Sir FREDERICK SMITH, in the chair. Major-General Charles William Pasley, C. 8., examined — Will you favour the Commissioners with any observations you may have to make upon the subject which is under their deliberation ?—Early in the year 1843 a difference of opinion took place between the directors of the Ulster Railway. of which a portion was then formed with a single line of raila and the Dublin and Drogheda Company, respecting the gauges of those railways. The Ulster Railway had a gauge cf 6 feet 2 inches, which they considered te be the best, and they objected to th e D u bl in and Drogheda Railway being formed with a gauge of 5 feet 2 inches, which was then proposed by Mr., now Sir John, Macneill, the engineer of that company, and approved by the directors. It was stated that these railways must ultimately be united, because it was proposed to extend the Dublin and Drogheda Railway to Belfast, oining the Ulste r R a ilway at some intermediate point. It was therefore admitted by both companies, that there ought to be an uniformity of gauge between the two lines, and as each party maintained their own gauge, or pro posed gauge, to be the best, the matter was referred to Lord Ripon, then Preeident of the Board of Trade, and of the Railway Department cfGovemment. Lord Ripon desired me to inquire into the case, and to make a report on the subject. I accordingly wrote a circular letter to a number of the most eminent locomotive engine -makers and railway engineers, to request that they would give au opinion, supposing that no railways existed in England, what, from their expe r i e nee of the worki n g o f the Great Western, and of the London and Birmingham, ldid and other existing railways, they would_ recommend as being the best gauge for generalhusme not apply to Mr. Brunel, because I considered_ _1 be nledge( l to the, 7 feet gauge, and I thought that it l would considered Mr. indeli cate to put the question to him. Stephenson and Mr. Robert Stephereseoenl(;nNavvraosefiernsgteirlitrraoiLuace;Bl the narrow gauge of 4 feet BV en inches same manner to that in England, to be pledged gauge; so that it was not re i yinten ß tio u n t h at m li i r , first to t a o sc h e a r e t ' a e ap plied to theta for their opinion. ined afterwards that those gentlemen had expressed a regret that they had a dopted so narrow a gauge as 4 feet Bte, I wrote to them also, and they replied that they considered that gauge to be the test, although they admitted that they had at one time been of opinion that a wider gauge ee uld have been desirable ; but they elated that the great imerove ments in the construction of locomotive engines had be en such as to render a gauge of 4 feet 8 not only perfectly con • venient, but preferable to any other. All the other engi neers wrote, that they considered 5 feet to be the narrowest, and 5 feet 6 to be the widest gauge, that was requir e d e ith er for the convenience o f the machinery of the locomotive engine or for speed orsafety. Several of them said that they considered some intermediate gauge, such as 5 feet 3 inches, to be the best. Aft er I h a d received those communications, besides copies of a lengthened correspondence between the two railway companies in Ireland that I have mentioned, I made my report to the Earl of Ripon, dated the 10th of March, 1843, in which I recommended that the gauge of 5 feet 3 inches should be sanctioned for the Dublin and Drog heda Railway, and that all future railways in Ireland should be required to adopt this gauge, and that as the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, and the Ulster Railway, the only ones then made in I r el an d, were o f ver y limited length, the di rectors of these railways should be required to change their • gauge to 5 feet 3 inch's, when t5.e.. - became connected with other railways, which would n a be attended with any very great inconvenience or expense, especially as the Ulster • Railway had only one line of rails. This opinion having been approved of by his Lordship, was authorised for all Ireland ; and, I believe, that the 5 feet 3 gauge has aceerd ingly been introduced in all railway Bills that have passed since. My report, to which I have alluded, together with all the correspondence on the subject, and the opinions of the several engineers whom I quoted, was printed as part of the report of the ilieers of the railway department to the Lerde•el the Ceinmittee of Privy Council for Trade fur the year 1813, and I beg leave to refer the Commissioners to that report for tutther details. At that time it appeared to me too late to attempt to introeuee an uniform gauge in Greei, Britain, where at that tiniefitir several gauges prevailed, to • wit, the Great Westeru and its extensions and branches of 7 feet, whilst the Eastern Counties Railway to Colchester, and the Northern and Eastern Railway from London te Bishop's Stortford, were on a gauee of 5 feet, recommended by Mr. Braithwaite, but the London and Birming ham, and all the other passenger railways in England, were on the narrow gauge of 4 feet Se. This last gauge alto applied to the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and to the Glasgow