Our readers will find, in another part of The Sun, a copy of the amendments proposed by the Tory Lords, to be introduced into the Irish Corporation Bill. These are for the most part as objectionable as can well be, destructive of the efficiency of the measure, and utterly at variance with its leading principles as sanctioned by the House of Commons. Whether Mi nisters will accept such a maimed and disfigured Bill remains to be seen, but judging from the manly and straight-forward course they have hitherto adopted, we should say decidedly that they will not. As brought forward by them, the Municipal measure had for ;its one leading object, the rendering of equal jus tice to all parties in Ireland ; but as amended by the Tory Peers, this fundamental principle is, if not lost sight of altogether, at any rate kept in the back ground ; for equal justice, positive injustice is sub stituted, by the modest proposal—so characteristic of a true Conservative—to confiscate the property of all the Corporations ; consequently it is impossible that a measure " so curtailed of its fair proportions" can be considered by the Irish people in any other light than as a miserable begging of the question. The original Bill went to the root of the grievance, and supplied an efficient remedy, but the amended one is destructive without being remedial—a legislative pa radox, in short, going as far beyond the mark in one instance, as it stops short of it in another—and is evi dently got up for no other purpose than to embarrass Ministers. The Times, as a matter of course, is in raptures with it. " The amendments," says our Con temporary, " which have been substituted for the original clauses of the Bill, place the whole measure on a sound and statesmanlike footing, and will, as we have long ago foretold, be received as an Act of Par liament by the Whigs, with real eagerness and affected murmurs." This is a very CoBBETT-like prediction, the absurdity of which a few days will, we doubt not, make abundantly manifest. Indeed just as absurd is it, as the notorious Tory calumny that Ministers were about to abandon the Appropriation Clause, which was persisted in by the organs of the faction, up to the very moment of Government's official announce ment to the contrary in the House of Commons. Mi nilers,dvehpitate not to declare, will, at all hazards , to'ffia4ifi. They are well aware that Ireland places implicit reliance \t Zt them, and will not belie such gene rous confidenc:-:, .__ The folIovi""*. important letter, addressed by the ,:-Gove::x nrneb t t : to- e merchants at LLOYDS', created a :;e4l.;e'nterest in the city during the whole of i f ;IA , 1 1;1. Saturday. It is still the leading topic of conversation in most of the commercial circles, and every conjecture is hazarded as to the course which Lord PA LMERSTON Will pursue to enable the merchants to adopt the Coun cils of the Crown with impunity. To make the sub ject of the letter intelligible to every person, we have only to observe, that some two or three months ago, the Russian Government, with a view to destroy the British commerce on the Danube, established quaran tine regulations to be enforced at two several stations on that river, and at the same time commanded that a toll should be exacted from all vessels navigating the waters of the Danube, to defray the cost of sua s tai blishments. .Our merchants very properly re used to submit to regulations tantamount to an annihilation of our trade in that quarter, or to pay any part of the impost thus imposed—contrary to known treaties and the law of nations. Having submitted the question to his MAJESTY'S Government, the following answer was returned, by order of the Noble Foreign Sec retary " Foreign Office, May 5. " Gentlemen,—ln acknowledging the receipt of your letter of the 27th ultimo, upon the subject of the obstructions offered by the Russian authorities to the free navigation of the Danube, I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acquaint you, that his Lordship has called upon the law adviser of the Crown for his opinion as to the regulations promulgated by the Russian Ukase of the 7th of February, 1836 : but, in the mean time, Lord Palmerston directs me to acquaint you, with respect to the latter part of your letter, that it is the opinion of his Majesty's Government that no toll is justly demanded by the Russian authorities at the mouth of the Danube, and that you have acted properly in directing your agents to refuse to pay it. " I am, Gentlemen, &c., ( Signed) " J. BACKHOUSE. " To Messrs. G. Bell and Co., Fenchurch.street." We do not agree in opinion with those who suppose that the refusal of the British merchants to submit to the regulations of Russia, with respect to the navigation of the Danube, will lead to any hos tilities between the EMPEROR and the King of GREAT BRITAIN. We presume our ambassador at St. Petersburgh will be instructed to offer a remon strance, and NESSELRODE will advise