The Earl of LINCOLN last night brought forward three Bills founded on the recommendations con tained in the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the occupation of land in Ireland, of which notice had been given. The manner in which these measures were received by the House fully jus tified the pleasing anticipations of the Noble Lord, viz., that whatever difference of opinion there might here after be as to their provisions, every one in the House would be united—no feelings of party animosity would be excited, or any rivalry, except of a generous and kindly nature, as to which would give the most effec tual aid towards the common object—that of im proving the condition of the people of Ireland by increasing and improving the cultivation of the soil, and giving to the tenants that security in their investments in the land without which it was hopeless to expect that the soil would be pro perly cultivated, or its improvement otherwise than retarded. The report of Lord DEVON'S Commission Wag presented to the House in the month of February, 1845, and much anxiety was felt in all quarters for the introduction of some measure s calcu lated to give effect to the recommendations, or at least some of them, contained therein. It was felt to be a subject of the most paramount importance, as through it alone the most fertile source of dissension in that country could be removed, and peace and tranquillity permanently restored in our sister kingdom ; for, whatever temporary improvement might be attained, it was impossible to hope for its continuance unless the exciting cause of disturbance—that which prevented substantial im provement throughout the country, and consequent prosperity to the owners and occupiers of the soil, and an increased degree of employment to the laborious classes were removed—that want of employ ment, as Mr. NicaoLLs well said, having produced destitution ; destitution, turbulence; turbulence, want of security; want of security, want of capital, and again, want of capital, want of employment. Remove any of ' these, and by a natural consequence, you will have gone a far way in removing all. The great exciting cause is the want of adequate employment. Idleness has been called the mother of mischief, and if you add to that leisure for the concoction and execution of evil designs, the destitution and want of all the comforts of civilised life, which must attend the want of occupation amongst a class who are dependent for their daily bread on the sweat of their brows ; the result must be discontent and recklessness, leading to the fearful evils and oc currences which have too frequently inflicted indelible stains on the character of our Irish brethren. If therefore no other good was to be obtained but the increased employment afforded to the labour ing classes in effecting the improvements contem plated and promoted by the first Bill, an object of vast importance will have been attained; but there is little doubt that great and permanent good will he thereby effected to all classes, and perhaps those whose interests will ultimately be most benefited are the landlords, whose rights some may say are unduly in terfered with in the present instance. Great difficulties must attend the introduction of any measure dealing summarily with the rights of a vast and important body of our countrymen, the owners of the soil, rights which have gene rally been considered inviolable and sacred. The members of the several branches of the Legislature, by whom this interference must be approved and sanctioned, all belong to the class whose property is affected, many of them thinking that they are fully entitled to do as they will with their own ; but a much larger proportion, we are happy to say, are disposed to give its full weight to the important proposition " that property has its duties as well as its rights," and of sufficient patriotism and philanthropy to yield gracefully a certain portion of these rights, when it is clearly and indisputably esta blished that their doing so will be productive of much benefit to the great body of the people—to their common country. Few will be disposed to question the statements of the Commissioners, " that an improved cultivation of the soil and an ad- vanced condition of the people are intimately connected with the general prosperity of the whole empire ;" and few can doubt that this improvement is much discouraged by the want of some certain tenure in the land, or the security to the tenant of obtaining an adequate return for the expenditure incurred by him in effecting such improvement, either in the length of his tenure, or in a fair compensation for his outlay and labour in the event of his being obliged :to quit the farm within a certain time. How to effect this object, so desirable in every point of view, was the point, and it is little to be wondered at that the first measure (that brought forward by Lord STANLEY during the last session) should not be adequate to the purpose. Great simplicity in the machinery to be adopted was essentially necessary; and we think Lord LINCOLN has acted wisely in not introducing any new machinery, but in having recourse to that which ' is already in existence, and well known throughout the country, and which bad been recommended by the Commissioners, viz., the Assistant-Barristers. There are various classes of improvement cpntemplated by the measure : two of these are essentially different from the others, as effecting a vast and per manent improvement in the value of the farms, and these we think justly are made different from the others, by being made charges on the inheritance, and also as being compulsory on the landlords. Others may be made by agreement, as farming, manuring, &c. &c. and will be binding on the landlord himself who agrees to them so far as his own interest in the land is concerned. By the new Bill, the tenant is em powered to serve a notice in a prescribed form on the landlord ; if the landlord approved thereof he signified his assent, and