He was bons at Manchester in 1787, and was sent by his father to Italy, in 1801, fir commercial objects, and was detained at Naples on the breaking out of the war. Having attracted the attention of Murat, then King of Naples, from a certain likeness he bore to Buonaparte, as well as by his success In experimental science and athletic exercises, he entered the Neapolitan service, and in a short time was pointed one of the Aides-de of Murat, with the rank aP oi Colonel : he was also decorated with the crosses s ,4 of i.n the Two si c ifies, and of the Legion of Honour. Facts," published m London, concerning that ill-starred monarch, were so eagerly sought in ltdly, where tra l t . l e wa s prohibited, that manuscript copies of it acid the book hi g h price. In 1820 and 1821 Colonel M. • at a very actrone sent several hundred men to the Spanish settlement,' in South America , and received the fr uitless rani: of Brigadier-General from the Republic o f C o l ombia. Ile afterwards served the Liberal party in Spai n , until the retreat of the Cortes to Cadiz. D uring the agita tion of the Reform Bill he printed his "Defensive Instruc tions for the People," of which many thousand copies were sold .; he subsequently published tyro volumes of autobio graphy, intending to follow them by two others, had not the death of his bookseller prevented his design. They attracted great attention and elicit.d much applause in the periodicals of the time. Of late years he dedicated himself to mecha nical pursuits, principally to the establiAnnent of steam loco motives on common roads, but failing in this undertaking he became much embarrassed in his circumvances ' and never ec ro vered any part of the money he embarked. He was the • contri bit tor of many us , ,ftil suggestions" in the - Mechanics' .11fagazine, and other scis ntilic periodicals; and amongst be mentioned the Archimedea.screw, ;hose su4gestions ma y Tor the impulsion of steam-ship„ many years before it iva4 ' opted b; qqvgrnment. l'l m so4poy ? 4 R t calmly- ?i mut 4 !iiirnlu"T'''V. - .41:i? aff44 Hi littoF tigtThitioni 1004 m 4841cilifiglitiketi, 61` woe pact inifthibite, THE SUN, LONDON, TUtSDAY IViORNING, JULY 28, 1846. the closest manner anything connected with the service to which he has devoted him self, and of which he is so great an ornament, professed himself astonished at the mass of informa tion brought forward, and stated that he had never heard a clearer elucidation of the state of the navy. The total amount of the votes taken was 7,667,4141., from which, deducting the reserved credit for 190,4611., the gross sum required for that branch of the public service would be 7,476,9531., a large expenditure indeed, and one deserving of the closest scrutiny of the House ; but large as it is, we are convinced that there is no Englishman who would desire that the efficiency of the navy should be im paired in any the slightest degree by any undue economy, or petty saving; we have too long suffered under the effects ofthe penny-wise and pound foolish system to de:dre that it should be tried on a service which has justly been looked upon as the bulwark and defence of England—the source of her power and greatness. Mr. WARD, most properly, refrained from holding out any false hope of a diminution of the expenditure. He stated "that he did not believe that any great reduction in these estimates was pos sible or probable, so long as the naval establishments of other nations continued on the footing on which they were at present placed. He thought it would be both unfit and unsafe, 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— that there were periods, when any sudden rupture here, or on the other side of the Atlantic, would have found us unprepared." This is, indeed, a serious consideration; it is well known that the best way to avoid a war which, under the most favourable circumstances, must prove injurious to our commerce, and disastrous to the best interests of the nation, is to be found ever preparel for any alternative that may be forced upon us, to be enabled to protect the rights and interests of our country. Such a state of preparation, too, enables us to speak temperately and firmly, that while on the one hand we make no un worthy, unwise, or dishonourable concession, any step which we may take to avoid so frightful an event cannot be imputed to timidity or cowardice. The na tion, conscious of its strength and power, can afford to take steps for the preservation of peace, the policy or prudence of which might be doubtful in another, whose resources were less available. It was by these means that we avoided the horrors that would have been occasioned by hostilities with our trans-Atlantic brethren, with whom we may now look forward to a long interchange . of friendly relations, mutually beneficial to both countries. There was one part of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech which we hailed with peculiar pleasure—that which held out a hope that the close attention of the Admiralty would be directed during the recess to a system which alone could afford a substitute for present resolutions in making known within the delay of one ' year to our Apostolic Nuncios or other representatives of the Holy Sea, their desire to profit by this act of our clemency. " 3. We equally pardon those who, for having taken part in any conspiracies against the State, are under political sur veillance, or may have been declared incapable of holding municipal offices. "4. It is our desire that all criminal prosecutions for poli tical offences which have not yet received defit;itivejOgment should be instantly put a stop to, and that the prisoners be set at liberty, unless any of them may demand the con tinuation of their trials, in order that their innocence may be proved. "5. There shall not be included in the provisions of the preceding articles the small number of ecclesiastics, of military officers and cotplop7.9 of the Government who have been already condemned, or have fled, or are now under trial for political offences. With regard to those we reserve our de cision until we shall have obtained information as to their particular position. "6. There are also excluded from the present amnesty crimes and ordinary offences, which are subject to the juris i diction of the tribunal. