The House of Lords did not sit. The Commons met at four o'clock. Lord INGESTRE moved the bringing up of the report on the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway on the broad gauge line, in favour of which the Committee had decided. Mr. COBDEN moved, as an amendment, " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire whether, in all future Acts for the construction of railways, provision ought to be made for securing one uniform gauge, and whether it could be prac ticable and expedient to bring existing lines of railway in Eng land, and lines now in course of construction, into uniformity of gauge, and if so, to report upon the best mode of culling these objects into effect in the present session of Parliament." Colonel WOOD supported the amendment. Mr. SHAW, as Chairman of the Committee, entered into a most eloquent and lucid statement of the reasons which had determined the Committee to decide in favour of the broad gauge line. The Right Hon. Gentleman, who was greeted with enthusiastic cheering during the course of his speech, concluded by calling upon the House to support the decision of the Committee. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought that the House ought to up hold the decision of the Committee. Sir G. GREY thought that the Great Western should have an independent line as well as the Birmingham Company. Sir G. CLERK supported the decision of the Board of Trade in opposition to that of the Committee. Sir T. WILDE, as representing the interests of the people of Worcester, supported the broad gauge line. Sir GEORGE CLERK explained that the Board of Trade had distinctly pointed out to the Great Western Company the objections to the change of gauge, and that it was not until a full hearing that the Board of Trade had decided. Mr. WARD denied that he was operated on either by personal canvass or by private interest. He had nothing to do with either of the Companies, but he considered that a question so large ought not to be decided incidentally by a Committee, but by the Legislature at large. Sir T. ACLAND thought that if the question of gauges were to be taken up, it should be taken up gravely ; but it was not fair to take it up now upon the question of this particular railway. The question regard ing the railway had been referred to the Committee, and the House would pay the Committee a very ill compliment if they now raised the question of gauges to throw the decision of the Committee over. Why had they not raised this question of the gauges on the Basing stoke Bill, when the broad gauge abutted upon the narrow gauge ? Sir R. PEEL thought that as a general rule the Minis ters of the Crown ought to abstain from interfering in questions of this sort. H e would exercise no influence to support the report of the Board of Trado, or to support the decision of the Committee. . ' r ..A.eu by 'ts rliend of his who had been used to judicial investigation, and looking to all the circumstances of the case, his cpinion was that it would not be wise in the House to overrule the decision of that Committee. On the motion that the report on the Oxford and Rugby Railway Bill be received, some discussion ensued ; hut, eventually, the report was ordered to be brought up by a ma jority of 36 ; the numbers being, for the adoption of the report, 79, and against it, 43. On the reading of the order of the day for going into Com mittee, several Hon. Members who had motions on the paper postponed them, on account of the lateness of the hour. Even tually it was determined that it was too late to go into Com mittee of Supply, and after disposing of the orders of the day, the House adjourned at half-past Twelve o'clock. Thursday night brought to a close the adjourned and protracted debate on Mr. C. B ULLER'S Resolutions rela tive to New Zealand, its government and relations with the mother country, and the conduct of successive admi nistrations of our Colonial Department towards it. The division on the Resolutions was honourable to the abi lity with which they had been opened by the Learned Member for Liskeard, and proved how strong an impres sion his speech had produced on the House. For, although both Sir R. PEEL and Sir J. GRAHAM took up the defence of Lord STANLEY'S policy, that is, of his prejudices towards this noble colony, with the zeal of partisans and the ingenuity of casuists, the Ministerial majority of the session was strangely diminished. A majority of 57 only, in a House of 395 Members, acquitted the present Go vernment of faults of omission and commis sion less blameable than those of their prede cessors, in dealing with the affairs and colonists of New Zealand. We have never concealed our own impressions of the original error in principle, and the subsequent miscarriage in details of the