the matter was thereby carried into execution ; if he disapproved, it fell to the ground in all except the two compulsory clauses re lating to building and thorough draining. Notice should be served on the immediate land • lord in person, and on all others having an in terest in the lands exceeding thirty-one years, through the post-office. We think that it would be prudent to enable the tenant, in certain cases, with the approba tion of the Assistant-Barrister, to effect a substitu- tion of service of this notice on the recognised agent, bailiff, or driver of the landlord, if not residing in the immediate vicinity of the lands. We know, too well the great difficulty that is found in too many instances in effecting personal service of any legal process or notice in Ireland, and we cannot see the objection to having the notice served on the party who receives the rent, or acts on behalf of the land lord in respect to the land. Such a provision, how ever, may be introduced when the measure goes into Committee. The immediate landlord, on receipt of this notice, will he bound to name an arbitrator on his behalf, and to state whether be was willing to do the work himself, otherwise an allowance not exceeding five per cent. on building, and four per cent. on drain ing, is to be made.: _ If the landlord assents, the document which em bodies that assent is to be filed with the clerk of the peace, and the expense becomes a charge on the inheritance. If the landlord objects, he should serve notice of objection, and an arbitrator must be appointed; if he refuse to appoint one, arbitrators must be ap pointed by the Assistant-Barrister and justices at quarter-sessions. The arbitrators may ap point an umpire, or if they do not agree, then he should be appointed by the Assistant-Barrister. The award being made, the landlord has an option of undertaking the works himself, if he intimates his intention of so doing within thirty-one days, and the award thus made is to be registered with the clerk of the peace ; a power of inspecti on i s to b e given to the l a ndlord to see that the work is Properly do ne . O ur space this day does not permit a further notice, but subject and the other ed by the Noble speedily return to the uc Chief Secretary. two Bills introduced b° on n d e c d o i rr ti e o s ir o n f d t e h n a t t j'or the urnal TiAnzesl,etputerblifsrhoemd itnhea Lisbon correspondent of the Times, publishe d in a sec this morning, AP me universal. The Funds and dated Lisbon,. June Ist, says : " The panic has bs , -°- have fallen a further 10 per cent., 15 per cent. within a fortnight. " The official report of trade in the Diario of' this day is of the most desponding character. The ma ket continues paralysed. We ar e not aware of any transaction to specify. " Public Funds.—Small transactions have been realised during the week. Shares of companies are not sought. Paper money and titulos in apathy. The * (a word illegible) are quoted from 42 to 45. The shares of the Bank of Lisbon from 580 to 609 milreis each, being a fall of 25 per cent., and those of the Confianca National at 47i milreis, a fall of more than 50 per cent. since the suspension of payment." The Algarves, it appears, have risen, and joined in the general movement, and the Governor of the pro vince has retired to Albuferia, where the troop 3 are concentrated. " This," says the Times correspondent, TR EYEN'ING, " completes the rising of the entire nation, with scarcely the exception of one isolated town." Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived. The brothers CABRAL arrived in Madrid on that day. M. BIICHENTAL, who had been banished by Alt- VAEZ, has returned to Madrid. MAnzin Bous, Ju:a 6.—Thre2 per Cents. 83i i to I cash. Intelligence from Rome to the Ist instant has been received. A fierce struggle is expected between the Austrian and French interests in the approaching election of Pope. It appears that the former Power rather stands in dread of the intrigues of M. Rossi, the French Ambassador, who is denounced by those favourable to Austrian influence as the " able and wily agent of the egotistical policy of France." The news of the insurrection in Portugal had excited a great sensation in Rome. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies resumed the discussion on the state of Algiers. '['he principal speakers were M. FERDINAND BARROT and M: DE TOCQUEVILLE. We give a resume of the arguments of M. DE TOCQUEVILLE from the Presse : "What," asked M. DS TOCQUEVILLE, "is the real state of Algeria ? What is the evil ? What the remedy ?" and, remarks La Presse," These questions M. DE TOCQUEVILLE examined with singular talent and close analysis :" " The real state is to be found in the three facts which we have so often had occasion to expatiate upon. Ist. The war in Africa is an embarrassment, and no longer a danger. 2ndly. Colonizing by means of the native population is a chimera. 3dly. A fact to be resolved hereafter comprises the whole future destiny of our establishment—viz., the arrival in Africa of a large European pop u latio n ? Where is the evil ? It is in the constant incorrectness of the official information given to the Chamber upon the state of our affairs in Algeria. The Ministerial pictures are seducing, but, unfortunately, are false in every particular. ' Cultiva tion there is none; colonization, real and active, tbere is none; produce is at an end; in the villages one-half the inhabitants are dead, and the other half dying from starvation. The evil is, moreover, to be found in the obstacles opposed to all individual: endeavours, and in the absence of all the guarantees which should protect interests.' On this point M. de Tocqueville quoted a very important fact, which seemed to make a lively impression on the Cham ber. There are colonization societies in Switzerland, and these societies say to persons who consult them before they emigrate:—' You may safely go to Algeria; the soil is good and fruitful—the climate is holesome and agreeable. But there is no