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about 3,500 bales, at former rates. Shares were steady. Most parties in the City connected with banking and com mercial pursuits appear deeply anxious as to the result of the debate on the Sugar Duties, which will be commenced in the House of Commons this evening, and ,it is sincerely hoped brought to a conclusion very speedily. The passage of the Ministerial measure through the House of Commons is deemed all but a certainty, and should Lord Brougham bring forward the matter, though indirectly, as is believed will be the case this evening, something like an index will be formed of the extent of hostility that may be expected to bear upon the proposition of the Premier. The accounts received from the United States of the passing of the tariff, in which many concessions are made in favour of this country, have given very con siderable satisfaction in mercantile circles, as there were doubts entertained that the scale would have been "burked" in the upper branch of the Legislature. It is now fairly presumed that business will very considerably be augmented between the two countries, especially after the adjustment of the Oregon question, which has so long unsettled mercantile pursuits. Some samples of the new crop of Wheat were placed on the stands in Mark-lane this morning, and realised 555. per quarter, or about 6s. to Bs. less than might have been realised the week before last, quality considered. A very considerable amount of business has been done in the grain trade to-day. The new heats are rather short as to weight, but of good average quality. The accounts from most parts of the country within a circle of 70 to 80 miles state that harvest operations, where not already actually be gun, will become general in the course of the present week. Heavy showers Lave fallen in all directions to the greatbene fit of the spring sown corn especially. There is a very firm market for the Funds this morning, and the appearance of things has most decidedly improved. The price for the Account is now 96%, and for the first transfer day, to-morrow, 95% ; Exchequer-bills remain flat at from 15s. to 10s. premium. There has been a slight fall in India Bonds. Bank Stock has advanced 1 per cent. A very limited amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Stocks this morning, but still prices are compa ratively firm. The New Brazilian Bonds for the Account are at 36%, the Mexican Five per Cents. at 26, the Portu guese Four per Cents. are at 46, Spanish Consols at 24% to 25, the Three per Cents. at 36% %, the Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 59% %, and the tour per Cents. 94%. The Railway Share Market has been rather more firm this morning. Still business cannot be said to be brisk. BRITISII FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK.

We hope, more over, that their minds, softened by our pardon, will lay aside their civil hatreds, which are always the occasion and the effect of political passions, in order to draw closer those bonds of peace by which God desires that all the sons of the same father shall be united; but if our hope be deceived, it would be with bitter pain that we should call to mind that if clemency is the sweetest attribute of sovereignty, justice is its first duty. "Given at Rome this 16th day of July, 1846, in the first year of our Pontificate. (Signed) "PIUS P. P. IX." A letter from Rome, of the 18th, gives an interest ing account of the effect produced by the publication of the amnesty. It says : " Nothstanding the exceptions, more than 1,200 per eons are liberated by the happy determination of the truly generous heart of Pius IX. The proclamation of the Holy Father, and the list of the persons amnestied, was posted up yesterday evening at seven o'clock. Half an hour afterwards the people crowded to the Quirinal, shouting Viva it Papa! Viva Pio nono! Viva it nostro buon Papa? From half past seven to half-past nine, the crowd continued to increase at the Quirinal and on the square of Monte CavallO, and the Holy Father appeared, in conformity with the wish of the people, three times at the Grand Balcony, from which he gave each time his benediction, amidst the loudest and most en thusiastic acclamations. AtAbout ten o'clock an orchestra VV43 COLAlratillg the at of St?walla, in the church of the 1 i Madeleine. The crowd went ' ere, and requested thy mu3i -1 chins to leave the church an go to the Quirinal to perform 'in testimony of the joy of the people. At eleven o'clock the square of Monte Cavalo and the environs of the Quirinal were still filled with a compact crowd, whose acclamations were incessant. The repeated cries of Viva Pio nono induced the Pope to appear a fourth time in the balcony, notwith standing the lateness of the hour. The night was very dark, but torches were burningin the balcony, and the populacehad also lighted an immense number, so that every facewas visible, and the effect was pleasing in a high degree. The musicians and a portion of the crowd rema►ned under the windows of the Qdrinal until after midnight. There were no guards out, and yet not the slightest breach of order occured. The city will be illuminated for several evenings in honour of this great event. It is reported that the Pope will in a very few days announce his decision as to the choice of a Secretary o, State. The prevailing opinion is that Cardinal Gizzi will be appointed to this important post, but many persons imagine that the Pope, notwithstanding his wish to appoint Cardinal Gizzi, will be compelled to yield to the influence of high per sonages, who are opposed to such a course. As to Cardinal Lambruechini, it is said that he has lost all chance of being made Secretary of State." 10 :--- pm. 15 10 pm. pin. ONE O'CLOCK. CLOSING PRICES. FOREIGN FUNDS.

