Mr. .S A NDFO RD made •some observation, after which The SPEAKER called upon Mr. POULETT THOMSON; who said he had to bring up the report of the Select Committee on Railroads; he should move that•it be . printed and taken into consideration to-morrow evening. He wished to state that the Committee recom mended that the second reading of Railway Bills should not be interfered with, but that they should pass to-night merely pro, forma ; and when there were. - conflicting lines, if the par - ties consented; that all the Bills should be referred to the same. Committee. It also recommended, that though the. second reading might now take place, yet that two or three days ought to be permitted to intervene before the appoint •:ment of the Committee. That would be no inconvenience whatsoever to the parties, and if they did not wish the Bills, in ease of conflicting lines, to go before the same Committee, they would not be compelled to do so. Lord G. ".S OME R SET.wished to know if the recommenda tion of the Committee only extended to where there were con flicting lines. Mr. P. THOMSON said it was so.

An Hox. MEMBER presented a petition on this subject. An Hox. MEMBER said he held in his hand a petition against Stephenson's line. The SPEAKER said, the question before the House was, that this Bill be read a second time. After a few observations from two Ilon.

This Bill was then read a second time. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET put off until to-mor row, the presentation of a petition against (as we understood) the Doncaster Railway. :NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. Mr. BAINES presented a petition in favour of the North Midland Railway Bill. On the motion of Sir JOHN BECKETT, the Bill was read a second time. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. Mr. TOOKE presented petitions from Pendarves, in favour of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Bill. A great number of petitions were presented in favour of and against the Bill by Hon.

MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. On the motion of Mr. TOOKE the Middlesex Hospital Incorporation Bill was read a second time. Mr. W.

Sir EA RDLE Y WILMOT presented petitions in favour of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Bill. Mr. STUART (as we understood) presented petitions to the same effect. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET moved the second reading of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Bill. Petitions in favour of the Bill were presented by Lord G. BERKELEY, Mr. HOPE, and another Mem*, who was unknown in the Gallery. Lord G. BE RKELEY presented a petition praying that car riages might be allowed to run upon the railway. The peti tion had his warmest support.—( Laughter.) The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL WAY. Lord H. E. SOMERSET moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. P. M. STEWART said he had to offer some op position to this Bill on the part of the Proprietors of the Thames and Severn Canal Company. In the distance of eight miles, the railway crossed the canal no less than six times; besides this was a case at which the House ought to look with great suspicion, for the line selected was most objectionable, there being no less a rise than one of 236 feet in the eight miles—it sometimes being no less than 63 feet in one mile. It would ruin the canal which had been made at an expense of 300,0001. ; and though the trade was now flourishing, the dividend was not above 1 4 per cent. He would not divide the House in the present state of the pro ccedings with respect to railways, but he would protest against it, on the grounds he had laid before the House. Mr. PALMER had been asked to state to the House a case of very great hardship connected with this Bill. This rail way, by the proposed line, went through the property of his Hon. Friend, the Member of Chichester (Mr. Smith), for four and a half miles, and came within 220 yards of his resi dence. He believed there was not one of the Bills before the House which so interfered with private property as this one. He trusted, to whatever Committee the Bill was referred, his Hon. Friend would obtain some redress, by an alteration of the line. Mr. CRIPPS . did not expect that a Bill for a Railway of such utility as the one under discussion would prove, would have met with such opposition. He was very sorry for his Hon. Friend (Mr. Smith), but though he had nothing to do with the Railway, he was happy to support it, though the fact was, it went very far through his property, and came nearer to his house than to that of his Hon. Friend. After some observations from Mr. P. SC ROPE and Mr. GORDON, which were inaudible in the Gallery, the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. MANCHESTER AND CHESHIRE RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. WILBRAHAM this Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. Mr. JERVIS presented a petition from Chester in favoi of the Bill. MANCHESTER AND STOCKPORT RAILWAY.

