The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsask Five o'clock. Various petitions having been presented, 'f 1 e Earl of CLARENnoN moved for certain papers relating to Oregon. The Earl of ABERDEEN objected to go into any discussion until the negotiations should be concluded, and assured the House that the Government were disposed to adopt any conciliators• measure consistent with national honour ; and if they should he forced into a contest, he trusted the civi lised world would do justice to their endeavours to pre. serve peace. Lord BaotriaLtn, in common with every Christian, wank, regret the occurrence of war. It was a thing to be avoided, but certainly rct to be dreaded. The Noble and Learned Lord then explained, with regard to the globe, publishec] by Mr. lisiGnT, to which he alluded on a former occasion, that Mr. EVERZTT, the Ameiican Minister, was not at at to bk;me for the publication in question, which was a mere itiblisher's speculation. The motion was agreed to. After a tillort conversation on the sulject of the eXpeaitiouF manner in which the Bellerophon had been rigged, in thk course of avh7ch high eulogiurns were passed on the officer. d men concerned in the operation, the House adjourned. The SrzAKLE, took the Chair at Four o'clock. RELLv took the oaths and his seat for Limerick. Several railway Bills were read a second time and ordered to La committed. Mr. LCCIMART then moved, pursuant to notice, that the Committee on the Glasgow Waterworks Bill be again re , i v al, and have leave to sit on Thursday at twelve o'clock. rile lion. Member, in making th e motion, said that he compelled to do so in consequence of Members neg- F.:ding to attend, and the promoters of the Bill being at an expense of 400/. a day. After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to. Several petiions were presented again s t the reorganisation of the Committee. Mr. LABOUCHERE presented a petition from the Water mln's Steam-p ac ket Company, complaining of th e course p to them by the authorities of the city of London, asking the House to institute an inquiry into their jari z . diction on the river Thames. Mr. Wyst!.. gave no:ice of his intention, on Tuesday next, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to promote the extension of art-unions. Mr. OVCNNELL gave notice of his intention, on the sec)nd reading of the Life and Property Protection (Irtland) Bill to move certain resolutions. Lord DUNCAN postponed to Tuesdly, the 31st of March, his motion for the repeal of the window-tax. On the motion for the further proceeding with the report on the customs (the tariff) bein g put, A Mr. STFFOiII) O'BLZIEN took occasion to complain that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had not proceeded with many of the measure that had been promised at the commencement of the ses sion. He thought the House had a right to complain of the manner in which the Right Hon. Baronet had brought, or rather neglected to bring, what he called his great t,cheme before the House. He was anxious to know when the whole of the scheme was to be brought forward, and he complained of the absence of the Right Hon. Baronet from the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid that the ab simee of the Right Hon. Baronet arose from public business. The measures that had been alluded to were in a state of pre paration, and would be brought forward immediately. There was every disposition on the part of the Government to put the House in possession of all these measures in order that it might f orm i ts op i n i on upon them, but it was thought desirable that the important aubje,tte now under conzidera- Lion should have the full and undivided attention of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr. Sane, stated that ho intended to fix the first order day after the second reading of the Corn Bill for the first reading of the Life and Property Protection (Ireland) Bill. The House then resumed the further consideration of the report on the Customs Duties (tariff). On the question that the duty be reduced on the item of silk-worm gut, Mr. CATLEY moved that the item be omitted. After a short discussion, Mr. CAYLEY withdrew his motion, On the proposition for the reduction of the duty on for reign brandy, Mr. Alderman THomrsoN moved that the words " spirits or strong waters" be struck out. He maintained that it would be much more beneficial to take the excise duty off soap than do away the great income that was derived from the duty on brandy. Mr. EWAIRT supported the reduction, and expressed a hepe that it would be an inducement to France to meet this country in a similar spirit. The Marquis of GRANBY was at a loss to know upon what ground the reduction of the duty could be supported, and he should therefore give it his most strenuous opposition. Mr. CARDWELL supported the Government proposition,- and after a short discussion the Hcusa divided, when the original motion for the reduction was declared to be carried by a majority of ; there being for the motion 64, and for Alderman Thompson's amendment 35. Upon the propositi:on fur taking off the duty on oxen, bulls, &c., Mr. W. MILES opposed the motion, and moved as an amendment the omission of the words oxen, cows, calves, beef fresh and salted, but not hams; which, on a division, was lost by a majority of 39. The articles, foreign bides and linen, were afterwards agreed to. On the timber duties being proposed, Lord G. BENTLNCK suggested that the further consideration should be postponed till Monday. On the suggestion of Sir R. PEEL, Mr. PARKER postponed the consideration of his motion on railway legislation. The Coalwhippers' Act was then read a second time, anti ordered to be comtnilted on Monday. The other orders cf the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. The Earls of CLARENDON cad ABERDEEN are men of the most mild and amiable character, and no two statesmen perhaps could be chosen to speak on the Oregon question who could show a more peaceable disposition, or so much moderation, or such a total absence of every appearance of hostile feeling even towards the violent war party in America. Their brief speeches last evening are perfect models in this respect—they breathe only peace and good will to the mis guided men of the west, and even to Mr. Poug. and General CAss, who have behaved towards England in a way that might justly have called forth different language. Possibly this moderation may have a different effect in America from that intended, and in place of induc ing certain parties to follow the good example, and act like Christians, may lead them, as we find mild language has hitherto done, to rise in their demands, and attribute the apparent submissiveness of Eng land to fear, or commercial interests, or some other motives equally unbecoming a great and high-spirited nation. On the other hand, such a course has its advantages in a moral point of view, and cannot fail to make a favourable impres sion on every Continental Power. England, they must see, has adopted a system in every respect different from that of her antagonist. She has used no insulting language, made no unreasonable demands. She has offered to settle the dispute by negotiation, or reference to a third Power. She has, in short, offered everything consistent with her honour. Looking at the navy of this country, her vast wealth, her almost inexhaustible resources, and the noble contest she so long maintained against the most gigantic power aver seen by Europe—such a peaceful attitude cannot fail to make the deepest impression iu'favour of her rights, and ex hibit her in a light which may well excite the envy of the world. We only trust that this moderation will not be car ried beyond the proper limits, and that Lord ABERDEEN will not forget that there are bounds beyond which even the most peaceable of her MAJESTY'S subjects could not be induced to pass. The rights of the Hudson's Bay Company must be preserved, the Columbia River cannot be surrendered, nor any concession made which can interrupt a free communication with the Pacific ; and it ought never to be forgotten that by yielding to unreasonable demands we only the more en danger the blessings of peace. On these points Lord ABER DEEN said nothing—his remarks were all general, and his hopes of an amicable settlement of the differences much stronger, we fear, than those entertained by any other person. " I cannot," he said, " bring myself to believe that any reason able doubt remains of our being able to bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion." He knows more than the public, and the public in the mean time may take his word when he assures them that the conduct of this great transaction will be forbearing, conciliatory, moderate, and just, without any sacrifice of honour or of the real interests of the country. We only hope that he will never forget his own solemn declara tion, that "England has rights in the Oregon, and that she is prepared to maintain