first Government which dealt with New Zealand as a con nexion with the British Crown, and employed Captain HOBSON as its negotiator, in the reign of WILLIAM IV. and of all the Governments which have since held office. Lord HOWICK'S acknowledgment of this error of princi ple and originally vicious scheme of establishment was so frank and manly that we have not another word to urge. Even Lord J. RUSSELL, in his speech of much vigour and cleverness, could not vindicate himself or his colleagues in administration from the charge of a misconception of the true character of the New Zealand connexion, the great responsibilities they were incurring at every step they were taking in a class of colonial regu lations, which required the most matured deliberation in approaching, in proportion as they were cf a character utterly novel and anomalous. Now, it does seem to us that even so lately as that recent period at which the tact and perseverance of Mr. C. BULLER in conducting his mission from the New Zealand Company to the great office in Downing-street, pinned Lord STANLEY to the necessity of finally proclaiming his intentions with regard to that Company—its pretensions, its position, its demands, and its future recognition or disavowal—every Ministry, in the interval we speak of, has equally compromised its re putation for prudence, plain dealing, and sound judg ment. Here was a colony, to the territorial property of which we had as undoubted a title as priority of geographical discovery and frequent resort and inter course with the natives could give us. Our Ministers were afraid or reluctant, or unprepared to propound their views. They would not call it a possession of the British Crown. They would not recognise it as the property of any other Crown. They would not give protection to British subjects, in the Bay of Islands, or at any other point upon which they were congregated. They would not ratify their contracts nor guarantee their property. The colony waxed British and strong in spite of their neglect. Something they must do. They sent out Captain HOBSON with powers to treat, and by that very act they moved as the British Government towards New Zealand as a colony of the British Crown. From that moment they should have exercised the rights, and what is far more important, they stood committed to the duties of sovereignty. The old reciprocated ties of allegiance and protection were already f orme d. O n t h eir part the Imperial Government has, beyond all question, neglected the most important of its duties to its British subjects in New Zealand. But now came a new, powerful, and wealthy associa tion projected a n d esta b l i shed in London, composed of many capitalists with out rank, of some aristocrats without capital, of some Members of Parliament (men of ability and honour), and, we are compelled to believe, of so me adventurers without capit a l; w i t h out rank, of some ability, and but an imperceptible modicum of honour. Here was money subscribed in abundance, and agents of very differing shades of moral character to force the largest returns that could be derived from it. With the exception of Colonel WAKEFIELD'S very doubtful but much over-rated principle of self paying colonisa tion, the New Zealand Company had few claims for preference over any of the nemerous land companic s that were at that time seeking public patronage. The Direction of this Company appears to have thought that " there was no harm in asking ;" and accordingly, in its communication with the Government, asked for the most enormous powers, as far as territorial possession and rights were concerned, that ever had been heard of. From Karakoora to Egmont, or to Nelson, the whole " block" was parcelled out in the Company's prospec tuses with the self-possession of an estate-agent, commis sioned to let out a given plot of ground on building leases. If the Colonial- office had been prudent, alarmed, and coy before, on the question of Crown title or no title, she threw herself into ,the very arms of this seductive Com pany ; gave all that was asked, and was willing to add more into the bargain. Before its own title was de fined to its own satisfaction, or to the right of locating its own immediate servants on the island soil,—the Govern ment permitted itself to be cajoled into a sort of official coquetting with the New Zealand Directors, which ended in its granting delegated powers and representative authorities far greater than any it ventured to reserve to itself. The Company (for, with all our respect for Mr. AGLIONBY'S high character and legal talent, we must turn to the plain but terrible charges brought by Captain Rous,which it might have been convenient far him to treat as brought forward out of time, but which, we are satis fied, will never be