Some say the pleasure is as great In being cheated as to cheat. SO we believe it is written in Hudibras, and if the Poet's axiom be true, then indeed. the pleasure must be great in witnessing the performances of the I'S ERWIN LADY, who is now cheating our eyes and ears by her singular performances at the EGYPTIAN HALL. We shall not endeavour to explain her Powers, for they are Inexplicable—Go and see. THE HIGHLAND DWARFS. THE HIGHLAND DWARFS, who have had the honour of exhibiting before her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert on two different occasions, are now to be seen in the Cosmorama Rooms, 209, Regent-street, every day from twelve to two o'clock, and from three to live ; and from seven to nine in the evening. The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a female (brothers and sister) ; they are folly equipped in the High laud garb, and perform a series of national, mar Val, and festive dances. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the celebrated Gille Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and se extraordinary is the muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry two 561 b. weights about the room. He and his brother exhibit all the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the beautiful airs of their native glens With exquisite taste and feeling As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are requested to pay an early visit.

Dugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few Introductory facts,the herculean task must be approached. THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since maintained its proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND. It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey— An old, old monastery once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and rare Idia'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated about the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the corn poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it is indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be tound throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this • • ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and reli gious state—one •of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey' in suitab'e terms she panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed to the length ofan announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is' fortunately enabled, by the assistance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by tulections of her own, and guided by aludgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey, to be ready six weeks antecedent to the sale. • The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of re. It I, on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset,• 15 miles from Taunton, 3 , from Chard, about 50 mike from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 534 hours thim Lthidon, which the approaching `railway through Chard will reduce to "'about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' ride of Exr ter. The - county in which the Abbey is placed • will not yield •to any other. The reader . needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment.

This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled Walks between rows or umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with or namental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, anti here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the soft undulatlng foliage of its magnificent and TIME -HON6IIRED TREES is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent:' and imparting just such an air of tempered WWl nese as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care ,and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the orna mental waters in front Of the Abbey it is recorded— • Before the mansion lay a lucid lake ?

AND RECHERCHE PART OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF TON AND THE SEVERN, ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND; AROUND IT ARE ITS PLEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE EXTENDING TO 50. ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD AND LAND- TAX REDEEMED. . "IVI - R. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating 71. lie has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price, at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on ThMsday, the 25th of Juno, at One, for Two o'clock, precisely, in Two Lots. A SINGULARLY DE LIG II TFU L and altogether a MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. It is well known and highly appreciated as THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Bristol and Clifton,• on the road to the splendid river Severn and the passage into Monmouthshire. A description of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that his representation must necessarily be very incomplete, inasmuch, as although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host of elegant abodes in progressing . throligh the romantic drive of four miles, yet it is confidently stated that there. is nothing to present itself that can be put in juxta-position with Severn House. The position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an unusual degree of the extent, and what may really be justly termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEALTIIFUL SCENERY. It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appreciate. but it is believed a very few gleanings will suffice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, Unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a villa which it is universally conceded, stands al:Ale both for situation and prepossessing appearance. It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, keep the cold winds at most respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it •would appear that fairy land has been sought to aid the great design. On perambulating tlirodgh these splendid grounds the views are (en 'write) magnifiCent, and the extent almost without a limit. THE CONFLUENCE:OF THE SEVERN AND THE AVON is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis tance must be seen if the reader desires to appreciate it, for it is quite certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob jects entirely disregarded. Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride, Project:their waving umbrage o'er the tide; While, gently perching orrthe leafy spray, Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay. The road from Clifton is full of variety, and on arriving at the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingenuity must .have been brought , into the field to accomplish the delightf u l ascent to be encountered from the very pretty entrance-lodge -gate , but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety, not to rely on anything short of ocular demonstration ; as the fame of thii residence has extended far and. near, it necessarily renders ft a work of supererogation and lightens the necessity to go into a, more minute detail than this hasty compo infirm will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is close at hand, and becomes an auxiliary that it would be an injustice to overlook. