11.1 E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 2 1815. nsequence of the pressure of business, they did us great injus tice. There were several interviews with the Board of Trade re specting a line in which the Great Western were interested. They applied to us to explain the objects of the Oxford and Rugby live, and to the Birmingham also. In October Mr. Lang sent to me, and said, that what he was about to say was not to be taken as a final decision. He then told me, on the authority of Lord Dal housie— Mr. HILDYARD put it to the Committee whether Mr. Lang ought not to be called The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Saunders did not throw any imputations on the Boatel of Trade. and he thought he might be ',omitted to go on. If any thing were given in evidence affecting Mr. Lang, he might be furnished with a copy of the „evidence and reply to it, if he wished. Mr. Saunders's evidence resumed—Mr. Lang told me with re ference to Oxford and Rugby, tie Board of Tiede considered, on public grounds, we ought to have it, as it was our interest to work it most efficiently, but Lord Dalhousie had asked it we would lay down both the eroad and narrow gauge. 1 asked the object of the question, if it was merely to remedy the inconvenience of the shifting of the goods. He said it was. I replied that the exi-ense would be too great, and that other means would be devised by Mr. Brunel, which were explained, and he was desired to ask Lord Dalhousie if he thought it would answer the purpose. He did so, and replied to me afterwards that they did consider it would answer the purpose, and from tl.at time until they reported against us, we heard nothing further from them as to the Oxford and Rugby line. By the CHAIRMAN—He said that it was not a final decision, be cause they would not come to a final decision until the 30th Novem.. brit. He said it was a provisional decision, and we heard not! ing further. When the decision of the Board of Trade came out Mr. Russell and myself had an interview with Lord Delhousie, and represented the matter to him. He said he could not undertake to recollect all that passed be tween them—that they would not alter the decision—that he was sorry if we had been injured, but they must abide by the result of ans icquiry. I did snot see Mr. Lang. We had no oppor tunity of bringing the merits of the broad and narrow gauge on this line before the Board of Trade. I made frequent communications on the subject of the broad and narrow gauge on the Worcester and Wolverhampton line. In the latter commu nications I became aware that they attached importance as to whether the change of guage should take place at Bir. min e lsam or Gloucester. 1 ascertained the Board of Trade considered it was a question whether the broad gauge should be carried to Birmingham or the narrow to Bristol, and I said that it would be quite as easy for the broad gauge to be carried to Birmingham. I explained to him the nature of the agreement between the Gloucester and the Great We-tern Company. I told him that, according to that agreement, it would be impossible to carry the narrow gauge to Bristol. After this negotiations took place, and the line was purchased by a nar row gauge company. I pointed out to Mr. Lang that the minerals of South Wales being brought by a broad gauge line to Stan.lish, it would be important to carry the broad gauge up to Birmingham. We are the possessors of the line from Standish to Gloucester.— The witness then pointed out upon the map the relative positions of the reepective broad gauge and narrow singe lines in connexion with the Gloucester Railways, and explained the rights a the respective eompanies to the working of the respective lines). He pointed out to the Board of Trade that it would be mere ad % antageons to take the broad guage line to Birmingham, then to bring the narrow guage down to Gloucester, and he thought so still. The Great Western had completed the Gloucester line, and they had bonnet down the Gloucester Company not to bring down another line of railway to their injury atter they had completed the line for them and given them the right of working it for ever. It would be for the public advantage that in the Wolverhampton district there should be a second line, which would enable the pubic to exercise their option as to the broad or narrow gauge. The Bir o ingham line could always have such advantages that, as long as it acted fairly, we could not compete with them. I believe the 1 on_ don and Bilmingliam Company to be as well conducted as any other, but I believe it is tor the benefit of the public, and of the companies too that there shou,d be something to keep them in chi ck. When i see the increase of traffic consequent upon the lowering of fares, I have modified my opinions greatly on the subject of competing lines. I think there is plenty of traffic for both. This is the first time we have ever come in collision with the London and Birmingham, but they have come in collision with us on the question of the Tring extension to Cheltenham. Where there is a fair traffic that is likely to be remunerative it is for the intere-ts of the public that lines of railways should be extenaed. (The wit ness stated front the population returns that the population on the Great Western prepost d line to Wolverhampton was 497,396, and by the London and Birmingham proposed line it was 406 3401. Between Oxford and Rugby by the Great Western the population was was 61,950, and by the London and Birming - ham, 82,613.) The miles of new railway, on the Great Western scheme, were 148 mile:. to make. The London and Birmingham could have to make 171 miles and s.Bths of new railway, the tiff terence being 23 miles and 5-Bths from of the Great Western. — (The witness then put in the traffic tables) We arc prepared, in case the Bill should pass, to con sent to a maximum rate for coal and other articles. The present maximum was lei. per mile, and he was authorised by the Directors to say, that they would admit as a maximum aid. per ton per mile, wherever it should he cartied more than fifty miles. The Company, .n consideration of gaining this line, were willing to accede to the terms proposed by the Board of Trade he terms we: e then read by Mr. Cockburn, but so rap;dly that it was impossible to catch the purport.; Cross •t. xamined by Mr. HILDVARD.