Tia LAW OF ENTAIL.—A meeting or the proprie tors of entailed .estates in Scotland was held in the 'Hope- Coma Rooms on Thursday, fo the purpose of considering. the great national evil connected with the law of a.n&thd propriety of an immediate application of the Legis lature thereupon," The meeting being a preliminary one _the representatives of the press were not allowed 'access to it. We have, however' been furnished with the following outline of the proceedings:—Sir. David Baird, Bart., in the absence of the Marquis of Breadalbatie (from whom a com munication was made to the meeting), was called to the chair. and gave a liteid statement of the injuriouS effects of the law of entail in preventing free commerce in land, and particularly as preventing those improvements now rendered necessary to meet the expected competition of foreign corn, and the ad)ustment of rights between landlord a id tenant. As was to be expected, when a subject of such momentous interest was brought before them for the first time, there were different opini'ms stated by the proprietors pfesent.as to the proper mode of following up the move ment. We understand, however, that a unanimous reso lut ion was entered into, remitting to a committee; of which the Most noble the Marquis of Breadalbane was to be chairman, and Sir David Baird, Bart., the convener, to consider as to the best mode ''dt seekiwr a. le g i s lative remedy for the evil's of the entail law, a ' nd to.call other and more extCnded meetings as they. might deem proper. The meeting, which was pretty.tm merously attended, lasted for about two hours, and only one feeling was eXpresied as to the great national .evil inflicted, by the law in question, and subscriptions were , entered. nte for carrying forward the moVeZeilt, itlld, defraying tiN. ng? 44010101400.061.1/4 • THE" OREGON QUESTION. . When the .Cambria left Boston on the Ist inst. it was known that - the Senate of the United States had adjourned debate .)o the abrogation of the Oregon convention to the 2d of March ; but dime was co doubt that Mr. COlcitlitt's resoltv ions would be carried by a large majority in that assemb:y. These resolutions are substantially the same as those adopted try the House of Representatives, although in A more qualified form ; but they express with greater energy an " earnest desire that this' long• standing controversy may be settled by negotiation and compromise." In fact, they impose upon toe Cabinet of the United States the duty of re. opening the neg , tiations on such terms as may convince the American people that a sincere attempt has been made to effect a peaceful settlement of the dispute ; and we sin- • cerely hope these terms may be admisSible . by England.' Mr; Allen, however, in the course of the- debate, declared' that the President's views - and determination -to assert :his title to the whole territory up to 51 deg. -40 min. had undergone no change. On the part of the Bri tish Mhdstei, Mr. Pakenhatn, no fresh overture has been made. Whatever may be the motives which induce the ,Congress of the United States to vote the abrogation of the convention of 1827 for the joint occupancy of she Oregon ter- . ritary, we are Chiefly cOnceined to examine the effect of that measure on the relative rights of the two claimants. Assoon as the Senate shall have concurred in these resolutions, and the President proceed, as he undoubtedly will, to give the notice, the whole question wilt assume a new shape, or rather it will revert to the condition in which it stood before ever the conventions of 1818 and of 1837 were thought of, that condition being only modified by the actual settlements in the country made under the specific protection of those very instruments. It may, we think, be demonstrated by strict reasoning that the abrogation of these conventions under the present circum,tances of the two Powers in Oregon, mate rially weakens the claims of the -United States, and as ma terially strengthens our rights. Under the agreement which the Americans are resolved to cancel, two kinds of claims have existed ; • the first conventional, which were on the footing of strict equality; the seeond claiMs of. settlement, . which depend on . the• relative extent of occupation. by either party. - If the convention be annulled, the conveuVonal privileges of the Americans, which were equal to onr .own, cease and determine, as far. as we are concerned ; their right is reduced. to A mere abstract title ; whilst we stand upon the Brifist 'occupation, sanctioned by all the argunientsitt;suppart'of *Our Claini„ and especially by the treaty. of 1790 *it!' Spain.. The tiettlementsa the flud son's Bay Company in the Oregon territory have been msde under a right recognised - by these conventions ; but the right existedisefore the; conventions; and• the settlements, with all the rights accruing to their founders, will subsist atter them. Dr.TSvias, in his most interoSting and elaborate survey of the whole question, pinta out thz passage of Vattel by which such a case must be. determined..." 