Government, nor guarantee, nor pro tection ; and you will find there nothing but misery and death.' When we reflect that every year thousands of men expatriate themselves over every part of America, what regret we must feel in reflecting on the position in which misgovernment has placed Algeria, and under which it has so long groaned. The remedy, which M. de Tocqueville as well as ourselves, has so often repeated, is to be found in the institution. He combats the pessimists, who see everywhere insurmountable difficulties, whilst the difficulties against which we contend in Africa are exactly the same as present themselves in the infancy of all new stutes, and are to be sur mounted by having recourse to the same means." M. DE TOCQUEVILLE concluded in favour of the appointment of a Special Department and Minister of Algeria. The subject of the election of Pope is commented on in the Opposition journals. The Courrier Fran cais after alluding to the fruitless endeavours of France to procure for the Roman citizens municipal liberties and the abolition of exclusive privileges, de clares that, in spite of M. GUIZOT and the reactionary men who may succeed him, French liberty will, sooner or later, emancipate Italy, and restore to the Papacy its real character and mission. "The news announced," says the Epoque, "by several journals, that a re nissim of the rest of their punisament has been accorded to General Montholon, the Englishman Field ing, and Lieut. Aladenise, the three last companions of the captivity of Prince Louis Napoleon, is entirely unfounded. There has been neither pardon nor, as was stated, even pro mise of pardon, after the trial of Doctor Conneau. General Montholon is detained at Ham, Fielding at Versailles, and Aladenise at SL Pelagie." The Duke D ' AUMALE arrived at Algiers on the 2d of June. During the course of his campaign he received the submission of many Arab tribes. On the same day General Yusu' returned to Algiers with four hundred and fifty horses, which he had levied as a fine on the tribe of Ouled-Nayls. The war has ceased in every direction in Algeria, and the troops are enjoying a little repose.

At the present time the publication of such a map is of great value, showing as it does the whole Oregon terri tory, and its relative position to the British possessions. India, and China. In the event of a war on the subject of Oregon, the Sandwich Islands, the possession of which our Govern- ment refused some two years since, will become of immense importance, situated as they are in the direct coast to Oregon, India, China, New South Wales, and New Zealand. Should the project of cutting through the Isthmus of Panama be carried into effect, the French possessions in the Marquesas will become valuable : we doubt, however, whether the Isthmus will ever be cut through, and even if should, the route to Australia, proposed by Lieutenant Waghom, via Sin gapore, appears to be in every way preferable to the route via Panama. Our magnificent colonies in Australia and New Zealand are here accurately delineated, and seeing their relative position to India, to China, and to America, it is impossible to exaggerate their importance. As a work of art this map is beautiful, and as a work of refer:nce it is invaluable. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CUT, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, but not lively. Sales, 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares con tinued dull. The embarrassments of individual , , whether scripholders or committeemen, we are glad to learn from various quarters are being gradually lessened, though we feel assured that in ! respect to the proceedings of the managing directors of many schemes there is yet much to be settled. It never can be ex pected. while there are any men of public spirit, or any men dis posed to resist the wholesale squandering of their funds against their expressed wishes, that matters will be allowed to go on without some attempt to obtain justice. Without in any de gree prejudicing a case now before the Court of Chancery, we think it highly desirable to call attention to it, as affording to shareholders similarly situated a hint as to the proper means of obtaining satisfaction, or, at any late, of seeking it, which, to men who act upon principle, is sometimes little less consolatory. In the case in question, a railway company is carried on, although the requisite de posits are not completed, the committee withholding shares for their own purposes, or in order, as is stated, to realise a premium. B , sides this, the funds of the company were em ployed to " rig up" the prices in the market, and the Bill was applied for, contrary to the ex pressed wishes of the shareholders, who threw it out by petitioning after it had been read a third time. Such are briefly the alleged circumstances, and it is now sought to prevent a return of the- deposits lodged with the Accountant- General to the Committee accused of such illegal practices. The cases parallel to this are extremely numerous, as we are assured by many who must be con versant with them, and we hope the result will be in favour of the shareholders. in the English Stocks there is a change for the better to day, and the interest of those who have profited by the late reaction may be now to rally prices. Consols for the open ing have been 95 1 7 i to 95 1 4 ; Exchequer-bills have been quiet at 16s. premium ; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 96% to 97; and the Three per Cents. 95 to 4. The Foreign Bonds have been steady, and there is to be be noted especially the firmer appearance of Portugue.se Stock, the Three per Cents. being 46, and the Four per Cents. 47; Dutch Four per Cents. are 91%; Mexican Five per Cents. have been quoted, 28% to 29; and the Deferred, 16 1 / 2 to 16 3 / ; Brazil New Bonds are 80 to 82. With stocks we have also had some improvement in rail way shares and scrip, and there is more doing. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Three per Cent.