met)—made promises which it had not then, and has never since had the power to redeem ; deprived of lands it did not possess ; induced emigra tion to a soil upon which it had no power to guarantee a foot of settlement ; and of itself disppointed by the Government, deceived its fellow-subjects on a scale of unpardonable magnitude. After a careful perusal of the debate, we are compelled to denounce the concern as a dishonest one from the beginning. Mr. ELLICE declares that, in an experience of 40 years of the Colonies and Colonial administration, he has never known anything to equal in fatuity, folly, and mischievous mismanage ment, the whole dealings of the present and former Go vernments with New Zeeland. Were they, let us ask, the absolute dupes of that Company? We do not believe it. We rather suspect, from some passages in Mr. HOPE'S lame pleading, that the Government must have anticipated an accession of Parliamentary and political influence from their outrageous adoption of a pushing Direction, full of monied names and names of local authority and mark. We must object to this debate of so many evenings, as also a dishonest debate. The chief participators in it may be divided into three classes ; one of them only in tent upon clearing Lord STANLEY and his subordinates ; a second, bent on making out a good case for Captain FITZROY, the ex-Governor ; and a third, interested almost exclusively to achieve the difficult object of whitewashing the New Zealand Company's Direction. The wrongs of British emigrants, the murders of British settlers, the insults on the British flag ; the hideous savagery of out most intimate native con nexions were, for the most part, slurred over. Great public and political priaciples have been silently passed ever although notoriously outraged. The condi tion of New Zealand, and the relations of the Govern ment with the New Zealand Company, were disgraceful anomalies when the discussion began. It has left them scandalous, admitted, unalloyed facts. Mr. HOPE and Mr. CARDWELL, Sir R. PEEL and Sir J. GRAHAM, ap pear to have thought that the only result needful to be accomplished was the justification of Lord STANLEY. Lord STANLEY'S conduct and correspondence are a mere personal question, not worth one straw by the side of this UNSOLVED PROBLEM : What is now to be done with Acw Zealand and the British seteers in it, and their future government ? Sir R. PEEL must address himself to this point, not to a miserable and insidious attempt to throw the whole onus of culpable mismanagement and neglect, for which his own Government is so seriously re sponsible through the connivance and imbecility of its colonial department, on that Government which his has displaced. Madrid journals of the 14th hare been received. Ac cording to the Espel anza, a Carlist paper, the French Government had granted Don CARLoS passports for the Department of the Lower Alps, where, it is said, he will take up his residence for some time. General PRIM had left Madrid for Paris, and the Count DE BRESSON, the French Ambassador, was at Bayonne on the 16th, also on his way to the French capital, The Madrid Gazette of the 13th publishes the estimates for the year 1845, amounting altogether to 1,184 millions of reals, or 11,843,771/. The following are the estimates for the dif ferent departments in English money :—Civil List, 433,000/. ; the two Legislative Chambers, 11,423/. ; Foreign Affairs, 102,132/. ; Department of Justice, 187,882/. ; the Interior, 1,226,104/. ; Army Estimates, 1_ ol ;266 -,,Nitinr Ist.? h 1,254,954/. Accounts from the Basque provinces state that the abdication of Don CARLOS had been received favourably in those districts, and was regarded as the precursor of a marriage between the QUEEN and the Prince of ASTURIAS, Considerable fluctuations took place on the Madrid Bourse on the 13th. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and 32i account, and the Fives at 231 ac count. On the 14th the Threes declined to 311 cash, and 32* account, ; and the Fives closed at 231. The Paris papers are still occupied in discussing the statements made by Sir C. NAPIER and Lord PALMER STON, relative to the steam navies and fortified ports of the two countries, and the writers seem not a little puz zled what to make of them. The Journal des Debats claims credit for the present Government, from the very fears expressed on this side of the Channel at the great strength of France, and especially her means of attack and defence, and ironically attributes all the glory to M. TRIERS and the Left Centre. "It was easy," says that journal, " to conceive the embarrassment into which our opposition journals have been thrown by the speeches of Sir C. NAPIER and Lord PALMERSTON ; but it is curious to observe how they try to get out of the