There Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON gave notice, that on Tuesday, the 7th of April, he should move the adjournment of the House until Tuesday, the 21st, for the Easter recess. In answer to the Duke of RICHMOND, it was stated by the Duke of WELLINGTON that the Corn Bill would not come vp before the 27th of April. Their Lordships then adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several railway Bills were read a second time and ordered lo be committed. Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY gave notice of his intention, on the' Ist of April, to move for a copy of all orders by which the post-master of Cheltenham was authorised to make an additiOnal charge upon certain letters in the town. SomErtvILLE gave notice of his intention, on the motion fi4 the first reading of the Isiah Life and Property Bill, to move, as an amendment, that the other orders of the day be read first. Sir R. PEEL presented a petition from Aberdeen, in favolir of the Ministerial measure for the alterations of the corn laws. The Right Hon. Baronet also presented petitions from Manchester and Nottingham, praying the House speedily to pass the government measure with respect to the corn-laws. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question put to him the other day by Mr. HuME, stated that it was his intention not to propose a longer recess at Easter than eleven dayi, and that he would not even pledge himself to move so long an adjournment. Mr. M. Gamow wished to know whether it was the inten tion of the Government to proceed with the Irish Coercion Bill on Monday ? Sir R. PEEL said he was not prepared to depart from the declaration he had made, of his intention to move the first reading of the Life and Property (Ireland) Bill on Monday next. After the Bill had been read a first time, he should propose that no Government measure should interfere with the progress of the Corn Bill. Mr. M. GIBSON said that it was intended, he understood, to oppose the Irish Coercion Bill in every stage. Sir R. PEEL trusted that Hon. Members would not oppose the first reading, but make their opposition on the second reading, or some other stage of the Bill. Mr. O'CoNwEr. said, that such was the feeling with re spect to the Bill entertained by Irish Members, that they felt bound to oppose the measure at every stage. Sir R. PEEL would persevere in the course he had chalked out, notwithstanding the statements that had been made. Mr. G. BANKES, pursuant to notice, moved for the ap pointment of a Select Committee to take into consideration tie laws relating to the settlement and removal of the poor. Mr. R. SPOONER seconded the motion. Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the motion. When the House went into committee on the Bill it would be competent for the Hon. Gentleman to move such clauses as would accom plish the object he had in view. After some observations from Mr. R. SPOONER, Sir R. PEEL, Mr. Cor,clunous, Sir R. INGLIS, and Colonel Sur- THORP, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. FINCH then resumed the adjourned debate on the Corn Importation Bill. The House was afterwards addressed by Lord RENDLI SHAM, Mr. BORTHWICKE, Mr. C. BULLER, and Lord G. BENTINCK. On the motion of Sir JAMES GruHem, the debate was ad. journed. The remaining orders being disposed of, the House ad. journed at a Quarter past One. At one and the same moment Great Britain and America are placed in an attitude of cpnsiderable social and commercial embarrassment, by the lengthy discus sion of their legislators upon questions the importance of which is scarcely calculable. Nor is this feeling of in security, which shackles every mercantile matter, whether great or small, and which is alone consequent upon the procrastination of their Governments, modi fied in any way by the absolute impossibility of conjecturing the moment when the ques tions at issue will be brought to an adjustment. It is scarcely necessary to observe that their claims upon the Oregon territories, and their proposed alteration of the principles by which international trade has been hitherto conducted, form the two grand subjects of interest, and the two great causes of commercial stagnation both with the English public and the citizens of the United States. Our latest intelligence from New York, brought over by the packet-ship Montezuma, gives us the debate in the Senate of the 27th February, on which day speeches upon the Oregon question were delivered by Mr. WEBSTER and Mr. CRITTENDEN. Nothing could be more pacific, conciliatory, upright, or judicious than the sentiments expressed by these two senators. The transatlantic discussion, in short, upon this singular topic has assumed the colouring of REM BRANDT ; more startling effects chiar' oscuro could not have been devised than have been afforded by the dark and belligerent oratory of Mr. QUINCY ADAMS, and the calm and luminous harangue of Mr. WEBSTER. Still it would be infinitely worse than foolishness—it would be actually culpable—to swallow one or two almost solitary instances of good sense on the part of the more dispassionate among the American statesmen, as indications of the real spirit by which the inhabitants of the United States are actuated towards ourselves. An occasional drop of conciliation is immediately afterwards swamped by perfect torrent of invective. Some few sensible thinkers amongst them are inclined to settle the matter now pending with all judicial quietude and integrity ; the vast majority, however, of their fellow-citizens are furiously bellicose and as fut iously vituperative. We speak thus not upon mere assumptions ; the thing has been proved long since—arbitration has been rejected— an impertinent species of negotiation has been spokes of, but so manifestly absurd as to require no rebuttal— a negotiation coupled with a premise that nothing but a total cessation of the whole of Oregon will be accepted by the American Government! The fact has been long clear that most hostile sentiments towards England are rankling among a certain class across the Atlantic ; a spirit of animosity so intense as to blind that party to the injustice of their conduct, and to render them indifferent to the opinions of other na tions and of posterity. England comes for ward, on the contrary, with no rancorous thoughts of jealousy, with no uadue wishes for aggrandisement ; her propositions for a submittal of the opposite claim:, to an unprejudiced tribunal, have been rejected with the most insolent arrogance, and the most depraved dis regard to common honesty. Beyond a certain limit of aggression, and beyond certain bounds of legislative decency, it is unwise for a nation to permit any foreign power to proceed ;—to say the least of it, such a spirit of tolerance would be impolitic. Great Britain must not, cannot, will not, allow any external authority to proceed beyond those recognised bounda ries without arising to assert her dignity, to defend her honour, and to chastise the belligerents. His tory records such as her invariable behaviour in si miler emergencies; history will record such till her glory is extinguished from the face of the earth. It is doubtless, from a recognition of this fact, that some among the most influential members of the Le gislature of the United States are endeavouring to allay a spirit of animosity so unconscionable, and to bring their countrymen to a better sense of their posi tion, as a civilized and Christian race, by appealing to their reason and to their better hearts. Whether the appeal will be responded to is very questionable indeed. The language of Mr. CRITTENDEN, the Senator for Kentucky, while it is sententious, is honest and humane. He deprecates any heated view o' the question ; he requires candour and cold blood for its consideration. "We should treat this subject," says he, "in a spirit more worthy of our selves." A little effervescence with him is allowable, it i, conceivaole—not to be carped at overmuch. However, it must be allowed to fritter itself away and ultimately —" our decision will be marked by temperance and justice!" Let Mr. QUINCY ADAMS ponder well over the next sentence uttered by Mr. CRITTENDEN; let hits think well on 't," in the words of a