This painful necessity (if it can be called a necessity) has hitherto been occasioned by the want of a proper sys- Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 20th instant. The Miguelite movement in the north has been completely suppressed. The Septembrist movement has, however, acquired increased force, and Signor LOUREIRO, the Minister at War, whose neglect of the claims of the officers who took part in the movement at Almeida, in 1843, has been forced to resign his portfolio to Viscount SA DA BANDEIRA. The following is the composition of the new Ministry :—Duke Dr, PALMELLA, President and Minister of the kingdom ; Viscount SA DA BAN DEIRA, War ; Count DE LEVRADIO remains in the Foreign Affairs; Senor AGuIAR, Justice; JULIO GOMES, Finance; Mousisino, Marine. tem of organisatimi by which a connexion between the royal and the mercantile navy might be formed and kept up, and the services of men who had once served their country, who had been practised and trained in naval tactics, whose proessional education had been completed, and each of whom would be more valuable than four of the untried men, who could be procured even by impressment on any occasion of emergency, might be readily and imme diately obtained. The Act for the general register of seamen, although it is susceptible of and requires much improvement, has proved a great check upon desertion from the merchant service, but it is not in that respect alone that it would be valu able. It would be the source and origin from which they might, at a trifling expense, draw in time of need, and, with a proper organisation, would form a most powerful naval reserve. They would always have at home trained sailors, ready for the advance ships ; but, as the Hon. Gentleman well remarked, there was in it too much of mulct and penalty, too little inducement to merit, and too little of permanent interest. It has been the common mistake to attempt matters by coercion which could be much more efficiently and usefully done by kindness. We may hope that an alteration will take place, and that a better mode of treatment will henceforth be adopted to wards our hardy seamen—that steps will be taken, to use the lion. Secretary's own words, to recal and collect together those ele ments of strength now scattered over the whole globe. By our own fault they are so scattered, and it is in our power to recal them by devising a better mode of treatment for the gallant men upon whom the country must rely for its safety. What can be more foolish, or ridiculous, or more injurious in its effects, than the practice of discharging a whole ship's company the moment she is paid off? The consequences are most demoralising and in j arious to the men themselves—they are plundered of their hard-earned wages by a set of harpies who are in waiting, watching for the opportunity, and in a few days are left in destitution, and obliged to seek from other powers that employment which is not afforded to them by their own country. Thus their skill, training, and discipline is lost to us, and transferred to other nations, by whom it is more fully and correctly appreciated. Would it not be far cheaper to retain those valuable men in our own service, to give them a permanent interest in their own country ? A certain number could be kept always ready to supply any demand. We sincerely trust that the present Board of Admi ralty will reorganise and systematise the great defen sive arrangements now in existence. We leave it in their hands, and augur well of the result from the fair promises held out. Madrid Papers of the 20th have arrived.

