LONDON, FRIDAY jVENING SUN, ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Mornii:g, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring- a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE. (THIS DAY.) PRICE sd. THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE 0 CLOCK, in Time for the EARLY TRAINS and TOIVN DELIVERY ; a SECOND EDITION ( E ven : ng S un ) i s Published in Time _lb?. the AFTERNOON TRAINS IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT DOUSE OF COMMONS. The House met at Twelve o'clock, and at ten minutes past Twelve the SPEAKER took the Chair THE RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL. Mr. AGLIONBY said, that before the Speaker left the chair he should wish to give notice to the Noble Lord, the Chancellor for the Duchy of Lancaster, that in one of the clauses he should wish to have an alteration made, as re spected public footpaths. As the law at present stood, rail ways might intersect footpaths which had been enjoyed from time immemorial—which led to church or to village, or to market—and they would not even be required to lay so much as a plank across, the only thing Incumbent on them being a necessity of making some thoroughfare, however incon venient, as for instance, they might make a passage beneath the railway approached, on the one side by a descent of steps, and ascending on the other side in the same manner. He should wish the clause postponed, in order to place public footpaths on the same footing with public horseways or carriage ways. Lord G. SOMERSET said that he had no objection to introduce a clause which would effect the object desired by the Hon. Member for Cockermouth (Mr. Aglionby), if he would only point out a way in which it could be done with out interfering with the spirit of the other clauses of the Bill. He (Lord Granville Somerset) would suggest that the words " public footpaths" should be introduced in the clause which provided for the security of rights to highways after the word " highways." Mr. AGLIONBY said that he thought the Noble Lord's sugggestion would quite meet the object he had in view. The SPEAKER having left the chair, the House went Into Ct.inmittee on the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET moved that the consideration of the preamble of the Bill be postponed. The Noble Lord then said that on the night when he had given notice of his in tention to introduce the Bills which were now to be consi dered, he had stated that the object of Government in the in troduction of these Bills was, to render all private Bills which might be hereafter introduced, for the formation and regulation of railways and companies, conformable to the regulations of the Bill now before the Committee ; of course, there was no intention to prevent the discussion being taken on any private Bills which might hereafter be introduced. They might be considered in their several clauses in Com mittee, and then other clauses introduced at that time to render thew conformable with the Bills which were before the Committee. The first clause having been read, several verbal amend ments were agreed to. Mr. HAWES begged to inquire of the Noble Lord opposite whether, in the event of the introduction of a Bill into that House, for the formation of any Company whose interests were of such a character as to render the provision for them inconsistent with the provisions of the Bills before the Com mittee, how the mischief was to be obviated. There were certain things in the Bill before the House, which, when applied to many private Bills, would be inaccurate and uncalled for. Although it was of great importance to apply the provisions of the Bills before the Committee to private Bills, yet it must be remembered that these Bills were, when passed, to be public Acts, not private ones, and it was of great importance to keep them such, Sheuld a Company, introducing a Bill, find the provisions of the Bills before the Committee inconsistent with their schemes, he conceived that their objections might be stated to the House, so that such Company might be relieved from any difficulty in which the Bills would place them. Lord G. SOMERSET said the observations of the Hon. Gentlemen opposite showed that it was necessary to make it incumbent on the Committee hereafter considering any pri vate Bill to conform to the provisions of these Acts. If a Company, introducing a private Bill, found the provisions inconsistent with their scheme, they might state their objec tions, and those objections could be considered in Committee. The second and third clauses, with a few verbal amend ments, were agreed to. Mr. HENLEY wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Chan cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, whether he had any objec tion to reprint the Bill after it should have passed through the Committee? The number of alterations, verbal and other wise, likely to be introduced into these Bills rendered the re printing of them necessary. Lord G. SOMERSET said that in this matter he should be guided by the disposition of the House. His only objection to the reprinting the Bills was, that it might possibly delay the application of the provisions of the Bills to the numerous private Bills already before