The Select Committee appointed to consider the principle of Arne.. gamation as applied to the Railway and Canal Bills now under the consideration of Parliament, Inive further examined the matters to them referred, and agreed to the following re. port : Your Committee have stated, in their former report, that .there are about thirty-two Bills betort Parliament in which pcwef is sought to effect the amalgamation of catrds with railways. Th'ese may to classed under the following heads Ist Bills for the amalgamation, by lease, purchase, or . o therwise, of entire lines of canal with competing lines of railway. 2tlly. Bills for the amalgamation of some canal forming g link In A chain of water communication with a line of railway compel:tang Wi' the whole chain. 3dly. Bills for converting canals into railways. The present extent of inland navigation in Great Britain, isy means of canals, is estimated to be about 2,501 miles. Up to a very recent period it afforded almost the exclusive means of conveyance of i)cavy goods and merchandise from one part of the country to the of her, and esixeially from the principal manufacturing districts to L'4o outports. veolo!plintioleiitin, tur.adheancwtioanntof.fraiel.wpeayrsie. ia,ncedahnidththeeeaarbls3,e-ipiceerloodf ionfrotniheiwridjoe,,- as to the capabilities of the new system, rendered It impossible for the Le , ,rislature to impose proper restrictions and limitations on the tolls and charges of the various companies, the competition which' they had to sustain with the canal.; checked any great abuse 01 the powers delegated to them. As •he railway system extended Ilse]; Improvements in its organization and economy placed in turn check upon canals, and the consequent competition n..aterially re duced the expense of conveyance. instances have been &lanced be fore your Couni.ittee in which the charges for the conveyance of mer chandise have been lowered by these means to one -seventh o," their former amount; and there are now few parts of the country w Vela have not derived material advantage from the competition betwtiel railways and canals. It is obviously of importance that Parliament should not lightly sanction any arrangements which mould tend to deprive the public of this advantage; and it has been a subject of consideration with • your Committee, whether, inasmuch as the future maintenance of com petition depends in some degree on the complete independence of the canal system, and any interference with a link may greaily and preju dicially affect the whole chain, it might not be the duty of Parlia ment to refuse its assent to all Bills uniting the interests of the now rival parties. Did your Committee believe that the two systems could be pre• served in entire independence one of the other, they might be dis posed to recommend the House to adopt this course. But in the progress of their inquiry, several reasons have suggested themselves. showing the difficulty of securing toe canal interest altogether from the interference and control of railway companies, the former full opportunity of testing its capabilities as a rival system. or of affording to dis jointed state of tire canal int,rests and the varying which they carry On their operations. Some of the exiAing cora- This practice, while it o blig e s n inbpr br ough t ig li i eh e st olut,h,ll,evrzrceottlihneeeprednnietsiiez of r t patties, possessing lines of canal which form central Mike e la na rg b e lo r t e l t ie urn sev fo e r ra t i h c e i r iiip ca un p i i e ta, as er: b n od u 3 p ., on to a in st a n i a ji l t l ajau m a o l u air nt co of m tr p a e ffi ti c i n 0 g g r r e ea at t imp, eh meat tak ohasadb:ennt advantage do of their t e h x e i i s r t in pe e th l e sart p e r m es sp e e n su t i:igoehr and estabdsh a rate of charges so high as to secure 'o themselves a y s o o u r Cadvan tageously situated, to reduce their rates to such an extent that they _ere unable to conduct their butiness with a ~ r eds, at the same limo prevents such a reductioe in the general charges o '' t the line as would private arrange tni,jolititt,esnetal itiliietst,iielaruavielreaal'ialvy.sair. pietas with the proprietors of a rortimi only of a line of canal, and thereatter, by raising the tells of that portion to the utmost limit :Wowed by law, haye rendered it impossible ter the companies in n truffle in competition with the railway. possession of the remainder of the line o f canal to maintain their Another consideration which must not be overlooked is, that although it has been stated that with proper management canals might maintain a successful compettion with railways in the car riage of heavy goods, still such competiti on h a s hi t h erto b een carried on under a great disadv a nt a ge, o A i n; t o t h e large profits made by railway companies on passen-er traffic, which enables them to submit in same in s ta nces even to a loss on the carriage of merehandise, 'with it view to withdraw the t ra ffi c f rom canals. Even, how ever, w h ere effective competition has been for a time maintained, it has been attended with such a large reduction of profits, that it ha s b ecome the interest of the rival companies to combine fur their mutual advantage, and hence have arisen private arrangements