No reasonable doubt now exists that the great mea- sure of the RUSSELL Administration will obtain the sanction of Parliament as decisively, if not more triumphantly, than did the great measure of the PEEL Administration. That the abolition of all differential duties upon sugar should follow the aboli tion of all restrictions against the importation of corn, is but natural. It is the rational sequence in commercial reform. It is the next segment in the Bearing in mind, however, the long con nuance of those systems which are now considered so obnoxious ; remembering that so many thousands have been pampered by an unnatural protection from competition, and that these thousands have imbibed, during a series of generations, a prejudice in favour of those protective imposts, it cannot be surprising that any step made towards the removal of their revered talisman should arouse their indignation, excite their fears, or elicit the most general and earnest opposition. Hitherto the Legislature has been fostering that very enthusiasm for protection which it now endeavours to allay, in the bosoms of our insular agriculturists and our colo nial planters. The latter are, in point of fact, nothing less than the spoilt children of a villanous mercantile code ; and, in accordance with what we may term circle. the prescriptive rights of spoilt children, our agricul turists and planters become petulant and restive under the tardy correction of the Legislature—they are vociferous for the perpetuation of their old system of leniency. The time has, however, arrived when they must emerge from their leading strings and maintain their position them selves, unscared by the multitude of their competitors, winning their way, as all honest merchants and husbandmen should, by their own good industry, probity, and enterprise. They must never again look for that mistaken kindness which has hitherto been awarded them by the Government —a kindness alike prejudicial to their own prosperity and pernicious to the interests of their common country. Still, in abandoning the old pathway blocked up with so many obstructions, dug into so many pit falls, and deteriorated by so many intolerable sinuosi ties, and in entering the level and capacious highway of free trade, it is both just and generous to explain the reasons for such an alteration to every one who questions its policy or denies its necessity. As regards the Corn question such has been the beha viour pursued throughout. ADAM SMITH and other political economists broached the advisability of such a change. The pamphlets of Colonel TnomrsoN, together with the rhymes of ELLIOTT, enforced the same notion. The annual motion of Mr. VILLIERS drew the attention of eur legislators to the matter, and compelled them to acknowledge that at least there was a necessity for some examination into the matter. The League, by its orations, its discussions, its tracts, aad its newspapers, laid all the bearings of that gigantic question before the British population. And not only was the rationality of the proposed re form demonstrated to all refractory minds by logical arguments, but likewise by experiments, the success _ _ . of which there was no means of denying—we mean the tariff experiments of Sir ROBERT PEEL. Not until the matter had been thus thoroughly sifted by the national intellect ; not until the most ample and elaborate explanations had been reiterated to the pio tectionists, was the grand measure of abolishing the corn laws brought to a termination. The same conduct has been pursued with reference to the Sugar question; but with a considerable abbre viation in the mode of explenatiOn and remonstrance, from the fact, that in most of the arguments to be employed it is nothing better than travelling over the same ground. The relaxations in regard to sugar and corn are only different tracks to the realisation of universal freedom in commerce; and we admire the pithy observation of the Courrier Francais, that "the natural consequences of the revision of the corn-laws ought to be the revision of the sugar duties." There is, so to speak, a consanguinity in the two measures. We have ourselves already reiterated, again and again, the whys and the wherefores of this proposed enactment in favour of placing foreign and colonial sugar upon an equal footing, or of avoiding any mincing distinctions between the produce of free labour and slave-labour in this instance. But, as we had formerly experienced, in the free-trade measures passed during the previous Administration, the same arguments might be gone over and over again with out producing the slightest effect upon the minds of those to whom they were so peculiarly unwelcome— after statements had been demclished to the satisfac tion of the smallest understandings, they were still brought forward, time after time, as though they were the most indisputable of moral truths, and as though their accuracy has never been impeached even by a whisper. Precisely of the same character is the opposition pursued in behalf of the preservation of the differential duties upon sugar. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY, anxious to explain his sentiments be yond all possibility of misapprehension, has issued a second letter to the Premier, in which he persists in the same fallacious style of reasoning. Ile de mands a trial for the planters, and maintains that the capabilities of the colonies should be tested; as ii that trial (and one, moreover, of a terribly expensive character) had not been given by this country during a long series of years ; and as if those capabilities had not been thoroughly tested and found insufficient to supply that necessary article of nourishment to the mother country ! But he even proceeds beyond this very comprehensive flight of imagination. He actu ally makes an ingenious display of calculations by which—this being done, and that being done, and the other being done—the 472 estates of Berbice alone would return " 130,000 hogsheads of sugar for home consumption ! " Such are, undoubtedly, very ad mixable schemes and air-built temples, but they are altogether dispelled by a few blunt, dogged facts. Sach facts, for instance, as that out of these 472 sugar estutes of Berbice, " all, except thirty-five, have been abandoned"—(we are quoting Mr. BERKELEY himself)—and that " these thirty -five estates in the last Year made 8,800 hogsheads." Eight thousand eight huudA. hogsheads—not one hundred and thirt y thousands '. Bu'r,. says Mr. BEIMELEY, tl'e opportunities must be given us by the Legislature. To this we cannot but opine that plenty of oppor tunities have presented themselves since the passing of the Emancipation Act. And, notwithstanding these opportunities, . we find that in the five principal ports of England the sales from the East In dies have fallen to 776,510 quintals for the present year, from 9.58,125 quintals in a corre sponding portion of 1843—and a decrease from Java, Manilla, &c., of 14,272, in 1846, from 30,176, in 1845. Mr. STURGE, again, declares himself opposed to the projected measure solely on the plea of its tending to propagate the spirit of the slave-trade, and without alluding to its being prejudicial to the pecuniary in terests of our colonial possessions, while Mr. 13eeKELET solely enters his protest against the measure upon the latter consideration, acknowledging that "the cry of immorality cannot be fairly raised to prevent the admission of slave sugar." This looks , uncommonly like inconsistency in our colonial protec tionists, and we doubt not that the present will con stitute another illustrious example, that a house (hi, ided against itself cannot by possibility stand. 1 The naval estimates fur the year were brought forward oo Friday night, by Mr. U.

