THIRD EDITION OF ~ THE SUN." it have received many complaintj•orra Subscribers 'who are fregue.ntly disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentm Debates up to a Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, stc. &c.—The Betting at TattersallS on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds— The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE HOURS IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MORNING BUN," containing ALL the Debates, dc. &c., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.

Ottenin_c atilt LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1845. We are glad to perceive that the objectionable na ture of the Board of Trade Railways Committee is not likely to be withdrawn from the notice of the Legislature. In the course of a somewhat animated conversation which passed between the Earl of 'DAL HOUSIE and Lord BROUGHAM, the latter Peer ex pressed an opinion, on Thursday night last, confirm ing, in express terms, that which our readers may remember we have, in many former articles, endea voured to enforce on their most serious consideration. The Noble and Learned Lord said that " a judica ture, like that which was exercised by the Board of Trade over railway schemes, was a judicature abhorrent to the constitution and odious to the whole country." The transactions out of which the con versation arose amply justified these misgivings as to the working of the very anomalous body in question. In reference to the several lines ptejec; - ed between London and York, which had been under the consi deration of, and :eported upon by, the Rail way Com missioners, Lord Bnouo HAM wished to know " whether the Noble head of the Board could tell him on what day, and at what hour of that day (fur this was a most important element in the case) their deci sion on the lines he spoke of was come to? It was well known at twelve o'clock on Tuesday noon that the London and York' had been decided against, and the consequence was that the shares of the other two projects for such railway had risen two and three per cent. premium long before the Gazette announcing the decision was published." This was a question in volving , 4 hat the Noble and Learned Lord declared to be " a fact, communicated to him by a very important merchant and broker." We ourselves alluded, not long since, to a similar statement having been broadly made by Mr. WAKLEY, in the House of Commons, and having received no contradiction—distinctly as that was challenged—from her MAJESTY'S Ministers at the time. It can admit of no doubt that the subject of Lord BROUGHAMS question on Thursday last directly involved the character of the Board of Trade Railways Committee. If the charge be true, they cannot shelter themselves from the imputation of a gross breach of duty to those who appointed them (and who we still take leave to contend, paren the!ia ally, had no title or power to make such an ap pointment), except at the expense of their character for common management and ordinary official dis cretion. If the Board can vindicate itself from laving, in the conduct of its affairs, manifested a lack of common business-like management and official discretion ; this it can do only by throwing overboard all pretensions to a strict, impartial, and un compromising discharge of its very responsible duty. A main ingredient of the instructions upon which it acted was, that its deliberations should be with closed doors, and its decisions first promulgated in the London Gazette. If the Earl of DALHOUSIE and his brother Commissioners are prepared to show that Le premature communication of the Board's decision in this case, prior to the notice in the Gazette, was made by any parties cognisant of the Board's secret deliberations ; they, the Noble Earl and his Col leagues, will only have to disprove the averment of Lord BROUGHAM, that the intelligence which ought not to have been known -beyond the Board table, till the coming out of the Gazette on Tuesday even ing, was already actually and largely operated upon on the Stock Exchange by twelve on Tuesday noon. Now, was ti is assertion disproved by Lord DAL HOUSIE ? His Lordship replied to Lord BROUGHAM thus—" The fact was, that the precise time at which the decision was made was in the afternoon. The Board on that day we.% held in the afternoon ; and, therefore, it was utterly impossible that the rise in the shares could have taken place with the Board of Trade " This i really wie of the most remarlmble von se quiturs that ever illustrated Parliamentary I. When Doctor JOHNSON; in oue of his stoutest fits of critical scepticism, ridiculed the notion, not only of the genuineness of the Ossianic Poems, but hinted his conviction that the whole story which MACPHERSON had got up of their discovery, was an imposture, a aea. low Highlander undertook to satisfy the scrupulous I * This Return does not include the British Isles.

