HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning 16 minutes after 2. f Evening .. 40 minutes after 2. 4 ' .fr• •-• • ••, 16" 1.1 1 e •Al at /Horn% LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1846. Although the principal glory of this session will be attributed to the gigantic reformations in the com mercial code realised by the PEEL Ministry, and al though the succeeding Administration will have ex isted only during the mere residue; of the session, a share of its glory will nevertheless be associated with the RUSSELL Cabinet—the glory of consummating the triumph of free trade. A very bri e f per i o d h as elapsed since ou r new legislators came into office, and yet, notwithstan din g the multiplicity of embar- xassments by which they were threatened, the Bill in troduced under their auspices for the equalisation of the sugar duties has &ready passed through Com mittee in the Commons. The hidden rocks, which some amongst the enemies to monopoly had dreaded, have all melted away; nothing re ,e.7 mains but smooth water and a fair wind. st- , - Accelerated by the despondency of the spirit of mono poly, the transition of the English policy towards a liberal series of mercantile enactments is most pro pitious. Nothing now remains to be done to IHE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNI - NO, AUGUST 8, 1846. transfer the Ministerial measure from the tables of Parliament to the leaves of the statute-book but a third reading in the Lower House, a rapid passage through the House of Peers, of which no doubt now remains in existence, and, thirdly, the Je-le-veux of our most gracious SOVEREIGN. Our reasons for feeling thus confident of the accep tation of the Sugar Duties' Bill are of the simplest description. We are not sanguine upon false pre mises—our hopes are assured by our judgment. First, as to the sanction of her MAJESTY, no moral doubt can exist in the mind either of the most sanguine pro tectionist or of the most nervous free-trader. It would be ingratitude for what has already received the approbation of our QUEEN-it would be super fluous after the disposition she has evinced throughout her reign, after ' the liberal policy which she has invariably encou raged and countenanced, after her acquiescence in the clauses of the Corn and Customs' Bills, after her be haviour during the changes of November and Decem ber, and after summoning Lord JonN RUSSELL to the head of affairs with so much of gracious alacrity and confidence—it would, we say, be both superflu ous and ungrateful after all this to dilate upon the probability of her MAJESTY'S sanction to the proposed measures. And equally superfluous and almost equally ungrateful would it be to endeavour to prove the chance of success to those measures in the Commons, when we remember that they have already proceeded so far through that as sembly, and been approved by a gigantic majority of one hundred and thirty. The only possibility, therefore, of failure would remain with the Right Hon. Members of the Upper House, and that the Bill will be carried triumphantly, but quietly, through that august body, there is now an absolute cer tainty. No opposition of a substantial character will be raised by the agricultural aristocracy ; the House will not even be pressed to a division. This has actually been resolved upon by those legislators themselves, in solemn conclave assembled. And the announcement is thus made by our Contemporary the Morning Post : " A meeting of Conservative Peers took place yesterday at the residence of Lord Stanley, in St. James's-square, for the purpose of considering the course which ought to be pur sued in the House of Lords with respect to the Sugar Duties' Bill. 'We understand that there was but one opinion among the• Peers present as to the measure, which has excited the greatest disapprobation, both as regards the injustice to b 3 done to our colonies, and the deplorable stimulus which will be given to the slave trade by the proposed scale of duties becoming law. At the same time it was unanimously re solved that at this late period of the session the question ought not to be carried to a division, however strongly Lord Stanley and other Noble Lords may think it necessary on 1 the introduction of the measure to the House of Lords to place their own sentiments on the subject, and those of the party generally, before the country." _ .. Assuredly, after such a conclusion of such a deli beration, no further doubt can remain of the decisive victory of these Ineasures ! The present glorious session will be terminated thus gloriously. The nail has already been driven in, it will now be clenched. Some among the worshippers of monopoly had flattered themselves with the possi bility of defeat to the proposers of an alteration in the sugar duties. They pictured to themselves an analogy between the position of the free-traders under PEEL and RUSSELL, and the fable of the horse and the mule. The salt melted away in passing the stream, the spunge absorbed so much water in its transit, that the bearer and itself foundered. The Protectionists fondly augured a realisation of this fable; they conceived that though the sack of corn had been carried through a turbulent opposition, the sack of sugar might still be swallowed up in the current, and its supporter himself be lost in the catastrophe. Their imaginations have proved illusory ; according to their own showing their expec tations have turned out to be delusions. Free trade as a great national principle is therefore consolidated. Monopoly is gasping in its final agonies ; and, looking at its dinners, its