-1 do not think it would be for the advantage of the Lord n and Birmingham that the broad ga up should be carried Irmo London to Birmingham. We are acting iu herinoey with the Gr. nd Junction. Ido not contemplate car rying the bread gauge further :wail than Wolverhampton, but it may be done. In conversation it has been suggested that the Grand Junction might think it advi. sable to carry the broad gauge, as well as the narrow gauge, on to Liverpool ; and it has been asked, if the Grand Junction Company were to propose such a scheme, whether the Great We-stern wound assist them. (The witness was then cross examined as to the lines proposed by the South- Western in the west of Eng.and, and punted out their position on the map ) The Board of erase recommended the Great Western projects in that ssinem, and rejected the South-Western. They aid not impose any conditions upon us for their decisions as they did in the Bir mingham lines. We got the whole of taose lines without any l conditions from the Board of 'Trade. W e also got a decision in favour of cur South Wales tine. There is no instance in which the Board of Trade has reported against us except with regard to the presentline. With respect to the Newberry hue, there were conflicting deci sions of Parliamentary Committees. Mr. Lang to'd Joe that it Was the opinion of Lord Dalhousie that we ought to have the Ox ford and Rugby line, if we would lay down the broad and narrow gauge. 1 tole him I had a plan which I thought would be more economical, and which woulu equally answer the put pose. I explained it to i im. He said he thought it would answer the purpose. I asked him to mention it to Lord Dalhousie ;he told me re had done so, and that Lord Dalhousie said he thought it would answer the purpose, and I n. ver had any communication on the subject. The plan which 1 proposed was, that we should be at the whole expense of shilling the goods at Rugby. When I saw Lord Dalhousie afterwards, he said he remembered the fact;; that he would not answer for what passed below ; that if we were misled. he was sorry for it; that he was not prepared to state that it would make any alteration in their decision; and that if we had been wronged we should have an opportunity of being righted elsewhere, and that they must abide by the consequences. I certainly have stated my doubts as to the propriety of working the broadgauge and miaow gauge together. If a narrow gauge line is to be carried from Standish to Bristol it will greatly incon. venicnce our South Ne ales traffic. If they were subject to the revision clause the Great Western Company would extend their works tea as to keep down their dividend at 10 per cent. The revision clause would be imperative. The increased expenditure would benefit the public, but not in the mode contemplated by the Act, be cause the public would not get the forced revision of the tolls. (Questions were then put relative to the accommodation afforded by the respective lines. To these questions, however, he was not prepared to return accurate answers, and 'the further cross-examin ation on the subject was deferred until Monday.) Re examined by Mr. CoceiroaN—From the commencement of the scheme in 1836, the extension of the line through North Wales always formed part of the plan. I am not aware of any cases in which the Board of Trade has:sought to impose conditions ; they have been invariably offered by the companies. Mr. Cocitatme—That is my case, Sir. The CHAIRMAN—You have examined 99 witnesses, it is a pity you have not called another to make it 100, Mr. COCKBURN—NV e can indulge you, Sir. The CHAIRMAN—Oh, by no means'. I have no desire for it. The Committee then aojoutned at six o'clock to twelve on Monday. GRO UP X. LONDON AND TOME LINE. The Committee assembled at twelve o'clock, and resumed The engineering evidence, by continuing the cross examination of Mr. Cubitt. Previous to his being asked a question, an applica. tion was made to that Committee to permit Mr. Cubitt's attendance in another Committee for a few minutes, to prove a report, which was granted. On his return, Mr. 'faunae' resumed his cross.exarnination—The 596,0001. was the estimate fur land an the main iine, for 186 miles, at 3,2001. per mile—that included the forty-nine acres for the King's-cross station. Cou.d not say that he aas aware of any line on which the land was had for that; at Hornsey, the line traversed ornamental property to sonic extent. Could not say whether that was the case with the London and Birmingham. At the commencement of the London and York lie at London se veral small streets would be inclosed, but no existing accesses would be , akeri away. The width of the Regent's Canal, where witness proposed to cross it, was about 100 feet. He proposed to a:_letlge that considerably, but would allow space for the passage of one boat, by an aqueduct. Had had an interview with the canal engineer oil the subject, but he did not say he was saestied. Here the model was praduced, and the witness showed where the alteration was proposed to be made. He proposed to abtielge the nharlage, which would be a matter for claim fix ce.rnpensation. Had heard that the canal company were eetitioners against the Bill. He proposed to pass under the canal without altering the 1, vet of the canal. If that should be found to be an insurmountable objection, the bridge should be widened, which would cost sonietlimg in addition. The estimate tor the cost of the proposed bridge was 7,0001. The level of I in 100 was in a tunnel, and in London clay. There would not be a constant drip from it. Was not aware that there was a drip at Primrose-hill tunnel, which was made of London clay. Would take care to remedy the detect by removing the water before he made the tunnel. London clay was rather a rough customer to dial with. The drip from it acted like soap on the rails. There are six tumiels between London and South Mirnms, a distance of fifteen miles, but they were very mom There were eight tunnels in the first twenty. these miles. The first six tunnels were all of London clay. The seventh and eighth tunnels are in chalk. The heaviest earthwork l as on the e i g hth m il e f om L on d on. Th e cu tting was ib ty Lo -fo rd ur feet (weir, and eight furlongs long. The difficulties would on clay incr ease d i n proport i on to t h e d e pth ; th e s