Loss OF TILE BRITISII BRIG GLENGARIFF.—A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign office, containing copies of dispatches froni . the Govern ment of Mexico, relative to th e total loss of the English Brig . Glengariff, on the Bar of G oazocoa o„ with part of her crew, in November, 1844. , lexicographer of the veritable antiquity of the poetry and the integrity of its translator and editor, by triumphantly offering to pyoduce to the learned author of the " Rambler," the very box in which the poems were found. Just so much relation to the real issue between the. public and the Board of Trade has Lord DALHOUSIE'S attempted refutation of the charge against the Board of Trade Railways Committee. If there were no possibility of Commissioners indivi dually communicating one to another, prior to the meeting of the Board, what was the opinion or re port upon a given line, which he should be disposed to concur in—if there were no possibility that others, more or less in the confidence of such CoMmissioners, should communicate to parties out of doors, for their own purposes, the ascertained resolutions the Com missioners would come to in any such given case, and which resolution they would thus have had the means of certainly arriving at— then there might have been some force or reason in Lord DALHOUSIE'S explanation, and some ground for the inference he so complacently founds upon it. But since there were these, and, by possibility, many other such means, through which this official intelli gence might clandestinely transpire, the Noble Earl's intended disproof of the charge announced by Lord BROUGHAM amounts to an utter failure. It is a shot which, so far from hitting its intended object, is ab solutely fired in another direction. It is a clumsy plea of an alibi which leaves the case it was meant to support ten times more damaged than it would have been had no such plea been offered. We have never been satisfied with the explanation in Mr. °Tam's case, in all its bearings. But if that could scarcely run on all fours, this of Lord DALHOUSIE:S is absolutely lame and crippled. We have no doubt that Lord BROUGHAM will soon find an ample case for the mo tion he pledges himself to bring forward, at an early day, for the revision and extensive modification of the present constitution and powers of the Board of Trade Railways Commission. The accounts from Zurich are to the 11th inst. On that day the Diet was chiefly occupied with a debate on a general amnesty for those engaged in the late disturb ances, when the question was referred to a Committee. The Diet next entered upon the decree of Lucerne, on the subject of the estates and property of the persons involved in the late events ; but in each of these ques tions no decision could be come to for want of a sufficient number of members, and there being no more business before the Diet, it adjourned sine die. According to the latest intelligence, all apprehensions of civil war or any serious disturbance had ceased. The cantons in general are too poor to maintain extraordi nary troops, and most of those raised for the occasion have been disbanded. The disciples of the Jesuits, how ev, r, are still violent against the Protestants. The New Zurich Ggzttte publishes an account of a review which took place at Fribourg, a Catholic canton. The Chief Baillie addressed the landsturm in a furious speech, in which he used the fol lowing words :—" Those who are not for the Jesuits are against them and against holy religinn ; the faithful who meet such ought to rip them up and finish them, and the Jesuit fathers aceord to them absolution beforehand. Berne wants to overthrow our churches, and Protestantise Switz2rland." The same jaurnal contradicts the charge against Berne and adds :—" The Catholic cantons most ardent for civil war are beginning already to cool, be cause of the burden of supporting troops, which they cannot afford to pay. It is on this account that the poor little cantons of Schwytz, Uri, and Unterwalden, have already shown a disposition to back out of the quarrel. We now find that Lucerne, the foremost in the fight, is in a similar predicament. The neas from that canton is to the 10;1. At that time the troops were disbanding' only four companies being retained both for town and country. So drained had the State been that they were obliged to have recourse to the issue of bonds. If the Committee of the Diet only act with ordinary prudence the thirst fur civil war will expire of itself." Madrid Journals of thJ 9.h have been received, but they bring no news. On the preceding day the three per Cents. were quoted at 35, and the Fives closed at 261, both at sixty days. We learn from the Paris papers that a large majority of the Chamber of Deputies are in favour of the imme diate conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock, and it is not at all improbable, if the Ministry should resist the mo tion t f M. MURET DX BORT, that they will be signally defeated. The Bureaux had lected a Committee to con sider and report on the Bill, and of the nine Members .chosen, on'y one M. DE TRACY was opposed to it. All the rest were in favour of immediate conversion. The Deputies appointed to form the Committee are MM• PERIF.R (Mn), BENOIST, ACMES, FoULD, LESTIROUD3IS, BAUDE, BINCAU, RIIIOUET, and DE TRACY. Several Mem bers, though formerly opposed to the measure,had come fur wari to support it. M. DELASSERT, one of that class said the question mu.t be settled one way or the other; he thought the adoption of the proposition of M. NIURET DE BORT would be desirable as regard. d the country, the Legislature, and even the holders of stock them selves : and he considered the present as fa vourable an opportunity of carrying the mea sure as any other. M. MoemY was against the principle of conversion, but if it was to be done at all, the sooner the