the House. This objection over ruled, he was quite disposed to reprint the Bills, as the Hon. Member had suggested. On the fourth clause being read, Lord G. SOMERSET said, that after the passing of this clause, it was his intention to move the introduction of an other clause, the object of which was still m ore e ff ec ti ve l y to confine the operation of the Act to other private Acts. Mr. HENLEY said, that he felt it was impossible to follow the Chairman in the rapidity with which he proceeded with the clauses. He had wished to make an observation with respect to the second clause, but he might now remark that the fourth clause was inconsistent with the second. That clause gave great jurisdiction to magistrates, and itwas therefore absolutely necessary to define to whom the jurisdiction should be confided. The Land Clauses Bill stated that this jurisdic tion should be confided to " two justices." In the Bill now before the Committee it was confided to " two or more." In another place, it was stated that the reference was to be to "any two justices." If many justices were to be occupied in consequence of the provisions of the Act, their hands might be completely filled, and the business of the Petty Sessions would stand still. The number of magistrates to whom the jurisdiction was given ought to be stated, and he wouldleave it to the Noble Lord to say which was the proper course. Lord G. SOMERSET concurred with . the Hon. Member, but if the words " two or more justices" were introduced, it would meet the difficulty. Mr. HAWES concurred with the Noble Lord. Mr. HENLEY—But the words " two or more" would scarce meet the difficulty; for supposing there were four or five justices holding a petty sessions,it was likely they should suspend the whole of the business of the sessions in order to attend to this, and the result might be a very serious incon venience to the public. Mr. DARBY—There appeared to him to be some contra dictions in the Bill on this point ; for in one part of it it said " two justices," and in another " two or more." Lord G. SOMERSET believed that by leaving out the words " two or more" altogether, the difficulty would be met. Agreed to. Upon the next clause being read, Mr. HENLEY called attention to the word " directors ;" he wished to know whether that included " promoters ;" if it did not it would be found that there would be contradictions in the Bill, for in other parts of it these two words were con sidered synonymous. Lord G. SOMERSET would rather decline answering the question, until the other Bills were before the House. Mr. HENLEY said his reason for calling attention to the word was, that in the latter part of the Bill it was enacted that no director's goods could be seized, while in the Land Clauses Consolidation Bill there was a process of distress given against the goods of promoters. Lord G. SOMERSET considered that the clause as it now stood was quite clear.—The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 4 and 5 were next agreed to. In clause 6, Lord G. SOMERSET proposed a verbal alteration, as to the mode of paying for shares, which was agreed to. Mr. HAWES wished to know if building societies would be affected by this Bill ? Lord G. SOMERSET—AII the Bills would have a pro spective effect. Clause 8 was next agreed to. An HON. MEMBER, - whose name we could not learn, sug gested that, in order the better to ascertain who the share holders were, their names should be placed in alphabetical order, as well as giving their addresses. Sir GEORGE CLERK conceived that the description con tained in the Bill was sufficient to identify the party ; how ever he had no objection to the proposed alteration. The alteration was then made, and the clause agreed to. On clause 10 being read, Mr. HATTER observed that a charge of 2s. 6d. was made for each certificate. Now, if this charge were to be made for every certificate each time that a transfer were to be made, it would form a very heavy item. He conceived that the 2s. 6d. ought to be only a charge made for making out the certificate in the first instance. He had heard of a transfer of 12,000 shares last month, and if 2s. 6d. were to be charged upon them, it would be a very heavy addition. Lord G. SOMERSET—The clause stated that the charge should not exceed 2s. 6d. Mr. GLADSTONE conceived this to be a matter entirely for arrangement between the Company and the shareholders. The clause was then agreed to, without further discussion. Clauses 12 and 13 were agreed to. Oa clause 14, which regulates the fees payable on the transfer of shares, being put, Mr. HAriER: okected to it. It would appear from the wording of the clause that the secretary of a company would be compelled to enter a transfer in the books of the company, endorse the transfer, and give a certificate of the transfer, for which he would be entitled to demand 2s. 6d. Now he (Mr. Hayter) would be glad to know if a secretary would be entitled to 2s. 6d. for only performing one of these acts, or whether he would not be entitled to this sum until he had perforated the whole of them ? Lord G. SOMERSET apprehended the 2s. 6d. would be for performing all three of the acts. Mr. FOX MAULE reminded the Committee that it would be competent for the Shareholders