PRESENT PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS. ward, and that a considerable saving of time would be effected to Swinton by the Barnsley Junction Railway. Mr. B. Skidmore Stated that he had had considerable experience in making estimates of passenger traffic for several railways in the north of England. He put in several tables, which showed that, the revenue he anticipated from passengers was 10,1261. 7s. 4d , from 224,939 per sons. This was doubling the present coach traffic and certain additions on other points of the line lie estimated for 400,000 tons of coal at 9d a ten which would amount to 15,0001.; fur 40,000 tons o limestone and timber at 2S. a ton for the whole distance— ' making 4,000/. ; for goods and grain 3,617/. from exist ing traffic and from expected traffic 2,4oo4—making a total of more than 6,0001; for cattle 8851.—making a total of 35,000/. a year; and the expenses of working he estimated at about 40 per cent.—leaving a net income of more than 21,0001. per annum. On inquiry by the CHAIRMAN, Mr. Skidmore stated that he was not aware that there was any limit to the charge made by railway proprietors for carrying .( - roods, and ex plained that there were throe elements in the expense ; first, the tolls; secondly, the propelling power; and thirdly, the carriages ; and on calculating these several items, he conceived that the total expense of carrying goods would be 2s. 6d. a mile. Mr. Er.[sa►xnE explained—The subscription contract had been included in the 500,000/. for the construction of the railway. The Committee were of opinion that. the standing or&re in this instance had hen complied with. Mr. BAKER said the subscription contract was invalid, inasmuch as the forties signing the contract were not suffi ciently bound.

' To .LET, for such a tabu of years as may be agreed on, TWO SEAMS of COAL lying under an estate of about 160 acres, within five miles of the Port of Swansea. This estate is contiguous to the Graigola and Bryndonvay Collieries, and tontainsthe saute seams of . Coal whieketirtae littitfti3e4 Mr many years by the East India Com pany, the Government, and ta present by some Waterworks and large Brewery establishments. The ground is well proved by exten sive workings in adjoining collieries. The property is I,elleved to be free from faults, and the workings may be opened in au efficient manner, at a moderate outlay. The Coal can be produced at a vary low cost, and the transit to the Port will be easy. The consumption of this description of Coals, as will be seen by the City Annual Re turns, has greatly increased of late. The CHAUPMAr said that as, the arguments and evidence in this case, r as regarded the preamble, were finished, it only remained for the Committee to consider whether they approved of the preamble. The room was then cleared, and after about a quarter of an hour the parties were called in. Mr. Locke, engineer, was the first witness called. His de cided opinion was that the line proposed by the Manchester and Huddersfield Company was not only the best that could be made, but the only one that would afford useful and suffi cient accommodation to the many towns through which it would pass. The Sheffield and Manchester Company had offered a guarantee of 4 per cent., as well as half the profit, to the Manchester and Huddersfield Company, if the latter should succeed in the Ashton and Cooper-bridge line. To Mr. BAlNEs—There was a great deal of public confi deuce in the Manchester:and Sheffield :Company. To the CHAIRMAN—The guarantee was 4 per cent. on the capital expended, as well as half the profits. To Mr. 13ADIEs—The effect of that guarantee would be a great saving of expense. To the Ciummas—The severest gradients in either of the proposed lines is 1 in 100 or 1 in 105, and the same engine would answer either. Witness has every confidence in the eontractor being able to complete the work for 630,0001. Mr. Rendle, engineer —Looked at the two plans proposed having reference to the extension of the line from Hudders field and Manchester; there appeared less difficulty in the line now before the Committee than that proposed by the Manchester and Leeds Company; that proposed by the latter leads to the west, while the other leads towards Hull. Cross-examined--As regards all those places that lie to the north-west of Cooper's-bridge, the Manchester and Leeds line would be more convenient. The same argument equally applies to the other lines in reference to the towns through which it would pass. Therefore, the parties in the different localitie, being the best judges of the