meetings, its toasts, its Parliamentary orations, its protests, its sarcasms, and its vituperations, it dies like the dolphin —with a variety of very brilliant and very evanescent colours. Like the dolphin, monopoly has thrown itself into many strange contortions during its existence—like the dolphin, it is most beautiful in its death. With the completion of this session protection will become a byword in the language. At no period of time has England been in a more peaceful state in her relations with foreign Powers than she happily is at the present moment. Every thing presents a prospect of the most profound tran quillity. The political atmosphere is free from the slightest cloud, and we may hope that grim-visaged war will long be a stranger to our shores, that we may cultivate the arts of peace, and devote our great resources to the furtherance of our commer cial and mercantile prosperity, the attain ment of those blessings for the universe, the whole family of mankind, which can only be at tempted under such propituous circumstances. Every man may rest under his own vine and his fig-tree ; but the experience of past ages has taught us that if we are desirous of the long-continued enjoyment of this great national blessing, we must not convert our swords into ploughshares. We must retain the former as trusty and well-tried friends at our side. Having them in our possession ready for immediate use, will, in all human probability, dispense with the necessity of having recourse thereto. We should be— " Ready, aye ready for the field." lAnd our being so will afford the best guarantee that a war will not he forced upon us, or only avoided at the expense of the national honour. In such a state of preparation, we can assume an attitude at once temperate and firm, ready to do anything be coming a mighty nation to avoid so fearful an alternative, to preserve that peace so justly and so highly prized, but still to defend the rights and interests of our country, to avoid unwise or dis honourable concession. While we do so there is little danger that our eftbrts to avoid war will be ascribed to timidity, cowardice, or any other unworthy motive, and England will still maintain the proud position she has assumed amongst the nations of the earth. This season of tranquillity, then, is the time of all others that we can place ourselves in that state of prepara tion, without exciting the jealousy of other powers, or calling forth remonstrances from them. It is not by a present increase of our naval and military force that this object is to be achieved, but by a proper organisation, a comprehensive and well-considered system, by which we should be enabled without delay to preserve the services of well-trained and hardy men, who would have such encouragement held out to them that they would gladly enter into the service of their country at a moment's notice, and think that they had attained a most desirable object in being received therein. We should, in the language of the Secretary of the Admiralty, by the adoption of a judicious system, collect and recal those elements of strength now scattered over the whole globe. We should so far improve the condition and mode of treatment of our gallant sailors, that they would no longer be under the necessity or temptation of seeking fro:n other countries that employment which cannot be obtained in their own, or which, if ob tained, is either inadequately remunerated, or subjected to such painful and degrading conditions, and incidents, that few independent men with minds at all elevated will consent to accept it. In our columns this day will be found a letter from a cap. tain in the royal navy, to which we invite the atten tion of our readers. His first statement, that events equally unprovoked and unforeseen have occurred within the last ten years to bring England to the verge of war, and her want of preparation, is fully cor roborated by what was stated by the Secretary for the Admiralty, in bringing forward the naval estimates on the 24th ultimo, " That it would be both unsafe and unwise, he believed it would be dishonourable, for England again to run the risk she had twice done during the last five years, from an unwillingness to increase their naval establishment, when any sudden rupture here, or on the other side of the Atlantic, would have found us unprepared." Surely such a state of things cannot be suffered to continue ; there is no degree of expenditure within our 1 means that should not gladly be encountered to prevent the possibility of such a recurrence. Our wooden walls have ever afforded protection to Britons an d kept ene m i es at a d i stance f rom our s h ores . The prosperity of E ng l an d h as pr i nc i pa ll y ar i sen from her maritime superiority; and we should not suffer any unwise economy or paltry saving to endanger the British flag. We s h ou ld recollect that of late years a mighty element, hitherto little if at all, known, certainly not made use of in any of our former contests, has arisen, that a a mighty change will be thereby effected in naval tactics and naval discipline, that the very discovery will prevent the possibility of defending our shores from attack, by blockading the hostile fleet—that a steam navy affords the greatest possible facility to attack, far more than proportionate to its advantages as a defensive armament ; and we must not be content to let things remain in statu quo, or, to use the antiquated and oft-repeated argument, that such things were sufficient for our fathers, and that therefore they may satisfy their children. We must keep up to the spirit