to regulate this matter. The clause only provided that the fee should not exceed 2s. 6d. Mr. GLADSI'ONE suggested that the words, "together with such endorsement and certificate" should be added to the clause. The clause with this amendment was agreed to. On clause 15, which requires all calls to be paid up before the transfer is made, being put, . Mr. WAWN protested that it was an exceedingly hard clause. If it passed the Committee a shareholder would be precluded from disposing of his shares until he had paid up the whole ofhis calls. /sow a call might be made for a par ticular day, and in the interim no one could transfer his stock. This was extremely hard, and unless the Government had some strong grounds to support it, he thought it ought to be either struck out or postponed. Mr. HAWES said the clause would put an end to a cer tain description of speculation, which it was desirable should be continued and encouraged. Lord G. SOMERSET said the clause had been sanctioned by the Government and the House generally, and it would be exceedingly injudicious on his part if he either consented to postpone or strike out the clause. Mr. 'LADSTONE said the objection to the clause ap peared to be this. It would prevent the solvent shareholder from disposing of his shares until all the: ca ll s were paid up, and thus the insol vent holder would have the advantage, for, of course, it did not much matt er to h im whether he N effected a transfe r or not. Ow to meet this objection he would suggest that the_foilowi ng words be inserted :—" After suc ;‘ l l t r e . a i l , hAalsAllte.eilmade and sh a ll b ecome d ue. " proposeded. that the consideration of th e clause should be delayed. Mr. lIAXTER approved of the clause. It would put an end to an extremely bad practice which existed amongst railway sharo speculators. They entered into engagements without the least probability of their ever being able to meet them, and when th e y b ecame d eeply involved for calls they GRAVESEND STAR PACKETS leave the Brunswick Pier, Blackwell, at 11, 3, and 4 on Sundays at 11 and 3.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

" Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield Journal. _ • _ . _ _ _ - Published by the Author, and sold in London by S.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—Observing in your paper a letter, in which public attenti•n has been very properly drawn by Mr. George Robins, in respect of a recent rescue from death of a drowning man at Leith, by the prompt exertions of a brave man, named James Carnie ; from this round unvarnished tale, it should seem that it is alone to the bravery and kind-hearted feeling, and at the peril of his life, that a human being has been thus saved from death ; yet this is one of the many cases that are daily occurring throughout the country. We hear of them and coldly compliment the intrepid ' man who has risked. and in very many cases lost, his own life in the humane endeavour to save that of a fellow-creature. But this in not all ; the poor man himself, or the widow and children whom his kind heart has thus reduced to poverty and mental distress not easily imagined, and certainly not to be described, are left to deplore his loss—his bravery and accompanying sacrifice is reported in the papers as an every-day occurrence, and in one single week the poor but brave fellow is altogether forgotten. Now, in a country like this, where charity holds a higher place In public feeling than any other throughout Europe—where ingenuity seems almost to have been puzzled to and out what is left undone or wanting to render still more of benefit to our distressed brethren, it is not a little singular that it has never occurred to the benevolent that there needs a stimulus to induce a man to risk his life in the hope of saving another, at the peril of losing his own. I know full well that Scripture is full of quotations, and comfort to re ward the good men who are ready to encounter such fearful risk and sacrifices, and I also know thatithere are many of the really good who will repose on this thought alone, and seek nothing beyond it. Now I am of opinion an institution is loudly called for to which all such cases should be submitted, and from whose funds every one will find a cheering, a pecuniary solace, a little more substantial than the cold reward of having done a perilous duty. If the Baron de Rothschild, or Mr. Baring, or Mr. Hannan, or a hundred others included in the term millionaire," would only propose an Institution of this kind, it would be adorned by such a list of subscribers as would amply testify there are in great abundance those who will willingly encourage the brave and kind-bearted by something snore substantial than praise. February 15. HUMANITY. The brave fellow (Carrie), whose case is above alluded to, in ad dition to his bravery, seemg actuated by no small degree of gratitude. He thus writes to Mr. G. It—:—‘4 The success of my attempt was of itself a rich reward, and the spontaneous sympathy, the kind feeling, and the knowledge that soy exertions have been so greatly and immediately responded to, will act as a powerful incentive to re newed exertion, should I be again placed in similar circumstances." COURT CIRCULAR.

