BRUSSELS, FEB. 14.—The City of Brussels has made ami cable arrangements with almost all the persons who had claims for indemnity on account of the losses they suffered from the riots in their city. One cause will have to be settled in the courts of justice; it is that of the claim of the Count de Bathune, who has not accepted the offer made to him. We learn, with great satisfaction, that the Government seems at length seriously to turn its attention to the ques tion of the cultivating of our waste lands, and we are assured that a Commission, composed of men well acquainted with such matters, will be ultimately appointed to inquire into, and to propose the best means to obtain the most satis factory results. M. belaveleye, who was engaged as civil engineer on the railway proposed by Mr. Taylor, has addressed a letter to to the Chamber of Representatives, announcing that, in con sequence of the strange facts which have just come to light, he desires to withdraw his name and participation from this undertaking. The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day (the 15th), adopted several articles of the 18th chapter of the Bud jet of the Department of the Interior. It seems that immense quantities of snow have fallen in the province of Luxemburg, and the frost is very severe. It is feared, from the appearance of the atmosphere, that there will be a further fall of snow. If there should be a sudden thaw, with rain, we may expect extraordinary inundations, which will do incalculable damage.—Brussels Papers, Feb. 16. CORN WALL and DEVON CENTRAL RAILWAY AND THE BOARD OF TRADE. In a paragraph in one of the papers of Saturday it is stated that this Company intends to resist the decision of the Board of Trade, and to apply to Parliament this session for the portion of their line between Falmouth and Bodmin. From the almost unanimous freling of the county of Cornwall in favour of the central line, as evi denced by the resolutions of the public meetings which have been published in this paper, and the support which it receives from Exeter and North and Central Devon, the scheme will no doubt receive the serious considera tion of Parliament. What motives can have influenced the Board of Trade in reporting against the central line and in favour of the coast line, we are at a loss to deter mine. The coast line increases the distance from Fal mouth to Exeter twenty miles; and, as we perceive by a comparative statement in the Faintoqh Packet of Satur day last, the curves and gradients upon that line are vastly inferior to those on the central. The central line is also intended to he a double locomotive line, whilst the coast line is proposed to be a single line. The coast line having a railway gradient of 1 in 60, and some miles of 1 in 50, and as high as 1 in 42, is totally unworkable by any other than atmospheric traction. This is well-known to all engineers, and candidly admitted by even the promoters of the scheme themselves. We were, therefore, led to regard the decision of the Board to report in favour of this scheme as a direct recognition of :he applicability of that principle to railroad propul sion, and of the estimation in which the theory of at mospheric traction is held, if not by the Goiernment, at least by the Railway Department of the Board of 'Trade. This fact must be borne in mind, that the proposed Cornwall Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth can only be worked by atmospheric means, or by some system in which fixed engines are employed. We apprehended, of course, that the decisions of the Board of Trade would be influenced by some uniform principle, and that when there ports should be laid before the House of Commons ou any given lines, the general features of that principle would be clearly traceable in all subsequent reports. With the knowledge that the Board had determined to report in favour of the Plymouth and Falmouth Rail way, it created some astonishment in our minds to read in the document presented to the House by the Railway Board, "On the Kentish and South-Eastern Railway schemes," being the first report yet presented to Par- liament from the Railway Department, the following statement relative to a line projected by the Croydon Company: — "The question is further narrowed by the exclusion of the line proposed by the Croydon Company, London, Chatham, and Chilham, No. 142, which, from the nature of its gradients, is incapable of sustaining a serious com petition with either of the other schemes, even if equal to them in other respects ; while, from its direction, it is manifestly no less inferior in point of local accommoda tion and national advantage. The gradients are more severe than have ever been proposed for a locomotive line ; 28 planes, extending over more than 15 miles of the first 30, being at an in clination of one in 50. "It may be proper to state, that the Croydon Com pany obtained, in the last session •of Parliament, an Act, under which they are proceeding to convert their existing locomotive line of railway from London to Croydon into an atmospheric line, in connesion with another Company, also sanctioned in the last session, and which continues the line on that principle, from Croydon to Epsom. In their subsequent projects, which are now under consideration, the Croydon Company equally adopt the atmospheric system of propulsion. If that system had already been applied successfully upon any long line of railway, the severity