It is truly astonishing to observe the morbid horror which modern legislation entertains of general prin ciples. To deal with any engrossing question of public interest, that occupies the attention while it excites the hopes, or the fears, or the indignation of the million, on the ordinary rules or tests which determine the lines of demarcation between right and wrong, in the every-day business of mankind, would be deemed in Parliament a species of gaucherie, similar to that innocence of things as they are" and the practical mi)de of encountering them, which, at our Universities, is reckoned the certain characteristic of " freshmen." The debate in the House of Lords on Lord RADNOR'S motion, which we read with regret, afforded a curious ex emplification of this fact. We had the el-decant intrepid champion of popular rights and constitutional principles —the quondam Lord FOLKESTONE, the denouncer of Marquis WELLEst - Ev's Indian Administration, the sup pre:sor;of Colonel WARDLE'S memorable charges against the late Duke of YORK, the ultra-friend of COBBETT'S most ultra doctrines touching the necessity of upholding the common law and charter-granted rights, and pre scription-sanctioned customs of the people against all conflicting pretences of modern-made statutes—bringing forward a measure to remedy the intolerable abuses of our Post-office jurisdiction lately exposed in the tam perings of Sir JAMES GRAFIAM and his colleagues in her MAJESTY'S Government, with the inviolability of private seals and correspondence. In what manner? Not by a broad proposition to extinguish the power of such viola tion in any Government her MAJESTY may hereafter ap point, but by making it compulsory. on the Secretary of State for the Home Department to issue a warrant giving such authority to break the seals and private letters in the case of each and every such particular letter so to be dealt with. This power, this odious power, it is known, is derived under a clause in an ob solete Act of Parliament, passed in the reign of WILLIAM III.; and such a power the Noble Earl and his friends contend, to our astonishment, it would be injudicious to withdraw altogether from the employment, at its discre tion, of the Government. The absurdities into which this compromising method of dealing with a broad and di,tinct principle has thrown those very Peers of the Liberal party by whom the outrags practised on M. MAzalNi's correspondence were at first most vehemently denounced, are absolutely deplorable. The Lord Chief Justice seems to think to quibble away his own proposi tions into safe, vague, and worthless generalities. He is now of opinion that, inasmuch as the machinery by which the Home-office has been brought to bear on the administrative and executive departments of the Post-office, would suffice to enable the Home Se cretary to grant a specific warrant in each separate case; therefore there can be no objection that the Government should retain the power which it has enjoyed for the last century and a half, to be exercised as emergencies may arise, but under the guarantee of issuing a sepa rate warrant for each letter. But it was well shown that in practice the preparation of the separate warrants would be impracticable. Then the other inconsistencies to which this paltry modification of a great principle would lead are as obvious as they are multitudinous, Should the Government possess, or should it not, this irresponsible power of violating at its own pleasure, and on its own motion, the consecrated privacy of that cor respondence which passes through its posts ? If we are answered in the affirmative, we ask why not to a greater, if to this limited, extent ? If we are answered in the ne gative, we demand why will you concede the limited exer cise of a power to which you will not hear of permitting a more extensive application? The power is in itself good or bad, proper or improper, to be retained. If it be wrong, it cannot be convertible into right on demand, like Sir ROBERT PEEL'S currency notes. If it be right, it cannot be transmuted into wrong by virtue of a Secre tary of State's warrant. Even the flimsy plea of expe diency is too palpable to deceive the moral perceptions of the country, seeing that the blundering manner in which this power has recently been called into action has demonstrated its inexpediency. The veil of expe diency was rent asunder by the rude conversion of ex posure ; and yet it is to the rescue of this demonstrated deformity—this spy-like, secret, dirty abomination — darkly created in the obscure councils of by-gone Go vernments, and disgracefully and clandestinely resorted to by the present, that Whig Lords, constitutional lawyers, and Peers, whose proudest boast it is, that in the House of Lords they resolutely uphold the rights and liberties of the Commons of England, rush in ad vance even of the unconstitutional Cabinet Ministers, whether Whig or Tory, who have insulted the spirit of their age and country, by embarking in such un-English courses to gratify the political resentments of foreign Powers. Truly public principle and constitutional con sistency are fast becoming among us sonorous abstrac. tions, without living representative or example. We have intelligence from Constantinople to the 17th of May, Athens the 19th, and Alexandria of the same date. The Russian Embassy had officially announced to the Porte the intention of the Imperial Prince of RUSSIA, the Grand Duke, of visiting Constantinople in the month of June, and the (Jour) ier d' Athenes contains a paragraph stating that the Russian