Wairant, and that Sit -Rufane Donkin had vacated his seat 'since :the Coniiiiittee bad last assembled. LONDON AND GRNVESEND.RAILWAY. Sir A. GE A RY moved tbe:second reading of this Bill. ANGERS'rEIN opposed - the Bill on the ground of its inipracticability. It -Wad got up by a few specu lators in London, and was inopposition to the wishes of the great majority of the inhabitants. - Besides, it was impossible it could be carried into effect, as they would never be perMit ted - to run it through Greenwich Park, without which the Work could not be carried on. Mr. G. F. YOUNG felt it his duty to oppose the Bill. It was impossible that. such a speCulation as this could succeed, hen - there.were a number of sVam 7. - ..9„5 . 5e1s who took passen- P etrs to Gravesend for - dite shilling a Mr. ANGERSTEIN then proposed that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. An HON. MEMBER presented a petition in favour of the Bill. Sir W. GEARY said, as one of the Members for that Divi sion of Kent, felt bound to present the petition for this Bill. lie did not think the Member for Greenwich had made out a case in opposition to the Bill. Mr. LAW HODGES did not think the parties had com plied with the preliminary steps neceszary for this Bill, and he should therefore oppose it. 'Mr. POTTER said Gravesend was one of the places of amusement resorted to by the citizens of London, and he hoped the house would set their faces against anything which could curtail the amusements of the people, which were al ready too few.- He certainly would vote for the second read ing of the Bill. Mr. BARLOW HOY made some observat!ons which were inaudible in the gallery. Mr. AARON CHAPMAN said that there was the ad vantage'of the railroad, that persons going to Gravesend by that conveyance would not be afflicted with sea-sickness. He should vote for the Bill. Sr WM. GEARY said he had no objecti in that the saeoEd -eading of the Bill should be postponed. _ _ _ _ 111 r . —C. WOOD said that . it had been stated that Govern ment had refused their assent to the measure, on the ground of its interference with the rights of the Crown. The fact was that Government only ordered inquiry into the subject, and as yet no decision was come to. _ After a few words from Mr.. WAnruhrox and Sir ROBERT INGLIS, Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed that it was said that the assent of the Crown was refused. Enquiry had been made by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and it was found that the obstacles in the way had not been satisfactorily explained, but they were not prepared to say that the advice of the Crown should be withheld. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was cleared for a division, and there appeared— • For the second reading 63 Against it Majority The Bill is consequently lost. BURLINGTON PIER BILL. Mr. BETHE LI.; moved tke second reading of this Bill. Alderman THOMPSON said he had no objection ,what ever to ships actually using harbours, paying the dues for those harbours, but he had strong objections to those ships which merely passed the harbour being called upon to pay for that which they had no occasion. He moved that the Bill be read that dao six months. Mr. G. F. YOUNG objected to the principle of thy' Bill, and would give every opposition to it in his power. If it was necessary for the sake of humanity a har bour should be kept up upon a particular part of the coast where it could never be expected to pay the Go vernment ought to support such harbour, and he would rather leave it in their hands, under the superintendance of his Hon. Friend the Member for Middlesex. (Laughter)—than in the hands of Commissioners. He would oppose the Bill, for a great many of the same kind were car ried into execution, merely for the purpose of splendid pr3me nades at watering places. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND said the principle laid down by the Hon. Members was very good, but he could assure the House, that if no passing toll was exacted, this pier.could not be kept up. He had seen 150 ships laying at Harnburgh head in distress, many of which had afterwards put intoßurling ton—had they nor had that harbour, they must have stranded. It had been said that the tolls in many instances had been spent in making splendid promenades at fashionable watering places. 'Mr. YOUNG did not make that observation with reference to the present Bill. Sir G. STRICKLAND continued—The toles upon their harbour were very small, and if taken away altogether it would be impossible to keep up the harbour at all. Several storms had taken place which had nearly swept away the old pier. Mr. HUME trusted if the harbour required more money to keep it in repair than its tolls produced, his Majesty's-Mi nisters would institute some special inquiry on the 'subject. He would join the Member in instituting an inquiry, in order that the matter might be droperly sifted. Sir M. W. RIDLY said that the object of the Bill would be desirable, but as no doubt there would be opposition to it, he would suggest to the Member who had charge of the Bill that it would be better to postpone the further consideration of it, until some further inquiry was instituted. Mr. BETHELL had no objection whatever to the pro posal of the Hon. Baronet, and would p os tp one th e second reading of the Bill till this day fortnight.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from certain watermen of London, praying the House not to enter tain► any Bill for building a new Suspension Bridge over the Thames between Waterloo and Westminster bridges. BISHOPRICK OF DURHAM. Mr. HUME wished to ask, before the orders of the day were proceeded with, whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government in any arrangement made for tilling the vacancy of the see of Durham, that it should be subject to the same alterations, reductions, &c., as were made in the See of Derry some time ago, in the course of the rc= forms which were now in progress ; and -also whether there was to be any reduction in the amount of the salary attached to the See. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in the absence of his Noble Friend, could state that it was the inten tion of Government to introduce a Bill on the subject of the See of Durham, 'which would comprehend not alone the question of future emoluments, but also the immediate separa tion of the civil functions from the episcopal office, according to the recommendation of the Commissioners appointed to in quire into the affairs of the Church..