them." The tariff is not yet finished. We had hoped too much, it appears, of the discretion and even of the humanity of protectionist legislators. Though the Corn Bill is waiting for the tariff, and none of the articles included in the tariff— some of them of prime importance to a people suffering from scarcity—can be admitted at the proposed reduced du ties till the whole report on the tariff has been received— notwithstanding the appalling accounts of the march of famine in Ireland, and the authoritative representations of the injury done to all the commercial interests by the con tinuance of delay—the protectionist pop-guns still go on popping, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK still goes on practising himself into an orator at the expense of starving millions, and Sir Joust TYEELL and Colonel Surrnoer making" merry lescants on a nation's woes." When and how is all this tomfoolery to end ? The protectionists, it appears, had made up their mind not to let the second reading of the Corn Bill pass till n'xt Fri• day week. Lord G. BENTINCK has made up his book so as to let the third reading be taken the last day that the House of Commons will sit before Easter, that the Lords may not begin a ith it till :after Easter, so as the protectionists can calk, and will talk, and there is no shame in them. Sir ROBERT PEEL has lost nothing by allowing the second reading of the Corn Bill to be postponed till Monday next ; for whether it comes en next Monday, or had come on last night, in either case it had been settled by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, whose decrees are irrevocable, that the division should take place on Friday week. And Lord GEORGE Besernscre, who shows himself every night a great calculator, has calculated that the debate on timber is to last six hours; so as the douse were not unnaturally unwilling to sit for six hours, from eleven o'clock last night, to begin work again at twelve to-day, and as nothing is lost by letting the six hours' pro tectionist mooning on timber come off on Friday, on Friday it is to come o 11; and then let us hope that the tariff will be tieished, and the new duties come into operation on Satur lay morning. This morning the Irish Fever Bill has been proceeded with. The sentiments to which Mr. WAKLEY has given expression in connexion with this Bill have, we think, been most unjustly misrepresented, when he is ridiculed as pre scribing high diet for fever, and accused of throwing ob structions in the way of the cure of fever, by remonstrating against a previous absence of measures for preventing it. The frightful returns laid before Parliament, if they show anything, show that the fever has its origin in want of food. That is the Government case. It is a case universally Assented to. The existence of scarcity has been long known, its production of disease has been long foreseen. " Why, then," asks Mr. WAKLEY, " have effectual measures not been taken to supply food to the starving ?" And it is not too late yet. Why are not effectual measures now taken for providing every starving man, in whom starvation has not yet produced disease, with food that may yet be in time to prevent it? And Mr. WAKLEY lays hold of the defect of the Irish poor-law system, which does not provide the means of relieving the destitute immediately, without first bringing him into the workhouse. Mr. P. SCROPE has also ably enforced the necessity of making some alteration in the provision of the Irish poor-law to meet the sad necessity 9f the present moment. This is not the time to cling to theories, when starvation and death threaten on every side. This is not the time to wait for the operation if the measures introduced by the Government with a view to providing employment, nor even for the distribution of those supplies of food which the Government have collected, and bythe collection of which Sir J. GRAHAM is so ready to justify himself to his country and posterity, by a state of things such as now exists in Ireland. The means should be At hand in every parish of providing immediate relief to the destitute, as it is provided by the relieving officers in Eng land. Till these means are given, the Government will not have done all their duty. This is what Mr. WAKLEY has urged upon the Government with his usual ability, and with a benevolence of which one would have thought his public life had afforded proof enough to protect him from the un handsome insinuations in which a Liberal paper has per mitted itself to indulge. We alluded in our columns of yesterday to the promised motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and entirely approved of its postponement until the all-engrossing, the vitally important topic of the day, the introduction of cheap food for the many, shall have been safely carried through its various stages to a triumphant termination, but we do not the less keenly feel the coll ilnperative necessity of an early and attentive investiga e causescdiooounbittntetaolythi.e,rat, so l arge a which have hitherto rendered so fair a y portion to r nin h o f t oure side don of G in iroenas,t Britain, Ireland tinh te fer tileun- source of ahembarrassment and difficulty.to the Government, than (as undoubtedly she of eought to be) her great strength and support. Th e Ireland have long suffered under the blighting effect s of misgovernmentttsha hope that t o h p a p t re a ss n i e o t n y ex n tended through ages of iniarul d a brighter cra is dawning upon both n a bolition of all political distinctions, thetans a removal un equal and unjust laws, which have hitherto rendered p os sessing so many high and noble qualities, so ready to focicoplpeople and appreciate any kind (we should rather say just) acts, di ssa ti s fied and insubordinate , will restore it to us wsai ; integral portion of o ur nation rather than a province. n d o fthat a all the Never was there,a time when acts of concession, cfjustice on our part could be rendered with a better grace. The visita tion cf PROVIDENCE has unhappily afflicted our Irish brethren with all the horrors of famine and of pestilence, occasioned by the deteriorated quality of the scanty provisions retained for home consumption ; and this, be it remembered, at a time when they are exporting to oar shores large quantities of the finest description of esculents. Our Government, with the emotion and approbation of persons of all classes, varieties, and shades of politics through out the country, are anxiously seeking for and ready to adopt any means to alleviate their distress—to extend the warmest sympathy and the most disinterested friendship to the sufferers—amply sufficient to testify to a people of such high and generous impulses the true character of our feelings, towards them—that we do not wish in any re spect to enact the part of a superior, but in all things to make them part and parcel of ourselves in full and perfect equality—that we are actuated by a laudable and anxious desire to remove their grievances and to render them complete justice, to develope their energies, and to bring their great national resources into full and perfect operation. But much remains still to be done before this happy con summation can be attained, and gladly do we hail the exist ence of an improved spirit amongst our legislators in the manner in which they discuss the affairs of our sister island. Men of the highest and most exalted talent, of compre hensive intellect, have shaken off many of the antiquated prejudices which formerly hung around them, and prevented the free exercise of their faculties; they can now give full liberty (unrestrained by considerations of party ) to their nobler feelings; the Government, and many of the most intellectual of what was formerly termed the Conservative party, have happily emancipated themselves from the thraldom of the more bigoted and intolerant of their associates, from the sup posed necessity of acting with whom, and keeping them selves united as a party, their better feelings were formerly fettered and enchained. Already a measure has been brought forward to sweep off the last remnants of the penal cede which so long disgraced our statute-book, and it was received with the almost unanimous approbation of the House. True it is that some little opposition was manifested, but it was of the faintest description, and appeared to have been given rather as a protest against the measure than with any well-grounded hope of resisting it in its progress. Indeed, we should doubt the efficacy, the justice of any measure which was not greeted by some such exhibition. And now that this improved spirit is animating the national councils we entertain the sanguine expectation that but a short while will elapse before we shall witness its happy fruits—that where discontent and anarchy now prevail, contentment and peace will become their substitutes—where poverty and its attendant miseries have attained a rank and spurious growth, wealth and its cheerful