dilemma. Is our naval position improved ? Yes, it is so undoubt edly ; but then this has been done independent of our Ministers, or rather in spite of them. The traitors would have willingly left us at the mercy and discre tion of England, but they were not allowed. They have raised the fortifications of Paris, they have laid down railroads—but all this against their own will. They still remain as mean and miserable as we have re presented them to be ; and if France has a navy, an army, railroads, and steam ships, the honour belongs to the Radical party alone. To the Radical party ? No, indeed ; to M. TRIERS and the Left Centre. Who has governed the country for five years ? The Left Centre, to be sure. Who has obtained the abolishment of the right of search ? M. BILLAULT and the Left Centre. Who passed the Fortifications Bill ? M. TRIERS and the Left Centre. Marshal SOULT and M. GutzoT have been merely the puppets of the Left Centre. The part taken by the Ministry is this—it makes fine speeches about peace, and then goes to sleep in infantine security ; while England, foreseeing war, is providing to meet it. But read the two speeches of Lord PALMERSTON and Sir CHARLES NAPIER, and it will be found that they make the same reproach to the Tory Cabinet as is made here against the Conservative Cabinet. It is accused of leaving the means of defending the country to perish, while France, they say, under the direction of an able and powerful Government, is placing herself in a posi tion to invade England, and burn and destroy her ports and arsenals !" The Presse takes a very different view of the question, and treats the fears of Sir CHARLES NAPIER as purely imaginary. We give the following extract as a specimen : " Sir C. Napier has fallen into most ridiculous exaggerations. He has underrated beyond measure the power of his country, and swelled up beyond all bounds that of France. Such hyperbolical assertions cannot obtain credit without danger. It is so ntuch the more necessary to re-establish the truth in this respect, that our Ministerial journals have affected to take for gospel the fantastical speech of the Gallant Commodore, proudly opposing it to those per sons who say that our naval resources are not what they ought to be, and who urge the Government to increase them. That Sir C. Napier should give proofs of ignorance when speaking of our affairs, is not very astonishing, although he has abused somewhat too much the permission he might lay claim to of being mistaken, as we shall show just now. But the French journals must not be permitted to fall into the same errors, and there is no excuse for their echoing his assertions. Sir C. Napier has maintained two things; first, that our coasts are in a formidable state of defence; and, se. condly, that our navy, and, above all, our steamers, had reached such a point of development as to leave the navy of Great Britain far behind. To state this opinion is almost to criticise it sufficiently. As to the new packets that are being constructed, that is a fact titre to the imagination of Sir C. Napier. No order in this respect has been given or could have been given. Nothing will be done until after the vote of the Bill now pending, and then the packets that are to be built will belong altogether to commerce, and not to the Royal Navy." In the Chamber of Deputies the estimate for improv ing and strengthening the harbour of Algiers came under discussion, when the Members showed themselves more lavish of the public money than even Marshal SOULT. The Minister of War had demanded only 1,500,000 f. for that purpose, but the Committee thought the sum too small, and recommended a grant of 2,000.000 f. (80,0000, which was voted, after a sligh) opposition. The strike of the journeymen carpenters still con tinued. " Two weeks," says the Reforme, " have now nearly elapsed since the ' strike' commenced, and we are afraid that this will not be the last. The workmen are determined not to abate their demand ; they have even enhanced their original propositions, and now claim for journeymen of all grades uniform wages of five francs a day." M. GuizoT had a long conference with Lord C OWLEY on W ednesday, at the English embassy. On Thursday Marshal SELiSTIANI read the report of the Committee appointed to examine the Slave-trade Convention Bill. The Committee fully approve of the terms agreed to, pay high compliments to the nego tiators, the Duke DE BROGLIE and Dr. LUSIIINGTO'N, and recommend the most scrupulous and faithful exe cution of the treaty, and the adoption of every means at the disposal of the French Marine for rutting down the infamous traffic in slaves. This is a gratifying result, as the new treaty, we are convinced, will be infinitely more effectual than all those that have yet been nego tiated.

MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.-4. report is current in Dublin, that as the present building is in a very dilapidated state, and the site not very healthy, a new edifice will be erected in a different locality—probably on the lands of Cabinteely, about six miles from Dublin, on the Wicklow road. The report is entitled to cre dit. The present College, we believe, was built as a private residence, and is not well adapted for the purposes of education. Two advantages therefore may be gained by the change—a more healthy situation, and a more euphonious name. Any name, in fact, would sound better in the ears of certain English men and Orangemen than Maynooth. Cabinteely Col lege, for instance, would fall like music on the ears of Roden, and Winchilsea, and Plumptre—any name, indeed, would be preferable. Maynooth and Sir Robert Peel, therefore, committed a great oversight in not abolishing the odious appellation by Act of Parliament ; but pos sibly it can be done by a royal proclamation. WESTMINSTER HALL.—Scaffolding has been erected for some time against the gable of this ancient building, in Old Palace-yard, for the purpose, it is said, of re moving it altogether ; and, of course, along with it the magnificent gothic window so universally admired. We certainly understood, that according to Mr. Barry's original plan, the Hall was not to be touched, but no thing, it appears, is safe under the new management. The Commission appointed by the Legislature to super intend the construction of the Palace of Westminster (for this is to be the title of the two Houses of Parliament), are either asleep or on a journey, and constant deviations are adopted, utterly inconsistent with the plans sanc• tioned by Parliament. We should not be surprised if Mr. Barry, under the guidance of his new patrons, were by and by to come to the conclusion that the vene rated Hall of William Rufus and old St. Stephen's were incumbrances, and ought to be removed.

Accounts have come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope to April 7, but they have been anticipated. The features in the Bank of England's operations during the week to Saturday last, are an increase of 184,515/. in the amount of notes issued, and of 472,1101. in that of the notes reserved to the banking department, an augmentation of 101,8341. in the bullion, and of 515,9831. in the public deposits. The decision upon the "two gauges" for railways, as ap pears by the vote of the House of Commons last night, has created a great sensation in the City, especially among the members of the Stock Exchange, who are now mostly engaged in railway transactions for their prin cipals. The general feeling, irrespective of Bull and Beas operations, is in favour of the " broad gauge." Consols for the Account have been done at 99 1 ,4 ; the Three per Cent. Reduced at 99% ; the New Three- and. a- Quarter per Cents. at 102 1 4 % ; and Exchequer -bills at 575. to 595. premium. Very few bargains have been made to-day in the Foreign Securities.

The Duchess of Kent and spite arrived at Brussels at eight in the evening. The Duke and Duchess of Nemours will set out tomorrow morning for Valenciennes, and the Duchess of Kent for Germany. It seems that Lord Aberdeen will accompany Queen Victoria next month to Brussels, Coburg, Weimar, Dresden, and Gotha. Her Majesty's visit to Paris seems to be deferred till next year. Beaux, JUNE 1 1. A resolution, or rather an intention of the authorities, has just become known, to send away all foreign writers, that is all foreigners who are settled here. It is thought that they exercise an injurious influence on the press, which can not now be paralysed by any other means. The consequences of such a step cannot at present be estimated, as the number of men of letters is very great, and the execution of this measure of the police would effect numerous interests. We see that the word " foreigners" is to be understood in a twofold sense. First, to in clude all who are not Prussian subjects ; and second, these who do not belong to the city of Berlin. All those are to be sent away within a few weeks, some out of the kingdom, the others to the provinces. The number of these persons is very differently stated at twenty, thirty, and even forty. It will depend on the line that the police will draw. BERLIN, Jursa 13.