of the times, and avail ourselves to the fullest extent of every new improvement. The tradesman or manu facturer who will be contented with his old tools or machinery, while his competitors avail themselves of new facilities, will speedily sink into bankruptcy and ruin. So the country that remains inactive and dor mant must be satisfied to sink in the scale of nations. We must guard against such a calamity happening to our fatherland. One of the most important considerations, as we have already said, at the present moment is to obtain a means of speedily maiming our fleet without being obliged to have resource to the palpably unjust, the atrocious system of impressment—a system so vile that its strongest advocates have never been enabled to utter one word in its defence, to justify its use, save on the tyrant's plea of necessity. It is hard to conceive what robbery, what abomination could not be supported on the same ground; the robber, the burglar, may say to his victim, "You have abundance, I am without ; it is necessary that I should have means of support, and therefore, having strength to do so, I take from you by violence what I want." It was on such a plea that slavery, with all its attendant horrors, was so long sanctioned in our colonies and spoken for in our Legislature—that man was permitted to kidnap his fellow-man and lead him into captivity and sorrow. We confess we cannot perceive the differ ence between a support of the slave-trade and the system of impressment, save that in one case the vic tim is of a different colour and climate, while in the other he is our fellow-subject, connected with us by all the ties that bind man to man, of common origin, of common language. The latter victim worships at the same altar with ourselves, and yet we unhesitatingly rob him of his liberty, drag him from home, relations, friends, and those with whom he is connected by still nearer and dearer ties—who are dependent on him for support, and who, during his forced absence from home for a long continued period, while exposing his life to all the vicissitudes of war or of climate for a scanty and inadequate remuneration, far from that which he could obtain if free in the merchant service— are left in comparative poverty and destitution to pine for the return of the husband, the father, of whose guardianship they are robbed by the Government that ought to protect its innocent subjects. Our space this day forbi3s a continuance on this topic, and it is far too important to be dismissed in a summary manner. We shall speedily return to its consideration. Prince METTERNICH, who is at the Chateau of Konigswarth, expected a visit from the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA. on the 30th. The affairs of Poland will, it is said, be discussed during the visit of the monarchs. The rejoicings at Rome on account of the amnesty, had terminated on the 28th. His Holiness Pius IX. had MM. Ruxzi, GULETTI, and the other prin cipal amnestied prisoners introduced to him, and had a long interview with them • of a touching character. A measure for the dis missal of the Swiss troops is under consideration The presence of an Austrian squadron at Ancona prevented any expression of feeling at that port, but throughout the rest of the Papal dominions the rejoicings and fetes had been universal. At a secret consistory of Cardinals, held on the 27th, the POPE addressed to them the following allocation : " Venerable Brothers,—ln regarding for the first time at this place your noble assembly, and at the moment of ad dressing you, vencracle brothers, we again feel the emotion with which you saw us so powerfully agitated when by your very kind suffrages we were raised to the place of the Pontiff Gregory XVI., of glorious memory. The thought has pre sented itself to us, that a great number of cardinals known at home and abroad by their eminent talent and wisdom, by their experience in affairs, and by all kic•Cs of virtues, could soothe the regret caused by the death of the Pontiff; whom God had just cllled to himself, and make us merit the honour of succeeding him • and yea, laying aside all the reasons of human wisdom, anconsidering only in the ardour of your zeal the Catholic Church lamenting its 10-s, have thought only of consoling and supporting it, so that by the union of your will, and not without a secret inspiration of Divine Providence after scarcely two days of conclave, elected us to the sovereign Pontificate, however unworthy, without doubt, particularly in these times so full of dalamity for the Christian and civil republic. But we know that God, from time to time, manifests his power in the slightest things on earth, in order that men may attribute nothing to themselves, and render honour and glory only where it is due. It is thus, that venerating his inscrutable designs for our selves, we have relied on his celestial succour. But whilst we render, and shall always render, thanks first, as is just, to the Almighty God who has raised us, however unworthy, to the highest dignity, we also express our gratitude to you, who, interpreters and ministers, have pronounced so honourable, although unmerited, a judgment upon our humility. We shall, therefore, never have anything me - :e at heart than to show in an effectual manner the spee'ol zeal of our kindness towards you, allowing no oppor tunity to pass of maintaining and protecting the s and dignity of your order, and of being agreeable to you in all that depends on us. As to you, we expect with confidence, from your affection, that you will assist us assiduously with your counsel, your support, and