There was a Royal Commission this evening, for the pur pose of giving the royal assent to certain Bills. Various petitions having been presented, The Earl of ABERDEEN, in answer to a question on the subject of the claims of British subjects on the Portuguese Government, said that he believed the Commissioners had decided fairly, and that the British Government had no right to interfere in the matter. After a few words from Lord BROUGINAM with regard to the claims of Sir J. M. DOYLE, The Duke of WELLINGTON bore testimony to the merits of Sir J. M DOYLE as a military man. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY knew that Sir J. M. DOYLE had received a great deal of money from the Portuguese Go verument, and considered that his pressing this claim was indelicate. The Duke of RICILSIOND advocated the claims of Sir J. M. DOTLE. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition pray ing that the standing orders might be suspended as far as regarded the County of Down Railway, Lord REDESDALE opposed the motion. The Earl of WICKLOW saw no grout(' for deviating from the standing orders with regard to Irish railways more than with regard to others. Lord MONTIAGLE could not consent to the prayer of the petition. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY would not press the matter further after what had fallen from Noble Lords. Their Lordships then adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several Railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered ,o be committed. Mr. Moama moved the second reading of the G rea t No r th and South Wales Railway Bill. General EVANS presented a petition against th e Bill, th e second reading of whiallt after a short di scuss i on, was post poned to Monday, an the petition was ordered to be per sented at the expense of the parties presenting it. Various petitions were presented against the enrollment of the militia. Sir R. PEEL in answer to a question from Mr. VERNON SMITH said that it was his intention before the close of the discussion on the Government propositions, to lay before the House the measures they intended to propose with respect to the law of settlement and local taxation. Mr. ETWALL then moved, pursuant to notice, for the ap pointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the adminis• tration of the poor laws in the Andover Union, and into the management of the Union Workhouse. The Roo. Member went at considerable knell into the details of the occur rences that took place in the Andover Union, which he con sidered as highly disgraceful, and called loudly for inquiry. Mr. WAKLEY seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHADI regretted that so much of the v a l ua bl e time of the HOLM had been occupied upon a workhouse SUN, MARCH 6, 1846. squabble. He had on former occasions deprecated the em ployment of the paor, in unions in the south of England, in crushing bones, considering that to be an employment of a penal and repulsive charater. This mode of employment of the poor in unions, had been put an end to since January last, by an order of the Poor-law Commissioners. The diet of the poor had been altered; and the master objected to in the Andover union had been removed, and ' a master appointed against whom no complaints had been made. In future district auditors, and not local ones, would manage aLd pass the accounts of the union. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by moving as an amendment, that a copy of Mr. PARKER'S report, and the evidence taken before him on the subject of bone crushing and Mr. M‘DowALL's dismissal, should be laid on the table and printed. Mr. WAKLEY felt himself to be in a most awkward posi tion, because he was favourable both to the motion and the amendment. He thought the best course would be to ad journ the debate, until the papers had been laid on the table and printed. Ile was as anxious as any man not to throw any delay in the way of the debate on the corn-laws, but he must confess that lie looked upon this as something more than a workhouse squabble. He trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would withdraw his amendment, because it might be looked upon out of doors as a desire to put an end to in quiry into the complaints of the poor. He hoped the Hon. Baronet would make his amendment a substantive motion, and support that of the Hen. Member for Andover. Mr. en MITIE defended the course pursued by Mr. PARKER, and called upon the House to grant a Committee of Inquiry. He looked upon the amendment of the Right Hon. Baronet as a mere juggle, and if the Right Hon. Baronet was deter mined to stacd by the decision of the Poor-law Commis sioners in dismissing Mr. PARKER, he (Mr. CHRISTIE) should feel it to be his duty, when the question of their sa laries came before the House, to do all in his power, in con junction with other Members, to prevent their receiving them until justice had been done to Mr. PARKER. Sir J. GRAHAM said that Mr. PARKER had evinced such l 'edltiptisltrisn'or tovratds bis employers, th 6 Peor-law Commissioners, as, in his