time-honoured adage; there is much that is applicable to himself it, its allusion. " They who should involve their country in a needless war," exclaimed the Senator for Kentucky, " will bear responsibility heavy enough to sink a navy, sir t , The mode of expression alone is sufficient to authenticate the announcement; whether Mr. C RITTENDEN was equally justified in his subsequent declaration, that " a great majority of the Senate is anxious, they are all anxious, for peace," a division upon the question could alone have proved; but that division was not required previous to the departure of the Montezuma. We cannot refrain from transcribing the remarks of the Senator for Kentucky upon that arbitration which Mr. FOLK had taken upon himself to refuse : "What a glorious homage" said he, "would this republic render to its own best principles by accepting the arbitration of a tribunal composed of men distinguished only for their talents, knowledge, science, and moral worth. That would tend greatly to the elevation of the age. Neither the steam boat, nor the mighty ship, which with wonderfully con trived machinery ploughs the ocean, defying as it were both wind and wave, is so wonderful in the world of arts and mechanics as in the great progress of science and civilisation would be the spectacle of such a tribunal. And after that great work to have proceeded from the hand of this free Government, from republican hands, how majestic the spectacle! It would have been worth more to the world than all Oregon, if every inch of it would have been given to ns ; and the proud reputation and character that would have resulted from that, would have added to that national honour about which we talk so much, and which is the richest inheritance of nations, a fresh lustre that never would have faded away. It would have been far more valuable than any territory on the north-west coast of America." The address of Mr. WEBSTER was characterised by a calm and philosophic spirit, in which he intimated hi. abhorrence of unnecessary warfare, and thus con densed his ideas upon the delay in the negotiations.—" I wish the country could be rid of the dispute. Take Oregon if you can get it, hut, at all events, settle the question between the two countries fairly and reasonably." It is only by a persistence in these plain-spoken and rational opinions that the ridiculous pugnacity of some among the Americans can be purged away, and that a peaceful settlement of the Oregon claims can be arrived at. Should the diplomacy of the Earl of ABERDEEN and the arguments of a WEBSTER in the end draw the matter to that conclusion, they will have accomplished a great moral victory, 1 A Bill, entitled " Turnpike Roads (Scotland ) Bill," quietly passed throu g h the House of Lo rds, andwas b rou ght to the Com mons on the 19th ofF w t e h b t ru l ary t . F ro m the title of t he Bill one woul d suppose might have refere nce to the great chan g e to be p r oduced on turnpike-road mortgages by the extension of rail ways, or to the mismanagement of the trusts, or the badness of the roads, or, in fact, anything but the real object of the Bill, which is nothing else than to abridge the comforts of the people of Scotland. By an Act passed in the reign of the late KING, justices of the peace were authorised to grant licenses to toll-sate keepers to sell wine, ale, spirits, , and other refreshments and provisions, for the -use of travellers, or. 'the recommendation- of the road trustees, who, convinced of the great con venience and, indeed, necessity of such plac'es of l'efresb meat, were not at all backward in granting recom mendations. This, it appears, hay given offence to ti- , religious feelings of certain parties, and they resolv, , !. therefore, that a Bill should be brought in to prohibit for the future the sale of refreshments at toll-bars. Mr. Fox MAULE had the management of the Bill in the Commons, and urged " the crying evils"—(among others the Gilmerton murder)—" which were proved to have been perpetrated by drunken and dissolute carters, pur chasing intoxicating liquors at the different toll-houses on the Sabbath. But for that he should not have interfered in the matter." Mr. P. MAXWELL STEWART went a little farther, for he seemed to have some personal interest in the matter. " These turnpikes," he said, " were inaccessible to travellers who, like himself and other Hon. Members, were of a sober character, in consequence of the great accumula tion of carriers' carts around the toll-house, the drivers of which were inside drinking the worst kinds o' spirituous liquors." These are certainly most incom prehensible reasons for the Bill in question, for the same events might occur at any public-house, and the vex.) measure proposed would increase the evil by lessening the number of places of refreshment, and thereb3 creating greater crowds at such places of resort. Wt must, therefore, presume that there is some other reason in the back ground, and that the Agnewites are attempting to obtain by false pretences what they cannot obtain in a fair, open, and manly way. If public order is disturbed at these places, have the justices of peace and the magistrates not sufficient power to punish of fences committed there, as well as offences com mitted at a public-house ? There is, in fact, neithei reason nor common sense displayed in making this in road upon the convenience of the public, and it comes with the worst grace, and the worst policy too, from Whig party. In Scotland the Whigs, much more than in England, were looked up to by the common people as their friends and protectors, and these very carters. spoken of so contemptuously by Mr. Fox MAULC: and Mr. P. M. STEWART, would have been the first to appeal to them against the Tory justices ; yet, in this instance, they have allowed the Tories to assume their functions, and protect the poor against the tyranny of their old friends. One amendment proposed by the ex-Under-Secretary for the Home Department, places the matter in a clear light. He moved that no toll-bar house should be licensed, if within five miles of a public-house, so that a weary traveller from the interior of the country, and when expecting to find refreshment on the public road, might have to walk for some three hours longer before he could get a glass of ale and a crust of bread. Why do not these religions men do as they would be done by ? Sir J AMES GRAHAM manfully set his face against this wicked scheme, the LORD-ADVOCATE followed his ex ample, and the Scotch Tory Members, to their credit, sealed its fate. It has recently been remarked in the House of Com mons, that the present age is characterised by its dearth of statesmen. No one can contemplate the politics of the current century without acquiescing in the truth of this observation. Compared with the galaxy of brilliant public men who presided over and guided our national councils towards the close of the past century, we have rind for the last forty years none (CANNING excepted) of the same intellectual stature, either to assume the helm or assist in navigating the vessel of the State. CANNING'S attainment of the highest point of influence in this country was almost coeval with his death. His was felt to be an irreparable loss, and the suddenness of the blow gave a shock to our hopes that vibrated to the very extremi ties of our dominions. The sequel has justified the strength and accuracy of the national sensation that accompanied his descent to the tomb. In a thorough knowledge of the difficulties and dangers of the political ocean he sought to traverse, his mind stood without a competitor. He possessed the experience and the fore sight to predict and mark the coming storm. But, un fortunately, when he would have steered us in safety into the haven of eivil and religious liberty, he was thwarted by his rivals for power, and fell a victim to grief, occasioned by the fierce opposition he had to encounter. As it was long before his accession to the office of Prime Minister, so has it been since his melan choly end, that this country has been without the in appreciab'e advantage of a statesman capable of suffici ently anticipating by legislation the various and nascent wants of our empire. The consequence has