adjuncts will supply their place—where the assassin now lurks, the hardy and peaceful yeoman will be found. And that Ireland at large, hitherto writhing beneath the tortures of misrule, will soon be converted into a thriving and prosperous portion of our dominions, and in place of reproach, will reflect honour on the British Legislature. We have received Madrid journals of the 10th, which left little doubt that a speedy change of Ministry was certain, and this event, by no means unexpected, has bees confirmed by an extraordinary express which reached Paris on Monday night, announcing that on the 12th all the Ministers had resigned. This is believed to be the work of CIIRLSTINA and NARVAEZ ; for the moderation of the latter, ever since the fall of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA'S Cabinet, and the acquies cence of the QUEEN-M(yrnms in the change, were all feigned, and displayed for some ulterior object of their plans. The public absolutely know nothing, but strong and well-founded suspicions are entertained that souse dark, mysterious scheme is in operation for the marriage of the QUEEN to one not acceptable to the Spanish nation. No doubt remains that a new Cabinet will be formed with NARVAEZ as Chief Mi nister. On the 10th the Three per Cents. closed at 293 at 30 days; the Five per Cents., at 21i at 30 days; and the Coupons, at 231 at 30 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the de bate on the motion of M. REMUSAT relative to public func tionaries having seats in the Chamber had commenced, but up to the hour of post it possessed no feature of the slightest interest. A Committee had been appointed on M. ST. PRIEST'S Bill for the reduction of the Five per Cent. Stock Of the Members six are Ministerialists, and consequently in favour of postponement, and the measure therefore may be regarded as settled, at least, for this session. A Bill for granting 300,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, for charitable pur poses, had been passed on a previous day almost unani mously. The late insurrection in Poland still forms the principal topic in several of the journals, but the remarks upon it are without either novelty or interest. The total amount of subscriptions in Paris up to Saturday, was 43,000 f., and those in the provinces already known were reckoned at 7,000 f, making altogether 50,000 f. (2,0001.) We are glad to find that the accounts received from the United States of the manner in which the new tariff of Sir ROBERT PEEL was received at New York and Washington, has given satisfac tion at Paris. This is a good sign for the continuation of peace between England and France. War, even among men that at one time belonged to the war party, is becoming unfashionable, and the blessings of peace begin to be estimated at their real value, The Constitutionnel, adverting to the accuunts from America, says :—" They afford an additional argument for the advocates of peace, and the most powerful that can be urged in an American assembly, for it is founded on self-interest; but the next ar rivals will tell us whether the impressions of the first day were fugitive, or whether they have remained permanent in the minds of the American statesmen." The arguments of the (barrier Francais, a journal not partial to England, might be put forth by any peace society in England. We are much pressed for space, but the article is too good to be abridged : " It is long since political 'economists have said to their Govern ments—grant us commercial liberty, free trade with all nations, and we in our turn guarantee to you, in the name of the science of which we are the advocates, that the liberty which you bestow as a gift on humanity, shall not meet an ungrateful return ; we guarantee that it shall successively remove all the causes of trouble, disorder, and antagonism, which it is your duty to combat and destroy ; we gua rantee to you that there shall one day reign in the world, that golden age, which has been placed so mal-apropos in the past, and which in the future is the golden age of peace. These eco nomists have been scarcely listened to, and if they have been, it has been only with the intention of stigmatising their ideas as dreams and utopian reveries. The first answer given was ' This liberty is impossible. Nations have been always imparked within their frontiers; they are accustomed to be separated, divided, dis united ; how then will you accustom them to unite and treat each other as brothers ?' The economists have not replied to this, they have done better ; they have allowed facts to speak for them selves ; they have shown populations drawn towards each other, uniting themselves by the bonds of interest and sympathies, and breaking by degrees those shackles which separated them ; they have shown secieties formerly scattered, and forming each a separate world, drawing towards each other in such a manner as to form a great whole, the parts of which, though distinct and different, are attached to each other by the In dissoluble bond of commercial relations. They have, in fine, pointed out the conskntly increasing amount of the imports and exports of each country, and have said, This is what will henceforth secure peace. War will not take place when one nation depends on another for its subsistence.' Events that are taking place on all sides prove the correctness of the opinion of those who have been hitherto designated as dreamers and utopians. The genius of war re coils before that of commercial liberty. We have, for instance, just received from the United States accounts in which the political economists will receive an admirable confirmation of the excellence of their principles, in which they will find the an nouncement of a signal victory, which the application of their prin ciples is on the point of giving to the cause of peace. After remaining for a month without any news from England, the Americans re ceived by the Cambria tha financial plan proposed by Sir Robert Peel. This great measure which has put an end to the old system pursued in England, and inaugurates in the world the era of commer cial liberty, has caused a complete revolution both at Washington and at New York. All warlike ideas, even by the most ardent adversaries of England, were immediately laid aside. The language of the press, hitherto so threatening, has become completely pacific. The Oregon question may be considered to be, if not arranged, at least in a fair way of settlement. This, we repeat, is a victory of which the friends of freedom have a just right to be proud. In England, the accounts from America have caused general satisfaction, except amongst the old protectionist party. Fee this party, already half vanquished, and which will to morrow have disappeared, the blow is painful. If the news !from America had not been favourable, the protectionists might perhaps have succeeded in causing the postponement of the reform of the corn-laws ; perhaps they might have succeeded in causing its re jection by the House of Lords. But how can they now struggle against a measure which, by giving the people food at a cheap rate, will secure peace to England? All opposition is henceforth impos sible."

This case stood on the paper to-day by special arrangement. Mr. BETHEL!, at the sitting of the Court, stated that, so far as the defendant Mrs. Levy was concerned, he would not trouble his friend Mr. Wakefield to address the Court, as the answer, he was bound to confess, was too strong for him. As to the other defendant, Lewis, he had not seen his answer, but he would look into it by to-morrow, and tell his Learned Friend, Mr. Stuart, what he thought of it. Mr. STUART thought that his Learned Friend, Mr. Bethell, would find the answer of Lewis as strong as that put in by Mrs. Levy. Mr. WAKEFIELD—Then the order, as far as Mrs. Levy is concerned, is made absolute? Mr. BETHELL—Yes, and as to Lewis the case will stand over till to-morrow. ANDREWS V. LOCKWOOD. The remainder of the morning was occupied with the arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon a plea to a bill of revival. The question in the case is merely one relating to the practice of the Court, and presented no feature cf the least public interest. VIARLBRO-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Wm. Murray, James Smith, Thomas Munroe, Wm. Keefe, Edward Barker, and Henry Dwyer, were charged with the following outrage : Between the hours of three and four o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoners, with a mob of about forty or fifty others—the greater part of them armed with formidable bludgeons —were parading St. Giles's, stopping every person they met, and demandin g th a t • money should be given them, on account of its being " St. Patrick's-day." They also en tered several shops and demanded money, and on meeting with a refusal they attempted to extort it by intimidation, brandish ing their bludgeons in a menacing manner, and threatening, if money was not given to them, to break and destroy the shop and the goods in it. In Dudley -street the prisoner Barker struck a poor man who refused to give him a half penny. Ultimately the prisoners were secured by the police. Dir. MALTBY asked if they were known? The police Aid. they were all bad characters; some of them were convicted thieves. _ _ _ They were ordered each to find two sureties in 151. for their appearance at the SEssions, to answer any indictment that might be preferred against them. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. SUNDERLAND GAS BILL. Mr. WA.WN moved that the Committee on the Sunder land Gas Bill have leave to proceed with two selected Mem bers, and to appoint another Chairman. After considerable discussion amongst several Hon. Mem bars the motion was withdrawn. SUNDERLAND DOCKS BILL. Mr. BELL moved that the Committee on the Sunderland Docks (re-committed) Bill have leave to proceed on Thurs day, at three o'clock, with two selected Members only. The motion was agreed to. SECOND READINGS. The following Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed, viz. :—Nottingham, Mansfield, ar.d i'did land Junction Railway; Southampton Port and Harbour; Somersetshire Midland Railway; Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway (Pontop and South Shields Railway Pur chase). Captain PECHELL presented a petition praying the I louse to appoint a select Committee to inquire into the justness of the claims of the British Legion during the Spanish war. POOR LAWS (IRELAND). On the order of the day being read, Mr. POULETT SCROPE said, perhaps he might be al lowed to express a few observations on the Irish poor-laws, as he had had some experience on the subject. In 1827 the first provision for the destitute poor of Ireland was first car ried into law. The machinery of the poor-law in Ireland was nearly similar to what it was in England. They had a regular set of officers—wardens similar to our relieving offi cers, and workhouses were attachod to each union. The sub stantial difference between the English and the Irish poor law consisted in the giving of in-door relief to the paupers in England, which was not done in Ireland. He hoped that the House would come to the opinion that the first resource of the peeple of Ireland, after the failure of the potato crop, was their crop of oats; and if that crop had been properly managed, it would have been sufficient to pro vide against any emergency. He hoped the encouragement afforde by Government to the importation of American corn would be beneficial to Ireland, and that enough corn would be speedily collected to meet the present necessity. He had seen with great warm the enormous extent of exports of oats and other kinds of corn which had taken place from Ireland since the failure of the potato croin He found on a reference to the returns, which would be in the recollection of the House, that up to the sth of February last the imports of corn into England from Ireland amounted to 258,000 qrs. of wheat, 701,000 cwt. of flour, and 82,000 qrs. of barley, making, on a rough calculation, something worth nearly a mil:ion of money. Nearly 1,000,000 qrs. of cats had been exported from Ireland since the failure of the potato crop last harvest, and that system of exportation was going on still. We were now in the middle of March, and during the last six weeks since the production of the returns, the exports had no doubt been going on in the same ratio. He hoped, however, that some means had been taken to store up the corn ex ported, so that the people of Ireland might still be enabled to obtain the food they had been most used to. At the time of the failure of the potato crop, an if it had been especially ordained by Providence, there was a most bountiful harvest of oats. Government had under taken to be responsible that the people in Ireland should not starve, but they woule have done better to have left that responsibility to the local authorities in Ireland. The House had heard from the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government that he placed great reliance on the voluntary subscriptions and assistance of the landowners. That was a very brittle and frail dependence. He (Mr. I'. Scrope) knew that in many districts the landlords certainly did provide for their tenants; but there was a vast number of districts where the landlords were receiving their full rent, and would not return one farthing towards the support of their tenantry. In the northern parts of Europe the first claim to the pruduce of the soil was admitted to be with the people who were engaged in producing it. He could not for a mo ment rely on the voluntary principle trusted to by the Right Hon. Baronet, for even during the present state of distress in Ireland, accounts reached them every day, that the evic tion of tenantry was still going on. Their cabins and houses were levelled, and they themselves turned out to swell the increasing mass of destitution and misery in the towos of Ireland. He had just seen a statement of a most harrowing descripion of what had taken place in Roscom mon. It stated the people were continually being turned out from from their houses. He had himself read, no later than yesterday, that 447 wretched beings had been ex pelled from their homes. In one case a man was lying ill from a fever, and his entreaty, that the walls of his hut should be allowed to stand, in erder that he might have some shelter, was refused. In another cass, a poor woman, with her child in her arms, was not allowed time to escape from the hut, but as she was running out the beam fell, and, as he (Mr. P. Scope) understood, killed her child in her arms. It was to prevent these cases, and to introduce the principle of compelling the landlords to take some means of providing for their tenants that he stirred in the matter; for while there were hundreds of these cases in progress it was necessary to act. He would refer them to what took place in Mullingar, where nineteen families were evicted from their tenures, and in Mallow forty persons halt been expelled, and prayers had been offered up in their chapel for patience to enable them to bear their inflictions. Sir J. GRAHAM asked where the Hon. Member obtained his information ? Mr. P. SCROPE said (as we understood) from the public journals. He could, had he wished, have referred to num bers of blue books to prove the misery that existed, but he did not think such a course necessary. The system had ex isted for years, and it was now time to give the people some refuge and guarantee against starvation. Otherwise they had no chance but to increase the number of harrow ing cases that had been already brought forward. That would be the case if boards of guardians were compelled to maintain their poor, but it was well known that in Ireland such was not the case. In the report of the Poor-law Com missioners for 1845 there was a case of a men who had ap plied to the guardians of Carrick-on-Shannon, but was refused every relief, and the consequence was that the individual died on the highway, and remained a spectacle during the whole of the following day (Sundae ). The Com missioners had very properly reprimanded the guardians on that account, but they had not provided any adequate remedy for the evil, and What he (Mr. Scrope) wished to see was a compulsory power exercised to oblige the guardians to give relief. He was aware that the workhouse was opened, but all the workhouses in Ireland were totally inadequate to the reception of the numerous applicants who would present themselves for relief. All the workhouses together in Ireland would not accommodate more than 9i,000 persons, and he thought, therefore, that relief should be applied in the shape of employment. To further such assistance they might bring in a Bill for recovering the waste lands. net the bog land, but the large quantity of waste lands which every part of Ireland presented for cultivation. The Members for Ireland might talk of confiscation arising from the poor-rate. But what was it? Why, in Ireland the poor-rate was enly Gd. in the pound, while in England it was 2s.—(No, no.) No; why he had known in some in stances the poor-rate to amount to 10s., 125., and even 19s. in one case. Such being the case, he thought the local authorities ought to be called upon to assess an equal rate upon all the inhabitants, and thus ra i se a f un d for providing that employment which, in thi s emergenc y, wsjh.aoGsursladobaabbrneslolbuhsteaelLetndheecineostsathhries m atter; but he beli eve d th a t the yr day talked as if some mys t er y . The Right H on. B aronet (Si r institution of a sound poor-law would save the necessity for any such ur.candid proceeding, and would prevent all those outrages by which the country was at present disgraced. He did not ask for a permanent measure, but he did wish that the burden should in the first place be thrown on the local authorities, and then, according to circumstances, to provide for the future. He believed that, even under the present pressure of famine and want, the rate required would not be more than elevenpence in the pound. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, in seconding the motion, said he did not rise for the purpose of offering the least obstruction to the measures that had been introduced by her Majesty's Ministers, but he felt it necessary on that occasion to offer a few observations, as being connected with the sub ject. The Government had taken upon themselves the re sponsibility of providing for the wants and distresses of the destitute people of Ireland, for which undertaking he gave them every credit.—(Hear, hear.) They had substantial proof, however, that the measures introduced by the Government were not sufficient to meet the exigencies of the people of that country.—(Hear, hear.) If they were sufficient, why was it that they had so many reports laid on the table of that House, all showing that disease and famine were extending themselves?—(Hear.) Such, he took for granted, wad a proof that the measures pro posed were insufficient. For a number of years past the measures recommended by Committees and Commissions, in reference to Ireland, had not been adopted by that House; and his (Mr. Crawford's) opinion was, had they been attended to and adopted, there would not exist the misery and distress that at present prevailed in that country. Therefore, he felt it was their duty to force on the Government the con sideration of those measures that had been suggested, with a view to remedying those evils.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Honourable Gentleman at the head of her Ma jesty's Government, in introducing his measure, stated that it would be impossible for him to proceed without the aid of local support; in fact, that he depended much on voluntary help. Now, he (Mr. Crawford) did not mean to cast the slightest imputation on the landlords or gentry of Ireland, as he was aware that amongst them there were many kind hearted and benevolent gentlemen, but he should, at the same time, say that he had not a doubt that many of them would not come forward to do their duty by the people; and, there fore, it was the Government were called on to make a provi sion for such necessity. But be should also observe, if the landlords were expected to do their duty, they should get every facility for doing it.—(Hear, hear.) The measures recommended to that House should be adopted, such as giving relaxation of entail to tenants fir life, as a compensa tion for the improvements made by them.—(Hear. hear.) For nearly two years the report of the Landlord and Tenant Commission had be:n lying in abeyance, and nothing had been done; and though Government had introduced Bills for the amelioration of Ireland, yet he wanted to see a power given for the general improvement of the country.— (Hear.) The Bill at present before the House only pro vided for one description of disease (fever); it made no provi sion for the various other diseases mentioned in the reports. There could be no doubt that the ejectments referred to had also taken place ; and he therefore suggested that the 1 1 Government should take up the waste lands, which would afford scope for the exercise of labour and yield ample re muneration to the labouring classes. It was necessary that the Government should assume a bold front, and take upon themselves the power of making such important alterations with regard to the titles of land as the nature of the case re quired.—(Hear.) As to relieving the poor of Leland by the application of the present system of poor-laws, it was impossible; and unless the guardians were permitted to ad minister out-door relief under the authority of the Commis sioners, in such cases as the circumstances required, the diffi culties could never be remedied. He should conclude by seconding the motion of the Hon. Gentleman who preceded him.—(Hear, hear. ) Sir J. GRAHAM said that he felt he was labouring under very many and great disadvantages in replying to the ob servations of Hon. Members on the subject of Ireland, in consequence of the absence of his colleagues who were more immediately connected with that country, but at the same time he was anxious to state frankly to the House the opit nions which he entertained with reference to the important question which had, he thought, been rather unnecessarily brought under discussion by the instruction which the Hon. Member (Mr. P. Scrope) had put upon the paper. He at the same time believed also that it was barely within the rules of the House that such an instruction should be allowed upon this question. This measure was exceedingly limited in its nature, for although important, it was precise in its ob jects. It was for the temporary relief of cases of fever arising from the present unhappy circumstances of Ireland, and the construction which they mu st necessarily put on the resolution of the lion. Member would rain the potion of , relief to not only the afflicted, but:to the able-bodied poor of Ireland who were out of the union workhouses. His instruc tion was to relieve all the destitute poor out of the union houses who might be in danger of perishing from want. . Mr. POULETT SCROPE said that if the precise words of his instructions did not sufficiently convey his meaning, he had, he thought, sufficiently explained his wishes in the re marks he had afterwards made. W hat he wished was, that the Government relief would be given in. the shape of work, and not in the form of a bounty. He would be quite willing to alter the words of his instruction. Sir J. GRAHAM said that this uncertainty sys one of the disadvantages of a departure from the rules of the House. The proper course for the Hon. Member would have been to have moved for leave to bring in a Bill to meet his wishes. The Honourable Member, indeed, expressed his willing atess to . alter the framing of his instruction but that would not amend the matter, for they were not that day met to cansider the propriety of adding to or amending the poor. law in Ireland, neither were they met to consider an other subject of great social importance, he meant the rela tions between landlords and tenants; for if they discussed these questions they would be anticipating the motion of hich the Noble Lord the Member for London had given notice for after Easter, namely, the general condition of the people of Ireland ; and it would be otherwise imprudent to prematurely discuss these questions, inasmuch as they lay at the root of all their difficulties respecting Ireland. The time, he thought,- was unfit for considering these important subjects, but he could not refrain from com menting upon one or two of the observations made by the last two speekets. The Hon. Member who had introduced this m-tion complained that the measure under considera tion had not been introduced sufficiently early, when they could have had time to give it their full consideration. He could only explain the reason why the Bill was not earlier introduced by referring Hon. Members to the circumstances which had led to the resignation of her Majesty's Govern ment, and its reconstruction in a short time after, and it was not until the Government, as it at present existed, was constituted, it was not until the middle of the month of December that they could even consider what Bills should be introduced, and surely Hon. Members would allow that it was a matter of absolute necessity that the Imperial Pare 'lament should not be summoned until the objects which would be brought under their notice had been carefully con sidered and determined upon. He trusted that this expire nation would be satisfactory to the House and to the Hon. Member. The Hon. Member laboured under a misappre bension when he thought that there existed at present no law for the relief the poor in Ireland. There existed under the law introduced by the Noble Lord opposite four .pro visions to that effect—first that persons in a state of destitution and afflicted with disease should be taken into the workhouses, next that they might be removed to the fever hospitals; but as these, in some instances, were at some twenty or thirty miles distance, and as some of their diseases might be of an epidemic character, he considered that provision as a very imperfect one. The third provision was one which enabled the guardians to erect fever hospitals in thei r vicinities, and the fourth provision was one which enabled them, in the absence of any temporary erection, to hire build ings for the purpose of admitting fever patients. He might say that, generally speaking, there was no reason to complain 'of any unwillingness on the part of the guardians to give every assistance to those who were afflicted with fever, but within the last few weeks Government had received information from the Executive Government in Ireland reporting that Myer had very greatly increased in consequence, he supposed, of the scarcity of foot, and the unwholesome quality of