of the gradients in these projected lines would not have been considered so objectionable. It is clearly, however, impossible for us to assume the success of a system, as to which much dif ference of opinion exists among railway engineers, and which has not hitherto afforded such proof of its merits as could warrant us in giving the preference to pro jected undertakings, the success of which must depend upon results, as yet uncertain, while other projects are offered, to which no such uncertainty applies." We shall be curious, after this, to see the report on the competing Cornish lines. On reading the above we could almost imagine that much of this language was intended to be applied in condemnation of the coast line in Cornwall, " which, from the nature of its gradients, is incapable of sustaining a serious competition." " The gradients are more severe than have ever been proposed ,for a locomotive line." "It is clearly, however, impossible for us to assume the success of a system as to which much difference exists among railway engineers, and which has not hitherto afforded such pro , 7f of its merits as could war rant us in giving the preference to projected under takings, the success of which must depend upon result.q. as yet wale, tai's, while cther projects a-e offered, to which no suck unceitairty applie4," Werppeat, we shall be curious to see the report of the Board of Trade on Op Cornish lines. 4 IROM OVER-EXERTION.--Mr. Payne held gn inquest on 4r9n,day ? at tlaiiKino Arms, Free-school-street, Horsley down, on the body 0'1'144 HO, tigor4ent3 , ' ; f l l9 years, lately at No. 1, Queen's -place, Free-school-street, T4O 4e.e . 4sa the vestry-liall,.St. John's, Horsleydown, on Saiurday morning 14g, for the purpose of receiving a hundred weight of coals, which were ~„1, distributed among the poor inhabitants of the _parish.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible amongst the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971. ; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Policies. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,000/., the whole being in a course of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does.

PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. COMMITTEES ON PETITIONS FOR PRIVATE BILLS. On Monday the railway campaign co mmeneed with the sfit ting of the Sub-Committees on stand in g committed the preliminary proceedi n g s on railway prior to their examination by the Select Committees of the House. It may here be necessary to state that these Sub- Committees are appointed by the Select Committee on the standing orders, composed of the chairman of the Sub-Com mittees, Mr. Escott, and other Hon. Members. The railway Bills brought before the two Sub-Committees yesterday were fifteen, the number of Members on each Committee amount ing to eleven. Their attention was directed to the ascertaining whether the necessary Parliamentary notices of intended ap plications to Parliament had been inserted in the Gazettes during the months of October and November, in conformity with the standing orders; whether the necessary applica tions had been made to the owners, lessees, and occupiers, before the 31st December, the deposits with the clerks of the peace and Board of Trade and Private Bill-office of the plans, sections, and books of reference, made before the 30th November. Also the depositing, in the Private Bill-office of lists of the owners of estates, and of the deed of partnership and subscription contract. The inquiries of the Committees further extended to the service of notice upon landowners before 31st December, either by personal delivery, or leaving at their place of abode, or, in their absence abroad, with their accredited agents, in which latter case t h e production of a written acknowledgment was required. Sir William Heath cote, the Chairman of one of the Sub -Committees, thought that proof of the h an dwriting of the parties in the latter case was required, a point apparently not provided for by the standing orders of the House. The other requirements bad reference to depositing - the engineering plans with the Clerk of the Peace for public inspection, giving a description of the line, its works, and the lands through which it passed; of the usual subscription contract, furnishing an estimate of ex pence, and showing that subscriptions had been entered Into to the extent of three-fourths the amount of the estimate, and that one-twentienth p art of the amount subscribed had been duly deposited. From this outline of the duties de relying on the Committees and on the Companies, it will be seen that to the proceedings, although chiefly of a routine character, there attached considerable importance. Upon ordeal of the standing orders binges the passing through the the future progress of every railway measure. Inadvertence, or non-compliance with the strict letter of the provisions, ex poses a Company to the chance of being thrown over until a MVP §9a§ißn, lige:l4 fatal !q fitrtlier pregrees the mere circumstance or plans depoiiied" onifone 'hour after midnight on the 30th su Nov ember, th e m i s di rect i on or non service of a notice, being fficient to invalidate the claims of the best equipped schemes. ...This was proved yesterday in the case of the London and 'York Bite, th e !now into ', 1 ;6a4i4t4 ilomei*ttopliqP PetfeCt: eentlianee . wititi the standing Orders in wee cases onl y out ai tUrelv thou,.