better. The compromise had been made between the Conecrvatives and the Opposition on the Bill relative to votirg in arrondissements, and twenty-five francs of direct taxes, in place of fifty, as t ai. ginally proposed, had been fixed as the amount ne,ces , ary to give a vote. The Bureaux were also engaged. in examin ing M. LEM.; ROLLIN'S proposition to al-,ol,ish the pro perty qualification necessary to hold, n seat in the Chamber, and to allow a daily r,cip-md to each De put. . It was energitically opposed in all the bureaux, and eventually rejected, eight bureaux being against it, and only one 4 .CL its flavour. A Committee had been appointed to consider and report on the Bill brought in by M. Rre.MUSAT, relative to public function aries sitting in the. Chamber. Five of the Members are in its favour, and four against it. A motion was also made by M. DE MONTLAVILLE for th'e total abolition of the duty on newspapers, and, after some discussion, referred to the Committee. The.t Committee had proposed to reduce the present daty to 4 centimes per sheet, for all journals and pe liodical publications appearing in the departments of the Seine, the Seine-et-Marne, the Seine-et-Oise, and all arrondissements containing a town of 50,000 souls ; and to 3 centimes for all journals published elsewhere. This proposition is generally opposed by the Paris journals. THE BOURSIIi—SATIIRDAII, MARCH 15 _rTst Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

ADJOURNED INQUEST -UPON THE BODIES 1 OF RICHARD GRIMES, G. CHAPMAM, T. - WRIGHT, AND M. SMITH.—(THIS DAY.) • At ten o'clock this morning Mr. Baker, the Coroner for East Middlesex, and the jury empannelled imi this case, re sumed the examination into the circumstances of the acci dent, in the Town-hall, Poplar. As before, the attendance was very numerous. Mr. Ballantine again attended for Mr. Joseph Samuda, and the principal person implicated in the unfortunate occurrence, namely, the foreman Lowe, was able to be in attendance. The names of the jurymen having been called over, - Mr. Ballantine begged to state, on the part of Mr. Samuda, that the person Lowe had borne a very first-rate character as a careful, attentive man, up to the time of this accident. Mr. Samuda also requested, as he himself had no evidence to give, and as his attendance was commanded at the House of Commons, to be allowed to depart. The CORONER thought that there could be no abjection to the granting of his request. Several of the jurymen expressed their dissatisfaction that some of the workmen in Mr. Samuda's employment had re fined to give up articles, as the lever, &c., connected with the lamentable accident. Some of those persons who were present repudiated any intention of withholding any infor mation. Mr. Samuda also stated that be had given positive orders that every assistance should be rendered to the jurors, and if any omission had occurred, he should at once order it to be rectified. The CORONER thought such discussion was irregular, and the conversation dropped. . The evidence taken on the previous occasions was then read over for the purpose of correction or addition; but ex cepting some verbal al terationsnoth ing was added or amended: • Mr. Lowe was asked if he would question the witness Cockayne; but first the piece of wood. supposed to be that so frequently alluded to in the course of the previous exami nations, was produced. The witness Cockayne said it was • not the piece which had been used at the boiler. The wit ness Burnand said it was. Mr. Lowe denied that it was the piece, and the altercation was growing warm when the Co . toner interrupted it, by continuing to read the evidence given by the second witness Burnand. The first witness was in consequence unquestioned. • Mr. Lowe was asked if he would question this witness? , The witness was examined as to previous quarrels between them, the object of the question being to show that the wit ! ness was prejudiced against the questioner. The scientific statement made by Mr. Farey, the eminent engineer of Guilford -street, was then read over, as was that made by Mr. Bell. At the conclusion of the reading Joseph Turner was called—l live in Bermondsey, and am a ' labourer. I have been in the employ of Mr. Samuda for a short time before the accident occurred by explosion. I was employed upon this boiler for about three weeks before. I do not know where it came from, or what was given for it. I should think it worth about 30/. The plates of the boiler were such as - were commonly used in works of that kind, and quite sufficient to resist ordinary pressure. Tile workmanship was very good. The rivets were strong, ' and they did not give way on the explosion The plates themselves were torn and burst. In some places the thickest part of the iron had given way. I cannot form any sound opinion upon the cause of the explosion. I was engaged part of the time in the counting of the two engines, and I think that the engine worked too slow, owing to the length of the pipe from the boiler to the cylinder. The length was some thirty or forty feet. The cold weather also condensed the water in the steam pipes. There was a cock about half-way between the engine and the boiler, to carry off the condensed water, but it did not do it effectually-. I observed that when the cock was turned water flowed from it in small quantities, and that steam also escaped from it. An increased power of steam would not occasion under such circumstances an increased speed of the engine. I was near the boiler after breakfast on the morning of the acci dent, and I noticed nothing unusual. It appeared to be going on very well. I did see a piece of wood in an inclined direction against the boiler. I saw it there four or five minutes before the explosion. The piece of wood was in • tended to keep the handle of the lever up, so as to prevent the escape of steam by