LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1845. The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. A short conversation took place on the subject of the new Houses of Parliament, and Lord BROUGHAM and several other Noble Lords complained in strong terms of the inconveniences to which they were subjected in consequence of the delays which had taken place in the completion of the new Houses. In reply to Lord CAMPBELL, the LORD CHANCELLOR stated that he hoped, in the course of next week, to in troduce a measure to remedy the defect occasioned by the taking away the challenge to the array in jury cases in Ireland. Lord COTTENHAM moved the committal of the Eccle siastical Courts Consolidation Bill. The motion was opposed by the Bishop of EXETER, and after a short dis cussion, the Bill was ordered to be referred to the Select Committee. The Calico Print Works Bill was read a third time. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the adjournment of the House to Monday, which was opposed by Lord BROUGHAM, on the ground that it was absurd to lose a day on account of a ball to be given elsewhere. Noble Lords might come down to the House in their ball costumes. The House then adjourned until to-morrow (this day.) The SPEAKER of the House of Commons took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several railway and other Bills were forwarded a stage. Mr. LABOUCHERE then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, pledging the house to adopt some measure to prevent parties promoting Rail way Bills, which might be thrown over to next session, suffering from unnecessary expense and delay ; and ap pointing a Select Committee to inquire in what manner it might be expedient to carry such measures into effect. Sir G. CLERK admitted the importance of the sub ject, but objected to the pledging the House to the adop tion of any particular course, and therefore moved as an amendment, " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the several Railway Bills, and report what measures:could be adopted to facilitate the pass ing of Railway Bills through Parliament, and what course it might be most judicious to adopt in refer ence to Railway Bills to be brought before the House during the session." After a short discussion, the motion was withdrawn and the amendment was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in reply to Mr. LABOUCHERE, that it was now a settled point of law, that Jersey had no more right to import British spirits into this country free of custom's duty, than Ireland or Scotland had. In reply to Lord JOHN MANNERS, it was stated by Sir IL. PEEL, that passports had been granted to Don CARLOS to proceed to the Pyrennees, for the benefit of his health. On the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Scotch Banking Bill being read, Mr. P. M. STEWART expressed his decided disappro bation of the measure. Sir B. PEEL hoped the Hon. Gentleman would allow the Bill to go into Committee, where the details could be discussed. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. HUME, Sir W. CLAY, Mr. HAWES, Mr. BAILLIE, Mr. C. Woos, the Hon. Mr. BOUVERIE, Mr. MUNTZ, and Mr. BARING, after which the House went into Committee upon the Bill, and Clauses 1 to 7 having been agreed to, the Chair man reported progress, and the House adjourned at One. The Convention recently negotiated between the King of the FRENCH and the Queen of ENGLAND for the prevention of slave trading under the respective flags of England and France, is a compact honourable to the character and the reciprocated respect of two great nations. It is a noble pledge, recorded and de posited at the altar of humanity, by those of all the states of Christendom and civilisa tion which are most competent to act as her irresistible champions. How happy for the peace of mankind and the repose of nations, were the emulation of these two States never to exceed the limits of this generous rivalry in the cause of human liberty, or that struggle for priority in the perfecting of their several institutions social, morn!, and political, or in the career of liberal arts and of science, in the results of which the destinies of all the other races of mankind are so profoundly and extensively interested. This Convention, which is understood to have been signed so lately as Thursday last, is remarkable for the tone of good faith and earnest intention which prevades its ten articles of succinct and intelligible stipulation. The preamble, or recital, of this Convention recurs to the two Conventions of November, 1831, and March, 1833, executed between the contracting Powers, as " having attained their object in preventing the slave trade under the French and English flags;" but it is de clared that they have not proved competent to effect the complete suppression of this odious traffic, and the said Powers having it much at heart to concur in the requisite measure for this object, declare that the present Convention shall be substituted for, and stand in lieu of, those former instruments. By the Ist article, the King of the FRENCH engages, within the shortest possible period to establish, upon the western coast of Africa, from Cape Verd, to the meridional lat. of 16 deg. 30 min., a naval force of 26 cruisers, as well sailing vessels as steamers ; and the Queen of GREAT BRITAIN engages to establish a force of similar amount, steaming and sailing cruisers, on the same portion of the African coast. By subsequent articles, the two Powers agree to maintain a strict surveillance upon all this range of coast, especially at those points where slave-trading is carried on; and, for this purpose, they will exercise all the powers pertaining to their respective