his SOVEREIGN to repeal the obnoxious ukases as far as regards Bri tish vessels. Of course our remonstrance will be ac companied by an increase of our fleet in the Black Sea. The proceedings which took place at Oxford on Thursday, are no less disgraceful to that University, than they are scandalous to the character of the Esta blished Church. They are, after all, nothing more than the natural result of an Ecclesiastical system con trived primarily, for purposes alien to religion, and in which the worldly interests of a particular order of men have always been, and always must be, the ruling principle. Did we want any confirmation of a truth generally admitted, these proceedings would tend to show that priests, whatever religion they pro fess, are the same in all places and in all ages. Their motto may differ in words, but its universal interpretation is " Great is Diana of the Ephesians." The holy convocation of Oxford in strict conformity with approved precedents, drawn from the most ancient as well as from modern times, condemned Dr. HAMP DEN, not because his opinions were likely to be pre judicial to the interests of true religion, but because they thought their own " craft was in danger." The blow was levelled ostensibly at the heretic, but it was really aimed at the Reformer of abuses. In vain will the true friend of the Church of Eng land look for any thing like candour or justice in these frantic proceedings. Even the forms necessary to give them a show of decency have been unceremoniously dispensed with. Instead of such a solemn and careful investigation of the work, said to contain doctrines so dangerous to the true faith, as might have been expected from. Men who had the interest of that faith at heart, and who were anxious that their own conduct should bear the strictest scrutiny, what do we see ? A congregation of 500 clergymen, sum moned_from all parts of England, simply to vote a sentence of condemnation against a brother clergyman., unheard ! A few isolated passages in an abstruse theo logical work, are extracted by a Committee appointed for that , purpose, who put their own construction upon them, and draw inferences which the author denies to be legitimate ; and on the Report of this Committee sentence is passed, without the least proof that any of the 500, but this Committee, had ever seen the book! We should like to see the book that could stand such a test as this. Let the Bible itself be sub jected to this treatment—let insulated texts be taken and criticised without reference to the context—and what would .be the consequence ? Who would ex claim so loudly against so unfair a practice as these very judges, who have set the example ? We trust Dr. HA: , .IPDEN will not let the matter rest where it is. • The highest legal authorities in the land give it as their opinion, that the Statute passed by the Convocation is illegal, and that Dr. HA AIPDEN has as much right to the privilege of which he has been de prived as he has to the Professorship of Divinity. Dr. HAMPDEN owcs it to his own character not to submit to the tyranny of the University, if a shade of doubt exists as to its power. We have received a copy of the New Project of Electoral Law, presented by Senor MENDIZABAL to the Chamber of Procuradores on the 25th ult. It is substantially the same as the Bill of last year, which appeared in The Sun, and which led to the dissolution of the Chambers. We shall, therefore, not publish it a second time ; though a summary of its principal pro visions may prove interesting to those who may have but an imperfect recollection of the main articles of the former Bill. The New Law proposes that persons, and not property, shall form the foundation of the Electoral right, and accordingly enacts that a De puty shall be nominated for every 50,000 souls of the entire population in all the provinces of Spain. In any province where the population exceeds 50,000 by half that number, the inhabitants are to be represented by two Deputies ; so that in such province the people will have a Representative for every 33,000 inhabitants:.; The island of Cuba is to elect eight Deputies : the island of Puerto Rio, five; and the Philippine Islands, four Deputies. For every other part of Spain the number of Deputies will be fixed by the census of the population. The right of voting at elections is very limited, being vested in 160 electors for each deputy. These electors are to be the persons paying the largest amount of taxes in the province, Spaniards by birth, the children of free parents, and of 25 years of age. The Govern ment, with a liberality worthy of Spain in her best days, has excepted persons belonging to the learned professions, who being householders and of legal age, are to enjoy the right of voting without being subs jected to the scrutiny of taxation. In this list are in cluded all advocates of two years' practice, assessors, recorders, proctors ; doctors of medicine, surgeons, apothecaries ; architects, painters, sculptors ; doctors of law and divinity, licentiates, professors of science or philosophy in any University or College ; all per sons who have taken degrees, or at any time filled a professor's chair in any recognized seat of learning ; all Government officers by Royal appointment, who enjoy a salary of 24,000 reals per annum in the ca pital, or 12,000 in the provinces ; and all officers in the army, navy, and militia, of and above the rank of captain., whether on duty or retired. The right of voting is withheld from all foreigners, although na turalized, unless married to a Spaniard ; all persons under criminal prosecution, or who have suffered an infamous corporeal punishment; all bankrupts and per- sons having their goods under sentence of confiscation ; and all persons supported by the mere bounty of the Crown. The qualifications for a deputy are sufficiently mo derate. The person so elected must be 25 years of age, a Spaniard, a householder, and either possessed of property to the amount of 6,000 reals a-year, or prove that he pays 500 reals a-year in direct taxes. Per sons in holy orders are not eligible to be elected depu ties. The only exceptions to the rule requiring a pro perty qualification, are in favour of officers, of, and above the rank of Captain in the army, navy, and mi litia, who are eligible by right of their rank, even when living on half-pay. We regret that all collegiate pro fessors, not in holy orders, were not also included. The office of deputy is declared voluntary and gratui tous, and may be renounced at any time. Peers, In tendants, Civil Governors, and Captain-Generals of Provinces, are declared ineligible to serve as deputies. All deputies receiving places or pensions under the Crown are to resign their seats, but may be again re elected ; the mode of election is by ballot ; the time for polling four clear days ; and the election itself is for three years. The above is a summary of the New Electoral Law, which will not, however, extend to the Basques before the restoration of tranquillity in those provinces. Until the rebellion is crushed in the North of Spain, the right of election is to be vested in the principal cities, to be exercised not by the most wealthy, but the most intelligent portion of the inhabitants, and more espe cially those most cognizant of abuses throughout the Vicinal districts. To this arrangement no objection whatever can be offered even by the loyal portion of the inhabitants of the Basques. We approve of the principle of this law. While it retains the most valuable portion of the English elec toral system, it makes provisions for supplying some of the most glaring defects of that system, left untouched by the Reform Bill. The first of these is the facility that is offered for defining the right of any district to an increase in the number of Representatives in Cortes ; the second consists in the honour that is conferred upon men of learning, artists, and persons engaged in the most humanizing pursuits. The objectionable part of the measure is that which narrows the consti tuency to 160 for a population of 50,000 persons. The moral condition of Spain must be indeed the most abject, if one in every fifty of the inhabitants cannot be safely trusted with the exercise of the elec toral franchise. The scheme proposed by the Presi dent of the Council would throw the elections com pletely into the hands of the Government ; as a majo rity of the electors could be secured among the mili tary and other servants of the Crown in each province. This is not the way to give liberty to a people. The Spanish nation wants an electoral law which will ena ble it to bridle the excesses of the Government ; not a mere veil to hide the abuses of the Administration from popular reprehension. Instead of 160 electors for each deputy, let MENDIZABAL substitute 1,000 . —thus giving the right of representation to the people, instead of confining it to the servants of the Crown— and we shall be fully satisfied. We have this moment (three o'clock, P.m.) re ceived a communication from Paris, announcing the capture of the Carlist fortress of Hernani on the sth instant. Four hundred British Marines co-operated with the Christinos in this brilliant affair. The number of killed and wounded on the side of the Carlists is estimated at between three and four hundred. The finances of the Portuguese Government—re duced by the quackery of M. CAMPOS to the most wretched condition—are already beginning to feel the fostering, and public-faith-inspiring influence of M. SILVA CARVALHO'S return to that department in the Lisbon Cabinet. There is no longer any want of money, because there is no longer a want of confidence in the Finance Minister. The Bank of Lisbon has thrown open its coffers, and private individuals have come in throngs to the office of the Minister, requesting him to make use of their money in any way which he may consider most conducive to the maintenance of the public service. Already he has given directions for burning 2081 contos of the public debt, besides discharging . the salaries of all public functionaries, many of whom had been without any income for upwards of a year. The prevailing opinion is, that the new Cabinet will enter into a commercial treaty with Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN on terms sufficiently advantageous to England. The QUEEN has summoned an extraordinary Ses sion of the Cortes to meet on the 29th inst. to examine the Budget, and fix the law on mortgages. The PRINCE is very popular, and both himself and the QUEEN frequently appear in public. The PRINCE will certainly be raised to the Commandership-in-chief of the army. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers o: Friday and Saturday. The following extracts in. dude all that they contain of the slightest importance : PARIS, MAY letter from Mahon of 27th April says— The eagerness of the inhabitants to emigrate to Algiers has abated of late, in consequence, it is said, of foreign influence. Jealous of the prosperity of our conquest, English agents are active in engaging persons to emigrate to the (West) Indies, paying a large bounty to each emig,tant, and what is a great temptation, they treat with whole families, and often induce them to sign markets which seem very advantageous. How ever the clergy do not like these proceedings, which reduce their tithes, and declare from their pulpit against emigration. Marshal Clausel and th Minister of War being both kept at home by .ere colds, have been unable to continue their conferences with the Committee of th 4 Budget. However as time is precious, the Committee has thought it proper to inform them that the report which they have heard read cannot be delayed, It is thought that the Minister of War will send some body to represent him in the Committee, and that he has collected all the documents relative to the facts which he desires to correct in the report of the Committee. As for Marshal Clausel, we are assured that he is preparing for the Chamber; there he will attack the system of the Committee, which, in fact, is only the abandonment of our conquest, if as we are assured, it reduces the effective force of the army to 14,000 men, distributed as follows under the protection of the forts which the Committee proposes to establish. Orsen, according to the plan of the Committee, would be the prin cipal point of occupation; with a garrison of 4,000 men, 3,000 would be shut up in Bona, and 7,000 would be for the territory of Algiers. The Marshal will not suppress any of the truth connected with the question of Algiers.— Iliessayer, May 7. FRENCH FUNDS.-Psats, MAT 6. Five per Cents., 107 f. 95c. 108 f. Four per Cents., 101 f. 40e.

A Correspondent informs us that the following verses were found stuck on the gate of one of the Colleges in Oxford, on the morning after the late Convocation had shown its truly clerical spite against Dr. Hampden :- - FROM THE GERMAN OF GOETHE. TRANSLATED BY AN OXFORD STUDENT. Quarrels have long been in vogue among sages ; Yet though in many things wrangling and rancorous, All the philosopher scribes of all ages, Join una voce in one point to anchor us. Here is the gist of their mystified pages ; Here is the wisdom we purchase with gold— Children of light, leave the world to its mulishness, Things to their natures, and fools to their foolishness— Berries were bitter in forests of old. Hoary old Merlin, that great necromancer, Gave me, a student, a similar answer, When I besought him for light and for lore— Toiler in vain I—leave the world to its mulishness, Things to their nature, and fools to their foolishness ; Granite was hard in the quarries of yore. And on the ice-crested heights of Armenia, And in the vallies of broad Abyssinia, Still spake the ()Jade just as before— Wouldst thou have peace ?—leave the world to its mulishness Things to their nature, and fools to their foolishness; Beetles were blind in the ages of yore. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of most kinds of Grain last week were small, and the Market rather tended upwards for most articles. This morn ing there has been again a short supply of most descriptions of Corn. The few samples of fine Wheat that appeared obtained 2s. per quarter more than on this day se'nnight, and other qualities did not command a free sale at Is. per quarter advance, the weather being now fine. Barley for all descriptions has exceeded the terms of last Monday by ls. per quarter. Beans are also ls. per quarter higher. Boiling Pease and Grey Pease are both scarce, and Is. per quarter dearer. The Oat trade is not lively, but such sales as have been effected realized Is. per quarter more than on this day week. The supply of Flour last week was good, and the trade re mains as last reported, with no alteration in value. ?PACES ON BC 425. ~.449. 525. ...48s. 50s. ...4"S. 455. ...48s. 503. ...s's.