opinion, fully justified them in dismissing him from their service. Mr. FERRAND thought that it had been clearly shown that the subject now under discussion was not a workhouse, but a SAnerset-house squabble. After some observations from Captain Pechell, Sir. R. Inglis, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. P. Borth% ick, Mr. Hume Lord Pollington, Mr. J. Jervis, General Johnson, Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and Mr. Fielden, Sir J. GRAHAM withdrew his amendment, stating that he would make it a substantive motion ; but, with respect to the amendment, of which notice had been given by the Hon. Member for Weymouth, to extend the inquiry to the causes which led to the dismissal of Mr. PARKER, he felt bound to give it his most strenuous opposition. Mr. CHRISTIE then moved his amendment, which 'Ras to the effect of extending the inquiry into the conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners and their late Assistant-commis sioner, Mr. PARKER, in reference to the two investigations held at Andover, and into all the circumstances under which the Poor-law Commissioners called upon Mr. PARKER to resign his Assistant-commissionership. After a short discussion, the House divided, and the amend ment of Mr. CHRISTIE was carried by a majority of 23, there being 92 in its favour and 69 against it. The m iglus' motion of Mr. ETWALL, and the amendment of Mr. CHRISTIE, were both of them adopted. Mr. COWPER then moved for copies of dispatches received by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs containing in formation about the persecution inflicted upon the Bazilian nuns of Minsk. Mr. WYsE seconded the motion. Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had not received any official documents from the Government of Russia upon the subject. The only information that had been received was from the British Consul at Warsaw, who stated his belief that no such atrocities had taken place ; or if they had they had been greatly exaggerated. He would advise the House to be careful how it set the example of interfering with the domestic affairs of other nations. The motion was withdrawn after a short discussion. Mr. NEWDEGATE postponed his motion relative to frau dulent and vexatious objections to votes in Warwickshire and Staffordshire to Tuesday next. In answer to a question from Mr. P. IIowARD, Sir R. PEEL said he proposed going on with the Com mittee on the corn-laws to-morrow evening, before the Committee of Supply. The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the House adjourned. The intelligence brought by the Overland Mail, which left Bombay on the 3d ult., is altogether satisfactory, and fur nishes many interesting details of the splendid victories of the 18th, 21st, and 22d of December, the movements of the Seikh armies, the state of Lahore, the present position and strength of the respective forces on each bank of the Sutlej, and the preparations made by Sir HENRY HARDINGE to take vengeance on a lawless army and a worthless Govern ment, who, without the slightest provocation, had compelled him unexpectedly to engage in a fierce and determined war. It is evident from every new circumstance brought to light, that the Indian Government had no intention of in vading the Punjaub. A very small army up to the month of November was stationed at a moderate distance from the frontier; there were no heavy guns, no battery, and the amount of ammunition was so small that it was exhausted before the Anglo-Indian army wis certain of the victory. This is to be attributed partly to the peace ful disposition of the Indian authorities and partly to a con viction on the part of the Governor-General, that for this spring and summer at least, attempts by negotiations alone would be made to place the Punjaub in some order, or at all events secure the British territory against invasion. Both the Government and the Governor-General have been de ceived on these points, and nothing now is left for them but to muster all the British forces within a reasonable space, and carry on the war with energy, and a full determination to put down a body of troops alike dangerous to their own country and all their neighbours. We can have no security in that quarter by any other means; the Indian Government cannot afford to keep a large army on the frontier, to the danger of the rest of Hindostan where any dissatisfaction prevails, and at an enormous expense, merely because the Government at Lahore is too weak and disorganised to furnish any pledge of peace, or make due compensation for the severe losses and outlay already caused by their imbecility and want of faith. With these views the Governer-General is, according to the present accounts, making every preparation for a decisive contest, he is con centrating forces from all quarters, collecting ammunition and large guns in great quantities, making arrangements for passing the river, meeting the enemy in another pitched battle, and marching to the capture of Lahore. This great undertaking has come upon him by sur prise, and his troops have