flags, except only as to the restrictions introduced into the present Convention touching" French and English ships. The officers of the two squadrons are to concert together the best means of proceeding in the objects of this Con vention, settling stations, devising the regulations under which the cruisers of the two nations are to act together, or separately, as may be found most convenient ; any treaties that may be concluded by either force with native chiefs along these coasts shall have for object only the suppression of the slave trade ; and if concluded, separately, by an officer of the British force, the option of acceding to it shall be reserved to the King of the FRENCH ; and so, vice versa, if concluded by a French officer, the option of concurring in it shall remain to the Queen of GREAT BRITAIN. When both Sovereigns con cur, the expenses attending the negotiation of that treaty shall be borne by both Governments in equal proportions; but where the employment of the military or naval forces shall be found necessary for the execution of said treaties, and in conformity to the law of nations, neither flag shall engage in such operations without the consent and concurrence of the other. When the squadron of the King of the FRENCH shall be ready to commence operations, that fact will be formally communicated to the British Sovereign ; and the two Monarchs will issue a joint declaration that the operation of this Convention is about to commence. The right of mutual search, esta blished by the Conventions of 1831 and 1833, shall cease to be exercised in three months after such decla- The two Powers pledge themselves to interdict all slave-trading in any colonies they do now, or may here after, possess, and to use all means to prevent their re spective flags from l7.ein,g employed by their subjects in carrying on a slave-trade with f 'reign nations, or being in any other manner connectA with slave-trading of any kind. The tenth and final article regards the mode in which the r;:cogi:ised servants and functionaries of the contracting Powers shall proceed in conformity with the objects of this Convention, in six months after the joint declaration above alluded to of the two Sovereigns shall have been promulgated. Such is a brief abstract of a compact that promises to be of more practical service in efficiently repressing, and finally (let us hope) extinguishing the slave-trade than previous treaties of a more elaborate character for some years past have been able to accomplish. There is a moderation about the language of the contracted obliga tions on either party—an absence of all pretensions in one party that might possibly be distasteful or offensive to the other—a calm and grave avowal of the great ob jects common to both—from which we augur a bright and hopeful future for the negro elf that by racesof ht Western at Africa. But we also indulge the gratifying by thus combining in a noble work of national charity, If T/E SUN, LO'N'llo of European beneficence, and of Christian duty, the hos tile tendencies of the two mightiest monarchies in the world, arising out of the conflict of their balanced powers and their vast resources, will become gradually neutral ised; and that the dangerous spirit of an unquiet, though it be a generous rivalry of political grandeur, will give place, at no distant day, to a strict, an invincible, and a genuine " Holy Alliance" for the extension and consoli dation of their united peace, prosperity, and power. The intelligence from Spain, which is to the 29th of May, is of a very gloomy character. The funds are falling rapidly, the Bank of San Fernando has refused to grant any more loans ; .the journals, which formerly supported the Government, with one exception, have turned against it, owing to the late arbitrary proceed ings of NARVAEZ ; and circumstances altogether fore bode some new convulsion. In what shape it will appear no one can tell, but the country is evidently roused against the despotic Government of CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ, and will follow almost any leader who will have the courage to brave this reckless military dictator. The Espectador journal had been seized, because it contained an article stating that above thirty persons had offered their services to the proprietors of the Clamor Publico, and 300 more were ready to put down their names and bid defiance to the prosecutions of the Government. The Tiempo, hitherto friendly to NARVAEZ, boldly de clares that within four days the Government has become revolutionary, and it denounces the arrest and deporta tion of the three editors as arbitrary, unjustifiable, and odious acts, and as the commencement, without any authority and without any cause, of martial law. A popular tumult, or something worse, was expected at Madrid, and the troops of the garrison were consequently kept in readiness in their barracks. Additional troops had also been ordered for the provinces, but probably they will be more required there than in the capital. The poor young QUEEN, with her mother and sister, escorted by NARVAEZ, had arrived at Chinchilla on the 27th, after a cold, wet, and fatiguing journey. The Bourse on the 29th exhibited a very dismal ap pearance, not fewer than nineteen defaulters having been declared on that and the previous day. One ac count says, the funds have continued declining, reaching a point which they had not experienced for many months, since Threes were offered for cash at 32i, with scarcely a purchaser—a real panic prevailing on 'Change. Day by day many millions are sold by the supreme com mittee belonging to bankrupt speculators, or those who do not appear to claim their stock. Capitalists look on passively at a state