He regretted that while the measure had been brought forward the great evil of the exclusiveness of the Dub lin University should still exist. Mr. SHAW rose amid loud cries of "Divide, divide." He did not eniirely approve of the measure, but he had not heard one propose a better for it, and he had not a better to propose hinder. He thought, therefore, that he was not justi fied in refusing to give his assent to a measure brought forward under the auspices of the Government.—( Hear, hear.) Sir V. BLAKE would vote for the second reading, although he was not satisfied with the Bill in its present form. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it 46 Majority for the Second Reading —265 POOR-LAW—SCOTLAND.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. 7tiorning .. 36 minutes after 0 I Evening •• 0 minutes after 1. much room that might be far more profitably devoted to the little minikin tenements of modern times, so many of which could be erected on tb e ground-plot now occu pied by a single one of these substantial fabrics. In point of fact, in the rear of the house which was de stroyed—a building, in many respects, of the character we have described—various very inferior tenements, of which the frontage was in Lime-street, had been bricked out by a substantial, unbroken back wall, rising much above those tenements, and shutting out all in gress and egress to the houses that have been gutted by the fire, except from Fenchurch-street, in which was their own frontage. Can any situation be imagined more hopeless as to the chances it would offer for the escape of the unfortunate inmates suddenly aroused by the alarm of fire? The results in this in stance were just what might have been anticipated from such conditions. A wife, having with great difficulty aroused her husband to an indistinct sense of their com mon danger, and persisting with a noble resolution to devote the precious moments available for that purpose to recover him from the sort of stupor which the heat and smoke of burning timbers so fatally induces, succeeds in this generous object. But, in the confusion of the scene, she becomes incapable of availing herself of the same means for securing a retreat which she had indicated to her husband, and either mistakes the stair ascending to the roof through which he had already passed, or falls, overcome by the fury of the conflagration, before she can reach it. Horrible to relate, herself and her young infant were consumed to ashes! The almost lifeless female, whom the husband had seized up from her prostrate position on the leads, or roof, and borne through many dangers to a place of safety, under the impression that he car ried with him, his wife, turned out to be their servant, who had fainted, and, but for his timely assistance, must also have been consumed. The house of these un fortunate people consists of several stories, with large and capacious windows in each floor. A fire-escape might have been most readily applied to either, and had it been to the second or third floor win dows, there can be little doubt—there is every human probability—that she might have been saved, together with the infant, whose existence has been thus violently terminated in its first blossoming. But no fire-escape appears to have been brought—to have been at hand—to have been even thought of ! For aught that appears to the contrary, it may be inferred that no such machine exists in that most populous neigh bourhood. At little more than an hour after midnight three houses are consumed in an incessantly frequented thoroughfare ; little or no property is rescued from them, and two human beings are permitted to fall a sa crifice to the same unaccountable apathy, or neglect, about the better provision and security against such visi tations, which, only a week before, had involved five others in the same terrible form of destruction in an opposite quarter of the metropolis. At what point of cumulative extermination our authorities mean to interfere what may be the maximum number of "deaths from fire" which they will regard as sufficient warranty for in curring the expense of providing and depositing, at so many convenient stations in each of the City wards, an escape apparatus, costing so many shil lings each—it seems difficult to surmise. The still more appalling casualties by fire which, since the conflagra tion in Bucklersbury, a few years ago, have given a cha racter of fearful interest to fires breaking out in the City, have hitherto produced so little disturbing influence in the indolence of the magistracy and the subordinate functionaries, in the establishment of any arrangements in system to mitigate the most disastrous evils attendant on these catastrophes, that we can hardly venture to anticipate any more beneficial result from the lesson which this last sad incident should teach them. What are they about ? Is the constitution of the municipality of London so exquisitely selfish in its principles, that until some Alderman or Deputy-Sheriff —some Common Councilman, or some member of the Bridge-House Committee, at least, becomes himself a sufferer in his own person, or the persons of his connexions, by these midnight fires, the private residents, tradesmen, and others—whether of the Livery, or unadmitted to its freedom—must not venture to hope that their lives or their property may be deemed of sufficient importance to be the legitimate objects of civic protection and soli citude ? The accounts from Madrid, which are to the 26th of May, are of a very singular and alarming character. No sooner had the QUEEN left Madrid than NAavAEz committed an act of despotism which would scarcely have been endured had he been entrusted by the Cortes with the full powers of absolute Dictator. The two editors of the Clamor Publico, Senors CORRADI and CALvo, arrested for a humorous article directed against this military chief, were within twenty-four hours after ward forced into a coach at the prison door, and carried off, without trial or even indictment or accusation to Cadiz, to be there shipped for Manilla. If the Spaniards submit to this, liberty is utterly extinct in that de- voted country, the constitution a mockery, and any safeguards of rights and privileges a mere delusion. A meeting ,of the editors of different papers was to take place at the office of the Tiempo, but should they speak their sentiments, they will propably be marched off as companions to their unfortunate brethren. BOURSE.-Three per Cents., for cash, 334; Ditto, for Account, 344; Five per Cents., for cash, 23k; Ditto, for the account, 24k. The principal topic of discussion in the Paris papers is the abdication of 1)on CARLOS, but with the exception of the Journal des Debats, which is understood to ex press the opinions of the Government, there is nothing in them of interest to the English reader. That journal says, one of the clauses of the Spanish Constitution ex cludes the family of Don CARLCS from any alliance with the Royal Family, but at the same time adds, that if ay., marriage of his son with the QUEEN would effect the blessings promised in the Prince's manifesto, the Spanish nation would abandon that point, and accede t') :Ili act which would close family differences, and prevent the possible recurrence of a war for the succession. It may be inferred from the whole article, that such a result would not be disapproved of by the French Government. These papers contain no news. Several of them adopted the enlarged size on Sunday, and now have a respect able appearance, as vehicles of intelligence, which could not be said of them before. Nothing of consequence was done in the Funds 111 TORTONI'S. HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships met this morning at eleven o'clock to hear appeals. RICARDO V. GARCIAS.