mutual advantages, would be the best witnesses to question on the subject. Mr. William Bailey, cotton-spinner, was called to • give evidence as to traffic. He employed 1,500 hands at Staley bridge, and 300-horse power. One-tenth of the whole cotton consumed in the kingdom is manufactured in that locality. Uses dour in his manufacture to an enormous extent. There are 23,900 looms in the district, and each loom will consume 2401 b. weight of flour per annum. This is the flour consumed as size. A. great portion of it is what is called " Devil's dust." There is no exaggeration whatever in the statements as to the other articles of consumption stated by other witnesses; a great extent of traffic in coal would be opened by the formation of this line ; if the line be made from Cooper bridge to Staleybridge, coals could be transmitted at a saving of 30 per cent. ; was often put to inconvenience by having no such mode of transit, the canal being often frozen ; if the proposed line be made, the coal fields of Mirfin would be opened, and a supply for many hundred years opened ; the present coal-fields affording the supply will be exhausted in about 15 years; the present amount of coals consumed in Staleybridge was 113,000 tons in manufactures alone. Mr. Cawley, the engineer, was the first witness called, but in the course of his examination was interrupted by the Chairman, who observed that he thought the standing orders had not been complied with in one particular instance; bat after an explanation from Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, the Chairman was satisfied that they had been complied with. Mr. Sergeant WP.ANGHAM put in several letters to prove that a satisfactory arrangement for compensation had been made between the Company and Mr. Parker, who was op posed to the Bill on account of the railway passing through his property. The examination of Mr. Cawley was then resumed by Mr. Car.vErr, when it was elicited that the gradients be tween Bromley and Accrington were favourable to the con struction of the line. There were several embankments necessary to be made. The distance between Blackburn and Belton, by the present means of conveyance, was twenty-nine miles, but if the contemplated railway were made, the distance would be reduced to twenty-two miles. The best means of bringing cotton from Liverpool to Bolton would be by the North Union Railway, and then by the Blackburn branch to Bolton, and this would afford greater facility fir the transmission of goods than by any of the present modes of conveyance. Mr. GREGORY, who appeared to oppose the Bill on behalf of Mr. Parker, then examined Mr. Cawley, and inquired whether there would be any entrance to the Bromley Station for the public, unless it were made through private property in Royal-street at Bromley, when Mr. Cawley replied that the public station would be made in that street, but he was ignorant whether it was private property or not. The CHAIRMAN then observed that it would be necessary to bring evidence to prove if it was private property or not, and he further suggested that, in the examination of Mr. Cawley, it would tend to facilitate the business if he would make a sketch when there was any difficulty in describing the means of approach to the stations. Mr. Cawlev's examination was resumed after Mr. Gregory ' had stated t}iat he would not press the point to delay the time of the Committee. In reply to Mr. Gregory, Mr. Cawley stated that the land in the neighbourhood of Bromley, be longing to Mr. Parker, would not be materially injured 'by the passage of the railway, and that at an interview he had had with that gentleman, he expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which it was proposed to carry the line b;, - deviation through his grounds, only requesting that as little land might be taken as possible. The Act would provide for all compensation for injury done to the property by the making of the line. The limits of deviation - were necessary as laid out at present ; and Mr. Cawley presumed that it was necessary to retain the powers of deviation over every portion of the line until it was executed. Charles Lloyd Braithwaite, Esq., Kendal J. C. Monkhouse, Esq., Barnard Castle John Jowitt Wilson, Esq., Kendal Robert Taylor, Esq., Barnard Castle With power to add to their number. BANKERS—Messrs. Masterman, Peters, and Ca., London. ENGINEER IN CHIEF—J. M. Itendel, Esq., F.R.S. SOLICITORS—Messrs. Mallaby, Townsend, and Newall, Liverpool ; Thomas Harrison, Esq., Kendal ; and Francis Mewburn, Esq., Darlington. The proposed line is intended to