been, that the functions properly belonging to the rulers have been assumed by the governed ; and, in lieu of witnessing the elements of discontent destroyed by seasonable acts of the State, we have only beheld a series of graceless concessions, the immediate fruits of wholesale agitation. In this view the most valuable province of the executive—that of taking the initiative in all matters of legislation required by the growing wants of our countrymen, conformably with the new phases continually presented by the deve lopment of our extraordinary end vast resources—has of iate years been altogether usurped. The Duke of WEL• LINGToN proclaimed this fact in his speech of Monday, when he serially enumerated the different concessions we have made to Ireland, all of which have resulted from the force of agitation. But true as this is, does it not convey a great reproach to the political capacity of those who have, from time to time, by the offices they have accepted, undertaken to organize a healthier state of things ? The Duke of WELLINGTON drew the attention of Parliament to the frequent concessions granted of late years to Ireland, and yielded in a way he must have felt reluctant to confess, with the object of deterring the House of Lords from supporting Earl GREY'S address to the Throne But, in order to hare given weight to his counsel in the eyes of the country, his Grace should have shown, if he could, that the matters conceded had not worked well, tr that being bad in themselves, they ought to be re pealed, and that only for the baneful effects of such extorted legislation, the state of Ireland would have been more favourable than what it is known to be. We look in vain, however, for even the shadow of an attempt at such an argument, and are consequently thrown back upon the inference that what has been wrought, albeit in an objectionable• manner, have been so many moves in the right direction, productive of partial, though very inadequate, good to Ireland ; and that had not the people combined and gained for themselves what the Imperial Parliament has at different times been so loth to surrender, it might now have been our lot to deal with consequences far more fearful than those in which we are already in volved. The Duke of WELLINGTON himself advised the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill on the ground that to refuse it might provoke a civil war : his Grace's renowned career in other countries has led him, perhaps more than any other living man, to know that " Civil dissension is a rip'rous worm, That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth." We have a high authority for believing that, had justice not been meted out to the Catholics in 1829, agitation would have plunged us into the horrors of internal discord. The Duke would be the last man to suggest the re-enactment of their civil disabilities. Then, if his own measure was good in itself, and the same can be said of others that have since become the law of the land, does it not put a premium on agitation, and cast a slur upon statesmen living and dead, to re vive the recollection of the instrumentality by which its success was insured? The moral to be read from the circumstances thus forced upon our attention is, that great as are the qualities with which our leading states men are undoubtedly gifted, they have nevertheless been grievously deficient in the chief qualification necessary for the satisfactory discharge of the duties that devolved upon them, by the high positions they haTe alternately occupied, and that if they wish to emulate their cele brated predecessors in office of the past age, they must anticipate, more than they have hitherto done, the elastic desires of the community at large, and, by a fore seeing wisdom, provide the machinery that will give a safe and healthy direction, under any circumstances that may arise, to the untiring energies and exhaustless in dustry of our hardy population. Ireland it is that now presents the field for exemplifying this coveted wisdom. For her relief some active and comprehensive measures are instantly required, and the only way in which m e can hope to see agitation in that country successfully put and end to, is by the most eminent mr nof all parties being animated by the same spirit that governed the con duct of our ancestors whenever they had to grapple with any prominent political evils. We have received Madrid journals of the 19th, from which we learn that the manifesto of the new Cabinet, the suspen sion of the Cortes, and the ordonnance fur destroying the liberty of the press, had created a most painful sensation in the capital. It was currently reported that the proprietors of most of the journals had held a meeting to determine what course they should adopt under the circumstances, and that they had come to the resolution of suspending their publica tion for the present. On this subject the Eco del Comercio says, " It has been announced that the Eco del Comercio, the Espectador, and the Clamor Pubtico, will cease to be pub lished. As far as we are concerned, we shall appear until the Government prevents us." The Universal thus adverts to the new decrees :—" The Ministry has suspended the Cortes without voting the supplies. This is the first step, and also the coup d'etat—the first re-actionary measure. This will of course be followed up by other similar acts, and in a short time Spain will find itself under the yoke of a Dictatorship as stupid as that of Ross, and as vialent as that of SANTA ANNA: . But NAAVAEZ still finds supprters among the, tightin:! On th , .. 19th the Captain-General of Madrid, t!it iosp , :aues of the army and navy, a great number of vqticers of all ranks, and all the officers of the garrison, srukt' W.,r-office to present their congratulations to General ;A itVAEZ. The Bourse',was closed on the 19th, in consequence the feat of :-;t. JusEF, but several private bargains were made at higher prices. Most of the Paris papers of Wednesday contain articles on the late extraordinary events which have taken place at Nladrid, and unanimously denounce the conduct of the Dic tator. The Constitutionnel infers that these violent measures have not been taken without the tacit consent of France. "General NARVAEZ," it says, "was the natural instrument of the Palace conspiracy. We fear that the representative of France was aware of it from the beginning, and that he rather seconded than arrested the movement which was in preparation. For a long time the Parliamentary men of Spain complained of the intimacy existing between our Am bassador and General NARVAEZ, and of his leaning towards the theories of arbitrary power in Spain. Many persons have been struck in France with the manner in which our Ministry was made acquainted with the retreat of the Spa nish Cabinet and the accession of NARVAEZ several days before the fact had taken place." The Presse, considered the organ of Queen CHRISTI,NA, after condemning, in strong terms, the coup d'etat, thus draws the character of • BALBOA, appointed political chief of Madrid:— " This man, General Balboa, has passed before a council of war accused of more than 80 crimes, for each of which he was deemed worthy of death. We shall mention only two. Sent to La Mancha, at the period when Palillos was devas tating that province, he had arrested in a mass all the persons suspected of Carlism and all the relations of the persons serving in the army of the pretender. The prisons were encumbered. One day he gave orders that lots should be cast for the prisoners to be first shot Among those o■ whom the lot fell was a little child five years of age. The officer in command informed Generel Balboa of the matter, adding that he supposed it was toot his intention to shoot a child of that age. 