The Ob server is published at five o'clock on Sunday morning. An Edition for the Country and Abroad every Monday afternoon, at four o'clock. There are at present loading in the St. Katharine's Dock no fewer than 11 emigrant vessels for Sydney, New South Wales. 'This afternoon, at three o'clock, the first stone of the new Church of Upton-cum- Chalvey, near Slough, will be laid by his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. It is expected that their Majesties and a very numerous assem blage of distinguished personages will be present at the ceremony. The Tin Trumpet is not put forward by a brazen professor of his art; for he conceals his name, although he is a practised performer. Through the medium of his humble instrument he often sounds the parley to deep thoughts, but more generally to light and ludicrous strains that must cheer the most ascetic. In sooth, he is well acquainted with men, manners, and the world, and belongs rather to the laughing sect cf philosophers than the weeping. Whoever buys his book will get more than a guinea's worth of experience. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Hilary Term, the Lord Chancellor ook appeals and motions, none of which, up to the time of our Reporter leaving, possessed any public interest. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) BLACKWOOD V. SHIPMAN.—THE " NEW DOCTOR." Mr. KNIGIIT applied ex parte on behalf of Mr. Blackwood, the proprietor of " Blackwood's Magazine," for an injunction to restrain the defendant, who is the proprietor and publisher of a work called the " New Doctor," from pirating certain parts of the work of the plaintiff. The. Learned Counsel stated that no doubt the Court was aware that in the work of the plaintiff there was a very interesting publication called the " Diary of a Physician." The defendant had lately published a work called the " New Doctor," which he had styled a " Medical, Philosophical, and Literary Magazine," in which he had pirated the works now complained of. One of the tales which had been improperly published was the " Master Physician," another the " Spectre Smith," and the " Slight Cold." These tales had been con tinued from number to number, and to restrain the further publication was the object of the present application. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, in granting the injunction, said, such things could not be permitted. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of Term, the Court took motions ; but none of any public interest were brought on before our Reporter left. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) DOBREE V. NAPIER. In this case, which we reported a short time since, judg ment was given this morning. It will be recollected that this was originally an action brought by the plaintiff against Ad miral Napier, to recover damages for losses sustained by him in the seizure of the steam-vessel called the Lord of the Isles, the said vessel having been seized and confiscated by order of Admiral Napier, for having attempted to break through the blockade established by him along the coast of Portugal whilst he held the chief command in the service of the Queen of Portugal. The question turned upon several points, such as whe ther or not the blockade was effective, or whether in that case sufficient notice of it had been given, and whether under such circumstances, the Foreign Enlistment Act not having been at that time suspended, Admiral Napier, being a subject of the King of this country, could enter the service of a foreign Prince, and make war upon his fellow-subjects, or seize and confiscate their property. The Lord Chief Justice, after referring to these and other points at some length, gave judgment generally in favour of the defendant. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) In consequence of the new rule of Court for the exam;na tion of all applying for admission as attorneys, which comes into operation on the Ist day of next term, a vast number have been admitted during the present term. On Saturday there were 85 sworn in, and to-day upwards of 50. During the whole term the number admitted in this Court much exceeds 400. The COURT were occupied the whole morning with motions of no interest. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MAY 7.—Wind N.E., strong.

Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and a Dutch mail. We have ship-letters from China and St. Domingo. The Funds have commenced to-day with a brighter appear ance than for some days past, Consols, which left off on Sa turday at 911 92 for the Account, opened at 92g; for Money, 92 ; Exchequer Bills, 17 19 ; India Bonds, 4 5 ; Bank Stock, 210 211 ; India Stock, 258 259. In the Foreign Market, in consequence of the Spanish Stock coming near one per cent. higher from Paris, Spanish Active, which closed on Saturday at 451 Y, has reached 461+ ; Passive, 14+ 1 ; Deferred, 23 + ; Portuguese, 85+ ; Three per Cents., 54 i ; Colombian 321 4 ; Mexican, 35A- 36 ; Dutch Two and a Half per Cents., 57+ ; Five per Cents., 1014 102. French Five per Cents., •108 f. 20c. ; Three per Cents., 82f. 20c. ; Spanish Active, 46if. The note sent down to Lloyd's on Saturday, late in the af ternoon, from the Foreign Office, on the obstruction offered by the Russians