commence at a point on the Great North of England Railway, near Northallerton, taking part of the branch line to Richmond, now before Parliament, and diverging from it a short distance east of its terminus, thence following the south side of the Tees Valley, up the Greta, over the line of the ancient Roman way to Brough, forward within a short distance of Kirkby Stephen, through the rich valley of the Eden, by way of Appleby, and to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway near to Clifton, south of Penrith. Diverting from this line, southward of Stainmore, a branch will proceed through Ravenstonedale to join the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway between Orton and Borrow Bridge. The direc tion of the proposed line is north-west, following the mail-coach route from York to Carlisle, and involving the least sacrifice of distance in connecting together the two great trunk lines of rail way, the eastern and western sides of the island. The distance from Northallerton to Penrith will be sixty-one miles ; of this fifty-five miles will be new railway, which, with the branch to Orton, seventeen additional miles, will form a total distance of seventy-two miles. The capital will be 1,500,0001., in 30,000 shares of fifty pounds each. One-third-500,0001.—0f which is placed at the disposal of tlie Lancaster and Carlisle Board, to be appropriated amongst the parties interested in that Company. The revenue will be derived from pas sengers travelling from all the eastern districts of the island south of Darlington to Scotland, and from the counties of Durham and Nor thumberland to Lancashire, and the west of England, and Ireland. In addition to the proceeds from passengers and goods, a very large income will accrue from the extensive mineral resources of the country. A better access will be made to the Lead Mines of Mid. dleton-in-Teesdale, and to those in Westmorland. The line will run near a large district of iron-stone, and become the channel for the coal of Durham to pass into East Cumberland, Westmorland, the north-west of Yorkshire, and Lancashire north of the Wyre. It will form a junction between the Baltic ports of the Wear and the Tees and the western ports of Lancaster, Fleetwood, and Liverpool. To increase the traffic to these large importing harbours, new docks are now making at Hartlepool, and the Tees river has been declared a " free port" to all vessels. There are no canals in the district, and no direct competing rail ways. The local traffic is now conveyed by carts, while the through traffic is conveyed from Manchester to Newcastle by York on the one hand, or by Carlisle on the other. Stainmore is the route for the agricultural produce of Cumberland passing into the colliery and mining districts of Durham. The general traffic has been estimated to yield an adequate return for the proposed capital. For the purpose of securing the coal traJe a Branch will be made from West Auckland to the line between Greta Bridge and Bowes. This Branch will connect Barnard Castle with the Coal District as well as give to that town a road to the south-west and totp Lorth. At West Auckland the Durham coal-field is already open in every direction by railways already formed. The usual clause will be inserted in the Act, for limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their respective Shares. Application for Shares to be made, on cr before Thursday, the Ist of May, to John Whitwell, Esq., Honorary Secretary, Kendal, or to the Solicitors, as above. The CIIMEMAN then said that he had to inform the par ties that the Committee, having fully considered all the argu ments and evidence adduced, had unanimously come to the opinion that the preamble of the Bill Was proved.. He had also to state to the parties that it. was the opinion of the Committee that the point which had been so much dwelt upon in the argument, and upon which so much evidence had been adduced, namely, whether compensation ought not to be paid to the Drainage Commissioners for the diminution of the tolls which might arise from the establishment of a railway, would be much more properly raised by the introduction of a clause in the Bill, because it did not seem to the Committee to be a roint justly bearing upon the allegations of the preamble. But as the point, had been raised, and as arguments and evidence had been produced upon it, the Committee thought it would perhaps be convenient to the parties that he should state to them what the opinion of the Committee was upon' that point. He did not know whether the parties intended to raise any