suffered severely from this very circumstance—placing too much confidence in the word of barbarians, and obeying to the letter the instructions received from the India Board ; but he now sees that there is no middle course, and that the time is come for either occupying the whole of the Punjaub, or establishing such a Government and such an army as will be pledges of order for the future. The force under his command at the present moment cannot amount to fewer than fifty thousand men, well provided with artillery, some of the guns of large calibre, and fully equal to those of the Seikhs, independent of an army under the gallant Sir C. NAPIER, amounting, according to different accounts, from 10,000 to 15,000 men—still flushed with the victories of Meanee and Hyderabad, and longing to meet , those Seikh troops whose fame for bravery and j military skill is well knorn lin Sinde. When the armies again meet the British will be placed in a very different situation from that in which they lately fought, under so many disadvantages. Then every circumstance but the skill and bravery of the officers and men was against them. They did not muster one quarter of the troops opposed to them, they had no guns of any use against heavy artillery they had not even atnunition ; the musket and bayonet were their only weapons, and with these they triumphed. If they took ninety guns by such means, what can oppose them when properly girt for the battle ? If one feature in the late 'settles is more striking than another, it is the total inability of the Seikhs to fight in the open plain, and without guns in position. Their infantry and cavalry absolutely did nothing; they rarely or never came in contact with the British, and if they did they fled like sheep. They have no confidence in manceuvres, or generalship, or a fair open fight. Like the Spaniards, they fight desperately behind walls, but make a sad exhibition when they meet cavalry or infantry hand to hand. These facts our troops know, and they will take advan tage of them. Besides, the chiefs of Lahore are divided among themselves, and it is not at all improbable that Sir HENRY HARDINGE will find allies on the other banks of the Sutlej. But, whether or not, the fate of the campaign is certain, and in a few days after his rassage of the river he will be below the walls of Lahore. The next accounts, therefore, will be looked to with great interest. For other points, to which we have not adverted, we refer the reader to the minute and lengthened details given in the papers and letters just received from India, and also to the communications furnished from Lahore. The public will be glad to find that Sir HENRY Hauntsair has anticipated the favourable opinions expressed in both Houses of Parliament respecting the conduct of the 62d Regiment, and that he has borne incentestible evidence to the noble manner in which they endured as long as human strength could endure, the awful fire showered upon them in such torrents from the enemy's entrenchments. The report of a repulse sustained by some Sepoys, near Loodianah, does not appear entitled to the slightest credit. Government is evidently convinced of the necessity which exists for some immediate settlement of the great commercial question now before Parliament ; it perceives the injurious consequences which must inevitably result to a nation so pe culiarly mercantile as Great Britain from any protracted delay in the transition of its commercial policy. That our PRICE SD. trade, both internal and international, is clogged by the non completion of the measures now filtering through the House of Commors ; that agricultural and manufacturing industry must continue in a state of comparative torpor until Sir ROBERT PEEL'S propositions have passed into a law ; and that all wholesome competition, either among merchants, or tenant-farmers, or the industrial classes generally, will, by necessity, remain almost in complete stagnation until protection is actually, as well as virtually defunct, is ac knowledged by the very Ministerial prospectus upon which the future proceedings of the representatives are to be regu lated. The Prime Minister has intimated his determination to impel the various clauses of his statement, relating par ticularly to food, through the lower House, and to give them this impulsion likewise, as vigorously, as earnestly, and as speedily as circumstances will permit. In proof of his sincerity in this announcement Sir ROBERT PEEL brings forward his scheme of "Customs and Corn Importation" this evening before the Committee, resolved that no single move ment which is available shall be neglected, and brought to this resolution, without doubt, as mach from a knowledge of the evils which would arise from any postponement, as from a conviction of the blessings which woulu in like manner flow from a speedy acceptance of his measures. Upon a position of affairs, there fore, so propitious to the English people, we are most heartily rejoiced. We congratulate our fellow-countrymen upon the anxiety evinced by their rulers not merely to annihilate