the safey-valve. There was a nail in the piece of wood, and the handle of the lever pressed against it. Ido not know who placed it there, and I saw no one meddling with it at any time. By ajuror—The nail was a small one, about five inches long. By the CORONER—It was firmly driven in. I went with a can to the syphon, in order to get a little hot water to thaw the ice which was in the pipe attached to the boiler. Shortly after I left the explosion took place. The piece of wood was then in the •isosition I have already described. As I was leaving Mr. Lowe came towards the boiler, so that he could have seen toe wood and the nail as well as me. I did not hear him say anything, nor observe him do anything to it. I saw no other person go near from the period of my leaving to the time of the explosion. I must have seen any one if they had. I know the witness Cockayne, and I did not see him near it. I did see Burnand there some time before. I made no observation to Mr. Lowe regarding the wood or the nail. I did not see Jonathan Smith (one of the deceased persons) near at hand. Myopinion was that the piece of wood was in tended to push the safety-valve open, so as to blow the steam off. The CORONER—Why. you described the object of the stick very differently just now. Would it prevent the ha:idle going up or down ? Witness—lt would prevent its c:oming down. By the CORONER—I do not know whether the valve opened by the lever being drawn up or down. I have not heard since how it was. There was no room for play between the nail and the handle, as the one rested upon the other. The handle could not in consequence move downwards to admit of the escape of steam. By the CORONER—I was at the time of the explosion about fifteen feet from the boiler, and in sight of it. I did not see the man thrown into the air. -The first person I saw was Mr. Lowe lying near the boiler. He was injured, but I don't know where. He was lying in front of the boiler. 1 saw two of the deceased men, Thos. Wright and another, removed from tinder it quite dead. I saw also Grimes, who was blown to the other side of Bow-creels. When he was brought back Ihe was not aliv e . Th e i r d ea th was cause d b y t h e explosion. The explosion was not so loud, as powerful in its effects. I saw two pieces of the upper shelves of the boiler, one about 5001bs. weight, near the Crown public-house, about three hundred yards from the scene of the explosion ; the other 600 or 700 cwt. was found, near the gate of the Plate-glass Works. That might be about 120 feet off. By a juror.—The pipe connectir sg was, for the greater part, cov the engine with the boiler • raosphere would cause con P;red in. The action of the at- By the CORONER—I was `'..ensation. The pipe was all perfect. present at the testing of the boiler, after it was s.6tached to the engine. I did not see it. tested before. Ttie steam had been brought up on Monday, but I cannot ',ell to what extent. I cannot say what weight was on the lever, or the extent of proving. Mr. Lowe, when he came to the front of the boiler on the day of the accident, looked at the guage- glass, but I did not see him handle it. 1 noticed the water in the boiler myself, and it was above the glass. If it is below the glass you cannot see it. There might be ten inches of water in the boiler. The CORONER—I do not think that, as the case stands, them was anydeficiency of water. Mr. Farey's evidence SCAMS to say that. Mr. Lowe had no question to ask the witness. John Barnes, of Wellington-street, Strand, was next called—l am a civil engineer and I have examined the boiler which had exploded. My attention was particularly directed as to the cause of the explosion. I examined in the first instance if the boiler had been over-heated, so that gas might be produced, but found that that hypothesis was ut terly untenable, inasmuch as the upper row of tubes being made of brass, were incapable of eliciting heat in suflicient quantity to decompose water, and they presented no signs whatever of gas having been formed. It was, therefore, evident that the boiler had been burst from an overcharge of steam. I conceive that every square inch of the boiler was subjected to a pressure of 1001bs. By the CORONER—I was previously acquainted with the same boiler on board the Waterman No. 11, and knew that it was made to sustain a pressure of 181 b. to the square inch, for which pressure it was sufficiently strong. The plates were 3-Bths of an inch, and the steam-chest was 5-16ths. They were of wrought-iron. I consider a pressure of 451bs. a very improper pressure, because as the general form of the boiler was cylindrical, which is the strongest form, and since the pressure is uniform throughout, and the resistance of the plates is also uniform, there is no weak point in a boiler of acylindrical form, but in this case a considerable portion of the top of the boiler had been cut away from its original formation, to allow the addition of a steam bok, whereby the pressure on that part had nothing whatever to resist it. You will see it (exhibiting the plan) here, and it must have been apparent to any one connected with the boiler.. The fault might have been remedied by a stay across it of equal strength with the corresponding parts which had been cut away. This, however, had not been done, and from that defect the boiler would yield with less pressure than it would have otherwise stood. By the CORONER—Mr. Lowe must have seen the weakness of the boiler. I examined the safety valve, and think in many respects the boiler was injudiciously constructed. The principal point I complain of is the complexity of the lever, which tended materially to increase the chances of acci dents. But more particularly I complain that the lever for lifting the valve is not constructed as is usual in London, as it allows the valve being lifted, but is so constructed that