and Ayr, and other railwave proceeding from Glasgow, whilst the 5 feet 6 gauge had 'bees adopted on the Dundee and Arbroath, and on the Arbroath and For far Railways. I remained of the same opinion until lately. when the agpointment of this Commission by her Majesty induced me to reflect more upon the subject; and the esta blishment of an uniform gauge for all Great Britain appears to me so very important, that the advantages of it will far outweigh the temporary inconvenience to the travelling public, and the cep:lse of establishing it. I still consider that the gauge of 5 feet 3, recommended for Ireland in con formity with the opinions of the most eminent locomotive engine -makers and railway engineers, not pledged to any of the existing gauges, is the best, and that the narrow gauge of 4 feet 8% might be increased to this width very easily. The same bridges, viaducts, and tunnels, and the same sleepers would answer. but new axles for the locomotive en gines and tenders would be required. In respect to the car riages, the bodies or upper part would also answer, but it would be necessary to alter the frames as well as to make new axles. In altering the frames, all the transverse parts or cross pieces would require to be condemned, and wider transverse pieces introduced; but so much of the original frames would still remain available, that I have reason to believe that this expense would be very moderate, probably not exceeding 301. per carriage. In respect to the Great Western and other railways on the broad gauge, the same remark applies. The same longitudinal sleepers would answer, as well as the transoms or cress pieces after the latter are cut shorter. The axles of the to emotive engines and tenders, and the axles of all the carriages, would require to be altered; and the frames of the carriages would require to be taken to pieces, and the transverse parts shortened. In respect to the bodies of the carriages, I consider that they would still be available for the gauge of 5 feet 3, because Sir John Macneill, who adopted that gauge, has made his car riages as wide as those of the Great Western for the Dublin an Drogheda Railway, an I believe, of the same height; and no inconvenience or danger has resulted from using those wide-bodied carriages upon the 5 feet 3 gauge, since that line was opened, nearly a year and a half ago. Several carriages on the Manchester and Leeds Railway also have been made 8 feet wide, that is of the same width as the Great Western Railway carriages, and no danger or accident has occurred, from having those wide-bodied carriages upon axles and wheels suited to the narrow gauge of 4 feet Bi. I have further to observe, as a proof of the facility with which the gauge of a railway may be altered, that on the Norfolk Railway being made to connect with the Northern and Eastern Railway, the existing gauge not only of the latter, but also of the Eastern Counties Railway, which two companies had become amalgamated, was altered from 5 feet to 4.feet 8-1 1 , under the directions of Mr. Robert Stephenson. This was done in six weeks, in a very able and effective manner, without occasioning any accident, and without ma terially impeding the traffic on those railways, which con tinued as usual, one line only having been altered at a time, and temporary sidings made, where the up and down trains passed each other. I have only further to observe, that. Ido not think that Messrs. Stephenson's opinion of the sufficiency Of the narrow gauge of 4 teet 8i for all purposes, has been borne out by the seb•e-quent experience of more than two years. The gauge of 4 feet Si does not admit of a boiler of sufficient diameter, or of a fire-box of sufficient width, to give such power to the locomotive engines as is required by the present state of railway travelling. Mr. Robert Stephen. son has attempted to get rid of this disadvantage by length. erring his boilers in the last engines constructed by him, which are also made with outside c yli n de rs . Th e lengthen ing of boilers appears to me to be a failure, since it hee , not produced engines equal in power to those of the Great Western Railway ; and some of his engines with long boilers, which I have observed by travelling upon them, especially the one called the White Horse of Kent, used on the Smolt-Eastern Railway, go very unsteadily, oscillating or rolling very much, which, if the speed were materially increased, I think might prove dangerous, and which must have a tendency to injure the permanent rail way. I never went above 45 miles an hour upon an engine of this description, but I consider that if they attempted a speed of upwards of 50 or 60 miles an hour, which I have seen attained on the Great Western Railway (the possibility of which speed, however, I doubt with such engines), I do not think that they would be altogether safe ; indeed my opinion is that they would roll over if they attained that speed. As a further proof of the inefficiency of long boilers to obtain the object in view, I may remark that the engines made by Messrs. Sharp (brothers), formerly Sharp and Roberts, of Manchester, as well as by Mr. Trevethick, of the Grand Junction