When it is remenlbered that Were are illicit an average t(i ta lrfore parliament this scsalegla , representing a c apital of nearly 100;060,0007., one of the causes of this great fertility in new lines being the recent re , peal of the deposit on standing orders from 10 to 5 per cent., it will be seen that this extraordinary pressure of new pro jects portends an amount of labour hitherto unparalleled in railway legislation. Sub-Committee No. 1: Sir John Yarde Buller (Chairman), Mr. Bramston, Mr. Richaid Walker, Mr. 'George Philip, Mr. Bell, Mr. Gibson Craig, the O'Conor Don, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Eliot Yorke, Mr. Kemble. The Chairman, after the usual inquiries, announced that the standing orders had been complied with in the fol lowing cases, with the exception of the Wakefield, Pontefract; and Goole : , MANCHESTER AND LEEDS. —To raise further capital. Azents—Messrs. Dorrington, Hayward, and Ellicombe. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS.—Yor extending the Oldham and Heywood Branches, to join the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale Railway, in the township of Bury, reported in favour of by the Board of Trade. Agents—Messrs. Dorring ton, Hayward, and Ellicombe. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (METROPOLITAN EXTEN-__ stoN).—The object of this extension is to afford a central terminus to the South-Western, London-bridge, and other railways in the neighbourhood of Hungerford Suspension bridge. The agents were—Messrs. Dorrington, Hayward, and Ellicombe. ASIITON, STALYBRIDGE, AND LIVERPOOL JUNCTION (ARD WICK AND GUIDE BRIDGE BRANCHES).— Agents—Messrs. Dorrington, Hayward, and Ellicombe. LEEDS AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION.—The object of this application was to connect the towns of Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford, Dewsbury, and Halifax, with each other, and with the intervening districts, forming three points of junction with the Manchester and Leeds, and bringing the whole of the West Riding of Yorkshire into immediate communica tion with the ports of Liverpool and Hull. Length of line, 39 miles; capital, 1,200,0001. Reported in favour of by the Board of Trade. Agent—Mr. Hayward. WEST YORKSHIRE.—It appealed from the inquiries insti tuted:l -by the Committee, that this line proposes to connect Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Leeds, in junction with the Manchester and Leeds, Huddersfield and Dewsbury, and Bradford and Halifax Railways. Length, 44 miles ; capital, 1,000,0001. This is one of the lines reported against by the Board of Trade.—Agents, Messrs. Burke, Pritt, and Venables. LEEDS, DEWSBURY, AND MANCHESTER JUNCTION.—It appeared that this line commences at Leeds, in junction with the Leeds and Bradford line, passing through Dews bury towards Huddersfield, and terminating in junction with the Manchester and Leeds, half a mile west of Dewsbury station. Length, 10 miles. The agents were Messrs. Dor rington, Hayward, and Ellicombe. RICHMOND (SURREY).—Mr. Pratt, the agent, stated that this line commences at Richmond, and tfrminates on the Surrey side -of Hungerford Suspension-bridge, Lambeth, passing through Wandsworth, Putney, Barnes, and Mort lake. The length will be 10 miles; with a branch of one mile and three-quarters to Kew-bride. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE—Messrs. Wright and Smith were the agents. From their statements, it ap peared that the line was proposed to connect the port of Goole and the town of Pontefract with the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire. It was also intended, by a junction with the York line, near Snaith, to open arail way communication with all parts of the kingdom. The usual preliminary proceedings having been stated, a petition was presented from Mr. John George Smyth, complaining of non-compliance on the part of the Company with the stand ing orders. Lands and other property, it was contended, were not inserted in the book of reference, and that a bridge, the ownership of which was disputed, was not designated on the plan, according to the standing order No. 33. On this point a long discussion ensued, and, at its close, strangers were ordered to retire. On re-admission, the Chairman stated the opinion of the Committee, that in this case the standing orders had not been complied with. Sun-CommirreE No. 2.