steamer Crim6e, which entered the Pircens some days before from Constantinople, was the bearer of orders to the commanders of Russian ships of war in Greece, to sail immediately for the Darda nelles, there to await the arrival of the Imperial CROWN PRINCE, who, after visiting Constantinopl e , i s to take 'a tour through the Mediterranean. The accounts from Lebanon are very unsatisfactory. Fresh disturbances between the Druscs and Maronites had broken out, in which several lives had been lost, and it is said the Maronites were ultimately defeated by Turkish troops, who took part with their enemies. These disturbances had attracted the notice of the Foreign Am bassadors, who held a conference on the subject, and IE SUN, L_ON_l3 ONI drew up a note for the Divan, in which they blamed the Turkish authorities at Jleyrout, and called upon the Porte to adopt measures for restoring tran quillity. According to accounts front Alex-.ndria, MEHEMET ALI cli4 .yed excellent health, and was engaged in superintending the arming of the fortifications of that pkce. An Egyptian frigate had sailed fur Constantinople, conveying 1,000,000 piastres as a present from the PACHA to the SULTAN, on the occasion of his sister's marriage. The Turkish fleet. under lIALIL PACHA, after a cruise off the coast of Tenedos, reached the Dardanelles on the 15th of May. We have received Madrid papers of the 25th of May. On the previous day the QUEEN, her mother, and sister, left Madrid. They were to arrive at Barcelona on the sth instant, passing by Aranjuez and Valencia. NARVAEZ was to join the Court at Aranjuez, and MARTINEZ DE LA. ROSA. WORM follow, if his health should permit. The editors of the Clamor Pub lico were arrested on the 25th for a libel lous article on NARVAEZ, and wan to be tried, according to some accounts, by a Court-martial. No public measures had been taken with respect to the dif ferences between the Government and his Holiness, tut it was understood that fresh instructions would be sent from Barcelona to the Spanish Ambassador at Rome. Barcelona is a destined place for intrigues and plots. On the 24th the Three per Cents. closed at 34i, at 60 days; the Five per Cents. 24. at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 8 at 40 days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the abdi cation of Don CARLOS and the probable results. Many conjectures are formed by those of the Opposition, the Government journals merely publishing the docu ments. The Presse, Queen CHRISTINA'S paper, infers that an arrangement has taken place between the different sections of the Carlist party, and that the marriage of the QUEEN to the Prince of ASTURIAS, now Count DE MONTEMOLIN, will be the consequence. That journals says:-" The abdication of Don Can Los is not the work of a single day. It cost long and painful efforts, and it crowns the negotiations which long continued fruitless, but which were conducted with great reserve and great skill. For many years past Din CARLOS has lost all prestige and all in fluence. After having caused the ruin of his party in the Basque provinces, he became at Bourges an obstacle to every species of honourable compromise. The moment however had arrived to adopt a decision, for there was no possible medium between the abdication of Don Catmoe and that of the entire Carlist party. The mar riage of Queen ISABELLA became every day more immi nent, and, right or wrong, the most influential men amongst the Spanish emigrants regard this marriage as a natural, legitimate, and honourable mode for all parties to complete a reconciliation on a grand scale. We are aware that the Progresista party and a considerable fraction of the Moderate party are opposed to every plan of a compromise with the Carlists ; but, on the other hand, the marriage of the QUEEN with the son of Don CARLOS is supported by the party represented by the Marquis de VILU3II and the Baron DE MEER, by the entire Spanish clergy, all the officers who signed the convention of Bergara, all the influential Carlists who have emigrated to France ; and in Europe, all the northern Cabinets." The National says :-" The abdication is the result of an intrigue which has been a long time in prepara tion, and which Queen CHRISTINA considers to have arrived at maturity;" but it is needless to quote further, for we believe the Presse is correctly in• formed. This upshot of the affair has greatly discon certed the Court of Naples, and it is said the KING is going to Paris to urge the promises made to his brother, the Count DE TRAPANI, but he will arrive too late. The Courrier Francais states that Prince JERome BONAPARTE has obtained permission from the French Government to visit his cousin, the prisoner of Ham. It is added, that the object of the Prince's visit to Hain is to make a proposal to the Prince Louts NAPOLEON, on the part of the French Government, which, if ac ceded to, would set him at liberty. The proceedings before the Chambers on Saturday possessed no interest. The Peels, as anticipated, had rejected the Bill for the conversion of the Five per Cents. On a division the numbers for the Bill were only 28, and 118 voted against it. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse, on Satur day, at 85f. 90c. ; the New Loan, at 861. 15c. ; the Five per Cents. at 121 f 60c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,230 f. ; Rouen, 1,102 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 830 f.; Havre, 887 f. 50c.; Avignon, 1,042 f. 50c.; Basle, 2721. 50e ; Spanish Actives, 40f. ; ditto, Three per Cents., 42f. ; Spanish Passives, 7%.