of things whose result they cannot foresee unless a prompt remedy be applied. The Three per Cents. closed at 32% for cash, and 33 1 / at 60 days ; the Five per Cents., at 23% for cash; and 24 at 60 days ; the Coupons, at 27% for cash ; and the Debt without Interest, at 8 for the 10th of July. The Paris Moniteur contains a royal ordonnance' dated the 3d inst., announcing that M. GulzoT is re instated in his office of Foreign Minister, which had been held by M. DUCIIATEL during his illness. On that day M. GUIZOT attended a cabinet council held by the KING, and his Majesty counter-signed the new treaty for the suppression of the slave-trade. Every dispatch ap pears to be made for bringing this question to a final settlement. "We are assured," says the Journal des Debuts, " that an attache of the Minister for Foreign Affairs set out from Paris on Tuesday afternoon, for Lon don, carrying the treaty with him. It is believed that the ratifications may be exchanged on Friday next between Lord ABERDEEN and Count DE St. AULAIRE. It is pro bable that on Monday or Tuesday next Admiral MACKAU will present to the Chamber of Deputies a Bill for carrying the treaty into immediate execution. The Bill will contain a demand for a sum of ten millions of francs for completing the number of 26 steam boats and sailing vessels, of which our squadron is to be composed." The same journal in answer to one of the objections made by the opposi tion to the treaty, namely that a navy cannot be exer cised unless engaged in war practice, says :—" We are really desolated, that this disastrous state of general peace, in which the world is thrown by the fault of one Ministry, does not afford more active occupation to our navy, but we confess that we are not much affected with these gymnastic considerations. We do not think it indispensably necessary to seek a quarrel with Eng land, or any other country, solely for the purpose of ex ercising our squadrons, and we are persuaded that our sailors will resign themselves to the accomplishment, with less Mat, perhaps, but certainly with as much ho nour, of acts which most promote the cause of humanity and liberty." The state of the French navy will be brought before the Chamber of Deputies in a few days. The report of the Committee on the budget of expenditure for 1846 had been distributed on Wednesday, and, according to that document, the naval estimates are increased by 4,700,000 francs, as compared with the present year. The following is a brief summary of the state of the navy, as given in the report. The sailing vessels afloat are stated to be :-23 ships of the line of all classes ; 30 frigates ; 19 corvettes ; 26 brigs; 47 galiots, cutters, and luggers, with about 60 smaller vessels—in all, 220 vessels. The sail-. ing vessels in dock are:-23 ships-of-war of different ranks, of which about two-thirds are, finished ; 20 frigates and 5 small vessels—total, 48 ships partly finished. Of steam war vessels afloat there are 4 frigates-1 of 540 horse power, and 3 of 450 horse power; 8 corvettes-1 of 320 horse power, and 7of 220 horse power; 41 steamers of 160 horse power and under —total, 53. Steamers on the stocks:-4 frigates, lof 640, 1 of 540, and 2 of 450 horse power, about half-finished ; 10 corvettes, 5 of 320, and 5 of 220 horse power, one- fifth finished, and 8 steamers of 160 horse power and under, only commenced. The report adds, for the service of the year 1846, it is proposed to keep 170 ships of dif ferent sizes in a state of armament, namely, 8 ships of the line, 12 frigates, 12 corvettes, 25 brigs of war, 30 gun brigs, and other smaller vessels, with 62 steamers, of which 3 are of 540 and 450, 3 of 320, 10 of 220, 23 of 160, and 23 of 120 and under. In commission de rade 12 ships, namely, 4 ships of the line, 4 frigates, and 4 corvettes. In commission du port, 4 ships, 4 frigates, 4 smaller vessels, and 6 steamers. The Committee expresses its disappointment at the smallness of the French navy, and urges the Ministry to complete the reserve in conformity with the royal ordonnances of 1837 and 1842. It appears from the naval inscription that the number of sailors in scribed during the year 1845 was 112,462, which shows an increase since 1838 of 22,938 men liable to service, and in the year 1844 alone of 3,052. The Committee expresses satisfaction at the disposition shown by the inhabitants of the coasts for the naval profession, as holding out good ;prospects for the commerce of the country and the defence of the state. The strength of the army is fixed:at 340,000 men and 81,689 horses, in which are included 60,000 men and 15,398 horses, for the service of Algiers. The total estimates for the year, as drawn up by the Government, amount to 1,302,502,3861. (51,000,0001.), which the Committee propose to reduce by 5,630,000 f. The Constitutionnelstates, that Lieutenant D'AUBIGNY had returned from Otaheite to Paris, but had communi cated with the Government only by writing. Passports had been granted to Don CARLOS and his Consort to leave France. It was understood they would take up their residence in Savoy. A letter from Vienna, of May 24, says:—" The Court of Austria has been officially informed of the speedy arrival of Queen VICTORIA in Germany. Prince AL BERT is to accompany her. Her MAJESTY'S arrival has also been officially announced to the Senate of Frankfort." Ou the Paris Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 85c. ; the New Loan at 86f. 10c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 25c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,230 f. ; Rouen, 1,1101. ; Vierzon, 8221. 50c. ; Havre, 887 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 1,040 f. ; Basle, 273 f. 75c. ; Spanish Three per .