V. - The Richmond Railway was opened to the public yesterday. The station-houses are still unfinished, but the directors have most properly determined to lose no time in affording the public the benefits derivable from the improved means of transit. The journey to Richmond may now be performed by the ordinary trains in half, and by the express in a quarter of an hour. There are four intermediate stations, namely, Mortlake, Barnes, Putney, andWandsworth, at each of which the ordinary trains take up passengers. The di rectors have already entered into arrangements with one of the steam-packet companies for a boat to take passen gers to and from the term inus at Nine Elms at a reduced price. We trust that this will be extended, and that boats calling at all the important stations on the river ma y meet whose affairs they manage. Trains o: the day front eight o'clock in the morning until half - pa st nine at night. The facilities are to run e every train. In no way can they confer so great a be nefitau:: 3 IP, a 1Y v hour thuS afforded will, we doubt not, induce many professional gentlemen, who have hitherto been unable to spare the time consumed by slow modes of conveyance, to take up their re sidences at places contiguous to the stations, or at least occa• sionally enjoy a purer air than that of the City. We under stand that proposals have been made by the South-Western Company for the purchase of the line, but that the Richmond Company have postponed the negotiation until they have had some experience of the returns likely to be yielded. an e' of their GREENOCK AND Too Ex .PREMIER.—The traders onfiaGssrieveenoesiklvearreuagt:ouast to present Sir Robert Peel with a for the measure j iramed by hi p m for ression the abolitiongratitude of the corn-laws, and of their admiration of his independent, eloquent, and successful support of the principles of free trade."

C This Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. Brunel, engineer of the line, was examined with respect to the works, which he.sfated were not remarkable for any extraor dinary difficulty, considering the nature of the country in which they were to be constructed. There was a gradient of 1 in 60 for two miles. Mr. RowE cross-examined the witness at considerable length, to show that the central line was the better line. The questions put to the witness were pressed so pertinac!ously that the Chairman expressed his intention of vacating the chair if this style of examination were persisted in. • Mr. HOWE then opened the case for the opposition, and at the con elusion of his observations tee Committee adjourned. Room B. The members of this Committee, iiainely, Lord Portman (chairman), Lord De Ros, Lord Morley, Lord Mendip, met at eleven o'clock. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE BRANCH. Mr. HILDYARD opened the ease for the promoters of the Bill. A long mliscussion took place between the counsel as to the right of the corporation of the Newcastle Infirmary, a portion of whose ground was crossed by the proposed railway, to be heard. The Committee decided that the petitioners were entitled to be heard. Mr. John Moore was then examined by Mr. INGHAM, and stated that the level of the rails was below that of the entrance to the in firmary at Newcastle. This witness was cross-examined at length, to show that great annoyance must result to the inmates of the infirmary in question from the proposed railway. The Committee decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved, and the clauses were then gone through. NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON (PONTOP AND SOUTH SHIELDS PURCHASE). This Bill, being unopposed, the Committee declared that the pre amble was proved. COCKEILTVIOUTH AND WORKINGTON EXTENSION. This Bill being also unopposed, the preamble was proved. The Committee then sepanited. Room C. SOUTH-EASTERN BRANCH (MAIDSTONE TO CHART.) The Committee re-assembled this morning; the Earl of Devon in the chair. Mr. B. Stephenson, the engineer, was called, who confirmed the statements of Mr. Alexanderrespecting the estimates and gradients on the line, stating further that in planning this Mid-Kent branch he had a view to the through traffic to the coast. There is a line already in working between Tulibridge and Tunbridge Wells, and an Act has this session been obtained for a line from thence to Hastings. In laying . out these lines he had always considered Maidstone as a centre of operations, for that place was Sl situated that lines in all direc tions can radiate with great advanta;e to the country. The Padock Wood Bill had been lost in the House of Commona this session, so that the communication with Chatham will not be complete, but that line will be applied for again, and then the scheme which had been devised would completely supply the whole of the