COPY OF TREASUiIY ituNcTE. DATED DEC. 27, 1844. Sr llon,•rt Peel states to the Bard that various re presetA,tions Imve been addres•ied to him as to the im poriatico 01 effeAually prosecuting and completing gaols stir%eyoi Grant Brit ain and Ireland, for which sums hav, bt,en fforn time to , iine voted in the Ordnance es, - imates, in cor:n• xion with the trigonometrical survey in progress umler that department. That upon e )mminiication with persons the most dis ci !T,,tiished for their geological knowledge on the one hand, and with the Master-General of the Ordnance on the other, he is confirmed in the opinion that a geolo gic,,l survey has no direct connexion with the survey conducted by that board ; and that although among the en ~ , inver officers employed upon the latter many may be found who, from having given attention to geological subjects, may be qualified for its execution, yet that upon the e.-hole, considering the inc:mvenience to which the union of the two surveys has in some instances given rise, it appears more advisable that the conduct of it •-houbi Ip• withdrawn from the military department, it'll that it should be separately conducted under the direction of persons who have made this branch of science more particularly their study ; and Sir Robert Peel further deems it advantageous that it should be brought into direct connexion with the Museum of Economic Geology, for which sums have been latterly voted by Parliament, and the extension of which is an object of general interest and importance. My Lords agree in the view which Sir Robert Peel has taken of this subject; and think it expedient that a separate estimate should be prepared and submitted to Pariiament, of the total sum required for the geological survey of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the sum which it may be annually advisable to allot to this object. As my Lords deem it advisable to connect this survey with the museum of economic geology, it will be neces sary to add to the estimate such sum as may be neces sary to provide an adequate building in London and in Dublin respectively, calculated at once to afford facility for inspection by the public, which the present building does not offer, and ready means of information to those engaged in scientific pursuits. Censidering that the Museum in London has been from its foundation under the direction of the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests, my Lords deem it ad visable that all matters relating to the geological survey should in future be committed to the superintendence of the First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, under the c , introl of this Board. Write, therefore, to the First Commissioner of Woods stud Forests, acquainting him with his views of my Lords; and request that, if his Lordship has no objec tion to undertake these duties, he would submit to my Lords his opinion as to the persons by whom it would be advisable that the survey should be conducted : as to the expense that it may be necessary annually to incur in the prosecution of it ; and as to the sum required for the est iblishment at,d maintenance of the museum in London and in Dublin, to which my Lords have already adverted.

E. TREVELYAN. LEVIER FROM THE EARL OF LINCOLN TO THE LORDS COMMISsIONERS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY. Office ot . 8c,%, January 13, 1845. t.0,14 : -1 have had the honour of receiving, by a itom Mr. Trr , velyan, bearing date the you: - minote . of the 27th ult., con ,,;)oaL ort,oa,tion your Lordships' views in ;- o r,ea to die future proseentian of the geological sur voy .4 Great Britain and Ireland, in connexion with the te,ns`', , r of certain duties of dir-etion and control which your L0r1,1,4,s are of °pinny , should in future be com mittal to the chief Cininissioner of this Board, and tell h: apl.:l;,..tion and exteosion of the results of hat urvty to porposes for which, in London, under oar Lordships,' sanction, an institution is already stabli , hed and put in charge with this department. I bog Lave to assure your Loidships in reply, not of my willit•gness, but of my earnest desire to arty our Cie intentions of her Mijesty's Government in this matter, to the beat of my ability; and having d this, I will proceod at once, in obedience to your and aq far as my necessarily limited know] dge i , f d , lails will permit, to point out the mode ->y which I thifd: those intentions may be best effected. The gt , o!ogical survey of Great Britain, as your Lordships are aware, originated in the 'ear 1832, in an offer of Sir IL De la Beebe to supply the data for vologically certain sheets o! - the ordnance map of Engand, compiling p iris of Cornwall, Somer se-, coal Dors, t. and the whole of the county of Devon. A sum of 310/. iu aid of this service (Sir H. De la Beche conttitiroing the remaining awl thi, greater pot-- Cori of the exp-nse) was charged against the survey of Great B•it,in in that year; and subsequently, the Kw , vey has been extended, under his direction, over other portions of ti - ,e country. The geological survey of the counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somer: et, Gloucester, Monmouth, Glamorgan, Cann irthen, Pembroke, with portions of Wilts, Dorset, Worcesttr, Brecon, and Cardig.lll, are finished, and are either finished or are ready for publication. The re mailaler of South Waha, with the northern portion of the pi-ineipality, and some of the adjoining English counties, nay be stated as at pr.:-seot under examination, p a rt s of thee only being completed. From a return with which I have been favoured by the Master General and Board of Ordnance, it appears that six persons, civilians, are employed under Sir H. De la Beetle, as his iissistants upon the survey; that up to the 31st of March, 1844 (including, from 1835 t , 1839, the service of an Ordnance surveyor, chiefly directed to the correction of the preexisting maps for purposes), the cost hag,. in the who'e, amounted to rather more than 11,0001. ; and ant the sum set apart for it in the Ordnance estimates for the current Parliamentary year is 1,9501., wh ch is appro priated a- follows, viz.:— To the Director £soo ii neu of travelliog expenses £6OO To assist snt geologists :- 1)..e. at 3001 300 0, at 2001. Thre. , , at 1501. • 450 - 1,150 To contingencies 2OO £1,950 For the application of these monies, however, there appears to have been no specific parliamentary authority; nor, except in casual statements and discussions upon the esti nates of which they form a portion, do I find any no: ice 4.f this - service in 'Parliament, and certainly none at all commensurate with its claims upon the public attentii n. The time, however, it appears to me, is now arrived at which the geol,gical survey should take its proper posi tion in the estimati s annually submitted to Parliament by your Lordships' board, accompanied by a report of its progress within the previous year. and or the portion re maining to be accomplished. Your Lordships will, I feel assured, concur with me in opinion, that indepen dently of the expediency of such a practice on Parliamen tary gn,unds, publicity supplies an encouragement to zeal where zeal exists, and a stimulus where it is wanting ; and that the practical importance of the principle is — in no instance more manifest than where, in connexion with the acceptance of great individual responsibilities, the qu.s'iun is one of giving or withholding public money. I feel the less hesitation in submitting these observa tions to your Lordships on the present occasion, inas much as, with the facilities afforded by my position for becoming informed of the real progress of the geological survey, I can testify that no want of either zeal or dili gence can be imputed to the parties concerned in its pro secution. Its advances, however, from the inadequacy of its re sources, have hitherto been slow and unsatisfactory : and I should recommend that a vote of at least 4,000/. should he taken in the ensuing and in every future year until the undertaking is completed. Having consulted Sir H. De la Beche as to the period within which the survey of great Britain could be brought to a close, with the additional assistance I have sugges ted, he assures me that with an annual vote of 4,000/. its present rate of progress would be