This being the morning appointed for the execution of Joseph Connor, for the murder of Mary Brothers, the Old Bailey pre sented those appearances which it always does when a human being is about to forfeit his life for the commission of murder. As early as six o'clock a great number of persons had gathered round the scaffold, and those places from which a good view of the culprit and the scaffold could be obtained were taken possession of, even at that early hour. There were many women amongst the crowd. The majority of the spectators were of the labouring class. At a few minutes after seven o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Sidney and Mr. Sheriff Hunter, accompanied by the Under-Sheriffs, Messrs. Ashurst and Martin, arrived, when the reporters were admitted. Mr. Sheriff Sidney then came forward and stated that the pri soner made a full confeision the day after his trial, which was drawn up in writing, and having been signed by him, was trans mitted to the Secretary of State. Mr. Sidney said he had no ob jection to give the purport of the confession, though be could not favour the reporters with a copy. The prisoner stated in it that he committed the crime from the motive imputed to him—namely, because he believed he had contracted a disease by his Intimacy with the unfortunate woman; that he was not right in his head at the time, from weakness, caused by the ill. ness under which he was then labouring, and from the quantity of medicine which he had taken to cure it; and that whilst in this state he had previously committed many acts of violence towards his parents, and had killed a cat and some birds, of which he at other times was particularly fond. He had also stated that the daughter of Mr. Oldham, the cutler, of High street, St. Giles's, where he bought the knife with which he committed the n - urder ; was correct in saying that he had a pimple on his nose at the time; that it was not at the side of his nose, as she had stated, but on the front of it. Shortly before his trial he offered to plead guilty to the charge, and to make a confession, if the Sheriffs had not provided him with counsel. They declined, however, to receive any statement from him then, and assigned him counsel. Mr. Ashurst said that the prisoner's father came to him on Saturday, and said, that his wifz had heard that the coat in which her unfortunate son appeared at his trial was to be sold for the purpose of being exhibited on a figure in tended to resemble him, and that she was, in consequence, in great distress of mind. He stated that they should have the coat, but that he would keep it a month before he delivered it up. From the time the prisoner came to Newgate he had conducted himself in a most becoming manner, paying the greatest attention to all that was said to him, and denoting, by his whole line of conduct, that he was most grateful for the kindness which had been shown him, not only by the Sheriffs, but by Mr. Cope and every one connected with the prison. He had not attended the prison chapel since his trial, and at his father's request, who is said to be an honest consistent man. It now only wanted a few minutes to eight o'clock; the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Ordinary, the Sheriffs, the Governor, the Deputy Governor, and the reporters were then admitted into the cell, the Rev. Mr. Rolfe having previously prepared the prisoner for the in terview. Calcraft, the hangman, had come in after the Sheriffs. Connor was sitting on a form, and was repeating after his spiritual adviser some of the prayers of the Catholic Church, which the Rev. Gentleman read from a book. He looked very pale, and was wonderfully Balm and re!igned. He was dressed as at his trial. He submitted to the process of pinioning with the most astonish. ing coolness, and instead of offering any obstruction to the execu tioner, he placed himself in a position in which the painful task might be easier performed. The procession having been formed, he walked out of the cell with the same undisturbed demeanour which has characterised him throughout the whole time he has been in custody. At the door of the cell he bowed slightly to the turnkeys, Hurnphery and Absale, and passing through the chapel-yard and the few passages which lead to the door at which the scaffold was erected, where he Some yelled stopped i for a moment undismayed by the sight of the crowd, and As de he r : p a e m w e e r out a d i m u s a t n ed y i n n o l i e s s e a s th w a e n r were set minute; u pb yt the e h the ecgrao and t ming mounted the steps, walked to the fatal spot with great firm. the whole of an d sho u ted , cap and th e tod y of the whilst c u l p o r t i h t e othe rs . c u t a t p r theirp e e m d bled v violently, e n i d a s i . y , aThend MONDAY EVENj the ;es vier, t.ousually ion:, au long that loway in :he crowd cried " shame," having been brought to a close, the di:.g fell amidst the screaming of the women. In a few minutes the unfortunate youth—for he was but twenty years of age—had yielded up his life. He seemed to struggle fur a few moments, but his sufferings were not great. 6 The Rev. Mr. Rolfe favoured us with the following statement, written by the prisoner yesterday, and signed by him a little after seven o'clock this morning : " I fully acknowledge that I was guilty of the murder with which I was charged, and I beg pardon of God and man for the horrid crime I thereby committed. I beg the prayers of al good Christians for my poor soul, and I hope that all Catholic young men will take warning by my sad fate, not to neglect the duties which their holy religion prescribes. Whilst I adhered to its pious precepts and practices I was virtuous and was happy. When I neglected them I fell into bad company—plunged into vice—stained my soul with murder, and am now about to forfeit my life on the scaffold. 1 resign myself to a shameful death, as a penalty I have justly deserved by my crimes, and only hope Almighty God will, in his boundless mercy, through the merits of Christ, accept it and my repentance, however late, as a small atonement for my many offences. " June '2. " JOSEPH CONNOR?' The Rev. Gentleman said that the prisoner went to bed at ten o'clock la 4 night, and did not awake until half.past five this morn ing, maid that he ate a roll and a half, and drank three cups of tea, for breakfast; lie administered the Sacrament to him this morning, not extreme unction, as it was only usual to administer that rite when persons were in danger of dying from sickness. The body was cut down at the usual hour, and the scaffold hay. ng been removed, the crowd dispersed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. LONDON, JUNE 2.—Wind S.W., moderate breeze, and fine.