l o pe be 3to 1. The deepest embankment in London clay was about a mile and a quarer—the depth of that was 36 feet eit con tained 368,585 cubic yards of embankment. This was five miles f rom King's-cross; it bad a slope o f 2t o 1 , w hi c h oug ht t o b e I sullicient t o secure work embankment, even in London clay. The total quantitie s of earth were, on th e ma i n li ne , 12,619 , 261 camic yards , and 1i)26‘51$ side cuttings in addition, making a total of 4 545,839 cubic yards;the total about spoil was 6,0e8,691 y ar d s, and the total embankment For the first 30 miles out of London there was not much ballast to be had. Might have to bring it 14 or 15 miles. Was allow ed 2s. 6d a yard for the ballast fur u e i l ii i e n a e t . ion ls fo g r u t i b te e sure that will be suffieieht. Had no wwhaotoelerficoofmnth gdon. Had put conveyance of material until he got t down 6,000!. per mile as the cost of the transitof untill raaterial for the whole of the line. From Huntingdon to Peterborough o the district was singularly devoid of water communication, lio rea n n b d that was the reason they wanted railways.—(Lau g ht er. ) don there was very little water communication. The i o r b r e i f li ce s u l h n e ti p n a down tor iron was 121 . les , per ton delivered. were to be the same as on the Dover line. The price was sleepers were per sleeper. They were laid d ow n ab o ut one yard apart. Had not put in his estimate the cost of maintenance. He would let that ques - ion stand over. 'the South-Eastern line was 66 miles long, Did not know that the line cost 29,000/. for maintenance for the first year. Five times th it would be a serious sum.—(Laughter.) There was no Low.on clay on the .ecuth-Eastein line; but there was cl y nearly as bad. Had made no estimate for temporary police during the progress of the works, that never came under his cognizance as an engineer ; but it formed a large item in the expenditure, no doubt ; on the first 60 miles from London had gra dients of from 1 in 260, to I in 200 on the main l in o. • e. The Crettamaat hoped the cross-examination in the beginning would be esinfined to one eounNel, for if the same was to be gon e through by each opposing cuurvel,i; would occ u py an interminable • length oftiine. Mr. 'remain said he cuuld net answer for his Learned Friends; but he hoped that course would not be followed. He then asked the wham for the gradient. co the branches, which were beaded in in a tabular form. The Learned Counsel then read an extract f. om a work on the importance of levels on railways, by which it was stated that a gradient of 1 in 200 would require double the propelling power to that on a level, and so on in proport on to the diminution of the gradients the diminution of propelling power. The witness said there was a good deal of truth in that. Mr. TALBOT-1 presume it is all truth, for it is from a report on the Dublin and Drogheda Railway,made in the year 1836, by W. Cubitt, Esq.—(Laughter.) Witness—There were very heavy gradients on the Manchester and Leeds line, such as 1 in 100 ; one in 200 was the steepest gradient on the London and York line, except at King',-cross. In consewence of the gradient on the London and York line, and the heavy description of traffic, much heavier engines would be required than those on many other lines. The total number of feet of rise on the line from London to York was 1,224 feet, and the fall 1438 feet. Witness proposed to cross the Witham Nasi gation twice, at Boston and Saxelby. Has not charged in his esti mate the sum to be paid for the purchase of the canal. A straight line from Lincoln to Boston was about 27 or 28 miles. Would save three or four miles by going in that way, but could not get that line. As to the line north of Lincoln, the Fordyke was crossed at Swan Pool, and again near Lincoln; the latter by a bridge, with a lift to let vessels up. That crossing was at an inclination of 1 in 100. The proposed bridge was 150 yards from the present bridge, which now obstructed the navigation. Has not included the purchase of the Fordyke navigation in his estimate. The distance of the station from the proposed briolge was about 200 yards; the width of Ihe litt:e drainage ditch where the line proposed to cross it was 130 feet. There was a swing.bridge at present close to where the proposed bridge was to be. Approaching this bridge there was a curve of 20 chains radius. There was a cutting near Gains. borough, extending to 153 miles. The cutting them extended to 554,000 cubic yards. The embankment over the Trent was 558,272 yards. The embankmer.ts between Lincoln and Don. caster, over twenty feet, were as follows : One of 19 feet, containing 84,000 yards. One of 24 feet, containing 66,450 yards. One of 25 feet, containing 81.718 yards. One of 28 feet, containing 219,833 yards. One of 20 feet, containing 48,000 yards. This was ai tar as 13,swtery. The further examination was stopped upon this point, the wit ness agreeing to hand in a table of the whole ol the cuttings and embankments along the line, over twenty feet. The counsel then went to another branch of the case. The witness in reply to the next question, said he could not tell the distance of the Archbishop of York's garden from the line. The line did cross one of the Archbishop's walks, eleven or twelve feet above it. Did nut think the limit of deviation entered the garden, but went within 450 yards of the house. To Mr. LEE—The witness proceeded to fill up the blank left by Mr. Talbot in the number and extent of the cuttings and em. bankments along the whole line, which were immense. The uni. form width was 33 feet, and the slope 2 to 1, and the cost of fenc ing 3201. per mile. The total cost of the railway between Lincoln and Doncaster the witness could not give at present, nor of that be tween Doncaster and York. The cost of the first 53 miles out of. London, exclusive of the station, including everything except the purchase of land, would be as follows :-8,065'., 6,7591., 28/., 9,825/., 9,2041., 511., 5.000/. Those make 38,0001. Then there were other sums of 19,3001., 7,0001., 9001., 26,0001., 4,2801., 53,7201., 2,500/., 1,800/., 2,7501., 1,7001., 1,6501., .1,0001., 1,9081., 600/., 2,7501., 1,7601., and 33,000/. The distance from London to Huntingdon would cost as follows: Fencing Earthworks 346,555 Tunnel Bridges, &c.