This was an action against the late Sheriffs of Middlesex for an illegal distress. The defendants suffered judgment to go by de fault. Mr. THOMAS stated the case. The plaintiff is a Miss Martha Parkinson, who, with her sister, lived in Gloucester-place, Port man-square, and were teachers of music. In January, 1844, how. ever, an execution was issued against the goods of Miss Catherine Parkinson, and those of the plaintiff were also taken and sold. He (the Learned Counsel) did not wish to say anything to aggra vate the circumstances, as the plaintiff would be satisfied with ob. taining the value of her property, and some trifling remuneration for the inconvenience she had sustained. Miss Catherine Parkinson was called and proved that the goods in question belonging to her were worth 3001. Her sister's was worth 501. at least. Two brokers valued the property at 551. The UNDER-SHERIFF said the plaintiff was entitled to the full value of the goods, and perhaps something more, for the inconve nience she had sustained. The defendants had suffered judgment to go by default; indeed there was no possible defence, as the law declared that the sheriffs should discriminate as to whom property belonged, and however difficult that might be, they were responsible for their error. The case had been opened with great considera tion, and little else was asked for than the value of the goods. The great difficulty in all these cases was to see how far there had been proper inquiries to ascertain the ownership, for no doubt—in most instances—false appearances were resorted to, he did not mean to say it was so in this. All the property was so used, that credit was given on the faith of the ostensible landlady being the owner. The jury would, therefore, in estimating the damages for inconvenience, take that circumstance into considers. tion.—The jury gave a verdict for 551. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) RAT MARKETS.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) GROUP A. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND NORTH RENT RAILWAY. The Committee met at twelve o'clock, and resumed the examina tion of witnesses in support of the Bill. Mr. Brunel, the eminent engineer, gave evidence strongly in favour of Mr. Vignolles' plan. He denied that there was any danger whatever to be apprehended for the powda.mills at Fever_ sham from the proximity of the railroad. Mr. Rendle, civil engineer, had examined the line, and corrobo rated the previous evidence in its favuur, but the details were re. petitions of that evidence. Mr. Miller, also an engineer, who had been engaged in the con struction of most of the railroads in the north of England, gave similar evidence, and stated his opinion that in many important points of comparison the Vignolles' line was superior in engineering merits to the South-Western. The line would be injurious to his property, but nevertheless he preferred it " for a' that." (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP GG. SCOTCH RAILWAYS. GLASGOW DIS TRICT. This Committee met to-day, for the first time, in the Sessions Court, Guildhall, Westminster, Mr. Evans in the chair ; with whom were Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Miles, Mr. Muntz, and Lord Grimston. There were seven Bills to be considered. Of these two were withdrawn—the Greenock branch, and the Glasgow, Dunbarton, and Loch Lomond lines. The Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coutbridge line, together with the Monkland and Kirkintulloch line were unopposed. The Committee took the latter first ; and the preamble having been agreed to, and the clauses gone through seriatim, they re. solved to report it to the House. GROUP K. DIRECT NORWICH LINE. The Committee on this line resumed their sittings this morning at the usual hour, Viscount Sandon in the chair. Sir John Rennie examined by Mr. LEE—Is engineer engaged in the construction of the Direct Norwich line between Bury and Bishop Stortford. The line between Thetford and Bury will be twelve miles and three furlongs in length. The station will be at Britby-gate, on the Bury highroad, on a level with a small street connected with that road. At Thetford the terminus will: be at the east side of the Crockstone road. The steepest gradient: is one in a hundred for a short distance. The highest embank. ment is forty-six feet, crossing tke valley of the Larke, about 4 furlongs; the deepest cutting is 32 feet, extending only 3 furlongs ; the extent of earthwork will be 993,335 cubic yards, at a cost of 56,6731.; there will be 22 bridges required, and 3 viaducts, the latter at an expense of 30,6241. ; the permanent way will amount to 59,6791. ; the fencing 5,4191. ; and contin gencies, estimated at 10 per cent., 17,2881. Bs., making a gross total of 190,1721. A single line of rail would cost 27,6001. less than the preceding estimate of 190,1721. A junction could with great facility be made with the Bury and Ipswich line. Cross-examined by Mr. WHATELEY, Q.C.—To effect the junc. tion with the Bury and Ipswich line, a slight alteration in the level, and a further length of line back would be necessary, (LEFT SITTING. ) GROUP KK. LIVERPOOL AND BURY LINE. The Committee resumed at the usual hour, whereupon Sir C. Lemon, the Chairman, on behalf of his colleagues, expressed im patience at the continuation of the line of evidence which had been pursued on the previous day respecting the same facts. Mr. TALBOT said it was quite as painful to Counsel as to the Committee to examine witnesses to the same facts, but as the other side disputed the amount of traffic he had no alternative. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had no objection whatever to hear all evidence which could be in any degree necessary, but he hoped Counsel would use discretion in apportioning the evi. dente. The Committee were, of course, willing to undergo any amount of labour, and were only anxious for the saving of time. Mr. Chandler, a butcher in Bolton, who had lived 'm ere for the last 30 years, said he represented the opinio • of that class of tradesmen there. The amount of mi at brought from Liver pool to Bolton annually, was as iollows :—Fat cattle, 2,600 ; lean cows, 2,000 ; lean sheep, 5,200; lambs, :2,60 . 