The Committee appointed to consider the merits of the three Bills included in the above title, met for the first time in Room B (New Houses of Parliament) at about half-past eleven. The members are —the Duke of Cleveland (chairman), the Earl of Scarborough, and Lords Colchester, Somerville, and De Lisle. The three Bills are—the Churnet Valley line, the Harecastle and Sandbach line, and the Pottery line, being all branches of the North Staffordshire Railway. Mr. Austin, Mr. Talbot, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and Mr. Ser geant Murphy appeared for the promoters of the Bill, and numerous counsel appeared for landowners petitioning against the Bill. Mr. Arnim said that as the three Bills were in tact but one scheme, it was proposed to take them together, t y which much time would be saved by toe promoters, and the opponents would be put to no inconvenience. The Committee assented to this course, and Mr. TALBOT proceeded to open the case for the promoters of the Bills, at groat length. -Ile said that he thought the total absence of railway accommodation in the Potteries and other popu lour manufacturing mineral and agricultural districts itt North Staffordshire was a sufficient argument as to the necessity for these lines. The distances between various important places would he very much shortened by this line ; as, for instance, the distance between Manchester would be reduced by 7 miles 3 furlongs ; be tween Macclesfield and London, by 28 miles 3 furlongs ; between Stockport and London, by 8 miles ; between Sandbach and London, by 3% miles; between Manchester and Birmingham, by 4 miles; between Macclesfield and Birmingham, by 24 miles ; between Stock port and Birmingham, by 3% miles; between Manchester and Derby, by 18 miles 3 furlongs ; between Macclesfield and Derby, by 51 miles 3 furlongs; and between Stockport and Derby by 80 miles. This was not one of the Bills projected during the late railway mania of 1845, having been formed by the union of the Churnet Valley Railway Company and the Staffordshire Potteries Railway Com pany ; the former of which was favourably reported on by the Board of Trade in 1844. Three-fourths of the estimate (which amounted to 2,500,00010 had been subscribed, and 10 per cent. had been de posited according to the standing orders of the House of Commons. The total length of line would be 122 miles. The railway would give to the Staffordshire Potteries, Newcastle, and Stone, an expedi tious access to the ports of Liverpool and Birkenhead, whence their principal exports are shipped, and would plane then large population and important manufactures on the main line between London and Manchester, and would afford them direct communication not only with those places, but also with Birmingham, Derby, and, in fact, with all parts of the kingdom, by means of the various railways al ready established. It would open a direct communication between the town of Congleton (now wholly unaccommodated by railways) and London, Manchester, Macclesfield, Coventry, and Derby, with ss hick places its extensive silk manufactures necessarily occasion an extensive intercourse It would afford a direct railway com munication from Liverpool, Chester, and the north-western districts of the kingdom, to Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, and the eastern counties ; and it would open the valuable coal fields in North Staf fordshire for the supp , y of the manufacturing districts, of the Pot teries, Newcastle, Macclesfield, Stockport, Manchester, and Bir mingham. It would also afford great facilities tor the supply of iron, the other staple commodity of North Staf fordshire. These great public objects, which, as separate schemes, would require the construction of 162 miles of new railway, would be effected, through the happy combination of the North Staffordshire Railway, by. the construction of only 122% miles of new railway. The population on. and within two miles of the line, was unusually large, being altogether 344,391, or upwards of 500 per square mile, while the average population of England is calculated to be about 303 per square mile. The population, not on the new line, but which would be immediately accommodated by it, was also unusually large. The Learned Counsel dwelt at consi derable length on what he considered the " insignificant " nature of the opposition which, he said, consisted entirely of cases for compensation, and not of cases of residential in jury, such as could not be compensated for. Having concluded his address, he called Mr. Ricardo, M.P. fOr the Potteries. and chairman of the North Staffordshire Railway Company, wile gave general ev , dence in ta vour of the line. He was cross-examined by Mr. FLUND, who ap peared for Mr. Cartwright and Mrs. Carey (Mr. Cartwright's daugh ter), petitioners against the Bill ; and by Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, who appeared for Sir Hettry Everett, also petitioning against it. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. Their Lordships met at eleven 'clock, in Rcom A. ; Lord Beau mont in the chair. All the mem! ers were present. The Committee were occupied with general evidence nearly the whole of the morning. .1101 SE OF et )MMONS. GROUP XIII. This Committee, met to-day at twelve o'clock; Sir Will'am Clay in the chair. AYRSHIRE AND GALLOWAY. Mr. Macdonnell, engineer of the Gloucester and Birmingham line, was examined, in corroborration of the evide- ce of Mr. M•Callum. given yesterday. He also explained the mode of working the Lickey inane, to show that there would not be any great difficulty in work ing tlr: gradient of 1 in 55, on the proposed line. Mr. Robinson, civil engineer, gave evidence to a similar effect. He th.t.t4lit the estimates for the proposed line quite ample enough. Mr. William Gordon deposed that he had resided for some time at Baleary Bay, and c..nsidered it a good position for a harbour. The line and the harbour in question, w uld be of great benefit to the county of Kirkcudbright. The bay was easy of access to shipping. This closed the case on behalf of the promoters. GROUP XVII, MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON, AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED.. BRIDGE BRANCH). The Committee met this morning at the usual hour , the Hon. E Yorke in the chair. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON, Mr. Etwall, M.P. for Andover, was the first witness called. lie said he possessed property in the neighbourhood of Andover, and con sidered that the whole of the district would be benefited by direct communication with the manufacturing districts. Fie knew no line which could acc4 mplish this object better than the Manchester and Southampton. It would be most valuable for the carriage of manure and salt, which, if it could be obtained with facility, would be largely used in the improvement of the land, as it purified it, and destroyed noxious insects. The feeling was unanimous in favour of the line in the towns throughout the line, and at Southampton. By Mr. HATIIERTON—There were not more than two coaches passing to and fro between Cheltenham and Marlborough, Luc they Were always loaded. The district was a rich agricultural one. By the CuarastAti—The expense of constructing efficient roach in an agricultural district, not desirous of paying a large rate, no doubt reduced the number of coaches, and pre ented pemle front moving- • about more ihan they did; but it a Company, with ample means, were to construct a through communication, there could be no ques tion about these districts availing themselves of it to a large extent.