1.4" says that great authority, "two or more tlaiians discover and take possession of an island or any Other •desert land without an owner, they ought to agree between • themfielni ind" . make an • eqttitable partition flint, cannot agree, each will have the right of empire and amain in the parts in which they first settled." In this particularcase, the effect of occu pation and priority of settlement as conferring sovereignty is more than usually decisive: For the right of fish ing, landing for the purpose of trade- with the - natives, and of making settlements, _having - been f.rmally secured to Spain and to England by the treaty of 1790, the settlements made in purSuance of that right by either Power became absolute possessions of the Crown. Let us niiir ascertain; from an unquestionable witness, Air. Greenhow himself, the champion of the -American claiMs, what. the relative impart ance of these settlements is. Ile et,serves that the difficulty of the negotiation undertaken in 1826• had been materially increased since 1818— • • • • " . " By the great inequality which had.been produced in the relative positions of the two parties as regards actual occu pation. After the union -of the two great • North American companies in 1821, and the establishment of civil and cri minal jurisdiction . throughbitt their territories, the Hudson's Bay Company becaine a powerful body ; its resvrces were no longer wasted in disputes. with a rival association; its re gtilnions were enforced; its operations were conducted with security and - efficiency ; and encouragement was afforded for the extension of its posts and communications by the assurance that . the honour of the Government *as thereby more strongly engaged in its support... Many 'of these posts were • fortified, and could be defended by their. inmates—men inured to dangers and hardships of all kinds—against any attacks which might . be apprehended; and thus, in a few years, the Whisle region north and north-west of the United States„froth Atidson's.BaY anti Canada to the Pacific, parti cularly the . portion -traversed. by the . Columbia and its branches, was occupied, in -a military sense, by British forces, although there was not a single British soldier, .strictly speaking, Within its limits. • " The United Slates,- on the other hand, possessed no es tabllshineuts.and exercised, no authority or jurisdiction what ever beyond the Rocky Mountains.; and the number of their citizens in that whole territory did not, probably, exceed two hundred." Such isthe : American account of the state of the district in 1826, when 9tr. Gallatin proposed as his ultimatum the cession by England of the. territory.up to the 49th parallel. Nor is it now materially. altered. Two or three thousand American emigrants have formed a village on one of the southern tributaries of,the Columbia; but neither their means nor their objects extend' to any comniand - of territory beyond the valley of the Willamette. They have an undoubted right to form such settlements under the convention ; but they owe the means of completing their journey. across the vast and rugged wilderness to the liberality and hospitalitl - of the agents of . the Hudson's Bay Company. Captain k remont, Who conducted the United States exploring expedition be yond the Rocky Mountains in 1.841, attests the fact. On arriving at Fort Nez Perce, a British post situated at the confluence of the river Wallawalla and th&Calumahia. he ob served that at this point; which . ls just 2,000 - Miles - overland horn the. Western frontier'. of the state of Miaioari, the emi grants who.arrive by the South Pass and from the valley of the Mississippi may embark on the broad stream of the west. He himself and the heads of the emigrants there at the same time were hospitably entertained by Mr. Mackinley, the com mander of the post. At 'Fort Vancouver, Captain Fremont was received with the :graatest courtesy by Dr. MsLaughlin, the. executive officer of the lindscni's"Bay Company iu the territory west of the Rocky Mountains, and the expedition was furnished with all necessary supplies. ..He adds— " I found many American emigrants at the fort; others had aWacly crossed intO'their land of promise—the andWallah u uld all b e a o tr f o th rd e e m d .sehreel doily .t. 4 f r a r r i i n ft ' mhsedttbeeei L t i al r y n . ish O id th w er i a th by the buildings connected with the establishment. Neces sary clothing and provisions (the latter to be afterwards re turned in kind from the produce of their labour) were also furnished., :This friendly assistance was of very great value to the emigrants, whose lathilies Were:otherwise exposed to much suffering in the. winter rains; at the same time, they . were in want of all the common necessaries of life. Those: who had driven their stock down the Columbia had brought; them safely in, and: found for •them a•ready market, and were already proposing to return t!5 the . States in the spring for another rupply." . We quote these facts,.which are given on American official authority,•hecause it is impossible to place the relative im portance of the British and American-settlements in the teri ritory :hi Stronger contrast,. In fact, if the emigrants frail the United States hail not been liberally and humanely ass sisted and.protected by the British agents;' they would prod bably have perished -miserably on that bleak shore, beyond ' the reach of all human aid. .But • what is the return the in= siigaters• of the American people propose to make for these offices of humanity? What effect has this information, offi cially.presentetl to Congress, upon the deliberations .4 the Legislature? It only incites them to endeavour to expel their .benefactors from the .country, and to wrest from the Hudson's Bay Company thuse'very forts which have sheltered their own etnigrauts from the hardships of the wilderness. No appeals have been made to public opinion or & :Parliament by the iludson Bay . Company, pro probably because that body..feels sufficiently strong in its own re,,utrces -and in-the resolution of the Government. BUt a stronger case for publicinterest and support we have never known. *A'great trading company enters upon the enjoS mene of certain rights secured by' a treaty between the Crowns of - Saain and. England„ wefts the full sanction of royal . charters and. Acts of. Parliament; it occupies a vast. uninhabited region, whore settlement wis all that was needed twasserc atrd - -establish indefeasible rights of dominion; it exercises those rights with so little jealousy, that even the emigrants from the rival state are housed within its walls and supplied from its magazines. It has organised'the sole system of regular communication and traffic that the preselit state of the northern parts of America admits of. All Olds has been going on actively for die last quarter of a century, and less actively ever since 1790; when soddenly, by the mere will and pleasure of a democratic :community, whose nearest possessions -are distant 2,000 miles - of land travel, this Company and the power it represents are summoned to evacuate, surrender,' and renounce their forts, their pcits, their settlements, rho navigation of the rivers, the possession of the country, and to retire beyond the 54th parallel; of latitude. Such a csssion of territory would at once paralyze die whole operations of the Company and the north-western coast. Yet, such is the extraordinary perversion of public opinion in America on this subject, that we are expected: to abandon a title, supported by effectual occupation, in favimr of another title, which rests upon no superior legal and is backed by no occupati on rice of the abrogation of t h e treat y of 1827 is given, i we whatever ! As soon as ho truu that no mere formalities will deter the British Govern merit from • informing the Cabinet of Washington and the World what are the definitive claims of this country, iind what are the concessions England is prepared to make. Nothing is gained by the secrecy of diplornaCt in tr , ating with the United States, because public opinion in that country is 'the last arbiter of -the national,policy, and the Government has shown itself less disposed to peace than the more enlightened part-of the. community. Whatever be the proposals of the American Executive, we must trust to the fairness of loin own views, to our abilty to defend the ground on which we stand, and to the magnitude of the alternative. But, as we observed more than two months ago; in an article which has been much diseusSed in the United States, we cannot! ac quiesce in the stirrender . of positive lono-enjoyed benefits; and the navigation of the Columbia, the harbour of St. (luau de Fuca, and Vancotiver's Island, are included in those we undoubtedly and rightfully possess—Times. CLERICALTUNISHMENT IN THE MIDDLE AGES. , 4--A curious discovery was made more than a century ago, during some excavations -rultr the chapter-house, adjoining Thorn ton Abbey, Lincolnshire. It was first mentioned by Stlike ler, who visited the ruins in 1772. He says, "That noon taking down the old wall there, they.found a man with a candlestick, table, and book,-who was supposed to have been immured." Tradition has always asserted thatit was an ab bot who suffered this punishment. The skeleton of a man thus immured was fOund some years ago at Coldinghatn Abbey. Another instance was recently discovered at Temple4irucr, • Lincoln sh ire.— The Builder. VISCOUNTESS .

The - following letter wis adaessed by Major-General Collin to the Directing Senate of Cracow, in reply to . the proposals which were made to him on the morning of the 3d instant _ _ " robGoitzE, MARCH, 3.—Whereas the 'rebels have -ova meted Cracow, and Whereas the inhabitants of that town, in which no Government is in actual operation at the present moment, have claimed the protection. of • the three great Powers, fer the defence of their persons and property I hereby declare that I consent to grant them such protection, undertheexpress stipulation that it shall only be provisional, and that -it •shall continue only until such . time ns the three great Powers • have come to some . definitive decision. This protection shall be granted on the following con• ditions " Firstly: The town of Cracow shall deliver np 'to me all the rebel ringleaders now within its walls, and shall point out to me the places in which they are congealed._ " Secondly. All the inhabitants to layalown their arms ; and, by the sth of March, at twelve o'clock precisely, all the arms in the town, of every description whatsoever, must be given - up and deposited within the castle, where a com mission appointed by me Nvill receive them. Thirdly; Whosciever shall be found with arms in. his poss session during the period of my remaining at Cracow, shall be tried bs a council of war within twenty-four hours. The proprietor of any house in which arms may be found shall undergo the same trial. • " Fourthly. The present senate of Cracow is appointed under the presidence of Senator Kopf to carry on the internal affairs of the town, and to superintend the territory of Cra cow, until the three high protecting. Powers'shall have come to some definite decision." After haying dispatched the above letter, Generairollin ordered-the bridge over the Vistula to be immediately recon structed. Whilst the bridge was being repaired, towards four o'clock in the afternoon, several Russian staff officers,' accompaied