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the fortunate occupant prefers 'quietude and repose to the gaiety that will surround him, he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the great lions of the county are close at hand. THE 'FAMED PIERCEFIELD is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for fame, is not far off; the verdant seenery whiCh interposes itself in the progress to these highly commended properties extends over a vale so rich and lovely that its beauties seem to exceed the powers of commendation, and be it remembered all this (and very much more than hai been . asserted . in this brief analysis) is within four hours' pleasant drive of the metropolis of London. This delightful abode ha; not yet been noticed sufficiently. " THERB IS THAT' WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW." It is a building of considerable pretensions in Its outward and visible signs; find 'a family, although numbering very many, will find the most ample accommodation within ; it may be added, that it lacks nothing that can be understood in the comprehensive term ;of cora ,ort. ' The • out-offices are most complete throughout, the court yard' is' worthy of admiration, and a 'sporting gentleman will find 'in the stabling and coach houses all that ingenuity can suggest. The kitchen-gardens are 'very extensive, inclosed by lofty brick walls, and the soil is exceedingly prolific ; the fruit is considered unusually high flavoured; • • • THE HOT AND SUCCESSION•HOUSES are ipiite'perfect, and • the produce is beyond praise. There is besides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, in excellent taste, and shedding Its beauteous fragrance on all around, and • THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN from these gardens considerable knowledge,the bulbs being a selec tion in great part imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci- i t i h n a u t b t i eh,at tendseit y ties givefam e a d p f l o e r a . s 1 u ghe variety, scee ? v , u e i N e ' h e r e y7 a l i t u e , re it a i p s comparison every tig th v i e s ryvea p rn e te n rn s h b a y ud a , and Bristol and Clifton c a l b a l i e m — e t d h , fearssea close nothing a t county. It is in the midst ofplenty, auxiliaries daily. TEE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIFTY ACRES OF ADMIRABLE' LAND, in which is included , A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS, -jiving to the industrious views of the proprietor a very delightfhl re source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in improving the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from ,his seat of happy contentment. The pro, ress to the summit of thi: QUITE PERFECT BIJOU lute been the Work of considerable tact and judgment. It is almost imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in Admiring and beholding the scenery around. The prolific array of American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from Harlem. From the elevated spot, in these woods are seen the Castle of Blaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's and Ragland Castle; indeed There is nothing left to fancy's guess, pour intheir far-famed pseoarnor s You see that all is loveliness. BY way of conclusion it should be remarked spite of wintry winds, the full growth of th e excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode, The ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in ax irresist ihleclaim is p er f ec t. It wou ld pu zz le ingenuity to discover a solitary fault. It can only b eseen on T ues d a y s a n d Saturdays from twelve till Pl th an a t t a , tion in hve O'clock, and not without a particular and drawing (which will cost one shilling fora party, to be had also of Messrs.

PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND, entirely and strictly within a ring fence, -including• the prolific woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that they are paid by a compromise with the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line Passes through Willenhall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact, everythiag is in the most perfect apple-pie order. • A microscopic eye could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS CAN NO P BE EXCELLED THROUGHOUT ENGLAND; AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY, "THERE IS . NOT NOR HAS THERE pgAzi AAN ARREAR OF ONE GUINE DtRING LAAT,,ZEN I 'lt wray now be asked,'" Where is to be found a oorreapondfnieaier AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of income, it should be said TILE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as also the Baginton and. Brandon property. There is an abundance of game, and fled sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which furnish constant am•isment to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably might be improve( by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste. There is, besides, one of the farm-hoases where the proprietor would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionally during the sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the rental —it must be,premised —there are no leases. The present low rental is 1,550/, a year ; but it is quite manifest that SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR will be conceded di a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured to the PRESENT GOOD*MEN AND TRUE, by giyng to each a fourteen y,ai's' lease. James Mellor, rm.", who has so long domesti cated with his family oil the hill,: and whose quiet abode overlooks Coventry and Its beautiful spires, it Would be in bad taste to refine a lease for his life t althOugh'it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be a very `long one. Longeviti , prevails on this healthy property, and some time sfnce this was provtd by MIL BLUE (close by) retiring into a better world, at advanced age of 10El. Mr. Mellor's grounds are beautifully diiposed, and more especially the wild flower-garden, (under the worthy especial care), which gives to it a pleasing variety. LORD CRAVEN' AND LORD HOOD • , , are close allies ; ' AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTIIER OP !Nit ROBERT PEEL, DART. is close at hand. The farms are verypioductive in the soil for white crops, especially wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land ; but as dairy farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher, claim. The contiguity to.one of the first markets in England, and the facility to return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by way of conclusion, Mr: Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking ' into the scale the, great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get into good farms now-a-days), if the every day observation, resound ing now from ad quarters, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, is not rendered most manifest by the above unassuming recital of facts? The particulars are ready, and will be distributed, with a dray,. ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, Jun., of CoVentry. His fathtr (the eminent practitioner of this great city) will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint ant man to go over the estate.