The letters brought by the Hibernia steamer from Halifax were not delivered until rather a late hour this morning, owing, we are told, to the great increase in the colonial commu nications between this country and the United States. From the published accounts it is considered quite clear that all apprehensions of a serious difference of opinion upon the Oregon question are at an end. This is most satis factory, as fears Were entertained in many quarters that the commercial intercourse with America would have been interfered with, and that, too, just at a period when symptoms of a good improvement were most apparent as respects the markets for British manufactured goods. It is quite certain that the Polk party has almost lost caste among the majority of the people of the United States, and from previous accounts, we are led to the conclu sion that the peace party are rapidly rising as the ascendant, and that the extension of mercantile pursuits is now the principal object of those connected with trade and commerce. There is some interest felt in the City in favour of the plan for the construction of a railway in conjunction with the Man chester and Birmingham Continuation and the Welsh Junc tion Railway. The Provisional Committee comprise a great num. her of highly influential names. It is, in some quarters, ajected that there are engineering difficulties to encounter, but we are assured that these, as compared with those that have been overcome in existing lines, are of easy accomplishment. It is somewhat remarkable that here, as well as at the principal outports, a sudden demand has sprung up for bonded wheat for exportation ; this is especially the case with re spect to Hull. In the circular of Messrs. Wright and Young, of Hull, we find the following:— "In the foreign grain trade a decided improvement has taken place. Since our last a good demand has arisen for wheat, particularly bonded, for export' to Holland and Bel gium, and prices have advanced 3s. per quarter ; owing, however, to the little that remains in this port, the transac tions have not been important. Barley, and other descrip tions of spring corn, have also been in better request, but without any material alteration in their value. " Our last Tuesday's market was moderately supplied with English wheat, which met with tolerably fair sale at an ad • vance of 2s. per quarter upon the rates current on that day week, the ofillers being, as heretofore of late, the chief pur chasers. From the information that has been received from the Con tinent, a belief was induced that the crons were looking excessively well, and that there was plenty of wheat on hand. The former statement we believe to be true, but with respect to the latter Very considerable doubt exists. and hence it is that a speculative market now exists for foreign grain here. With respect to our own crops, there is little doubt but they will prove most abundant if anything like a fair harvest weather should prevail when the sickle is ordinarily in request. The advises by the Halifax steam-ship being of a most peaceable nature, the demand for EnglisliLStock has been most animated. Consols for the Account have reached 100%.