further arguments upon it, and whether they were therefore in possession of all the grounds on which the peti tioning party might wish to rest their case. It might save time, and consequently expense to the parties, to let them know that the Committee, having fully considered all the arguments and evidence in favour of the claimants for corn. pensation, and having duly weighed that evidence, were unanimously of opinion that it did net appear to them that there were sufficient grounds to induce them to depart in this instance from the usual practice in regard to matters of this nature, by giving compensation for drainage. The parties would, therefore, use their discretion as to the use they might make of this information so as to guide their future proceedings. The point could be practically raised only by the introduction of a clause in the Bill. He was now only stating what the opinion of the Committee was. It was for the petitioning parties to consider whether they had any further arguments or evidence to adduce which they might think likely to induce the Committee to alter their opinion; but, as the opinion of the Committee was founded on general reasons, it was not likely to be changed. It was for the petitioning party to .exercise their judg ment on that point. Mr. Hall, agent for the Drainage Commissioners, said it was not likely that the question upon which the Committee had just pronounced their opinion would be again brought before the Committee. He would, however, consult his counsel upon it. The preamble of the Bill was then agreed to. Several clauses were agreed to by the Committee, and others were adjourned for their consideration next day. ELY AND HUNTINGDON. MAW AND POLICE. In the Arches Court, Sir 11. J. rust gave judgment in the case of the Bishop of Exeter r. the Rey. Mr. Shore.. The Bishop had cited Mr. Shore for preaching in an unconse • crated chapel. Mr. Shore replied that the Court had no jurisdiction, inasmuch as he (Mr. Shore) had seceded from the Church and become a Dissenting preacher. The Court decided against Mr. Shore's protest, and ordered him to ap pear absolutely on the next Court day. The proof of debts under the bankruptcy of C. J. Mathews is finally concluded, and a dividend will soon be declared. The April Adjourned Quarter Session for Middlesex com menced on Tuesday at the County Court-house, Clerkenwell green. The cases disposed of were not of the least interest. At Guildhall, John Nicholson, a stationer, carrying on business at No. 8, Great St. Thomas Apostle, and Alfred Dutton, -a stationer, in Union-court, Old Broad-street, were charged with receiving some paper, of various descriptions, which had been stolen from the premises of Messrs. Magnay Brothers, wholesale stationers, in Maiden-lane, Queen-street ; and John Hill was charged with being concerned with three other persons, in the employ of Messrs. Magnay, in the stealing of a large quantity of paper. They were re manded until Friday. John Dobson, the man who has undergone two previous examinations on the charge of having stolen some cash, to gether 'with brass candlesticks, and other property from Maryletone Church, was fully committed for trial from Marylebone.

He was committed for trial, and preparatory to his journey to Newgate the policeman removcalim into the yard, but having occasion to turn round for a moment to collect his witnesses, the prisoner suddenly darted like a deer through a private passage leading into the street, and was instantly out of sight. An active pursuit immediately took place, but Hp to the close of the Court no trace of him had been obtained.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne will entertain the Duke de Broglie and a distinguished circle at Lansdowne House on Monday next.

Cross-eiamined—l only 100 yards distant - from the nearest coal pit; is 24 miles from Flocton, which is near Mitfin; gets his coal from Flocton by the Eyre and Caldon Canal; there are very extensive coal-fields all over Man chester; can get coals from a distance of 15 miles cheaper than from the mouth of the pit which he lives so near to; the reason of that was, because the owner of the latter had witness in the end of a sack, and would not let him out. Mr. Joseph Norton, agent and manager to Mr. Leech, cot ton-spinner, of Staleybridge.-11e employs 1,200 hands, and the mills are within 100 yards of a coal-pit; but we are obliged to get coals by boats from Pointon, the pit near us not being able to afford a sufficient supply; even from Poin ton the supply is so deficient that the mill is obliged to stop sometime*.