'lf he is not shot in two hours it is you that shall be shot in his place,' was the reply of the General. An hour after the child carne out of prison. To bring him before the platoon charged with the execution an orange was thrown, and it was whilst pursuing it that the child fell pierced with four bullets. Another day, General Balboa had a woman shot who was more than eight months gone with child. An accoucheur was present, with orders to save the child when its mother was dead. A servant of the General, a negro freed at the Havannah, publicly made the following declara tion I do not recoil at a small matter : I have eaten human flesh ! but I declare that it was impossible for me to endure any longer the horrors committed by my master.' Such is the man who has just been nominated Prefect of Madrid. The most dreadful events may be expected, the Ministry standing alone against all parties." Even the Univers, the organ of the High Church party, though NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA, are bent on reconciling the Spanish Church to Rome and restoring the clergy to their former power, cannot reconcile itself to this " opera tor of coups &fiat, who places virtue in his sword and and nothing else." The accounts received from Poland are of a melancholy character. The Russian Government had commenced the work of punishment in the most fearful manner. Several leaders of the insurrection at Siedlee had been tried by a court-martial, condemned, and executed. The Uniceraat Prussian Gazette publishes the following account taken from the Warsaw Courier, but it gives no date : " The undermentioned is the result of the investigation set on foot owing to the events at Siedlee, and the arrests of various persons : 1. That a conspiracy took place with ramifications in the Polish provinces. " 2. That the head of the conspiracy, Bronislas Dombrow ski, sent from Posen, was chosen leader of the conspiracy on the right bank of the Vistula. " 3. That the principal abettors were Pantaldon Po toski, Stanislas Koeischewski, Ladislas Zarski, Jean Lytinski, Michel Alirezki, and Anthony Deskur. The agents and accomplices. of Dombrowski were Stephen Dobrytsch and Charles Ruprecht. All these indivi duals, brought before a council of war, have been found guilty of rebellion and sedition. According to the powers intrusted by his Majesty the Emperor, the Prince-Governor, after sentence of death was pronounced, has ordered Potozki, Koeischewski, and Zarski to be hung, the first at Siedlee, the other two at Warsaw. As regards Dobritch and Ruprecht. their sentence is to be commuted on the scaffold to banishment to Siberia, with a loss of all their rights, Mirezki and Deskur are deprived of all their rights, and share the same fate as Dobritsch and Ruprecht. Lytinski, who showed a true repentance, is equally banished to Sibe ria, with the loss of all his rights, after receiving 500 stripes. The law to enter into full force, as regards the confiscation of their property, according to Art. 178, book Ist of the mili tary criminal code. As regards any property falling to them by inheritance it will be judged according to Polish law. This sentence was fulfilled the following day at ten A. 31., in front of the citadel, with the exception of Potozki." The official Gazette of Vienna contains the following de cree of the EMPEROR, pronounced against the family of Prince Czair - rortism, now residing at Paris :—" The EMPEROR hav ing learned that the Prince CZARTORISKI had declared to a deputation of Poles in Paris that he approved of the insur rection in Poland, has ordered the Aulic Council to prohibit the Prince CZAKTORISKI, the Princess, and their descendants, from disposing of any property, landed or personal, they may possess in the Austrian States, or receiving any revenue arising therefrom, until further orders."

For the convenience of those who take an interest in the deeds of our gallant troops, and their equally gallant auxiliaries hi India, we publish this day a sketch of the country on the banks of the Sutlej, now rendered famous by three great victories. It has been laid down by Mr. Wyld, cf Charing-cross, so well known for his skill and accuracy as a geographer, who has devoted much attention to the subject, and spared no pains in ascertaining the localities of the principal towns and villages mentioned in the Government dis patches. It will be found extremely useful in reading the accounts of the late battles, as well as those which we fear are yet to take place. HOUSE OF LORDS -(THIS DAY.) Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell sat in the house of Lords to-day to hear Scotch appeals. THE EARL OF HOPETOUN V. RAMSEY. The arguments in this appeal, which were not finished yesterday, were resumed and concluded to-day. Their LotipsruPs gave judgment affirming the decision of the Court below. TUE RF:V. DR. WM : JACK V. SIR THOMAS BURNETT. The appellants in this case are the Principal, and the dif ferent Fellows and Professors of the University of King's College, Aberdeen, and the object of the appeal is to set aside a judgment of the Court of Session, whereby it was declared that the appellants were bound to administer and apply the whole rents and revenus of certain lands left by an ancestor of the respondents for the support of three burners in King's College, Aberdeen. Mr. James Parker and Mr. APPlierson were counsel for the appellants, and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Bethell were in support of the judgment of the Court below. The arguments occupied their Lordships the whole morning. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULIWILN.) IN RE METCALFE. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a builder, came up to pass his last examination. The report of the official assignee showed that, in the year 1844, the bankrupt compounded with some of his creditors, leaving debts to the amount of 480 t., since which time he had incurred additional debts to nearly 1,0001. He had not kept regular books, and all the creditors had to furnish their own accounts. He had kept a list of debtors, but only one was good. The COMMISSIONER desired the bankrupt to be sworn. The bankrupt declined, on conscientious scruples, as he alleged. The CO3IMISSIONP:R then ordered him to make the declara tion under Lord Denman's Act, and warned him, that if he spoke falsely, he was liable to be indicted for perjury. The bankrupt's examination did not clear up the mystifica tion of the accounts. The COMMISSIONER said he should adjourn the examina tion sine die, for the accounts had been wilfully made out falsely ; and directed a minute to that effect to be entered on the proceedings. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAmEs.) LOWRY V. 31‘KENZIE. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 61.185., for wine and spirits sold to defendant, who is a gentleman, residing in Suffolk-place, Pall-mall. The defendant pleaded the general issue. The only point in the case was whether defendant was indebted to plaintiff, or a person named L'yer, who was his traveller. It appeared that Dyer kept an ale and stout store, in Duke-street, St. James's, and supplied the defendant ; but he was not licensed to sell wines, although the defendant ordered them Of him. Dyer, it appeared, handed over the order to the plaintiff, who sent it in, with an invoice made out, tD the defendan'. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. This was the only case set down for hearing. THE LATE MR. LounoN.—We are happy to learn that a pension for life of 1001. per annum has been granted by her Majesty to Mrs. Loudon. Sir Itotert l'eel has just communicated to Mrs. Loudon this act of beneficence. To her it will be doubly grate ful, as it i conferred in consideration of her deceased husband's labours and writings on subjects of natural science. THE PEERS AND FREE TRADE.—A meeting of Peers, very numerously attended, took place on Wednesday, at the Clarendon Hotel, at which it was unanimously resolved to op pose, by every constitutional means, the progress of the Government free trade measures in the house of Lords.—Post. ILLUIVINATION.—O n the occasion of his Royal High ness Prince George of Cambridge's birth-day, Mr. Turner, goldsmith and jeweller, had a magnificent star of Brunswick, with the imperial crown. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT BETHNAL• GREEN.- Yesterday Mr. Baker held Lit inquiry at the Hare Tavern, Cam bridge Heath-road, on the body of Airs. Rebecca Zabel, who, it was alleged, had died in consequence of ill-treatment by her husband, when, after a protracted investigation, the jury returned a verdict of died from natural causes. WONDERFUL ESCAPE.—On Wednesday morning, about noon, as a lad, named Benjamin Goodwin, twelve years of age, • an apprentice to a law stationer near Chancery-lane, was returning from Parliament-street, Westminster, he got up behind a cal*, and rode. On arriving opposite Agar-street he alighted, and was cross ing the Strand, when he was knocked down by a Blackwall omnibus, and the fore-wheel of the vehicle completely passed over his body between the shoulders and waist. Ile was at once conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, when it was discovered, to the astonishment of the medical gentlemen who attended him, that not a bone in his body was broken, and that he hall sustained only a momentary sus pension of his faculties. His escape from instant death is extraordi nary, more particularly so when it Is known that the omnibus was at the time filled with passengers.