Railway at Crewe, and by Mr. Johh Gooch, of the South-Western liailway, travel as quick as those long boiler engines of Mr. Stephenson, and much steadier. Owing to the narrowness of the 4 feet 8/ 2 gauge, Mr. John Gooch has made some of his goods engines with elliptical boilers, the transverse or longest axles being vertical, which may vender them a littl e more top heavy than the others, but, considerin gao that they are intended for slow traits, there is °election to this corstruction. I have further to mention. ' that the boilers th . e d. Great Western locomotive engines, entynnuatraueerteedefui4idefretthe t irectlon of Mr. Daniel Gooch, have an th d e found necessary ro lu at e Ztra t diameter , increase it am has ete n r o o t f be % e h n e boilers beyond that, which be recognised on that would admit of railway as the maximum, gouge). the e that • Inn& larger ones. And I shall conclude g t! o z i f ng 4 feet the proposed gauge of 5 feet 3 admits of ayboolill diameter, or even of 3or 4 inches more if required , odhat I consider this gauge sufficient for all purposes, unless it were wished to travel much faster than the Great Weate press trains now do, the speed of which satisfies me. rn ex. You are of opinion that the break of ga uge i s a great evil in the country?—The greatest possible disadvantage. And you think that the best way of remedying that is by a total reform of the existing railways, so as to produce one entire harmony of gauge ?—I do. I may observe that, in all probability, the mileage of railways in Great Britain will be doubled, or may be trebled, in the course of a certain number of years. It certainly will be doubled, and therefore that is another reason for not adhering to either of the present exist ing gauges, if a better can be adopted. You think the time has now arrived for taking some decided step one way or another ?—I think it has ; but it would have been better to have taken it earlier. You were understood to say that you considered the lengthening of the boilers in Mr. Stephenson's long engines to have been a failure; do you attach any importance to the lengthening of the fire-box, the defect as regards the fire-box being in width ?—I have not studied the details of locomo tive engines myself; I judge by experience of those I have travelled upon, and I consider that Mr. Stepheeson'e length of boiler has Pot produced that effect, which it was natural to suppose that it would have done. You have alluded to the unsteadiness of some of the long boiler engines, the White Horse of Kent is particular; do L'ou consider diet is owing to the circumstance that the White Horse of Ken t has outside cylinders, add that there is no attempt et balarcine' the moving weight there?—From my observation of tto effect of outside cylinders on the Grand J,ur•wien and on the S o uth-Western Railway, ii here they n ave been ;teop , eti as the last sites' tiers p a tterns.

In one engine that I measured, made accordin to Mr. Robert Stephenson's patent , or at his own works (ado not recollect which), the central distance between the fore and hind wheels was only 10 feet 9 inches, whilst the dis tance from the rear of the tire-box to the front of the smoke box was more than 20 feet ; the former projecting entirely behind the hind wheels, and the latter being entirely in front of the fore wheels. I travelled on another of Mr. Robert The , nnual festival of this institution took place on Friday evening at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street ; Lord Ash ley in the chair. The dinner was served up in admirable style. On the removal of the cloth the Noble Chairman gave the usual loyal toasts, to which ample justice was done. "The clergy," with which was coupled the health of the Rev. Mr. Cole, followed, which that gentleman acknowledged in a long and eloquent speech, enforcing the claims of the charity to public support. Lord ASHLEY then gave the toast of the evening, and en tered fully into the merits of the institution, dwelling upon the happy effects of its prompt assistance to those unfortu nate individuals who had met with any serious accident. Lord J. MAlsixEns proposed the next toast—" The health of the Noble Lord in the chair." The Noble Lord said there was no occurrence which had taken place during the last session so much to be lamented as the retirement of Lord Ashley from Parliament. There was one consolation, how ever, in knowing that although he had left the House of Commons, he was not lost to the charitable institutions of this country. Lord John concluded his address by drinking the health of the chairman, with a hope that his future life might be as useful and successful as his past had been. Lord ASHLEY briefly responded. He said that next to the success of the measures he had brought before Parliament, he so _ courted no reward so much as the honest, steady, and The other toasts Lrird:teerChoefe the enlightened and benevolent citizens of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch proposed and drunk were the healths of and committee, and the stewards ele e Z and patronesses; the stewards 'or th the various subscriptions which he During the evening Mr. R.

