CLOTH, 6 and 7 Victoria cap 65 Patronised by the Prince Consort, Princ ' e Geo . rge . of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the following distinguished visitors to this country:—The emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the King o f elgi u , the King of S axony , the King of Rolland, Prince Willi am Of Prussia, and further honoured by the continued patronage of all who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is Made of Llama Wool, a fabric rost agreeably soft and elastic to the touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it Corresponds in shades of colour. It is wry durable, and naturally a repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of execs l'ive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the attention of all. They can be purchased in London, of the Patentees only, at their Warerooras, 114, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill, TilE Public is respectfully cautioned that H. and D. NICOLL, Court Tailors, have never granted the Li cence to any other house in London of making and selling the LLAMA CLOTII REGISTERED PALETOT. The celebrity so instlY earned by this li g ht wa t er -p r oof a nd gentlemanly overcoat has nduced many otherwise respectable tradesmen to assume a simi larity of name, but in that only can it resemble the. true Paletot. It has been deemed advisable to state that the registered Paletot of Llama Cloth can only be purchased of the Patentees, in London, .... 11z *. H., J., and D.

" How we sho.ild live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fell threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although tearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of inimea curable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, Is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, o; human disappointments and their way.; of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the Issue thereof In their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the avaihnent hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The autnor's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

THE QUEEN DO WAGER. FROM • CORESPONDENT.) RAMSGATE, JUNE l ( s.—The Quee ß n Dowager having been pleased to select this port for embarkation for Ostend, a meeting of the in habitants was held a t-w days since to consider the best means of giving her Majesty a suitable reception on her arrival, and acknow ledging the honour conferred by this harbour having been selected. A unanimous wish prevailed that an address should be presented to her Majesty previous to her embarkation, If the same should be agreeable, to ascertain which a copy of the resolution was trans mitted to Earl Ilowe, from whom the following reply has been re ceived by the deputy:— " Marlborough House. June 13, 184 G. Sir,—l have not lost an instant in submitting your letter, with the enclosed resolution, to Queen Adelaide. " It has be, n received with deep gratitude; and I am charged to return her Majesty's beet acknowledgments for the affectionate feel lug which p. ompted the welcome proposed by the inhabitants of liamegate to the widow of their late King. Queen Adelaide, how ever, most oarticularly requests that all public reception may be avoided. It is her Majesty's wish, and, I regret to add, absolutely , necessary, in her delicate state of health, that all fatigue and excite ment be avoided on this occasion ; and the Queen will be very grateful to be spared the pain of declining to receive an address prompted by such a loyal and gratifying feeling.— I have the honour to be, &c. " To Samuel Sackette, Ego.. Deputy." " HOWE. The splendid steamer, the Blaek Eagle, has arrived In the hat boar, from 11 oolwieh, to convey the Queen to Ostend. The Porcupine steamer, Captain Bullock, will accompany : the Garland mail steam packetls also in attendance. The loyal party is sxpected to reach litunsgato by the South-Eastern Railway about to-morrow (TtLA day), and embark immediately. This town is filling fast with visitors. The facilities of railway communication, added to the continued fine weather, !Live termed to cause a greater demand for houses than hat been known for many years at this early Leriod of the season. The traffic with Ostend continues to cause additional bustle and amusement to the visitors, and adds mucit to the attractions of this favourite watering-place. RAILWAY SR ORE MARKETS.