At the time he purchased it be was the holder of a very beneficial lease, which would have cost the land lord 700/. or 8001. to have gut up. The proposed embankment would reduce the property to one-third of its present value. The effect of the Greenwich !Railway at Bermondsey has been, to depreciate the value of the property at the end of Bermondsey-street to one half. HOUSE OF LORDS, Committee 1.0. 5 the ( ommittee met this murillui„:, Lord Selkirk chainrimi 132,XSTri GaZa.ir N.7si I7,I;I73EIR.IN—MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN. Lord Sumaits said the Committee had decided on reporting to the House that Bills should be passed for the construction of a line from Portarlington to Galway, and a line from Mullingar to Athlone, strongly recommending a junction of the two lines at Athlone. Sergeant Witallonaii, on the part of the Mullingar Company, re quested their Lordships to introduce clauses into both Bills which would secure the junction they had recommended. Mr. TALEOT oppo.ed this, if it meant a fusion of the two Com panies; but if it had no other object than to secure the layit g down of rails between the two lines he had no business to interfere with the wishes of the other Company ; he would, however, object to being compelled to come to Parliament next session, merely be cause the other Company wished to construct that junction. Sergeant WRANGHAM said he would submit such a clause as would secure the objects of the Committee in the course of the day. THE " TIMES " REPORT. Sergeant WRAtiouerd then saidihe felt it necessary to obsetere before their Lordships, on the inaccuracy of a report of yesterday's pro ceedings in that Committee, by which a Member of the other House of Parliament felt his character was seriously affected. Their Lordships would recollect that Mr. Blakeney, a solicitor, was examined yesterday, and that some of his statements referred to Mr. Blake, M.P. In reference to that, the Time,' report had the follewiug paragraph : "An important fact came out on the cross-examniation of Mr. Blakeney, a solicitor, who gave strong evidence in support of the Mullingar line. He said that his name was down for 100,0001. to the deed, but he had not a share in the line, and he merely acted as the agent of Mr. Blake, M.P. for Galway. It was proved yesterday, with a reference to this part of the case, that Mr. Watson was down as a subscriber for 10,0001., and had not paid any d-posit money." Now, the facts which came before their Lordships yesterday were these—that Mr. Blake had sent to his solicitor, Mr. Blakeney, to purchase 10,0001. worth of shares in the Mullingar line, and sent the money; but Mr. Watson's case, which was very different, was put by the reporter:of the Times in such apposition with Mr. Blake's as to imply a very serious imputation on his character, and that he had been speculating to the amount of 100,0001. It was enough for him (Sergeant Wrangham) to observe upon the mistake before their Lordships. _ _ Lord gELKISIE said the Committee had the most distinct recollection of the facts put in evidence yesterday, which were as the Learned Sergeant had represented them ; but he (Lord Selkirk) could not wonder at errors being made by the reporters when such a noise was created in the room. Ills Lordship ought to have added "especially as no accommoda tion whatever had been provided for the public press." In fact, the reporter must stand, aid stand in a crowd of impatient clients, huddled and jostled about so as to be effectually prevented from writing while the evidence is being given. If he report it must be from memory, and to do that with perfect accuracy, in the case of details, is next to impossible. The Committee adjourned till a late hour in the day, that counsel might have an opportunity of consulting on certain clauses in both Bills, which will then be read and passed, with a view to their being reported to the House to-night. No. 9 Room. This Committee commenced its sittings this morning at the cue. tomary hour. THE DUBLIN, DOWN, AND CALLANDRA RAILWAY, THE INVERNESS AND ELGIN RAILWAY, THE SURREY GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY, and THE ICOTTISH SOUTHERN TERMINAL RAILWAY, were allowed to be proceeded with. The Committee on THE DUBLIN AND ENNISKILLEN. . _ met to-day in the Roll? Court. The promoters of the Irish North Midland Railway, as a corn. peting company, opposed the Bill. Mr: Sergeant MUiLPHY appeared for the promoters of the Bill, and briefly stated their case, from which it appeared that the line would be strictly a line from the city of Dublin to Enniskillen. If their Lordships would look to the map they would find that the line started at Colinisillagia, that it would afford railway accommodation to the important town of Navan, which fact he submitted was a most prominet feature of recommendation in behalf of this line, in preference to the scheme of the competing companies. It would also connect the town of Trim with the county town of Meath. It then proceeded to the town of Kells, and went on to a town called Vir ginia, and thence to Cavan, till it joined the line of the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway Company, and from Newry it proceeded to the town of Enniskillen. The line of the Irish North Midland Com panies on the other hand started at Kllcock, 22 miles from Dublin, being the point where the Mullingar line started. It then proceeded to the town of Trim, and from Trim to the town of Kells. It then ran to Virginia, and thence to Cavan. It then deflected a little to the west, and crossed (as he understood) the waters of Lough Erne three times, until it reached ajuncticn with the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, and so proceeded to Enniskillen. Their Lordships would, therefore, see by the frame of the map that the line of this Company was far more direct than the project of the Irish North Midland Company. The fact of there being two competieg lines showed that some one line was necessary. He would, there fore, call their Lordships' attention to the prominent feature in be half of this Company—viz., that of there being a line of railway already from Dublin to Drogheda, which was thirty two miles in length, and had been in operation for the last two years. A Bill had been obtained for the purpose of enabling the directors of Ord line to continue it so as io connect the important bays of Newry, Dundalk, and Carlingford. He was ex ceedingly glad that their Lordships had so far agreed with him as to reject upon discussion the petitions which came from those dif ferent lines which were presented to their Lordships that day; and he also rejoiced at the contest which had taken place between him self and his learned friends, because it enabled him to show their Lordships the animus in which the contest on behalf of the opposing scheme was to be carried on. The promoters of the line were about to carry out that principle of forming a great central trunk of railway for the north of Ireland, a principle that had so much received the sanction of the Legislature during the last session. lie would ask their Lordships whether they could not infer, from the petitions that lay before them against this line, that the ground of the opposition was merely to annoy this Company ? And he would ask their Lord ships, whether it was not fair to infer that, even if the Le gislature