The learned Ge - U' r 1 %, -- n ' having amplifledfurther on these points; and recapitulated the iell' of his address; concluded - by calling on the Committee, to rejeeit'et"' preamble of the North British (Carlisle Extension), and to pass that h 2 320 of the Caledoiian (Lankliolm Branch). , • - . - ' . Mr. TatltoT then replied on the part of the North British line, and on behalf of the'petitioning proprietors, the Duke of Buceleuch and Sir jatnei.Graham: He would, in the first place; deal with the affirmative advantages of the Bill f :r which he appeared before' he replied .to thei eloquent statement of his Learned. Friend: the preamble' of the North British (Cat/isle Extension) line set forth that great public advantages, would. result from the, passinWok the LW in. question: They prelnited at the opening of 'the Prixeetifilrlt that IVY 'Would establish a strong. case of Beal traffic, and ,:.,they had amply redeemed that promise. They had shown that the district to be accommodated was a rich agricul tural iind pastoral district, which was, in regard to the woollen tra ie, the West Riding of Scotland—a district, moreover, which as yet had neither canal nor railway accomModation: It had, he submitted, been proved that the trade of the district wae very great, and that the only thing that interfered with the ample development of the district was a cheap alai - abundant' supply of coal, - which - at present dould not be had; in ; the ,manner and at the price desirable. -By the railways already sanctioned Hetrick had been piked on the apex of 'a triangle -.- ih• . rcera e , re to accommodation. It was On the point of:traffic- confluence of the two lines sanctioned from Edinburgh find Berwick lasi year. This Clearly showed that this was the naftiral course of traftle; c and all that was required now .was an ~ otitiet .na, the ,south, .to accommodate the mineral and agricultural .produce of the - district: 'As tar as evidence • had been taken, it had 'been s:shoyn . _ that at least one-third of the agricultural . produce went west and south, and re quired the present line of railway • aeconimodation. The proof was clear that the produce of. Roxburghshire went in large:quan tities to Dumfriesshire, and that at least 3,300 tons of grain went from the former to the latter county for seed and for other purposes. It :lied also been shown that cattle and sheep were fattened largely in Itolourglishire, and that they absolutely required a s , uthern rail way accommodation like' the - present- line. They had called the best witness, in :Scotland 7 ott the' subject, Mr. Scott, who de posed that .. be , sent . s ou th to Liver p ool and ' Lancashire. generally abent• 4,000 fat sheep AtarlY, besides a large quantity sent: from East Lothian, via Glasgow to Li verpool. It had also been proved' that therewould be large traffic in lean - cattle and e hero that would pass along.the line, arising from the - large fairs held .in the county Of. Roxburgh. , The evidence of Mr. Scott on this head was fortified by the evidence of Mr. NelSif; who had - been actually examined en a' similar point the year befbre by. thb Caledonian Company. lie was,' therefore, an unimpeachable authority. He (Mr. Talent) had now 'dealt with the agricultural experts; and he would ' now briefly: call , their attention to the, question ;..0f... imports „in . order to effect ;mprovements in the cultivation of land. The area of country - arourid Hawlek required tiles, or, at- least, clay, to make them of, and coals by which to burn them; and these would be sop-. plied in large quantities, and at a cheap rate, from Canobie. It was also neeeisarY to have railway connexion in order to obtain supplies of guano anti _other ; manure, from the adjoining ports.. Then,- with regard to the southern liinb of the scheme; they' had the 'evidence Of -the Duke of Baceleuch and Sir J. Graham;who spae strongly in fa vour of the line as a . means of . supplying - the demands of the agriculturists of 'that part of conk/T. ' So 'Much lot the agricultural features of the scheme ;,11()W _ for .the those of a mane- lecturing character. It had been proved that the quantity of foreign weel.'espeCially Wd - ol 'from Now York, was increasing every 3 ear at 'it awlek,7ahthills° that a large-trade was carried mit in manufac tured goods with London. In these days of competition short and direct routes were indispensable for Lmanufacturers. -it had been showh. by Sig. Irocjce, i thp Tweed draper, that' no line. of communication would be tuNisable fpr the distrik, unless it • connected it in a: direct Manriet with LiverpoOl and Manchester. It was therefore .abserd, and out of all character, that the inhabitants of the district should be senrthirtfor' forty Miles round, by way of Berwick.. Again,' it had. been proved that in Galasbiels and Ilawick the water-power was almost taken up, aim that : a, cheap tel abun dant supply of coal was necessary, in Order to apply s'e:'.:e as a motive