NORTH UNION RAlLWAY.—Wednesday a meeting of this Company was held in the Cotton Sales-room, Liverpool, for the purpose of taking into consideration and deciding upon the Bill for the consolidating of the Bolton and Leigh, the Kenyon and Leigh Junction, the North Union, the Liverpool and Manchester, and the Grand Junction Railway Companies. The chair was taken by Mr. Rathbone, who read a statement to the meeting. After which, he proposed a resolution approving of the Bill, but as it received a great opposition, headed by Mr. Powell, the motion was lost, and the provisions of the Bill disapproved of. The meeting also passed resolutions in favour of the Bills for enabling the North Union Company and the Ribble Navigation Company to make a branch from the North Union Railway to the Victoria Quay, at Preston, and also a railway from Southport to join the North Union Railway, at Euxton. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE BRANDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.—SUNDERLAND, TUESDAY.—Yesterday evening, as the quarter-past five o'clock train was proceeding from Newcastle to this town, an accident occurred about a mile from the Brockley Whine station. It appears that one of the rails having been left by the men who are mending the ways in an insecure state, the passenger-carriages were thrown off the rails, and fell over with great violence, two or three of them being smashed to pieces. Several persons were injured; two of them, Mr. Sacker, of the firm of Greenwell and Sacker (extensive merchants, of Sunder. land), and Mrs. Newton, of Sunderland-street, very seriously; and the lady,',who is not expected to recover.

There are no later arrivals to-day. The following particulars respecting an important branch of trade may be interesting to some of our readers :- " The good demand for consumption experienced in April has continued to the present time, and to this only must be attributed the rise in price. There has been no speculation, but a steady good business doing for consumption. It is generally stated that the supply of English Tallow is short, and far below an average; it certainly is the fact in London and in many parts of the country; the high price of meat, protracted winter, and shortness of fodder, favour the presumption that for some time at least the supply of home fat will not be abundant. The low price, and very cold weather, have enabled the chandlers to work up a considerable stock of candles, and it will, I think, be found that this has tended both to keep English Tallow scarce and assist the demand for Foreign. A considerable business has been doing in Y.C. to arrive. Within the last teu or fourteen days upwards of 12,000 casks have been sold, and the disposition to buy is at present more vigorous than to sell; 41s. 3d. is the present price. s The chief pur chases have been of a speculative character, but some, though few, of the trade have been buying for their consumption. By the letters from St. Petersburgli, dated the 12th and 24th of May, the Russians were asking 105 R. for May and June, and 104 R. for August delivery, and these letters answer to our price of 395. 6d., it is therefore probable that we may hear of a further advance in that market. The accounts respecting the quantity of New Tallow to be brought down still vary a few thousand casks, but they ge nerally agree that the quantity will be less than that of last year. There is reason to believe that the New Tallow will be much better this year, in consequence of the strictness of the brack. The Market for the Public Securities has been drooping to-day, and there have been speculative sales of Consols for the opening which have caused a decline in them to 99 and 98%. The Reduced Three per Cents. have been 99 to 4, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 102 1 / 8 to 34, being relatively better supported than Consols. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been 60s to 635. Bank Stock has been firm at 211. Long Annuities are 11% to 7-16. The Foreign Bonds are quiet again. Spanish Three per Cents. are 4114 , and the Passive 7% to %. Portuguese Converted have been 67% to 67%. Mexican have realised 38 1 / %, for the Actives, and 21 to 1 4 for the Deferred. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. are 6378, and Austrian 116. Railway Shares in general are still rather fluctuating, and tending, downwards in some instances. Rugby and Tring are 11% to 1% prem. ; Oxford and Worcester, 3% to 3% prem. ; Birmingham, 136 to 140, being rather better ; and Great Western, 127 prem., which is not so high as yesterday morning.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very moderate scale, they not having exceeded 3,160 quarters, hence the show of samples of that article was small. Selected parcels commanded a steady inquiry, at fully pre vious rates ; but all other kinds were a slow inquiry. In Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond, very little was doing, yet the quotations were supported. Barley and Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. There was a steady demand for Oats, Beans, and Peas, at full prices. ARRIVALS. Barley. 690 qre English ...... Irish ...... .. Foreign ...... Wheat. 3,160 qrs. Oats.