by a corps of the Ischerke:es, came to the head quarters at Podgorze, and announced that a considerable Raesian force was marching upon the town. On receiving this intelligence General Collin immediately marched into Cracow, followed by fink companies of infantry, a division of light cavalry, and the Cracow militia. " Large crowds of the helpless flecked around him as he marched into the town, and hailed him with joyful. atclamation." The Austrians found that the castle and the principal guard houses of the town were already occupied liv a small detach medt of Russian troops. The armed bands "Of the insurgents, -when they evacuated Cracow, before the Russia.l and Aus trian troops had marched into the town, took refuge in the western territory of the republic. Being pursued by the Austrian and Russian cavalry, they surrendered at discre tion, and 800 men gave themselves up to the Prussian com mandant. The troops were assembled together on the fron tiers of Prussian Silesia. The Prussian officer ordered the insurgents at once to he disarmed, and they were forthwith incarcerated, in Prussian fortresses. Pitussesei Sreesstase-Peaeirs • MAIICH 4.—On -the 3d inst. a number of Polish ecclesiastics, secular and regular, passed through Blain, under 'a military escort. They were taken to Austrian Silesia. The Galliclan families who had fled to the frontier are returning to their homesteads: This morn ing ten, pieces of artillery passed through Bialu, where a large number of troops are at present concentrated. PRUSSIAN SILESIA—NICOLA MARCH s.—This 'morning, at eight o'clock, six. hundred and eighty insurgents arrived here, escorted-by a-body of cavalry and infantry. When the dragoons and 'Mears were about -to attack them yesterday, they laid down their arms. Amongst these insurgents are' to be found the flower of the Polish youth. I hear that they all declare that they would far prefer to live under the Prussian Government than submit to the Russian yoke. The cavalry, artillery, and 10th regiment of infantry continued their march towards Cracow, where they will arrive to morrow or the day after. Some few of the prisoners appear in good spirits, but the great majority of them are heart broken, and mourn over their country like a child who has lost its parents. Whilst they were marching to Nicolai the chief of the insurgents met his mother and sisters, who had cone forth to take a lingering look at him as he passed on to hii prison. Many an eye among the rude soldiery glistened' with . those drops which sacred pity engenders, at witnessing the heartfelt sorrow caused by this meeting. It is said that there are three ecclesiastics amongst the prisoners. • What will be the fate of the Polish insurgents is not yet known ; certain it is, however, that the submission was only accepted on condition that the submission- was to Prussia, Russia, and Austria, collectively.—Cologne Gazette, March 12. PRUSSIAN 81LESIA—BRESLAU, MARCIL 6.—One of the divisious of the insurgents, when they .evacueted Cracow, proceeded towards Gallicia, and Marched, it is said, to Wiliezka. Perhaps they thought that they would be able to hold out longer in that stronghold and hotbed of the Gal lkian revolt. It was generally imagined that the whole body of the insurgents, on leaving Cracow, would have fled to the high mountains of Gallicia, where they vsould have been joined by the Goral mountaineers, by whose assistance they would have been able to carry on st guerilla warfare fiir a 'Ong time. Had they taken this step, they could also have opened a communication with Hungary. Another division of the insurgents professed to surrender to the Prussians. It is obvious that at Cracow public opinion is so strongly in favour of the Prussian form of government, that a very Strong desire exists that Cracow should be incorporated with Prussia. This circumstance may, perhaps, introduce some complications into the forthcoming diplomatic negotiations -Cologne Gazette, March 12. . PLZ3CIIEN, MARCH 3.—Some travellers, inform us that Russia is concentrating a large body of troops iu several places in Poland. At Vroklavek there are eight thousand -men, and the lines all along the Polish frontier are kept by Cossacks and Gensdarroes. Precautionary measures are also being taken. in the interior of the country. It is said that time 'Tree-Miry was attacked at Mezi-Bronno, but that the attack was u n successful.-- s eette, March 9. P R U S SIAN SlLEsta—G e LkivrrE, --- 3.1A twit 7S—Tne.Polish in surrection virtually terminated, when the remainder of the insurgents, amounting to seven hundred men, placed them selves under the protection of Prussia, and laid down their arms. The insurgents passed by here yesterday on their way to Kosel, escorted by two companies of the 25th regi ment. The nobility and gentry among the' insurgents seemed to bear their misfortunes with equanimity, but the lower orders appeared as if overwhelmed with sorrow. The insurgents are now dispersed, and the territory of Cracow is occupied by the Prussian, Russian, and Austrian troops. — Berlin Untvereal Gazette, March 11. The Post Ampt Gazette, of Frankfort, has the following from Coblentz, dated the 10th :—" The reserve of the army and the landwher of' the Rhenish provinces, have been called out, in 'consequence of the events in Poland. On Sunday the commandant formally announced this on parade, and a superior officer stated that the third corps of the regular troops would be put on the war establishMent, and called into active service. It was reported yesterday that M. de Thiel and General de Canitz had been called to Berlin by telegraph."