A correlative object of the Com pany will be to foster prudent and provident habits among all persons employed on Railways in whatever capacity, by receiving quarterly or monthly deposits from them in fixed amounts, to be returned with compound interest by periodical payments, when accident, sickness, or age incapacitates them for further labour ; in case those sums be not called for, the whole to be paid at death to the legal representa tives, of the deceased, his legatees, or assigns. The Tables of the Company to be so constructed as to net G per Cent. to the Share holders upon the capital paid up, leaving 1 per cent. to form a rest, or Guarantee Fund, until the capital be doubled; and the remaining 1 per cent. to be appropriated by the Directors of Railways connected with the Company, to constitute the benevolent fund already men ' 'coned. Mr. AUSTIN then proceeded to state the case of the pro moters of the Ely and Huntingdon line. In the first place, he should state to the Committee that this Bill had not been read a second time; but he apprehended that the Committee would be able to get over this difficulty, for though the Bill had not been read a second time, the Com mittee were enabled by one of the standing orders to take a Bill into consideration where it formed one of a group. The only difference would be that the Committee would have to meet pro ,foriid'i, to ratify their former decision, but as this Bill was to be read a second time to-night, and as the Com mittee were to meet to-morrow, there would be no inconveniense from going on with this Bill now. The Learned Gentleman then stated that the line between Ely and Huntingdon was 22 miles long. The.population of the towns of Ely, Huntingdon, and Godmanchester, was 10,000. The population within three miles of the line was 50,000. The cost of the line would be '200,0001. The estimated gross income was 17,0001, and, allowing for the ' ordinary cost of working the line, the profits would be be tween six and seven per cent. There were no engineering difficulties which could not be easily overcome. Evidence was then called to prove these points. In consequence of the Bill not having been read a second time, the Chairman said that the Committee could not, con sistently with Parliamentary usage, give its decision on the present occasion. It was understood, however, that the preamble would be considered to have been proved, as there was no opposition to it. The Committee then adjourned till Twelve o'clock to• morrow (this day). Mr. Sr. JOHN then proceeded to examine Mr. Cawley, but nothing further of importance was elicited. After a long conversation between the Committee and Counsel, the Chairman stated that it was admitted on both sides that the proposed station at Bromley should be carried into Royal- street, within the limits of dev►ation. Mr. Gooch was the next witness examined, but his evi dence merely tended to corroborate the evidence of the for mer witness, Mr. Cawley. The Committee then proceededto the consideration of the traffic on the proposed line, so far as regarded the distance between Accrington and Haslingdon, but ♦vhat transpired was - only of local importance. _ FORM OF APPLICATION.

Mr. Sergeant WIIANGITAM then rose and stated the grounds of his objection, on behalf of the Blackburn and Colne Rail way, to the formation of the Blackburn and Dam en Railway, which he maintained would not afford any remuneration to the promoters, owing to its being merely a competing line between Manchester and Blackburn with the Colne Railway, and that there was not sufficient traffic between the two points to support two lines of tail way. He put it to the Committee whether the Company which • he represented was to submit to the great less which they must inevitably suffer, if the line of railway between Black- - and Darwen were permitted to be made. Witnesses were about to be called for examination, when an Honourable Member suggested that the room should be cleared, for the Committee to consider some plan for shortening the proceedings. The room was accordingly cleared, and on our return the Chairman stated that the Committee had come to the decision that it was useless for Counsel to pursue the cross-examination of the witnesses at the present stage of the proceedings, for prima facie there was no evidence before the Committee that one line was preferable to another, or that the Black burn and Darwen line would injure the traffic of the Colne Railway. 1 Mr. Sergeant WIiANSIIAM then proved compliance with the standing orders as regarded the traffic of the Blackburn and Colne Railway, &c., when it appeared that the whole ex- pense of construction was estimated at 530,000/., the gross income, 62,0001. a year, and the net income, making allow ance for cost of working, 37,000/. a year, leaving as nearly as possible 7 per cent. as the returns upon the money lard out, while the fares on passengers would be half the present charge by coach, and the cost for conveying goods only one third.

Yes ; Royal Candles, and their positive superiority is established! Numerous Imitators have already arisen ; and certainly these Imita tions have some resemblance to ordinary Composite Candles. But composite and rubbish haveliad their day, and Royal Candles hence will lead the way. A pure white flame ! They snuff themselves, are as hard as alabaster, purer than wax, glossy as glass, and cheap as common tallow candles, is their true character. " Their equal is un known—their superior will never come." All Imitation candles kept on show, that the Public may see their inferiority to Royal Candles. Only Is. p heer lb.