no action of the lever can hold it down. The valve is self acting as far as the escape of steam is concerned, but no action upon it can keep it down. lam of opinion, how ever, that if the valve had had fair play the accident would not have happened; and I therefore think that it must have been fastened down. The effect of the piece of wood with the nail in it would be to fasten down the valve. I can account for the partial blowing off of steam, by supposing that the valve was par tially open, but not so much so as to prevent explosion. I have made a calculation as to what the rate of rising must have been. From an examination of the fires, the capacity of the boiler, and the rate at which the steam would be gene rated, I find that if no escape whatever were allowed, the pressure of steam would increase about 1001bs. to the square inch in less than a minute. lii a smaller temperature it would increase more slowly. The valves constructed by all the fins-rate engine- makers are made so that the steam itself can open the valve, and no weight can be placed upon it by the engine-man, for to reach it he must first enter the boiler—a feat inigossible, from the steam itself. I have heard one of the witnesses say that the valves on board some of the steam-boats may be loaded, but I have never seen that on the Thames. Where possible, I consider it highly dangerous to place anything on the lever, so as to stop it. I should consider it showed a great want of caution to do so, and that it would be likely to lead to ad occurrence like the present. (The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.) MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The past week's arrivals of English Wheat and Barley have been only moderate ; those of Malt and Scotch Oats on the increase ; but the receipts of all other kinds of Grain have been only limited. Fresh up we received a fair supply of Wheat coastwise from Essex and Kent ; but, from Lin colnshire and Cambridgeshire, very little came to hand. The show of samples was less than for some time past, owing to which, and the full average attendance of millers and others, rather an active de mand was experienced for selected qualities, and, in some few instances, a trifle more money was obtained for such.. In all other kinds, a fair amount of business was transacted, but no improvement was noticed in the currencies, and a total clearance was not effected. The general condition of the samples was good. The show of Foreign Wheat was by no means large. holders were again firm, and obtained full currencies in every trans action. Bonded Corn was, however, very dull, and almost nominal in value. The supply of English and Foreign Barley was not large, but fully adequate to meet. the wants of the buyers. Fine Malting parcels were quite as dear. In other kinds very little was doing at late rates. We had rather an extensive supply of Malt on offer. Chevalier parcels met a fair demand, at prices about equal to those paid on this day se'nnight ; but all other kinds were a mere drug, arid the terms lower. Of Oats, especially Scotch, we had a fair quantity offering. The Oat trade was dull, and prices were with difficulty sup ported. Beans, Peas, and Flour were in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at late rates. In Seeds, very little was doing. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the importa tions of live stock from abroad, since this day se'nnight, have been on a somewhat extensive scale, they having amounted to 100 Oxen and Cows, together with 80 Sheep, all from Holland. Although there were . some well made -up animals amongst them, by far the largest portion were of unusually inferior quality ; in deed, we scarcely ever recollect to have witnessed a worse collection of Dutch stock, and we doubt whether many of the Oxen were fit for consumption, not a few of them being, -in our opinion, affected vtith the pre vailing epidemic. The Beasts were disposed of at from 8/ lOs to 191; the Sheep, 29s to 37s per head. From our own grazing counties the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to-day were seasonably extensive. As to quality there was, compared with that noticed on this day se'nnight, a slight improvement, yet it was by no means first-rate.- The attendance of buyers was numerous, yet, owing to the dead markets being heavily supplied with last week's arrivals, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state. The primest Scots and homebreds mostly found purchasers at last week's quotations, or from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs., but the value of all other breeds was with diffi culty supported ; in fact, in some instances towards the close of the market, a slight abatement was submitted to by the salesmen for such qualities, without effecting a clearance. The Bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, comprised 1,800 Scots and homebred.% from the 'Northern districts, 300 short horns, from the Western and Midland counties ; 500 Devons, Herefords, Bunts, &c., from other parts of England; 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 110 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were rather limited ; hence the Mutton trade was somewhat active, at an improvement in the cur rencies obtained on Monday last .of 2d per 81bs ; the best old Downs readily producing 4s 6d per 81bs. Generally speaking, this stock came to hand in fair condition. From the Isle of Wight 40.I.ambs were received per railway; but the supply from other parts was rather limited. The Lamb trade was inactive, and we cannot give prices with any degree of ac curacy. Upwards of 4,000 of the Sheep were out of their wool. With calves we were scantily supplied ; yet the Veal trade was inactive, at previous figures. Prime small Porkers sold steadily ; other kinds of Pigs slowly, at last week's quota tions.