your zeal, in order that no affair, sacred or profane, may suffer de triment from our elevation. We are bound to labour toge ther in close union, to secure the welfare and glory of the Church, our common mother—to maintain, with a firm and persevering courage, the dignity of the epos' olic see— and secure with all our care the tranquillity and mutual concord of the Christian flock, in order that, with the blessing of God, it may increase daily in merit and in number. Continue, then, as you have commenced, to deserve well of us, and let us together ask of God, by our daily prayers, that, chosen by hits!, we may walk ire his way; and that, after having implored the succour of the blessed Virgin Mary, with the aid of the holy apostles Peter and Paul, we may obtain, by the most fervent prayers, from Jesus, the supreme author of our religion and our apostolate, the grace of a favourable regard cast upon us from the holy hill of Sion, and that he may approve of the transports of joy (:o' a people devoted to his glory, in order to render salutary and happy all our acts and all our efforts for the universal Church confided to our care, and for the people subjected to our power." Madrid papers to the 31st ult. have arrived. According to the Herald° the QUEEN had intended to grant an amnesty on the occasion of her mother's birthday, but had delayed its publication in conse quence of the conspiracy at Pampeluna, and the attitude assumed by the refugees in Portugal. A man had been arrested at Barcelona charged with having entered the city for the purpose of killing General BRETON. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 31.—The Three per Cents were done at 34 for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 22.4 5 and the Passives, at 6:4. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Ministerial victory is complete. The returns are known in all cases, except 37, and should those 37 be all in favour of the Opposition, the Ministers would have a working majority. The Ministerialist return already exceeds a moiety of the Chamber by 33, and their actual majority over the Opposition is 104. There have been 90 new Members returned; among them are the Marquis de la Valette and M. Blanqui, the celebrated political economist. At Toulouse, in consequence of the election of the Abbe DE GENOUDE, there was some rioting, and cries of Vive Henri V. were heard—the police, however, arrested some of the rioters, and order was speedily restored. At Montpelier, too, there was a partial emeute in consequence of the defeat of M. LARCY by M. REINAUD. The mob made an attempt to carry off the ballot-box, and the civil authorities sent for the military to protect them. In the evening there was a riot at the Prefecture, and cries of A bas le Prefet, A bas M. Reihaud, were uttered. The ring leader was arrested, and the mob was dispersed. There was some disturbance at Perpignan, which was soon put down, and at Vinca, where the civil authorities were set at defiance, a battalion of in fantry and a detachment of chasseurs had restored order. The Due DE BROGLIE has been invited to be pre sent at a Cabinet Council at Eu, for the purpose, it is rumoured, of being offered the Presidency of the Council, as Marshal SOULT has determined to retire. Other accounts state that the Presidency will be conferred on M. GuizoT. The regicide HENRY remains incarcerated at the Conciergerie, and is interrogated every day. He states he purchased the pistols of a dealer on the Quai des Messageries, but refuses to give any positive answer as to the nature of the charge put into the pistols. In his first declaration he said that they were loaded with slugs, which he had made himself, but he refused to say of what metal they were made, adding, that, in all probability, they would be found, when if shown to him he could rea dily recognise them, but until then it would be use less to enter into any further details. The prisoner continues perfectly calm and composed. He enters into conversation with his keepers, and appears to look with impatience to the hour for his meals, which he takes with a good appetite, and he sleeps well. The heat had become almost intolerable in Paris. On Tuesday the thermometer (Farenheit) marked 87i degrees ; on Wednesday 951. " We have received from Pontanion," says the Con stitutionnel— " Some information of rather a strange nature. We have been told that three Englishmen, sentenced last year by the first Council of War,sitting at Papieti ( Otaheite), to ten years' hard labour, and confined during six weeks in the bagne of Brest, had been hastily removed from it on the 25th of July, and conveyed to Pontanion. It was stated that they were released in consequence of a letter written by one of them to his ambassador in Paris, who bad been instructed by his Government to expostulate upon the condemnation of his countrymen by a French court-martial, sitting in a country which England did not consider placed under the authority of France. We are the more inclined to credit this supposi tion, as an order was lately received to take off the chains and the convict dress which these men had brought with them to Pontanion. This looks very like another Pritchard affair."