COMFORT COMBINED with BEAU TY of APPEARANCE to the SKIN and COMPLEXION. —Patro nised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal Family.—A delightful and now fashionable appendage to the toilet, composed of Oriental Herbs of a most harmless nature, has recently been imported into this oountry from China, called MEEN FUN, or Celestial Skin Powder. It possesses innumerable good qualities, but among the most prominent are the following:—Pre venting eruptions and blotches on the skin, allaying and averting coarseness and discolouration, obviating too copious perspiration, and at the same time imparting a delicate whiteness, smoothness, and softness to the skin. Gentlemen with delicate skins will experience inconeeivable comfort by resorting to this cosinetique after shaving, as.it entirely counteracts the pernicious results arising from the use of soaps, composed for the most part of alkali and other deleterious ingredients.

By his evidence't appeared that the rail way would pass through the of k Bretton, in townships on which there were 1,030 acres of coal bed ; Barnsley, 2,010 acres; Barughs, 5,080 acres • Dodworth, 6 , 219 acres; Silkestone and Thurgsla n d, '4,040 acres. That the quantity of coal likely t o be raised was, from the Woodmoor coal, 4,120,000 tons ; from the Barns ley thick bed, 20,100,000 tons ; the Silkestone Main coal, 37,314,000 tons; and from the Wind Moor coal, 14,544,000 tons, making a total of 76,078,000 tons, together with the opportunity of turning a bed of ironstone to better account, which underlaid a space of 5, 080 acre s. He had there for a number of y been a coal surveyor years, and had formed his opinion of the quantities from actual survey. Mr. Croft, a colliery overseer, bore testimony to the con venience which this railway would afford to the coalowners, for conveying their coals to York, as well as to Hull and to Lincoln. Mr. Hopwood stated that the price of engine coal was 4s. 6d. a ton, and that of engine slack was 3s. a ton at the pits, and that they had no outlet for their coal west ward, but that their outgoing w as 50 tons a day, or 15,000 tons a year eastward, and that if they had an outlet westward they would be able to supply a considerable demand that way, but the greater portion of the coals were passed by the Canal, and the Canal Company were compelled, upon being required so to do, to form a train-road from the pits to the canal. Mr. J. W. BROWN, a coal agent, testified to the circum stance that the chief supply of coal for the Silkestone bed went into Brigg, Grimsby, and other places in Lincolnshire ; that before the opening of the Northern RailwaY, the quantity of coal sent away was 102,000 tons, but since the opening of that railway, the amount has been less than 65,000 tons, and that there had been a falling off in the supply to the York, Selby, and other neighbouring markets by more than 15,000 tons; that in consequence of the expense of carriage the Silkesto ne coal was sold in York at 11s. a ton, while the Durham coal was sold at 9s. 6d., and that if the railway was formed, the Silkestone coal would be able to compete with the Durham coal ; that the price at Selby was at present 10s. 4d., and if the railway were formed the price would be from Bs. 3d. to Bs. 6d., but he had not calculated what would be the expense of carrying by waggon, the price at the pit's mouth being ss. 6d., and the freight and tolls together being 4s. Bd., so that he was not able to state what the precise saving by the railway would be. Mr. D. CRAELESWORTiI, a coalowner, stated that there were no means of getting westward by canal, and that this railway would give that facility. He had recently sunk two new shafts, at the Higham pits, which had cost him 10,0001., from which communication was to be obtained by means of a cutting with the Sheffield and Manchester tunnel. They had three miles of canal unworked on this particular bed ; and that it was' a very large unworked bed, if not the very largest un wrought coal-Geld in England, and that the formation of this railway would give the coalowners a double facility in I the transit of their coals, and open up a road to Manchester, where there was now no road at all. In the event of this railway being formed, there would be tt•readier means of putting the coals on to the railway than there now was of putting them on the canal. Mr. Rhodes, engaged in the woollen trade, stated that the consumption of twenty-two manufactories at Glossop, which was a town largely connected with the manufacture of cotton, two hundred was thirty thousand and twenty-eight tons during six months, and that