—Sir William Heathcote, Chair man ; Mr. Hope Johnstone, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, Mr. Packe, Mr. Acland, Mr. Evans, Mr. Home Drummond, Mr. Childers, Mr. Cornwall Legh, Mr. Evelyn Phillip Shirley ; CoMmittee clerk, Mr. Freere. YORK AND SCARBOROUGH DEVIATION.—Mr. Bulmer, agent; Mr. Richardson, 'solicitor ; Mr. Stephenson, engineer. The petition recited that the Bill for constructing this line had been granted last session, with the exception of that portion of it passing through Clifton. This was owing to the opposition which the Bill experienced from the inhabi tants, and from Lord Harewood, Capt. Fothergill, and Lord De Grey. The opposition of the former nobleman being with the view of effecting a deviation from his estates at Clifton. The promoters stated that a deviation had been decided on, which met with the concurrence of his Lordship and the other objectors. The circumstance of this particular part of the line not having obtained the sanction of Parliament in the last session has not impeded the construction of the works at either of the termini. The proposed deviatien would have the effect of bringing the line nearer than before both to York and Clifton. LEEDS AND BRADFORD.—Agents, Messrs. Burke and Venables; engineer, Mr. R. Stephenson. The object of the promoters is to run a branch line from Shipley to Colne, and a line from Keighly to Haworth. Several witnesses were examined, who proved that the standing orders had been complied with. ACANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM (ASHTON BRANCHES)." — This application was for making a line to connect the Man chester and Birmingham with the Sheffield and Ashton under-Lyne, near Guide Bridge. After the usual routine in quiries, the petition on standing orders passed the Committee. NORWICH AND BRANDON DENIATIONS.—This is one of the lines reported against by the Board of Trade, but the pro moters intimate notwithstanding their intention of prose cuting the Bill in Committee. The proposed deviations refer to the Diss and Dereham branches. __ LONDON AND YOWL—Agents, Messrs. Dyson, Hall, Parkes, and Coates ; engineer, Mr. Cubitt ; solicitors, Messrs. Burcheil, Killgour, and Co., and Mr. Rose. The petition, which was of considerable length, stated that the line pro poses to commence at Pentonville, passing from thence through Hitchin, Biggleswade, Bedford, St. Neots, Hunting don, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, Boston, Retford, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Wakefield, Leeds, Selby, Hull, terminating at York, embracing, with branches, 327 miles, and 270 parishes. The result of the inquiries in this case showed that the number of persons to whom it was necessary to make application between the let and 31st of December exceeded 12,000, and that they lived in all parts of the kingdom. It was proved in evidence that to all these persons application was made in the re quired time, with the exception of four, and these of a somewhat peculiar character. It appeared that the neces sary plans had been lodged in all the 270 parishes, but that in one instance a plan, though lodged in the right parish, designated it by an incorrect name, calling it Thornton-le- Fen instead of Thornton. The next exception related to the service of notice in a case where the "occupier" was de scribed as a "wandering" pedlar, one moment at Hull and another at Huntingdon, rendering " service" physically im possible. The other instance was where a person was stated to have lived at Derby, while in reality he resided at Dur ham. In the fourth case the service of notice was acciden tally omitted. With these exceptions the standing orders were proved to have been complied with ; the subscription contract showed that the deposits amounted to more than three-fourths of the estimated capital, being 250,000/., or five per cent. on 5,000,0001. sterling. The room was cleared, and the Committee, after a short conference, reported that, with the exceptions alluded to, the standing orders had been complied with. The Chairman stated that the case was creditably got up, and that he was sorry to send it to the Select Committee on the standing orders, before whom he thought they would experience no difficulty. The Com mittee then adjourned. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, FEE. 17,1845.