The Committee on these Bills met as usual at eleven o'clock this morning in Room A, P.ew Houses of Parliament ; Lord Beaumont took the chair ; all the members were present. The evidence of Mr. W. Cubitt, as engineer to the Guildford, Chi chester, Portsmouth, and Fareham, was then taken. He was cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT, on the part of the Direct London and Portsmouth. Their Lordships were occupied nearly the whole of the remainder of the day with general evidence. MEAT GRIMSBY AND SHEFFIELD =MO TION EXTENSION. (Nos. I. and IL) The Committee of their Lordships' House, appointed to consider the merits of these two Bills, meaat eleven this morning in Room B (New Houses of Parliament). The Members are, Lord Zetland (chairman), the Marquis of Exeter, the Duke of St. Albans, and Lords Galway and Southampton. • Mr. Hope, Mr. PAGET, and Mr. DENCOUILT, appeared for the pro moters of the Bills, and, Mr. ALE for Mr. Mainwary ( land owner and other petitlottera against the line. There were three petitions : one from Mr. Mainwary, and two from the inhabitants of Barton and Barrow. There was also a fourth petition, on which no appearance was made. Mr. !lore, having addressed the Committee on the part of the promoters, called Mr. Charles Seely, a mill-owner near Lincoln, who gave general evidence in favour of the line, which be said would afford to the millers and malsters of England, a communication with the district about Lincoln, from which they were excluded by wait of communication. This would be a great advantage, as a large quantity of flour was cultivated in Lincolnshire. There was a very considerable traffic between Hull and Lincoln, for timber, &c. He, himself; expended about 100,0001. or 150,0001. per annum in corn, in the immediate neighbourhood. Lord Worsely, who stated that he was Chairman of the Company, was next called. He gave evidence as to the great necessity for such a line as the proposed, and the great advantages that would result from its formation. He was cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE. Mr. TEMPLE, in t'.e course et his cross-examination, suddenly stopped, and said that he understood that some arrangement had been made between the promoters and the petitioners; the result of which would he that the objections he was about to raise against the Bills, would be obviated. He withdrew the opposition on the part of Mr. Mainwary. Mr. PAGET then proceeded to call Mr. William Thorne, a pro prietor of land near Barrow, who gave general evi dence in favour of the line. The learned counsel was about to call the next witness, but on receiving some com munication from Mr. Parkes, the agent for the Bills, he observed that he had been told that he was occupying their Lordships' time uselessly, as Mr. Hope had re moved all opposition by private arrangement. Mr. Paeses said that there was but one petition which had not been disposed of in this manner, and he believed no appearance had been made on the part of the petitioner. He had seen the agent this morning, and that gentleman had told him that lie had received no communication from his clients for some time, and not having the necessary papers, he was not prepared to ep, ose the Bills. The agent subsequently came forward and confirmed this statement. All opposition being now removed, the Committee proceeded with the engineering and some other evidenceproformel. Mr. evidence Fowler, the engineer to the hue, gav e ' t h e usual engineering Mr. Parkes gave evidence on some points of form. The clauses were then adjusted, and the Bill passed. The Committee then rose, with the understanding that the Bills should be reported this evening. THE GLASGOW AND BELFAST UNION. The Committee met again this day, and proceeded with this case. The Committee expressed a wish that the evidence as to the general advantages of the line should be given. Provost Miller, of Ayr, Mr. Christie, Mr. Blyth, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Whitfield ; with other wit nesses, were briefly examined. The Committee then intimated that they would hear the evidence as to ti.e traffic. Mr. Marshall, of Leith, traffic accountant, was called, and shortly examined. He said that the income from passengers, goods, and minerals; he estimated at 29,100/. He had taken the rate of income on passengers at 150 per cent. This he considered to be a moderate allowance, as all experience had ahoy, the increase to be much more. The witness went into other details, proving that an adequate remuneration would be obtained by the working of the line. ahe Committee then, after a brief deliberation, declared the pre amble of the Bill proved. The clauses were then gone through. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP 11. CORNWALL DISTRICT, WEST CORNWALL The Committee mot at the usual hour, Viscount 3forpeth (chairman).

Mr. Tlorix proceeded to sum up the cas e on b ehalf of the pro moters. Ile reviewed at some length th e c h aracter of the line and the accommodation it would afford to the important mineral field of Dal mellingtcn ; to the a .ricultural produce of Kirkcudbright and Ayr shire; and to the sheep, cattle, and passengers passing to and from the two counties. Ilaving dwelt shortly on the character of the oppo sition to the scheme, which he submitted had not made out the case, he concluded by calling on the loairuittee to :arm the preamble of the Bill. The room was then cleared for a decision. On the admission of the parties, The eIIAIRIHAN intimated that the decision of the Committee WAS, that the preamble of the Bill had not been proved. GLASGOW AND BELFAST UNION. This line, which is unopposed, was then proceeded with. Mr. TALBOT opened the case on behalf of the promoters. The line was originally proposed to run from Ayr to Portpatrick, so as to con nect Glasgow and the %Vest of Scotland. with the North of Ireland. A portion of the complete line was however given up, and that which was now proposed to be made was the portion front Ayr to Girvan, a distance 01 2114 miles. There was a branch to Maybole, of three-quarters of anti e in length. Evidence was then called in support of the Bill. Sir David Bunter Blair, Mr. Hugh Miller, provost of Ayr, and Mr. lames Brown, of Maybole, generally deposed as to the benefits the line would confer upon the district through which it passed. Mr. Wylie, factor to the Duke and Duchess do Coigny, who have a large property in the neighbourhood, gave evidence as to the benefit the line would coiner on the town . and neighbourhood of Girvsn. 2.1 r. Whitfield gave evidence as to the coal-field in the valley of Girvnn. The outp orts at present was 40,000 tons, and a rail way would increase it to 100,000 yearly. ample enough for all Mr. Blythe, civil eng i neer, oeposed that the estimate of the line from Ayr to Girv an was 330,000/. This was the works, land, & c. There were .no engineering difficulties, the severest gradient being oue in ninety, curve radius of half a mile. and the sharpest is passenger s. sh'ars then clear e d f or a decision. was fo r of th e Parties. Mr. Miller, civil engineer. was exa m i ne d i n co rroboration. Mr. Martin estim a t e d the traffic as a local line at 25,1001. Of this l4 , CHAIRMAN intimat e d that the Committee had come to the oicT2,i decision i r'l l eo t oa liat the preamble of the Bill was proved. The •ommittee, however, in coming to that decision, wished it to be understood that the Glasgow and Belfast Ui;ion should not offer any opposition to the Ayrshire and Glasgow Railway in its entrance into Ayr, providing the Legislature should see the expediency of that Bill passing in another session The Committee adjourned till tomorrow at twelve o'clock. CROUP XIV. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re -assembled at the usual hour this morning, 3lr. Protheroe in the chair. 330 Vilit, AND DEAL.