That the expense of the coal market, for the last year, amounted to 2,7611. Os. 9d., which includes the sum of 4721. 17s. 2d. for repairs, alterations, &c., at the coal market ; and considering that this item of expenditure would be very much reduced when the new coal n'arket was built, your Committee are of opinion that the annual expense of the coal market may be safely estimated at 2,5001. per an num, and the estimated income being 2,568/. per annum, your Committee are of opinion that the said duty of one penny per ton may cease for the purposes of the coal market at the end of the present year ; and we hare directed the Remembrancer to communicate the same to Sir G. Clerk, subject to the approba tion of the Court. That a Bill has been brought into the Hoe __ of Commons by Sir G. Clerk, fo r continuin g the C, d_ . Act 77 until the sth day of July. 1862 ; and your Commit. .ee are happy to state, without interference with the arrar ement made with the Corporation of L ondon u p on the enge -S from measure to weight, in the year 1831, and hi they trust may be con sidered as final. Mr. Hammon' stated t as, in al probability, Parliament nout delay to the repo r t, in order that the w sa o r u y id to ri a s ge e n Government might prevent the inconvenience which must en sue totrade, if the Bill should be procrastinated till next The report was then unanimously agreed to. It was also rcoewsiid,:eral earlier this session, it would be neces agreed to, that the ceal.market should be rebuilt. THE CHARITABLE TRUST BILL. Mr. DE JERSEY (Chairman of the Parliamentary Com - mittee) brought up the report upon the Charitable Trusts Bill, now in the House of Lords. It strongly objected to the appointment of Commissioners vested with such extraor dinary powers, to their secret jurisdiction, and to others 'which appeared to the Committee to be calculated to work serious mischief ; in the meantime, that it approved of the objects of the measure. It stated that the Committee, considering the Bill would effect the charities un der the control of the Corporation, directed the Remembran ces to procure an exemption of those charities from the oilers tion of the Bill ; but that officer not having succeeded, the Committee recommended that a petition should be forthwith prepared and presented to the House of Lords, praying for such exemption. Upon the motion that the Court should agree with the report — Mr. PewThrss said the Court ought to pause before they agreed to such a recommendation. There were clauses in the Bill to which he objected open public principle. He thought it most oppressive that all the expenses should fall upon the small charities; and it should be a point with the Corporation which, it was well known, would have a rigorous investigation—better than any other—to do all they could to effect the introduction of such clauses as were calculated to do most good to the community.—( Hear, hear.) He strongly condemned any application to Parliament in an invidious form, and that it would be much more advisable to petition against the Bill altogether. Mr. R. L. JONES was of opinion that it would be in judicious to oppose the Bill. The Corporation of London had no small charities under their administration, but there existed not the slightest doubt of the mal-administration of small charities, and it would be letter that they should be swallowed up by the expenses altogether, than that such desperate abuses as were known to exist should be perpetrated.—( Hear, hear.) The principle upon which the Corporation of London desired exemption was, that they did not come under the denomination of those which called aloud for correction.—(Hear.) Mr. W. JONES reprobated the idea of comprehending all charities in the operation of a Bill because some were abused. He hoped that all public Companies would oppose the degrada tion of being placed under the Charitable Trusts Bill, which proceeded from those who appeared to be determined to sweep in everything in order to make places and pensions for their friends.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. PRENDERGAST could net see why the Corporation of London, whose accounts were always admitted to be most cor rect, should wish to be exempted from the operation of the Bill. They should rather be proud to be included. Accounts ought always to be published, as all in that Court well knew. Deputy CORNEY considered the Bill to be a rank job, patro nised by the Government of the day, to get patronage; but people did not know now-a-days how things were at West minster. They were, indeed, strangely altered.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Corporation ought to oppose the measure as one fraught with evil to the poor.—( Hear, hear, and No, no.) WhY, after that, what gentleman would leave any money to a charity ? All the hospitals would be left to fight the battle for themselves.—( Hear.) Deputy STEVENS said that if the trustee; of charities could not be prevailed upon to give in ace' trusted they would be exposed and c ,stints of their trust, he .enpelled. Mr. TOWZE objected to the - ,,rinciple of the Bill. Mr. ASHURST approved, of the object of the Bill, but op posed the mode of wor'„ ing and the provisions. Mr. WIRE denosA ce d, in an able speech, the various parts of the Bill to w %itch several of the members who had preceded him had obji:cted, and moved an amendment, to the effect that the Cow", ihouid petition against the measure altogether. !tl`'..erman SIDNEY, who suggested the amendment, said that enough bad been stated to convince him that the Bill was a moat dangerous one, interfering with the Corporation and with the right of all charitable institutions.—( Hear, hear. ) The amendment was eventually carried.

The preamble and the whole of the clauses (with one exception) were passed at the previous sittings of the Committee, the only cause of delay wising from a dispute pending between the Railway and the Canal Conu.anies, relative to a demand for compensation by the latter body An arrangement having been entered into by the two parties, sa tisfwtory to both, the Bill received the sanction of the Committee.