sanctioned the scheme of the opponents, they would not fail to make their proposed line ? Judging from the nature of the petitions and statements of the North Midland Company, he should say that it would be incompatible with the in terests of the north of Ireland to grant them power to construct their line. The promoters of this Bill proposed to give a direct communi cation to the town of Navan with the City othublin, whilst the line of the opponents would be a most circuitous one—being in fact about eleven miles longer than that of this Company. They also proposed to give a direct communication between all the important towns of the north of Ireland. They had no engineering difficulties of any extent—they had only a small tunnel near the town of Cavan; their gradients were most favourable, in point of fact their deepest gradient was 1 in 104, and their sharpest curve was 2 furlongs and 2 chains, which their Lordships would see was by no means a sharp curve. Mr. Winter, a magistrate of the counties of Cavan and Meath, was then called in support of the promoters' case, and stated that the feelings of the inhabitants of those districts were universally in favour of the Dublin and Enniskillen, in preference to the project of the Irish North Midland Company. He believed that it would give ample accommodation for the traffic, and passengers having business between Dublin and Enniskillen. Re-examined Under any circumstances the line would be an injury to the property. Mr. Porter, an architect and surveyor—The land belonging to Mr. Morby is good building land. It is surrounded with roads, and wit ness knows that buildings are rapidly increasing in the neighbour hood. The railway would entirely unfit the land for the purpose tbr which it is intended—viz., for building villas. Mr. Irwin, a surveyor, stated that be is engaged in connexion with the estates adjoining Mr. Morby's land. It is very de , irable build ing ground. A railway passing through the land would destroy its value. Cr ILO UP XY 1 . EPSOM BRANCH. The Committee. including every member as usual, Sir C. Douglas, chairman, Lord Pollington, Mr. Lockhart, the Hon. 0. Duncembe, and Mr. Blewitt, assembled at twelve o'clock to-day, when Mr. Stovin, manager of the traffic en the South-Western line was called to show the tr% file, and stated that the returns expected to be derived would be 8,3801., which, less 40 per cent. for working ex penses, would leave a rough estimate of profit of 5,0001. a-year on the branch. On the cross-examination by Mr. ALEXANDER, nothing was elicited to shake the testimony of this witness on this point. On re-examination by ➢lr. HILDYARD, Mr. Stovin could not affirm that the number of passengers between Croydon and Epsom was 572,668, but it was a large figure, and certainly more than he con sidered to be the passenger traffic between the latter place and London. John Blewitt, a witness, replied that the .charge of 2%d. per mile was a high one, but Mr. Hildyard, Q.C., showed that the charge was of course in the power of the Company. Mr. Locke, the engineer, stated, on the examination of Mr. HILL, Q. C., that the line began at the 7th milestone of the South-Western main line, went through Maldon and Ewell, and thence to Epsom. At these places and at both the termini there would be stations ; but the Company would be quite ready to put stations wherever they were required by the wishes or convenience of the inhabitants. The Epsom station would be 12 miles from Vauxhall and 1.4% from Waterloo bridge. The Company had a Bill before Parliament for an extension to London-bridge, which would make the distance to that station something more than 15 miles. He was not a farmer, but he was led to believe that this railway, which passed through au agricultural district, would be certainly instrumental in improving the quality of the land. The direction of the railway would be extremely usefill to the public, who could not be served by: the South-Western Railway, and as the Company intended to have a station at Battersea, there would be a great con venience to those who resided about the terminus of the Great Western line. As it was intended to have another station for the west, there would be the accommodation previously alluded to with the Birmingham district. In his belief the advantages offered by this branch to the carriage of live stock and minerals, were far superior in the facilities of the termini. Other advantages were also offered in the easiness of the gradients, the shortness of the line, and the rapidity of the transit.—[Mr. Locke here put in a comparative sec tion of both lines.] The estimate for the works was 90,0001., which included a surplusage for contingencies of 11,3001. That was for a double line of rail. The smallest radius was thirty-six chains, one being at each end of the line, the rest being nearly straight. The works might be completed Within twelve months, and he would pledge his professional reputation on keeping his promise. With respect to minerals, he was convinced that, generally speaking, they could not be conveyed by the atmospheric appliance, and he felt assured, after using every endeavour to get at the truth, that the atmospheric apparatus never can compete with locomotives, his im pression being that the interest on the first outlay for an atmos pheric railway would pay all the expense of locomotive power. That was his impression from the first, and he had seen no reason to change the opinion; on the contrary, he was more confirmed in it. The annual expense of locomotive power was 10d. a mile, which was a gradual reduction of Id. per mile. Two years ago it was Is., and in mineral districts the expense of locomotive power was as low as Bd. After some interruption from Mr. ALEXANDER, who conceived that the examination was here out of the rules of evidence, it was decided that Mr. Locke should proceed. On further question, the witness proceeded to say that, from the testimony of a person who had been sent to the Croydon line, and from whose information he borrowed, that for wages and fuel alone, on the 5 miles now in operation on the asmospheric principle, the cost amounted to 21. 10s. per mile, which was three times that of the loco motive power. This included nothing for leakage, grease, repairs, or any other of the incidental expenses. At this point the room was cleared, and on the re-admission of the public, • Sir C. DOUGLAS stated that the Committee had decided that the principle of atmospheric traction should not be entered into. To kr. ALEXANDEVS cross-examination, Mr. Locke replied, that the cost for land of 10,6721. was included in the gross estimate. At present the real estimate for the gross returns of the line was 10,4001., the working expenses 4,7001., leaving a profit of 6,0001. • the line was shorter and more direct than the line of 1844, and the in crease of the estimates of returns arose from the increase of traffic. Indeed so had the business fipened that the facilities of the South- Western Company for the public were about to be very largely de veloped, so that there were to be four lines of rail laid down to Hungerford, and double accommodation was to be given to the junc tion with the Richmond branch at Battersea. To the CHAIRMAN—Mr. Locke replied, that he believed that if there were no other traffic than that of the race week alone itwould remu nerate for the outlay required for the construction of the railway, and he thought it was a great hardship that the inhabitants of the district had not sooner had a western terminus. There-were no engineering difficulties, tunrwls, or other impediment whatever. GEO P XXI. LONDON AND OXFORD. The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour. The promoters proceeded to call evidence in support of the Bill. Mr. Grace, a large farmer at Wardrobe, and nine miles from Wy combe, on Lord Harry Vane's estate, spoke to the disadvantages under which he and others laboured on account of the expense of tran sit to Uxbridge market, and the want of direct communication to London and Oxford. On account of thlr expense he was compelled to sell his produce in the Wycombe and Aylesbury markets at consi derable disadvantne, as Uxbridge was the best corn-market. The railway would