considerably more than doubled ; and that the whole would be brought to a conclusion within 12, or at the furthest 14 years from the present time. It appears to me highly desirable that the entire sur vey should, if possible, be the work of one and the same supervision ; but with the sum hitherto set apart fer its prosecution it is inconsistent witii the ordinary proba bilities of human lire that Sir IL De la Beche, or in deed any geotogist of equal maturity and experience ~Ith himself in the higher requisites for such a service, should live to witness the termination of his labours. The amount, therefore. which I have recommended is as small ::s 1 think ci.nsistent with the completion of the surv e y con . i•lntiv with the attainmtnt of an object to I cannot hop attaching ve y great importance ; Out if your Lord,hips' views should differ from my own on this point, I would then only urge that the sum to be now submitted to Parliament should in future sessions be a:iher , d to, inasmuch as any ditninution would neces sitJte the dis m i ssa l o f men w h o h a d b een tra i ne d t o the service, and whose plat, r, it would involve a loss both of mowy and time to supply. It afforos tne great pleasure to find that! your Lord shit, ,re disposed to give increased elli , iencY to the ii t utu of Ecou mute U.-olotry in 14ondon—an urn to the condition of whien, but fit difficulties which I tr , ,s. are now removed, I should Itive long since fel tit v duty to dra, your LordshipNs attention. mus, , ipii itt Cra'g's court was founded in the yeex 1835, lu connexion with the geological survey of Grei-A Y..ur L .I. , lships will lid a statement of the earli , circumstances of its progress, is a letter addressed to te1,40 SuN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1845 Chancellor of the Exchequer by my reelecessor at this • Board ; under date 26th of February, 1839. From the rapid extension of its collections, partly from the geological survey, partly from foreign sources, and very considerably, I may add, from individual con tributions, the present building has, for some time past, become unsuited to the exigencies of the institution; and a larger building, and another site, have at length be come itide , p• usable. To meet these exigencies, propositions of various kinds, and applying to various localities, have within the last. two yea's been brotight under my consideration, but until now none have been suggented which would, at any reasonable cost to the public, have provided the ac commodation required. A property, however, belong ing to her Majesty, lying between Piccadilly and Jermyn-street, will be out of the lease on the sth April next ; and some of the shops and houses of which it consists being in a very dilapidated condition, it has been recommended to pull them down and to occupy the ground with new buildings. The site has a frontage of about 70 feet to each street, with a depth between the two of about 150 feet. It would afford ample accommo dation for houses and shops in both frontages, and for a museum in the centre, arranged in the manner shown in the accompanying plans. By these, as your Lord ships will perceive, the museum would consist of nine large galleries, with the requisite supply cif rooms for offices, a laboratory, and a workshop for the cirmstrue tion of mining and other needful models. According fd estimates which have been prepared, and very care fully considered by the professional officer of this de partment, the cost of erecting the six houses and shops shown on the plan would be about 9,0001. ; that of the museum, 20,0001. I state these details thus generally in the first in stance, as in the event of your Lordships approving in principle of my suggestions, the whole subject of these buildings, in connexion with the estimates and the pur poses to which every portion would be applied, will, of ccurse, be brought again under your Lordships' notice. The whole of these buildings, I would submit to your Lordships, should be erected at one and the same time, under the superintendence of this Department ; and, as the site is part of the hereditary property of the Crown, at the charge of its accruing land re venues. According to the estimates at present before me, the letting to private tenants should contribute to the Exchequer rents amounting altogether to 740/. a year ; the museum not less than 8001. For this second sum it would be necessary to make provision, in the esti mates annually submitted to Parliament by your Lord ships' Board, for rents of offices and public buildings. Looking to the peculiar character of the larger portion of this return—viz., that it should be exempt from the liabilities to which property in the hands of a private tenant is ordinarily subject, and looking also to the in creased value which such institution may reasonably be expected to confer on other and extensive property be longing to the Crown in the same vicinity, your Lord ships will, I think, concur with me in opinion, that the arrangement proposed is as consistent with a due ad ministration of the lend revenues of the Crown as any other that could be adopted. In order, however, to render the museum efficient in its twofold object of aiding and receiving aid from the geological survey of Great Britain, it will be neces sary that the department upon which the illustra tion and practical application of its resources are so much dependent, should be strengthened by the services of a sound chemist. The duties of chemist and curator are at present united in the per son of Mr. Richard Phillips, whose skill in the depart ment of mineral analysis is held in high and deserved estimation, but whose time, it may be sufficient to ob serve, is already engrossed, either with his engagements at the museum, or in making analysis for the excise and other public departments. The branch which I should assign to this new officer of the institution would be that of chemistry in its application to agriculture, to manu factures, and to certain important branches of geological inquiry connected with the prosecution of the survey, for which no adequate provision is to be found in the existing arrangements of the museum. The gentleman whose services I think it most desirable to secure for this appointment is Dr. Lyon Playfair, the pupil of Pro. fessor Liebig, and the representative of his opinions in this country in the department of agricultural chemistry. The entire range and character of Dr. Playfair's in vestigations are in accordance with the objects and interests of the museum ; and his appointment, I feel assured, would be regarded with great satisfaction by agriculturists, by manufacturers, and indeed by all classes who attach importance to its proceedings. From communications which I have had with Dr. Playfair on this subject, I have ascertained that, although at the present moment having reference to other engage ments which he must abandon, the acceptance of this appointment would subject him to some pecuniary loss, ho would be prepared to transfer his services to the museum for the sum of 2501. per annum ; upon the under standing, however, that if, upon the death or resignation of Mr. Phillips, he shall have succeeded in organising a body of competent pupil assistants at the museum, he shall undertake the department allotted to Mr. Phillips, in addition to that which would now devolve upon him, at a salary of 400/. per annum. I feel assured that it will be sufficient - for me to state them, to ensure your Lordships' e acquiescence in these very reasonable pro posals. Of the commencement, the progress, and the ultimate suspension of the geological survey of Ireland the parti culars are already before your Lordships, in a report addressed to Sir Robert Peel, in 1843, by Mr. Young, Capt. Boldero, and Lord Adare, subsequently printed and laid before both Houses of Parliament. In conformity with the views that suggested its sus pension, Captain James of the Royal Engineers, an officer attached to the Irish trigonometrical survey, was directed, in 1840, to place himself under and take part in the ope rations of Sir H. De la Beche, with the view to the establishment of a system of practical uniformity between the surveys of Great Britain and Ireland. From inquiries I have instituted, it appears that the first object of Captain James's mission