This was an action brought to recover damages which the plaintiff had sustained, by means of an assault committed, and false imprisonment sustained, at the ingt4il4 of the defendants. It appeared, from the evidence for the plaintiff, that Mr. Winterburn happened to have a very ill-conducted youth for a son, who was accustomed to keep very bad company, and on the day in question, the 21st of December last, the son had stolen from his home, to go to his usual haunts, and Mr. Winterburn followed to drive him home. It happened whilst he was administering chastisement with a strap, which was shown to be by no means grievous, Mr. Brooks, a Mr. Wil kinson, and a Mr. Herbert, seized hold of Mr. Winterburn, shook him, and led him by the collar to the station-house. [The Court then rose to enable his Lordship to attend the Crown cases.] COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 25. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court, which rose at an early hour, was engaged dur. ing its sitting in hearing motions which were of no interest whatever but to the parties concerned. ADMI'?ALTY COURT, April 24. SALVAGE. -THE AMERICAN. ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN DRURY-LANE.—CAPTURE OF THE AL LEGED ASSASSIN. On Saturday night, a few minutes before nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of Drury-lane was thrown into the greatest state of consternation by the commission of another of those horrible acts of attempted assassination which in this instance, as in the recent one, will, with out doubt, prove fatal in its consequences. , It appears from information obtained by the reporter from those who were witnesses of the diabolical deed, that about ten minutes before nine o'clock the unfortunate victim, a lithographic printer, named Blewett, residing at 18, White Hart-yard, Drury-lane, was returning home from his employment, and walking down Drury-lane, from the direction of Great Queen street, towards Princes-street. On the arrival of the unfortunate man near Morgan's dining-rooms, situate at the corner of Princes-street, a youth was ob served to step before him and fire a pistol directly at his breast. A man named Samuel Sandered, who was drinking cutside the public-house exactly opposite, hear ing the report, ran across the road, and succeeded in catching Blewett in his arms, as he was staggering. The poor fellow exclaimed, " Oh, I am shot," and the blood was seen issuing from the front of his shirt. At this moment the youth who had fired, took to his heels, in the direction of Great Queen -street, pursued by police constable Dunsford, 83 F. The wounded man was con veyed to the shop of a surgeon, in Drury-lane, where, on opening his shirt, it was discovered that he had received a bullet wound in the left breast, from which the blood was flowing. He was conveyed to King's College Hos pital, where, on being examined by Mr. Walker, the house surgeon, it was ascertained that the ball had entered the left breast, and passed out at the right breast. He is also of opinion that the wound is mortal. Imme diate information was forwarded relative to the sad oc currence to the wife of Blewett, and she lost no time in proceeding to the bedside of her unfortunate husband at the hospital. He was at this time able to speak, and stated that he was wholly unconscious of who bad shot him, and that he had not the slightest quarrel with any person. On inspection of the pistol, it was found to have been recently discharged. It is a heavy barrelled pistol, such as is used by the police, with a flint lock upon it, and the bullets are rather small for it, being about double the size of a pea. William Hathaway, residing in Drury-lane, states that he was close to the youth when he fired, and was so stunned with the suddenness of the report that he could not tell whether he took deliberate aim or not ; but he saw him stand for a second afterwards with the pistol in his hand ; and it was not until he saw the assassin run away that he recovered himself; and then he called " Police !" and pointed him out, whilst running, to the constable. Dunsford, the police-constable, continued his pursuit, without losing sight of the accused, until he arrived in Little Queen-street (singularly enough, the place where the murderer Wick was captured), and where he took the prisoner into custody, EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER AT BOW STREET. On the accused being taken into custody by the con stable he still had the pistol in his hand with which he had committed the act, and on being searched a powder flask, containing a considerable quantity of powder, and a number of bullets were found on his person. He trembled very violently and was quite out of breath from running, but as soon as he recovered himself he ex claimed to Dunsford that it was an accident. On his arrival at the Bow-street station the prisoner was placed within the bar until Mr. Superintendent Pierce, who was at Covent-garden Theatre at the moment, was sent for. During this interval he trembled exceed ingly and frequently buried his face in his hands. The accused is of exceedingly juvenile aprarance, with dark hair, sallow complexion, and rather long features. He was attired in a most respectable manner in a brown surtout, black waistcoat awl trowsers, and wore a shirt collar turned over a black silk handkerchief a la Byron. The charge was entered, and, on being icterrogated by the inspector, he said in a very tremulous voice, " My name is John Braham ; I was fifteen years old last January.

