-examined by Mr. RoatrisoN—He understood that it would be necessary to descend a flight of about 24 steps to get upon the level of this line at New-street. Mr. Alderman Weston, of Birmingham, stated that he had served the office of Mayor of Birmingham, and that about a week ago the stations of these rival lines in Birmingham formed the subject of a discussion by the Town Council of Birmingham, and the result was a decision in favour of this company's station ; the majority being 16 to 6. He considered New-street the most favourable position for a station, as it was the central part of the town. and the approaches to it were easy. The station of this line would give the best accommodation to the people of Birmingham, and all with whom he had conversed on this subject were in favour of it. The approaches to the Snowhill sta tion would be very narrow, and it would be on a steep acclivity. Cross-examined by Mr. ROBINSON-111s place of business was close by New-street, and so were those of the majority of the people with whom he had conversed on the subject. EXETER and EXMOUTH RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) A special meeting of the proprietors and shareholders of this Company took place this day at the London Tavern, in compliance with the sessional orders, to consider the pro priety of proceeding with their Bill at present before Parlia ment for the purpose of making a railway from Exeter to Exmouth. The meeting was advertised for ten o'clock, but it did not commute until eleven, in consequence of the non• attendance of the proprietors, at length three or four shareholders having assembled, E. Woolmer, Eq., was called to the chair. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement convening the meeting, The CitatnnAN said that the non• attendance of the pro prietors arose, he considered, from the great confidence they vested in the directors. Their Bill bad passed the House of C munons Committea, and had received the sanction of that House. It had also passed the Committee on Merits, and stood now awaiting the decision of that meeting, before it could receive its third reading and become the law '.t the land. The directors had received a sufficient quantity of scrip to constitute a meeting, and he would, therefore, pro pose a iesolution to the effect—" That it was the opinion of the meeting that the Bill should be proceeded with." '1 he resolution was put, and declared to be unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN observed that, although the expenses would be exceedingly moderate in carrying out the line, the directors considered that the proprietors would be much better satisfied with the arrangement which had been effected with the South-Western Company,who had guaranteed them 5% percent.—(hear.) The Bill was then read to the meeting, which declared that the capital of the company should be 160,000/., in 16,000 shares at 101. per share, and that the calls should not exceed 2/. per share, and that interest of four per cent. should be paid upon the calls. There was a clause of sale also in- serted, where;►v the company were authorised to sell the line to the Exeter, - Yeovil, az,d Dorchester Company, and a pro vision which enacts that the Bill is not to come into opera tion until the Exeter and Yeovil, or some such other com pany, obtain an Act for the construction of an Exeter and Yeovil line within the sessions of Parliament of 1846 and 1847. The meeting then separated. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) LEWIS V. ROE. This was an action in trover, brought by Mr. Lewis, the Sheriff 's officer, against Mr. Roe, an officer of the Guildhall Pclice-court, for the unlawful conversion of certain goods in his possession, the pro perty of the .plaintiff, or detaining the said goods for the purpose of depriving the plaintiff of the use of them. The present action arose out of certain proceedings that took place last year, arising out of a seizure of goods belonging to a Mr. Cole, on the part of Messrs. Bond and Co. At the instance • f the latter Mr. Lewis made a seizure of a diamond ring. a gold watch, and chain, and other other articles of jewellery, which were subse quently advertised for sale on behalf of the seizing party by Mr. Isaacs, th auctioneer. A brother of Mr. Cole attended the sale, and made the purchase of what he conceived to be the seized articles, but upon exhinination Weenie out that the goods were not' the articles 'that were seized, but jewellery of an inferior character which had been substituted. Some proceedings arose- in consequence of this disco very, when Mr. Lewis, Mr. Isaacs, and other parties were brought up before Mr. Alderman larebrother on tile charge of conspiracy, with intention to defraud. The goods sold to Cole's brother, with those that were ascertained to be the goods actually seized were produced in Court, and at tin order of the Alderman, Mr. Roe, the officer of the Court, was instructed to take possession of them, and Mr. Lewis was held In bail for a charge that might be preferred against him at the ensuing Central Criminal Court. The second examination at Guildhall took place on the 19th of April. The ensuing sessions were held on the 12th of May, but the case did not come on then. In the meantime an ar rangement was c,me to between the parties, Mr. Lewis giving an undertaking, that if no further proceedings were taken he woul , J. deliver up the goods, and meet certain expenses arising out of the proceedings. On the 9th of June a demand was made on the defendant, Mr. Hoe, to give up the goods, in order to be able to fulfil the undertaking entered into by Mr. Cole's attorney. Mr. Roe re fused ; and at the sessions held on the 20th Jane, a verdict of " not guilty" was, with consent, entered, and the matter was disposed of, subject to the undertaking be lig completed. The present action, therefore, was brought against Roe for detaining the goods when demanded to deliver them up on the 9th of June, and after the parties had compromised the matter. . . Counsel to-day was heard on both sides, and a host of witnesses examined, the Learned Gentleman for the plaintiffdweffing strongly on the difficulty his client was" placed in, after having made an ar rangement, not being enabled to carry it into effect from the deten tion 01 the goods, thus being subject to an action for not fulfilling the contract he had been a party to. Mr. Justice PATTESoN, in charging thejury, said that it was per fectly clear that the magistrate had a light to order the goods to be detained, to satisfy the ends of justice, and that the officer had a right to hold them and not to deliver them up to any one till the matter was finally disposed of in C"urt. Now, the demand was made on the 9th of Juno, and thi• case was not before the sessions till after the 20,11; the point, therefore, they bad t consider was, did the de fendant, under the circumstances, detain the good with the object of unlawfully eonverting them to his own use, or of depriving the .plain tiff 01 the permanent use of them. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, JUNE 13.—His Majesty the King sr' rived yesterday morning, in perfect health, from. his visit to Weimar.