The Committee appointed to inquire into the merits of this Bli met this morning for the first time. The members of the Committee are Earl St. Germans (chair man), the Duke of Rutland, the Bishop of Durham, Lord Byron, and Lord Beaumont. Appearances were put in for a host of oppanents, among them core—Mr. Scarisbrook, represented by Mr. Merryweather and Mr. Kerr ; the Manchester and Southport Railway , and Liverpool and Preston Railway, by Mr. Hope, Mr. Monk, and Mr. Marshall, for whom Mr. Selwyn appeared. The counsel for the promoters were Mr. Austin, Q.C., Mr. Talbot, Q.C., Sergeant Bellasis, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. Calvert. Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., opened the case for the promoters of the Bill, and in so doing expressed his regret, that although this case had been thoroughly sifted in the Committee of the House of Commons during the present session, the promoters would still have to contend against the determined hostility of the , .e :parties, who nad been so signally defeated before the Committee of the other house. He stated that it would be almost impossible in a line of C;is I,tigai to find one which would afford such a vast amount of benefit as the present; it would accommodate an immense local population, amounting, he believed, to upwards of a million and a half. A vai iety of details were then gone into by the Learned Counsel, which the public are awarehas been given at considerable length in the proceedings bebre the House of Commons' Committee. The total length of the line was about thirty-seven miles. The main line was twenty-two miles In length ; the Southport branch seven miles three furlongs ; the skelmersdale branch 2!4 miles, and there was one or two other small branches near Liverpool of about a mile in length. The estimated cost was 700,000/. Mr. E. Eccles, cotton worker of Liverpool, was the first witness examined. Mr. MERREWETHEII was proceeding to cross-examine the witness on behalf of the Blackburn and Bolton Rahway, when Mr. AUSTIN objected to his doing so, on the groand of his having no locus standi. After a short discussion the room was cleared, and the Committee decided that the Blackburn, Clitheroe, and Bolton Railway had no locus standi. Mr. Eccles was then cross-examined by Mr. FIoPE. Mr. T. Slat ter, land surveyor and agent to the Earl of Derby, was then examined by Mr. BRANDT on behalf of the promoters. Mr. MERREWETIIER and Mr. IlopE cross-examined at considerable length. Mr. R. Bateson, of Liverpool, cotton-broker, was examined by Mr. CALVERT, upon the amount of traffic between Liverpool and the towns to the north. Mr. HOPE cross•examine:l, with a view to show that the proposed line would not afford the necessary convenience, and that the saving of time to be effected by this line was not of any moment in the carriages of heavy goods and merchandise. Earl Skelmersdale was examined by Mr. BRANDT, upon the benefits to be derived from such a direct communication between Liverpool and Preston as the proposed line would afford, and which was viewed in a favourable light by the persons inhabiting these towns. Cross-examined by Mr. MERREWETIIER—The proposed line would not pass through any manufacturing cistrict between Skelmersdale and Liverpool. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—He was examined before the Com mittee of the House of Commons. He viewed with equal favour the two schemes which had been brought before that Committee ; but the rival scheme having been rejected, he now supported the pro posed line, because he thought it better than none at all. By Earl St. GERMANS—He thought that of the two schemes the proposed line would afford the greatest amount of accommodation to the districts between Liverpool and Preston. Sir W. Feilden, M.P. for Inocki4urn, Chairman of the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston Railway, examined by Mr. CALVERT—He thought the proposed line most beneficial to the trading interests of the towns of Liverpool and Preston. Was requested by his con stituents to be the chairman of the company. _ - - Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—Did not know the course of the Liverpc3l and Preston Lailway, rejected in the House of Commons. Mr. Fat in - ,don, ot' Warden 115 1 1, near renwoilluttn, examined by TALEOT, have evidence in ,avour of the line. Crosz-examincl by Mr. iiopE —Prccerred the present line to the 02e whicla had been rejected in the House of Commons, on two grounds—firs:, bec - me it would prevent tie parties ;rom possessing a monopoly in he north traffic, and it would do less injury to his proper: y. Mr. Ei;:beck, examined by Mr. rRANDT, also spoke to the benefits which V'e proposed line would COP '2 , 7 upon the northern traffic. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—The propoed line would effect a saving of twelve miles over the present route from Prsston to Liver pool by way of the North Union and Parkshie Railways. By the Earl ST. GERMANS—Did not know the course of the re acted line. _ _ Mr. B. Moore, Chairman of the Liverpool Docks, examined by Mr. ALTsTIN, Q.C., spoke to the immense and increasing traffic in these docks, which he believed was not to be equalled in the world. The present dock trustees proposed to construct a line of railway alongside their docks, by means of which vessels could unload at the south end of the dock, and the goods could be conveyed rit once, without the expense of cartage, on to the pro rcsed line. Cattle could also be landed at this point at a'. times of the tide, and could be carried away without the incon venience o' driving through the streets of the town, which in general are very narrow. Cross-examined by Mr. Hors—The Manchester and Liverpool Railway had access by means of two junctions with the north and south end of the existing docks at Liverpool. Mr. Harrison of Newcastle, considered that the proposed line would afford great accommodation to the public and would open the means of communication