• The same journal states that on the 3d, 2,500 insurgents, who occupied Cracow, left the city in two divi sions; one of. which moved towards Gallicia, and the other into Russian Poland. A Berlin letter of the Bth, in a Frankfort journal, states that the three protecting Powers will keep up thelforce which had been sent into the Ptilish provinces, until the revolt is entirely put down. Prussia, Austria, and Russia will, it adds, act with the greatest leniency towards the individuals who have been led to take part in the movement, but will adopt the severest measures against the leaders of the revolt. The Universal. Ge man Gazette states that a noble lady, who enjoyed the special favour of the Queen, had arrived at Berlin on the 7th, - at the head of a deputation of ladies of the Grand Duchy of Posen, to implore the clemency of his Majesty. NEW BARRACKS AT WOOLWICH. The Board of Ordnance having given notice to the Ad miralty that the west square of the Royal Artillery Barracks, at present occupied by the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, will be shortly required fur the accommodation of the 10th battalion, about to be raised,_ and the numerous re cruits for the Royal Artillery almost daily joining at head quarters, the works aL the new Royal Moline Barracks have been ordered to be expedited for the reception of the corps. The whole of the brick-work of the extensive new Royal Marine Barracks, ,capable of accommodating upwards of 1,000 men, with residences fir their officers , has been erected, and it is expected will be fully completed within three months from the Ist inst." 'lhe basement story will be w occupied as kitchens for cooking, and conta in lar g e iron ran g es, ith every convenience for that purpose. T he floors are formed of large flag-stones adjoining the fire-places, and the other parts of asphalte ou a concrete foundation. To prevent the possibility of the building being destroyed by fire, the whole of the joists are of metal, and the only parts made of wood are stories. The floors of the first an d second stories are timed the window-sashes and steps lea din g to the first and second of asplialte on concrete foundations, placed upon brick arches, and there are no tire-places in the apartments above the base ment story, the whole of them being heated by an apparatus for circulating hot air, which is effected by the aid of an Archimedean-screw eight feet in diameter, connected with a furnace in winter, and by an adaptation of the works, capable of circulating cold air from the exterior to the whole of the interior of the barracks in summer. The motive power for working the screw is attained by weights, on' the same prin ciple as an eight-day clock, and when wound up will cause the screw to revolve with great velocity for eight hours before it will cease working on the weights reaching the bottom of the building. In front of the first and second floors a large open apace, the entire extent of the building, has been con- . • structed and arched over for the men to take exercise in wet weather, and every care has been taken for their comfort. On the north site of the barracks for the men substantial and commodious dwelling-hotises have been built for the Colonel in command, and the Colonel second in command, and for' officers' quarters. In, a line with the barracks for the men the staff non-commissioned officers' quarters have been con strtict-ed, and a spacious room for a library .and a piece of -lroblus, with d we lli ng -h ouses f or ground in front of the barr a cks for grouyd set apart fu r a rac q uet- court..

In the rear of the barracks a building is constructed for the purpose of tieing used as a magazine or store room, and a framework to represent the bows and part of the sides of a ship-of-war wi:h : two port-holes in the bows, and two on each side, for exercising the men with large gnus :o instruct them in the duties they will have to perform at sea.

APPALLING APFAIIt.—On Friday last, as some per sons were engaged in clearing a barn near East Paul, in the parish of Chivelstone, [they found the body of a woman which had been shockingly mutilated by rats. The face and breast were disfigured in a most shocking manner. It appears that the deceased person was the granddaughter of one Philip Elliott, formerly of Chivelstone, who died at Brixham some months ago. The poor creature was in consequence deprived of her only earthly friend, and was returning to her own place, when from fatigue she was unable to proceed further than the barn, near which she was met by a person nained ' Crimp. The deceased was at the time carrying her shoes, being un able to walk with them any longer. A post mortem examination of the body took place, when it was found that deceased died front ox haustion awl inanition, there beteg nothing of aliment found in the stomach. Report states that she had made application for relief to a certain parish, but was refused. Inquiry will be made, and if this is foundto be the case, the parties shall not escape the punishment due to their conduct.— ire.stern,7lll3o. • Out JOHN COPH g SERIEs OF " Bwacs."—The Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Eosslyn, Major-General WelnYsS,'and a very numerous field (upwards of two hundred) were at the meet on gaturday, which took plaee at War field Park, the seat of Sir John Walsh, the Member for the county of Radnor.