This line is 31 miles and 75 chains in length, and Mr. Stephen. son, the engineer, stated that the estimated cost was 350,000/ The country was tolerably level, and the construction of the line presented no difficulties, there being no tunnelling, &c. The gra. dients were very good. One or two witnesses were examined, to prove the necessity for the line in the neighbourhood through which it would pass. No opposition was offered to either of the above projects, and, consequently, the duties of the Committee were merely formal. The Committee lose before four o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

Wednesday a Court was held for the dispatch of a great deal of public business. THE LORD MAYOR AND CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. The following resolutions of a Court held in Christ's Hos pital on Tuesday, the 2(!th May, were handed into the Court mad read by the clerk. They relate to the visit of her Ma- jesty to the In,titution : "Resolved,—That this Court having received official notice of the re.olutions of the Court of Aldermen of the 11th March . . last, and of the Court of Common Council of the 3d of Apri la , t, consider themselves called upon to record the non-admix. sion of the claims made by such resolutions. " That this Court do not recognise the Lord Mayor as head of this Hospital. That they do not admit that his Lordship is entitled to preside here whenever he shall so think fit, or that the precedence taken by the President and Treasurer on the occuion referred to in the said resolutions was an invasion _ _ of any right or privilege of the Lord Mayor. " That this Court is anxious, on all occasions, to pay due re spect to the Chief Magistrate of the City of London, and they recognise as an act in full accordance with this feeling the marked distinction made in favour of the Lord Mayor, on the ocea-ion of the late visit of her Must Gracious Majesty to this Hospital, in inviting his Lordship to introduce more visitors into the Hall than either the President, Treasurer, or other Governor was authorised to bring—a distinction - .Lot of right, but purely gratuitous and complimentary.—( A: Laug h.) " That this Court is fully satisfied that the welfare and efficient management of this Hospital, and the preservation of peace and good-till depend on a strict adherence to the pro visions of the Act. of Parliament of 22d G eorge 111., c. 77, and the agreement thereby confirmed, and under this conviction this Court is desirous of recording:, on the present occasion their express denial of any right or authority whatever in the Cor. poration of the City of London, or in any branch of that Cor poration, whether the Lard Mayor, or the Court of Aldermen, or the Court of Common Council, to interfere in the govern ment of this Hospital to any farther extent, or in any other measure than is pre. , ided or recognised by that Act and agree ment. " That this Court regrets, that an event so auspicious as the gracious appearance, for the first time since the foundation of this Hospital, of the Sovereign of the Kin ; zdom within its walls, should have been made the occasion of an attempt to revive disputes, considered to be happily terminated more than sixty years ago by Legislative authority. That as the Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council have severally thought proper to cause official notice to be given to the Hospital of the resolutions passed by them, it is ordered, that official notice be given to the Court of Alder men and the Court of Common Council, of the resolutions now come to by this Court, with reference to the same. " GEORGE TROLLOPE, Clerk " Mr. LOTT immediately rose as Chairman of the Royal Hos pitals Committee, to move that the resolutions which so com pletely threw down the gauntlet of defence to the Corporation, should be sent 'to the Committee to be examined and reported npon.—( He-,r, hear. ) He looked upon the proceedings of the body from which they had issued as a most unwarrantable re sistance to the rights and privileges of the Corporation, as parties to the endowment of the Institution, and he trusted that the Court would see the propriety of adopting his motion, in order that the most searching inquiry might be made, and the ques tion of the elaims which had been thus repudiated might be perfectly determined.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Wine, in seconding the motion, described the conduct Teed Fttens u o s f ur t p h a o t s i e o a vv , h hado aad h a e d o e ; e d d t t h h a e t resolutions a s a s 13 iarn_et would be brought before the Court to be decided upon.- --(Hear. ) Alderman H. HUGHES deprecated any o :iscussion until the resolutions should he reported upon, a• - .,d observed that he ap prehended a great deal might be said upon both sides. Sir PETER LAURIE wished to know whether Mr. Lott meant to include all the royal t.ospitals in his motion? Mr. Lorr said he intende''.., his motion to be a comprehensive one, and to includ e the royal hospital of which Sir Peter Laurie was the President, as well as the others.—( A laugh.) Sir PETER LAURI-A-Why? Mr. TiLsosr—le, order to mark the contrast. At Bride well and Bfehlem Hospitals the right of the Lord Mayor i s never questione?.....4 Hear, hear.) Mr. WIRE rApiessed a wish that on so important a subject there should 're a conference between the two Courts. Mr. J. TAXON rose to deny that the Governors of Christ's Hospital (,ntertained a thought of casting a slight upon the Corpora'.ion of London by agreeing to the resolutions, which were only meant to convey an adequate ex p ress i on o f t h e i r opinion of the strength of their own claims.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared, from the records of the Institution, that down to the year 1556 no Lord Mayor had ever appeared amongst them ; that 1080 meetings of the Governors had taken place, at not one of which there was no instance oft he presence of a Lord Mayor ; and that in fact upon no occasion had a Lord Mayor at all presided, except when the President. was prevented from taking his chair by illness, and then the thanks t f the Court were voted to his Lordship, a ceremony never adopted towards the established chairman. Alderman and Sheriff Stntiwy declared the question was one of very serious importance as connected with the privileges of the citizens of London. If the Governors disputed the privi leges of the Corporation on the point in question, they might follow up their denial of the claim of the chief magistrate to precedence in other matters, and deny the right of presentation amongst the rest.—(Hear, hear, and cries of No, no.) He could not see the fo ice of Mr. Dixon's line of argument, for the negligence of some Lord Mayors did not command the inference that - Al were excluded from the privilege to which they were by virtue of their station entitled, and that a period was put the existence of their chartered rights.