An immensity of business has been transacted in the Railway Shares this morning, and, as will be seen by the official list of prices, in almost all instances, at advanced prices. It may, in fact, be stated with truth that never was the bond fide demand so animated as it has been to-day. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

British North American RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) GROUP A. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND NORTH KENT - - EAXLW AY. The Committee reassembled at twelve o'clock, by adjournment from Friday last, and rammed the consideration of the North Kent line. Mr. M lIRREWSTRER, for the South.Xastern Company, submitted that it would save trouble if the parties were to exchange drawings and plans of the bridges and cuttings contemplated in the two projects. This proposition was, after some conversation, acceded to. Mr. MERREWETIIER then proceeded with the cross.examination of Mr.Vignolles, who stated that the extensions to Sheerness and Blackwell were given up before the Bth of April last, because the witness ascertained that these branches would cost more than had been at first estimated. On the part of Messrs. Hatblock, the tanners, Mr. Malian wvrumt examined the witness at some length as to the mode in which it was his intention to provide 50 tan-lots, in lieu of 50 to be filled up for the line. He (Mr. Vioolles) stated that he had arranged for ►he construction of the new pits upon the site of the present tannery. Mr. MEIIREWILTHILIi said that he was Instructed to say that no such arrangement had beets made. Mr. Vignolles was further cross.examined by Mr. Wasfonst on behalf of the London and Croydon Railway—Was acquainted with the atmospheric principle, and was the first engineer who brought it into operation. He had no doubt that the London and Croydon Company could work their line upon the at mospheric principle, with the gradient of 1 in 50, which they had adopted. The atmospheric railway can be worked at times and under circumstances were a locomotive could not go. The cost of a locomotive was not so high as a shilling. In some places in was only ficl., and he calculated that by his arrangament he could run the engines at an average of Bd. He was not aware that any of the southern railways paid more than Is. On the Sheffield and Manchestar line the cost was but 6%d. It was probable that he had stated in a former examination that the atmospheric principle could be worked at half the expense of a locomotive. In that es timate he calculated the locomotive cost at 10d. a mile, and the atmospheric at 4d. or 41d. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP AA. WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY. The Committee on this group assembled at twelve o'clock—pre sent,:Mr. Henley (chairman), Mr. Glynn, the Marquis of Granby, and another Hon. Member. Mr. Sergeant WRANGLIAII opened the case for the promoters of this line. On his conclusion, Mr. ALEXANDER applied to be allowed to appear in opposition to the Bill on the part of the Great Southern and Western Corn pany. His ground of application was that an agreement which had been entered into between the two parties—the prosecutor and his clients—had been violated. Sergeant WnLsGIIAM resisted this application, contending that the applicants bad no locus slandi before the Committee. Upon this question the room was cleared. (Lair IlTTINI.) C LXV3E,PO AND nURY The Committee resumed at the usual hour this morning, Sir C. Lemon in the chair. The first witness examined was Mr. T Taylor, an extensive cotton.spinner, residing in Wigan, who stated that the present cost of sending goods to Liverpool was Ss. Pd. per ton., including cartage; by the proposed railway it would be ss. exclusive of cartage—with cartage;7B. Most of the machinery used at the Wigan mills was made at Bolton. There were a great many manufacturers of ma chinery at Bolton, but none in Wigan. The roads between Wigan and Bolton were so hilly, that, though they were only ten miles distant, it occupied a day in carting goods from one place to the other. He principally hired carts, paying at the rate of 6s. SI per ton. If the new line were made it would be only 2s. 3d. If the projected line were made, the traffic between Wigan and Bolton would be greatly in creased. There was a large agricultural district lying on the line projected. Farmers would be greatly benefited by the projected line ; and in respect to passengers, lie thought there would be a great number of third-class passengers. The saving both in time and money would be very great to the people of Bolton and Wigan. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS—Had been in the cotton business for nine years. Had been a tanner, and did not manufacture anything merely spun. Would as soon send twist by railway as by canal. Obtained machinery from Bolton as well as from Bury. The cost per ton, for machinery from Bolton, was at present Gs. Bd. When he said the cost of goods by railway would be 9.e. 3d. per ton, he did not include any extra charges, but merely the railway tonnage. The distance between Liverpool and Wigan was twenty-four miles by the present line of communica tion, and by the projected line it would be lessened to 18. Re-examined by Mr. HARDY— It was of great importance to get cotton.twist expeditiously. This railway would afford cheaper conveyance than any other. The opinion of the people was divided in favour of the projected line. Might have slightly over-stated the distance between Liverpool and Wigan half a mile or so. To the COMMITERE—Cotton-twist did not suffer by railway car- riage. The next witness examined was Mr. Richard Pennington, a cotton-spinner at Hindley. He said—The distance from Hindley to