poseer ; <and it had' been further shown thAl5 the `ii Pt' ', ,, f this mineral cottld : 4)e -best ,had ream the Canobie ek,ll-11,1,1. Such was the °Millie — of 'the cast for 'lfi ;line,- preece One a case of strong local Want for the line in.qaestion. One lonia' kanle fact in their case was, that of the 4,2 miles in extent, they had DU 37 miles of it the assent of the 'hided proprietors,. while on the whole they had hut a single mile ofalleeents. The Learned Gentletnan h V ing, dwelt on the points - of the case as developed in evidence, went' 4 to reply M the obserVationhnide dtibehalf of the Caledonian Co . S: patsy, by Mr. Coettenr. ;With regard to the Caledonian line, 14 must say that ii was ttselesS to the districttliret:,h w hich the Hai' ck line • 'passed, and it - would :be worse than useless if it were to be protected, during all time future, from any line passing hole , Carlisle 'to 'Hawick. He submitted the Caledonian had' liii 'estanding before the Committee, and had, only sneaked iit by their proposition of the Latighohn branch. In do!ng this they submitted • the prinenile of the Hawlek line, though they stopped shirt of giving that accommodation to the district which it required. Beyoud the _portion_of-the Ilawick line.-that comneted With their Langlielai • branch, they had no locus stencil, and had no right to appear against the twenty miles from Langholm to Ilawie.k.. lie repudiated the notion of the Caledonian line talking of vested rights. He hoped the day had gone by when vested rights, except in well-established cases, and not on such as the Caledonian had submitted, bad gone by, and that the public interests were to be sacrificed to the selfish policy of a grasping company. The Learned Gentleman then went over the various points adduced io support of the Caledonian. Ile dented that the present line was put li.rward as a competing line with that, though he did not deny but that some parties might come along this one, in preference to the other. But the whole through traffic was estimated at about 21,0001., and the utmost that might be taken from it could not be more than 4,0001. or 5,000/. ; yet on the bare contingency of that they Were led to believe that the Caledonian was a company that could be extinguished by the slightest blow. Then they were assailed that the North British Company would not have enough of ti title to support their line, but he submitted that was no leteiness of the Chairman and directors of the Caledonian l.'+ to ~in 3•, though he admitted it was a subject for the consideration of the Committee. His clients had produced along the ratite of th I line witnesses who knew the wants of the district 'well, while those called on the other side, with the exception of that notable member of the fourth estate, Mr. Steele, who had all along been a partisan of the Caledonian, had no local connexion with the district whatever. He submitted: that manufacturers and agriculturists, who knew all about the district and mineral agents, residing at Canobie, were witnesses more to be reli• d on than Mr. Pare, who had been employed to get up a case, and the other parties, who had merely run over the district once or twice, and who had no knowledge of the real wants and traffic of the country with respect to the Canobie coal-field. Evidence had been clearly 'given to show that there were ten seams of coal, of which but three were now working ; that the supply was most ample ; that so far from coals from Berwick suppb+nting Canoble coal at Hawick, it was mole likely that Canobie coal would go to Berwick, en account of the superiority of the article. All the Com mittee could do on this point was to compare the one evidence with the other, and judge between them. On the passenger traffic it was a remarkable fact, that where these estimates could be corrected by way bills, it was found to agree in the main With the other side, as shown in the evidence of that euphoneous pair, Messrs. Piper and Tyther : and it was only when the romantic calculations of 31r. Pare were introduced that a discrepancy was made oat. On the engi neering differences in the estimates he would set the established character of Mr. Miller against the evidence on the other side, with the high observation that Mr. Locke, in his original esti mate, set down the Caledoaian line at, 2,100,0001. Taking away 130,0001. for plant, and dividing the remainder of the number of miles, 'the amount per mile would allow actually less than the estimate of Mr. Miller. This would show how the matter stood between the rival engineers, and how much' this alleged ' discrepancy was worth.. The Learned Gentleman then addressed himself to the Langholm branch and the junction at the station, with reference to the evidence of SirJ. Graham, that the line ought to run upon the south bank of the Esk, and that with respect to the junction at Carlisle, the proinoters of the Bill were willing to leave the matter to the adjudication of the