0 ; r .at pigs, 5,00; horses, about 1,000 ; • t ags, 3,000. The cattle were generally driven from one o • I .4ce to the other at present, by which the meat suffered . great `injury This witness highly approved o f th e pro jected ho:d. which he considered would be very advantageous to B . ° l t r .,o. There was an equal trade with the easterly towns of Wakefield, Skepton, Gisborne, and other places collectively. Mr. Henry Ashworth, a cotton spinner, residing at Turton, near Bolton, and a magistrate, stated that he employed 1,000 hands. The people of Bolton were very anxious for the projected line, and he had been deputed at a public meeting of the people of Bolton to express their opinions in favour of the line. The prin cipal business of Bolton was engrossed by half a dozen trades, whose traffic he would mention. He would mention the amount of traffic from Liverpool to Bolton only. The cotton brought from Liver.. pool to Bolton was 11,698:t0n5; materials for bleachers, 8,831 tons; China clay, 1,200 tons; metal used by iron -founders, 19,404 tons; timber, slates, and building materials, 14,000 tens; groceries, 5,400 tons; flour and corn, 19,200 tons; oil, 840 tons; cattle, 2,900 tons—the total 83,373 tons. The cost of carriage varied at present from Bs. 3d. to 1 Is., and would average 10s. 2d. per ton. The total cost of carriage, therefore, was 42,5521. He had not spoken of the traffic of the paper-makers of Bolton, nor of the pas. senger traffic, nor of numerous other articles which people use. The cost per ton by the projected line of railway would be at the maximum rate of 7s. 9d. per ton. The total saving would be 10,245/. The total amount of coal consumed by the mills at Bol ton yearly was 118,779 tons; the iron-founders annually, 31,381 tons; the bleachers and chemists, 189,987 tons; paper-makers, 12,000 tons; making a total of 352,177 tons of coal annually. The house coal consumed by the inhabitants of Bolton, who were about 100,000 in number, including the union, was 150,000 tons, allowing a ton and a half as the con sumption for each individual. The grand total of coal used an. nually was 482,177 tons. The selling price of coal at the pit's mouth was ss. Bd. per ton. If the proposed line of railway were carried out, Wigan coals could be had for 4s. 3d. per ten, and they were 21 per cent, better than the Bolton. The saving to Bolton from the opening of the projected line and of the Wigan coal.pits would be 30,1361., and then adding the 21 per cent, for better quality, which was 22,7691., the whole saving would be 52,9051. The sum total of saving on traffic would be more than 10,0001. The sum total of saving to the inhabitants of Bolton by the pro jested line would be 63,0001. These was great delay in the present postal arrangement, and not sufficient communication between Bolton and Liverpool. The projected line would afford a remedy in this respect. Bolton was about thirty miles distant from Liver pool and twelve from Wigan. This witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. SMYTHE, counsel for Lord Francis Egerton, but his direct testimony was in no degree shaken. (LEFT BITTING.) GROUP L. PORTSMOUTH ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAT. The Committee resumed the inquiry this morning. Mr. E. B. Denison in the chair. Mr. Denny, a proprietor or East India ships, stated that a direct line to Portsmouth would be a great convenience in shipping their passengers, as the vessels of the firm to which he belonged all called at that place for that purpose. Mr. Chambers, a merchant at Portsmouth, testified to the charge for carriage by the South-Western Railway. His evidence con firmed that of the previous witnesses, with the addition that there was a less charge made to captains of ships than was made to other persons. By goods carried coastwise there was a charge of 19s. 6d. a ton ; while by railway they cost 235. 6d. a ton. To the cross-examination of Mr. GURNEY, the witness replied that a hogshead of sugar, which weighed 18 cwt., was sent for 6s. by water, but Bs. a ton by railway would be a sufficient induce ment to send this sort of heavy goods by rail. On the re- examination by Mr. TALBOT, Mr. Chambers stated that there was a considerable delay in the carriage by water, and that the expenses in addition rendered a railway communication very desirable. Vice-Admiral Sir John Ommaney testified to the general feeling at Portsmouth, and the favourable nature of the country proposed for the Atmospheric Railway. The population was considerable on the line, and there was now no coach for the accommodation of the public. On that line there Is as the forest of Woolner, which had for merly been disforerted in consequence of the obstacles which existed to the carriage of the timber from or to Portsmouth. It had, how ever, lately been inclosed, and it would be very desirable to obtain a good means of access to the south, so that the timber that was grown there for the navy might be easily obtained- He thought that it was very desirable that there should be a communication with Deptford and Chatham, and also along the coast from Dover to Plymouth, so as to give a facility for the conveyance of troops and artillery to any particular point. Major White, Town.major of Portsmouth for 22 years, whose business was to circulate the orders for the defence of the port-- He had had considerable experience in the removal of troops, es pecially during the war. One great instance, the arrival of the troops from Corunna, showed the inconvenience of the want of sufficient communication with the interior. Had they possessed railway communication at that time, the shipping would not have got in shore, and the men would have been moved into ether quarters without the sickness and loss at that time sustained. To the examination of Mr. WADDINGTON, Major White replied that Portsmouth could not hold out long with its present garrison, but an increased garrison might be obtained by a railway along the coast. In the event of a descent by a hostile steam navy this convenience would be absolutely indispensable. There was a great want of conveyance for troops. During the com mand of Sir Hercules Pakenham there had been only one regiment moved from Chatham to Portsmouth, but there had been considerable communication with Winchester and Weedon, and he thought that the circulation of troops on the coast was about 15,000 a-year. It would be a great saving to be able to send troops by land. There was great delay at present in going round by the coast, he himself having when engaged in the expedition to Sicily been detained six weeks, and his family who were with the store ships were detained 17 weeks, the stores at that time being very much wanted in the Peninsular. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP N. CORNWALL RAILWAY. The Committee assembled at the usual hour. Mr. Thomas, the only opponent to the proposed railway, was called and examined by his counsel, Mr. ROWE—He said he was an engineer, and had resided all his life in Cornwall, and that he had great local k nowledge of the county. He was well acquainted with the towns of Falmouth and Penryn, and had surveyed the county with the view of constructing a railway from Falmouth by Penryn, the trade of which was considerable, towards Truro. He bad taken the levels carefully. The extreme inclination would be one in sixty, and the extreme curve twenty chains radius. Following the curve of such a line to its destination, and, speaking from his perfect knowledge of the country through which it would pass, it would be far preferable to the coast line; the gradients were not steep, and the line might be constructed as cheap, as the proposed line would be four miles and a quarter shorter. Cross.exareined by Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE—Had made the Hayle Railway. Was fighting the public battle at his own ex pense. He did not expect to be repaid, but hoped he might be. Mr. Rendalls, civil engineer, said the floating bridge on the Hamoaze, from Tirpoint on the one side to Devonport on the other, was constructed by him, and that the plane on the Tirpeint side was 1 in 8, whilst on the other it was easier, 1 in 10 or 1 in 12. The bridge was worked by two chains. (LEFT SITTING.) 1 ?%. j r4o 4,11 40 , 1i' b 401 , ri -41 4 . c r ° pi t 4, i nl ii , 4011.1, IT ' 574 , 0 '.• ECOND EDITION. THE WEATHER.-SuN OFFICE, JUNE 3.