PER I PAN !A AMEVI (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Sixaxisu took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL. On the motion of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, the amended report of the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill was brought up. On the motion being put for its being received, Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said, that he wished to attach a clause to this Bill, which he thought was necessary in order to render the Bill available, for all parts of the United Kingdom. The object of the clause was to oblige all Railway Companies in Ireland to make a deposit of 6d. in the pound, on the estimated cost, with the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery in Ireland. He wished to extend the provision of the 2d Victoria, which provided fur the expenses of the suits in Chancery to Ireland. The report was then brought up, and the clause was read a firss time. : On its being put a second time, Mr. HAWES wished to inquire whether any regulation specifically similar to this had been introduced into the English railway Acts ? Lord G. SOMERSET replied that there had not been any such clause, and that this was entirely new. Mr. HAWES asked why, if these provisions were necessary, they were not applied to English Acts ? Mr. I'. B. SMITH said that the object of this clause was, not to place Irish railways in any worse position than similar projects in England, but to rectify a mischief arising out of the effects of the standing orders of the Court of Chancery in Ireland. By the standing orders of that Court it was ordered that there should be an instalment paid into the hands of the usher of that Court, which constituted what is called the "Suitors' Fund." Great inconvenience has been experienced by making the usher the depositor of this money, and in 1783 aa Act was passed for transferring this "Suitors' Fund" from the hands of the usher to those of the Account tant-General of the Court of Chancery. reserving a fee for the usher of the Court. He thought this was necessary, and it would place the railway companies in Ireland in no worse position than that of similar companies in England. The House then went into Committee on the amended re port, and on the 17th clause, which gins power to the Board of Admiralty to pull down the works of railway com panies which in V•eir opinion obstructed or in any way affected the navigation or defence of any river on the coast, or creek, or other arm of the sea, being put, Mr. HAWES said that he believed that the Hon. Member for Plymouth (Mr. Gill) had had some communication with the Hon. Gentlemen the Secretary to •the Admiralty relative to the introduction of some words, which would modify the power of the Admi ra lty t o afect works constructed below high water mark. He thought the House were not aware of the enormous power which this clause gave to the Admiralty, or they would look a little more carefully into it. By this clause, after a rail way company had gone through the Committee and the House, by the simple word of the Admiralty Engineer the whole of their plans might be set aside, or even destro3 ed, if it should happen that they had been constructed before the veto was uttered. Now he thought that the better plan would he for an insertion in the standing orders to require that any company having works to construct that would be liable to the jurisdiction of the Lords of the Admiralty, that there should be plans deposited with the Admiralty concurrently with those deposited with the Committee of Standing Orders of the House of Commons, and that if the Admiralty had anything to object to to come and make the objection before the Committee. Mr. FITZROY said that, from a communication which he had had with Mr. Sidney. Herbert, he believed that the words proposed to be introduced by the Hon. Member for Ply mouth did not meet with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Admiralty, and that the plan proposed by the Hon. Member for Lambeth was incompatible with the usages of the House, as it would interfere, he conceived, with the Queen's prerogative. Mr. lIAIVES objected to the unqualified powers which the clause gave to the Board of Admiralty, and suggested that the Board of Admiralty, when they had cause to com plain of railway obstructions to navigable rivers, should go before the Parliamentary Committee of Merits, and there contest the points with the railway com pany. This would give both parties an opportunity of being heart:, and remove all objection to the power at present possessed by the. Board of Admiralty. He thought that some alteration might be made in the standing orders of the House to meet his views. The Hon. Member moved an amendment accordingly. Lord AIARSHAM could see no objection to the clause. He believed the Board of Admiralty exercised the authority alike to the interest of the railway and the convenience of the public. He knew from personal knowledge that the Board never withheld its sanction from railway projects which did not ab solutely interfere with, or obstruct the traffic, in navigable rivers. In the late case of the Rossendale Railway, which crossed a navigable river, the Board of Admiralty were ap plied to for power to form a bridge or viaduct, and the Board seeing that the line was for the convenience of the public at large readily granted rt. He believed they acted upon the same in every case that came before them. Sir W. CLAY said they bad heard a good deal of mur muring against the authority of the Board of Trade, and he thought the Board of Admiralty would become equally un popular if the clause were agreed to. The clause left these disputed points to a partial tribunal, but the Hon. Member for Lambeth would carry them before an impartial Committee, where the interest of both parties would meet with every attention. Sir G. CLERK reminded the House that in the course of last session of Parliament the subject of the encroach ments of railways on navigable rivers was brought under the consideration of the Government by the Hon. Member for Montrose, who pointed out that the 46th of George 111. duly required that notice should be given to the Secretary of the Admiralty when embankments or quays were about to be made in navigable rivers. The Honourable Member thought that this was insufficient to protect the interests of the public, and thought that much greater powers should be given to the Admiralty. His Right Hon. Friend the First, Lord of the Treasury, on that