county of Kent with railway facility. By the formation of this line the distance between Maidstone and Dover would be reduced thirteen miles, and the distance between the former place and Chart would be reduced nearly one-half. Taking Maidstone as a centre, the passengers from London would be saved twenty miles, and thosefrom Maidstone would be saved thirteen miles. The district is now altogether without railway acconmiodation, and, in his opinion, as an engineer, the line was absolutely essential for the welfare of the inhabitants. A Bill has been obtained this session for enlarging the station of Ashford, which it is now intended to use as a station depot, Just as Swindon is for the Great Western line. and Wolverton on the Birmingham Railway. As the engineer of the London and Birmingham line, witness had had peculiar opportuni ties of observing the evils of a divided management, especially at Derby, where there were three different companies using the same station. The consequence of that fact was that a continual disunion occurred ; but an amalgamation of the three com panies who worked the line between London and Leeds took place, and the effect had been not only to obtain an harmonious co-opera tion in the functionaries of the company, but the expenses of one of the three parties had entirely disappeared in the cash account, although the traffic has very largely increased. 'the c*.untry be tween London and Maidstone Is certainly very difficult, and good gradients could not be obtained. A Mid-Kent line was absolutely necessary for the through traffic front Dover, for the traffic from Chatham must be very frequent, and would consequently interrupt the communication with the Continent. On cross-examination, Mr. Stephenson stated that the line to Lewisham, the Bill for which was already obtained, deviated from the Greenwich Railway, and. running through Deptford, would give accommodation to that place, as well as to seve tal others, at present on to Lewisham, where it is about two miles and a half from the Cron don line. In carrying out the whole of tits schem i there would be twenty-nine roads crossed in a level, including four turnpike-roads. The tunnel at Farnborough would be 2,513 yards long, but the country was difficult, and he adopted this course as well as that of crcosing the roads on a level, to save expense, the amount for that purpose being very serious in a hilly country. After hearing Lane further evidence, the Committee adjourned. Room D. GLASGOW, DITIYIrIiZES,'AND cArziasias. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, the Earl St. Germans in the chair, when the examination of witnesses for the opposition to the Bill was resumed. Mr. Errington, civil engineer, was called and examined—fie had been the engineer of the competing Canobie branch of the Caledo nian line. He was now the engineer of the Lancaster and Carlisle. He was therefore well acquainted with the country. He had likewise surveyed the valley of the Nith. He was well acquainted with the works on the Caledonian line, and had, within the last few days, been inquiring into tenders for the bridges on the Caledoni.,n, and was satisfied that Mr. Collister was correct. He had gone ever the estimates of Mr. Blyth, and had carefully examined those of Sir. Collister, and he felt quite satisfied the latter was the lowest possible price at which the works could be constructed. Judging from every appearance of what prices would be for the next few years, he was sure the line would cost considerably more than even the sum stated by Mr. Collister. He had made the estimate for the Dumfries and Canobie branches of the Caledonian scheme that had been submitted to the Commons. The Dumfries and Gretna line he set down at 338,7511., exclusive of stations. (The witness here went into the particulars that went to make up this sum total). Vlore was 41,000 cubic yards f whinstone rock cutting, which he estimated at 33. 5 .4d. a yard. Th o is he thought little enough, as it was a very difficult and expensive rock to cut. He recollected a cutting on the Grenock line on which 320 tons of gunpowder was expended. The reason of this was there was often considerable labour bestowed on a blast, without producing any great result or displacement of rock. Ile estimated the permanent way at 5,0001, a mile. With regard to the weight of rails, he did not know any line that was laying down rails at less than 751bs. a yard. He knew that the Ayrshire, Edinburgh, and Glasgow liues had taken up light rails, and were now laying down rails of 751bs. There was net so much diffaence In the quantity of the works to be con structed as in the price of the works, and their nature. This estimate had been deposited in November last. It was rather under I 4,000 L a mile. This was much the easiest portion 01 the Is; itlisdale