We could effect an average , throughout the district of 10s. per Mr. Serge ant WRANGLUI, after some further remarks on the general merits of the line, said the question fo r their Lordshi p s to consider was, whether they would allow the scheme p ro p osed by his ton or a saving gtal in Learned Friend, to give that by a branch, as from the Eastern sa sa th v e ing pri of ee 36l,ool. coals Counties line, which required a direct com munication.

He was satisfied that the line was one which would confer a great advantage on the public; he was sure it would increase the trade of that town, and there was no doubt of the traffic becoming doubled when this line of railway was con structed. The general feeling, indeed he might say the whole, feeling of tte public was in favour of the direct line of communication. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN, but the Com mittee indicating their wish for an abridgment, the evidence was, accordingly, materially curtailed. Mr. Strong and Mr. Joshua Ranson were then called, and gave similar evidence. The latter witness stated that the frequent mis management of the Eastern Counties Railway had occasioned much inconvenience to the public by the great delays in the transit of the goods. Mr. Whitbread, of South-hill, examined by Mr. PAGE-iv—ls a largelandowner. Could state that Covent-garden Market, and other large markets in London, were principally supplied with vegetables from Bedford, and the greatest difficulty was experienced by the present mode of conveyance. There was but one feeling in favour of the London and York line, for it had been started before anything like a railway mania had sprang up, and it was looked upon by the country gentlemen, all through that part with which he was ac quainted, as got up by the most respectable persons, for accommo dating the country, The witness was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN, after which the Committee adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow (Thursday). HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP IV. The Committee met at 12 o'clock. Present, Mr. Hope (Chair man), Viscount Chelsea, Viscount Bernard, Sir H. Howard, and Mr. Wilahere. ABERDEEN, BANFF, AND ELGIN. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, en behalf of the promoters, addressed the Committee briefly, and concluded by saying that he had had a consultation with his clients that morning, and they had thought it advisable to withdraw their Bill, at the same time they utterly &- claimed all the imputations of fraud thrown out against them. The CHAIRMAN said that in the course of the inquiry to which they had given a patient investigation, they had not seen the slightest ground for the charge of fraud. It became therefore the duty of the Committee to declare that the preamble of the Bill of the Aberdeen, Banff, and Elgin Railway bad not been proved. The preamble of the Bill of the Great North of Scotland line had been proved. The several clauses of the Bill of the Great North of Scotland Railway were then agreed to.

LONDON RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. GROUP I. The following are the Bills composed in this group : London and York Railway—Direct Northern Railway (London to York)—Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway—Doncaster, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway—Eastern Counties Railway (Lincoln to Milford)—Eastern Counties Railways (Cambridge to Lincoln) — Eastern Counties Railway (March and Lincoln Extension)—Cam bridge and Lincoln Extension, &c., Railway—Midland Railways (Swinton and Lincoln)—Manchester and Lincoln Union Rail way and Chesterfield and Gainsberough Canal—Manchester, Midland, and Great Grimsby Junction Railway—Axholme, Gains borough, Goole, and York and North Midland Junction Railway— Lynn and Ely Railway (Extension to Spalding)—Wisbeach, St. Ives, and Cambridge Junction Railway—York and North Midland Rail way (Widening and Enlargement)—Eastern Counties Railway (Hertford and Huntingdon)—Sheffield and Lincolnshire Extension Railway—Ely and Huntingdon Railway (Bedford. Etension.) The greatest interest was manifested in the proceedings by the crowds of persons surrounding the avenues to the Committee-room. Soon after eleven o'clock, the Committee, which was farmed of the following noblemen, took their seats :—The Earl of Lovelace (chair man), Viscount Vivian, the Earl of Bandon, the Marquis of Camden, and Lord Morley. The following Counsel appeared for the DIRECT NORTHERIT. Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., Mr. Webster, Mr. Bacon, and Mr. Laing ; for the EASTERN COUNTIES, Mr. Austen, Q.C., Mr. Talbot, Q.C., Mr. Hildyard, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Jones, and Mr. Hope ; for the LONDON AND YORK, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Paget, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Dennison. Upon our entering the room, we were most disagreeably surprised to find that not the slightest accommodation was provided for the press. This, however, was very soon remedied, for after an application to the Noble Chairman, a communication was made to James Pulman, Esq., Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, who most promptly and courteously remedied the momentary in convenience we were subjected to, and for which we tender him our most grateful acknowledgement of the favour conferred upon us, for without such kindness we should net have been able to hear one word of the arguments in the most interesting of all the railway inquiries of this or any other session of Parliament. The several petitions for and against the various schemes com prised In the group having been put in, Mr. 11ILDTARD, Q.C., rose to address the Committee on behalf of the MIDLAND YORK, AND NORTH-MIDLAND ENLARGEMET. The Learned Counsel said he appeared for this line of railway, the necessity for which was so great that he might confidently state to their Lordships it would be nude whether or net the Landon and York Railway passed. It was to be a line of 14 miles in length, and was clearly for the enlargement and convenience of an existing line, and therefore perfectly independent of any rival line. ➢ir. Sergeant Wasiomut would object to the course adopted by his Learned Friena. It was clearly a competing line, and the London and York line had precedence before their Lordships. The Noble CHAIRMAN intimated the readiness of the Committee to hear the case for the LONDON AND YORK. Mr. Sergeant WRANORAM, in opening the case for the London and York, begged their Lordships not to weigh the importance of this matter by any speech which he would make on the present occasion. But to judge of the facts which would be brought before them in evidence. He need not remind their Lordships of the great advance ment that had lately been made in the railway world. The present Circuitous route to York had forced the present line upon the public, and the great increase of traffic had also rendered such a company imperatively necessary. A short time since a project was set on foot to obtain a direct communication between London and York, and the result of this proposition was the trunk line from London to York now under their Lordships' consideration. He would remind their Lordships of the course of the proposed railway. It went as near as possible to the whole line of the old north road, and goes close by those towns which had risen on its side. It keeps to this course as far as Peterborough, and there takes a turn through the fertile districts of Lincoln. From thence the mighty line proceeds through the manufacturing districts, and at York effects a junction with the great lines of the North of England, and forming a direct means of communication with Scotland itself. It was the object of the promoters to give that access not only by a direct route, but by a route entirely under one management. A second great object of the promoters was to give a railway communication through the rich and fertile districts of Lincoln, which is at present altogether unpro vided for. It is, without comparison, the most fertile district of England. Its markets are London, the South of England, and all the manufacturing districts in the north. This project bad been carried out by means of that portion of the line called the "Loop." It was not only their objeet to connect the markets for the disposal of their produce, but also to receive supplies from thence. The West Riding of Yorkshire is not only amanufacturing country, but also a la r grn mineral field, whence the inhabitants of England, south of that port, e derive an unlimited supply of coals. The loop to which referred, by passing along the banks of the River Witham, placed them in direct communication with all parts of the North of England. The arrangement for the purchase of the River Witham Navigation bad received the sanction of the Standing Orders' Committee. With re ference tothe district through which the line traversed, line aver sed, itw most fertile nature, and would lie betweentraversed as be f y the t h the the Eastern Countiei line, and its branches, and theLondonand Birm ingham and Midland branches.

It wo ther in the items of g o f the Committee by =time not be worth while to waste the e GREAT NORTH Or SCOTLAND (EASTERN EXTENSION). The parties not being ready to proceed with this Bill, it was ar ranged that the Committee should adjourn to twelve o'clock on Friday, when the Alford Valley Line Bill would be proceeded with first. The Committee then adjourned, after sitting half an hour. GROUP XIII. This Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock—Sir W. Clay in the chair. Other Members present—Earl Jermyn, Mr. P. Ainsworth, and Mr. Curteis. CALEDONIAN (EXTENSION AND BRANCHES). The further evidence in support of this Company, and against the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle scheme, was proceeded with. Mr. William Pare, examined by Mr. HOPE —He had been engaged for ten or twelve years in calculating railway traffic. For the last three years he had been repeatedly in Scotland—all over the country —but especially in the southern district. He had taken the traffic of the Caledonian in 1844. and also that of the rival line, his object being to calculate whether there was a Kolaithillty of through traffic to support a second line. _ The present Dun4ries i sclieme was similar in, it; so urse to the one of last year. He took great pains to collect in formation by referring to Official tables at the stamp office; the several coach offices, &c., and also by posting parties to take the traffic. He had also, last winter, gone over the district a second time, with a view to the Caledonian Extension, so that he had gone over the route of both lines minutely. The first time he estimated the through traffic in passengers and goods along the Caledonian line from Glasgow to Carlisle at 89,3741., and that from Edinburgh to Carlisle at 20,9481. 