It was contended that there was no immediate necessity tor such a line, and that, in the present depressed state of the capital market, it ought not to be sa: , ctioned by the Committee. The Commit ee postponed their decision till Monday next, when they propose to go into the South-Easter. end North Kent scheme. GROUP XVIII. _ . WESTERN DISTRICT (EXETER GREET WESTERN). -- Mr. B.

They resumed the consideration of the LONDON AND WINDSOR. Mr. Thompson, the engineer of the company, whose direct evidence in favour of the lin , was concluded yesterday, was now cross-exa mined at considerable length. In the course of the cross-examinati , n of Mr, Thompson, it ap peared that the promoters had not otdained the consent of the Me tropolitan Roads Commissioners to cross their roads upon a level. The Committee, after a long consultation, came to the opinion that, under such circumstances, it was useless to proceed further with the Bill ; they woivd, however, hear counsel in reply tomorrow.

The evidence related entirely to the traffic in these lines, and it was endeavoured to establish that the places to be accoulmodated by them were of more importance than those to be reached by the Birmingham and Oxford and other competing lines.

Evidence in support of the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton project, and evidence by the opponents that the line, if made, would not pay more than lsc. Bd. per cert., and that it was not called for by the wants of the districts through which It was proposed to pass, and that a better line, in an engineering sense, might be formed at a cheaper rate by a junction with the East Lancashire line north of Bury, and that two large viaducts at the Turton end of the branch line might be obviated, and at least 30,000/. saved in this item of the expenditure by incre as i ng t h e length , of the line about 100 yards, was adduced. . _ The case having been closed on the part of the opposition, ' Mr. MEREWETHER proceeded to address the Committee in support of the project, and contended that as the Bill was supported by local parties for the promotion of local objects, and not for pecuniary ad vantagea, that the Committee ought to pass the preamble irrespec tive of the damnatory evidence adduced against it. lie also held that there was sufficient traffic in the district to yield a higher revenue than that stated by the witnesses called for the opponents of the measure. The opposition, besides, was got up by by the East Lancashire, who were jealous of the project, al though they pretended it was a bad one, and not required in the locality.