John Graham was placed at the bar, indicted for feloniously killing and slaying Thos. Blewitt, in the month of May la-t, in Drury-lane. Mr. Itna ND, who conducted the case for the prosecution, ad dressed the jury, and proceeded to call witnesses. Louisa Cook, having been sworn, stated that on Saturday, the 25th of April, she was passing through Drury•lane, about five minutes past eight o clock, when she met the prisoner, and pushed acciden tally against him. He made use of a bad expression, and said, " How did you do that ? Go along." She called him a puppy, and went up Prince's street, but was followed by the prisoner, who caught her by the shoulder, and atter a few words went to Drury lane. He returned a second time, with a pistol under his right arm, and the witness said to him, " If you don't go away I'll give you in charge," and called out Police." The prisoner ran away, and she saw no more of him till near an hour after, when he was id the.cus tody of the police. Gross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—She never saw the prisoner before that night. She was certain the prisoner is the same person. William Hathaway, compositor, said about twenty •flve minutes to nine o'clock on that night he saw the prisoner in Drury-lane with a pistol presented In his right hand. He walked up to the witness, having the muzzle of the pistol presented at him. Witness moved aside and stood still, the prisoner also made a stop. There was another man near at the time. Immediately after witness heard a report of a pistol, and Blewitt say " I'm shot." The prisoner after wards ran away with the pistol in his hat d. By the JUDGE—Witness S'AV the prisoner all the time, and when he fired he was but a yard from him. Blewitt stood near the wit • ness ; neither of them, however, had touched the prisoner. There were many others passing at the time. Charles Gilmour corroborated the testimony of the other witnesses. He saw both the prisoner and the deceased within five or six yards of each other, the prisoner having something in his right hand, and the instant atter he heard the report and saw the flash. The deceased staggered, and the prisoner stood for a minute and a half and then rats away. He heard the prisoner, after being caught, repeatedly say it was an accident. Cross-examined—The witness saw the prisoner's hands in a posi tion such as they would assume in reducing the pistol to half-cock. Police-constable F 32 saw the occurrence, and heard the deceased cry out, "0 Lord, 0 d ar !" Witness walked seven or eight paces, and met the prisoner, to whom he said, " Why, what's the matter ?" The prisoner said his pistol had gone off by accident. Witness did not see anything in his hand, and as several persons cried out a man had shot himself, he let the prisoner go. John Fisher, a chimney-sweep, said he laid hAd of the prisoner and gave him into the custody of a policeman. The prisoner had a pistol at the time iu his pocket, which he said he had let off iu Drury lane. Police-constable F . 83 searched the prisoner at the station-home, and found five leaden bullets and a powder flask on him. James Duncan, one of the house-surgeons at King's Collage Hos pital, examined— Was there when Thomas Biewitt was brought in, having received a gun-shot woutti on the right side of the chest. The ballet had struck the fifth rib on its entrance, and passed out near the seventh. That wound was tha cause of lifewitt's death. Mr. CraassoN then addressed the jury In defence of the prisoner, (The trial was proceedii,g when our report left.) MARLBRW-STREET—crins DAY. A stalwart powerful man, about 40 years of age, dressed in fashion able style, who on being charged at the station-house, described him self as" John ifacduna4, captain in the British army, and at present residing at St. John's Wood," was placed at the bar to answer for committing the following outrageous and unprovoked assault upon Mr. John Lovelace, a tradesman, living at No. 16, Cas le-street, Leicester-square. The complainant stated that between eleven and twel o'clock last night, as lie was entering the door of his own residence, the defendant suddenly came upon him, and striking him a heavy blow on the head felled him to the ground. Whilst he was lying prostrate on the footway pavement, and nearly insensible from the effects o: the defendant's violence, lie ma•:e a furious kick at a part of com plainant's i erson likely to produce the most serious, it not fatal con sequences. Fortunately at the instant police -sergeant No. 115 of the division came up and secured the detendant. The sergeant said he was on the opposite side of the way and wit nessed the attack made by the defendant upon the complainant; it was of a most violent and brutal description; the complainant most luckily escaped the injury the defendant evidently intended by the kick he attempted to inflict. Mr. Mavrav asked if the complainant gave the defendant any pro vocation whatever? The complainant—None in the least. Mr. Maianr—Do you know him?