FALL FROM THE ROOF OF A HOUSE.—On Thursday a man named Patrick Hart, aged 45 years, a bricklayer's labourer, was employed on the roof of a new building in Bermondsey New • road, when he misied his footing, and fell to the basement of the building, wbaraby he received serious injury to the spine and other contusions on variOas parts of his person. Ile was taken to Guy's Hospital. SUICIDE OF A PRISONER IN A POLICE-STATION.- Late last night Mr. J. Payne, the Deputy-Coroner, held art inquest at St. George's Wcrttouse, Borough, on the body of Francis Watson, aged 22 yr.:ars, the yo mg man who was remanded at the Southwark Police-Court, before Mr. Cottingham, on Wednesday last, on the charge of an unnatt.r tl crime, and who committed suicide the same day whilst under confl !ement in his cell. The jury, after a length ened invest gallon, adjourned the inquiry to (this day . ), for evidence as to the state of deceased's mind. DESPERATE STRUGGLE BETWEEN A WOMAN AND A THIEF.—On Thursday afternoon a female, named Elizabeth Whit more, the wife of a printer, residing at No. 13, Poppins-court, Fleet street, finding herself somewhat Indisposed, looked her room door and laid down upon the bed. She had not, however, been long in that position ere she heard a gentle tap at the door, and presently the handle of the lock was turned, and ultimately the door was opened, by means, it is presumed, of a skeleton key. The intruder, however, had no sooner made his appearance than he was pounced upon by Mrs. Whitmore (a powerful woman), who, imagining some thing wrong was intended, left the bed and quietly awaited the re sult. Having seized the fellow by the collar a vio ent struggle en sued, and they actually fell, rolling together from the first-floor land in; to the bottom of the stairs. There the fellow succeeded for an instant in getting up, and started off, but he was almost as quickly ' followed by his determined opponent with the cry of " Stop thief," and he was seized by police-constable Lowther, 338, and conveyed to the station-house. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT A CARRARA WATER MANU recroay.—Yesterday morning an accident of a very distressing cha racter occurred to a boy, named James Darrell, aged 15 years, in the employ of Messrs. Callopp and Co., of No. 78 Upper Thames-street, City, manufacturers of Maugham's patent carrara water. It appears that the unfortunate lad was busily employed in packing a large quantity of the water in the racks, ready for sale, when one of the glass bottles suddenly exploded with a loud report. A portion of the broken glass cut him in the left eye, and the sight of the eye is en tirely destroyed. Other parts of his face are also cut, and much di-figured. lie was carried to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he now remains in a very deplorable condition. EXTRAORDINARY ROSE TREE.—As a remarkable instance of rapid growth in a rose tree, I beg to state that there is at present growing In Sale, a tree bearing 8,000 rases of a rare kind. It was planted in May 1841, being then a small slip, seven inches long, without roots. It now measures 69 feet in width, and 88 feet in height. One branch grew 12 feet 6 inches last year, and is now co vered with roses. It is the property of Mr. William Alderley, of Sale, and may be seen by any person passing up the lane leading surv eys last twoof t h m e from Dr.,hite's bridge.—Manchester Guardian.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY During the present week the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market have been on a very limited scale ; hence the show of samples here was small. Still, however, the demand was in a sluggish state, at about Monday's quotations. In Foreign Wheat—free and in bond —so Ittle business was transacted that prices were almost nornitt,l. Grinding Barley moved off at late rates, but all other kinds were very dull. The demand for Malt was wholly In retail, at previous cur rencies. The supply of Oats being very small, that article was firm, and the turn dearer. In Beans, Peas, and Flour, next to nothing was doing. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley.