u n d er wh i ch a higher scale of tolls and charges has been re-ea; abl ;s h e .. It has indeed been shown that in certain cases increased advantages alight be obtained tor the public by the union of a canal and rail way through the same line olcountry, under one management, sub ject of course to proper check and contml. The general conclusion, therefore, to which your Committee have come is, that it would not be politic altogether to refuse the sanction of Parhameet to the amalgamation of ratLways with canals. They would, however, strongly impress up n the attention of the Com mittees to whom Bills, whether for the amalgamation of canals with railways, or tor the conversion of canals into railways, may be re le red, that a most searching inquiry should be instituted into the merits of each case; and that their sanction should oe given only in • those instances in which it shall have been clearly proved that the amalgamation, can be effected without prejudice tq the public. They venture to submit the following points as deserving of consi deration in the case of all such Bills : lit. The imposition of a low scale of tolls and charges upon all par ties to the scheme. It should be borne In mind, that in the case of canals the scale of tells is of much greater importance than' in that of railways; for as, in most instances, the public are themselves the carriers on canals, they are more interested in the tolls than in the general charges. Subject to this observation, your Committee refer to the suggestions with respect to tolls and charges contained in their former report, and which they consider equally applicable to the a .al. amation of railways and canals. 2dly. Strict regulations should be made for maintaining the canals in an efficient state of repair, and for securing a proper supply of water. 3Jly. Power should be expressly secured to the public of carrying passengers and all kinds of goods and merchandise on canal. 4thly. The privilege of making bye-laws should be subjected to a careful revision. Many of the canal companies exercise much power in this respect. They are authorised, tor instance, under these laws to suspend the navigation of the canals for various purposes, and during uncertain periods; and though this power may be innocuous so long as it is exercised by a party directly interested with the public in the limited exercise of it, it is obviously one which may be used with great and detrimental effect to fair competition, by parties so disposed. sthly. In cases of the conversion of a canal into a railway, care should be taken that no district is deprived of efficient means of gene ral communication, and the company should be compelled to afford due facilites of access to canal companies and other parties who may be affected by the change. Your Committee further feel it their duty to advert to the circum stance, that powers of amalgamation contained in that large class of Bills which are not exclusively for amalgamation, have in some cases escaped general observation, owing to no separate notice having been given of the intended application for such . owers. They recommen, that for the future, in all cases of amalga p mation, a separate notice should be rentured, which should contain a table of the rates pro posed to be inserted in the new Bill. Your Committee offer these suggestions to the House as affording some, though by no meats a perfect security, to the public interests. The system of railways and canals is now become so extensive, and their relations amongst themselves are so complicated, that no enactments passed by Parliament for their government and regula tion can provide for all coot agencies, or be prope ly carried Into effect, unless by :he aid of some more efficient machinery than any which exists at the present moment. . . After mature consideration, your Committee have come to the conclusion that it is absolutely necessary that some department of the Executive Government, so constituted as to command general respect and confidence, should be charged with the supervision of railways and canals, with full power to enforce such regulations as may from time to time appear Indispensable for the accommodation and general interests of the public. Your Committee, in their former report, adverted to the case of private arrangements between railway companies as requiring serious consideration. The evidence they have since received has shown that arrangements of this nature between railway and canal companies may atlect the public interests to a still greater degree; and thee are convinced that the only effectual mode of obviating the cells winch might arise from an abuse of the powe- derived front such private arrangements, will be found in the constitution of such an autnority as they have now recommended. Your Committee entertain no doubt that a department so consti tuted might, in addition to these duties, afford material assistance to Patliament in railway legislation. ..- • • - It might save, by preliminary investigation as regards facts, much expense to parties applying for Bills, and much of the valuable time of both Houses, withoat in any w.iy interfaring• with the paramount powers of I!..rliament, and its sole adjudication as to the rights of property.