Board of Trade. The Learned Gentleman concluded by strongly Impressing on the mind of the Committee the necessity of passing time preamble of the 8111. The room was then cleared for a division. IMPORTANT DECISION. After an absence of about half an hour the parties were e.ll!ed in when _ _ . The CHAIRMAN said the decision of the CoMmittee wag, that the preamble &the Bill of the Langholm branch of the Caledonian Rail way had not been proved; also that the preamble of Ihe North British (Carlisle Extension) had not been proved. They, however, reserved that portion of the North British preamble that related to the small branch to the Canobie coal-ileid, so as to ascerta'n whether by the forms of the House they could retain it, so as to form a junc tion with the branch of the Dumfries line. Practically, however, the decision was the rejection of boils schemes at present before the Com mittee. The consideration of the Canobie Branch and the clauses of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle 13111 were adjourned till Monday week. alt Our xvn. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND atorzszlr AND nEnimanGE nnraccii (SOUTH—WHSTEI 1V). The Committee met at one o'clock this aIb:MOW, the Hon. E. Yorke in the chair. RorasEY amp REDIMITIGL HILAIIOII. Before the transaction of any business, the Chairman ordered the room to be cleared. On the admission of strangers, The CHAIRMAN (addressing Mr. Mill, who appears for this branch) said, owing to the course of examination pursued yesterday, some thing like an imputation was cast upon the Great Western on ac count of some discrepancy with respect to the charges for goods and passengers. It was the wish of the Committee to hear some evi dence on the part of the South Western to explain this discrepancy, and a witness was to be examined this morn ing on the subject. That was the first point ; and the Committee having considered the two Bills, as far as they were able, had come to the conclusion that the promoters of the Manchester and Southampton should open their case, and that a general reply should be given to the promoters of the Romsey and Redbridge branch. _ IW:if= said the promoters had complied with the wishes of the Committee, and witnesses were in attendance to give evidence. examined.M. rC. S to li vi e n, s t ai h d e wtrhaffienethe manager of the Great Western, was then examined them. lie h a d a copy of billsofthe passenger is sued d arbly about wereprin ta t b ed les h is e the Ist of January, 1841. He was not sure whether the line was opened to Northern or S ou th amp t on a t th a t per i o d ; b u t th e distance between London and Southampton, as stated in the bills of that period, was seventy-six miles and three-quarters, but the goods traffic distance seventy-six miles. Winchfleld was looked upon as half-way between Southampton and London, and was considered thirty-eight miles from Southampton. The time bills were published about every month, and little variation was made in them, except in May and in the fall of the year. He could undertake to say that no change took phile€ in the bills between May and September 1844. By the May bill of that year the dis tance was set down as seventy-seven miles and a quarter, and the distance from Southampton to Winchfleld was thirty-nine miles, or from Southampton to London seventy-seven miles and a quarter. By the bills o f January and March, 1845, the distance charged for passengers between Southampton was forty miles, and for goods thirty-nine. The abatement for carrying twenty tons for forty miles was thirty per cent., and for thirty-nine 20 per cent., making a difference of 10per cent. They w were entitled to p c h a rge for forty miles, if the distance as a fraction over thirty-nine. Nothing, however, was gained by this, as it had nothing to do with the charges. The line was, however, re-surveye d last year, and this seeming discrepancy was rectified, and the fares for both passengers and goods were only charged for the net distance. Mr. Davis —Then the passengersby the Parliamentary train should pay Id. more than they do, and the Company gain 10 per cent. by having charged 40 miles for passengers, and only 39 for goods ? The witness said under the old time bill refared to by Mr. Davis that was actually the case on the face of It, but the company really derived no advantage from it. between Winchtleld and Southampton. Coals taken from the wharf at Nine Elms to Southampton were conveyed at 2%d. a ton, but 3d. a ton was charged from Southampton. Examined by Mr. HaTirtaarox—The distance In 1845 was found to be 78. The heavy traffic of all kinds did not exceed five tons a week between Winchfield and Southampton. The charges for con veying coals were regulated by the large quantity sent from London, and the small quantity sent from Southampton. The arrangement made w i t h the dock proprietors at Southampton was mad e o r tin purpose of improving the trade of (Ram= « . , Rom _ ~ ~,,,, .