InticoNETTl's FUNERAL.—The mortal remains of this great artist were consigned to their last resting-place on Fri day morning, at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorflelds. We be lie% e the original intention was to have performed a grand requiem ni.,,, with full orchestra, but we heard that this was prevented as being 'ainst the usages of the chapel. The crowd was immense, there was scarcely a place unoccupied, When the service of the dead was concluded, the procession descended to the vaults beneath the chapel. After the Latin service the priest delivered a short prayer in English. Dragonetti's old playmate, Lindley, seemed much iffected—fur upwards of half a century they had read from the same and never had a discordant word passed between the musical rylades and Orestes. Several carriages followed the hearse. The dro;•eslion was join,: at the door of the chapel by Mr, Lumley, Mr. Life, Signor I'ugni, Signor ruzzi, Signor F. Lablache, Signor For disAri, Mr. Holmes, Mr. Surinan, and all the members of the Opera orchestra. There were also a considerable number of amateurs, amongst whom we remarked the Duke of Leinster, Lord Gerald Fife:erald, the Viscomte de la Belinage, Mr. Beale, &c. The in ;crl,tion on the coffin-plate is " Domenico Drogonetti, born 1755, n;th of April, 1846." In the first coach were Count Pepoll, the celebrated Italian librettist, Mr. Novello, J. B. Heath, Esq., Go .rnor cr the Bank of England, and Mr. Appleby, poor Dragonetti's it; In the second coach were Lindley, Signor Costa, and Mr. Sala man,- for m an y years a pupil of the deceased ; and in the third were Anfossi, Tolbecque, Si vori, and Pigott.

Dr. Addams and Dr. Robertson, for the owners, submitted that the tender, under the circumstances, was most ample. Dr. LUSIIIIIGTON said this, an American vessel, with a valuable cargo, left London for New York on the 12th of December last. The weather was most unfavourable and tempestuous, and after beating about, she got, in the middle of the night, upon the shoal, having been exposed to great danger and difficulties for six or seven days. It was, in deed, a most providential mercy that she had dragged Over the shoal. The salvors went out in their lugger from Deal, in the praiseworthy object of rendering assistance to vessels in distress. She was descried at daylight and boarded, sig nals for a pilot and assistance having been raised. The Court, after going over the facts of the case, held the tender of 1001. insufficient, and awarded 160/. to the salvors, with costs.

For the last three weeks she had been very desponding, the cause of o g n the day previous, and s a id she man whom she knew, wh o h a d which she would not divulge. On Saturhay afternoon last she called oa an intimate friend, with her baby in her arms, and in the course of drowned thought it was a very good place to go and drown herself. Ab ou t half-past three o'clock she asked her to take care of her baby w hil st wveorosdatlon himselfshe t a o ll t u h d e ed sot to; n y ti o n u e n she took home some work. She left the house, and in about half an hour afterwards she was seen running across the Serpentine-bridge in Hyde Park, followed by a police-constable, who, from her manner, suspected she premedlt ited self-destruction, but before be could reach her she threw off her bonnet and shawl, ascended the parapet of the bridge, and flung herself into the water. An alarm was instantly given, and the boats of the Royal Humane Society were quickly on the spot, and the body was tamed le about four minutes, and conveyed to tits receiving-house, wnere every means were used to resuscitate her, but ineffectually.