There were on offer 100 Oxen and Cows from Holland, and 300 Scots from Scotland. The numbers of Sheep were rather limited, owing to which the sale for them was rather active, and, in some instances, more money was obtained for prime old Downs. 150 Lambs were received from the Isle of Wight. Generally speaking, the Lamb trade was active at very full prices. Calves moved off freely, at late rates. In Pigs a fair business was doing.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) TEED V. KERSHAW. This was an action for a balance of 201., for goods sold and deli vered. The plaintiff is a wholesale grocer in Bishopsgate-street, and the defendant a country grocer. The case possessed very little interest, and arose from a dis puted account. The defendant had claimed a deduction of 201., alleging he had paid that sum beyond the amount given credit for. This, however, was denied by the plaintiff, who, after the dispute, sent stamped receipts for the different payments, defendant having threatened to set proceedings in motion against the plain tiff fur using receipts on unstamped bills. The 20/. still renaained unpaid. The jury, without hesitation, gave a verdict for 19/. 19s. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held this morning at the Nine Elms Station, Vauxhall, Wm. Chaplin, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair, for the purpose of agreeing to the draft of the Bills which the Com pany Gave at present before Parliament. The drafts of the following Bills were unanimously agreed to without discussion, namely, for a branch to Richmond, for the ex. tension to Hungerford and Waterloo.bridges, for the purchase of the Guildford branch, and for the extension to Portsmouth. The Dorset and Salisbury Railway Bill was not submitted, as ar. rangements with the Woods and Forests Commissioners have not been completed. As far as that Bill was concerned, therefore, the meeting was adjourned to this day week. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING, 4 A.M. The fast-sailing New York packet-ship Yorkshire, Captain Bailey, arrived here last night about 12 o'clock, after a quick voyage of 17 days from that city, and, therefore, bringing four days later dates than those received by the Hibernia, The Yorkshire has 33 passengers, amongst whom is Mr. Polk, the brother of the President, on his way to the Court of Naples, to which he has lately been appointed Minister. There is not any important news by this arrival. We extract the following from the New York Journal of Commerce:-- " The tone of the Government organ seems to be sufficiently conciliatory in regard to British relations. It professes a desire for an adjustment of the Oregon question, on terms consistent with our rights and honour. What more could an official organ say ? It could not be expected of it at once to espouse the cause of Great Britain." GENERAL JACKSON'S LErrza.—We copy the following extract of General Jackson's letter to Mr. Blair, of May 3d, probably the last he will ever write, from the Washington Union. The first paragraph relates to the General's papers. " I wish them handed over to you, to whom I will send them for the defence of my reputation. There are many private papers that ought to go into no other hands but a eonfidential friend's. " Our friend Colonel Polk will now 4 4 * 4 4 4 , to meet the braggadocia and bluster of Peel and Russell, put forth at this time to alarm the timid and spur up the American traitors. My dear friend, lam exhausted, and must close ; I am a blubber of water from the toes to the crown of my head, and every line I write must pause, for breath. May the choicest blessings of Heaven be bestowed on you and every branch of your family, is the united prayer of the inmates of the Hermitage." The letter occupies a little more than two pages of letter paper. Exchange on England, 9% to 934. " THE BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE" IN SUFFOLK Is now positively fixed to take place the 24th inst., and it is equally certain that the sale will be entirely without a protecting price beyond the mortgage money, which is little more than half its value, so that the capitalist may be quite sure of an advantageous investment of his capital. Mr. George Robins's description of this estate, which, independent of creating a " powerful Lord of the Manor," besides a large income and lots of consequence arising out of the manor, speaks thus of the land and scenery : " Here verdant pastures wide extended lie, And yield the grazing herd exuberant supply; Luxuriants waving in the wanton air, Here golden grain rewards the peasant's care." Mr. Robins concludes his remarks by stating that although he has taxed his ingenuity in vain to find an opportunity to reduce the slight colouring he has given to the landscape, recommends it as one of the safest and most eligible investments in the market.— Suffolk Paper. . - DUBLIN, JUNE 4.