—( Hear, hear.) It was true that a dispute had arisen in 1778 on the questie,n, but the Act which subsequently passed did not affect the e;taim of the Lord Mayor to take the chair when such was his pleasure. In the records of Betblem and Bridewell Hospi t.,ls the claim was duly recognised, and the Corporation were bound in every other instance to assist and maintain their an thority.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. LOTT said that he should be able to prove before the Committee, by the authority of an ancient ordinance attached to an Act of Parliament, that the President was the head of the Hospital next to the lord Mayor.—(Hear, hear.) He could cite other authorities in confirmation of the precedence of the Lord Mayor, and he trusted he could satisfactorily prove that Christ's Hospital, while it was endowed by the Cor roration of London, got into the hands of a body of almoners, from whom it ought, as soon as possible, to be recovered. The motion of Mr. Lott, as far as regarded Christ's Hospital, was then agreed to. RENEWAL OF THE COAL ACT. Mr. HARRISON (the Ct.airman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee) brought up a voluminous report, of which the following is an abstract. The report, after stating the reasons for the postponement of the question last occasioned by the pressure of Parliamentary busi ness, proceeds—" On the Ist of May the Select Committee held a conference with Sir George Clerk, at which were present Sir George Clerk, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and J.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. On Thursday Thomas Cox, a dock labourer. living in Whitecross-street, was brought before Mr. Al lerman Challis, charged with assaulting his son, George Cox, with a poker. Hannah Cox, the wife, a decant-looking woman, said she was frequently beaten by her husband. He was in the habit of spending what he earned, and this led to strife at home. She did not wish to tunish him for the assault upon herself, but she rather came to give evidi nei for her son, who rise married and living separate fr.im them. Her husband had beaten her, and she was lying on the bed on Miinday when her son came up. He saw what had happened, and said it was no man that would beat a woman. Her husband started up, and ordered him to leave the room. The son replied he had called to see his mother, and he should not go. Her husband took up the poker, and struck him with it. It was feared her son was seriously injured, and the father was taken into custody by the police. George Cox, whose arm was in a sling, sated that upon calling to see his mother he heard: below stairs that his father had been beating her dreadfully. Ile went up stairs, and found her lying on the bed with her hair hanging loose about. He asked her what was the matter ? She replied, " Nothing ;" but his father said he would not put up with her abuse. Witness told him he did not behave like a man to her. His father seized the poker, ard ordered him to leave the room. This he refused to do, and his father struck at his head with the poker. Witness warded the blow off with his arm. He was obliged to go to the doctor, who said his arm was not broken, but the bone was severely injured. Mr. Alderman CHALLts told the prisoner this appeared to be an aggravated assault, and he should be glad to hear anything he could offer in excuse. The prisoner replied, when a son liftedhis arm against his father, what would not a man do ? He admitted he struck at the wainscoat in a moment of irritation. He had a most abusive wife, who gave him " tongue-pie" for supper, and tongue again at bretkfast. Ilis case would maw sympathy from evi.ry gentleman in Court if he-could tell it. His sin told him in his own place that. he had been " at his tricks again, and he would not have it." Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said, however much his wife might abuse him, it would not justify ;he resort to blows; and if he did not learn to control his temper, he would conimit murder some day and be hanged. Ile had nearly committed that crime even now upon his own sen. He should commit him to the sessions, as the magistrates there could punish him more severely than magistrates sitting out of sessions. He ordered def.aulant to find bail, nitnself in 201., and two sureties in 101. each. The prisoner was committed in default of sureties. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On the police-sheet on Thursday was a charge against Mr. T. Rickardson, a tailor, No. 119, Jermyn-street, for violently assaulting George Barry, a person of no occu pation, at No. 7, Carlisle-street, Leicester - square." When the charge was called on, the defendant came forward, hut the complainant did not make his appear ance. The defendant, as a matter of course, was dis charged. He then begged to make a statement to the Bench, as he was very seriously injured, and wished to have a warrant against the person who had attacked him. The applicant, whose face was much bruised and his head badly cut, was desired to enter the witness-box to make his application to the Court.' He said, on his return from Epsom the previous day, he stopped at the Cock at Merton. There he met with a lady, with whom he entered into conversation, and ulti mately received a card, having the name and address on it of " Mrs. James, No. 7, Carlisle-street," with an invi tation to call on the lady. When he reached town, he paid a visit to Carlisle.street, about twelve o'clock at night. Having again met with the lady, he gage a person a sovereign to get a bottle of Champaigne. He fell asleep In the room, hut was suddenly awakened by the noise made by a man who was running about the room with a poker in his hand, and asserting that he (applicant) had made himself improperly familiar with his cite. The lady, who was in the room, denied that this man was her husband. The man declared he was, and applicant, in order to extricate himself from his unpleasant situation, said he would leave the house if his sovereign were re turned. The man would not be pacified, and applicant was proceeding down stairs, when finding himself con fronted by the man who still brandished the poker, he was in self•defence obliged to knock him down. A ser vant girl supplied the man with a brass candlestick, and the man immediately used this as a weapon of offence and applicant was beaten on the face, cut on the head, and eventually thrust into a room, the door of which was locked on him. The noise made in his efforts to pro cure his liberation ultimately led to the appearance of a police-constable, into whose custody he was given by the man who bad assaulted him. Applicant was conveyed to the station-house, and the charge, as above, entered on the police-sheet. Applicant, however, was liberated from the station-house on bail, between three and four o'clock the same morning. Mr. HARDWICK ' directed that a summons against the party complained of should be granted. MA Il Y LEB ONE. _ _ Thursday, a very well dressed man, named Richani Johnson, was brought up at the instance of Mr. Barker, Superintendent