their grievances, but to do so forthwith ; and, as it tends to expedite that annihilation, inasmuch as it leaves the Ministry without any incumbrance upon the action of its plans—the field entirely open for its progression —we must yet again express our satisfaction that the amendment introduced by Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS has been definitively disposed of, and the question o f free trade re d uce d once more to t h e prac ti ca bl e v i e ws of Sir ROBERT. The minority by which that amendment was negatived has been, we repeat it, a source of since re gratification t o ourse l ves, s i nce i n t h at m i nor it y we perceive 'a petit -escaped. Had As prateztioniata, for iSamPlei Kith the mere vexatious intention of harassing the present Ministry, and of placing Sir ROBERT'S influence in jeopardy, sided with the Hon. Members comprised in that minority, the effects of that hollow co-operation, to say the very least of it, would have proved most prejudicial to the glorious cause for whose success the multitude and the more enlightened of the Legislature are striving together;— it might possibly (and not improbably) have rendered the continuance of the present Government in office most dubious. At the smallest calculation, it would have weakened a Ministry previously of very great and very beneficent strength, while the ultimate triumph of the amendment would have still remained more than simply questionable. It would have been an ignis fatuus a chimera a shibboleth —an illusion. Hence, as deserting the substantial for the visionary, the quiet overthrow of that amendment was, as we have already intimated, a sub ject to us of sincere self-gratulation. At the same time, let it be particularly observed, we do not intend by these ex pressions to impute any but the most reasonable, the most laudable, and the most comprehensible motives to the Honourable Gentleman who introduced that amendment to the House of Commons. His position was peculiar, and, as such, it is deserving of every possible con sideration. The anxiety for an immediate repeal of those obnoxious laws which had hitherto prevented a just and ade quate importation of provisions, was an anxiety generated , so to speak, in the Anti-Corn-law League; it consti tuted, in fact, the paramount object for which that noble Association bad so long and so manfully striven. With the very name of the League immediate repeal was associated in the popular mind, and to the members of that extraordinary body thousands were undoubtedly look ing for a visible fulfilment of its engagements, for a Parlia mentary demonstration in favour of immediate repeal, for an amendment, in short, precisely tallying with the one pro pounded by the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton. A movement of this identical description was, we may say with perfect accuracy, incumbent upon some one amongst the legislators associated with the League. They could not possibly act otherwise without some claim upon general reprobation ; the formality of an amendment was necessary for their character, inasmuch as they conscientiously believed the advantage of an immediate abolition of the Customs duties. Mr. VILLIEBS was selected as spokesman, and surely a fitter person than the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton could not have been chosen. Mr. VILLIERS had unquestionably fought through "good repute and evil repute" for those principles which are so speedily to become incorporated with our constitu tion, and therefore was a most proper and north) , exponent of the League and of its aspirations. Some individual must have introduced au amendment of this nature—the Hon. Members for Stockport, or Durham, or Mr. Ginsole, or any other, in fact, of the Parliamentary Leaguers. Mr. VILLIERS was selected, performed his part with perfect honour and consistency to himself, and was defeated. We refer to these particulars from a feeling ofjustice: we do not wish to palliate Mr. VILLIERS or the League, because they require no palliation. They had a certain specific act to per form, in consummation as it were of all their previous exer tions ; that same act has been performed with all due solem nity. Nevertheless, in exonerating the several mem bers of the Anti-Corn-law League, and Mr. Vu.uxi.s amongst the number, from any pertinacious proceeding, we must take leave expressly and emphatically to repeat our satisfaction at the circumstance of Sirß. PEEL'S policy being now left entirely to i s own exclusive merits as the only possible and practicable free-trade scheme that could have been devised. We have received Madrid journals of the 26th ult. Two Bills of considerable importance were brought before the Chamber of Deputies on that day. The first was a Bill to indemnify the lay proprietors of tithes, which underwent some discussion, and the other a Bill presented by the Fi nance Minister for the endowment of public worship and the clergy. By the last the Minister proposes to set apart for the Church the revenues of the patrimonial property now ad ministered by the