between Newcastle and Liverpool. Cross-examined by Mr. Hors—The distance from Newcastle to Liverpool by the Newcastle and Darlington Railway would be 148, or a saving of distance eq ual to 38 miles . T he Newcastle traffic to re e Liverpool en t with 'va was at atpreaent sent to Blackburn, in consequence of an the East Lancashire line. The parties interested in the Newcastle and Liverpool traffic were anxious now to have two parties to deal with, for the purpose of effecting a favourable arrange ment for the conveyance of traffic from Blackburn to Liverpool. These two parties he considered would be the Bolton, Wigan, and Ormskirk Railway and the present Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston Railway. At this stage of the proceedings the Bishop of Durham, one of the members of the Committee, let the room in consequence of an en engagement which lie was unavoidably compeliad to attend. By the canton of all parties, however, the examination of the witnesses was proceeded with in his absence. T. Heskeath, examined by Mr. TALBOT—Was the owner of considerable property at Ru [ford, which was affected for the distance of four or five miles, and stated that he preferred the present to the rejected lines. Captain Bethel, of Preston, examined by Mr. CALVERT—Consi dered that the proposed line would be of very great importance to the troops stationed at Preston, as it would afford them the means of a direct route to Liverpool, and the Isle of Man new barracks were in the course of erection at Preston, both for cavalry and infantry, capable of containing 2,000 men. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE —Did not think that Fleetwood would be a good port for the embarkation of troops to Ireland. Did not know the rejected line. Had not been connected with the move ments of any troops by railway. Mr. Cherry, provision met chant, of Liverpool, examined by Mr. BRANDT—Thought the proposed line would be of great advantage. The CHAIRMAN here Intimated that the Committee were quite satisfied of the necessity of direct railway communication between Liverpool and Preston, and he thought it useless on the part of the promoters to offer any further evidence upon the point to which the evidence had been so long directed, and suggested the propriety of at once proceeding with the engineering evidence. The Committee would of course be perfectly ready to hear any evidence tending to show the comparative merits of the two lines, and also evidence which referred to that portion of the line between Southport and Liverpool, and the opening up of the Lancashire coal-fields. Mr. Forster, agent and owner of mines in Skelmersdale, was then examined by Mr. CALVERT—He considered that the Skelmersdale branch would atibrd the requisite means of conveyance necessary for opening up the coal-Heals in his neighbourhood the greatest con sumption of coals from the district where his mines were situated would be principally at Orrnskirk He thought there were about 140,000,000 tons of coals in the coal-field referred to, which could be carried by the Skelmersdale branch of the proposed railway. The coals were of an excellert quality, both for culinary and manufactur ing purposes. The present consumption of coals in Ormskirk was 55,000, and by the constraction of this line a saving of 3s. I Id. per ton would be effected to the consumer. Cross-examined by Mr. MERREwErnEit—The coal of Skelmers dale was not so good as that of Wigan. The scheme rejected in the Housa of Commons gave communication to the coal-fields of Wigan. The present line did not give that accommodation. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—The price of coal at the pit's mouth was Bs. per ton. It was delivered at 12s. At Skelmersdale the price of coal at the pit's mouth was 6s. Bd., and at Southport the same coal was sold for 10s. Ad. Mr. Farchurst, miller and corn-dealer of Ormskirk, and Mr. T. Kershaw, chemist of Ormskirk, gave evidence in favour of the pro posed line as between Ormskirk and Southport, the former of whom stated the amount of traffic between the two towns at 800 tons, and the latter at 1,500. In consequence of the discrepancy, Mr. Fare burst was recalled, and, in answer to a question put to him by the Noble Chairman, stated that the amount lie named referred only to provisions and groceries, and not to a more general traffic. The Committee then adjourned till 11 to-morrow. Room C. HUDDERSFIELD and MANCHESTER Italy. WAY and CAN (LL (OLDHAM BRANCH). The Chairman (the Earl of Rodnor), and the other members of the Committee on this Bill, met to-day at eleven o'clock. An agreement having been entered into between the promoters of this'Bill and the Manchester and Leeds Company , b y th e insertion of a clause with which both parties were satisfied, the opposition of all the petitioners was withdrawn, the Committee decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved, and the Chairman stated that he would report to the urine accordingly. OZDHAM, MaNC 3ms rzit, ILIVMI2.POOL, AND DIR.ILMNIMAD 3-UNCTION. ------ The CHAIRMAN said, that as the traffic proved to exist on the last line would apply to the present, lie did not think it would be neces sary to give any evidence on that head. Mr. [Sergeant WRANGIIAM then opened the case for the Bill. He said it was promoted and opposed by the same parties as the preceding Bill. It was intended by the promoters to construct a line from Old ham to Manchester to join with the Manchester and Birkenhead Railway, and consequently opening a direct communication between Oldham and Manchester, as well as between Oldham