LONDON AND YORK (THE} EASTERN COUNTZES): The COmmittee met at eleven o'clock .this Morning ; the Earl Lovelace, chairman. • • • The Committee intimated {o fhe' parties; Ufa when the ca'o for the Eastetn Counties closed, they. would, After, hearing Mr. Austin's speech, take the case for the Cambridge and Li coot, .and Leeds and York line. After - hearing that case they would then call on Mr. Ser geant Willi : wham to - reply to the whole case:forthe Eastern Conn tios, afterwhich they t would come to a decision on tile trunk line. Mr. Hudson was then called 'and briefly t i t-examined by Mr. Hots—The Hon. Member stat4d that he could compete with the 1 London and York line supposing it were made ;. he could also carry the public and goods at a cheaper rate and quite as speedily, if not more so. The offer he had made the Lendoh and York Shareholders was that 'which: subjected thein to the abandonment' of the main line and placing Cambridge on the trunk line. The Eas tern Counties. Company did not court the proposed connexion with the London and York ; it eras complained of by persons repre senting abbut - forty, thousand shares in the London and York line, that the Eastern Counties had not made an offer to them for the purpose of an amalgamation. Soon after this complaint was made at a public meeting he immediately wrote a letter, to the directors of the -London, aujt York, proposing tetras of amalgamation,' The negotia tion ended mthing. Mr. Stephenson civil engineer, was then' called and examined by Mr. AUSTIN. - • Mr. Stephenson was examined as to the distances. The London and York, including the loop, w•ts 283 miles, : The Eastern Counties Extension was 227 miles.,..The expense of constructing the London am York line,, would almost construct the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction lines, which were heavy.lines, and the Yotk and North Midland lines,•which were comparatively light lines. The cost of railway construction was higher - now than it was last As there ivaaa portion of the line easy.and.gheap .of construction, eight millions would be afair estimate. for constructing the,Lendon and - Yon line, according to Mr. Cubltt's plan. The original estimate did not include the miscellaneous expenses, such as law, Parliamentary, and surveying ; these expenies would exceed 2,0001. per mile. The' cost oft constructing the - Eastern Counties Extension would be, including all expenses, about 400;000l.. The: gradients on • the Eastern Counties line were favoutable. The gradients on the Cambridge line were • almost a • level. 'They were as 1 in :1,700, • 1 in 1,900, and 1 in 2,000 ; with these exceptions it was a perfect level. The gradients 'ori Mr. • Cubitt's line were as lin 200. Practically speaking, the difference of distance in the two lines would be but little, considering the superiority of the engines of the Eastern • Counties line ovr those which could be had by the London and York line. The gradients on the ',Eastern Counties were so favourable that the engineers Would be able to get over more ground, and the hltimate result would be that the difference in distance would be almost anni hilated. The delays and stoppages which took place on many lines of railway were owing generally to the character of the gradients, and this would he the case with the London and York line. ' The witness was further examined in chief, at the conclusion of which, it being 4 o'clock; the Committee adjourned to 11 o'clock to morrow; when the cross-examination will commence. _ HOUSE OF COMMONS. - • ' GROUP 11.

" The Committee met to-day at one o'clock, in room No. 1 (House of Commons); present, Mr. Deedes, chairman, and the usual Members. They were at - first:occupied with some arrange - mein respecting the new clauses of the • • GLASGOW, AIRDRIE, AND TJrONELAND JUNCTION, respecting which, as far as'the reporter could understand, there had been some slight misconception.