The Earl of WINCH ILSEA would move for a copy of the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, ap pointed last Session, to consider the mort effectual means for preventing bribery and corruption in the election of Members to serve in Parliament.

H E U R O s to l ri o N k S E t E h s e s C O O h F a F i r C , a r t O H t h iW c e u COMMONS. lal O u N The S P EAKER SE. Mr. LEADER wished to call the particular attention o f the Speaker to the list of names for the presentation of peti_ tions before he proceeded to call it over. He dared to say that a more illegible paper than that was had never been seen ; and, as a cublic document, it was a disgrace to those who had given it in. He had witnessed the manner in which it had been passed, and such a scene he had never witnessed before.— ( Hear, hear.) It was more like a scramble among schoolboys, or of a parcel of poor men in the streets for pennies.—( Hear. ) It was, to say the h alt of it, a most irregular proceeding, and some remedy ought to be applied as soon as possible.—( [lean) Mr. R. PALMER was also present, and could say that there was a good deal of scramble. It was desirable that some person should be directed to write the names in a legible man ner, instead of gentlemen doing it for themselves.--- - (Hear.) An HON. MEMBER was free to confess that he took part in the scramble, having a petition to present in support of a Bill in which his constituents took a groat interest. The Bill was to be read a second time that nigt, and he knew that if he did not present the petition, it would appear in the eyes of his con stituents as if he had neglected his duty. The SPEAKER said that in consequence of the great in crease of business there must be some new arrangement. Un der these circumstances, if it were the pleasure of the House to establish the ballot, he would do so, if it met the approbation:of the House.—( Cries of " Ballot, ballot.") Mr. TOOKE thought that the inconvenience would be obviated by a recurrence to the prastice of Imt Session, viz., allowing the private list to remain on the table during the morning.--( Cries of " No, no.") Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought that it was the duty of the House to take the earliest means of applying a remedy. He, as well as every other Member of that House, was dis posed to receive every suggestion that fell from the Chair with the utmost respect and deference, but he submitted that the suggestion for the establishment of the ballot world be productive of great inconvenience. Mr. E WART suggested the desirableness of g i v i ng a day to rublic petitions. A.Tr. ROEBUCK thought they might avoid all difficulties if Members who had the conduct of Bills ballotted for prece 7 dence, and all the petitions in respect of such Bills were pre sented when the Bill itself was read. Mr. HUME thought the proposal suggest d by the Speaker was perfectly fair. He knew no reason why private business should not have an equally fair chance as public busines3. Ha hoped that a ballot would be taken, as he was sure. it would give the greatest possible satisfaction. He would only say that with the increasing business of the House, unit ss some other tribunal was established for private business, it uould be utterly impossible to carry it on. Mr. HUM.E said he would give notice that the same rule •hould apply to private as to public business. The SPE AKER—The question now is which of the lists will take precedence, WESTMOOR CANAL. Mr. MILES moved the re-appointment of the Committee on the Taunton and Bridgewater Canal ; and that the petition which he presented the other evening with respect to the West moor Canal should be referred to that Committee. The SPEAKER made some observation, which was in audible in the Gallery. Mr. MILES said that the consent of the proprietors of the Bridgewater Canal had never been asked. Mr. A. SANDFORD, as Chairman of the Committee, could assure th.) House that the proprietors of the Bridgewater Canal had had notice, and had acknowledged that they had notice. He thought that, under these circumstances, the Committee ought not to be revived. The subject then dropped. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of the Mr. MILES this Bill was read a second time. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY BILL - - Mr. GISBORNE moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. V. SMITH wished to call the attention of the House to this Bill, although he knew that the House was very unwilling to listen to discussi ons u p on seco nd readings.— ( Hear, hear.) He knew the House was extremely un willing, but at the same time, since no preliminary steps were to be taken with these Bills previous to the second read ings, he thought that it was the duty of those who knew the circumstances, of these Bills to lay them before the House. It might be true, that if he did not object gene rally to the principles of this Bill, he should not object to the second reading, but the House could not be willing that the whole country should be uselessly intersected by these railways. —( Hear, hear.) It appeared that the Committee recommended that the different lines of railways should be referred to the same Committee. It was necessary that the best line should be chosen. He complained that the line proposed by the pre sent Bill was not t h e best or the most direct, and that it did not take in the important towns of Northampton and Har borough. If the line went through these towns, it would make it six miles shorter than the proposed one. These were matters to which he thought it right to call the attention of those members who were likely to sit on the Committee, and did not know the local circumstances of the case. These were the reasons why he felt it necessary to call the attention of the House to the Bill on its second reading. He would not press it further, as he trusted that some arrangement would be made in Committee, by which these inconveniences would be obviated. He knew not why the Bill should have been called the Midland Counties Railway Bill, when the great midland county (f Northampton was not in it. He hoped these remarks would be sufficient, and that the House would take care that the lines proposed would be in every case those which were for the national advantage. After a few words from Air. Ross, Mr. Gisborne,. and an other H on . M em b er, the B i ll was r ead a second time. ULSTER RAILWAY. Lord CA STL ERE A GII moved tha second reading of the Ulster Railway ,Bill. The Bill was read a second fnle, and order 94 to be c9llln*ted. ICE BOUND WHALERS HUTT begged to know whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to send any other vessels to the assistance of the ice-bound whalers ? Mr. C. WARD said that Captain James Ross had been despatched to their assistance, and the Admiralty did not think it necessary, at present, to send anv further assistance. MUNICIPAL REFORM (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON presented a petition (we believe) from the Corporation of Dublin against this Bill. Mr. E. TENNANT ,presented a petition from Belfast against the Municipal - Corporations (Ireland) Bill, Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition signed by 30,000 inhabitants of Dubiin, praying for an equal participaton of priVileges in Corporations with the English people. • Mr. D. CALLAGHAN presented a petition from Cork, signed by 8,000 persons, in favour of the Irish Municipal Cor porations Bill. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented petitions from Dutidalk and Bangor in sppport of the Bid. • (LEFT SITTING ) PARLIAMEN TARS' PIPERS.

In consequence of No Wonder passing on the wrong side or the post, the stakes were adjudged to Emperor as second hor:e.' Orion was about forty yards behind the Lad, and Fox nowhere. The distance was between two and three miles, and was dem in about ten minutes. TI UNTING APPOINTMENTS. • The King's Starr Hounds meet on F r id ay at B e df ont Tollgate.