GEOI7P, No. 9. This Group met for the first time to-day at twelve o'clock. Ment he:* present, Lord Worsley, chairnian, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Milne, (Makell, Mr.-Archbold, and Mr. Thomas Austen. Immediately on the ' assembling of the Coinmittee the room was cleared in orderto arrange the order of the business. On our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee • had decided to enter into the merits of opposed Bills only, and to refer all unopposed Bills to the Chairman of Ways and Means. They would wish to ascertain what Bills were opposed and .what Were not, and were also desirous that the Learned Gentlemen Would arrange among themselves the order in which the Bills should be taken. The fbllowing are the Bills in the Group, distinguishing - those who are opposed from the unopposed Caledonian (Glasgow Termini and Branches—opposed). Edinburgh and Glasgow Amendment and Branches (opposed). Glasgow Terminus and Glasgow Harbour (opposed). Glasgow Harbour Mineral (opposed).. Glasgow, Garnkirk, and COa; - bridge. (unopposed). Glasgow, Pais 'and. Greenock (PoHoc and Govan brancheo)—op- After some conversation, it was agreed that the Committee should take the Edinburgh and Glasgow Amendment and Brandies first in order, as being the least opposed, there being- only one petition against it, signed by by Mr. Denny, a gentleman, residing at Port Dundas, near Glasgow, and 15 others. Messrs. Austin, Talbot, and M`lleile appeared for the Bill, and Messrs. Hope and Forsyth for•the pe titioners. . Mr. M'Xeile briefly opened the case for the Bill, stating that there were three objects to be sought, first, a branch to connect the main line with the Queensferry on the Frith of Forth, six miles and a half in length. Sezond, a deviation to avoid two sharp curves in a branch for which a Bill was obtained last session to connect the main line with the south side of the Clyde ; and third, a branch line from Port Dundas at the Forth and Clyde Canal Basin, down to the river Clyde. The latter was the only opposed portion. It was opposed by Mr. Denny, a distiller, and fifteen or sixteen others ; who had signed the petition on the allegation that the branch would run along the toWing path of the canal, bet Ween the distillery and their several works and the basin of the canal, thereby inter fering with the.communication between the works of the petitioners and the iavigition. Mr. Miller, civil engineer, was first examined, and having briefly given evidence on the unopposed portions of the Bill, deposed as to the opposed. branch: It was in his opinion the best that could. sente..pc_tratnq_ J.ba canal. Anti railwikv. rat of the works at fort Dunda.s. by horse power, he did rot think there would be much, if any, in convenience to these works in cleslug the line of rails. It has to be a single line of rail, and the horses, he believed, would uot move beyond a walking pace. In cross-examinatlon, the witness gave it as his decided opinion, that the north side of the canal, on which the branch was proposed to be constructed, was the one best adapted for all the purposes sought ; and that very little, if any, Inconyenience.wonld accrue to the petitioners from its construction. The branch would be of the greatest service in bringing goods from the canal down to the Broomiclaw harbour, and in taking minerals from of the railway on to the-canal. ; - Mr. William Anderson-was briefly examined as to the traffic. This he set down at 25,000 tons; all of which he calculated would come from the canal, the harbour, and the railways on the south. side of the harbour. . _ . . . . This closed the case for the promoters. Mr. llopE, on the part of the petitioners, said he would postpone his observations till the close, and would now proceed to call the witnesses on behalf of his case. Mr. B. Kyle, land `surveyor, was briefly examined as to the in- Convenience of, the branch to the distilleries, glass works, and other public works on the banks of the canal. The traffic along it would be very great, and it would be difficult for carts and other traffic to go over it. Mr. warren, glass worker, gave evidence to the same effect. These witnesses were shortly cross-examined, but nothing very material was elicited beyond the admission that if the traffic on the branch was properly regulated, the incerivenience would be very much reduced. • _ The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock. The Committee nominated by the Committee of Selection to con sider and ascertain the merits of the Bins comprised in Group 14 assembled for the first time this morning in room No. 16, a small apartment about the size of an attic or a back parlour. The Com mittee 'consisted of Mr. E. Protheroe (chairman), Lord Emlyn, Mr. Grogan, General Lygon, and Mr. John O'Connell. The Bills com prised in the group were-- Kent Atmospheric Railway. North Kent Railway. South-Eastern (Canterbury to Dover). South-Eastern (Chislet to Margate). South-Rastern (Greenwich to Chart, near Ashford, with branches to Tonbridge and Riverhead). South-Eastern (Greenwich to Chilham, near Canterbury, with branches to Sheerness and Faversham-creek). South-Eastern (Maidstone to Strood, near Rochester). Dover and Deal. The CIIAIRMAN intimated before the business of the day was entered upon, that