Wigan was three miles, and to Bolton seven miles. These towns lay very close by the projected line of railway. The popu lation of Hindley is about 5,500. That population is chiefly em ployed in the manufacture of cotton, and in working at the col lieries. I employ about 400. I employ steam.engines of 100 horse power. The amount of cotton spun at Hindley per annum is about 2,000 tons. The cotton is nearly all brought from Liverpool. We obtain it chiefly by the Leeds and Liverpool canal—from Liverpool it is taken to Leigh, and thence carted to Hindley. The distance by this route from Liverpool is about 44i miles. The canal charge is ss. per ton, the cartage from Leigh 2s. per ton, so that the total coast from Liverpool to Hindley is about 7s. per ton, ex clusive of cartage and porterage at Liverpool. By the projected line the distance would be limited to about twenty miles. The new line would pass close to Hindley. (I,IIIT airmen.) GROUP L. PORTSMOUTH ATMOSPHERIC MINE. The Committee on group L sat this morning on the atmospheric line to Portsmouth. Present, Mr. E. B. Denison in the chair; Mr. Oswald, Lord Clive, Mr. R. M. Milnes, and Mr. Vyvian. The Hon. Mr. TsLaor, Q.C., opened in favour of the promoters, and in:the course of his observations stated that if there had been a more important string of towns to which for the first time the South. Western Company were about to give the benefit of railway com munication, he could not for a moment pretend to contend with the right they claimed to supply the two important ports of Southamp ton and Portsmouth with their transit to London, but such was not the case, and it was evident that if the South-Western Company obtained their line they would provide but an inefficient line and deprive their shareholders of a portion of their revenues, as the return on the Portsmouth line must be an abstraction of the re turns from the line to Southampton. If two means of convey ance, however, were established, there would be all the advantages which could possibly be derived by the public, while neither of the companies could possibly be injured. In addition to this, the pro posed line directly to Portsmouth introduced a new principle, which all allowed to be of the utmost importance if it were available. The bugbear of amalgamation, however, could not here affect the question, because the proposed line must go through the lands of several companies. By the establishment of the atmos pheric line, there would moreover not only be the benefit of com petition but the advantages of the testing of a new principle of the highest importance. The expense of constructing a double line of atmospheric railway was undoubtedly greater than the construction of a single locomotive line, but equally undoubted was it that it was not superior, even if it were equal to the con struction of a double locomotive line. The expense of working an atmospheric line was far less than that of a locomotive line, and in proportion as the trade increased the cost of transit was reduced. The first expense was greater, but the po Ner was concentrated, and the interest of the Company was evidently to increase the number of trains. It was, therefore, intended that the Company should make their trains as numerous as possible. On the locomotive lines it was the interest of the Company to attach as many carriages, whe ther of passengers or goods, as they could to one train, so as to re duce their expenditure. An instance of this was given lately by the London and Birmingham Railway Company, who had refused passengers, except by their usual trains, while, on the other hand, it will be to the benefit of the Atmospheric Railway Company to send as few passengers, even as few as ten, by one train. By the report of the Select Committee on the atmospheric principle, it appeared that that principle was, except at the crossing places, both safer and cheaper. In another place they came to the decision that the cost was in all respects cheaper ; and in deciding on competing lines of railway, it was always to be re membered that it should not be held to be an objection to an at mospheric line, simply because the gradients on that line were too severe to be overcome by a locomotive train. lie was prepared to call the same witnesses as had been examined before the Select Committee. (11.17 T SITTINC GROUP S. This Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock Mr. J. S. Wortley in the chair. LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE RAILWAY. On the sitting of the Committee the opposition of Mr. Dimsdale was withdrawn, the Committee having intimated that he could not appear agalcst the preamble and the estimate. The case in support of the Bill was then proceeded with. Mr. JAMES, for the promoters, called Mr. J. Gibb, C.E., who stated that the proposed embankment of Lough Foyle was perfectly practicable, and could be done within the estimate. He had had much experience in draining seas and lakes in Holland, and was, therefore, competent to judge of the proposed works. Major Scott, who resided on the banks of Lough Foyle, gave evi -1 dence in favour of the proposed line, which he said would be of great advantage to the district through which it would pass. Mr. John Rennie gave evidence as to the increasing trade of Coleraine. The trade since IS2el had doubled. (LEFT irrriNG.) GROUP V. GROUP W. _ .._ . Mr. James Smith was called, and stated that he valued the land which had been reclaimed from Lough Foyle at 3/. an acre per annum. Mr. Samuel Eason, a land-surveyor at Newtown Linivady, was called, and said that the land to be reclaimed Irom the lough was worth, in his opinion, 25 years' purchase. Mr. Samuel Hemming, contractor for public works, proved that the embankments could be made