scheme. The portion from Dunifries to Cumnock would most a good deal more, there were so many gullies and ravines upon it. Cross-examined—The average difference in prici of rock cutting would dep,nd on the proportion of sands one as compared *Ali whinstone. The lowest price he had known of whinstone cutting on the Greenock line was 2s. Gd. a yard, the highest was 3s. 6d. The average, as far as he could recollect, was 3s. This referred to the Bishoptown Hill cutting. He was quite sure there wire large masses of whinstone cutting on the Dunitries line.. It might not be precisely, of the same character as the Bishoptown work, but it seemed to him quite as difficult as the former. It was, be believed, slaty grawacke. Mr. Locke and himself were verb much connected together. especially on railways in the north. lie gave evidence on the Dundee and Perth. and on that occasion, his estimate was considerably more than Mr. Miller's. The Bill passed, and he believed the works had been let for less than the estimate-, but he was sure they never would be completed for the price. There would be extras before the line was completed, which would add materially to the total c- at. lie knew from similar cases on other lines, that works could not be made at such low raies. He was not aware that there was an embaniunent 175 feet high, with a culvert, on the Edinburgh and llawick line of last year. Ile was not aware that the estimate of the Dumfries line was depo sited some time beliare the Caledonian (Dumfries branch), or that the petition for it was pre sented sootier. He had gone over the items that morning, having only arrived in town late last nigit,. though he had ge gone over Mr. Blyth's estimates about six weeks ago. Ile could not undertake to say that Mr. Miller was eonstructing turnpike and occupation bridges on the Kilmarnock line at less than the prices named in the .Dumfries estimate. Sir. Miller had had great engineering experience, but he did not think he had had more than himself (the witness). Re-examined.—He was at present constructing from 400 to 50 miles of railway in Scotland, so that he had had considerable expe rience even of works in Scotland. It was much the wisest policy to give liberal terms to a contractor for the proper constriction of the works than screw down the prices, and have-a numbefof petty con tractors. Mr. Locke, civil engineer, examined by Mr. COCRBIIRN —IIe was engineer of the Cilledonlart line. and perfectly familiar with the railways in Scotland. He quite agreed that the estimate of the Caledonian Cod pany for the Dumfries and Gretna branch was a correct one. He would advise the directors to-morrow to accept tenders for such works as those named in the 8111 sanctioned by Parliament. The prices which Mr. Collister had attached to the various items were lets than those paid on the Caledonian, and ho thought the latter fair and reasonable, and was prepared to defend them. He agreed also in the evidence given by Mr. Collister on the cuttings, bridges, and permanent way. The rock on this line was similir to that on the Caledonian line. The particular rock which h ;d been reti;rred to was trap, or g rawicke. The same ridge extended across the Cal,donian line. Re didnut believe the works could be con structed for less titan stated by Mr. Collister. Mr. Miller's estimate for the Dumfries and Gretna portion of the Nithsdale scheme Was 251,0001. • his was 333,7511. He hod origina ll y , at the recommenda tion of the Commissioners, given up Armen on the route of the line. He did to reluctantly, though he still calculated on the Annan traffic as belonging to the Caledonian, and so did the Commissioners. The same applied to Dunfr:es. He believed, also, that 48,0101. was as little as the line could be worked for per annum. Cross-examined—Lie ' did not know that Mr. Robert Stephenson or Mr. Bruusl had changed their systems. lie believed Mr. Brunel let his works by competition, as did Mr. Vignoles and Mr. Hawk shaw. The last great work of Mr. Stephenson was not let by com petition. The whole estimate of the Caledonian line was 2,000,0001., but at that moment he could not say how much it was per mile. The levels en the route of the Nithside line were very favourable. The line of railway recommended by the CoMmissioners in the year 1840 had a gradient of 1 in 113. This was the severest. The present Caledonian line had a gradient of 1 in 75 for four miles, and lin 80 for four miles. The severest gradient on the Nithsdale line was 1 in 150, which was a good gradient for general purposes, though not for a heavy ascending mineral traffic. Mr. itontion, assistant to Mr. Locke, deposed that he had sup plied the quantities from the sections of the lice to Mr. Collister, and they were correctly made up. Cross-exam ned—He had taken what was rock and what was