Mr. Gossett inten led to apply for the use of one of the Vice-Chancellor's Courts for this Committee, and the parties would therefore only have to put up with the inconvenience of the present room for a single clay,. . NORTH RENT RAILVIIIT. The first line called on was the North Kent. The counsel who appeared for the promoters were Mr. Talbot, Mr. Sergeant Wrongham, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, Sir Walter Riddle, and Mr. Colestone. The counsel who appeared for the South-Eastern Company, who are promoters of a competing line, were Mr. Austin, Mr. Cock burn, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Laing. The Gravesend and Rochester Railway and Canal, the Mayor, Corporation, and Citizens of the city of London, the Commissioners of the Medway Navigation, the Commissioners for improving the town of Maidstone, the Trustees for improving the Surrey roads, the Governors of St. Thomas's Hospital, the Trustees of the Feversham roads,. the Surrey Canal Company. the Trustees of the New-Cross roads,' the Justices, &c., of East Kent, the Commissioner of the Southwark Court of Requests, and several other large and important bodies put in appearances against the Bill.

Appearances against the Bill were entered for several landowners and occupiers on the line, as well as for the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners of lingland. - • • DOVER AND DEAL. This lino was not called on, because the parties had not given seven clear days' notice of the intention to go into Committee. The CHAllmsx then stated that, owing to the crowded And !neon yenient state of the room, the Committee were not disposed to pro. ceed further in their labours to-day. Mr. si.'ergeint MuMlrr presumed, then, that the first proceeding of the Committee to-morrow would be to hear his Learned Friend, Mr. Sergeant Wratigham's opening, on behalf of the North Kent line. The CHAIRMAN asked •if the parties had made arrangements am ongst themselves upon this point, in Accordance with the sug gestion of the Chairman of Committees. This question was replied to in the negative ; but it WAS ultimately agreed that the North Kent should be taken first to-morrow, together with the enmpetiug schemes of the Forth-Bastern Company, from Greenwich to Chtlharn, from Chilliam to Canterbury, and from Can terbury to Dover. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow. Mr. O'Connell, Chairman. Mr. Mackinnon, Captain Hatton, Mr. Ilincliey, and . Sir lt. Price, came shortly atter twelve o'clock. Appearances were first taken on all the liill9 to come before the Committee. • . . The Unopposed Bills, the South-Eastern, Ashford Station, and the South-Eastern, Rye to Rye Harbour, were then referred to the care of Mr. Greene, the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Mea ns.

Brigh ton, LedwCesh,lachndesitfearsggeSs Mr. Aunts then proceeded to open the merits of the line froth London to Tonbridge 'and Hastings, being in all 65 miles. It is In tended to proceed by Rochester, Maidstone, Tunbridge, Canterbury, Sheerness, and Queenborough. Mr. Austin thought this committee. tion with the towlts of Mid Kent would at' once commend the line to the Committee. Any opposition to be expected was from certain bondholders on turnpikes and froth Si ' Sir Godfrey Webster, but he thought it unnecessary to take up the time by speaking to it. Mr. Kroaks, corn-dealer in Tyeehurat, was examined in reference to the traffic in that neighbourhood. Hia son was in the habit of Bening as many as 70 quarters of corn a week in Tyeentirst, and he was sure that the means ofsending their ' t t,O London would pro .ue be a very great advantage. The Rev. Mr. Wetherall, vicar of Lamberhurst, cerrcrliorated the last witness. Mr. Jelin Smith; Hitchenham, gave evidence showing that it would be a very great advantage to those engaged in fattening_ cattle to have the proposed lint constructed through that country, connecting it with the London market. . , Mr. Barlow, the enginger„ Was examined. as to the length of the branches. lie said, the geological nature of the"couhtryr along. the line was Hastings' Sendetone,which.was well adapted to cuttings and' embankments, the next best to chalk.„ There would be 1 1 ,i miles of tunnelling on the whole line, occurring where it approached Tun bridge, the Wadhurst ridge, and Mountlield. The ruling gradient would he one in 132. Mr. Barlow estimated the total cost of the line at 640,030/. 31r. Him . , on the part of Lord Liverpool, prOceeded to. cross examine the witness as to the details of the cost, and the diStances of :' places en the line. .. . Air. Barlow said the present projected . line between Hastings , and Tunbridge did neit differ half a mile at any part from a line thrown out by the Board of Trade last year. The present line was intended' to cross Lord Liverpool's Lidham estates, in the form of the two legs of a triangle, mecting . the Hastings and Ashford. Line, which cuts off the triangular space entirely. Mr. IIILI finished his examination for Lord Liverpool, and the Committee'postponed heariiig any further till to morrow. Yr. now for the landholders, and Mr. Hill for Sir Godfrey Webster, proceed with the'exantination of witnesses to-morrow. Sab-Conunittee No. 4. • The Committee met at twelve o'clock; present, Sir W.