the price of this inferior to the engine -slack at Barnsley, was on an average 7s. od., and that the additional quantity of coal con sumed in the manufactures there was about 20,000 tons for the halt-year, and that the whole yearly consumption of coal was 120,000 tons. If this railway were made he be lieved that the whole of this consumption would come from the Barnsley district. The house coal now burnt in Glossop was about 12s. a ton, and that coal had been de creased in price about 6d. a ton since the commencement of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, w hi ch was not yet completed. Mr. Sidebotham, a large cotton-spinner at Hollingworth, in Cheshire, stated that the coals which were used at his works, which were witbin about half a mile of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, was 4s. 4%d. at the pit's mouth, with an addition of 3s. 6d. for carriage, making 7s. 1014 d. a ton, and that he used twent tons a day. He conceived - that they would get the Silk stone coal; which was of a better quality than that which they now used, at 2s. 6d. a ton cheaper. Mr. Bingley, a surveY.or tinder the I ncloaure Act, In the liejabeit,ii-ood Pennistone, stated that the land inclosed under the Act could not be brought into effective working without the use of lime, and that if they could get lime cheaper, as they would do by the formation of this rail way, they would use double the quantity they now did. H e conceived that the quantity used would be about 18,000 toils a year, the cost being 255. a ton, and the saving by the railway would be Bs. 6d. a ton. The quantity applied wai from 21 to 3 tons an acre. Vir. • Jonathan Brown, lessee of the Greenmore stone quarries, under Lord Wharncliffe, stated that he exported &wilt 3,000 tons a year, most of which vent to the Mt' SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY— (Group T.) On the CHAIRMAN taking his seat yesterday, the con sideration of this line of railway was resumed, by the re-examination of Mr. Miller, one of the witnesses examined on Tuesday by Mr. Atkinson, an opponent of the Bill. The object of this examination was to show that the proposed crossing of the line at Peter borough- bridge would be attended with much danger, from its peculiar construction, and that it would interfere with the holding of a fair which was kept at regular periods in an adjoining meadow. The tables required by the standing orders were then put in, in which it was estimated that the annual working ex penses of the line would be 14,0001., leaving, when deducted from the gross receipts of the branch line, the surplus of 33,8621. 18s. 6d. for the shareholders, or a dividend of 4A per cent. on the invested capital. This calculation was inde pendent of what is expected to arise from traffic derived from the main line with which it is to be connected at Syston. The various items set forth in the estimates regarding the cost of constructing the line were proved by evidence, and unopposed. Mr. Charles Liddel, the engineer of the line, was then ex amined respecting the engineering difficulties. These were stated to be of a very trifling character; the gradients were very favourable ; there was only one tunnel 776 yards long in the whole extent of forty-eight miles, and the curves pre sented no objectionable feature. Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, was next examined. He originally surveyed the line, and in his plans drew out the best practical line between the two termini. It was not only the best line as far as engineering difficulties were con cerned, but the best as far as the consideration of traffic was involved, forming, as it would, the most direct line from Yarmouth to . Manchester. He believed the inhabitants of the country through which the line passed were generally in its favour. He had seen a line proposed by Mr. Giles, and thought it very objectionable, on account of its engineering difficulties. He thought the end of Stamford-bridge the most eligible site for the station, more especially if the bridge was widened. The trains in passing over the read at the end of the bridge into, and from, the station would not occupy above half-an-hour altogether in the course of a day, and then the trains being either starting or arriving, would necessarily be slow and not likely to be dangerous. There was a portion of a line which he had exe cuted in Liverpool that crossed a street, and he never heard of any accident. Mr. Stephenson was cross-examined at some length by Mr. CLARKE in reference to Mr. Giles's line, and the station at Stamford-bridge, but nothing was elicited further than