within the estimates. Mr. James Beadle, a surveyor, of London, gave similar evidence. Mr. Lanyar, the engineer of the proposed line, was called — The cost of the line over the embankment would be 14,0001. a mile. The Committee met this day and proceeded to hear the further cross examination of Mr. Cope, which had been adjourned from the Saturday evening, on the subject of the traffic tables. The witness was questioned at great length us to his details, but without in the slightest degree causing him to alter the substance of his tables. Mr. Skidmore, an accountant and assistant in the formation of the tables to the last witness, was examined by Mr. BAINES, and stated that he had placed men on different stations of the intended and neighbouring lines, and he was satisfied from daily examination that the returns given were correct. He afterwards assisted Mr. Cope in making them up. Mr. Gibbs, C.E., was called, and examined by Mr. AD:►AI—He had examined the line, and thought the proposed one the very best line that could be laid out. He had examined the estimates, including the permanent way, and he thought them correct. The length of the line was 12 miles 1 furlongs. The gradient de. scending into Sheffield would be a severe one, but as the bulk of the waggons would descend it, it would be of the less consequence. The steepest gradient was 1 in SO, and that was only for a length of 14 miles. The viaduct into Sheffield he thought constructed in the best possible manner, but he could not give an opinion as to the value of the property beside it. (Lair SITTING.) GROUP 88. wzxronn AND CARLOW IZAILWAY. --- This Committee met today at 12 o'clock ; Mr. Colquhoun in the chair. The evidence in favour of this line of railway was resumed. Mr. Leckie, of Carlow, farmer, deposed that the inhabitants of that town were decidedly in favour of the line. There would be a great number of passengers from the south and south-west of Ireland, and it would tend materially to increase the traffic between Wexford and England. The markets of Bristol would be opened to the Irish farmers, and especially for fat cattle. The prices in Bristol for cattle were much better than in Liverpool. The line would, in his opinion, have the tendency of in. creasing this, a large and important branch of trade. There was a great number of passengers travelling yearly from Carlow and the adjacent towns to Dublin. The number he esti. mated to be 85,428 annually. A portion of these passengers would be diverted into this line. There were many very large cattle faire held in the neighbourhood of Carlow. There were 229 fairs held annually in the district found Carlow. The circuit was from ten to fifteen miles. An immense number of cattle changed hands at these fairs, and the greater portion for the purpose of ex portation. There were forty-six lime kilns in the neighbourhood of Carlow, which supplied 76,146 tons of lime annually. The yearly sales of butter inCarlow and a small adjoining market-town was 36,000 firkins, in value 121,500/. A considerable quantity of butter was ex ported from Carlow in small tubs, and it was generally sent by coach. All the butter sold in Carlow was for the English market. The large firkins went by Waterford, and the small tubs by Dub. lin, London, Bristol, and Liverpool were the principal points of destination. The quantity of wheat purchased in Carlow and its neighbourhood by millers and corn-dealers, was 123,000 barrels ; the quantity of oats upwards of 200,000 barrels ; and the quantity of barley, 59,600 barrels. The tons of goods sold by 180 shop keepers of Carlow were upwards of 9,000. The tonnage of the grain soli in the district was near to 60,000. It was his opinion that a great portion of this would go by Wexford if the railway was formed. At present Dublin and Wexford were the exporting and importing towns for those goods, The bacon trade was likewise an important branch of sale in the district. A large quantity of fine marble was quarried in the district, and exported to England. Its price in Carlow was 2s. 6d. per cubic foot; in Bristol it was 51. It was generally used far tomb-stones and chimney-pieces. The whole county of Carlow was in favour of this line. A resolution at a public county sleeting was unanimously passed in its favour. Wexford was a famous fish market, and the line would greatly facilitate the supply of Carlow and the adjoining towns with that article. The present mode of conveyance was very imperfect and slow. — . The witness was cross.examined,by Sir W. itYDDELL, on behalf of the competing line, the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin, without eliciting any point of material importance. (LISDT DITTINO GROUP DD. THE CLYDESDALE JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock, and shortly afterwards proceeded with the further consideration of the scheme before them. .... Mr. Graham, the Parliamentary agent, announced that the op. position to the line, on behalf of Mrs. Douglas, had been with. drawn, in consequence of an arrangement that had been made between her solicitor and the railway company. _ __ The re.examination of Mr. Errington was resumed by Mr. GREGG, who endeavoured to show that the course of the line through Mr. Graham's property, as at present laid out, would materially , injure it. and that all difficulty might be easily obviated by a small deviation of the line. It appears, by evidence, that thirty cottage gardens would necessarily be destroyed by the proposed deviation through the village at Cambaslang. The plan did not show that more than four cottages would have to be taken for the purposes of the railway. Mr. Graham's proposed deviation would be at least 100 yards longer than the present line, and a very expensive archway would be