GROSS SUPERSTITION. —There is a merchant in the City, in the hill possession of Ids intellect, Silo actually beileveii that the iiicopie-tsiF will laSt glib* ti e© years . lo,pter. -- --runCA: ae 'happy to learn that the accounts of pur Rigid Itey. and respected Diocesan are such as to induce hopes that his recent severe attaa way be 401:Wed.—Cam. bridge Advertiser, presumed their right to the shares by transferring them to men of straw. If they omitted the clause there would be no protection afforded to the honest and solvent speculator. The moment a call was made it became a debt, and he, for one, could see no objection why every call should not be satisfied before any transfer was allowed. At alt events, if some such provision as this were not made, it would be hard upon those who had entered into engage. meats, with every hope and intention of meeting them in due course, to allow dishonest speculators to.creep out of their liabilities in the manner he had stated. He really could not conceive, therefore, on what ground the clause was proposed to be omitted. Mr. HENLEY denied that a call became a debt payable immediately on being made. He apprehended a ,call stood upon the same principle as rent, for which no distraint could be made until the expiration of the quarter. So of a call; It could not be legally demanded until the time allowed for payment had expired. Mr. HAWES said that he agreed with the Hon. Gentle• man opposite that there did appear some reason for altering the clause. But he would not take upon himself, at present, the responsibility of introducing the amendment suggested by the lion. Gentleman opposite into every railway Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET was disposed to think that the clause might be improved, and at a future time he would be ready to consider the amendment proposed. But as the clause was introduced after much consideration and discussion, and as it had been introduced into every railway Bill fur the last thirteen or fourteen years, he could not take upon himself the responsibility ofaltering it at present, or without muels consideration. The clause was then agreed to, as were also clauses le a 17, and 18. On the reading of clause 19, which determines the permit tt whom dividends are to be paid, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET proposed the insertion of the words—" or to any of those whose names appear in tlin register." Mr. HAYTER did not see the reason why in these case, there should be any difference between the mode of paying dividends and that adopted at the Bank, and in all the other public companies. Lord G. SOMERSET said the object of the clause was N prevent frauo.___ Mr. HAYTER did not see how fraud could be more readily. committed in respect to these than in respect to those or other companies. The clause, with the words proposed inserted, .was then agreed to. On the reading of clause 20, respecting the payment of subscriptions when called for (that is by instalments), Colonel SIBTHORP objected to allow these companies to pay up their capital by instalments, or by " calls." He would have the whole subscription paid at once.—(Great laughter.) This system of calls enabled railway schemes to be taken up, as was truly said by an Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Hayter), by " men of straw." Th e y go t up t h ose schemes without a shilling in the world, and then they went over the country under the pretence of making surveys. He himself could not endure to have his property entered upon and his trees cut down by these marauders.—(Great laughter.) Ho would say that at least two-thirds of the capital ought to be subscribed at first.—(A laugh.) lie knew how the schemes were got up. People who knew nothing about these things were humbugged—(A laugh) —yes, humbugged —that was the word—(A laugh)—by engineers and attorneys. Now he did not want to make a sweeping charge against all en gineers and attorneys ; for he knew that many of them were very respectable men in their way. If the public saw a sum of money, such as 20,0001., paid down at once in a new company they would, have some confidence.— (A laugh.) No one could be more inclined than himself to forward any project that would be useful to the country, but he never would encourage or have anything to do with these schemes, which he believed to be delusive land dangerous -- The clause was then agreed to. The other clauses up to 35 were then agreed to. On clause 35, relating to the liability of directors, being proposed, Mr. HENLEY wished to know whether this clause did not clash with clause 99, so as to involve a contradiction. Lord G. SOMERSET said his impression was that direc tors would not escape from their general liability as share holders. Mr. HAWES said they certainly ought not to be more re sponsible than shareholders. Mr. lIENLEY had great dottbts whether, under this clause a