—The law respecting the writers leaving here is more and more confirmed. The lists of all the names are, it is said, made out, and twenty-nine marked as the worst. The Ministers Bulow and Flottwell are said to oppose the measure, and to insist that at least the return of the King shall be waited for be fore extreme measures are thought of. An extraordinary sensation is caused here by news just received from Carlsruhe, that the population of that town, on the publication of the intelligence, had attacked the house of the Prussian Resi dent Minister, broken the windows, &c., and that the manufac turers had dismissed all their Prussian workmen. It appears to be understood in the City that Mr. Alderman Challis and R. W. Kennard, Esq. (of Thames.street), will on Midsummer-day (Tuesday) be elected Sheriffs of London and Middlesex without opposition. Mr. C. P. Villiers paired off with Mr. Brownrigg in favour of Mr. C. Buller's motion upon New Zealand. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 20.—Our arrivals of Grain are small this week. Fresh Wheat is in request; anything choice brings rather more money, and all other sorts fully as dear. Barley nominal. Oats and Shelling steady in value. Beans without alteration. Other articles as before. CORONER'S INQUEST. SUICIDE INDUCED BY DAUNICZNIIESS.—Last evening an inquest was held by Mr. Bed ford, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Ann Bray, aged 58, the wife of a labourer, living in Francis-street, Chelsea. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had for the last two years been in the habit of drinking to great excess, and when under the in fluence of liquor, was half mad. On Monday morning she got up at an early hour, and having procured a razor belonging to her son, proceeded to the water.closet, and cut her throat, dividing the muscles of the neck to the larynx. She was removed to the hos. pital, where she was attended by Mr. Hyde, the assistant surgeon. From the effects of the wound she partially recovered, but died on Thursday morning from delirium tremens, accelerated, Mr. Hyde said, by the loss of blood. The deceased had frequently threatened she would destroy herself..—Verdict, " Temporary insanity." THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY, FRIDAY EVEN ING.—As the express train to Paddington, consisting of four pas sengers' carriages and a luggage van, had nearly reached Salthill, the engine driver observed that the luggage van was off the rail. He immediately slackened the speed, and stopped the train before it had proceeded a quarter of a mile further, without causing the slightest alarm to the passengers. The driver then proceeded with the engine to Slough, and returned with the necessary assistance to replace the van, which was done in half an hour, and the train pro. ceeded to town. Fortunately, the van was in the rear of the car. riages, or the accident might have proved of serious consequence. The passengers during the delay did not leave the carriages. TEI.EGRAPII OVER THE ATLANIIC.—A writer in the New York Tribune suggests a plan for bringing Old England within a speaking distance. He proposes to run a copper wire, well covered, and as large as a pipe stem, from Nova Scotia to the coast of Ireland. This, as is thought, may be accomplished by winding the wire upon reels, and arranging it on board a steamer SD as to be reeled off as fast as the boat goes, and dropped the whole width of the Atlantic. The writer says—" Its gravity would sink it to the depth where water was so dense as to be of equal gra-. vity, and of course beyond the reach of any kind of collision. Be ginning and ending upon a bold shore, beyond the reach of anchors, it would be out of harm's way, and exposed but to two kinds of accidents—viz., from separation by its own weight, and the loss of the coating with which the metal must be protected. The steamer Great Britain would carry more wire of this size than would ex. tend to Europe, and its coat, I think, would be leas than a million of dollars." i ttv, 4:* 44. RAILWAY COMMIT' EES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. THE LEEDS AND WEST RIDING RAILWAYS. The Committee on this Bill, the Duke of Cleveland in the chair, met this day at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the case for the promoters. Mr. William Firth, cloth manufacturer, of Leeds, was examined by Mr. TALBOT. The witness gave evidence as to the great ad vantages of the proposed