necessary to be made, and the turn pike road must be altered. The cutting through Mr. Graham's property would diminish twenty feet from the central altitude of forty feet. On examination by Mr. HILDYARD-Mr. Errington said that he considered there would be a very increased traffic at the Kilmar nock and Cumnock station in case the Clydesdale Junction Railway were not made The station at Glasgow could be very greatly en. larged if it was necessary. The CHAIRMAN interrupted the cross-examination, and observed that the Learned Counsel was bringing subjects before them on the arrangement of erecting a station which did not properly come under their jurisdiction, but ought to be referred to a decision of the Board of Trade. Mr. HILDYARD said, in the present instance it was known that the Board of Trade entertained views which were not exactly in accordance with the opinions held by the Ayr Company. (LIFT SITTING.) GROUP EE. ABERDEEN RAILWAY. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Baring Chair man, when the consideration of the clauses of the Aberdeen Rail way Bill was entered into. The several clauses were read, and with several unimportant amendments, agreed to. The Chairman was then instructed to report the Bill to the House. THE SCOTTISH MIDLAND RAILWAY. Mr. HOPE proceeded to open the case on behalf of this line. GROUP FF. The Select Committee on this group re.assembled at one o'clock this afternoon, and proceeded with the general traffic evidence in favour of the EDINEURGH AND NORTHERN EINE. Mr. Marshall, who had taken an account of the existing traffic on the whole route of the line, and whose evidence in chief closed the proceedings on Saturday, was cross-examined at some length this afternoon, with the view of discovering discrepancies in WI tables and calculations, but nothing of any importance, gr, at all events, nothing that appeared likely to shake the foundation of his former testimony was elicited. DRAYTON AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee on this line met to-day at 12 o'clock, Mr. Pakington, chairman ; Lord Seymour, the Hon. Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Bouverie, and Mr. Whitmore present. The examination of the merits of the proposed line was then continued, and Mr. Fletcher, whose evidence was partly heard on Saturday, proceeded to state that 2,500 tons of stone were yearly sent from the quarries in the neighbourhood of Leeds, and exported from Goole. A line was at present being constructed near the quarries, which would greatly increase the facilities of exportation. Some of the docks and bridges at London have been built with the stone from this district. The proposed line would greatly increase this trade. The chief market for the stone was London. Woodhouse stone was an excellent stone for common purposes. Coals at present came on the Leeds and Selby line. Thought that coal would come from the collieries in the West Riding by the proposed line to Goole. From his opinion of the comparative merits of Goole and Selby, as ports for the exportation of the coal of the district, a great portion of the coal which now went to the latter place, would if this line were formed, go to Goole. About 50,000 tons of mer chandise (sugar, wool, indigo, soap, spirits, fuller's-earth, &c.) came from London to Goole in the year 1844. This quantity all went to the Bradford and Leeds district. A great proportion of this quantity would go by this line. Keeps two steam boats for passengers, one plying between Goole and York, and the other between Hull and York. There was another party who had a vessel plying between Hull and York. Received 2501. per week as his gross receiptslfor the Goole boat, and rather more for goods. The receipts of the other boat he should say were more. The receipts of the Hull boate from Goole to York were about the same as the Goole boat, but from Hull double that amount. In his opinion the whole of this traffic now shipped at Selby would be transferred to Goole. It would be very injurious to himself. The feeling at Goole was very much in favour of the proposed line. In his opinion the corn from the eastern district would continue to be conveyed by water from Goole inland, in preference to any railway. MST SITTING.) GROUP X. LONDON AND ironic LINE. The Committee at this day at twelve o'clock, In Committee. room No. S. _ . . __ Mr. S. C. DENISON announced that be appeared on behalf of Lord Scarborough. Mr. Sergeant WRANCHAM— IS it to the preamble of the Bill? CHAIRMAN—Yes. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM mid he understood that the petitions of laxdowners were confined to Sir William Milner, he being the only one who appeared at the time. Mr. DuNisow said that this was the first time he appeared before the Committee, and did so sow, because he had been led to under. stand that the power of Lord Scarborough to appear at any time during the investigation had been reserved to Lord Scarborough. The CHAIRMAN mid that that was his impression. Mr. M. Sstrril then proceeded to cross-examine Mr. Cubitt, but the noise in the room rendered the questions and answers fur a few minutes inaudible. The witness was understood to say that it was in September, 1844, he was appointed engineer to the line. The line proposed to go about three miles through Lord Salisbury's property ; did not hear that the Company were abpUt to abandon that, The number and names of all the stations on the line had not been st all fixed. The stations on such a line formed a vary important item in the estimate. There were to be stations at Lon don and York, besides ten other stations of the first class, ten nr the second, and twenty of the third class. lie a ll,-- • for all the stations—that was stations; on the loop —.ea 350,0001.