it: .Ap prehension had been entertained that the existing law would be found too limited in its working, and therethre it was, that Government had thought proper to introduce the present Bill. The Honourable Member complained that :he had not taken the trouble of sufficiently explaining the provisions of the Bill, and the sources from which the funds necessary for its being carried into effect were to be supplied. He had, he believed, explained on a former occasion that the expenses would be 'borne ' partly by the public, and partly by the ratepayers. Power was also given to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, on the representation of the Central Medical Board in Dublin, to require guardians to erect hospitals or to hire buildings for fever patients, where they would receive medical attendance and such medical appliances as their unhappy condition required. The Hon. Gentleman also complained that Government should have foreseen the evil and prohibited exportation of wheat from Ireland, with a view to meet the apprehended famine. Mr. P. SCROPE explained that he intended only to say that Government should have reserve stores of provisions where the danger of famine was most inconvenient. Sir J. GRAHAM said the Hon. Member's explanation left matters as they were. If Government had prehibited•the exportation of corn from Ireland he apprehended that the con dition of the country would not be in any way improved. It was not to be denied that either proposition of the Hon. Gentleman would have raised the price of provisions on the poor man. A more dangerous propositioncould not have been proposed, and it would have inflicted an evil only second to that which would have been caused by checking the exportation of corn from Ireland.—(Hear.) With regard to the general eviction of tenants in Ireland, it was to be desired that the landlords in these extremities would exercise more than usual forbearance to their tenants. The sum of money already voted by the Government amounted to very nearly half a • million of money, and it should be applied without delay in the best possible manner, to afford the'wished-for relief. He was by no means inclined to differ with the Right Hon. Gentleman on the question of the im provement of waste lands in Ireland, and he would be most willing to listen to any suggestion he might choose to offer. But he came now to the most important question • which could be well considered, whether, under a pressure of a temporary calamity, it was expedient, hastily, and without deliberation, to alter the principle of the existing poor-law. The Hon. Gentleman had observed that the Government had taken a very serious responsibility upon themselves by not throwing the . burden of meeting the calamity on local boards, but rather choosing to meet it out of the public funds. He (Sir James Graham) felt the responsibility—but after having given the measure the most anxious consideration, he felt that it would not have been consistent with his sense of duty, to recommend the adoption of any other course than that which had been adopted. It was their bounden duty not to legislate for Ireland with reference to English feeling, and still less with reference to English law ; but they were bound to legislate with reference to Irish feeling and to Irish law, end it was hardly necessary for him to state that the principle of daily work, as compensation for relief, which had been established in England since the reign of Queen Elizabeth, had never been introduced in Ireland. In England no absolute want of food had far many years been felt; there had been a want of work experienced, but that was a calamity easily redressed. In Ireland very different habits prevailed ; alms giving prevailed more than in any other country in the world. The Roman Catholic religion is very prevalent, and the peculiar tenets of that religion attach the utmost importance to alms giving, and introduce into the social system a state of things decidedly in favoui of the poor. Now, circumstances of this kind ought act to be overlooked; besides, the Roman Ca tholic religion possessed an unmarried clergy, who devoted much of their time to the assistance of the poor.—(Hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) RAILWAY COMMITITES. (THIS DAY) Group IX. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; Lord Worsley in the chair. • The CHAIRMAN wished to know if the counsel had made any ar rangement as to the Bills to be considered together in relation to the application of Mr. Talbot yesterday, respecting the consideration of the Caledonian (termini and branches) In conjunction with the otter three Bills. In answer to this, it was intimated that nothing further was done in the matter, and that it was understood the Bill referred to would not be proceeded with. The Committee then resumed the further consideration of the MDINSITZZ 1-I J 1.1113 GZASGOW AMEN D.• 11.Zif laktill‘TCZlES. Mr. Miller was recalled and examined respecting the Queensferry branch. He said the estimate of cost was 13.5,0001., of which 10.0001. was for land. The amount of land was sixty-six impenal acres There was a tunnel 1,556 yards in length, through the coal forma tion. The worst gradient was one in sixty, at the Queensferry ter mination. This could be easily worked, as similar gradients existed at the Grand Junction Liverpool station, and at the Euston-square station; - the latter was one in seventy. 2s.to accidents occurred on similar gradients. There was at present a considerable passenger traffic, there being three or four coaches, and P might be much in. ci eased. The object was to bring the carriages of the train on to the ferry at a level. By extending the tunnel the gradient could be im proved, but the expense would be very great. The Committee expressed a desire to hear some other engineer on the practicability of the gradient, and the further consideration of the Bill was postponed in order to hear Mr. Brunel on the point. TZIE GETTEIZ.S.X. TRIO/UNITS il-ND GLASGOW HAUBoun. This Bill WAS then proceeded with, and witnesses on behalf of the scheme called. Mr. Charles Gray, deputy-chairman of the Glasgow River Trust, was first called and examined. He said it would be a great conve nience to approach the harbour by rails, but the attempts hitherto made were defeated because it was found that the schemes proposed would seriously interfere with the general traffic. It was this that caused the proposition of last year to be defeated in its main features. The present sehenie would obviate the difficulty, as it approached the harbour at a point that would not in the least degree Interfere with the general traTfic of the harbour. The other two schemes did not approach the harbour at such, a good point. The one was too high, the other too low. The Grand Junc tion was B 9 far up that the rails would interfere very much with the general traffic ; and the Tedal Basin and the terminus of the Cl tsgow Harbour Mineral was so low down, that they would inter (era with the vessels passing up and down the river. The General Terminus Company had purchased the land for their purposes from the River Trust, and the latter were in support of the scheme as the best means of approaching the harbour without interfering with the general traffic. The sale of the land had been unanimously con firmed by the musters at one of their meetings. Cross-examined by Mr. CARROL, on the part of the Glasgow Harbour Mineral—The position of the llosbour Mineral Company was decidedly objectionable, as it was too far down the river. It was further down, than the proposed docks of the River Trust at Stob Cross, He did not think it was neeessary to separate the mineral from the other traffic by different harbours ; it could be done in the same harbour. The vessels at present lay on the south side in tiers of three and four deep, and the traffic was very great. The river opposite the general terminus was 480 feet, and in the best part of the river. He had never opposed the laying down of rails on the quays, provided they did not interfere with the general traffic. Cross-examined by Mr. HILL, on the part of the Glasgow Harbour Grand Junction CoMpany. Ilkr, considered the general terminus was the proper medium for approaching the harbour. The' River Trust was not bound to the general terminus beyond the agreement come to In the purchase of the land., He did r.ot know how many of them were shareholders. He only knew two or three gentlemen who were shareholders. The length of quay on the, south side was 3,700 feet. He had ten shares himself, and bought them at 91. to 101. premium. He believed they were still at that. GROUP XIV. The Committee appointedio — ascerrain the merits of the respective Bills comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual hour this morning, in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, and proceeded with the case of the zrorail rei:Erv:v Lzr4E. The first witness called was Mr. Vignules, the engineer of