Cerito has returned to us, and returned looking and dancing and acting more delightfully than ever. She made her debut last evening in Alma, and the falling of the statue in the first scene, where she is discovered standing on its pedestal a living, breathing, joyous cr-a ture, instead of dull cold marble, was the signal for such a series of rounds of enthusiastic applause as have seldom been heard within the walls of her Ma jesty's Theatre; and, when descending from the pedestal, she rushed with arrowy steps to the front of the stage, the applause was again and again renewed; and grace fully did she again and again acknowledge the plaudits of the delighted audience, and some what more than gracefully too—there was heart in her acknowledgment. It was more the mutual owo w nna e ees l ecscrouoimicu. redoubled. ,dd oosucoubcfcla,ersedi succeed dn l d sls friends nawvaetshhe etr t nhs h eee a xl than t i.t pus se e h t n e ed we theafascinations conventionaltahpep applause ap uasse applause and th e conventional acknowledgment usual to s own p as , w hi ch no one has attempted, and no which first secured her the position she at present holds—th e p as that perfected the triumph of her system of choreographic art—the pas which won for her - the title of " Realist," and in which she introduces all the wonders of her art--the i arrowy rush—the dazzlingly twinkling steps—the mar vellous tourbillons—the espiegle coquetting—th e de lightfully expressive pantomime—all, all were there, and there in the greatest perfection. It was in deed a pas de fascination, and never did Cerito look, or dance, or act, more fascinatingly than she did last evening. The pus was a perfect triumph, and at its conclusion bouquets innumer able were showered upon the stage. She was most effi ciently supported by Perrot, whose diablerie in this pas was worthy of Mephistopheles himself. In the next scene we had a pas de trois by Cerito, her husband. St. Leon, and Mademoiselle Demelisse. St Leon is looking very well, and danced exquisitely, revelling as usual in thoie marvellous tours de force. which no one can execute but himself. The op- ra aas La Gazza Ladra, with Grisi, and Mario, a:id Foma sari, and Lablache, and the ye.ung Brats , ills, An apology was made forMario,who was sutf. r ng from hoars , ness, and who, therefore, omitted a portion of the music, Grisi, Fornasari, and Lablache, were in excellent voice; and young Brambilla, as Pipo, albeit somewhat nervous, acquitted herself admirably. The celebrated prison duet in the second act was exquisitely given by Grisi and Brambilla. The overture., one of the ino - -4 beautiful of Rossini's compositions, was performed to per fection by the orchestra, under the admirable con ducting of Balfe. We have never heard anything more perfectly given than was the overture to La Gazzc Ladra last evening. Then we ,had a pis do trois, which Louise raglioni (and right worthy is she of the name she bears) was the heroine, and the last act of Linda, for Madame Castellan, who, as usua achieved a triumph. All these came before Alma, yet not a person left the house until after the pas de fascination. They had gone to see Cerito, and to welcome her back to her throne, and, like loyal subjects, they all remained (and when we say all we mean some thousands, for the house was crowded in every part) to pay her homage.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT i IRHINGFIAM.—SAGACITY oF A DOG.--HiesuNesAm, THURSDAY. —This morning, at one o'clock, a fire took place on the premises of Mr. .1,..hn Sutton Nettleford, an extensive screw manufacturer, of Baskerville, Birmingham, and 54, High Holborn, London. At eleven o'clock the person whose duty it was to examine the premises every night went round the manufac tory, and finding all safe, went to bed in bne of the workshops ; but auout two hours afterwards, he was aroused by his dog, who jumped on his bed and commenced scratching his face until he awoke, when, to his great astonishment, lie found a portion of the building in flames. He then raised an alarm, and information was immediately sent to the district and other offices, from whence the engines were dispatched. On their arrival, some difficulty was experienced in obtaining water, 'but in a short time a copious supply was obtained from a canal, which is near the works, and the engines then played with effect. About four o'clock the fire was subdued, but not until a very large screw and turning shop were destroyed, and a large por tion of valuable tools rendered useless. Had it not been for the great exertions of the Bremen, the flames would have extended to a far more valuable part of the establishment, where the flid.hed work was kept. The exact amount of the loss is not known but it is roughly estimated at 1,0001. The cause of the fire is not known, but it may have been occasioned by a spark from a smith's forge in the screw shop. The occurrence has thrown 200 persons out of employ ment, and it will be some time before they will be able to resume work again. _ This morning, shortly before one o'clock, an alarming fire broke out upon the premises belonging to Mrs. Sarah Brown, grocer and tea-dealer, carrying on business at No. 6, Great New street, Fetter-lane, immediately opposite Trinity Church. It was not until past two o'clock that the fire was safely subdued, and not until the shop was burned out, and the stock-in-trade destroyed. SERIOUS FIRE. IN THE /lAartow-ROAD.