Seyeral petitions were presented against the Bill. The first petition proceeded with was that of the Earl of Cardigan, Lord Dartmouth, and otters. Mr. PRATT appeared in Stlpport of the petition. 31.1'.StOSI (vr tip) paiistters) objc4toci to tttll potaczt, an tla - ~~~i - - ground that there was no proof that either of th -"oble Lords rooee --- , -- S.:: names appeared in the signatures, had agreed to it. - _ The Committee decided on receiving the petition, exalt 'of yarded the property of the two - Noble Lords. - Mr. Dixon, Clerk of the Peaee t)f the West Jtidlug, and ot*e nesses, stated that on the let of December last they exesetrtAtrflie plans deposited, and found that coins material referenebtohatt heel' omitted. They examined them again on the 4th of Decempa . tVaud • . found that the omission had been supplied. Mr. GREGORY called Mr. Murphy, the eugineer, to erklaiti>how the omission had occurred. From this gentleman's statement; and that of a Mr. Greene, it appeared that the bookbinder, throneftasga take, sent in the wrong copy - at first, but took means for subsatutlngt; the correct book between the Ist and 4th of December. After hearing the statements on both sides, the Committee decided that the allegation was proved. ' The lima allegation was, that in the plan and book of reference deposited with the clerk of the peace the lands proposed to be taken In the parish of Fernley, being 84 in number, were not. mentioned at all, and that, therefore, the standing orders had not been com plied with. Mr. eitirr, for the petitioners, called Mr. Dickson, Who proved that he had examined the book of re ference, and discovered that the numbers from 1 to 6.5, in the town ship of Fernley, had been omitted. It appeared that two peges had been torn out of the book after it had been lodged, and that the lands alluded to were correctly - marked on the leaves which had been se-tern. Sub-Committee No. 3. The Committee met at twelve o'clock ; present Mr. Home Drum• mond, Chairman, Mr. Forbes .M`Kenzie, and Mr, Egerton. MIDLAND (S WINTON TO LINCOLN). The promoters of this line had a Rill before Parliament last year, with the same objects as the present Bill. On the capital estimated in the Bill of last year, a deposit of 51. per cent. had been paid. On the part of a petition against the nin, it was' now contended that the new ..tatuling order, requiring a deposit of 101. per cent., applied to this Bill. For the promoters, it was contended that as the present 13111 before the Committee was really the same its that intro duced last year, which was introduced before the passing of the standin; order requiring the increased deposit, that order could not in fairness be extended to it. The Committee ultimately decided that the standing order applied to lb s Bill, and was not complied with. MIDLAND (NEWARK TO GAINEBOHOUGH.) The usual formal evldenee having been gone through, the Com mittee proceeded to the consideration of several petitions against the Bill.

The Committee decided, after hearing the usual evidence, that the Company had complied with the standing orders. EPSOM AND DORKING. The Committee decided that the promoters of this line had also complied with the standing orders. EASTERN COUNTIES (HERTFORD AND lIUNTINGDON). The hearing of this case, which had been adjourned on Friday last, was again resumed by their Lordships. The main objection urged against the Company was a deviation of ten feet in the datum line, an) error which had been occasioned by the hostility of a landed proprietor, who would not permit a survey to be made on his estates. The Committee decided, in consequence of that fact, and the candour of the Company in not endeavouring to conceal the truth, that they would recommend the line to be proceeded with. STAMFORD AND SPALDING. In this case the witnesses were not prepared, and the consideration of the case was adjourned. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND (WIDENING AND ENLARG MENT). In consequence of Lord Wharneliffe's standing order not having been complied with, the hearing of the case was adjourned for one month, to give the parties time to prepare.