On the assembling of the Committee, Mr. HOPE, in the absence of Mr. Cockburn, who was not present to sum up when called on, and whose speech was therefore deferred, proceeded to address the Committee against the North British Extens!on in respect to the junction proposed at the Carlisle central station. If the Com mittee would sanction the junction in question, he hoped they would place his clients, the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, in a very awkward position. That company had already entered into an understanding with three other eompanies for station accommo dation, and were the North British allowed to come in, in addition to those, the public inconvenience would be very great. So many lines crossing at the station, and the influx of passengers, would be so great, as not only to endanger the safe working of the station, but to damage to a great extent the whole arrangements of the Lancaster and Carlisle Com pany. His clients thought such a junction unjustifiable, as the public convenience did not require this Hawick line, the whole wants of the district being fully supplied by the great trunk line of the Cale donian Company. Their opinion was that the Hawick line was not at all required, and they prayed the Committee would not allow the line in question to come into the station, occasionally an alteration of the level, depriving the Company with which arrangements had been already made in regard to station room, and deranging the whole affairs of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company. On these grounds, therefore, he prayed that, even did the Committee see lit to pass the preamble of the Bill, they would allow the line to come no further at present than the outside of the walls of Carlisle, leaving it to a future session to legislate as to the mode in which it should enter the city. Mr. COCKBURN then proceeded to sum up the case on behalf of the Caledonian Company. He submitted that no case - bad been made out to justify the large amount of capital named by the promoters of the Hawick Company. They proposed to expend from 600,000/. to 700,0001., the principal portion of which would have to be spent in that part of the line between Laegholm and Hawick. Two-thirds of the capital would be required for that part, against which he submitted that no case of traffic had been made out. This extent of country was purely an agricultural district; little traffic in respect to it had been made out, and so the case had been made to depend on the manufacturing character of Galashiels and Hawiek: Then, in regard to these, the largest of which had only a population of 8,000, the necessity of the line was urged in regard to the traffic going to the south. With respect to Hawick, it • had been shown that the whole value of the manufactures of Hawick, per annum, was about 250,0001., or in weight, 520 tons, of which it had been shown not more than eighty or ninety tons would find, its way to the south. In the case of the Hawick and Edinburgh line of last year the great point dwelt on was the intercourse to the north—to Edinburgh and Glasgow—and not that to the south. But even with regard to the small Southern traffic now shown it had been proved that railway accommodation could be bad to the south .by way of Ber g ick and Newcastle; and with regard to heavy commodities to London, they would still have the steam and sailing vessels from Leith and Berwick. The same principle in respect to the course of trade applied to the imports to Hawick and Galashiels. The principal import was wool, for which it was alleged a railway Communication was required in order to get the article from Liverpool. Now, it had been shown that it could be got from Hawick to London by steam and land conveyance for 225. a ton ; whereas, being a bulky article, it could not be brought from Liveipool by railway, a distance of 168 miles, for less than 3d. a ton • per mile, making 425., thus showing a balance in favour of the other route of 20s. a ton. Ile apprehended with this kind of bulky commodity the water con veyance would always be preferred to that of land. Ilawick and Galashiels had already communication with Edinburgh and Berwick, and they lord the full benefit of the water conveyance from these parts to the various ports of the United Kingdom. Reviewing the whole manufacturing evidence of traffic, there was no case made out to warrant such an enormous amount of capital. The next point of the promoters, and on which they had laid great stress, was the local traffic along the line, especially coals. On that article alone they had estimated 24,000 tons to be carried to Hawick for annual consumption, though last year they endeavoured,to prove that that place would be supplied in a great measure from Mid-Lothian. The witnesses of his Clients, Mr. Wil liamson and Mr. Wood, bad proved that the extensive coal-fields of Berwickshire, of which the produce was superior to that of Canobie, would'suPply Hawiek in a great measure, and that supplied would be had also from Northumberland and Mid-Lothian. On this article of mineral, as well as on that of lime, it had been shown that the North British promoters had greatly exaggerated their case. The earns applied to . the alleged traffic in grain from Roxburghshire to Dumfriesshire. The • reason for this expected traffic was, that pricei were higher in the latter county than in the former ; but it had been subsequently proved that prices between the two districts were fast assimilating, and that no such traffic as they took credit for could be had on the various beads. The North British took credit for 60,5611., but