clergy, the amount of the obligations con tracted by the purchasers of national domains, and provide for the arrears due to the clergy by means of an issue of Three per Cent. Stock. The Three per Cents. closed at 30 3 4 for cash, and 31% al 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 22 at 60 days. The Paris papers are much occupied with the affairs of Poland, which excite great uneasiness fur the fate of the unfortunate Poles, who may, with almost certain prospects of destruction, rush into a contest with the three great Powers —Austria, Russia, and Prussia. Against such fearful odds there is not the slightest chance of success, for the end will only be military executions, banishments, and confiscations. If we are to credit some of the German journals the Poles had been successful in some instances, and the regular troops, as at Cracow, had been obliged to retreat. It is stated in a letter from Vienna, dated the 25th of February, that General DE COLLIN had been compelled to evacuate the town of Cracow, as the number of troops under his com mand was too small to resist the rebels, and as he was afraid that they would gain the passage of the Vis tula, n ear Podgorize, and thus extend the revolutio n to th e interi or. He waspost without an 'attack from the able rebels. Frankfort journal states, from Vienna , to A ch F e r n d secure this an that several officers have been arrested in Gallicia, on suspi c i on of their being concerned with the revolutionary movement. The Journal des Debars gives rather a long summary of events supposed to have taken place, and from that we should infer that the proposed insurrection has branches in the three dif ferent divisions of Poland belonging to the partitioning powers. But even the accounts in this official journal are either contradictory or little to be depended upon. That journal says :-" It appears that the conspiracy had very wide ramifications, proving its gravity, and that it has been kept up notwithstanding the arrests made at Posen four months previously, and in face of the prosecutions com menced by the Government. The greater part of the Poli s h nobles, not only the younger branches, but fathers of fami lies, are involved in these plots. Did we not know that we are bound to receive with the greatest reserve the reports disseminated by . the German press, we should have sufticient motives for doing so on seeing it announce, a s f rom authority, that Prince CzARTORYSKI and Count Z good Amoiski had arrived with the intent of takin g part in th e insurrec tion, while all the world knows that neither of those two noble Poles had left Paris. From all t h ese are still but very imperfect, it would be ditilarticulars, which conclusion as to the precise plans a d objects of the con cult to d raw any spirators." It also remarks, with too n news from Poland is calculated to inuch truth, that the emotions, and that it can only Pro duce view. none but painf u l with grief a movement, the issue of whi c h i s but too certain. Some additional intelligence from Algiers had been received at Paris, but it adds nothing to the previous communications, The Moniteur cont • ams a royal ordonnance, reducing the duty on salt, fixed at 30 centimes the kilogramme, by tho Act of December, 1814, to Ilve centimes, when the article has been mixed with other matters, so as to be incapable of being turned to account except as food for cattle.

V.Z.2 Sub-C•minittee No. 5. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. . . RAILWAY COMIVITTEEBj,) (THIS DAY) S ub - Committee No. 2. This Counnittee met to-day shortly after twelve -o'clock. The Members present were Sir J. Y. Buller, chairman ; Mr. Bell, Mr. Ksmble, and Mr. Bramstonc. GLASGOW, PAISLRY, HILDT.ARNOCR, AND AYR, AND DRANCIDOS. The consideration of the remaining allegations in the petition of Mr. Andrew Brown, On the part of certain noble landed proprietors on the line, was resumed. An allegation to the effect that there was an inaccuracy in the ma:king of the second point of the datum line was abandoned. The next allegation was that the number indicating the extreme depth of the cuttings in the parish of Paisley, which were marked on the plan at the Private Bill-office, numbers 322 and 325, were omitted on the plans deposited with the sheriff's clerk for the said parish. This allegation, with some slight modification, was Atimit94. A similar allegation was abandoned. The petition next all ege d th at in section 69 of said brVich, in the same parish, the numbers were not set forth in the plans and sections deposited in the Sheriffs-elerk's Office. This allegation was sustained. It was Maher alleged that there was a discrepancy betweelf the plans deposited to. the Private Bill Office, and those in the Sheriff's clerk's Office, on the 13th mile and 2d furlong, the same being marked in the for.ner as 15 feet 5 inches in height, and the span of the arch 35 feet, and in the latter the height was set forth as 13 fact 5 inches, sad the span of the arch 20 feet. Evidence having been heard, the Committee found that the allega tion was sustained. :Mr. LAING Said II would propose that he and his friend Mr. Pritt should retire, and endeavour to come to some arrangement with reference to the remaining allegations, insteat of occupying the time of the Co►mnittee. The CHAIRMAN ,aid he did not think it was likely that they (the a ;etas for and against the M 11), would agree, and he therefore would adviie hint (Mr. biting) to go on with the allegations. 