The LORD CHANCELLOR announced that Mr. UDR's coLL had been dismissed from the commission of the peace in Ireland. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the second reading of the Maynooth Bill. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE supported it as one of the most conciliating measures that had ever been introduced into the House. The Earl of RODEN moved, as an amendment, the ap pointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the na ture of the instruction given at Maynooth. A long debate ensued, in the course of which their Lord ships were addressed by the Bishop of LONDON, the Earl of St. GERMANS, the Duke of MANCHESTER, Lord BEAU MONT, and the Bishop of CASHEL, and eventually the debate was adjourned at one o'clock. The House of Commons met at Four o'Clock. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Mr. P. M. STEWART, said it was the intention of the Government to commit the Scottish Banking Bill pro forma, for the purpose of making some trifling altera tions, and to take the discussion on a future day. The adjourned debate on the Academical Institutions (Ireland) Bill was then resumed by Mr. MILxEs, who expressed his regret at the course pursued by the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, and his approval of the Go vernment measure. Lord J. RUSSELL al3O supported the measure, although he believed it stood much in need of im provement ; but in the hope that it could be improved in Committee, he should vote for the second reading. The House was afterwards addressed by Mr. A. HOPE, Mr. V. STEWART, Mr. HAMILTON, Captain B. OSBORNE, Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. WYSE, Mr. ACLAND, Mr. MORE O'FERRALL, Sir It. PEEL, and Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL. The House then divided when the motion for the second reading was carried by a majority of 265. So much has been said and written about the May nooth Bill, that we believe most readers are heartily tired of the subject, but the new features which the question assumed last evening by the appearance of two Bishops in opposition to it, and the very grave effect produced in Ireland by the hostility of certain Churchmen and sectaries in this country, require a few observations. One of the first fruits of that hostility was the enthusi astic, national, and, to not a few, alarming display exhi bited in Dublin on Saturday. On no one point is ame tion so sensitive as on that of religion, because it is justly held sacred, because it is the choice of the people, and is a matter not between statesmen of different countries, but between man and his CREATOR. Could it be expected, therefore, that the Irish—a jealous and excitable people— would remain apathetic amidst insults heaped upon their faith, and their venerated priests and prelates, not only by sectarians who differ from each other, but by Churchmen, who recognise the Catholic Church as their head, and are anxious to be again joined with it in communion? This is a fact which can admit of no dispute. Popery has already made great inroads upon the English Protestant Church : the Primate and a large proportion of the Bishops are believed to be strongly infected with the errors of PUSEY and NEWMAN, and the open and decided measures adopted by the Bishops of LONDON and EXETER leave no doubt whatever that they are cordial believers in these errors ; yet Dr. BLOMFIELD last night denounced the Catholic religion in the strongest terms, as if he were a Protestant of the purest character. "He had pledged himself," he said, " by solemn and awful words to discountenance and drive away all strange and false doctrines, and he could not consistently vote for the maintenance of an institution, the express object of which was to propagate error." Yet good Protestants consider the Puseyite doctrines both " strange and false." Mr. WARD and others denounce the Reforma tion as a great crime ; the Bishop of LONDON, both in charges to his clergy, and the new formulas which he recommends, gives every countenance to these strange and false doctrines, yet now he holds himself up as a mirror of ecclesiastical perfection, and loads the Irish Catholic prelates with reproaches for their errors and heresies. But another more important reason seemed to sway the pious Bishop's mind. The measure would lead to the establishment of two antagonistic churches, and to thesendowment of all religious systems. The plunder of the old Catholic Church he therefore feared would be divided, and consequently his share would be less; and how did this subtle and Jtsuitical Churchman get over the difficulty about Canada ? In that colony a religion full of errors and heresies was established by Act of Parliament, with the consent of the Episcopal bench, but that gives no offence to the conscientious prelate; the division of the spoil in that distant land cannot affect the English Church, but nevertheless it establishes two antagonistic churches or more, and therefore is liable to the more weighty ob jections for which a ban is pronounced against May nooth. Not a word is said against liberal grants to Canada and Malta for the support of Popery, be cause, says this peace-maker, " they were conquered countries," and Ireland is therefore to be treated worse than a conquered country. If the object of this Right Rev. Father in God were to drive the Irish nation to madness, he could not use more forcible and more appro priate language. Does this agree with the injunctions of that sacred volume to which, with uplifted eyes, he so often appeals ? Can he insult and provoke the inhabi tants of the sister island and at the same time sing with the Psalmist— " How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity !" We turn with delight from such religious bigotry to the language used by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, contrasting, t-o, so nobly with that of his late