occasion admitted that the sub ject was one of great importance, and consented to the appointment of a commission to inquire into the subject, and to ascerlrain if it was necessary that additional powers should be given to the Admiralty. The Committee reported that, notwithstanding the required notices, very inconvenient encroachments and obstructions had been made to our na vigable rivers, and it had therefore been thought necessary to introduce this clause into the present measure. But he could hardly understand how Hon. Members could object to its provisions, for when railway companies proposed to inter fere with private property, Parliament never sanctioned it without the consent of the owner. Upon the same principle, the noose should withhold its sanction to railway obstruc tions on navigable rivers, until the consent of the Board of Admiralty had been expressly and formally obained. He therefore could not support the amendment of the Hon. Member for Lambeth. After a few words from Sir D. NORREYS, who supported the clause in its original form, The House divided, when there appeared— . For the amendment Against it Majority against it On our return to the gallery, Sir W. CLAY was objecting to the 17th clause, which relates to the powers' of a railway company dealing with the mains of gas or water companies. The Honourable Member thought the clause was not sufficiently stringent, and related one or two instances where great public inconveniences had arisen from the indiscriminate powers given to railway companies. In the case of the West London, which connected the line of the London and Bir mingham Company with that of the Great Western, it would be recollected that a short tifire ago the western part of the metropolis was greatly incommoded from the circumstance of the line crossing three mains of the Kensington gas-works and water-works. For a time Pall-mall, Tottenham-court-road, and the principal portions of the west-end were left • totally without a supply of water, either for domestic purposes, or cases of emergency, as fires, Om It was to prevent the recurrence of ' suefi an inconve nience that lie wished to make the clause more stringent. He was not prepared then to state the precise terms of the amendment ; but as there were deputations who were experienced in the matter waiting outside, he would suggest that it should be left to them to frame an amendment, and let the clause be postponed till the third reading. Mr. KEMBLE and Mr. HAWES admitted the import ance of the suggestion, and asked the Noble Lord to give it every consideration. Lord G. SOMERSET certainly felt that the clause was; not sufficiently stringent to g'iard the rights of water and gas-works, and lie had no objection to agree to an amend. meet which had been suggested on a former occasion by the Hon. Member for Maidstone. This amendment would afford ample protection to gas and water-works, he hoped it would receive the sanction of the House. After a few words from Mr. DODD, who consented to postpone his amendment till the third reading of the Bill, Lord G. SOMERSET said he should take the third read ing to-morrow, at twelve o'clock. Col. SIBTHIIRP objected to the hour. The measure was of great public importance, and it was necessary that the final reading should be postponed to such an hour when it would be likely to - have a full attendance of Hon. Members. Clause 27 gave powers to railway companies that were not only monstrous, but un -English, and he should divide the House upon it. He moved an amendment. in effect restricting railway companies from going beyond 100 yards on the land adjacent to the line that might be required for temporary pur poses. In clause 27 the number of yards was restricted to 500. He would therefore propose that the words 500 yards should be altered to 200, but the motion fell to the ground for want of a seconder. On the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET, that clause 31, as amended, stand part of the Bill, Mr. HAWES said that this clause was so vague and indefinite that he could not at all consent to its insertion. The power given to the justices of the pease for the adjudication of difficult points was far too large, and he should move the omission of the clause, or if that were objected to, as he believed that the Elouse of Lords had adjourned for the holidays, and the Noble Lord (Lord G. Somerset) was not now pressed for time, as it would now be impossible to got the Bill into the Upper House till after the recast, he would wish the clause to be postponed. Lord G. SOMERSET explained that the House of Lords had only adjourned till to. morrow, and then it was believed they would adjourn till after Easter, and he was desirous of getting the Bill read a first time before the recess. Mr. HAWES said that then he should move for the omission of the clause. Sir DENHAM NORREYS said that he would second the motion, for the term property or enjoyment of property was so vague that it was impossible for any right decision to be come to by parties. The SPEAKER explained that the clause might be amended, but could not be omitted, as it formedpart ofthe Bill. Lord G. SOMERSET slid the amendment might be consi dered on the third reading, and that the Hon. Member for Cheshire (Mr. T. Egerton) had eht irge of this particular clause, and he would perhaps devise EIL mac means of obviating the objection. Mr. T. EGERTON said that he had consulted with his Hon. Friend the Member for Sussex (1 5 4 'r. Darby), who had great experience in these particular matters, and he had as • surred him that the term " enjoyment" ; was d perfectly legal term, and one well understood, and the refore not likely to occasion any difficulty. The amendment was then withdrawn. The remainder of the clauses were then passed with a few.. verbal amendments, and the Bill was order, ad to be engrossed and read a third time on Wednesday next,' r. 't twelve o'clock. LAND CLAUSES CONSOLIDA.TIO. N BILL. On the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET that' the report be brought up, Mr. GREENE brought it up, when Colonel SIBTHORP said that he found that all. opposi tion to these pills, %%Melt lie considered oeii her more ilex less than attacks on private property, was utt erlyineft'ectaal ; and he should, therotore, refrain from it 11l 'this in- Wance, but he did hope that when they w. !Igo lo another place they would meet with rejection, and %.I.he country would learn that there was some feeling - for thet: property of the small proprietors in Parliament.