director would be exempted from that liability with respect to his own property from which shareholders were exempted. After some further conversation, the clause was ag,eed to- Clauses from 46 to 98 inclusive were then agreed to without discussion. Clauses 99 to 110 were then agreed to. On clause 111, empowering the company to imprison their servants for detaining their documents, being read, Mr. HAWES made some objections to the clause, on ac count of the nature of the remedy provided by it. Mr. GLADSTONE said the clause was the usual one, and the best defence of it was, that no complai n t s h a d ever arisen from its operation. The case of a company requiring its servants to deliver up books, papers, vouchers, and so on, which were its own property, was not at all analogous to the ordinary case of a dispute between two parties in a court of justice, where the presumption was equally in favour of both antecedently to the investigation. He could conceive of no justification for detaining the property of the company. Mr. SPOONER said, as the party was to be imprisoned, in the absence of bail, until he had made up his accounts, facilities ought to be afforded to him for that purpose. Mr. HENLEY could not see why these new compa nies should have any powers, as regarded their servants, which the old companies did not possess, The Right Hon. Gentleman said there could be no possible justification for de taining books and papers. Why it might be that that was the only way in which a clerk could prove that the Company were indebted to him. The observation of the Hon. Member for Birmingham was a very striking one. By this law they imprisoned a man because he did not give up books, and then they kept him in prison because he did not make up his accounts, although no facilities were provided for such a purpose. Mr. FOX MAULS did think that the clause should bo mo dified, and that a power should be given to ascertain whether the offence was one for which they might take bail, as in ordinary cases. Lord G. SOMERSET quite concurred with the Hon. Member, that the clause admitted of modification. But with regard to the observations of the Hon. Member for Bir mingham, upon another part of it, it did appear to him (Lord G. Somerset) that a public audit of the accounts would not be necessary. However, he would suggest that the clause should?be passed now, and when the Bill was brought up he would have a modified clause prepared ; but if he attempted to do so now he might do too much or too little.—(Hear.) Mr. H. DRUMMOND—The clause in question was the same as that which he was aware existed for the last twenty years on fifty different private Bills. Mr. HAWES concutTed in the course suggested by the Noble Lord ; but lie should object to local Bills of termer times being taken as precedents. The clause was then agreed to. Upon clause 112 being read, Mr. HENLEY said he thought it would require some alteration. It was quite right that the Company should lay hold of any man in their employment whom they had reason to believe was about to abscond; but provision should be made for bringing him at once before a magistrate; fqr if he were to wait for the petty sessions he should be held over for a fortnight, or let go. Lord G. SOMERSET concurred in the Hon. Member's observations, and would have the clause modified. Clauses 113 to 122 were next read, and agreed to without observation. Upon clause 123 being read, Mr. HENLEY begged to call attention to its formation, and compare it wit h clause 144. Each gave a power to make bye-laws, but care should be taken that those laws did not extend indiscriminately to all her Majesty's subjects; if so, a person charged with an offence under the bye-laws, if that were not an offence connected in some way with the Com pany, the magistrate inflicting a penalty for it might be liable to an action. There was great vagueness in the wording of the clause. Lord G. SOMERSET believed there could be no doubt that the clause applied only to the Company, and did not in • any way interfere with the laws of the land. The object was to prevent smoking in the carriages, or the commission of any other nuisance or offence. Mr. HENLEY—His only object in calling attention to it was, that it should be m a d e c l ear and plain. Lord G. SOMERSET—Of course, care would be taker that the clause would not admit of any doubt. Clause 123 was agreed to. On clause 124, which provides that no Company shall re duce the capital stock, being put, Mr. HAWES wished to be informed how they were to determine what was or was not capital stock. What might have been the capital stock of a Company in 1835 might be very different to the capital stock of 1845. The capital stock of a Company was constantly varying. It might be reduced at one time, and added to at another, and he was inclined to think it was important that they should not in terfere with it. (LEFT SITTING.)