brother, the Duke of YORK, and to the just and humane sentiments expressed by the Duke of WELLINGTON, who told the House, with his usual frankness, that there was no religion in the question, but a great Christian principle. Another awful catastrophe, occurring between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning last, has added a new testimony to the scandalous neglect of all precautionary protection against accidents by fire, which it seems to be a point of honour with all the authorities of the metro polis, municipal as well as parochial, to maintain. The scene of this calamity was in Fenchurch-street—one of the most t:ensely-crowded districts of the City, where the accumulation of houses is so excessive that one's only wonder is how the thriftiness of City-ownership can so long have tolerated the existence of many spacious and even magnificent mansions, fitted for the accommodation of a civic aristocracy which had not yet grown too proud to live " within the walls," but which in these altered times occupy, with their marble-floored halls, and their oaken staircases, and their spacious landings, so GROUP AA. THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN (IRELAND). This Commttee met at twelve o'clock, Mr. Hindley in the chair. Sir John M'Neill's examination went to show that there was no engineering difficulty in the line. The cost would not exceed that from Dublin to Thurles, in the county of Tipperary. The cost of the line would not be increased, except in bad weather ; an addi. tional engine would be then required. The cost of the entire branch would amount to one million, forty-seven thousand, and ninety-two pounds. Several clauses were passed. The Committee cleared the room on a clause of Sergeant Murphy's in favour of the corporation of Cork, which was rejected, the standing orders not being complied with. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP 88. DUBLIN, WEXFORD, AND CARLOW RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at the usual hour, and resumed the examination of witnesses. Mr. Colquhoun, chairman. Sir John M./Cell cross -examined—He had prepared a table re quested by Mr. Alexander the previous evening, respecting the cuttings and embankments, which he now handed in. He had yes. terday said that the whole construction of the line would be for a double line, except the laying down of the rails, but he begged to correct this. The viaducts, bridges, and land would only be con. strutted for a double line. The cuttings and embankments would only be for a single line. At any future period, if a double line of rails was to be laid down, and additional cutting and embanking, there would be no difficulty in doing this, as it had been done by him on the Coltness Railway. The latter was ten miles. The gauge of the line was to be similar to what was already generally used in Ireland. The engines would be about sixteen tons, and the tender six tons, twenty-two tons in all. He had made his esti mate for rails at 71. per ton. The price was now about 91. 10s. A month ago it was as much as 12/. He did not think iron rails could be delivered at present for less than 91. 18s., as the freight and delivery would be about Bs. per ton. He had set apart nu part of the estimates for improving the harbour of Wexford. He had, however, framed a plan for the improvement of the harbour, and he had no doubt it would be carried into effect. At present, vessels drawing nine feet of water could be admitted, and of a ton nage from 100 to 200. He had no doubt that a vessel of 200 tons could be water borne in the harbour at low water. The water over the bar was about eleven feet at high water, and six or seven feet at low water. The harbour was a large estuary inside of the bar. The line passed on a level a tundred feet above the quay of Ennis. corthy. Thetown of Etniscorthy was built on the side of a hill. The distance from ttie station to the quay was 2,400 feet. The, corn market was About half-way between the two. (Larr sirriNe.) GROUP DD. THE CALEDONIAN, THE GLASGOW, DITM- PRIES AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. The Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock, and shortly after proceeded to the consideration of the proposed new branch from the Dumfries line through the Delvine Pass. Mr. HILDYARD called on Mr. Miller, the engineer, to explain to the Committee the nature and route of the intended branch. He exhibited a plan andsection of the proposed line, and explained to the Committee the course of the branch. The survey had been made in a couple of days, and if longer time were allowed a more correct and a better line would be obtained, and he had no doubt that by extending the point of separation further south a more fa. vourable gradient might be obtained. There was a gradient of 1 in 75 in a tunnel of two miles in length. It was pro posed to deviate from the Dumfries line a little to the north of Carron bridge, and carry its termination to a place called Elvine Foot. The distance between these two points was 15 miles, and of that portion there was a plane of 5} miles long, on a gradient of 1 in 75, and another plane of 4 miles in length, where there was a gradient of 1 in 90, which no doubt could be improved to 1 in 100, by carrying the point of departure farther south. There would be also a tunnel 2 miles long through the rock, the strata of which was composed of greywhacke. He had estimated the cost of the tunnel at 401. per yard, and considered it a fair value. The total cost of the tunnel would be 140,000/. Comparing the proposed branch with a similar length on the Cale. donian line, on the south side the gradient would be as 1 in 70, 1 in 75, lin 80, and lin 100. On the north aide they would be as lin 150, and 1 in 100. There would be curves at each end of the tunnel, averaging from half a mile to a mile in radius, and neither of these would be objectionable in a tunnel with a double line. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP EE. SCOTTISH MIDLAND RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. F. Baring in the chair, when the evidence in favour of this line was resumed. Mr. Kells, agent of the line, examined by Mr. FORSYTH, gave evidence respecting the petitions of the landowners, opposed to the line. He represented that, with some few exceptions, the greater body of landed proprietors, and the mass of the people, were in favour of its construction. RMr. Maclaren, a partner in a drapery establishment, in Cupar Angus, said that the staple manufacture of the town was linen, and that the railway would be of the greatest service in reducing the carriage or ....tna to and rrtnn the town. At present they had to pay 21. 