Present, Mr. Sotheron (Chairman), Sir E. Pigot, Lord 11. Itentinek, Mr. Tancred, and 31r. Buss. They resumed the consideratikm of the LONDON, HOUNSLOW, AND WESTERN. Tice evidence in support of the Duke of Northumberland's opposi. tion having been concluded on Wednesday, whets the Committee ad. journed to this day, Mr. RowE, as agreed upon, now addressed the Committee in review of that evidence, contending that his Noble client had com pletely established that his wansion and r,ark at Sion would be interfered with by the railway in a most detrimental man ner—that the terms of several of his tenants would also be mate rially injurec, and in some cases absolutvy destroyed. It had further beets proved to the Committee that the line would approach within a most dangerous proximity of the powder-mills at Hounslow —so much that, according to the evidence of the Governwient engineers who had been examined, that alone ought to be taken as a sufficient reason for the rejection of the Bill. die Learned Counsel also re ferred to the engineering evidence, which lie argued was conclusive of the demerits of the line in that respect. On the whole, he trusted that a case had been made out to satisfy the Committee that there was no demand for the line sufficient to justify the expewsivenes , of the work itself, or the destruction of property and the damage to the public which it would involve. The Learned Gemlernan having concluded, the Committee called on the competing line, that is the LONDON AND WINDSOR.. Mr. JAMES, as couns 1 for the promoters, claimed to he heard on the petition of his clients against the previous Bill (London, Houns low, and Western), for non-compliance with the standing orders, be fore he was required to go into his own case, and before he put in the evidence required by Mr. Duneombe's resolutions. Mr. Phipps and Mr. Kennedy. for the Loudon, Hounslow, and I , V , inisor, strenuously opposed this course, but ^tier much discussion, The Committee decided to hear the petition, which was accord ingly put in. GROUP XXVIII, LONDON AND YORK, ST. ALBAN'S, LUTON AND DUNSTABLE BRANCH. The Committee to which this line is referred met to-day at twelve o'clock in Room No. 33. 3lr. AUSTIN, who appeared for 'he Hertford and Hatfield Railway. stated to the Committee that inasmuch as the promoters of the London and York (St. Alban's, Luzon, and Dunstable Branch), which the Committee had passed yesterday, had admitted that the portion of the Hue between Walford and St. Alban's was of little consequence to them, the Committee would perhaps re-consider the case of that portion of the line, and as the matter was one of indifference to the Company they might at least give the resident landowners a choice. Mr. WELLS, on the part of the promoters, objected to any such proceedi g. The traffic between these points, it taken by another line, would clear away all the traffic, from the main line. The room was ten cleared. Atter the lapse of a few minutes the doors were re-opened. The CitaiamaN said that the Committee had desired him to state that they could not consent to the proposition of Air. Austin. ST. ALBANS, HATFIELD, AND HERTFORD VICE-CHANCERY. -(THIS )AY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor KNICIHT BRUCE.) CHAPLIN V. CARRICK. This case was mentioned again this morning. The de fendants stated that they admitted, lin. the purposes of the cause, the invalidity in Scotch law of the marriage in Scot land, and that there was no evidence of a marriage having been solemnized in England. There were two questions raised at the former hearing, on which his Honour wished the opinion of a court of law, namely, the construction of the will, and the domicile of the parties being in England while they contracted a marriage in another country, which, by the laws of that country, was invalid. The defendants wished to have his Honour's decision on both these questions without their having to go into a court of law. 'the Comm felt that these questions were of such great general importance, and withal so difficult, that, though willing to consider the papers in the cause, it might yet ap pear to be necessary to take the opinion of a court of law ; and therefore the Court wished parties now to elect what in that case they would do. The defendair s gave in the papers in the cause to the Court, and had leave to mention it again on Monday week. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY THE QUEIN V. BANKS AND CORMACK. In this case, which was tried at the last Kent Spring As sizes at Maidstone, the defendants were brought up for judg ment. The defendants are manufacturing chemists in Thames street, Greenwich, and the premises in which they carried on their business was entered upon in :the spring of 1845. In November of the same year, the parish authorities of Green wich receis ing complaints of the works of defendants occa sioning a nuisance, and injuring the health of the neigh bourhood, notice of action was served, and the defendants not satisfying the complainants as to their abandoning the processes occasioning the nuisance complained of, an in dictment was preferred; and a verdict was obtained after a long trial, and the examination of a large number of wit nesses, at Maidstone. Bailwas then given for the appearance of the defendants for judgment in the Court of Queen's Bench, when called on. This morning several affidavits in mitigation were put in, to the effect that the processes com plained of were not injurious to health, and that had they been so, they were discontinued before the indictment was pre ferred, as they were only entered on as experiments preliminary to the obtaining of certain patents that would materially re move the existing objections to large chemical works in towns and populous localities. _ Mr. Sergeitnt SHER was heard at some length also in mitigation. The COURT decided that the defendants should pay the costs of the proceedings, or, failing to do so, they would be called up for judgment on some future day. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. CROWTHER this morning appeared against a rule ob tained on a previous day. to show cause against paying the costs of an action instituted by a party in Birmingham to recover 21., on the grourd that, according to the provisions of the Birmingham Court of Requests Act, costs for debts under 5/., if incurred in any other Court of Re quests, could not be recovered, providing the parties to the action were within the jurisdiction of that Court. The Learned Gentleman's answer to the application was a clause of the local Act referred to, which provided the ex ception, that any sum under 5/., Wier rent, could be recoveted with costs in a superior court. An affidavit that the 3/. in question was for rent was then put in. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN, who was on the other side, not being prepared to answer the affidavit, the rule was discharged. EXCHEQUEK.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) WA LSTAB V. SPOTTISWOODE.-IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO TR! LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE-MEN The LORD CHIEF BAnON, at the sittings of the Court, proceeded to give judgment in the above important case. His Lordship said that this was an action of assumpsit, brought to recover a suns of money, had and received ; to the first count the defendant pleaded non assumpsit. The cause was tried . before him ( the Lord Chief Baron) on the 22d of February last, and was brought against the defendant as one of the Provisional Committee of the Dirt ct Birmingham and Ox ford Railway. The Company was provisionally registered under the 7th and Bth Victoria, the capital was to be 2,000,000/., divided into 80,000 shares of 25/ each, the deposit to be 2/. 12s. 6d. On the 7th of October, 1845, the plaintiff applied for shares, and on the 18th of October she received her letter of allotment ; it was for thirty shares, and on which she paid as deposit the sum of 781. 15s. This letter was to have been exchanged f , r scrip. On the 27th of October the plaintiff applied for the scrip, when she was informed that the issuing of the scrip would take place on the 6th of November. On the 12th the plaintiff applied again, when she was informed by the secretary that the company did not intend to issue any, and that the affairs of the company would be wound up, and the surpls's, after pay ment of the expenses, would be returned. In consequence of public confidence in the Share Market being shaken, the deposits on only 4,000 shares had been paid. On these grounds the plaintiff brought her action against the deendant, as one of the provisional committee. At the trial it was contended that the defendant was not !able. The jury, however, found a verdict for the plaintiff, leave being given for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit if the Court should be of opinion the plaintiff had not made out her case. Mr. Martin, in the last term, obtained a rule nisi for a nonsuit or ' a new trial. As the whole matter had been very fully dis cu-sed, it would not be necessary to advert to the arguments of Counsel, further than to say that the Court is fully of opinion that the plaintiff is entitled to recover, and therefore cn the count for money had and received, the verdict must be entered for the plaintiff, and tor the defendant on the first count. It was argued by the defendant's counsel that there existed a quasi partnership, but such was not true, for there was no evidence or proof cf that fact; and we are of opinion that no such partnership ever existed. With re spect to the point that the plaintiff had by her application for the scrip became identified with the Com pany, we are of opinion that no scrip had ever been issued, for the scheme was an abortive one, and that it had failed before any all bum_ tit of scrip was midi.. With regard to the point raised that the Company was not at an end, the Court is fully of opinion that the answer of the secretary that the affairs of the Company were about to be wound up, was suffi cient evidence to go to the jury, and they found that the Company was at an end; and we 1 hipk:the jury we' e well warranted in coming to that conclusion. The next con.;_ iteration for the Court is the claim which was made for 2s. 6d. per share towards the defraying of the expenses of the Company. Now, that money was fora specific puri,ose, and until the scheme was fully carried out such a claim could not be maintained, and therefore the plaintiffis entitled to recover that part back also. The judgment of the Court therefore is, that the verdict on all the pleas is to be entered for the plaintiff, with the exception of the plea to the first count, which will be for the defendant. The Court was crowded to excess by parties connected with railways, who evidently appeared greatly disappointed at the decision. SOCIETY OF ARTS.-(THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of this Society was held this day at the offices, John-street, Adelphi. Sir Edward Codrington presided. Mr. S. RUSSELL (the Secretary) intimated that he had just come from Buckingham Palace, and he was sorry to inform the meeting that his Royal Highness Prince Albert would be unable to attend in consequence of an injury received on the previous day. The CHAIRMAN then stated, that they were favoured with the pre sence of his Highness, Ibraham Pacha. He (the Chairman) had, some years ago, been engaged in open hostilities with his Highness, but he was proud to say; that their distinguished visitor had made it a point to call upon him, and to express himself desirous of his friendship. The SECRETARY then read the report, which embraced the list of prizes awarded, and the general business of the Society for the pre ceding 3 ear. The distribution of prizes followed. Mr. Ricardo, of Brignion, was awarded the Gold Isis Medal for his machine for