has been accomplished; but that the geological survey of Ireland, with its several kindred branches of inquiry, is substantially, at this moment, in the condition in which I find it repre sented to be in the report of 1843. If I am right in this assumption, and it be your Lord ships' desire that the survey should be now proceeded with upon the basis of and simultaneously with that of Great Britain, I can then have no hesitation in recom mending to your Lordships that the direction of both surveys should be committed in the first instance to one and the same person; that person being, of course, the director of the British survey, Sir H. De la Beche. At taching the highest value to his qualifications for the dutie, which such an office necessarily imposes (of which duties not the least in importance is that of educating and bringing forward a body of zealous and highly quilified assistants on the survey), I attach still grsater importance to the principle of establishing that unity of action, of eliciting that uniformity of results, and of insuring that reciprocity of benefits between the surreys of the two countries which can only be effected by pacing the executive in both cases under the direc tion of one authority ; and it is upon a concurrence, I presume, in the same views, that, after hearing evidence from parties of various opinions and of high authority on all branches of this inquiry, the Commissioners of 1843 recommended that " the topographical g-ology of Ireland should be committed to SirlL,nry De la Beche, as general director of the geological department of the whole empire." If your Lordships should concur in this opinion, and Sir H. De la Beche should be appointed, it will follow that his time and attention must be divided between the two countries, and that there must be in each a local head, to take the lead under his direction. From the testimony of several parties with whom I have commu nicated (and I may especially state Sir IL De la Beche himself), I fully concur with the commission, that "Captain James, of the Royal Engineers, should be em ployed as chief in Ireland." This appointment, it is true, would be at variance with the principle whichl understand to have been so forcibly urged by the Master-General of the Ordnance, and fully assented to by your Lordships' Board, in regard to the detachment of military men from the proper duties of their station to others of a purely scientific character. In the present instance, however, seeing that Captain James has already qualified himself for the survey in direct communication with Sir 11. De la Beche, and the services proceeding under his direction, I think that the exception to the rule would be less injurious to the public service than its observance ; and your Lordships, there fore, will prevail, I trust, upon the Master-General, under the circumstances, to permit Captain James to be seconded, and his services upon the survey to be made available. For the immediate assistant to, and occasional substitute for Sir H. lie la Beche on the English survey, I propose that your Lordships should authorise me to appoint Mr. Andrew C. Ramsay, at present one of the assistant geo logists on the survey of Great Britain, upon a salary of 2001. a year. Mr. Ramsay, lam informed, joined the survey in April, 1841, and has distinguished himself by the extent of his information and the accuracy of his views ; he is a fellow of the Geological Society of Lon don, and is engaged, in connexion with Professor Forbes, upon a new edition of the Rev. Mr. Conybeare's " Geology of England and Wales ;" a work esteemed of the highest authority in its day, and the revision of which has been especially committed to him by its author. The improvement in his position would call for no increase in the amount already suggested to your Lordships for the general purposes of the survey, and in itself would involve an addition to his present salary not exceeding 100/. per annum. With Mr. Ramsay as his assistant in Great Britain, I have no doubt whatever that Sir 11. De la Beche would be enabled to devote an appropriate share of his time and attention to the Irish survey ; and, as far as may be dependent upon his exertions, that both services will proceed with corresponding regularity and dispatch. In order, however, as regards the Irish survey, that these exertions may be duly supported, I should recom mend that a vote of not less than 1,5001. should be taken in the estimates of the following and every future year, until the survey of Ireland shall be completed. OR re ference to the appendix of the Report of 1843, I find a letter from Sir H. De la Beebe, in which the sum of 1,500/. is stated to be sufficient for this service, assuming the survey to he extended over a period of ten years from the date of its resumption. I enter entirely into the views which have suggested yon. Lordships' minute of the 27th ultimo, as to the es tablishment of a museum of economic geology in Dublin. I feel assured not only that the existence of separate in stitutions in London and in Dublin will be a source of ma ny positive advantages to both, but that the utility of such institutions is very mainly dependent upon their extension into different localities, the expansion of their stores from local sources, the discovery of new agencies, and the interchange of views and opinions, whether of local origin or otherwise ; the existence of which cannot fail to elicit general results, and to promote the cause of general science. It is upon these grounds that, looking to the institu tion already established in London a,s the model of that proposed to be founded in Dublin, Ural& nevertheless, n men tol te d desire to see it placed under a superintendence in a great measure separate and di s ti nc t. were opAinimoonnsgst theco of by t h s c e i e c n o c e m m i s s Ireland o f w l h B o 4 s 3 e , the subject of geology, in its application to the de velopment of mineral wealth, to agriculture, to the arts and manufactures, and in short to the general purposes of life, appears to have chiefly engaged the at tention of Dr. Kane, a member of the Royal Irish Academy, and a chemist, as lam informed, of high and admitted authority in his profession. He attaches " the highest importance to the establishment in Dublin of a Central Museum of Economic Geology, like that in London ;" and his views, as detailed in paper 8, appen dix 4, of the report above referred to, point him out as the person apparently best fitted to take charge of such a collection. I would suggest, therefore, that Dr. Kane should be consulted as to his willingness to take upon himself the chemical section cf the geological survey, under the direction of Sir H. De la Beche ; that he should perform the same duties in Ireland as I propose that your Lordships should devolve conjointly upon Dr. Playfair and Mr. Phillips in this country ; and that for his services he should be paid a salary not exceeding 300/. per annum. In order to obviate, however, the possibility of any misunderstanding hereafter upon points which may affect not only the personal interests of Dr. Katie, but those higher interests which, in the event of his ap ttointment, would be committed in great measure to his iteep:Pg, I would suggest that your Lordships should authorise Zse to communicate with him, forthwith, as to his position, his duties, and his emoluments under their proposed arrangement. It is indispensable, in fact, that I should be afforded the advantage of communicating with some person of scientific authority in Dublin (and with none, of course, could I so properly confer in the first instance as this gentleman,) before I can in any way advise your Lordships as to the probable expense of maintaining an institution in that city ; which, though founded upon the basis of the museum in Craig's-court, may, from local causes only, require a somewhat different treatment. It would afford me sincere pleasure,' need scarcely say, to be enabled, in these communications, to lay the basis of an arrangement for the working of the respective in stitutions in London and in Dublin, in accordance with each other and with the great public objects which have suggested their establishment; and I trust that I shall be enabled to signify to your Lordships Dr. Kane's ac ceptance of the appointment of chemist