of the London and Birmingham Rail. way Company's police, and placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having wilfully broken a pane ol glass, and done other damage to a carriage, to the amount of 30s. • Bartholomew, one of the guards in the employ of the Company, deposed that on the same evening the de fendant was in a first-class carriage, having taken his seat at Rugby. On his way to London he several times knocked at the window with his fists, and shouting loudly to witness, said that he was bring taken in a wrong di rection, alleging at the same time that he was on the Brighton-road, which was a most shameful imposition attempted to be practised upon him. Defendant--You can't tell anything about what may have happened, you were fast asleep yourself for nearly fifty miles. Mr. LONG (to witness)— Did the defendant appear to be in liquor? Witness--He seemed to be more mad than drunk, your worship; and every now and then, on his way from Tying, he kept hallooing and calling out at the top of his voice. Defendant—lt's all false ; this man will swear any thing. Fusford, another guard, said, that on the arrival of the train at Camden station, he found the window broken and one of the window-curtains torn down; the de fendant refused to give up his ticket, and altogether be haved very strangely; he was then given into custody. Mr. LONG (to defendant)--What have you to say to this ? Defendant—lt's all true about my pulling down the curtain, but I never broke the glass. Mr. LoNe—Have you any witness to call? Defendant —No; certainly not. Mr. LONG—You will pay 30s. for the damage you 'have done. Defendant (to the witnesses)—How much do you re icure for telling lies ? Let me know the amount you want for coming here and I'll settle with you for your services, and pay the penalty at the same time. Defendant here pulled out his purse, from which he drew a 101. note, and handed it to Franklin, the usher, mato in a few minutes brought him the required change. Defendant (to Mr. Fell, the chief clerk)—Now, Sir, will you be so good as to let me have a receipt ? In my part of the country we always do things in a straight forward regular sort of manner, and we like to have some kind of acknowledgment for what we pay. Mr: Fell—We can give you no receipt , Sir ; it is not usual to do anything of the sort. The amount which you have paid is a matter of record in the books of the I Court. Defendant—That's all very well, as far as it goes; but I think I am entitled to a receipt. Defendant was again told that his request would not be complied with ; and as he was leaving the Court he said, "I hope that the fellows who have sworn so falsely against me will have their necks broken t he first time they go down by the train again."

THE FIRE 111, RAUGETTS HOTEL. FINDING OF THE BODY OF MRS. ROUND. On Friday morning, so early as five, workmen employed in the service of the Directors of the Globe InsuraNce-office, were set to work upon the ruins of Raggett's Hotel, in Dover-street, the arena of the recent conflagration and loss of life, so that the necessary preparations might be made for fully protecting the firemen while they explored the several apartments. By six o'clock the shoring was finished r the walls, however, especially the interior ohe, appearing much out of the perpendicular, and, consequently, very dangerous. At that hour, despite the im pending and fearful appearance of the whole building, ten men in the service of the London Fire Establishment began to turn over the rubbish on the ground floor in the back room, and in the rooms immediately contiguous to the stair-head, just over the hall-ceiling. About eleven o'clock Mr. Loiter, the print .pal engineer of the western section of the brigade, received information from one of the men engaged on the upper floor that he had found a body. Mr. Fogo, the foreman, being informed of the fact, the circumstance was kept exceedingly quiet, and only those informed of it who were immediately concerned in the discovery. The Earl of Huntingdon was upon the spot at the time, and epon viewing the remains his Lordship appeared to feel the deepest emotion There is no doubt, we understand, as to the identity, though the remains are deplorably mutilated. It scarcely admits of a doubt, from the position in which the body lay, that the ill-fated , lady, immediately after having been seen by the waiter, Robinson, on the first-floor landing, when the alarm was given, was over powered by fright, smoke, and dame, and that as the flames progressed with such terrific rapidity that escape was hope less, she sank down on the floor, and thus perished. As soon as possible after the finding of the body, information' of the fact was communicated to the family and the official persons connected with the offices of insurance. A shell was speedily procured, and the remains deposited therein and conveyed to the workhouse of St. George, Mount street, Grosvenor-square. RESUMED INQUEST. The inquest upon the bodies of the sufferers, namely, MV,. Round. aged 56 ; Mr. Raggett, aged 6 2 ; Miss Raggett , aged tfi' ; Mrs. Jones, aged 28, and Mrs. Barnes, aged 40, was on Friday afternoon resumed before Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for West_ minster, at the Rising Sun, Charles.street, Grosvenor-square, when the fo:lowing evidence was adduced : Mr. Henry Davies, surgeon, of Brook-street, Manchester-square, said that he attended Mrs. Round in his professional capacity. He had seen the body which had been found that day, but he was unable to identify it. His opinion, however, was, that it was not the body of Mrs. Round. He was led to that conclusion from the fact of the features being larger than those of Mrs. Round. lb understood that a gentleman was present who would produce a' portion of the jaw-bone of the body found that day, the formation of which clearly expressed that the body was not Mrs. Round's, but" in all probability it was that of Mrs. Barnes, the servant. Mr. Smith, a surgeon, produced the portion of the jaw-bone al luded to, from an inspection of which it certainly appeared that the deceased had very large and prominent teeth, which was not the ease with Mrs. Round. Bet j min Rich, a servant to Mr. King, a merchant of B. isto4 was next examined. He said, I was in Raggett's Hotel on Monday. night last, and went to bed about half past eleven o'clock. I came with my master on Friday afternoon. I was awoke by hearing an alarm of fire, between twelve and one o'clock, when I looked nut of window. I saw six or nine persons in the street at the time, who were shouting fire. I went to my bed-room door, but as soon as I opened it, I found smoke and flames coming up stairs, and then went back to the window and got er.t of it. I hung for some time by the window frames and sill. I then dropped down into the balcony, and escaped nom thence into the street. I held on the windows as long as possible. I did not let go my hold until my hands were badly burned. I saw Miss Raggett and Miss Round, and another party, at