certainly no case had been made out warranting such an amount of traffic. The Learned Gentleman then went through the items of passenger traffic, contending that from the evidence of Mr. Piper and Mr. Tither, coach proprietors, of Carlisle, and of Mr. Pare, the traffic taker, no such traffic existed on the line of road as they had taken credit for. Not only had they swept the road of every person seen upon the road, but they had in addition assumed that the traffic would be developed to the extent of 150 per cent. more. It was most unprecedented to sweep the road, and then add 150 per cent, for increase. The proper correction, therefore, was two-thirds less than that they had taken credit for. Net only had the various items of traffic he had referred to been monstrously exaggerated, but the same applied to the items of stone, bricks, timber, and small parcels, on all of which Mr. Pare had, from correct data, made large deductions. Mr. l'ase's calculations were the result of observations made at a fair average time of the year, and they had every ap pearance of being fair and reasonable. With regard to the item of fish, which it was alleged would pass from Dun bar, he never heard a more monstrousas assumption. They were Scotch to bring the fish a long jour ne y over the Liverpool at presentas i there h hadere was no sea on the west side of th e i s l and, and no fresh fish. It was most absurd to suppose that 2,1001. would be pro duced by any such mums. Not onlyw 8.6 Liverpool to be supplied with fish, but also with slaughtered meat; no such traffic existed, nor did he thinkbut, at present, at all events, there would. But, supposing even this traffic to arise, it was the legitimate traffic of the Cale donian which was now constructing on the faith of an Act of Parlia ment obtained last year. . But, supposing a case of local traffic was made out, what was the result in regard to the Caledonian line already sanctioned? It was no longer disguised that they intended to be a through competing line with the Caledonian, and to take away the traffic that was expected to come upon that line. He sub mitted, whatever might be the view of the Committee in regard to granting accommodation for local traffic to any place that could make out anything like a case of traffic, that on the grounds of equity and justice the claims of the Caledonian should be considered. That company was in a position from which they could not recede, as a million of money would not re-instate thet Company in its former position, and therefore he did hope the Committee would not grant a direct competi n g line through to Edinburgh. With regard to thetNithsdals the vase Committeewasmite to depend on local traffic, and he believed the Committee decided on that view of the question, but in the prese nt e " -- -. of the North British there was no disguise ; the object was through to Edinburgh, against which h e hoped his clients would be protected 17 the decision of the Committee.

To the:Cnsiamss, the withess replied, that there is a line, a pro ji.ct of the Enst,rn Counties Company, ler connecting Cambridge and Fly.' Mr. Ellington stated in reply to Mr. DANIELL, that about 6,000 quarters arc malted in Mary, for which there is at es ! ut not suffi cient carriage. This live would afford accommodation for which there is no present facility, especially as regards Mildenhall• Con nexion with London is now so precluded that the inhabitants of that district cannot enter into time bargains. To Mr. BORTHWIQK the witness replied that the line now pm. jected would require no extra expense to get to London. Mr. S. Webb, of Mildenhall, a limoburuer and brickinaker for thirty years there, stated that the lime they made was obtained from the limestone in the neighbourhood. The railway would make a difference of SS. 6d. a ton at Bury, and of N. 6d. at Stows market. There would hem accommodation lv the other line, and the saving woulL be only 10d. at Tilford. The difference would be only Id. or 2d. a bushel between tho two lines. Mr. Kerling, the steward of Sir H. Bunbury, who has more than 8,000 acres at Mildenhall, w here the sessions are held, said in the neigh bourhood there are extensive gravel pits, the extracts of which are largely used in the repair of the few roads, and if this line were es tablished, the cost of-carriage would be reduced by 2e. a ten. Mr. Gwilt, an extensive landowner on the line, testified to the quantity of gravel which is obtained for the improvement of the roads (.f the neighbourhood. Mr. Robinson, vestry clerk of Mildenhall, gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. B. Jennings, of Bury St. Edmund's (which is one of the largest seed markets in England, and the largest corn market in Sudolk), stated that from the 9th April, 1843, to Ist April, 1846, there were 162,000 Quarters of corn sold ; and of seeds there are between 3,000 and 4,000 tons sold, every year. The line is of vital Import ance, for should this rallway.not be made, the inhabitants 'of Bury would become the servants of the merchants at Lynn and Ipswich. Mr. O'3IALLEy appeared for the Corporation of Bury, and put in an interlocutory, as the line aft cted Bury. Mr. Croft; an auctioneer and surveyor, stated that the line would intersect the town, and that the distance to the Marsh Gate was 367 yards, and generally testified as to the difference of the advantages of the two lines with respect to Bury, especially with respect to,the cattle market and Brook-street. A conversation ensued with respect to the communication with Newmarket, but it led to nothing, and the Committee adjourned till Monday week, at one o'clock.