a reiteration of what he had previously stated on those points. Mr, WHATELEY, on behalf of Lord Harborough, examined the witness in regard to the line going through his Lordship's grounds. Mr. Stephenson generally replied that any diver sion of the line would occasion heavy cuttings and tunnels, and add prodigiously to the expense. Robert Stephenson was examined at considerable length, and expressed similar views to those advanced by his father (the previous witness). lie thought the present line m uch preferable to that proposed by Mr. Giles, on account of the engineering, and also to the one originally proposed by his father but afterwards abandoned, upon better information, for the present one. The witnesses during the day were cross-examined at great length, without altering the main features of the evi dence produced. The case for the promoters of the Bill being closed, The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee would take the case of the petitioners to-morrow (this day) at twelve. The Committee then rose at Four o'clock. SUB-COMMITTEES ON STANDING ORDERS. Sub-Committe No. 1., present Mr. Strutt, Chairman Mr. Villiers Stuart, Mr. Pakington, and Mr. Compton. The Committee proceeded with the adjourned inquiry on the TOTTENHAM AND FARRIXGDON EMNSON RAILWAY. Mr. Coppock appeared for the opposing petitioner. Mr. NIAS submitted three allegations, complaining of certain fields and gardens within the limits of deviation. The Committee were of opinion that the allegations could not be sustained. Standing orders not complied with in some instances. Bill referred to Select Committee on Standing Orders. DISS AND COLCHESTER RAILWAY. Mr. VENABIXS appeared for the promoters of this ad. journed case, and read over the several allegations which the agents for and against had settled out of doors. Mr. HUNT, for the opponents, called an engineer to prove that the miles and furlongs were not correctly marked on the plans and sections for a distance of twenty-five miles. The room was cleared on the allegation, and upon our re admission, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that though the plans and sections did not exactly agree, yet the inaccuracies were not such as could mislead the owners of the property comprised in the allegation. Bill referred to the Select Committee on Standing Orders. LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE (WITII BRANCH) RAILWAY. This line of railway is to be thirty miles in length on the main line, with a branch of seven miles. Estimated cost, 500,0001. Engineer, Mr Robert Stephenson ; agent for the Bill, Mr. Ellicombe. The formal notices having been gone into, a petition against the scheme from Josiah Dimsdale, draughtsman, of No. 3, West °s -place, City-road, was put in. Mr. BAKER appeared as agent for the opponent, and stated that certain owners, occupiers, lessees, and joint lessees, had not received notice of the intention of the promoters to take certain property on the proposed line. The first allegation was that Mr. Dimsdale, as one of the undertakers of the Loughfoyle Reclamation Company, had not received notice of the slab of Loughfoyle bei ng re quired for the purpose of the railway. Mr. ELLICOMBE maintained that the allegation could not be sustained, inasmuch as it was not proved th a t Mr, Dimsdale was an undertaker on the 30th of November tut. Mr. BAKER was unable to adduce evidence to that effect. Allegation not sustained, Mr. BAKER submitted that no subscription contract had been lodged in the Private Bill-office with reference to the branch line, and that consequently the standing order• not Veen complied With.

After a few years young Phillips came to Londop with an introduction to the late Benjamin West, P.R. A., and commenced portrait painting with tolerable success, and after some years, having acquired considerable proficiency, he was elected an associate, and in 1809 a full' member of the Royal Academy of Painting, at the same time with H enr y H owar d (secretary ), and th e late Nathaniel Merchant. Mi. Phillips succeeded by election in 1824 to the professorship of painting in the Academy, and delivered from the chair a course of six lectures replete with the best advice to artists and the souudest principles of art. Mr. Phillips resigned the professor's chair in 1830 from the delicate state of his health ; but he continued to fulfil the other duties of council, visitor, &c., at the Academy. In the summer of 1844 Mr. Phillips retired from the active ditties of,his profession, in which he had been for the last few rears assisted by his youngest son Henry, who succeeds to the practice.