greatly reduce the expense of carriage to and from London, would enhance the beech trade, improve the value of the property in the districts through which it would pass, and be of general advantage to the. inhabitants. In his own case, he should save 7s. per acre ; others ss. per acre, or 25 per cent. on their rents. Scuds 400 head of cattli of all kinds to London, at consider able expense, and with great injury to the animals, which he should be able to avoid if the proposed railway were made. Mr. John Clayton Morris was next called, and stated that he was a poor-law valuator for the district of Cavan, having • uperintendence to that respect over 210,00) acres. A vast number of coaches plied between Cavan and Dublin, and this line would afford railway ac commodation to the counties of Derry, Tyrone, Donnegal, West Meath, Cavan, Fermanagh, and Meath, as well as more direct com munication between other districts and the city of Dublin. This line was far more preferable than the competing scheme. . . Mr. J. Guy, farmer, at Austin-Rowen, Northington, Oxfordshire, said he was a tenant of Sir H Lambert. That he was fourteen miles from the Great Western Railway, and that he had lost 1001. a year since its construction. lie had to send to Henley-en-Thames, four teen miles distant, for manure. Neither the " spur" of the Great Western from Maidenhead to Wycombe, nor the Uxbridge branch, would be of much advantag3 to him. The proposed line would en able him to attend the London, Oxford, and Uxbridge markets more frequently than he now did; and, besides, it would increase the ♦alue of preperty contiguous to it ss. per acre. Their Lordships' Committee on the Dublin, Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, Sandymount, Euniskerry, and Carlow lines and branches met to-day, at eleven o'clock. Present, I ord Auckland, Chairman; Lord Kinnaird, Lord Sydney, Lord Rossie, and Lord Colville. The expected business of this morning was to go into the case of Lord Palmerston in opposition to the Waterford and Dublin line. But it was understood, that his Lordship's opposition was withdrawn. The opposition of Mr. Reid, which was to be entertained on Mon day, has (it is understood) been also withdrawn. _ . . , _ ......-.-..... The preambles of ,all the Bills were proved, and their Lordships adjourned to eleven o'clock on Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP IX. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Lord Worsley In the chair. All the Members of the Committee present. WEST OP SCOTLAND VNCTXON. - - Mr. Miller, civil engineer, called, and cress-examined in continua tion from yesterday. He had an alternative plan for crossing the Clyde, if the Admiralty objected to the crossing of the river below the present bridge. It was to cress the present bridge at an elevation above the footpath, so as not to interfere with the general traffic of the bridge. The piers of the bridge were quite strong enough to bear the extra weight, as it was one of the best structures in Scotland. This alteration would make the crossings of the streets worse, and interfere more with the street traffic than the other plan. The streets would also have to be crossed more in the skew, and the spans would be almost impracticable in two instances, being 220 feet each. In the tunnel north ofßlythswood Holm there was a gradient of one in ninety, with a curve of thirteen chains radius. The junction with the main line was to be in tunnel, with a gradient of forty-two on the latter. He was satisfied the estimates were quite ample enough. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. FORSYTH, on the part of the Glasgow and Greenock Railway, with the object of showing that the southern portion of the scheme would take away the Greenock line passenger station and the goods depot, and would interfere with the proper working of their line. Witness admitted that a portion of the passenger station would be gone through and the goods depot touched, but he did not apprehend any. inconvenience ; and new accommodation would be provided, without much interference with the ordinary traffic. GROUP XII. rni . GLASGOW AND WEST OP SCOTLAND DISTRICT. The Committee sat at twelve o'clock, in the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. V. Smith chairman. GIAILSGO XXX,M.ARNOCK, AND ARDROSSAZT. Mr. Neil Robson, C.E., cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT, Q.a.— The steepest gradient was 1 In 75, the sharpest curve six furlongs. He had had nothing to do with the Glasgow and Belfast Union, although his name was in the prospectus. He proposed to have an assistant power on the gradient of 1 in 75 when the weight of train required it. The Glasgow and Ayr line had more favourable gra dients and curves. The witness was then examined as to the com parative lengths of the Glasgow aad Ayr, and the Glasgow, Kil marnock, and Ardrossan Railways from different points of the dis trict. The result was in favour of the line under consideration. Mr. Erriugton, civil engineer, thought the line to Kilmarnock judiciously laid out. The gradient of lin 75 was not now an objec tionable one. He considered that it would be a public advantage if some portion of the traffic oa the Glasgow and Ayr lines were re moved, as they at present inadequately accommodated the public. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—If a gradient of 1 in 75 could be avoided it would be advisable to do so. Mr. T. T. Mitchell proved that minerals were taken on much steeper gradients than on this lin& or the Slamannan Railway, at the rate of from 15 to 20 miles an hour. Mr. Ferguson corroborated the evidence of Mr. Williamson as to the value of the minerals in the districts. Mr. TALBOT then addressed the Committee against the project. He contended that no necessity had been shown for the construction of thi aline. It had been proved to the satisfaction, he trusted, of the Committee, that they had done full justice to the public since the period when they had received their powers from Parliament. They had done more than was required from them, for they encouraged and constructed branches as much with the view of accommodating the country as of protecting themselves. They presented a most favourable parallel to the L9ndoa and Birmingham and other rail ways, inasmuch as they give the same advantages to the poor as to tile rich, running third-class trains at the same speed as the first and second classes. They were willing still further to construct branches where a necessity could be shown for such ; and, in fact, the Committee would find that they had had a Bill be fore Parliament to accommodate this very country, but unfortunately the non-fulfilment of some technicality had thrown it out before the Standing Orders' Committee. But were they to pass this scheme be cause it was the only one before them, when they were told that a better line would be brought forward in the next session. He trusted the Committee would .defer any decision until they had these lines toge ther. The Learned Counsel then adverted to what were, he con tended, radical errors in the schemes. This scheme was to be leased to the Greenock Company, and it was in contemplation to amalga mate the Company with the Caledonian. He hoped the Committee would hesitate before they by any sanction of theirs encouraged a system which could not be otherwise than injurious to the interests of the public. GROUP XIV. NORTH SENT. The Committee met at twelve o'clock. Mr. Bacox, who appeared in support of a petition presented ageing the proposed line by Mr. Hyde, a ;landowner residing at Fevershani, called Mr. Wilkes, who proved the damage that would be dote to Air. Hyde's property. The ine would cut off eernmunication from the game preserves, and would also be seen from the house. By Sir W. ltinDEL—Kt.ows the course of the South-Eastent line. That would also affect Mr. Hyde's property, and could be seen from the house. The Learned Counsel having briefly addressed the Committee, Mr. SELWYN proceeded to make somc observations in support of a petition presented against the line by Mr. Morby. Ile stated that the .7 etitioner possessed about twelve acres of laud at Hatcham. He had invested the whole savings of an industrious life in the