and curator upon that basis : subject, of course, to the approval of your Lordships' board. It would then become expedient to make provision for the specimens already collected on the Irish geological survey, which are at present deposited in Dublin, in charge of the !Vaster-General and Board of Ordnance ; and which, of course, should be transferred to the cus tody of this departruent,as soon as a proper building can be provided for their reception. Al: hough your Lordships inform me that you are pre pared to defray the expense of providing a building for this purpose in Dublin, I would suggest that, among the public buildings in that city, there might be found accommodation that would suffice, for at least some period to come, for the collections already in store, and for any contributions that might accrue, either from the survey, from the Museum in London, or from private sources. Your Lordships will probably see the expediency of instituting such inquiriesin Dublin as may elicit full and specific information on the point to which I have adverted- I feel, indeed, that until this information shall have been acquired, and I shall have had an opportunity of communicating with Dr. Kane, with respect to the Museum and its appointments, it would be of little avail for me to occupy your Lordships' attention with suggestions as to this portion of the larger subject referred to me by your Lordship's mi nute of the 27th ultimo. In finally adverting, however, to that minute, and to the confidence which your Lord ships have been pleased to repose in myself and the future Chief Commissioners of this Board, in reference to the direction and control of the services which form the subject of this letter, I may be permitted, perhaps, to suggest to your Lordships that our duties should be restricted within their limits ; and that the receipt and issue of monies, the examination and payment of all de mands, and the preparation of such general account at the end of the year as may be required by the Commis sioners of Audit, should devolve, in the usual course, upon the Board. I have, &c., (Signed) LINCOLN. LETTER FROM C. E. TREVELYAN, ESQ., TO THE COM MISSIONERS OF WOODS, &C. Treasury Chambers, Jan. 31, 1845. My Lord and Gentlemen The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, having had under considera tion a letter from the Earl of Lincoln, dated the 13th instant, suggesting measures for the prosecution of the geological surveys of Great Britain and Ireland, and for making the collections resulting from those surveys more generally and extensively available for the public benefit, I am directed to inform you that my Lords have com municated to the Earl of Lincoln their approval of his Lordship's s u g gestions, and have been pleased to give authority fur carrying them into effect. lam desired at the same time to state, that their Lordships have caused copies of their minute, dated the 27th of December last, and of Lord Lincoln's reply, to be communicated to the Master-General and Board of Ordnance, with the ree quest that they will co-operate with his Lordship in carrying this important object into effect ; and I am at the same time to intimate that in the execution of official details, as regards especially the receipt and issue of monies, and the examination and payment of accounts, it is their Lordships' wish that the board's assistance should be afforded in conformity with the usual course of the business of your department. I have, &c., (Signed) C. E. TREVELYAN. P.S.—A copy of the Earl of Lincoln's report of the 13th inst., together with a copy of their Lordships' minute of the 27th ult. on this subject, are herewith transmitted for your information and guidance. AGAZINEs_coN TINUED. THE UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE AND NAVAL AND MILITARY JOURNAL. Man is confessedly a most belligerent animal, and as long as he remains so works of the nature of the one before us—treating of military matters, and re cording the achievements of the great ones of the earth—must possess considerable interest to a large circle of readers. Nor would we wish it otherwise; for although we regard war as at best but a necessary evil, still, until society is sufficiently advanced to abstain from settling questions of national dispute by a resort to brute force, we would by no means seek to repress the manly and martial spirit such works tend to foster, and which indeed, animating men to deeds of self-devotion and heroism, invest the doings of war from time to time with a sublimity which partially redeems their h orror . Much, therefor e, as we may love peace, and approve of Peace S ocieties in the abstract, we cannot sa y that we fee l at all desirous to see our count r y lay aside " the pride , pomp, and circumstance of glorious war, or cast away her sword at their bidding, especially while all our neighbours keep their's, ready sharpened, in their hands, and our brother Jonathan and Cousin France in particular, flourish their weapons every now and then in our fac e s, threatening to take ad vantage of any momentary weakness we ma y ex hibit. But the United Service Magazin e does not treat exclusively of professional m atters, either military or naval ; and of the numerous publications of the day, which address themselves to he sympa thies and advocate the interests of a partitcular class, we know of none more entitled to public approbation, or more worthy of general support, whether we regard the varied aid general interest of its contents, or the excellent manner in which the subjects treated of are handled. The reader, whose taste takes the widest range, will find in its pages varie t y enou g h to satisfy him • and the great charm o f all is, that we do not have adventures ' at second-hand; we do not have incidents served up from the prolific i m agination of a ready writer, but we have " moving accidents by flood and field," and " hair-breadth 'scapes th imminent deadly breach," told by those who have actually ex perienced them and mingled in the scenes they describe, and told, too, in such a manner as t o make it clear that the gallant actors in them can wield the pen at least as well as they can wield the sword. The volume now under our consideration, which is Part I. for the presen t y ear, o p ens with an article upon " The Social Wrongs of the Soldier ;" and, although, as might be expect d, in one or two places of which the writ e r it manifests, perhaps , a little too much es p rit du cor p s, it sets forth, tempe ratel y , and with much j ustice, the prejudices the so ldier has to encounter. Some o e f orn th p e lain p s r , ej a u r d i i s c e esi however, rona a knowledge n edge of the so ur ces from which the arm y is recruite d. If the personel of the army could be raised, the soldier would rise proportionably in public esteem. Com plaint is justly ma d e against the aristocratic nature of the army as an institution, and that Government evidently desires to make it so, instead of a popular institution. In this complaint we entirely agree with the writer. It is, a fter all, the " cold shade of aris tocracy," as General Napier well phrases it, that presses most heavily upon the soldier and his prospects. We then have a concise and interesting account of " The Theatre of War in the Caucasus," in which the writer takes a rapid survey of the operations of the Russians in that region, and leaves it no longer matter of surprise that the heroic mountaineers shoull have maintained so long and successful a struggle with their gigantic, enemy. But it is impossible within our brief limits to enumerate even a tithe of the contents of the volume before us, although we cannot refrain from referring, en passant, in terms of praise to the continuation of our friend Flexible Grummet's interesting " Reminiscences of a French Prison," and to a most graphic and spirited " Record of Indian Warfare,' by Mr. Percy B. St. John. Perhaps the most interesting papers in the Magazine, however, at least in a professional point of view, are those upon "The Spirit of Military Institutions," by Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa. A work upon the art of war, by one of that brilliant group of warriors, the Marshals of the E mp i re, who, by the practical application of their principles, overran Europe with conquest, is alone sufficient to excite attention. These papers, moreover, are written in a popular and singularly clear and intelligible style, so much so that the most unprofessional reader may peruse them with interest, and to the military man we should say they are invaluable. In a word, this Magazine is one we can most cordially recommend, and considering its value as a book of - reference, no library—certainly no military one—can' be deemed complete Without it. THE BRITISH MAGAZINE. This magazine is chiefly devoted to serious and re ligious subjects ; in the present number, there is an interesting article on " Modern Hagiology," exposing the errors of those Commentators who' seek to im prove the Sacred Text by their ov‘n additiohs. " Correspondence" includes Jetters on "Prophecy," the " Clergy and the Middle Classes," ‘.