GREAT WESTERN lidwmar.—On Friday a poor man, named John Jonathan, a wireworker by trade, proceeded from Bristol to Bath by the third-class (or cheap) train of the Great Western Railway, where he expired almost imme diately upon his arrival. The carriages employed in this train, although covered, are exposed at the sides, and in the present inclement state of the weather are, if possible, more inconvenient than the notorious second-class vehicles of this line. A coroner's inquest was held on the body of the unfor tunate man at the Full Moon Inn, Bath, on Saturday, when it appeared in evidence that, although the deceased had been for some time labouring under ill health, he left Bristol on Friday morning not worse than usual; that he was well clad, having double his usual quantity of clothes on; and that the cough from which he had previously been suffering had been eased by some medicine prescribed for him in Bristol: . .On his arrival at Bath, however, he was unable to get out of 'the carriage in which he had been conveyed ; he was removed by one of the porters, and assisted out of the station, thence transferred to the care of one of the boys who wait about the place, and after stag gering a few steps he fell down and expired. He was con veyed to the shop of Mr. Bright, a chemist, in the imme diate neighbourhood; two medical gentlemen were imme diately sent for, both of whom attended, but their efforts to restore animation were unavailing. The above facts having been deposed to by various witnesses, the jury returned a verdict that, " The deceased died by the visitation of God, and that his death had been accelerated by his exposure to the inclemency of the weather in one of the third-class car riages of the Great Western Railway." The jury also ap pended to their verdict a strong recommendation to the Great Western Railway Company to carry into effect the promised alteration of the second and third-class carriages made by the Chairman at the last hall- yearly meeting, at as early a period as possible. In consequence of the recent notorious malpractices at a gamblin..-house in Canterbury, the magistrates have issued an order for the suppression of all kinds of gaming, and announced their intention of prosecuting persons either guilty of it themselves or allowing it by others.—Dover Telegraph.

BOROUGH AND SPXII4I.X.FIELBEi. Very limited supplies of Potatoes having reached the water side during the week, our markets are not quite so over• stocked as has been the case for some considerable period. Selected qualities are therefore in improved request at full prices, but other kinds still hang heavily on hand. TALLOW. There is but little alteration in this market; buyers have taken Tallow sparingly, and the price this morning is a trifle lower than on Monday last. In new Y. C. there is no inclination to do business, the quotation is 39s to 39s 3d for the last three month's sellers. Town Tallow is rather more sought after; there is no surplus quantity. WOOL 11/111.3ULET. The prevailing contrary winds having prevented the arri val of shipping, scarcely any imports of Wool have taken place into London during the past week. No public sales have been as yet declared ; while, by private contract, there is a steady inquiry for both Foreign and Colonial qualities, at full pricen lilost kinds of English Wools are in good re quest, yet the quotations are not supported, arising chiefly from the fact. that a few weeks will bring into the market large quantities of the present year's clip.

The March Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey commenced this morning at the Court-house, St. Mary's, Newington, before a very numerous attendance of Surrey magistrates. . _ The grand jury having been sworn, the Learned Chair• matt proceeded briefly to address them, attar which they retired. Thomas Cooper, a youth about 17 years of age, was in dicted for stealing Igs., and sundry articles of wearing ap parel, the property of James Hill, from his premises in Union street, in the Borough. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, and the constable who took the prisoner into custody, that his parents lodged in his (prosecutor's) house, and availing him self of the facilities thus afforded him, he stole the articles named in the indictment, and disposed of the wearing apparel to a Jew for less than one-fvurth of their value. It further appeared that the prisoner was a very idle and proiligake boy, and was a source of constant annoyance to his parents, who were very respectable and honest people. The jary, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to six months' impri meat, with hard labour. RAILWAY COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.)