purchase of this land, in the hope that by its gradual improvement it would be a provision for himself in his declining years, and also for his large family, nearly all of whom, from imbecility of mind, were unable to support themselves., The line would s o a ff ect that land, and also all the laud in the vicinity, that it would be aflutter of impossibility to let it. Mr. Sergeant Waationsm, on the part of the promoters, said that the present case came upon them rather unexpectedly ; but lie was quite ready to agree that the land should be surveyed by any re respectable party, and that without a mere reference to the value of the land, but having regard to the whole of it as a good property, the company should pay its full value. Some discussion then ensued as to whether the whole question should be left to the consideration of an arbitrator, Mr. Selwyn de cidod on proceeding with the ease, and called Mr. Drew, a solicitor, who stated that he was well acquainted with Mr. Morby's property, AdvisW•Mr. Morby to purchase it, WI Sub-Cornmitte No. 2. This Committee assembled to-day at twelve o'clock ; present, Sir Sir J. Y. Buller (chairman), Mr. Kemble, and Mr. Walker. LEEDS AND THIRSK RAILWAY. The evidence which was nit forthcoming on Wednesday was pro duced, and the Conunittee found that the standing orders were com plied with. , _ BRITISH AND IRISH UNION RAILWAY. The consideration of the allegations in the petition against this Bill was resumed. The following (among several other) allegations were admitted— namely, that there was an error in theDumtries plan at one furlong; that the furlongs were omitted from the same plan, as well as the furlongs on the Wigtown branch; that the road 65 was omitted ; that the height and span of the arches at Stranraer were not marked, &c. The petition then alleged that on the Gretna Extension branch a public road was set forth on the plans as being 14 feet above the height, whereas on the sections the same was marked 13 feet. This allegation was sustained. An error in the cross sections was next alleged and sustained. Two allegations, the first that there was an omission of the cut ting at the 74th mile Ist thriong, and the next, that there was a similar omission with respect to an embankment, were sustained. It was alleged that, on the 58th mile, No. 10, in the parish of Crossrnichael, where the railway crossed the turnpike, there was an inaccuracy in the plan. Mr. Thompson, an assistant engineer, said that he had levelled the part of the line in question, and found an error on the plan of 12 feet 6 inches. Mr. White, :assistant engineer, corroborated the testimony of the preceding witness. Mr. Baker gave similar evidence. The Committee found that this allegation was sustained. The next class of allegations had reference to discrepancies be tween' the plans in the Private Bill-office and those deposited at Durnfiies. Several allegations were abandoned, and some were admitted. Sub-Committee No 4, This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock in Room No. 11 ; present Sir William Heathcote (chairman), Mr. Legh, and Mr. Hope Johnstone, and resumed the consideration of the WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. Mr. THOMAS, for the promoters, put in a letter from Mr. Thomas Scott, of Hokeham, a petitioner against the line, which the Learned Gentleman submitted was in fact a revocation of the petition. After hearing Mr. PRITT, who contended that the latter was not a sufficient revocation, The Committee decided to proceed with the allegations of the petitioner. The first allegation, that the property of the petitioner being within the limits of deviation was not Set forth in the book of refer ence, was sustained. Sub• Committee No. 5, This Committee re-assembled at the a:nalhour, when the follow. ing Members were present:—Mr. Home Drummond (chairman), Mr. l'acke, Mr. Egerton, and Mr. Mackenzie. THETFORD, BURY T. EDMUNDS, AND NEW3IARKET. A petition. that of seviTal owners and occupiers Lof land on the line, the allegations of which were more numerous than interesting to the public, was disposed of in about an hour. ...,.... The next petition taken was that of John Baker and others, owners, occupiers, and lessees of land which would be taken by the proposed line. __ One of the allegations was, that two fields marked as No. 1 and No. 5, in the parish of Ingham, were in fact in the pariah of Tim worth, adjoining the parish of Ingham.. , A witness was called to prove that the fields in question were in the parish of Timworth. The allegation was partly answered by the agent for the promoters pointing out the fact that the figure 5 was not a mark applying to the field, but that it was part of the mileage, and represented "five furlongs." A witness was then called to prove that the other field was pro perly marked. . The Committee decided that the allegation was proved in reference to the field marked No. 1. It was next alleged that the boundary between the parish of Ingham and the adjoining parish of Cowford was incorrectly marked. The owner of some property in the parishes of Ingham and Cow ford, one of the petitioners, was called to prove the inaccuracy of the boundary as marked in the plans. A surveyor was called on the part of the promoters of the Bill to prove that he applied to the last witness fer information as to the boundary of the two parishes, which lie refused to give. He had also applied to the parish clerk and to several other persons, but re ceiving no answer from any of them, was obliged to rely on the in formation given him by the labourers in the fields. The Committee declared the allegation proved and the standing orders not complied with. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships resumed their labours at the usual hour. Present, the Earl of Shaftesbury (in the chair), and Lords Redesdale, Hood, and Hawarden. BANDON AND BANTRY. In this case their Lordships decided that the preamble of the Bil had been proved, and that they would report it to the House and set it down for a third reading. MALLOW AND FERMOY. This Is a line to foTtriiiedreat Southern and Western at Mallow, connecting Fermoy with Mallow. The length of the line is nineteen miles, and the estimated cost is 150,0001. Solicitors to the line, Sir Mathew Barringten, Son, and Co.; engineer, Mr. W. Tracey Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Burke and Co. _ _ _ The Committee decided that the preamble of the Bill had been proved, and that they would report it to the House, and set it down for a third reading. MOUNTMELLICK JUNCTION RAILWAY. This line is an extension of the Great Southern and Western to Mountmelllck, a town which is very important from the quantity of traffic passing through it. The length of the line is only three miles and three quarters, and the capital of the Company is 22,5001. En gineer, Mr. Hogan; solicitors, Sir Mathew Barrington, Son, and Co. The Committee decided that in this case also the preamble of the Bill had been proved, and that it should be reported to the House, and set down for a third readleg. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sub-Committee, No. 3. This Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour. Pre sent— Mr. Aglionby (Chairman), Mr. Edward Buiwer, Mr. Aldam, Mr. Broadley, and Mr. Thornely. WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY. The consideration of the allegations of a petition, which was part gene into on Wednesday last, was resumed this morning. After dis posing of the omissions, &e., which were of no interest, they pro ceeded to consider the allegation of an error of three feet and a de cimal of •6& in describing the height of the proposed line above a canal. It appeared that the height mentioned in the plans was 149, whereas it should have been 152 and a decimal '66. ➢[r. VENABLES said that the promoters ware prepared to meet the error, Tip Committee accordingly reported non-cempllance. We understand that Mr. Rowland Hill has resigned the chair of the London and itrightOn Railway Company, and is suc ceeded by Mr. Pasco Crenfell. Mr. Hill's resignation is caused by ill health, which renders him unequal to the arduous duties of chair man. He will continue to be a director —.St Viton, Gaz,le.