LEEDS.—There was considerable improvement in business at the Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday; on the latter day more goods were sold than on any market day during the last two months. Prices continue pretty steady, and the stocks on hand are below the usual quantity at this season. Trade has also been more lively in the warehouses this week than for some weeks past. A number of drapers from the country and from Ireland have visited the town, and some Americans have also been here during the week. Alto gether the prospect is better than might have been expected a few weeks ago. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is no disposition to buy any kinds of wool except on the limited scale we have observed for some time past; no alteration in price. The improvement in the demand for yarns, noted in our report of last week, is fully developed to-day, as the buyers are dis posed to purchase for distant delivery, to whieh the spinners are not ready to accede, as the prices now current must un dergo a great advance before they can realise prime cost ; but as long as wool maintains its present disproportionate price to yarns, thre is but little hope of the large quantity of totally idle machinery being put to work to relieve our distressed operatives. During the week and to-day more business has shalltabl e f c o o r n t autumn, inue to improve. The delay in t he Government measure affecting. the merchants, particularly the corn-laws has no doubt tended to retard the progress of the export houses. The absence a b n ee d n a do fe n e e lin in g a is ll g k a i i n n ts ,g of grdr and from the market •ef a rather extensive buyer noted in our last, turns out more unfavourable than was expected, and considera bl e e mbarrassment is felt among the smaller manu facturers, several of whom have already had to yield to the loss they will sustain, and many once respectable men will be completely ruined, and necessarily involve increased tempo rary distress among the operatives in the villages where they reside.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have no t h ad ac a u s fa m ct a u n r y ers, an i t n ici tion to the advance on the staple, are aski ng a l so a further advance, and this on heavy fabrics w ou ld amount to at least 5 per cent., which buyers at present re f use to give ; hence only needy parties comply with the manu f acturers' wee d ld oin h g av in e cloththiTs The demands, and the business is conseq uen tl y li m i ted. There there would much are one or two houses who generally employ large numbers of hand-loom weavers in town, who are discharging them in considerable numbers, as the goods manufactured by them are chiefly for the home market. Yarns are in fair de mand, and prices firm as compared with those current this day week. TRADE OF LEICESTER.—SSVirA home buyers have been in our market this week, and have iin,ight cautiously ; ma nufactured stocks in hand are light, and there is tio intention to produce by the makers what is not likely to be wanted. Some American orders have been received, and purchasers are now in the market for goods suitable far the full demand, but the uncertainty existing with respect to the Oregon question induces them to conclude their purchases quickly, leaving no time for anything to be manufactured on specula tion. Wools remain the same, and worsted yarns are more in demand.—Leicester Journal, of Friday. • SALVAGE.—TME CHARLES WILLIAM. This was a case in which another American ship, Valued at nearly 5,0001., was in distress, and received assistance from a pilot-boat while passing through Nichol's Gap, when she was taken into Yarmouth. The salvors were the crew of the Caroline fishing-smack, which sustained damage in rendering aid, to the extent of 451., and lost employment in her usual avocation. A tender of 751. had been made and refused. The actien was entered for 7001. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Jenner, for the salvors, v_ c i o cT n eh si ase d c e h r o e au d T the tender a paltry one, the ship b e i ng laden with iron and steel, and l ea k y , and urged the Court to give a more liberal reward to th e owners and crew of the Caroline.

Mr. Colquitt is not only an able legislator, but a sound lawyer, and a good preacher. He is a man of decided talent, energetic, persevering, and industrious. He is said to have made, in one day, two stump speeches, preached two sermons, argued a case in Court, and joined a couple in the holy bands of wedlock ! He also possesses, according to his friends, another very eminent qualification for a Senator vi the United States. To use the laue,uage of the authority refened to, "he can thrash any other man, wrapped up in the same quantity' of skin 1".4306t0x Timm BIZ LXIV GSG.ELIMB.