‘ Vestiges of Creation," and various other subjects. But the mo t important topic, the topic of the day, lA of course Maynooth; the remarks on this subject are worthy of attention, characterised as they are by extreme mode ration and forbearance. As a firm supporter of the Church of England, the writer approves of the May nooth grant, on the ground that education is ever the forerunner of truth. - We recommend the following remarks to the attention of those who fear that the Established Church will suffer from the change - :-- • " We believe that this measure will serve the Church, will tend to its stability and ultimate increase, and what it may not be wrong to consider even more important than this great object, that it will tend to the promotion of truth and real religion among the Irish people in general. Give the Church in Ireland gentlemen and scholars, and men who are sincerely pious in their own reliious creed—give it such men as these for its anta gonists, and the truth will find its own way, and pre vail over every opposition. The truth fears not learn ing, nor morality, nor piety; it breathes more freely when it has such opponents to contend against; it finds itself at a disadvantage when opposition is clothed in the garb of ignorance, and vulgarity, and scurrilous ridicule, and political secularity and violence. Against Auch an tagonists it knows not how to aim its weapons; and be sides this—make' the Roman Catholic clergy scholars and theologians,and you at once force upwards the tone and standard f theological attainment in the Church; divines who appeared learned beside an almost illiterate and half-civilised priesthood, must dig deeper into the foundations of their own theology, when they are to stand side by sido with scholars and gentlemen. The more learning the Church of Rome brings against the doctrine of our Reformation, the more will it bring 'to light, and detect the shallowness of its own pretensions, and the feeble sophistry of its defences. The more learned and scholar-like its attacks on us, the more does it compel the highest class of intellects among us to de vote their minds to the confirmation and defence of truth. The whole experience of the Reformed Church of England proves this. For, in fact, what is the question between us and the Romish Church in Ireland? Is it not a question between truth and error? between the Catholic Church and a schismatical body? Perhaps neither community can reasonably object to this way of stating the case ; but, believing as we do, that we have truth and catholicity on our side, and believing that the Divine presence and power are promised to truth and catholicity to the end of the world, is it not plain that all the Church in Ireland can now desire is, that the battle between truth and error should be fairly fought?" POLY7'ECHNIC REVIETV. This work is a great acquisition to the lover of science ; it describes all the wonders of nature and art, records the discoveries of the ancients, and chro nicles the inventions of modern times; its subjects are " universal as its theme," confined to no country limited to no period; it touches on every scientific subject, from the " glass-manufacturing of ancient Egypt down to Lord Rosse's telescope." In the present number there is an interesting account of at mospheric railways, by Dr. Hewlett., in which he observes : " A diminution of expenditure is one of the most ob vious advantages of the atmospheric system. In the on. ginal outlay there is not a necessity for that extensive le velling as is now required ; engines of very great power will not be needed ; the wear and tear of materials will be diminished ; and, by consequence, the rates of charges for travelling will bd lessened, and cheap travelling will be secured with a certainty of increased safety and com fort. This advantage of safety is one of paramount im portance. The atmospheric system precludes all the terrible calamities of bursting boilers and burning trains, with which the public has become painfully familiar. Running off the line is also avoided, since, in the atmos pheric system, the impelling power is at the centre of gravity, and must, from its action, keep the train on the rails. A collision of trains, from which such disastrous results have arisen, cannot possibly take place on the at mospheric principle. Then, not to enter into any meta physical discussion of the question, how much the very consciousness of safety promotes our comfort—it may suffice to say, that the atmospheric system offers a full enjoyment of the pure atmosphere of heaven as you quietly glide on by an invisible power, and entire free dom from the clanking of cumbrous machinery, flying sparks, hot cinders, and strong sulphuretted hydrogen. Another advantage is, increased speed—the average rate of travelling by the atmospheric power being fifty miles an hour, while the highest velocity of travelling on the fastest line, by steam, is thirty miles an hour ; and, in a country where time is appreciated as property of great value, this must be considered of paramount importance did it exist alone ; but when speed can be secured at less expense, and with increased safety and comfort, no doubt can exist to which system the most decided prefer ence is to be given." In the " Game of Chess by the Electric Telegraph," there are some amusing speculations as to the singular effects that may be produced by the electric current ; for example, when her Majesty visits the House of Lords, the salutes might be repeated at every sta tion in England ; instead of blowing up a ship at the distance of six miles, by one of Captain Warner's projectiles, we should be enabled to do so at the dis tance of a thousand. Humanity should compel every butcher to kill animals by electric galvanism, which would spare them all pain and suffering. There is an explanation of the signs of the Zodiac, showing how the figures are appropriated to the seasons they repre sent ; a chapter of Agricultural Chemistry ; Anasta tie Printing, and various other subjects of interest or instruction. THE FARMERS . MAGAZINE. This magazine is full of practical information on all subjects connected with agriculture. Tee present number contains reports of the meetings of the Royal Society, the Farmer's Club, and the exhibition of im plements, the continuation of " Chemistry for Far mers," and directions for draining, manures, fatten ing stock, &c. There is an engraving of " Emma," a short-horned heifer, who gained the first prize at the York cattle-show in 1842; but the principal fea ture for this month is the portrait of Dr. Liebig, and the sketch of his life by Dr. Smith, formerly one of his pupils. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. The principal engraving for this month represents that anxious and exciting moment, the " Starting for the Derby." The impatient spectators are grouped around, while the jockeys are endeavouring to form their horses in a line—no easy task, as may be seen by the eager, restless movements of the excited ani mals. They understand, as well as their riders, the object of the race, but they cannot see the necessity of " starting fair," -and thus, like many of their betters, they retard, by their over-impatience, the moment they desire. It is a hard matter to win a race, but it is a yet harder task " To curb the fiery steed In emulation's eager speed." The literary department is, as usual, confined to sport ing pursuits. "Le Chasseur au Ceien d'Arret,' is both instructive and amusing ; it consists of some prac tical advice given to the young sportsman on the field of action, delivered in a quaint and humorous style. " One Cheer more for the Game-laws," is, of course, an attempt to excuse, or at least extenuate, the severe regulations of preserving game. There are some useful remarks " On the Effects of Weight on Horses," by Harry Hie'am ; anecdotes 'of foreign lands, and the usual routine of " Sporting Intelli gence." THE NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. The engravings for this month consist of a spirited sketch of " Salmon Fishing in the Highlands " and "Dead Beat," an illustration of one of the most un lucky accidents that can befal the hunter. The noble horse, having strained every nerve to the uttermost, lies still and lifeless on the ground, while his unfor tunate master stands helpless by his side. To judge from the expression of his face, the sufferings of his horse do not excite much sympathy ; instead of ex claiming with Fitz-James— " Niro worth the chase, wo:worth the day, That cost thy life, my gallant grey," - he seems disappointed at being left behind, and puzzled how to act. The literary department is full of variety. r.lere is an interesting account of otters and otter-hounds, some amusing anecdotes of elephant hUnts, and numerous articles on fishing, yachting, poaching—in short, on every subject likely to in terest or instruct the sportsman. AMERICAN ICE.—A novel article of import ha recently taken place in the shape of ice from America, in the neighbourhood of the Wenham Lake, &c. The article is brought in large blocks, varying from 2 cwt. to 4 cwt., and several vessels have arrived laden almost entirely with it, having several hundred tons on board. It is deposited in the ship's hold with care, and covered and surrounded with wood dust, and so arrives in a very perfect state, with very little loss in weight, particularly at this period of the year. The greater portion of that hitherto imported has been landed at the St. Katharine Docks, where a shed or warehouse has been appropriated in a cool portion of the south quay, and to which it is removed on being landed and deposited until removed to the owners' private stores. SINGULAR FACT IN NATURAL HISTORY.—If all the accidental or eccentric deviations from the laws of nature, which happen among the feathered tribes, were recorded, it would form a pleasing addition to the studies of the ornithologist. Tho following remarkable occur rence (similar to the mysterious practice of the cuckoo of Great Britain, and the cow bunting of America) was discovered lately, within eighty yards of the residence of Mr. Bruce, gamekeeper to Lord Lovat, at Beaufort Castle. A nest was found, in which there were a wood cock's and a bantam hen's eggs. The first p Asessor of the "local habitation" cannot be ascertained ; but, at tam e that events, there the woodcock sits close, and so that she remains undisturbed by visitors who are anxiouse to notice the coming out of her brood. Should all the eggs produce birds, the movements of the pullets will be watched, in order to observe whether they remain with their foster parents, or join the first party of chickens they meet witb,--Invernen Courier, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, May 6. Their Lordships assembled at the usual hour. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from Middlesex, Essex, and Surrey against the grant to May nooth ; also against the sale of intoxicating liquors upon Szmdays. The Earl of BANDON presented petitions from Ban don against the Macnooth grant, and in favour of the national system of education. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition from parochial schoolmasters in Scotland, praying fur an in crease in salary ; also petitions against the sale of in toxicating liquors on the Sabbath. The Bishop of CARLISLE presented twenty-one pe ions frOm places iu Ireland against the grant to May- On the motion of the Bishop of LONDON, the Church Building Amendment Act was coramitted. THE LAND COMMISSIONERS' (IRELAND) REPORT. .The Earl of DEVON presented petitions from Ennis and another place in Ireland, praying that a measure founded on the report of the Irish Land Com missioneri should be shortly introduced. The peti tioners referred to the suggestions of the Commissioners as to the prActices of grand juries, and particularly to the improvements effected by the tenants on the land, and they prayed that in any measure to be introduced a proper regard should be had to their interest. They all trusted that the suggestions of the Commissioners with regard to the constabulary would be acted on. Lord STANLEY said that the st bject of the Com mission embraced points of great importance, and it would not be desirable to have any hasty legislation on the subject. He begged to assure their Lordships that all the recommendations in the report would receive the most attentive consideration on the part of the Government, who had not been idle in taking up and acting upon some of them which they considered of the greatest importance. One of them, which he considered of more importance than any, was the recommendation that some compensation ought to be given to the industrious tenant for the improvement he had made. A Bill on the subject was at present in a great state of forwardness, and he thought he should be able to lay that Bill upon the table shortly after the recess. 'The Duke of GRAFTON presented 44 petitions from different parts of Suffolk, praying for the repeal of the malt tax. .• The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented petitions from St. Mary and St. John's, LimeriA, against the payment of ministers' money. The Noble Marquis also presented petitions from Manchester and Rochdale in favour of the grant to the College of Maynooth. CUSTOMS DUTY BILL. On the motion of the Earl ofDALIIOUSIE, the Cus toms Duty Bill was rear! a third time and passed. RAILWAYS. Lord BROUGHAM thought it necessary to state to the House a circumstance which had come to his knowledge, and on which it was his duty to express his great sur prise. Notwithstanding the strictness of the standing orders of the House of Commow, a Bill had last night been passed in that-Hou::e in which there were no less than 300 breaches of those standing orders. He thought it necessary to state this circumsiauee to the HoUse, becatiSe the public might be misled by the supposition, and be inJuced to throw away their money on a scheme which never could obtain the sanction of an Act of Parlia meat. Whatever might be the conduct of the House of Com mons, he should feel it his duty to move that this Bill be referred to the Standing Orders' Committee; and he gave notice that, on Thursday next (after the recess), he should make a motion to that effect. Lord CAMPBELL said, that whatever might be the proceedings of the Elcuse of Commons, their Lordships had nothing to do with them. It was sufficient that their Lordships had standing orders of their own, and his Noble and Learned Friend had only to abide by those orders to obtain his object. Lord BROUGHAM sail he never wished to interfere with the standing orders of the other House. He did not care whether they abolished them or not. Perhaps it would be as well it they did so. He felt every respect for the other House of Parliament', which could he ex pected of him. He would remind his Noble Friend that he had made no motion on this subject. Lord CAMPBELL—It must be either a notice or a motion. Lord BROUGHAM—It was neither one nor the other—it was a speech— (Laught€r)—and more regular than yours. Th - e Marquis of BREADALBANE presented nu merous petitions, principally from Wesleyan Methodists, in various parts of the United Kingdom, against the Maynooth grant. ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK. Lord BROUGHAM said that a petition had been placed in his hand which he thought it his duty to present to their Lordships. He was ignorant of the facts of the case, but he knew that the petition was signed by several respectable individuak, by the church-wardens and other parochial officers of St. Stephen's, Walbrook. He said that he felt himself bound to present the petition, though he would not trust himself to make any observations upon it, but simply read the petition for their Lordships. It set forth that the affairs of St. Stephen's and St. Benet's Sherehog, had been for many years conducted in a most unsatisfactory manner to the inhabitants of these parishes, and had consequently become a subject of dif ference between them and Mr. Michael Gibbs, the present Lord Mayor. The petitioners went on to say that those proceedings were such that no man couldsee their termi nation, and that the church of St. Stephen's was falling to ruin, and thlt such was the state of the parochial government that the state of the church in those united parishes was a scan tat to a Christian country. On those grounds they prayed for some improvement in parishes governed by select vestries.—Hear, hear.) These ap peared to him (Lord Brougham) to be very sensible and rational representations, and he would leave the further consideration of them to their Lordships. FRESH WATER FISHERS (SCOTLAND BILL). Lord ROSEBERY said he would move the third reading of the Fresh Water Fishers (Scotland Bill) on Thursday. Lord DALHOUSIE corrected a misstatement he made a short time ago, in reference to the duties on hides. The Noble Lord then moved the third reading of the Auction Duties Bill, and also the third reading of the Sugar Excise Duties Bill and the Colonial Pas sengers Bill, which were agreed to. On the motion of the Duke of BUCCLEUCII, the Privy Council Appellate Jurisdiction Amendment Bill went through Committee. The. Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti tion from the parish of Killeagh, in the county of Down, against the grant to Maynooth. V ibe Bishop of LICHFIELD presented petitions against the Maynooth grant. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 6.

' THE YORKSHIRE SOCIETY.—The 34th anniversary of this benevolent institution was celebrated on Saturday at the Lor,don Tavern, when a party of about 70 sat down to a dinner which reflected the littlest credit on the attentive proprietors of that establishment. The chair was taken by Mr. C. Wood, M.P., who was supported by Sir J. V. B. Johnstone, Bart., M.P., Mr. R. M. Manes, M P., Mr. W. B. Hughes, M.P., &c. After the usual introductory toasts, which were duly honoured, the children at present under education in the schools were introduced, and their healthy and intelligent appearance was the theme of i universal congratulation. The chairman then explained the means he had taken to test the condition of the school by strict examination, and earnestly appealed for aid in maintaining its present efficiency, and extending its benefits to additioNal num. hers. This appeal was responded to, and a sum amounting to about 300/. was collected, including donations by the Archbishop of York, 201.; the Chairman, 101. 108. ; Sir J. Hall, 5!. ss. ; the Hon. Mr. Petre, 51. 55., &c. The proceedings were enlivened by the aid of a small corps of vocalists, under the direction of Mr. Martin ; and an amusing Yorkshire ditty, written expressly for the occasion, and containing amusing allusioni to parties present, was sung with much effect by a professional gentleman, to whose musical skill the Society has boo Zotith'lndebted ever ei2ce its forritatiOL .~- . _ K ..' RAILWAY COMMIITEES (YESTERDA Y.) Group U.—Room No. 16. GREAT GRIMSBY AND SHEFFIELD, AND HULL AND G AINSBOROUGH PROJECTIONS. The Committee assembled this day, shortly after Twelve o'clock, having adjourned over from Friday last, at the request of Counsel on both sides, who, as we announced inlour first edition of that slay, stated that they made the request hi the hope that, as there was no difference between the promoters of the lines and the petitioners against them as to the principle, they would be able to make mutual arrangements as to details. Upon the Caatemax taking his seat, Mr. EVEYNCOURT said he was happy to inform the Committee that Al further opposition from the projectors of the Hull and Gains borough had been withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN wished to know if there was not some opposition by landowners? He had heard that Lord Scarborough was one of those. Mr. D'ErareotraT said he was not sure whether Lord Scarborough would appear at all. The CHAIRMAN asked if Mr. Duckle had withdrawn his oppo• sition ? Mr. Duckle's agent said he would be able to give an answer in a few minutes; an agreement had been drawn up, and it only re mained to be signed. The Clerk said the next petitioners were the proprietors of the Gainsborough bridge. The agent for the Company said he had no opposition to the preamble; he only wished to propose a clause. The CHAIRMAN wished to know if any person appeared on behalf of Lord Scarborough. The agent stated he believed that Lord Scarborough would not appear by counsel. His Lordship did not oppose the preamble. His was a claim for compensation. The Clerk said the next petitioners were the trustees of the Barton Waterside Road. Mr. HILL said he appeared merely on a clause. The Rev. Mr. Williams said he would not appear by counsel s but would leave his case in the hands of the Committee. The Clerk said the next petition was from the proprietors of the River Trent, but there had been ne appearance to it. The CHAIRMAN then asked if any person appeared for the Hull and Gainsborough Company ? Mr. WEBSTER said he did, and begged to announce that_ they would offer no further opposition. The CHAIRMAN then said the Committee were of opinion, that the preamble of the Bill had been proved. Ho then stated, that an application had been made to increase the capital from 600,0001. to 800,000/. Mr. PICKERING said they merely wished to alter that portion of the 4th clause, so as to increase the capital by 200,000/. in order to have funds at their command to make a double line of rail all through. The CHAIRMAN doubted if they had the power to make The alteration.—Some discussion having followed upon this point, it was agreed upon to frame a separaee clause to meet the difficulty and the Chairman left the room for the purpose of consulting the Speaker as to the consistency of such a course with the standing orders. He returned in about half an hour, at.d stated that having consulted the highest authority to which he could refer, the result was, that the Bill must either be proceeded with as it stood ; or if they intended to increase their stated capital, they would have to go before the Standing Orders Committee again, aid in fact go through all the steps again in reference to the estimates, &c. Mr. P CKERINU said that under these circumstances they would proceed with their Bill as it stood. The Clerk then proceeded to read the clauses. Clauses IC and 17 were postponed for the appearance of Mr. Dunkle'a agent. On clause 18 being read, Mr. HILL, on behalf of certain turnpike trusts, in opposition to the proposed crossing by the proposed line of the levels of the turnpike roads passing betwe m Hull and Lincoln through Brigg It was the main line to llrigg, a very populous town, and the cross ing, would bring the trains so near as to cause risk to the people living in that locality, 'who were constantly in the habit of walking there, and pas ing and repassing with cattle, children, &c. Mr. R. Ouston, one of the turnpike trustees, deposed - that the line proposed to be crossed was a great thoroughfare for carriers, cattle, children, &c. ; this would be the third crossing proposed to be made within a mile. There was no difficulty to making bridges at the crossings except the expense to the Company. To the CHAIRMAN—Has had no personal experience of danger attending level crossings; his alarm is from a general supposition as to inconvenience and danger. There would be four trains pass. ing each way every day, Mr. Fowler, engineer, on behalf of the promoters of the line, deposed that if the Company su ere compelled to make bridges at those crossings, the expense would amount to nearly 12,0001. To the CHAIRMAN—The precautions to be taken by the pro. meters would be sufficient to guard against danger. The Company were willing to leave the matter to the Board of Trade. The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee were of opinion that no case ,of danger had been made out ; and some of the Members had travelled in other countries where alt the crossings were crossings on a level, and no danger was apprehended. Indeed, he (the Chairman); himself knew instances where bridges had been built at crossings, and applications were made to have them taken down again... -(Laughter.) The other clauses were then proceeded with, as far as the clause requiring the Committee to fix the maximum rate of charges as tolls. 