branches to the manufacturers and traders of the West Riding districts, who at present were subjected to much inconvenience and expense in the mode of transit now available. Mr. Bar Nus, on behalf of the opposing landowners, cross. examined the witness; but the Learned Counsel failed to elicit anything prejudical to the case for the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Daunton Luckton, Mayor of Leeds, was the next witness called—He was of opinion that the proposed lines of railway would add much to the general trade of Leeds, from the great facility which would be afforded in the transit of goods and general mer chandise. Mr. Baines was about to cross-examine the witness, with a view to show that a better line of railway could be constructed by a Bill likely to be brought into Parliament next year, but he was inter. rupted by _ _ Mr. TALBOT, who denied that the opponents had any right to go into evidence in favour of a competing line not before the Com mittee as a Bill or pi oject. _ . _ Mr. Sergeant j'ALFOURD, In reply, contended that the land owners were entitled to show that a line of greater merit, which would not interfere so much with their property, could be con structed. The room was then cleared to enable the Committee to consider the question raised. After a deliberation of an hour the parties were called in and informed by the Chairman that the Committee, having considered the polka, they had decided not to allow the opponents to go into evidence in favour of a line of railway not before them. The opponents should, therefore, confine themselves to evidence on the general case at issue between themselves as land owners, and the promoters as parties whose works were likely to injure their property. The examination was then continued, and the Committee adjourned at two o'clock till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. The Committee sat at the usual hour, and the traffic evidence was resumed. Mr. Josiah Parkes was called to depose to the coach traffic upon the present lines of road in the district of St. Ives. Mr. Parks, civil engineer, having been asked a few questions of an engineering character, was then asked as to the traffic in live stock in a certain district, but, Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM objected to the witness giving such evidence, inasmuch as he was an engineer, and, therefore, any in. formation be did possess upon the live stock traffic must of neces sity not be facts of his own knowledge, but have come through some other channel, and from parties who should themselves have been called to give such evidence. If this course were permitted to be persevered in, there was in fact no part of this case which this witness might not be called upon to prove ; and it was a waste of time and of money to be attempting to give evidence in this way. Mr. HtLDY►RD said he could, if the Committee required it, pro duce the drovers to give their evidence ; but he thought it would be a saving of time to give it in this way. The Committee then retired, and on their return The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that if the Counsel who produced the witness conceived this evidence im. portant to their case they could go on with it. Mr. WEBSTER then proceeded with his examination of the wit. ness, upon the vast and complicated traffic tables before him. He said the observed traffic to Smithfield would not, in fact, give the actual traffic at all in cattle ; he, there fore, employed persons to ascertain the amount of that traffic from other sources, such as the returns of Mr. Herbert and Mr. Thompson, professed traffic takers. It often happened that there were weeks during which no cattle came from some counties to Smithfield, and, therefore, the observed traffic could not be relied on, for it would be entirely fallacious. The tables contained no account of live stock brought short distances, but those only which came the whole distance from Lincolnshire, Nottingham, Cambridgeshire, and the other counties, to Smithfield. The table did not include calves, lambs, or swine, as no accurate information could be had in respect to the number of those animals that came from those counties. This witness was asked a:few questions in cross examination, but his testimony in no way differed from the examination in chief, and when it had concluded the Committee adjourned to Monday.