18s. 10d. This was the traffic both ways. This return he submitted to the Committee last year. The through traffic along the Nethsdale line he estimated, to and from Edinburgh and Glasgow and Dumfries, at 7,8111. 115. ld. and from Dumfries to Carlisle at 6,7191., making a total through traffic on the Dumfries line of 14,530/. 16s. 104, The total through traffic on the Caledonian scheme he estimated at 124,856/. 4s. 3d. The local traffic on the same line he set down for passengers, goods, minerals, &c., 101,1581. 13s. 5d., making a total on the Caledonian of 226,0121. 17s. 6d. For the through traffic on the Caledonian line, there was no doubt that the Nethsdale line would be a direct competing line. Supposing the Nethsdale line to be sanctioned, and the Caledonian Dumfries branch re ffised, then would the former line take all the Dumfries traffic, and one-half of the Glasgow traffic making the amount of 59,2181. This would leave the revenue of the Caledonian 166,8041 This estimate was of gross revenue. Deducting 47 4 per cent. on the original estimate, an amount of about 100,0001., then there would remain but 66,8041. He went upon the calculation of Mr. Locke, that with half traffic the expenses of working of the line would be nearly the same as if there was no competing line. This would leave three per cent. on the capital of the Company, 2,100,0001. If the Hawick extension was carried out then would there be not only a competition for the traffic proper of Edinburgh, but also with that of the north by means of the Edinburgh and Northern. From his inquiries be was satisfied that the local traffic would neither support the Nettesdale nor the Caledonian schemes. The traffic tables of the Dumfries line last year showed an estimate of 128,5101. This was 58,5951. for through traffic, and 69,915/. for local traffic. This year, for their scheme as a; local line, they set down the traffic at 102,0001. The scheme last year was the same as the one this year, only it extended to Kilmarnock. The increase of local traffic was about 32,0001 In place of the portion of last year, from Kilmarnock to Cumnock, which was struck off, there was the Crawick branch, but it went through a district almost totally destitute of population. The Kil marnock part struck off was one of the best portions of last year's scheme for local traffic and a considerable reduction should be made on the account. With regard to the passengers, he did not agree with the evidence of the Dumfries Company. He knew something of the Standard coach, and he had examined its money settlements and had estimated its passengers. He considered the number of passengers very much overstated. The passengers, from the pains he had taken to ascertain the real traffic, the amount should not have been set down at near the num ber stated. The same applied to the Dumfries coach. He considered their tables also faulty with regard to the traffic by chaises, gigs, &c. ; this had reference to table 5, which instead of being set down at 8,197/., should be but 2,7501. The principle which he adopted, which he believed a sound one, was to take only the half of those seen in private vehicles, whereas the Dumfries Company took credit for the whole. With regard to table No. 6, the Ayrshire and Fleet wood passengers, he considered that much overstated. He was cer tain a considerable portion of Glasgow through passengers were in cluded in the table. He considered also that on the Ayrshire traffic by the Glasgow steamers was exaggerated. The same applied to the Dumfries and Annan and Liverpool steamers. Where the steamers ran at very low fares as here, he did not assume for the steerage passengers. He only calculated for the cabin passengers, but they took all, and added 100 per cent. for increase. In table 7. instead of 6,7231. for general merchandise by land, the amount should be reduced by 2,1761. This was independent of the 50 per cent. put down for increase. General merchandize by water was also much exaggerated, both that taken by steamers and sailing vessels. He had not only exaggerated the quantity, but fixed the ratesest too high. The total deductions from all the items in their tables ha i mated to be, on passengers , 19,062/. 19s. ; and goods and merchan dise 3,9381. 19s. s d:; maki n g a total reduction of 23,001/.. l e B a s. tu ad e: Th an i d had no relation to redu ctions on account of minerals. sheep, or tile drains, to which he could not spe n a g k t .