to the free navigation of the Danube, has not had any effect on the Funds. On the contrary, Consols have improved. The news from Paris to-day is of little importance ; with the exception of its being reported that a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Bayonne, stating that General Evans had defeated the Carlists at St. Sebastian, and established a bridge at Passages. Up to the present hour we cannot con firm or contradict this report ; but it had the effect in Paris to improve the Spanish Stock one per Cent. Owing to the bad weather, no late accounts had been received from Madrid. HALF-PAST ONE. The general topic of conversation in the City entirely re lates to a letter being received from Paris by Express, with an account of two actions having been fought between Gene ral Evans and the Carlists, and in which it is reported that 400 of our Marines took part. After a very severe and desperate conflict, General Evans succeeded in taking the heights of St. Barbara. It is also stated, that he followed the Carlists in their retreat, and took several pieces of cannon. This is stated to be the telegraph dispatch, but we cannot as yet trace this account to any authentic source. Consols are at present 92,E for the Account, Money the same ; a scarcity of Stock prevails in the market. Exchequer Bills, 17 19 ; India Bonds, 53, lower ; Bank Stock, 211 212 ; India Stock 259.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Miss Parker, niece of the Earl of Macclesfield, was united on Tuesday last to the Earl of Antrim, at St. George's, Hanover-square. The ce remony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Pechell, brother-in law to the noble bridegroom. At its conclusion the happy pair proceeded to Homewood Park, the Earl's residence in Berkshire. The bridal party, which, owing to Lord Maccles field's indisposition, was entirely composed of near relatives, retired from the church to his residence in Conduit-street, where they partook of a cold collation. The Alarquis of Lo thian, the Earl and Countess of Haddington, Lord Mark Kerr and the Ladies Kerr, the Countess de Salis and Mr. Fane de Salis, Mr. and Mrs. Fane, the Earl of Abingdon, Lady C. Bertie, and Lord Norreys were present. On Wednesday morning, Thomas de Ste. Croix, Esq., of Jersey, about 40 years of age, was found dead in his bed-room, and covered with blood, having during the night cut his throat with a razor. COUNT POZZO DI BORGO.—ST. PETERSB URGII, APRIL 23.—The Emperor has sent the insignia of the Order of St. Andrew, in diamonds, to Count Pozzo di Borgo, his Ambassador in London, accompanied by a most gracious Cabinet letter, thanking him for his long and important services.—Russian Paper. [The disgrace, courtly speaking, of this veteran Councillor of Russia, who was once a member of the National Convention in France, and therein made the most violent speech ever made in that most violent as sembly against Aristocrats and absolutists, appears to be cer tain. The revelations of the Portfolio have spread strange confusion amongst those professors of mysticism —the Diplo matists.] On ploughing last week a field at Laval, in the Marne, France, a: small vase, containing 616 silver coins, in perfect preservation, was turned up near the old Roman road from Rheims to Verdun ; 290 arc consular, belonging to at least 150 different families-4 of Pompey, 11 of Julius Caesar, 22 of Marc Anthony, on the reverse of six of which is the profile of Cleopatra, 3 of Lucius Antonius, 1 of Lepidus, 165 of Augustus, and 20 of Tiberius. EASTERN COUNTIES' RAILWAY• --- COMMITTEE ON THE BILL. Sir CHARLES BROKE WERE, in the Chair. Evidence was given that the Stand in g Orders had been duly complied with as regards posting notices on Church doors of the different parishes on the line. The Clerk read a list of the petitions presented against the Bill, only one of which (the Great N or thern Railway) was supported by Counsel. Mr. Harrison then; opened the business by stating, that there were scarcely any counties in England that furnished so much to the supply of the metropolis, as those t hrou g h which the railroad was intended to pass. Were a ra ilroad formed. cattle might be killed in the country, end sent to London, in stead of being driven up at a heavy loss of time and be be esh. So far frem horses being superseded by a railway, it had en proved on oath, that more horses were now used in con nection with the Liverpool and Manchester Railway than were on the same line before its establishment. Railroads could not compete for heavy goons with sea-borne conveyance. He knew of no Railroad which had such natural advantages as this one. Were the Railway established, tradesmen in t he country would come to London and transact business, and return on the af ternoon of the same day. In the event of adverse winds, L fish would be frequently landed at Yarmouth and s ent up to on don by the Railway. There could be no doubt that on many occasions the fishermen would find it convenient, even neces sary, to use more expedition than the Thames affords the ould m, which would compel them to come by the Railway. It w very much facilitate the business of the Packet Service, and by sending letters down to Yarmouth or Harw ich, a great important saving in time would be