The Committee on this group, which comprises the Swansea Vale, the Shrewsbury and Hereford, and the Xeath Valley lines, met to-day at one o'clock, when after the preliminary arrangements of ascertain ing who appeared Tor the several petitioners against the line, who are numerous, the Committee decided upon taking the Swansea Vale Railway first. The formal proof of compliance, with Mr. Duncombe's resolutions, as well as the general standing orders of the House was adduced, when Mr. F. BONSON, who appeared for the promoters, stated that this line was projected as an extension mineral railway, and for the pur pose of giving accommodation to the vale of Swansea, which is quite isolated, there being hills of from 500 to 1,000 feet high on either side A map, showing the geological features of the country was exhibited, on which it appeared that the bed of coal about Swansea, as indeed it always is, is deposited in a basin of limestone. Limestone is neces sary in the manufacture of iron ; and by breaking through the edge of the Swansea basin, a great advantage would be obtained in provid ing this article. The line has been twice surveyed before, but in conse quence of some works for the improvement of the port being in progress, the line could not be commenced until 1844, when It was seriously adopted. The main line is sixteen miles long, and evidence was adduced to show the particular features of it, but an opposition was offerred by the Swansea Canal Company. CIMr. Brain, ;one of the witness es , s t a t e d th at during the severe weather in the winter of the year before last, the canal had been kept open by the iron and coalmasters at their own expense, they employing upwards of a hundred men constantly in breaking the ice. The witness believed that the slow ness of the canal transit was prejudicial in the necessity which it induced for keeping large stocks of iron and coal at Swansea ; and he conceived that coal was injured by being kept long in such stocks, though be could not state an instance. The termi nus, as at present projected, would be at the top of the valley, and around it there would be a scattered population. at the base of a mountain with a valley winding round it. It ordi narily occupies sixteen or seventeen hours in carrying down a cargo 01 coal or iron, there being 24 locks between the works of the wit ness and the canal basin. On re-examination the witness stated that his boats, horses, and men were absent two days every voyage, while the journey by 'railway would be performed in an hour and a half at the most. He saw no objection to the makirr; of wharfs about the terminus, and the doing so would have the ad vantage of cheapening the wharf accommodation at Swansea, for his own part, of which he paid 1101. yearly. Ile conceived that the coal was better on the eastern side of the Towel than that on the western side, but the ground was not so favourable, and the means of corn munication are bad. To the Chairman of one of the Committees the witness stated that the injury sustained by coals, through the various means of tranship ment, was much greater than that by railroad, and that during the prevalence of long dry weather, the coal-owners were obliged to re duce their freight by one-seventh or eighth. Mr. Barber, principal mine agent for Sir Charles Morgan, who has much property in Glamorganshire and Caermarthenshire, stated the circumstances of the principle feeding branch, and that the tolls to be taken upon the Monmouthshire Railway do not exceed id. for coals and 1 d. per ton for iron ; the usual expectations of the in crease of traffic are quite likely to be fulfilled, and that this line is likely to become a very valuable link in forming a trunk communica tion with the interior, The Committee here adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP This Committeere-assernbled to-day, MIL at twelve o'clock, in Room 26, (New Houses of Parliament). Present, the lion. E. Lasedles (in the chair), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. R. Clayton, Captain Dalrymple, and Mr. Hiltiyard. SHREWSBURY AND BIRSTINGSLAVE. The evidence in favour of this scheme was again resumed this mot sing, Mr. Scott, the chairman of the Birmingham Canal Com pany, being the first witness. He stated that the rival schemes would pass over some of the most valuable coal-mines in Stafford shire, thus inflicting great damage, not only on the proprietors but the public at large. His evidence in other respects was similar to that previously laid before the Committee. Mr. Scott, cross-examined by Mr. H. ROBINSON (on behalf of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton) —He never instructed the engineer of the line to do his utmost to enter Wolverhampton en the same level with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, or Grand Junction lines. The level of this scheme at Wolverhampton had been taken with reference to the canal traffic and the traffic of the town, and not with reference to the competition with any rival schemes. He had no doubt that the line of the Oxford, &c. Com pany was surveyed previously to that of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham. os , i-examined by Mr. Coaaurr—He was aware that many iron masters, whom the rival lines would accommodate, had petitioned against this, and in favour of the other schemes. Re-examined —As soon as he saw the project of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton in the field he set about devising, with other gentlemen, the present scheme, and was convinced that it was much superior to its rivals; he saw that the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton project would not sufficiently ac commodate the people of Wolverhampton. There could be no doubt that people at Wolverhampton who wished to go to London would travel by this scheme because It had a direct communication with the London line. Mr. John Williams, ironmaster, Smethwick, then proved that this line would afford the best accommodation to the people of that district. Cross-examined by Mr. CocKettax, Q.C.