10s. carriage for goods coming from Glasgow, but by the railway, presuming that the charge was 3d. per ton per mile, the price would be IL 6s. 3d., and if 2d. per mile only 15s. The price of coal would also be reduced by the formation of the line. Mr. James Angus, of Kirriemuir, said that this town was prin. cipally engaged in the linen trade. The population was upwards of 7,000. They manufactured cloth principally, the yarn for which was derived from Dundee. The manufactured goods were after wards sent through Dundee and Glasgow for shipment. The pro posed railway would be of the greatest benefit to the town. The; had at present to cart their goods for seventeen miles. Theprice of carrying goods now paid iu Dundee was 10s. per tun. The ex pense of carriage to Glasgow by Dundee was twenty. seven shillings. If the present line was formed, and connected with the Scottish Central line, it would reduce the expense one-half, as he calculated they could be taken to Glasgow for 14s. per ton. They were at present st English coal through Dundee, at a rate o f 1/. 1s Ipplied with per ton. The formation of this line would reduce them at , , ut 6a. per ton, as the Fife coal would be brought into rriemuir. There were large markets and fairs held in the town.

Mr. M Cockburn . ck AUSTINb n. h greatin reply attentionto t t oh the e sp speechspeech i of his Learned F-iend, and without casting the least imputation on that addrAs, he would say that it was one entirely at variance with the facts of the case. This was not to be wondered at, for he (Mr. :)ockburn) had very great difficulties to contend with. He forgot that the issue of the case would take place on the merits of the case. He was advised by the worthy Secretary of the Great Western line,. Mr. Saunders, a gentleman who was well qualified to give every assistance in the case of railway matters. With respect to the gauge, he (Mr. Austin) would ex. plain that. His Learned Friend had not the courage to tell the Committee that competition would be of advantage to the entire districts through which the line of railway should run. He told the Committee that competition could be used with very great advantages, provided another line were made, but not so good a line of railway as the other. The Legislature was bound to pre vent the unnecessary waste of capital, in constructing more lines of railways or canals than were necessary to the traffic of the country which they were to accommodate. In opening the case at first he proved from documents that unne cessary rivalry was injurious to capital, without conferring any real benefit on the community. Look at the Great Western from Wor cester to Morton, and there it would be found that no competition would take place. Again, looking at Wolverhampton, it would not be nearer to London by its circuitous route than the present means of conveyance by the London and Birmingham Railway. If the merits, or rather the demerits, of the question of competition were not yesterday (nit before the Committee, he (Mr. Austin) would do so to-day. He told them that the carriage from Droit wich to Cheltenham was 65., and from Droitwich to Gloucester 35., the latter being a longer distance ; and this was what he called an argument for competition. He would refer to the general bearings of competition. His Learned Friend called a Mr. Huish to speak to some misconduct on the part of the London and Birmingham Company. What was the fact in respect to what had fallen from Mr. Walker, who had gone some little Out of his way in eulogising the conduct of the London and Birmingham Company, for their punctuality in de livery and their willingness to accommodate the public? Now, what said Mr. Huish in support of the complaint against the London and Birmingham Company ?—why, that that Company had refused to regulate their tolls in conformity with the wishes of the Grand Junction Co mpany. Now, why should this be the grounds of a com plaint against his clients ? and this was brought as an argument in favour o [competition. (LEFT BITTING.) GROUP FF. THE EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. The Select Committee •n this group re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock, when the general evidence in favour of the Edin burgh and Northern Railway was proceeded with. M r . Machray, an extensive coach proprietor, residing in Aber deen, said an arrangement had lately been come to between the mail contractors and the Post office for carrying the mails to Perth by way:of Fife and Burntisland instead of by way of Queensferry. He had a share in the Defiance coach, running from Edinburgh to Perth. The road taken by that coach had lately been changed from Queensferry to Burntisland, and the result of this change had proved highly successful—indeed, it had had the effect of In creasing the traffic by 1,6381. On cross-examination, the witness said that the route of the De fiance coach had been changed from Queensferry to Burntisland, not because it was the best road to Perth, but because it was the best paying road to Dundee. The Defiance did not now run to Dundee. . Captain Berkeley, the celebrated pedestrian, and an extensive farmer at Alladyce, proved that the greater quantity of cattle was sent from Aberdeen to Edinburgh by steamboat, by way of Oranton pier, and thence by land. The journey at present occu. pied three days. Considerable inconvenience was occasioned by embarking the cattle at Aberdeen ; but if there was a railway, of course all these difficulties would be removed, and the journey would be reduced to seven or eight hours. Like the last witness, he was one of the proprietors of the Defiance coach, which was first started in 1829. In March last the route of the coach was changed from Queensferry to Burntisland, and since the change the coach had paid better than ever it did before. The coach was ferried across Burntisland without any difficulty. On cross-examination, he admitted that the direct through route from Edinburgh to Perth was by way of Queensferry, but it was much more favourable for a coach or a railway to run by way of Burntisland, because the traffic by that route was considerably greater than by way of Queensferry. Mr. Melville, a landed proprietor in Fifeshire, said the majority of the inhabitants of that county, which is one of the most impu. lons in Scotland, were decidedly in favour of this raiway, and for his own part he thought it would afford more advantage to the north of. Scotland than any other contemplated or suggested line. GROUP R. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; Mr. Gibson Craig in the chair. The CHAIRMAN inquired what witnesses were to be examined against that portion of the Belfast Junction proposed to be formed from Drogheda to Kells ? Mr. MALLEY, who appeared for the Great North-Western pro ject, intimated that the only witness he had to bring before them was Mr. Cubitt, the engineer. The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee were of opinion that the evidence already given before them was quite sufficient to decide their minds. The room was then cleared ; and, on our return, The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee had decided that the preamble of the Belfast Junction was proved, as far as it re lated to the line between Drogheda and Portadown, and to the branch proposed from Drogheda to Kells as far as Navan, being eight miles short of the terminus proposed. The line thus as sented to by the Committee, leaves out that portion of the branch proposed to be formed from Navan to Kells. Mr. Murphy then proposed to the Committee that, in the event of steps not being taken to form the inland line from Dublin to Armagh, during the present session, that powers should be reserved in the Belfast Junction Bill to form the portion of the branch line omitted, from Navan to Kells. The Committee decided against entertaining the proposition. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP S. This Committee reassembled this morning at twelve o'clock. Mr. S. Wortley in the chair.

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual ur this morning, and proceeded With the toginteriiig etildente the case for the promoters of the COVENTRY, ELDIWORTH, AND NUNEATON IMAILIATAY. The examination of Mr. Addison, the engineer to the Company, was resumed by Mr. MAKAOLEV, The principal details of his evidence were given yesterday. His testimony this morning Was of a general nr ture, and only went to show the proposed line was the best that could possibly be marked out. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP W. lIRA.YTON AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee on this line reassembled to.day at twelve o'clock. Present—Mr. Pakington (in the chair), Lord Seymour, Mr. Max well, Mr. Bouverie, and Mr. Whitmore. The examination of Mr. Arthur Maude was then resumed-.. Knew most of the persons at Goole who signed a petition in favour of the proposed line. They were all respectable persons. Many of them signed the petition after they knew that Mr. Hudson had leased the Hull and Selby line. The CHAIRMAN said that he would like to ascertain, previous to the eress-examination of this witness, what course tha promotets of the line intended to adopt with regard to the additional evidence they would bring forward. He did not wish to be understood as prescribing or dictating to the Learned Counsel the course proper for them to adopt, but if he might be permitted to say so at this stage of the proceedings, he considered that the direct examination of the last witness served the competing line (the Pon.. tefract and Goole line) as much as the proposed one (the Brayton and Goole). Mr. PICKERING begged to know why the Chairman entertained that opinion ? The CHAIRMAN said, that front the evidence given yesterday by the witness, it appeared that the principal traffic he referred to was sugar—that he sent annually 1,200 tons to Yorkshire, Leeds and Bradford. Of that quantity he stated that only 100 tons veent to Leeds, and 150 tons to Bradford—the rest went to Halifax and Huddersfield. Now the Pontefract and Goole line was, in his opi. nion, as much served as the proposed line, for the difference be tween the two as to gradients and distance, according to the evi dence they had yet heard, was, in all these points, as favour able a line for the conveyance of the traffic referred to. Mr. KNOWLES said that he was prepared to prove that the Brayton and Goole line was In every respect superior, more convenient, and would afford greater accommodation to the in-. habitants of Goole. It would also open up the large collieries, & c Mr. George Hammond, a flax.spinner, at Leeds, was then ex. amined. He Imported flax largely from the ports of the Baltic, Belgium, and France. All his flax came to Hull. The cost from Hull to Leeds was 6s. Bd. per ton. If the proposed line were laid down, and the same rates charged for the conveyance of flax as on other lines, the saving in carriage would be 2s. 6d. per ton from Goole. 13y Mr. WlLams—Was a shareholder in the Midland Counties. Mr. Rand was a worsted spinner rnd manufacturer at Bradford. Employed 1,600 hands in his business. Imported 4,000 bales of wool from Germany and other places. The cost of the carriage of the colonial wool bought in the London market, by canal to Leeds,was 15.6 d. per cwt., or 3()s, a ton. This witness went on to say how much more convenient it would be for him, as well as cheaper, if the proposed line were laid down, by enabling him to bring his colonial wool to Goole instead of Hull. Mr. Prellar, exporter of yarns—Lived at Bradford. Exported 800 tons annually at Hull. He gave similar evidence as the last witness with respect to the port of Goole. Cross.examined by. Mr. WILKINS—The reason why he thought the Brayton and Goole line was preferable to the Wakefield and Goole line, was the better gradients which it afforded. Knew that by the sections. The sections he saw were Mr. Birkenshaw's. Mr. Holt, examined by Mr. KNowLes— Was a wool merchant at Leeds for twenty-five years. Purchased large quantities of wool yearly from Germany. Imported 3,000 to 4,000 bags. It was brought partly by water, partly by rail, but latterly he had had it all brought by the rail. There was a large traffic to Leeds from Goole. His wool came to him by Hull. He confirmed the evidence of the two last witnesses with regard to the superiority of the port of Goole to that of Hull in respect to the accommodation it would afford. Thought the proposed line would be a much better line than the Wakefield and Goole line. Mr. Passevant was a manager of a house at Leeds, largely en. gaged in the exportation of linen and worsted yarn, which was all shipped at Hull. The evidence of this witness was nearly a repetition of what had been already deposed to in reference to the superiority of the port of Goole to Hull, and to the advantages which the proposed line would confer in cheapness and accommo. dation, &c. (LIFT BITTING.) GROUP X. LONDON AND YORK LINE. The Committee having assembled in the Committee-room, No. 8, at the usual hour, Mr. Hawkshaw, engineer, was called and examined—ls the engi neer of the Manchester and Leeds, and several other lines. That part of the London and York line between Bawtry and Wakefield and Bawtry and York was laid out under his superintendence. Considers the prices for the work very high, and higher than any he has heard this session. The line presented no peculiar difficulty. Did not think it possible that the iron for the London and York line could cost the price put down fur it, namely, 121. 10s. Has bought iron himself recently at 91. and 101. per ton, delivered. Iron was an article that fluctuated very much in price; but the present rate was as high as he had known it for many years. ( LEFT SITTING.) NORTH WALES MINERAL RAIL WAY COMPANY MEETING.-(THIS DAY).