the line, who stated that he was the engineer of several large and im portant lines. He first looked out a line in North Kent in the autumn of 1839, and that project had since been resumed more than once. Plans were deposited for the scheme in 1841 and 1842. His experience of the county bad made him thoroughly ac quainted with the district of the North Kent Railway long before the commencement of last year. In 1836, he re-surveyed a line for Colonel Langan,who bad planned out a railway through North Kent, but that scheme fell through, and It was not until 1839 that he surveyed the district on his own account. Neither of these projects was prmoted by the South Eastern Company, and he believed they would have been referred to Committees as com peting lines to the South-Eastern. In 1842 he laid out another line, promoted by Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmith, but it was ultimately aban doned. In the following year, just previous to embarking for Ger many, he looked over the county again, with a view of sketching out a line, and on his return from Germany in 1844, he de vised a plan for crossing the river Medway at Rochester. His plan was, for erecting a bridge which should unite the two advantages of a road traffic and a railway bridge. The trustees of Rochester-bridge were at the time anxious to rebuild a bridge across the river, and he thought this a favourable opportunity for publishing his plan. At this time, however, he only contemplated a line to Margate and Ramsgate, but subsequently, finding that he was followed by the South-Eastern Company step by step, he determined to extend the line from Chatham to Canterbury. A short time afterwards.the South-Eastern Company carried their line from Ash ford through Canterbury to Margate and Ramsgate, and this induced him to abandon for the motnent that portion of his line going in the same direction. The South-Eastern Company commenced surveying for a North Kent line in 1b44, long atter he had enterer upon his own surveys, and long alter. the prospectus of his own project had been published. The first notification the South-Eastern Company published was put forth in June, 1844, when they stated Mgr illtelltl9l2 to make II line from London to Gravesend, and trout Gravesend to Rochester and Maidstone. In the autumn of 1844, he settled his line from Chatham to Chilham, but it was thrown out last year. At this time he contemplated extending the line from Ceilham to Canterbury, and a fork to Deal and 'Aver, but the plans and surveys wero not in a sufficiently forward state to justify it being brought before Parliament. The South-Eastern Company also introduced a scheme into Parliament last session, for a line from London to Chilham, n Welt was also thrOwn out. Since the close of last session he had re-surveyed his line, and added a London station, which he did not contemplate last year, and now he thought it was perfect and complete in every respect. The London terminus was about a quarter of a mile from the river at Southwark-bridge, but there was an existing scheme for extending the line across the bridge into the City, and of another for carrying the line on to Waterloo-bridge. The station would be in Union-street, in the Borough, at the point where it crossed the Southwark-bridge-road, and the spot was exceedingly well adapted for a railway terminus, both as regarded being well circumstanced for immediate room and future extensions. The line passed nearly due south to Walworth,where it crossed the canal and struck through Peckham and Camberwell. It then ran in the direction of Black heath to the north of Telegraph-hill, and crossed the Croydon Rail way a short distance from the New-cross station. At this point there was a short junction, which gave an access to the Loudon-bridge stati n, to Portsmouth, to Brighton, and to Southampton. After passing the Croydon Hallway, the line passed the Raven's Pond Valley, and then the line was to extend under Blackheath by means of a tunnel. At the end of this tunnel there was a loop commenced, which ran through Woolwich' and joined the main line at. Plump stead-common. The station at Woolwich was in the centre of the town, near William-street and Powes-street, and was well and con veniently situated. The main Ine was. continued by tunnelling under A oolwich-common, of 1,060 yards in length ; and here a branch might be struck out for accommodating her Majesty's arsenals and deck-yards, crossing Plump: tead-common, a thickly populous neigh bourlscod, the line ran through Welling, Bexley, and Bexley, heath From thence the line passed Crayford to Dartford. The line of the South-Eastern Company, which was 24 miles in length, avoided the population of the district, while his own ran through the country where the population was centered, and was only 14 miles in length. Both lines passed from Dartford to Gravesend in the 'same direction. At Gravesend the South-Eastern line joined Gravesend and Rochester. His own line passed through Milton and under the chalk-hills by means of a tunnel, and then entered upon the banks of the 3ledway on a viaduct and crossed the Medway at a considerable elevation. He proposed to effect the passage of the Medway by means of a bridge which united the qualities of a road and a railway bridge. It was upon three arches, the centre one 186 feet span, and the two side ones 180. The Rochester side of the bridge would be on a screw, and might be converted into a draw bridge. His plan was approved of both by the Admiralty and the local authorities, in preference to the bridge of the South-Eastern Company ; in fact the Government would not allow any bridge to cress the river which was not on his own plan, but, independently of this fact, the South-Eastern Company could not make their bridge within the limits of the deviation line marked on their Parliamentary plans. GROUP XV. This Committee met in the Vice-Chancellor of England's Court, at twelve o'clock ; present, Mr. O'Connell, Chairman ; Sir R. Price, Captain Hatton, Mr. Hindley, and Mr. Mackinnon. SOUTEI-MISTERN (TuNinzinGE veriLmis TO .111ISTUMS). This Bill was scud sod the clauses ag;:cal to. LONDON AND BRIGHTON (EAST Cenria- SVEAD BsLt'►_NCH). SOUTI - 1-1111STEILN ((O STONE TO EAST Gataziwrze. - Ax)), Mr. lltr.L, Counsel for the London and Brighton Company, said the branch whose merits he was to open before the ComMittee ran front East Grinstead towards the west, and came into the Brighton line at a place called Three Bridges ; and that being the point from which the Brighton line started to Horsham, there would be a straight line from Horsham to East Grimstead. This branch was in competition with a propiasal to make a line which from East Grinstead would run north, and come into the South-Eastern Railway about one and a-halt miles from the Godstone station. The branch from the Brighton line would be 6 miles 6 furlongs long, 'and be con structed eta cost of 80,0001. ; there were no ttumelling or engineering difficulties on the way. On the other hand, the South-Eastern branch would haVe to cross a deep valley by a viaduct, zupported on - 30 arches, each arch having - a span of 42 feet, and standing 76 feet high, the piers at the other end descending 20 feet deeper. The gra dient on that line would be 1 in 66. It was to cost, by their own estimate, 110,0001. As to the Brighton branch, he was sure that the connexion from East Grinstead with Uwe._ the county town, with Brighton and Newhaven, would be an 0101 ms • , Yillitage. By the Brighton branch there was a - straight line to Lewes; whereas, proceeding by the South-Eastern Railway, he mm Vli.o have t, go to Reigate, and from that to Horsham, before ho cella. it for the county town. It wit, of great importance to keep open the commu nication from the west eastward, as the supplies of corn and other products came from the west. It was unopposed except by the South-Eastern Company. . . _ Mr. MILLEa, for the Brighton Company, called witnesses to prove the traffic and the favourable feeling which prevailed in the district. Mr. Rastrick, engineer of the Brighton Branch, said, the Three Bridges stationwas 2914 miles distantfrom London-bridge. East Grin strad stood high, but there were no engineering difficulties to over come. The worst gradient was 1 in 88, but all of them were for short dis tances. The total of cuttings would be 601,000 feet, and of embank ments 367,912 feet. The engineering work would cost 70,0001., and the cost of the land, he believed, would be 9,9001. On the South- Eastern branch the gradients would be 1 in 66, or 80 feet per mils, and stretching a distance of 2% miles. Sub-Committee No. 2 The Committee met to-day at half-past twelve o'clock ; present, Sir J. Y. Buller (chairman), Mr. Bell, Mr. Walker, Mr. E. Yorke, and Mr. Bramstone. SURREY XR ON RP.XLWAY. The CIIAIRMAN said, that in the case of this Company the standing orders had been complied with. The Committee were of opinion that the Bill was simply of the third class, and