—Was a considerable shareholder in this railway, but had no shares in the canal; his brothers had. He preferred this line, because it went nearer to his works than the other schemes. Re-examined—l think this/ line best adapted to the district generally. - Mr. Best, ironmaster, Dudley, considered the Shrewsbury, Bir mingham, and Stour Valley line the best adapted for the South Staffordshire mineral district. Cross-examined by Mr. Commons—He was aware that several ironmasters in the neighbourhood of Dudley entertained a different opinion. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line was - too high with respect to his works. Mr. Richard Bradley, ironmaster, Tipton, stated that his principal markets were London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, and that the line would give him a cheap and direct communication with those towns. From 9,000 to 10,000 lived close to the spot where the station of this line was proposed to be erected, at Tipton, whilst the station of the rival schould be a mst innvenient oe, beng from 18 to 24 feet heigm e w h. That would also co be merely n a goods station, the nearest passeng e r s t at i on being at Dudley. He was of opinion that the combination of this line with the canal would be most advantageous to the public. It would be impossible by any system of railway to accommodate all the mineral works. Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—His works were close to the Oxford &c. line, but in consequence of its being very high, it would be impossible to make use of it for tile carriage of his goods. lie was not aware that the Oxford &c. line would be on a level with the canal. There was a difference between the level of the two schemes Of 40 feet near Tipton. Cross-examined by Mr. CORBETT—His son might have signed a petition Mr himself and th• firm In favour of the South Stafford shire scheme. Mr. Smith, mining agent to Lord North, in the neighbourhood of Dudley, believed that this line would best accommodate that dis trict. In his opinion the public would be benefited by the union of this Company with the Itirmingham Canal Company. If this line were not sanctioned, parties going from Dudley to Birmingham would have to pass over four different railways, which would be most injurious to the public. He believed that the tolls on this line would be lower than that of its rival. The majority of the iron masters in the district through which this line would pass pre ferred it to its rival. This line would afford all the accommodation to be desired, without a six-mile clause. The Rev. James Prince Lee, Master of the Birmingham Grammar- School, said the station of this company in New-street, Birming ham, would cause the removal of a number of very objectionable houses at the back of the school, which was a very handsome build ing. The houses were a nuisance to the school. 31r. Malins, commissioner of the streets of Birmingham, stated that at a meeting of his collecgues held recently on the subject of these railways, it was resolved that the Shrewsbury and Birmingham would decidedly afford the greatest accommodation to the people of Birmingham. The town surveyor had also reported in favour of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company's proposed station. Cross-examined by Mr. RoinNson—Snowhill, in which street the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company proposed to erect their station, was one of the widest streets in Birmingham. New street, in which this company's line would be made, was one of the most fashionable streets the' e, but he did not think that the omni buses, &c., everlastingly passing to and from the station would cause any residential injury. The Committee intimated that they did net require any more evi dence of this nature, and that they desired the engineering evidence to be given to-morrow. The Committee adjoulned at four o'clock. GROUP LIV. LEICESTER AND axamenwanesz, AND BRANCH TO COVENTRY. On the re-assembling of the Committee this morning. the roes) was ordered to be cleared, in order that the Committee might decide on the respective merits of the different lines in the localities of Bir mingham and Leicester that had been submitted to them.

At the opening of the room it was announced that the Committee intended to come to a decision wish regard to the above line. After a delay of sofew minutes, The CHAIRMAN announced that he was instructed by the Com mittee to state that the preamble of the Midland Railway (Purchase of ()Abdul Canal Bill) was proved. The Committee proceeded with the clauses of the Bill, which were agreed to, and adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP LXI. SCOTTISH CONSOLIDATIONS. The Committee on this grow, assembled, at twelve o'clock to-day, in Room 33, Sir John Duckworth in the chair, when evidence was given as to the curves and radii and other general leatures of the 3ionkland and Kirkintilloch Railway, as well as of those of the ad joining and tributary lines, the object of 31r. Sergeant Wraugham ly being to show that, in consequence or the diiflcvltylnter posed by the sharpness and smallness of there curves and rain, it would be a great inconvenience to bring all the traffic upon a line where express trains were to run, and to be crossed by mineral trains. A long cross-examination endued to ascertain the extent to which the 3lonkland and Kirkintilloch line is subject to the cr-'using and passage of cross tram coal trains between the collieries and the works connected with them, and which are so placed as to be intersected by the railway. At the conclusion of this evidence, Mr. Sergeant Waastoussi addressed the Committee on behalf of the opponents of the Alunkland and Kirkintilloch Company. In the course of his observations the Learned Sergeant stated that the latter company were in fact absorbed by-the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, and it this amalgamation be approved the effect would be to drive the traffic which would naturally go by the Caledonian line, the direct course, circuitously by the coast. It was on public grounds alone that he op