the next window, whilst I was hanging at the sill. Miss Raggelt said—" Oh, for God's sake, Rich, save us, oc we shall be all burned to death." I saw Miss Raggett attempt to get upon the escape ; in attempting to put her foot upon the same she slipped, and fell down into the street. A Juror—How low was Miss Daggett waiting for the fire-escape? Witness—Four or five minutes. The escape was not placed exactly opposite the window, but in the middle of the two. Another Juror—How long was it before the fire escape arrived ? Witness —Twenty minutes. Frederick Wm. Raggelt re-examined—My opinion is, that the body found to• day was that of Mrs. Barnes, one of our servants. The body was found in the ruins, near to where my father was sleeping. My impression therefore is, that she went into his room to arouse him, and that, being overpowered with the smoke, site fell down. The floor having given way will account for the body being found in the position it was. Mrs. Round, I should say, was about 5 feet 8 inches, and more corpulent, but not so largo boned as Mrs. Barnes. A Juror—What was the width between the two windows on the second floor Witness—About four feet. Henry Haggett examined-4 am a clerk in the service of Mr. Smitzwick, a civil engineer. On the night of Monday last I was sitting up with my brother, who was waiting for the return of parties from the French play. About half-past twelve o'clock I ac companied my brother to Mrs. Round's apartments, on the second fioor On my descending, and reaching the first-floor, I heard some one cry out, " fire." I then saw flames issuing from the bed-room on the first-floor. I afterwards went with my brother to fetch my mother, who was confined to her bed with a Woken leg. Hair. ing brought my mother down, I waited in the street for nearly 20 minutes, when the fire-escape et last arrived. I saw a man as. cend two or three steps and then come back again. I ascended the ladder myself, and while going up I saw a female fall into the street. I then got up, and succeeded in saving Miss Round and her maidservant. Ido not think it was possible for them to have reached the machine without assistance, inasmuch as I was obliged to reach out in order to get them into the escape. If a man had been with the escape, it would have been his duty to have ascended the same before I could have got up. The man whom I saw go a few steps up the machine and then descend again did not appear to me to belong to it; he was dressed in a plain coat. If there had been some of the ladders which are generally placed against the church walls, and they had been placed first to the balcony, and thence to the roof, 1 think the inmates might have been saved. I attribute the death of my sister entirely to the escape not having been placed near enough to her. Charles Robinson was next examined—l urn a waiter tok the hotel termed Raggett's in Dover-street, On the night of" Itioiillay last I was in the house when the cry of fire was raised. I went pnd informed Colonel Bouverie and other parties. 1 met Mrs. Round on the landing of the staircase, and told her to come down, expecting that she would. I went to arouse the other parties in the house. On my running up_stairs I met the Earl of Hun tingdon, who requested me to save Lord Hastings, his infant son. The flames were so strong that I could not get through them, and I then went to arouse the porter. A man who went far ladders at the Gloucester.mews was refused, and told that he must get his horses out first. Mr. Joseph Wm. Welborn, of 38, Albemarle-street, was next examined—He said, on Tuesday morning, about 20 minutes be fore one, I was passing along Dover.strcet, when my attention was arrested by hearing the breaking of glass. On looking round I saw that tire glass fell from the first window on the first floor nearest the southern portico. There were three ladies at the same window, and the room appeared full of smoke. One of the ladies attempted to get out, but was prevented by the others. At that time a policeman came up and sprung his rattle. Almost simultaneously a. cabman came along, and I persuaded him to drive to the St. James's station for the escape. He appeared not to know where the station was, and I got up on the box, and the man drove as fast as he could to the station. On arriving there I found a man' in charge of the machine, and also a policeman. One of Them said the machine was locked. I spoke very severely to him, and told him to give me the keys. I told him that the loss of life would be dreadful if any more time were lost. He appeared to be quite unconscious of what he was about. On my going near the box he threatened to knock me down. The police man said it was no good minding what he had said, as he was drunk. At last we got the escape away, but on my going to assist he tried to lush me away. Upwards of four minutes elapsed, owing to the conduct of the man at the machine, before the escape was got down. I should say that not more than a quarter of an hour was lost before the arrival of the machine. The young woman (Raggett) got out of one of the windows, and placing her hand nn the parapet, she appeared as if she was going to lower herself down, but suddenly she sprang forward, but missed the machine and fell into the street. The Chairman of the St. James's Fire.escape Society said, after what had fallen from the last witness, the man who had charge of the escape on the night in question would be discharged imme diately. Mr. Sampson Low, of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, said that on the night in question a messenger ar rived at the Society's station, in South Molton-street, and told the conductor to bring the escape to Dover-street. On arriving at Berkeley.square he was met by a man who told him to take the escape down the mews, adding that there was one already at the front. The conductor did as he was requested, and it was not until after it was tao late to render any assistance that the mistake was found out. A meeting will be held at Willis's Rooms next week, in order that the matter might be further investigated. Mr. Braidwood, superintendent of the Brigade, said that emit engine always carried two lengths of scaling-ladders, each six and a half feet in length. They were so constructed as to form au escape of great length by being connected together. Mr. Superintendent Beresford, in answer to a question from a Juror, said that the instructions of the police were to call the engines, turncocks, and fire-escapes, but the first object was to do all they can to save life. This being the whole of the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," in each case, adding, " they request that the Coroner will write to gir James Graham, her Majesty's Secre tary of State for the Home Department, for the purpose of calling attention to the evidence given at this inquest, in order that the Government may take some means of preventing, in future, such an awful saerifice of human life." 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