3ir. LAING said, that he would proceed with the petition under these circumstances. The next class of allegations were, that there was inaccuracy in the books of reference ; those deposited iu the Sheriff's Clerk's office nut being copies of those in the Private Bill Office. The first instance ofthealleged inaccura y was in 13 A, which was incorrectly described as arable ground, and the right occupiers nut set forth. Mr. PRIT T called on Mr. Laing to show the consent of the parties petitioning. This being done, and evidence adduced for the allegation, the Com mittee found that in this case the standing orders hal not been com plied with. plans Nt question n er w e esruegngeostt that~fupliete sMorf. those P r itt sho uld to the Sheriff's that l e r t l ti . e s office, which would re li eve t h e Committee from going into the ra maiMng allegations. The CHAIRMAN thought that Mr. Laing had better proceed. An instance of the alleged inaccuracy was adduced, but not sus tained. Mr. LAING said that, in the following allegation, he had not the consent of the parties interested, but would wish to proceed with the allegation, in order to test the question upon which it turned. The CHAIRMAN —Then your allegation must fail. Mr. Lam: said, that in the case of the Ayrshire and Galloway Railway the course he suggested had been adopted. The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that Mr. Laing should read his al legation, and then show the consent of the parties, and if he could not do the latter, the allegation would not, of course, be sustained. Mr. LAING said in that easi he would proceed with the next batt • ane-aliegatitiot, which rated that In sectiou 45 in the *Ana fda tho rriyate •otliee the property referred t o was set forth differently in those deposited with the Sheriff's clerk. The Committee found that the evidence adduced was too vague, and therefore that the allegation was not sustained. The petition next alleged an error of the same description with respect to section 29. The right owner, lessee and occupier, were not set forth. Evidence having been heard, the Committee found that in this case the standing orders had not been complied with. The next allegation was to the effect that there was an inaccuracy in the books of reference in the Sheriff's-clerk's office with respect to the property marked 31, which was inaccurately described, which was not sustained. An allegation to the same effect, with respect to property 7S, was sustained. There were some other allegations of a similar nature, which were abandoned. The next allegation was that the owner, proprietor, &c., of the pro perty marked 91 I, within the limit of deviation, were not correctly set forth, which was sustained. The next was a similar allegation, which was not proceeded with, the necessary witnesses not being in attendance. The next allegation was, that the same inaccuracy was committed In the properties marked from 41 to 74 inclusive (which were held under a feudal tenure), the holder of the land being set forth instead of the feudal proprietor, in the books of reference, in the Sheriff's Clerk's office. The Committee found that the allegation was not sustained. Sub-Committee 3. This Committee resumed its sittings at twelve o'clock to-day. There were present Mr. Aglionhy (the Chairman), Mr. Thornely, Mr. Edward Buller, and Mr. Broadley. SOUTIi 17211703 C The consideration of the petition against this line was taken this morning, and a number of the allegations were disposed of; but as they were all like those heard by the Committee on Wednesday, a detailed report is unnecessary. The CHAIRMAN (in conclusion) 'said that, upon the case generally, the majority of the standing orders had not been complied with, and the promoters had better make as good a case out as possible for the Standing Orders Committee. MIXILAND,BARNSLEY, szErmarmoDzwa. BURY, LEEDS, AND BRADFORD. This Bill asks for powers to const ruc t a line of railwa y between Wattling and Dewsbury, by a junction with the North Midland Railway at Wath-upon-Dearne, in the county of York. The length is l$ miles, and the coat estimated at 370,0001. The Parliamentary agents are Messrs. Dyson, Hall, and Parker ; and the engineer, ai r . Henry E. Scott. Mr. Waterer, on behalf of the petitioners against the RM, ap peared to support the several allegations contained in them. The first was, that the promoters had given notice in the London Ga ze, le of their intention to apply to Parliament fer an Act to enable them to construct siapoliwnesersotforcattatny,,,twloienreeaslinteh.eys‘su-eerhe naonc•oeunrlisy goingnraselteoarlayppilyn for r pposition to the standing orders, and such