—This day an assembly of de putations from various parts of England and Ireland, composed of Protestants of all religious denominations, took place in the Rotunda, for the purpose of conference, and of giving expression to the feelings entertained by the members of the religious corn. munities represented by them, respecting the proposed increased grant to Maynooth. The meeting was held in the Pillar-room of the Rotunda, and was attended by upwards of two hundred clergy. men. Sir Cullen Smith , among others, addressed the meeting. An address to the Queen, against the grant to Maynooth, was adopted. LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, SOUTHAMPTON ammuiNGs, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The eighty-sixth quarterly meeting of members was held in the theatre of the Institute, Mr. Birkbeck, President, in the chair. Mr. M`Farlane read the report. During the last three months 142 new members joined, making a total of 640, comprising 19 ladies ; 156 books were given by friends to the library, and the several classes were well attended. The receipts, including a previous balance, amounted to 3231., which the expenditure exceeded by 91. ss. 10d. The outstanding liabilities figured 2,0621. The report, in conclusion, stated that in the ensuing quarter additional classes will be formed for music, landscape-drawing, and elocution, and that Mr. Coulton intended lecturing upon the poetry and genius of the late Thomas Hood.

This Committee met at half-past twelve o'clock, Mr. Henley in the chair. THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN (IRELAND). The postponed clauses were then taken into consideration. Mr. Bankes, as agent to this railway, put in several amended clauses, the object of which was, that in the event of the Bill for the formation of the Limerick and Waterford Railway not passing this session, then the Great Southern and Western would be at liberty to form a branch line from Tipperary to Limerick, and which line would be given up to the Limerick Company, they pay ing all the expenses of construction. Mr. PONSONRY, on the part of the promoters of the Limerick and Waterford Bill, hoped that the Committee would, in the event of the Bill not passing this session, decide that the Bill should be considered next session to be in &amaze. The CHAIRMAN said that it would be desirable that an inter. pretation clause should be agreed to, so as to consider the Bill next session as if it passed this session. Mr. BURKR pressed the Committee to divide. The CIIAIRMLN said there was some difficulty in the course they had to pursue. (SFr sirrixa.) GROUP 88. WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICKLOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY. The Committee assembled to-day at eleven o'clock, Mr. Col quhoun in the chair, when the evidence was resumed. Mr. Brunel, the civil engineer, was the first witness called. He said he was the engineer of the Great Western and and Bristol and Exeter Companies. If completed it would, in his opinion, be of the greatest advantage in connecting the south of Ireland with South Wales. The points which had been named, Fishguard In Wales, and that at which the railway terminated, near to Wex ford, he considered well adapted to secure that connexion. The Company fur the line was already formed, the necessary capital subscribed, and application would be made for a Bill in the next session of Parliament. The im provements contemplated . in the harbour of Wexford were such as would make it an excellent packet-station. That was part of the Company's plan. The project was very well supported by Irish interests. He did not know sufficient to say how far the trade of Carlow was capable of supporting an independent line. The branch line proposed would give Carlow two exporting har bours, Waterford and Wexford. To Mr. TALaor—The South Wales line is proposed to cross the Severn. The Lords of the Admiralty had withheld their consent to the bridge being formed at the point now proposed to be crossed, but that would not render the scheme impracticable, as the Severn could be crossed at Gloucester, or some other part. Mr. Saunders, secretary to the Great Western Company, was examined as to certain correspondence which had passed between him and the agent of the Carlow and Wexford Company. Mr. Bratton, assistant to Mr. Brunel, was examined relative to the cuttings and embankments in the Wexford and Carlow line, in which he pointed out certain serious discrepancies in the state. went of Sir John MiNiell, and the actual facts as taken by himself. This closed the case for this project, when Mr. MURPHY replied at some length to the evidence adduced, and in behalf of the Wexford and Carlow line. (LIFT 'lrmo.) GROUP F. The Committee met at eleven o'clock this day, in Room No. 11, the Right Hon. F. Shaw, in the chair. OXFORD AND RUGBY RAILWAY