LEEDS.—The demand for goods at both halls has been been quite as good as for the last few weeks past, more par ticularly for low and middle qualities, which, in conse quence of the continued large purchases, are now become scarcelY adequate to the demand, and prices in consequence, are rather on the advance. There has been a considerable influx of buyers at market since the 20th inst., and business has been unusually brisk in the warehouses. HuDnEnsriEr.o, FEB. 23.—There continues to be an increased demand for broad cloths and narrow plains of a low quality ; prices a little in advance. Fancy buckskins and checks the same as our last account, brisk, and sold as soon as received from the loom. We never knew a time when there were so few woollen goods in our Market Hall as at the present time. BRADFORD, FEB. 25.—The advance in the price of piece goods, specified in our report of the 11th instant, has not only been maintained, both at last week's and this week's markets, but even a further advance has been sought to-day, though it is difficillt to ascertain bow far it has been complied with ; as, whilst some of the merchants have hesi- tated to givo,others have bought freely ; and it is evident there has not been any slackening -in the demand for goods to-day, compared with any market during the present year. Wetheri are fetching high prices for the Leicester trade. FEB. 20.—There has been an average quantity of pieces sold in the Hall to-day, at prices similar to those of last week. Manufacturers contintvi their ope rations-with great activity, and on account of the smallness of the stocks of stuff goods, both here and in all places whither they are exported, they are anticipating a brisk and profitable summer trade. The spinners of this town and neighbourhood are fully employed, and say, that the orders which they are obliged to reject. would occupy double the machinery that they have running. Yarn, however, although in excellent - demand, has been nearly stationary in price during the last fortnight. Some descriptions of wool, such as super wtthers and super hogs, have risen about 20s. per pack of 2401b5. within the last week ; but a great deal of business has been done to-day at last week's prices. WAKEFIELD, FED. 26.—We again report long wool a little improved in value since our last. Short wool may also be quoted a shade higher, and that stocks arc taken off as they are brought to market. TIIE GWENNAP MURDER.—On Friday last, a most horrid murder was committed at Gwennap, in this county : a monster in the human form having taken away the life of his child, a daughter, of the age of fourteen years. It appears that for several.years the wife and children of this un happy person, whose name is Philip Manuel, have been under the necessity of living away from him, in consequence of his brutal conduct, and his repeated threats to murder them. On the day above mentioned the deceased and another sister went to his house to ask for some meat and some money, when he became enraged, and ordered them to go away. They re fused to go, and remonstrated with him, which only increased hip anger; he threatened to shoot them unless they left immediately, and going into the house brought out his gun, and fired at the younger girl, but without injuring her 'beyond the effect of the alarm : it was said that the gun was not &lotted ; however, he fired a second time without further effect, and such was the desperation which the children were driven to by want that all the threats of the unnatural parent were disregarded. lie then loaded the gun a third time, desired his elder child, on whose life he held a lease of his farm, to stand apart from the youwer, and took a deliberate - aim at the latter, who fell at his feet mortally wounded. He then told his other child that unless she left place, taking her wounded sister with her, she should in- staniiy share the same fate. Some persons hearing the report of the gun hastened to the spot, and found one of the girls •v-eltcring in her blood, and her sister by her side, recommend ing her to call upon the Lord to have mercy on her soul. The dying girl was conveyed to St. Day (where her mother and tha rest of the family reside), and two surgeons were sent for who, on examining the wound, found that a hall had entered at the back of the neck, and penetrated the windpipe, conse qr,ently death was inevitable, and the poor creature died the following morning, after suffering great agony. An inquest was held on Mond4y, which lasted all day, when the Jury re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder " against the unnatural parent. —Falmouth Cornubian. FLOGGING A GHOST.—Much excitement has been occa-ioled within the last few days in the neighbourhood of the Wandsworth-road, in consequence of the mysterious ap pearance and disappearance of a supposed " ex-human being" all in White, whose perambulations were confined to certain lanes and other isolated places in the vicinity of Short's-fields.. The taste of the perturbed spirit was exceedingly equivocal, inasmuch as rumour with its " hundred tongues" stated that this ghost seldom attacked other than the fair sex. To the cost of sundry of the latter they discovered that "there was a method in the madness" of their tormentor, partaking more of were to be this life than of the other, consequently som e of the r ougher ex on Friday night last, at a quart er to the " witchin g hour" e t i i i i n t a ise , re but exc a u s sa t b h l e e y on that n exact, sallied forth, and placed t hemselves in vari ous parts of ,he ghost's domain.