FIRST SUICIDE FROM HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—The first suicide from the above bridge took place this morning about three o'clock, when a man of apparent respectability deliberately threw kiinself from the centre of the bridge into the river, and although a boat, with persons therein, was passing at the time, yet their fright was so great that they rowed from, instead of towards, the deceased, and although boats put off from the shore the body was not recovered, having, as supposed, been carried away by the tide, which was then ebbing rapidly. ST. JAMES'S SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM FIRE.—A meeting of the committee of this society took place last evening, at their committee-room, 41, Brewer-street, `Gol den-square, to take into consideration the best means to be adopted to prevent, in future, the loss of life by fire. After some discussion, it was agreed that the man who had the charge of the fire-escape on the night of the fire hi Dover-street should be discharged, which was accordingly done from that moment. It was also resolved— " That some of the committee should attend the meeting of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, which is to take Place to-day, in Willis's Rooms, at half-past two o'clock, In :order to prevent any misrepresentation of the St. James's Society, and facili tate the proceedings of the meeting." The committee then adjourned till to-night. THE LATE DUEL NEAR GOSPORT.—ROCHESTER, JUNE 2.—lt having been Stated in the public papers that Lieutenant 11. C. M. Hawkey, of the Chatham Division of the Royal Marines, and his second, has not been heard of since the late occurrence between him and Mr. Seton, and that it was generally supposed they had gone to. the Continent, this is understood to be not the fact, as the parties were seen in this city last week, having arrivedjrom Gravesend, to which place they came by steam-boat from London, and proceeded to Starhill, to the resideiKe of Mrs. Hawkey's mother, Mrs. Colley, where Mrs. Haw key is now staying. The circumstances connected with this lament ab'.e affeir have caused a very considerable sensation in the towns of r kThatham, Rochester, &c., as the parties are all well known, Mrs. Colley, who is the widow of Major Colley, of the Royal Marines, having resided in these towns for several years. OPENING OF COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Covent garden is at length about to be opened once more for dramatic entertainments. The Operatic Company of the Grand French Opera at Brusselis have taken it for twenty representations. The series commences to-morrow night with Les Huguenots. The list of the company has been published —none of the names are known to the English public. What of.that ; the Germans were equally un known when they commenced their first campaign at the St. James's, and they gave us Staudigl. Let us hope that the Belgians, likewise, will introduce to us some first-rate, although hitherto unknown, artists. M. Laurent is the acting manager, and the repertoire of the company contains the gems of the French opera, serious and comic. SOUTH-LAMBETH NEW FAlR.—Yesterday a new fair was established in the southern part of the metropolis. A field of about twenty acres in extent, and having frontages in the Clapham and South-Lambeth-roads, is the spot fixed upon as the scene of this recreation for the humbler classes. The shows are numerous, but there are few drinking-booths. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT.—The following address, signed by 300 non-resident members of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, was yesterday presented to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and the lion. C. E. Law, as representatives of the University in Parliament:—" We, the undersigned, non-resident members of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, desire to express our cordial concurrence with the address presented to you by the resident members of the Senate in support of the measure in troduced by Government with respect to the College of Maynooth, and in earnest disapproval of the agitation against it." These sig natures had been prepared in only six clays, witlicut any public meeting. The number of residents who had already signed was 78, so that the two together amounted to 378 signatures —a fact highly honourable to the scholars of this distinguished University. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MlNERS.—Captain Howorth, Royal Engineers, and the 9th company of Royal Sappers and Miners, recently stationed at Woolwich, embarked yesterday at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, in the Gilbert Anderson hired barque, for a pas sage to the Cape of Good Hope. The company is not sent out for the purpose of relieving another company, but to be stationed at Port Natal, several hundred miles from the Cape, for the purpose of con mtructing fortifications and strengthening that port. The men who headed set appeared by the 1 1 1 . 1 ur excellent ass buu i o d r , de p r l , ay a i i i r g i t r e r c a l hie., "The d to the t t e y b a a k A e r d yesterday Arsenal, ena girl I left behind me." _ _ ,AMSTERDAM, MAY 31.—The Second Chamber of the etates General rejected yesterday, by a Inajortl,: of 34 to 21, the mqt0 : 11 fora revi3io4 of the ttuidanuatal law. _--------,--------- LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS Dg 1.)