posed this line. The Caledonian Company had no other access to the north of Glasgow except by the Garnkirk Railway, un less they were driven farther north to the Edinburgh and Glas gow Railway, which is In the hands of an inimical company. There is no doubt but that the Garnkirk llailwAy is the only direct mode of getting to Glasgow. The same effect remained with respect to the through, traffic to the north. The gauge of the Alonkland and Kirkintilloch is now being altered, to suit the Edinburgh and Glasgow line, and when this is completed there will be an uninterrupted communication with Glasgow for the:Airdrie coal-Held. The Committee would have to recollect that when the clause of the Act which directed the purchase was passed, the railway of which it spoke, the Monkland and Kirkintilloch line, was absolutely not in existence. The question, therefore, which arose was this, whether the clauses were binding which bad been passed under one set of circumstances, upon a totally different set of facts. By the railways as they are now, there is still an apprehended com petition, and it acted wholesomely in promotlog the general benefit. while, if this purchase were allowed, there would be a great inapedi nient of the traffic. The traders had supported the Coaibridge Rail way simply because they might have two means of access into Glasgow. On one route they would have every advantage, while on the other they would have to contend with every impediment, if the monopoly were obtained by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company. It was evi dent that the object of the latter company was to abstract the traffic from its natural and direct channel, that of the Caledonian line, which, if sanctioned, would have the effect of injuring the public in general, traders especially, and the Caledonian Company peculiarly. Other witnesses were called to prove the same facts, and at four o'clock the Committee adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP LXIV. IRISH GREAT WESTERN (PORTARLING.. TON TO GALWAY). MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND (MULLINGAR TO GALWAY). The Committee met this morning at...twelve o'clock, Mr. T. Dun sombe In the chair. Evidence was adduced In favour of the last-mentioned line, Lord Castlemain, Sir Francis Hopkins H. M. Tulle, Esq., 31. r. for West meath, and G. A. B o} d, Esq., being examined in its support. 31r. Stove!, the engineer to the line, was examined at great length. The line wi.uld pass through Athlone, Ballinasloe, and other towns of great importance, now suffering from the present means of con veyance. By this line direct communication from the east to the west of Ireland would be effected. as Dublin would be connected by a direct line with Galway in the west. The country was extremely rich, presented no engineering difficulties of a serious character, and met with the approbation of the inhabitants of the districts through which it was proposed to pass. Besides, it would a work of great public importance. Adjourned until to-morrow, at twelve o'clock. GROUP LXV. • This Committee met this morning at the usual hour, Dr. Bowring In the chair. GREAT LEINSTER AND MUNSTER (No. 2 RILRENNY TO CLONMEL). The Committee having adjourned yesterday to enable the opposing landowners to come to some arrangement with the promoters as to compensation for the injury their respective properties would sustain from the formation of the line, Mr. TorrENnam, on the part of Sir Edward Kearney, one of the opposing landowners, proposed, after some discu.s.on, to accede to Um offer made on Monday last, which had been then rejected, viz., 4,0001. as compensation. Mr. TAYLOR., on behalf of the promoters, said that in consequence of the repudiation of the offer he was not prepared to renew that offer, but he was prepared to refer the case to arbitration or to a jury, and to give 20 per cent. over the award. After a protracted desultory discussion. it was eventually agreed upon to leave the amount to the Committee. The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee was unanimously of opinion that the promoters should pay Sir E. Kearney 3,750/. With regard to Mr. Aylward's property, it was also decided by the Committee that the compensation should be left to a special jury, and that the promoters should pay 10 per cent. over that valuation. In consequence of Mr. Redmond. one of the directors of the com pany, objecting to sign the agreement to pay Sir Edward Kearney the award made by the Committee, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee would not then pass the pre• amble of the Bill till that agreement was officially signed by the Company. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow, to give time for that agreement to be ratified, and if this were not done, they inti mated they would not pass the preamble. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—MYSTERIOUS AND ALLEGED SUIcIDS or A Boy.—On Monday forenoon. at ten o'clock, a length• awed Inquiry, which was begun on Friday last, was continued and concluded at the Plough, Lordship-lane, Dulwich, before Mr. Carter, to investigate the cause of the death of George James Benwell, aged 16, in the service of Mr. G. W. Evans, a manufacturer of Piqua tea, which took place under the following mysterious circumstances :-- Mr. Thomas Roberta, shoemaker, Lordship-lane, said that on Tues day night, between nine and ten o'clock, Mr. Evans called upon him, stating that he and his son had been out for an hoar and a hall; and that when he returned he found the house fastened. After he got in he observed written on the door of the bedstead, in chalk, "George Benwell is in the pond behind the house. Give my love to all my friends." When he saw that, he procured a pitchfork, with which he searched the pond, but discovered nothing except a piece of quartering about three feet long, on which was written ' in chalk, "George Benwell." Mr. Evans took off a portion of his clothes to go into the water, when he observed that he was In a great perspiration. He then sent his son for a boy to dis ein the pond.