GROUP XL This Committee met to-day at the usual hour, Mr. Sotheron in the chair. WINDSOR, SLOUGH, AND STAINES ATMOSPHERIC. Mr. Jesse, the surveyor of the Woods and Forests, having been cross-examined by Mr. WAB.REN on the evidence he gave yesterday, Mr. Richings, a solicitor, was then examined by Mr. MacsuLsi— He had resided fer twenty-three years at Staines, and his business frequently led him to Windsor. There was great inconvenience felt by the present deficient means of communication between the two places. The journey to and fro occupied nearly a day at present. Daring the floods a circuitous route by Englefield had to be taken, and this caused delay. The communication between Statues and Slough would be great accommodation, as affording the means of easy transit by the Great Western Railway to the west, and also to the north, as a railway was about being made between Oxford and Birmingham. Ma. Richard Ibbotson, a proprietor of paper-mills, Mr. Buckton, land-surveyor and valuer, and other witnesses, were examined, with the view of showing the great advantages which would be t conferred by as to thegreat by the proposed line. They all concurred railway accommodation for the district, and were of opinion that the desideratum Committeerat umw ould ad jbeounedsupplietil twelveifthep rod lines constructed. T o'clocke to-tnorro were w. GROUP XLIV. - - The same members of the Committee were present at twelve o'clock, as on former occasions. Lord Palmerston again took the chair. The unfinished case of the CLITIZZILOE JUNCTION. was proceeded with. Mr. BAINES proceeded with the partly finished cross-examination of Mr. Garnett ; who then stated that the Clitheroe Junction, and the East Lancashire line, would shortly be amalgamated, an agree ment being already made to that effect. The solicitor to the East Lancashire line was also the solicitor to the Clitheroe Junction. In fact, the East Lancashire Company were promoting this 13111, (an admission which the witness appeared very unwilling to make). The rest of the cross-examination of this witness referred entirely to general matters, and was entirely uninteresting to the public. Mr. James Thompson, a cotton p rinter at Clitheroe, gave general evidence in favour of the line, more particularly in respect of the coal, the lime, and the cotton trade of Clitheroe. He was one of the provisional directors, and is still a director. Mr. R. Fort, one of the late Members for Clitheroe, gave goner a. evidence in favour of the line, similar to that of the last witness This witness is the owner of a seat near Morton Hall, the house of the retitioner, Mr. Taylor. This seat is shown on the large model put in by Mr. Taylor, and reprasenting Morton Hall, with the park, farm, and f ar m-land adjoining, and em al b so mwlt t om he e , n s a t e s n y , d e ld r a al h d e U ad e s j t u , a r e gi c e n . t e , seats, including Mr. Fort's. This model shows the pr o p er ty as it is, and as it will be if this li ne be made, the of being e r g e r p o r u e n se d n be ted ing by re m pre ov s ea en h t l e e d b p y i ecsesimiolfabor moveable x o pieces of wood wherever there are to be cattings. It was made by Messrs. Flin toft of Keswick. The model, however, with all the care that ap pears to have been taken in its constrtrtion, does not truly repre- sent the ground, the vertical scale being 100 feet to the inch, while the horizontal scale is 198 feet to the inch ; the consequence of which is, that (Neu mound, hillock, cutting, embankment, house, shed, appears to be twice its actual height in proportion to ite igth and breadth. Thus the embankments, &c., are very much tggerated. dr. Fort was eross-examined at length by Mr. BAINES and Mr. lIIVALE, the former, on the part of the competing line—the Lckburn, Clithero, and North Western Junctiot.—and the latter on part of the petitioner, dr. William Green, a coal owner in the vicinity of Accrington, , e evidence as to the superiority of the Wigan over the Paddiham coal. The seam was deeper at Wigan than at Paddiham. Although Wigan was treble the distance from Blackburn that Paddiham was, the Wigan colliers could compete with the Paddiham colliers, in the Blackburn market. The proposed line would greatly improve the trade of both places.

A person has recently returned to this town, of which he is a native, from the State of Ohio, in America, to see his friends who are resident s i n Brighten and other parts of this country. He left Brighton with his wife and several children about 14 years ago in straitened circumstances, landed at New York, and proceeded at once to the "far west." Ar rived in the State of Ohio he pulled off his coat, to use his own words, and went to work on about 100 acres of land, which he found means, slender as were his resources, to purchase, and has succeeded well, considering that be had little or no capital to commence with in the New World. He has now 90 acres of well-cleared land—all his own; a house, gardens, outhouses, stables, cow houses, piggeries, &c.; abundance of everything, and only wants a better market for his produce, of which, he says, he can raise twice as much, if required; but as all his time is not required on the land, he and his sons work during the season in his own brick-yard. He returned this week to the States; but whilst in Brighton we had a long conversation with him, and found him a plain, but well informed man. He thought, he said, that the time was not distant when there would Ise a separation between the northern and southern States of the Union, as the feud between them runs very high on the slave question. It was the Democrats (Tories, as we should call them) of the slave-hold ing States who returned Mr. Polk, in spite of the Whigs (Liberals) of the northern States. It was the Democrats who insisted upon having Texas, and now insist on having Oregon, and who make all the clamour about war. The people of the northern States, with Mr 2 Webster at their head, are for peace; friendly t)wards Great