effected. He concluded by saying that he had no doubt he had convinced the Committee that this Railroad would be for the benefit of the public, for the whole consumers of produce, of cattle, and fish in the me tropolis, and also for the landholder. J. C. Robertson, Esq., stated that the capital amounted t r o 1,600,0001., that 500,0001. was to be of loans which they wee empowered to raise ; that there were 61,301 shares subscribed for and paid upon; of these shares 18,917 were subscribed for by persons having a local interest on the line, and 33,672 by those who have no local interest ; that the number of share holders subscribing for 2,000 1 . and upwards , was 183, holding 25,934 shares—handed a copy of resolutions passed at Chelms ford, Ipswich, Colchester, Beccles, and Ilarleston-- - st ated that the Railway received considerable support from the towns through which it will pass." SECOND DAY, MAY 2. Mr. Edward Willett, manufacturer, of Norwich , bad in his employ from 1,600 to 1,800 hands. Should imagine that from 15 to 20,000 hands were engaged in the manufactures of Nor wich. Is of opinion that th manufactures are very m uch in creasing ; that most of the goods were sent to London by vans, at an expense of 9/. 6s. Bd. per ton. Could not send them by sea in consequenae of length and slowness o f the ee passage. Rapidity of conveyance is of the utmost importance to the class of goods manufactured at Norwich. A r nore spdy means of conveyance would very much increase the manufac tures of Norwich. Was of opinion that if Norwich had the means of transit which the Railway would afford, it would become the principal manufacturing market for the supply of London. Mr. Robert Merry, corn merchant, Norwich, had b een up: wards of 30 years in that trade ; stated that he calculated there were sent from Norwich annually Barley Malt Flour 60,000 sacks Seeds The present rate of conveyance is Id. per cooinb per wile' and took from three to five days on the journey ; is apt t! o make the corn spoil, particularly during the months f April and May : should say he lost as much as 3001. per ann eei ri from waste caused by shipping ; is of opinion that of conveyance is most important. head, th Mr. John Fowler, of Gunton Hall, Suffolk, stated average cost of sending cattle to market was Bs. Per d and ls. 3d. sheep ; that they were seven days on the Ne w, The average loss of driving each beast, two stone. /117 " be of great convenience to graziers if they had stems or veyance ; often regretted there was no steam conveyance ford kille the cattle. Were a railway established, meat might be expeditio in the country and sent up to London in a much more vvie„leed some state than after having been driven to London and lo" there. Mr. John Lincoln, a fish merchant of Yarmouth, bad been in the habit of dealing in all sorts of fish, particularly nl3- karel, soles, turbot, and fresh herrings during the last s!! 1 Years. His fish at present by the vans generally to sh o uld hours. Were there a quick and regular conveyance, sh t h. send up large quantities of fresh herrings from YarOlidon Believes that fish would be sent from Yarmouth to Ii or by Railway, and from thence to Oxford, Birmingham, and 0t"" inland counties. tated Mr. William Mann, a fisherman of Yarmouth , ha t, that from his own experience, the small fishermen 01es--, 7, town were unable to bear the charges of at the Vans, lulu "' - o re the thfore obliged either to sell their fish much less Pri ce ' h depend on any conveyance which they might meet w ith Y chance. THIRD DAY.-MAY 3. Sir C. B. VERE, Cchairrnan. John Harvey, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Trade a nd the manufacturer of Norwich for the last forty years , Was means of introducing the shawl trade to Norwich ; almos,„t be the produce is sent to London either by van or coach. coaches arc often pre-engaged to carry parcels by some MOW facturers ; there is no canal communication whatever between" London and Norwich ; the Norwich manufactured goods are very subject to damage at sea; a Railway between Louth:ills and Norwich would very much increase the trade of Norwie ' in consequence of the facilities of communication thus estft; Wished ; should say he was personally acquainted with 2 0-- people in Norwich, hardly knew any one who was not favour aisle for the formation of a Railway; is of opinion that the present means of communication between London and Nor wich are insufficient. Mr. John W. Robberds, manufacturer, of Norwich, s l og stated, that the manufactures of Norwich were considerablY the increase ; the manufacturers were, however, much erareP o e c i s by the want of adequate means for the convey a nce of g e o , and passengers; very few goods are sent by water in e° t he quence of the delay on the voyage ; the establish ment of 1,.,0 Railroad would have the effect of bringing Norwich w ithin :. c miles of London ; does not think the presen t means of 5;0 veyance sufficient ; a Railroad would make Norwich , as had been, the first manufacturing city in England. sta n rn tea_ Capt. Geo. Manby, barrack-master, of Yarmouth , that the town of Yarmouth was better situated for corncob, nication with Ireland, America, and the whole of the 14,, of Europe than any other part of the Eastern co unties of .r. 4 land.