BILL. Immediately on the assembling of the Committee, the room was cleared. On the re-admission of parties, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had come to a vote, binding the parties promoting the Oxford and Rugby line to insert a clause in their Bill that after five years, provided it should be recommended by the Board of Trade, they shall lay down the nar. row gauge in addition to the broad guage now granted. Mr. VENABLE', for the promoters, then drew up a clause in accordance with the decision of the Committee. The other clauses were then agreed to, and the schedule having been gone through, the Bill was disposed of, and the Chairman will report accordingly. GROUP FF. EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN LINE. The Select Committee reassembled at twelve o'clock this morn ing, after a two days, recess, and proceeded with the negative evi dence in the case of the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. Mr. CRAWFORD intimated that several petitioners had withdrawn their opposition to this Bill, and that arrangements had been made with the borough of Dysart and the trustees of Dysart Church. Mr. WHATELEY admitted that a liberal offer had been made to the trustees of Dysart Church, but Lord Rosalyn, who was the chief trustee of the establishment, was not inclined to accept it. He did not, however, propose to put in further opposition in favour of that Noble Lord against the Bill. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to enumerate the objections of his clients to the Bill. He said the Edinburgh and Northern Railway would avoid a number of important coal-fields in Forfarshire ; but the Edinburgh and Perth line, which must be considered as the alternative railway in this instance, would open up these great fields, and have the beneficial effect of materially increasing the coal trade of the district. Another objection to the Edinburgh and Northern Railway was the inconvenience of the Burntisland Ferry, where one portion of the railway would have to terminate. At some periods of the year that ferry was wholly impassable, and at others it was partially intercepted by natural causes. The same objections, however, could not apply to Queensferry, because at this point the river at all times and at all seasons was easily passable, and it was by this route that the promoters of the Edinburgh and Perth Railway proposed to carry the line. It was clear, therefore, the Edinburgh and Perth line would afford more advantages to the public than the Edinburgh and Northern Railway, and as the pro.. grass of the latter would very extensively and ruthlessly interfere with private rights and private property, he called upon the Com. mittee to negative the preamble to the Bill for authorising its con struction. The Committee was afterwards addressed at great length by Mr. Seegeant WRANGHAM, on behalf of several landholders in the county of Fife, who opposed the railway upon precisely similar grounds to that of Mr. Whateley's clients. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP GG. GLASGOW atTNCTION RAILWAY. The Committee, consisting of Mr. Evans (Chairman), Mr. P. S. Miles, Lord Grimstone, Mr. Muntz, and Mr. Newdegate, met at twelve, at the Sessions.house, Westminster. A long discussion took place, and Mr. Bannatyne, a law agent, Glasgow, was examined with reference to the question of whether the project had received the sanction of the Incorporated Com panies of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railways. Mr. Bannatyne said that he had caused a strict search to be made in the journal and other offices of the House of Commons for the petitions, with the corporate seals of the companies attached, presented to the House of Commons, praying for leave to bring in this Junction Bill. By some unfortunate mis. take, however, they had been mislaid and could not be found. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and by Mr. Hope, with the view of showing that the majority of the proprietors in those lines were opposed to the project. Mr. Bannatyne reiterated again and again that the petitions emanated from companies, and had received the sanction of their seals. Even after the project had received the sanction of the House of Commons it would be necessary to receive the assent of three fifths of the proprietary, sailed at a special general meeting, for that purpose, before it could be taken before the House of Lords. (LEFT SITTING GROUP K. THE NORWICH AND BRANDON RAILWAY. This Committee resumed this morning by the examination of Witnesses on behalf of the promoters of the Bill. Lord Sandon in the chair. Mr. John Edward Lacon, examined by Mr. ANDREWS, Q. C., briefly deposed to the accuracy of the traffic and distance tables, and the feeling of the town of Yarmouth, as evinced by the meetings held there being in favour of the Norwich and Brandon line. Cross.examined by Mr. CALVERT—The price of coals at Yar mouth is 16s. a ton ; the cost of carriage from the north to Yar mouth is 7s. a ton ; the pier dues 7d. a ton, and the corporation dues 2d. a ton; the price, therefore, in the north being about Eis. or 9s. a ton. A line which would connect the colliery with the consuming districts of Norwich would be very valuable to the latter. Mr. James Dunn put in the distance tables, which stated the distance from Dereham to Bury, via Attleborough and Diss, to be 504 miles; via Thetford, 44; through Norwich and Diss, 57 ; Brandon and Ely, 65k; from London to Cambridge, 681; and to Bury by Lynn and Ely, 67. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP RK LIVERPOOL AND DUET LINE. The Committee resumed at the usual hour, Sir C. Lemon in the chair. The cross-examination of Mr. Thompson, the engineer, was continued by Mr. Sergeant BELLASII, but nothing in the least degree interesting was elicited, there being nothing but dry and uninteresting topographical details and arithmetical calculations, (LEFT iITTING.) GROUP P. NEWPORT AND PONTYPOOL. On the re-assembling of the Committee this morning, at twelve o'clock, Sir T. PHILLIPS addressed the Committee on the railway tolls, and laid a tabular statement of the whole expenses of the railway, with its contemplated improvements, before them. The expense of the new railway would be 120,0001., and improvements would cost 40,0001. The original capital of the Company was 240,0001. The amount of debts was 41,8371., making a total of 441,337/. A sum of money, amounting to 39,0001., had been borrowed, and the gross total of capital, speaking in round numbers, about 500,0001. The present price of the shares in the market would be worth 200,0001. more. The income of the railway derived from the carriage of iron at lid. per ton, tin at Id., and coal at id. per ton, would be 4,183/. 95., and from passengers the gross amount would be 2,9951. 45., from which 40 per cent. being deducted for working expenses, a net annual income of 5,9801. 15s. would be the result. Mr. KEATING called Mr. Barber, who deposed generally as to the probable revenue which would result from the Newport and Pon. typool line. When made, it was estimated at about 30,0001. The witness also showed the superiority of the proposed new line over the Taff Vale Railway.] (LIFT SITTING.) GROUP R. DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN. The Committee assembled at twelve o'clock, and resumed the examination of witnesses, Mr. Gibson Craig in the chair. Sir John M`Niell, civil engineer, examined, said that the pre. sent line would form a good communication between the north west of Ireland and the city of Dublin, and was part of a plan which was to be carried forward to Sligo. He was now engaged in making plans for the extension of the line from Enniskillen to Sligo. His calculations, however, of traffic had nothing whatever to do with the success or failure of the extension of the plan. There were no planes so steep as to require an assistant engine, unless for very heavy trains. The severest gradient was one in 102. There was a station on the top of that plane. There were no peculiar engineering difficulties, or tunnels, or viaducts. The entire length of the line was upwards of 62 miles. It crossed no navigable river, but it crossed the Ulster Canal once. The canal was crossed at an eleva. tian of 17 feet, and would not be at all impeded in its navigation. The gradients, with the exception of the one he had named, were of the most favourable character. There were several roads crossed upon the level, but they were at places and ever highways where the public would not be endangered or inconvenienced. Nearly all of them were at stations where police would be always in attendance, but those which were not so situated would have police appointed to watch them. These level crossings were neces. sary to avoid heavy embankments.: (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP SS. The Committee on this group re -assembled at the usual hour this morning, and proceeded with the affirmative evidence in the cue for the promoter of the EREWASH VALLEY RAILWAY. Mr. William Wilson, agent to the proprietors of Swanwick col. . —...--....—.........0.--- , . . liery, and a resident at Alfreton, proved that the Swanwick coi ltieries w ou ld h ave to be shut up if Parliament refused ro sanction this railway.

The alines . 1 „. citly admitted that the recently projected Nottingham and Mil_ . gate line would just as well serve the Swanwick Colliery as yNwdoo,op, o_o_ the r ; wash Valley line. The Learned Counsel endeavoured t° e ', CI . from the witness the fact that the former line would have a ra . 3 , 1, 1 •al advantage over the latter, the one being so completely lo s isl e as to be unavailable for any other but coal traffic, while lb °t P si would have a tolerable quantity of passengers as well al r4inef traffic.