registering the speed of railway trains ; Mr. T. M. De Folly, of 29. Harrington-street, Hampstead-road, the Gold Isis Medal Mr his improved key-board for the piano -forte ; and Mr. T. It. Cramptcn the Gold Isis Medal for his improvement in loco motive engines. Mr. Crairipton's improvements are of so im portant a character that we feel it our duty to briefly notice them. One of the principal features in the invention, consists in the means or reducing the height 01 the engine, and by that to reduce the lia bility to accident by the increased steadiness which is effected. Although this important reduction in the height is accomplished, it is not necessary that any variation in the detail of the best locomotive engine now in use, should be made, indeed greater facility is ail. Tiled for introdncing many of the best movements, and it is peculiarity fitted for the adaptation of large driving wheels the advantages of which have been always granted. As nearly all the engines which are now running on the narrow gauge have been of a power considerably inferior to those on the broad gauge, it is a desideratum with the narrow gauge interest to' employ engines of the greatest possible power, and thus meeting the wishes of the public by securing high speed w ith regularity, this great advantage is semi• d by Crampton's engine in the most perfect man ner. A large epiantity of watery surface may with ease be intro duced, equal in area to that used on the bra id gauge. As a proof of the high estimation in which this invention is held, it should ue no ticed that several are now being constructed—among others, one for the London and Birmingham Railway. In the Fine Arts the principal priies were awarded to Felix Sum merly, Fsq., of Old Bsnd•street, and to Messrs. Minton and Co., of Stoke-on-Trent, for their models of earthenware tea service ; in agriculture and chemistry, Dr. Ritterbandt, of King William-street, Strand, was awarded the gold Isis Medal; and in manufactures, it. Albano, Esq., of 24, Essex-street, and Mr. G. Warrener, of 60, Fenchurch-street, carried off the two principal prizes. After thanks had been voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LAUNCH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S YACHT. At twelve o'clock on Wednesday this splendid specimen of British naval architecture was launched from White's celebrated yard into the Medina. The Archduke being at Portsmouth, and expected down to witness the launch, caused great interest to be excited; numbers assembled, the yachts and merchant vessels were gaily dressed out with colours, as were the different wharfs and consular establish ments. Preparations were made at the Royal Yacht Squa dron House to fire a salute, but the Duke came not, and the vessel was named, by the lady of the Russian Consul at this port, the Queen Victoria, by permission of her M a j esty, and at the particular request of the Emperor a bust of her Majesty is to grace her bows. Her dimensions are as follow ; Keel for tonnage 93ft. Oin. Breadth extreme Depth Burthen in tons, 260. She is to be manned by forty-five Welshmen.

Mr. AUSTIN said that he appeared fur the promoters of this line, and they had decided not to prosecute the Bill. Mr. *ELLS submitted that, unoer these circumstances, the London and York Branch from Hatfield to Hertford could pass as an unop posed Bill, as there were no landowners' objections. Evidence was then adduced as to the length of the line, (seven miles tour furlongs and fifty-eight yards), and it was proved that there were no engineering difficulties on the route. The CHAIRMAN then stated that the opinion of the Committee was, that the preamble of the London, St. Alban's, Hatfield, and Hertford Branch was proved. _ The Comniittee then went through the clauses of both Bills, which were agreed to, and separated. GROUP XXXVIII. LEEDS AND BRADFORD. The Committee to which this line is referred, met today at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 34. The CHAIRMAN said, that in consequence of the omission of the name of one Member, the Committee was not formed. In all pro bability the Committee would be re-appointed by the House, and sit on Monday. GROUP LVII.

MIN GRAD' RAILWAY AIVIA.I.GAIVI.A.•I lON. Mr. Hon suggested, on behalf of these Companies, in consequence of the report of the Board of Trade, that the Chairman of his Com mitt,e should confer with the Select Committee on Amalgamations on the subject of the proposed amall,cemation, fur the purpose of devising how the report of the Board of Trade on amalgamation could be best carried out in this case. The room was cleared, and, on our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN announced that the Select Committee on Amalga mations was no longer in existence, and that, even if it were, it ; would not be in accordance with the practiceof the House to confer with them officially. However, this Committee would probably confer privately with the Members of the late Amalgama tion Committee. He might observe that this Committee generally was not unfavourable to amalgamations, and that they knew nothing particularly objectionable in this case. But they con sidered, at the same time, that provision should be made against the possibility of the pubic being injured at any time hereafter by the proceectl.tgs of so powertid a body as these two companies would become when amalgamated —they might Impose tolls and burd fis upon the public which would be exceedingly oppressive. The Committee hail therefore to suggest, that instead of a Bill to m autho rise a perpetual amalgaation, it would be better that a Bill should be sanctioned for leasing one of the Companies to the Vietriite Board kyr a l cer tain term, and in which power should be given of Trade, in ca' e of any oppressive conduct eionn, say a: twelve the part of the Companies towards the public, to months' notic,, that the lease inAdbeegnivberolten, and they should again become separate companies , .