In this case, which was argued very fully on Saturday last, Mr. Watson, Q.C., appeared to show cause why the rule prayed for by the defendant should be made absolute. The great question in the case was a construction under the new Attorneys' Act. The declaration alleged work and labour done as an attorney, and the plea stated that no bill had been delivered before the commencement of the suit, as by the statute required. The replica tion set forth that a bill had been delivered without alleging " according to the statute." Mr. Watson wholly relied upon the fact that the bill had not been delivered according to the statute. Mr. Brookes, the attorney and plaintiff in the case, performed con. veyancing business for Mr. Bocket, a bill for which before the passing of the 6th and 7th Vie. was not taxable. He sent in his bill, but not signed, and the Act referred to, which the Learned Counsel contended was retrospective, declared it should be so. As the delivery of the bill, which took place a month before the Act was passed, was not good, it could not now be taxed. The Learned Counsel went on to argue for his view of the case, but the argu. ments were technical arid of no public interest. The COURT postponed judgment. ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A FRENCH LADY.- Yesterday a French lady was brought in a cab to Guy's Hospital, who, it was stated, had attempted to commit suicide, by throwing herself from the window of the third flour of a boarding-house at St. Mary-at-hill. Mr. Brown, of the Blue Anchor Tavern, St. Mary. at.hill, who accompanied the female to the hospital, stated that about ten o'clock on the previous night she arrived at his hotel in a cab, and, producing a card of his, said she had received it from a friend of his at Dublin, from which city she had just arrived by a steamer, and that she had no money, but was on her way to Bou. logne to her mother. She had friends in London, from whom she was to receive some money on the next day. Mr. Brown consented, upon such a representation, to accommodate her, and she was furnished with tea and a bed. Soon after she had retired to rest, Mr. Brown's attention was attracted by hearigg a most unaccountable noise proceeding from her bed-room. On going thither, to ascer tain the cause, he saw her sitting on the sill• of the window. As soon as she was aware of his presence she instantaneously leaped into the yard beneath, from a height of about forty feet. In her descent she alighted upon the skylight of a kitchen, which, being covered with a wire-guard, she rebounded Into the area. Being stunned with the fall, means were promptly taken to ascertain the injuries she had received, and she was ultimately taken to the above hospital, where Mr. Coulton, the house.surgeon, rendered her every assistance, and, most astonishing as it may appear, from a fall of such a height, the only injury she has snstained is a con tusion of the right knee. Notwithstanding her assertion that she had got no money about her, upon examining a reticule which she had in her hand when picked up, it was found that there was 8/, in gold and 225. in silver. The infatuated woman maintains a most profound silence as to the motive which has induced her to commit such a rash act. ISLE OF WIGHT RAILWAY.—A large and respecta ble meeting of parties opposed to the carrying out of this line took place at the Green Dragon Inn, Newport, on Wednesday. Sir 11. Simeon was called to the chair. On opening the business of the meeting a letter was put into his hands by Mr. Tootall, one of the promoters of the measure, which he read to the meeting. The meeting was then addressed by gentlemen from all parts of the island, particularly from Ryde, Yarmouth, Cowes, Newport, and Ventnor ; they all described the feelings of the inhabitants of those parts to be decidedly against the undertaking, and expressed their determination to oppose it. They considered it uncalled for and worse than useless, as they had no produce but lambs and lace to export, and little but coals to import; there was no thoroughfare; it was like a street without one end to it, people could ride up one side, and to get out must ride down the other ; for six months in the year there were not six persons in a clay passing between Cowes and Ventnor, and for three months not three. A requisition was signed to the Sheriff of the Isle of Wight to call a public meeting of the landowners and ratepayers of the island at Newport on Thursday next. ODD PHENOMENON.—A most curious phenomenon has for some months past been observed on the surface of the Wear, near to Framwellgate-bridge, in this city; we allude to the con stant rising from the bed of the river, both above and below the bridge, of a quantity of gas. Whence it comes seems to puzzle the most scientific men, and in the absence of information which might be relied on, rumour attributes it to openings from the workings of some old collieries, or from a subterranean passage which formerly connected Finchale Abbey with Durham Cathedral. Whatever may be the cause, it is quite certain that the gas which rises in bubbles through the water, notwithstanding the length of time it has continued to escape, rather increases than diminishes in quantity.—Durham Advertiser. LEGAL GARDENERS.—We ui.derstand that the benchers of Lincon's Inn will publish a gardening book in accord ance with the complete revolution they have lately efFected in the art of horticulture. They have been laying out new squares with trees, removed after forty years' growth, into a soil of stone, brick, and rubbish, thinly overlaid with mould to the depth of ten inches. lhe trees are said to be in full bearing ; and if they will bear such treatment as this, they will undoubtedly bear anything. The ol.eration of moving trees of forty years' standing has seldom been tried with success, but we understand that the benchers of Liu. coin's Inn have caused writs of certiorari to be duginall over the ' square, because a certiorari will removed a case— anwhy not a tree t—in nearly all ite branches..--punch.