not from the sections. He could not say who had written the words on the sections. He believed all the words werr written on at the time lie made the calculation. With regard to the word " trap," he believed it was written on the sections at the time he took the quan tit!es, but he could not say positively that it was. Re-examined —All he had to do in the present matter was simply to take the cuttings and slopes from the sections and calculate ac cordingly. He had nothing whatever to do with the marking Of the rocks, or as to what kind of rock should be marked at particular places. Mr. COLLINTER, civil engineer, was recalled and briefly examined, to the effect that the writing in pencil on the sections, which had been referred to, was written on them at the time the calculations -were medal As far as the outline and general character of the line were concerned, the plans and sections tom which he had calculated were a verfect copy of those deposited in the Private Bill-office. Mr. Cnexatiast intimated that this was the evidence he had to offer on the question of engineering and estimates. Mr. ANDREWS then said he proposed to recall Mr. Miller. ' Mr. CocKseaN objected, as the case for the promoters was closet, Mr. ANDREWS said he wished to recall Mr. Miller. to oiler expla nations on the points alluded to respecting the price of the works on the line, and to prove that similar contracts were being. executed at less prices on other lines. It would be recollected that his Learned Friend carefully omitted to cross-examine Mr. Miller on those points when he wits before the Committee. The CHAIR MAN intimated that they did not think it necessary to call Mr. Miller. The room was then cleared for the deliberations of the CoMmittee. therefore ht w et i ri s e l ei i by e wished e did th a theyt not After a lbw minutes the parties were called in, when The GMAIRMAN said the Comn a i t i ni t i t it e di e i igirtt the Cockburn should bt well t , r .i l - 1 tsohoinultbdril)en counselre stl;e' fdortotlowneCtsdpeedeocibli deuce for the estimates of the Nithsdale line had been shaken by the 3i t l i or i tidal: counter-evidence adduced. The Committee were, therefore, now pre pared to hear evidence on the Dumfries and Canobie branches of the Caledonian Company. The case on behalf of these branches was then resumed. Mr. Locke, civil engineer, examined—Deposed that the Caledo nian branch, between Dumfries and Carlisle, was shorter than the Dumfries scheme. In other. respects it was the saute. He thought it would be better for Dumfries that two companies should meet there, rather than being placed entirely under One eotnpany. Re specting the Canobie Caledonian branch, which went to Langholme, It had better gradients for mineral traffic than the Nithsdale branch. Cross-Examined—The inhabitants of Dumfries, he believed, were very generally in flvour of the Nithsdale scheme, and also the land owners along it. With regard to all traffic passing from Carlisle, through Dumfries up Nithsdale, there would be as much incon venience from the two lines meeting at Duintrio; as at flretna. He thought his Dumfries line towards Edinburgh was much preferable to the Nithsdale and Crawick branch. Re-examined—lle did not think it would be possible to run trains from Dumfries to Edinburgh by the Crawick branch in connexion with the Caledonian, and thus there would be a considerable loss of time. The Caledonian line had a project which would have to some extent supplied the accommodation sought to be given by the Cray, ick branch—tile Caledonian Extension. No doubt the Caledonian in time would have supplied the district with lateral branches. Mr. Ellington, civil engineer, corroborated the evidence of the - respecting previous witness the branches proposed by the Caledonian Company, and their superi ority to accommodate the southern and Edinburgh and Mai, • - , ow traffic, over the Nitlisdale scheme, including the Crawick branch. Mr. Brandt, banker of Annan, examined-He was in favour of the Nithsdale scheme last year, because the Caledonian branch did not touch Annan. lie thought the proposition of the present year would accommodate Annan better than the Nithsdale same, in as fax as % P I% 148% 38% 214 p 3% • communication with the north and Edinburgh and Glasgow Nr. concerned.

He wee a shareholder in the Caledonian, and also in the Nithsdttle scheme. Mr. Elliot, farmer, in the neighbourhood of Dumfries, examined-- ( He said the opinion of a great number of persons in his neighbour hood was, that the Caledonian branches would better supply tile more portions portions of Dumfries than the Nithsdale scheme. r tici, Cross-examined—The Caledonian would not accommodate pa between Dumfries and Cumnock, or persons coming from AYrelli re l_ The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clioca.