had frequently been decided to be the case. Last session, the Direct Northern, the Poole and Doncaster, and Wells and Dereham, besides several other projected lines, were reject e d b y the Committee on this very ground. It was deceiving the public when promoters gave notice of their intention to make 30 or 100 nines of railway, and after wards only intend to construct 18 miles. In the case of the Direct Northern, notice was given for a lung line, and the promoters applied for a short one, which was held to be irregular, and the standing orders not to have been complied, inasmuch as the notices given ttl the landowners were irregular and insufficient. Mr. lIARE, for the promoters, contended that the standing orders; had been complied with, because the promoters had given notice of their intention to apply for one or more Bill or Rills, and they were perfectly correct when they asked for a Rill to construct a direct line of railway running from a termini to a termini. They were abandoning district projects, and not a part of the one they contemplated. The promoters of the Direct Northern gave up a part of their main lit.e, and their case was not a parallel one to the pre- Relit. Ile submitted to the Committee that for all the purposes at publicity and convenience the standing orders had been literally compiled with. The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were inclined to think that the standing orders had been complied with, but until they had consulted precedents upon the subject they would not publish their decision. The matter must stand over for a short time. Subsequently, Mr. AGLIONSI: (who had been out of the room for a few minutes, Mr. littler occupying the chair in his absence), said that he had no doubt the stamiing orders had been complied with, and the Committee formtlly decided that they had. By agreement the allegations were argued before the formal proofk were received. The next allegation was that the promoters had not given notice of their intention to sell or lease their line to the Manchester and Leeds Railway or Midland Railway, powers to enable them do so being contained in their Bill. Mr. HALL said that those Clauses had got into the gill by accident, and they were quite ready and willing to strike them out. The CHAIRMAN said that if the promoters expressed their readiness to do so to the Standing Orders' Committee, they might probably allow them to abandon that part of the Bin, but as the standing orders had not been complied with, this Committee must report accordingly. It was clear that as they had not given any notice of their intention to apply for powers to sell or lease their line they had no right to petition for a Bill to en able them to do so. Mr. WRIGHT then abandoned the remaining allegations, and the usual formal proofs were given ; and the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with, except in the instance or the clauses about selling or leasing the line. - - - The Commttee met at twelve o'clock. Mr. Horne Drummond, Chairman. FURNESS AND WrIVDERDZEIRE. This line, winch was before the Cortunittee on Tuesday last, and which was adjourned until this day, was again resumed. The solicitor to the Bill was called to prove that he saw the esti mates signed, the estimate itself having been lost. ,The CHAIRMAN objected to hearing secondary evidence of such a document, and it was accordingly abandoned. The next allegation was, that there beingtwo lines proposed, separate estimates should be given of the cost of eack lime. It was contended to be unnecessary, as one was an alternate line, and the estimate lodged in the private Bill-office was sufficient to cover the expenses of either railway. After a short consultation the Committee decided that the standing orders had not been complied with. This Committee regained its sittings this day at twelve o'clock. Present, Lords Shaftesbury, Ilchlster, Itedesdale, and Hawarden. THE CARLOW EXTENSION. This case has been adjourned till Monday. THE WEXFORD. WARAITERFORD, AND VALENCIA LWAY.

It appears that the train which leaves Man Chester at twelve at noon reached Littleborough station imme diately after the departure of a luggage train. The passenger train lett Littleborough at the usual time, although a passenger who got in there called the attention of the station-master to the danger of starting a train so soon after a luggage train. The passenger train proceeded, and whilst ( passing through a long tunnel called Summit Tunnel, a tremendous crash was felt by the passengers, and as 5 00 n as the screams and shouting consequent on the accident had 7 0 , 11.i_ which was the guard of the t ra i n ) h ad by some means get det ached sided, it was ascertai ne d th at t h e break and two carriages (in o from the luggage train, an d h a d b een left behind in the tmm s had w Th e n luggage train had gone on, a n d th e guard, the M appreh4g. d anger, standing er,,, . left the carriage i n w hi c h h e h ad been riding, a n de end ster o the up line of rails when e mail train to ar . theh pa.eaeimigeersupwatt killed him on the spot.