and the docks at Birkenhead. The length of the line was 7 miles 38 chains, and the estimated cast 480,000/. Mr. Alexander Taylor, of Mumps, was examined, and stated that the station of the Manchester and Leeds Company in his dis trict was extremely inconvenient, being better than a mile from Mumps. It was distant three-quarters of a mile from the market-place, and a considerable distance from the west-end of the town. From the hurry and confusion that prevailed there, it was quite inadequate to the wants of the district. Some other evidence was then adduced, and the Committee ad journed till Monday. Marshal Sebastiani is among the personages. of dis tinction sojourning at the baths of Lucca. Ernst, the violinist, is at Toplitz, which fashionable resort is uurecedentedly full this season, HAYMARKET THEATRE: The longest and most successful season ever recorded in the annals of any theatre, closed here last evening with the following address, spoken by Mr. Webster in the character of Nathan Thompson, after the conclusion of the new and suc cessful comedy of Borough Politics. This address is favour ably distinguished from the generality of managerial valedic tory addresses. It is true to the letter : . "Ladies and Gentlemen,—l must beg of you to suppose Nathan Thompson to be Mr. Webster addressing you, at the close of the pre sent highly successful season. Were Ito drop my character, I might lose it, and many would be glad to pick up the good one you have been pleased to give me for the many years devoted to your service. We have now been open 562 consecutive acting nights —that's rather a hard word for a countryman—consecutive acting nights; and the patronage you have so liberallylhestowed on the little theatre in the Haymarket, during the longest season of this or any other theatrical establishment, has given bread to hundreds. II thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you with all my heart. Indeed, my managerial life has been a succession of grateful acknowledgments of your favours. Allow me to hope that my efforts to please you hitherto will hold out good promises for the future. I assure you that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to carry another ensuing season with renewed vigour. I have reason to believe that I shall be enabled to present you with a large number of sterling comedies of British manufacture ; and when I mention the names of Douglas Jerrold, Sheridan Knowles, Bourcicault, Marston, with others, as yet unknown to fame or partiality so, dramatically speaking, my assertion will, I trust, not be considered without foun dation. I will, at all events, endeavour my utmost to deserve your approbation ; and what I says, I sticks to." " Ladies and Gentlemen, in the name of this company collectively and individually, until the 7th of September next I respectfully wish you all health and happiness." Mr. Webster then retired amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 60,000 to 70,000 bales. American sorts ranged from 4d. to 5 1 ,0. per lb.—Shares were not so lively. We have been favoured with a file of the .Neai Zealand Spectator, which bears date as late as the 14th March last. They notice several events which, as far as the colony is concerned, are of interest. From a statement made of the assets and liabilities of the Colonial Treasury of New Zealand, it appears that the liabilities amounted on the 15th November to 53,939/. 13s. 2d., and the assets to 4991. 9s. Id. The amount of specie in the Treasury chest was but 227/. 9s. ld., and taking bad and doubtful debts off, there was the considerable amount of 440/. 45. Id., to be provided for. In the three quarters ending September, 1845, the sale of Crown Lands had only produced 227/. 7s. 2d. It must be admitted that, notwithstanding the Parliamen tary grant, the revenue accounts of the colony are in a very indifferent position. The contention with respect to the Govern ment grants of land were still kept up, and it is affirmed that they have to a very considerable extent crippled the power of the Government. Indeed, it is asserted that the confirmation by Lord Stanley of the purchases under Captain Fitzroy's penny-an-acre proclamation would, as far as Auckland is concerned, tend to prevent immigration in that district. We cannot, however, believe the assertion hazarded thatthe Government had become powerless in that district. A pro clamation had been issued by the Governor putting an end to martial law. It would appear that a very fair amount of business is doing in the markets of New Zealand. Lamb's wool was freely taken at Is. 4d. per lb.—a good price for the produce of the colony. In imports a considerable amount of business was done. Freights were in demand at from 4/ to 6/. per ton. From another source we learn that more than thirty fami lies, settled in the valley of the Huth, had been driven from their houses by armed natives, that their crops had been in jured, and much property plundered. There was, however, but little personal violence. The military had punished the offenders, but not much of the property had been restored. In the Canso' Market there have been but a very few pur chases made this morning. For the Account the only prices have been 96 ; and for Money, 95 3 / 4 %. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is lower-7s. being now the only price. A purchase has been made in Bank Stock at 209 1 % ; and In dia Stock is firm, at a rise from 260 1 / 2 to 262. The New Five per Cent. Annuities are at 121. In the Foreign Stock Market the principal feature has been a fall of from 3 to 4 per cent. in the Portuguese Bonds, in consequence of some very heavy sales, said to amount to about 25,000/. or 30,000/. of the Four per Cents. The present price is from 38 to 40. Spanish Consols for the Account re mains at about 26 ; the Three per Cents. at 36% ; Mexicans have rallied to 25; but the Brazilian Bonds are heavy at 88. The Railway Share Market is firm this morning. There is a very good demand for East India Scrip, of which consi derable amounts have been taken within the last few days. BRITISH FUNDS.