Britain; moderate in their politics; and, speaking confidently of the State of Ohio, quite as moral as the people of England; but very shrewd in their dealings, very industrious and per geveving. Justice. heasays, is as well administered as in England —the spirit of the laws, and often the letter, being the same; but there is not that decorum in Courts of Justice which is observed in England. The sale and transfer of land are very simple. Printed forms may be obtained, and the seller and buyer have nothing to do but fill up the blanks with au account of the boundaries of the land to be sold. It is then taken to the sheriff or mayor, who sees the parties sign the deed, and signs it himself. For this he charges one shilling. To render the deed quite sure, it is then taken to the register office and registered, for which the charge is 25., and the deed is as good and binding as if drawn up by a score of lawyers, at a cost, as it would be in England, of many pounds. He has no rent to pay, no tithes, and the taxes alto gether are only a few dollars a-year. The soil of the valley of the Ohio is, he says, excellent, and the climate beautiful ; but a little warmer in summer, and a little colder in winter, than in England; but in the depth of winter the sun usually shines brightly, so that a man may, with pleasure, throw off his coat at work. He never suffered so much from wet and cold as he did in England in winter. Ila knew of no labourer who was paid in Ohio less than 13s. with his board and lodging. No man ever goes out of the farmer's house for his food, which is so plentiful that it is thought little of. The single men usually work for a farmer and live in the house with the above wages, till they have saved enough to take some land of their own. They then marry, and most of them do as well as he has done. In his own township—five miles square, and all the valley is set out in similar townships—there were but two poor persons—one a lunatic, the other an infirm old man. There was rarely a criminal; but if a robbery happened or other crime, all the people in every township were on the alert to ap prehend the criminal. In his township the population was about 1,000 souls. There was plenty of game and wild turkeys for anybody to shoot, and abundance of fish in the fivers. Wheat was 3s. a bushel ; Indian corn (maize) and barley, ls. 6d. per bushel; pork—the best— three halfpence per lb. ; beef, 2d. per lb.; mutton, 2d. per lb. He had abundance of honey in his hives. Spirits were about Is. per gallon. Fruit in abundance ; and excellent molasses made by his own family. He said it was of no use for people to go to America that can't work ; that can't do something useful.

ABOLITION OF PRIMROSE-nri.L !PAIR.—On Monday, Sir Peter Laurie called at the Mansion-House for the purpose of stating that he rode on Sunday to the ini • vie ty of Primrose-hill, to ascertain whether the public communication which he considered it his duty to make from the chair of the justice-room, with respect to the fair held every Sunday on Primrose-bill, had produced any effect I upon those by whose authority such desecration of the Sabbath could be prevented. He had the greatest satisfaction in mentioning that there was the clearest evidence of the efficacy of the complaint he had made, even during the whole of the day in the neighbourhood. for not one of the roundabouts or swings, or other paraphernalia of a fair, was to be seen, and policemen were stationed on the spot, with peremptory directions to interpose their authority should any such attempt to introdnce the " Bartholomew business" be made. He was indebted to the press for the alaerity and promptitude with which it had afforded its powerful aid on the occasion. WILD SWANS NEAR SHREWSBURIT.—Ten wild swans visited a piece of water near the house of J'. Morris, Esq., of Oxon, near this town, settled there three weeks, and thence fled to Bomere Pool, the property of E. 0. S. Owen, Esq., of Condover ; they re turned to Oxon, and then betook themselves to the water at Onslow, the residence of Colonel Wingfield, near this town. Two weeks ago some thousands of brent geese passed Brighton, about a mile at sea. There was a continuous stream of them for at least two hours, and their course was from east to west. And about the same time, GalignanPs Paris newspaper announced that "four wild swans were seen flying over the large piece of water in the Tuileries at the end towards the Place de la Con corde, and at length drop down upon it with a sudden dash, which at first frightened the two tame swans which have hitherto had the exclusive occupation of the basin. These, however, soon recovered their confidence, and seemed to wel come their unexpected guests with true French courtesy, The Vi sitors were sornewhat,less in size than their hosts, but their plumage was much more brilliantly white. They did not appear to be at all disturbed by the presence of several persons who stood on the brink of the water, but enjoyed themselves until the hour when the foun tain surprised and alarmed alarmed them so that th ey — Sh r ewsbury Chronicle. again took flight." MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUTH.—On Tuesday forenoon Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Perseverance Tavern, William-street, Hampstead-road, on the body of George Brown, aged eighteen years, a labouring boy. The deceased was lodging at No. 11, Williams-mews, in the above neighbourhood, and had always enjoyed excellent health up to the period of his death. It was stated that, on Friday last, he took a dose of Epsom salts, retiring to rest at ten o'clock, his usual hour, when he seemed un usually cheerful. At five next morning (Saturday) he was discovered lying on the bed quite dead—his face exceedingly discoloured.Asur geon was soon called in, and the body being quite warm, attemptslife were Made to restore animation, but pr oved useless, aswas 1 mortem the Coroner, said she could not ne ' r—Why had you not said examination was made.