that the provision 36 of the Act did not apply to it. C iIieIaYiSFORD AND DUEY. The Committee proceeded to consider this Bill, which was opposed. The object of this Bill was to construct a line of railway from Chelmsford to Bury, in length about thirty miles .; engineer, Mr. Thompson ; solicitors, Messrs. Chauntler and Westwood ; Parlia mentary agents, Messrs. Dyson and Co. The formal proofs were then taken, and from these it appeared that the subscription contract, which was three-fourths of the esti mate, was 820,0001. . . The first petition against the Bill c onsidered was from land owners along the line, making the usual general allegation that the standing orders had not teen complied with in different instances. Mr. Webster appeared in' support of the Bill, and Mr. Baker on the part of the petitioners. . . . The first particular allegation was, that the plans deposited with the clerk of the peace for Essex did not contain certain lands anU houses en the line. Evidence having been heard in support of the allegation, the Com mittee decided that in this case the standing orders had not been complied with. Two ether allegations to the same effect were sustained, and several others were adduced which the Committee found were not sustained. The next allegation was with respect to the increase of capital, and stated that there had been an Infraction of the standing order. The Committee found that the allegation was not sustained. This terminated the case for this petition. Sub-Committee No. 3. The members of this Sub-committee sat at twelve o'clock ; Mr. Agllonby in the chair. The first line on the list was the EAS'X'ER7,N7 COUNTX=S (HERT1 1 0.741,11 TO HUNTIZirGDOiV.) A good deal of discussion took place as to the order of procedure, in consequence of Mr. VeLables, who appeared for the promoters, applying fur a postponement of the proceeding, on the ground that as the real merits of the case were before the House of Lords in the case of the London and York, which had gone up there last session, and with which there was a competing line. Mr. COOTES, who appeared for the London and York, objected to the postponement, and said that the line having been referred to the Committee by the louse, the Committee must necessarily proceed with it. After a great deal of disco: !ion, The CHAIRMAN decided that the case should go on. The case wag accordingly proceeded with, and after the Committee bad investigated it, and the usual evidence had been adduced, the Committee decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. Sub-Committee No. t The Committee met at twelve precisely. Members present —Sir W. Heathcote (chairman), Mr. Shirley, Mr. Hope Johnstone, and Mr. Acland. The Committee proceeded with the p _talons against the 33I1C4E1NREAD, LATICASHIRE, AND CITZSIIIRM aUNCTIOLT. The petition of George and Charles Burgess stated that they het two houses, in respect of one of which they had received no notice, and their names were not inserted in the book of reference, although it would be taken in making the line. 31r. Coppock appeared for the petitioners. " It appeared that the petitioners had two houses at the corner of a street, one being in one street and one in the next. The two houses communicated, but had two doors, one in each street. A notice had been served with respect to one house only. ' The CHAIRMAN observed that this was equivalent to an objection that the petitioners had a house with a door in each of two streets, and had received no notice with respect to each door. The Committee rejected the allegation. The petition of Richard Yates, of Mercer-street, Warrington, was again brought before the Committee. PRITT, the agent for the Bill, argued that this petition did not state with sufficient clearness where the property was situated ;' : a notice had been served upon Richard Yates tar a house in Mercer street, and he was not aware that there were two persons of toe name of Yates in that street, or that Richard Yates had two bouseß. The promoters of the Bill had no means of ascertaining what house the petition alluded to, but by going to every house in Mercrr-street, knocking at the door, and asking whether Richard Yates lived there. The CHAIRMAN. thought the objection concluslye. The petitioners could not pretend that there was a sufficient description of the property. _ _ Air. Comm thought the promoters of the Bill ought to prove the service of two notices. The Committee, however, dismissed the petition. There was another petition, complaining that the petitioner had not been served with a notice in respect of a cottage and smithy in a court op the east side of Bridges . -street, Warrington. Mr. PetlT said that there were three courts leading out of the east side of Bridges-street, Warrington, and that this petition did not state in which court it was situated. He would not press the objection, however, as he found that the house was known to his clients, and that the petitioner had been served with a notice. The Cimmiuxie said that lie was very sorry to shut out a peti tioner on any point of form, as there might he a serious grievance, but where there was so loose and insufficient a description of the property, the petition must be rejected. There was no excuse for the insufficiency of description, as the petitioners had every opportu nity of referring to the plans, and they could very well describe the property by the number given in the plan. The Committee, therefore, refused to admit the petition. The petition of John Broadhurst, and others, met with no better fate, the description being equally insufficient. Sub-Committee . No. 6. This Committee re-assembled at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock this day. Present, (Captain Jones (cliairmAii), Mr. ii,des, and Lord Ebrington. THE MIANIT, AND ELGXN was the drat case called on. It appeared that a petition had been presented against the Bill by certain parties, but, as it was not lodged in due time, the Com mittee, of course, refused to entertain it. The object of the promoters of the Bill is the construction ofa rfiil n Item Aberdeen by Banff to Elgin. The length is 74 miles, and the estimated cost is 694,0601. Engineer, Thomas Grainger, Esq. ; local engineer, Alexander Smith, Esq. ; Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Richardson, Connell, and Loch ; solicitors, George Monro, Esq., Edinburgh, and Messrs. Stronech and Grainger, Aberdeen. The preliminary proofs having been put hi, the Committee decided that the standing ordere had been complied with. EAST DZIZEISIAZVI AND zron:garzcs. The promoters seek to construct a railway from East Dereham to Norwich. The length of the line is fifteen miles ; the estimate, 160,000/. ; and the amount lodged in the Accountant-General's hands, 122,0001. Engineers, William A. Borthwick, Esq., and Tollett, Esq.; Parliamentary Agent, James Coppock, Esq. ; solicitor, Mr. Drake. The CuaramlN discovered that there was a clause in the .Bill which would empower the Company to lease their line to the North of Norfolk Railway Company, or to any other company "now, or hereafter to be, formed ;" and he doubted whether the promoters could introduce_ a clause into their Bill to give powers to another company not yet formed. The room' was cleared of strangers, and after the absence of about halt an hour we were re-admitted, when it appeared that the Com mittee had overruled the objection of the Chairman. The case was then further proceeded with. and, at the conclusion, the Committee decided that the promoters had complied with the standing orders. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Room No. 3. This Committee met at twelve o'clock. Mr. Aglionby (the Chairman), Mr. Thornely, Mr. Aldam, and Mr. Broadley, were present. EASTERN COUNTIES (HERTFORD TO HUNTINGDON). Mr. Venables appeared for the promoters, and Mr. Coates en the part of the opposition. Mr. VENABLES made an application that the consideration of this Bill should be postponed for a month as it was at present before the House of Lords, in competition with the London and York line, and it would be inconYeident to go into the question befoie the decision of that Committee was known. Mr. Coanc.s contended that the grounds alleged by his Learned 'Friend were quits insufficient to warrant the postponement required. As Mr. Venables declined to proceed, the Committee decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. Room No 9. The members of this Cemmittee met this morning, and decided ail- in the cases of the 3lidland, Barnsley, Slidfield, and .Dewslatry R way, the North Wales Railway, the B u ctingliamshire Railway, and the West London Railway, that the stan(liNg orders ought to be is pensed with, and that the promoters should he allowed to prueted with their Bills. In the case of the Macclesfield and Licl:field Railway, the Com mittee decided that the standing orders ought not to be dispensed with. The decision in the case of the Welsh Midland Railway Was 105 poned until Friday next.