The Lord Mayor and his friends spent the day in visiting the chief attractions of the city and neighbourhood ; and as it appeared to be his Lordship's wish that his visit should be as private and unostentatious as possible, there was nothing beyond a little additional bustle to denote that they were honoured with the company of the ruling powers of the great metropolis.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, August 7. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) MORTIMER V. STYLES. This was an action to recover the sum of 131. 10s. on an " 1.0. U." The defendant pleaded that he was neverindetited, on which a point was raised. On the part of the plaintiff the " 1.0. U." was put in, and proved to be in the defendant's hand-writing. The jury thereupon gave a verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant, whe was present, said it was a very hard care upon him, for although he certainly had had the money, the defendant owed him 601. The SECONDARY said that that ought to have been pleaded as a set off or satisfaction. The defendant said he left it all to his lawyer, who had now left the Court. The SECONDARY said, the defendant, if his story was cor rect, had been ill-advised by his attorney; but the jury could not have returned any other verdict upon the evidence, and indeed, by the forms of law, no proof of a larger sum being due could be admitted under the plea that defendant was never indebted. Some of the jury said the law was open to all, and no doubt a jury would decide in his favour in an action against hi: attorney. LLO YD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Auo. 7.—Wind W., light airs, and hazy.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.—Sir Robert Peel said, in his speech about art-unions, that " there was not a man who had a bad picture who did not endeavour to get rid of it by a raffle." Why not try the same means, then, for getting rid of the imitation Holbein in the Nation Gallery? A spirited raffle at ss. a share would certainly induce all the licensed victuallers to take a chance, in the hope of turning it into a public-house sign. It would doubtless pass at Pentonville, without fear of detection,for an original Marquis of Granby.—Punch. HEALTH IN THE METROPOLIS.—The returns of births and deaths in the metropolis, during the week ending Satur day last, do not present any very remarkable results. The number of births was 1,229, 635 being those of males, and 594 those of females. The number of deaths was 1,086, being 259 more than in the corresponding week of last year. The number of deaths of parsons under 14 years o f age was 457 ; from 15 to 60, 316 ; and from 40 upwards, 195, The greatest number of deaths has occurred from diarrhoea, being 186. The number of persons that died of cholera was 23, but it is right to mention that this WM English, not Asiatic cholera, PARMAIVIENTARY EXPENSES OF RAILWAY BILLS. The following extract from the recently delivered minutes of evidence before the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Railways gives curious details respecting the Parliamentary expenses attending the passing of Railway Bills. Mr. Robert Stephenson is the witness examined:-- " Can you give about the average of the Parliamentary ex: penses per mile on some of the greatest undertakings with which you have been concerned in this country?—l hav e known them vary from 5001. to 1,0001 per mile for Parlia mentary expenses alone. That must depend entirely on whether it is an opposed line or not ?—Yes ; that is where draw the Emits. The London and Birmingham income we will take as about 800,000/. d v year; there is about 50 p er cent. of that spent i n labour and in the materials, but a large , proportion in labour. Do you include in the term 'labour salaries to the clerks and the staff?—From the secretary down to the common porter ; the whole staff. There is out of that 400,000/. probably 300,0001. positively paid in labour. If we could get that at the same value as we could labour . Belgium, the company ought to be able to give the public ll_ advantage of that, and lower their fares 150,000/. a year. T s chiefly s that the rate at which a company can carry dPe n d? on the cost at which the railway is constructe. —Yes, and the traffic upon it. You say, and the traffic ch is carried upon it?—Yes. Is it not true, that in g en d, where there is a very large traffic, the railway is constructex. from the circumstances of the country, at a very heavg , pense?—There are cases of that kind. Generally?-- n The London and Greenwich • that was constructed at 3 , ‘ enormous expense ?—Yes. And the Dublin and Kingsto w n at an expensa of 100,0001. per mile?—Yes. In Be l gT there has been a total a b sence o f P arl i amentary exPenses ore I believe they are very s ma ll ; th ey d o not amou nt to rs than 2,000/. or 3,000/. for a Bill more then they were all dee f by Government. Railroads in thinly-populated e rst n ? tries are constructed at a much smaller expense than t- -- o f —Certainly. But they are obliged to charge higher rates fares because they have a smaller traffic ?—Clearly.