1 1 The CHAIRMAN asked the Counsel upon what principle be had fixed the rates at the amount stated in the clause? A witness was.called, who deposed that the charges were below the average, taking into account the charges made by other companies. The further consideration of the clause was then postponed in order to afford time for the correction of some inconsistencies. The manuscript clauses were then taken up, one of which was a proposition from the Duchy of Lancaster claiming compensation for certain damages which the line would do. The River Trent Navigation Company's opposition was arranged. Certain remedies in case of obstruction having been agreed to, Mr. WEBSTER proposed a clause containing certain modifica tions, by which to lessen the inconvenience that the Rev. Mr. Wilton would sustain by having an embankment formed, and the line run through the lawn in front of his school. No person appeared on behalf of the school; Mr. Willan was only master for life. Mr. PICKERING contended that Mr. Willan bad no locus standi before the Committee, he being only tenant for life. The school was called the Free Grammar School of Gainsborough ; and the clause proposed either the formation of a bridge, or that the Company should purchase the property within six months. None of the trustees of the school appeared before the Committee. Mr. PICKERING objected to the Company being compelled to purchase the property. Mr. William Bernard Hayton, one of the trustees, was then called, and deposed that the alteration would damage the pro perty. The Rev. Mr. Wilian was not appointed for life, but would not be turned out unless for misconduct; he had a fixed salary. It was finally agreed upon to insert a clause compelling the Com pany to build a wall, if requisite, and the question of da.. images to be left to a jury. Mr. Weasrsa next appeared on behalf of the Gainsborough Bridge Commissioners, who apprehended that their tolls would be injured by the proposed bridge of the Railway Company and. therefore, they demanded the insertion of a clause by which they could claim compensation upon an average of three years, in the event of the new bridge injuring the tolls by going through the protected property of the Bridge Commissioners. Mr. PICKERING said the petition was upon the line of deviation. but the Company would give up that line. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were cf opinion that they could give no compensation; but would insert a clause protecting the limits of the Commissioners, and leaving the question of amount to a jury. The Bridge Commissioners' Counsel would not agree to the pro. position, and it was postponed, and the Committee adjourned. Group 0 TRENT VALLEY. The clauses of this Bill were proceeded with at the sitting of the Committee. t en s t w to e r c e l a a t g ,, r e ee l d 6, t o w w h i i t c h b o u s t t a o t e p s po si thatt ion. C A l n au a s m es en l d t m o any shareholder holding shares to the amount of 60,000/., may be at liberty to call an extraosdinary meeting of the Company, was proposed by Mr. Forsyth, on the part of the Grand Junction, to the effect that any shareholder holding 500 shares, to the amount of 25,0001. or up. wards, might require an extraordinary meeting to be convened. Mr. TALBOT, for the Tient Valley Company, contended that the proposed qualification was not too large, and that Shareholders holding shares to a less amount than 60,0001., ought not to be at liberty to put the Company to so much inconvenience. The Committee was of opinion that the original clause should stand.—An amendment was also proposed to clause 17, respecting the number of shares necessary to give votes, which was not enter. tamed by the Committee. Clauses up to 32 (with the exception of clause 20) having been agreed to, an amendment was proposed by Mr. Coe/Levers, on the part of the Grand Junction, that the Trent Valley Company should execute the whole of the line between Stafford and Rugby accord. ing to certain agreements entered into, and to prove which Captain Huish and Mr. Swift, the solicitor to the Grand Junction Railway, were examined, and testified to certain t ra nsactions which had taken place between the Trent Valley and the Lond on and Bir. mingham Railway, which were contended to have broken good faith with the Grand Junction. After considerable discussion the clause was amended as pro. posed. Clauses 40 to 46 were postponed. On clause 47 being read, the question of leasing the line and tolls was argued at considerable length. Mr. Hawes thought it would be advisable to refer the matter to arbitration. The great question was the protection to be afforded to the public against interested parties. It was evident from what had come out that the London and Birmingham Railway was stretching its hand over a great part of the line, and it was his duty not,to act adversely to one party and to favour another. The subject was then adjourned until to-morrow. Group F. The Committee appointed to investigate the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled this morning—present Mr. Shaw, Chair. man, Mr. V. Stuart, Mr. Lockhart, Mr. Bramston, Mr. Home Drummond. LONDON, WORCESTER, AND SOUTH STAFFORD. SHIRE RAILWAY. stationpromoters o t of this line The line commenced Railway, a crossed the coun. the London and Birmingha m m on Mr. AUSTIN proceeded to open the c t ase th to Dudley. There was for r T ri the ng try to Worcester, and so an extension to m. there was a branch from Dudley to Sedgley, which was Bill nu W o l ver hampton, which was Bill number two, and ber three. These lines would be through valley courses, w ou ld have e asy gradients, and would accommodate a most important and thickly populated district. The line for which he appeared was opposed by one proposed by the Great Western Company—the one line being on the broad guage, and the other, the London and Bir. mingham line, on the narrow guage. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to point out the local advantages of the line he advocated. He next addressed himself to the question of the guage. He read an extract from the report of the Board of Trade, showing that with respect to to the gradients and engineering peculiarities there was little to choose between the contending lines, but that the great point at issue was the broad and narrow guages. The broad guage was 7 feet between rail and rail ; whereas the narrow guest was but 4 feet Si inches. The Learned Gentleman said he would address himself to this question of guage, as it was the great matter which the Committee had to settle. lie would engage to show beyond all :1C:1; that the narrow guage was, on the whole, far better for all general purposes, re, l uiring less extensive cuttings, less expense in the management of lines, and as being much more economical in the construction of carriages. In a few great lines the broad guage might be most advisable, but for branch lines, of which this was one, the narrow guage was decided!y to be preferred. If England were divided as it was during the Heptarehy, there would be but a seventh part of England with the broad gauge laid down on IL The boundary line of the broad gauge was from Dorchester, through Basingstoke, up to London ; from the latter down the Great Western up to Oxford, trout Oxford up to Glou cester, and from thence to the western counties. This was the commonwealth of Mr. Brunel, while all the rest of England and all Scotland had the narrow guage. The number of miles of the broad guagc laid down was 333 miles; the number of miles prop. , sed 600, making a total of 933 ; while the Dumber of miles of the narrow gunge, already formed, was 1,530 ; with 1,9.64 projected, making a total completed and pro. posed of 9.,794. The question, therefore, was, whether the broad guage should be allowed to diverge from the west into the north, into the territory of the narrow guage. He (Mr. Austin) said no ; as he was sure from the nature of the evidence Le would call he should show there were difficulties in the way broad guage that would satisfy the Committee e in s. - Si t e' ni their decision in his favour.
