The Lords met at Five, and, after mutual explana tions between the Bishop of CAsim. aril the Marquis of NOR3IANBY on the subject of e eof the Right Rev. Prelate, to which the Nobl .*) , I. is had alluded son a former evening, the order (.0 vie ;i ll) for the second reading of the Maynooth Bill was read. Their - Lordships were addressed 1)y the Earl Of CLANCARTY, the Duke of CLEVELAND, Earl SPEN CER, the Bishop of NORWICH, the Earl of MoR NINOTON, Lord COLCHESTER, Lord MONTEAGLE, the Bishop of St. DAVID'S, the Earl of CHARLEvILLE, and Lord STANLEY, after which their Lordships divided, when there appeared, for the amendment, 59, against it, 155 ; majority against the amend• ment, 96. Their Lordships then divided on the original motion, which was carried by a majority of 157. The tedious debate on the second reading of the Maynooth Bill in the Upper House has at last been brought to a close, and the measure carried by a majo rity even greater than that by which it was affirmed in the House of Commons. The majority on the third reading in that assembly was 133, and on the second reading 147 ;—so that the majority in the Lords ex ceeded that in the Commons by 10. These are large majorities in favour of a measure that has excited a vast noise and roused strong opposition from a great number of different sections of Protestants, and we, therefore, confidently trust that such a weight of authority will have its due influence, and the country will wait patiently to see the operation of the measure. We rejoice that the question has thus been set at rest, and at the same time entertain the strongest hopes that it will prove one of the greatest acts of jus tice yet rendered to Ireland. Whatever may be said by the people of that country about the hostility dis played out of the two Houses of Parliament, they must all admit that the Legislature has nobly performed its duty, and, making allowances for the mis guided and bigoted language used by certain speakers, that a general wish prevails among all men of talent, experience, and right principles, to place their country on a footing of equality with Eng land and Scotland. Much was expected from the bench of bishops by the opponents of the measure. The Bishop of LONDON was to denounce it in the name of the English clergy, and the Bishop of EXETER, who had postponed his visitations for the pur pose, was absolutely to crush the Bill by a speech such as never had been heard within the walls of Parliament. Miserable failures were they both. In consistency and relentless bigotry c'iaracterised the remarks of these Puseyite Prelates, and they met just with that support which they merited from an assembly of ' gentlemen, and what is more, good Christians. It is a curious fact that the only English Bishops who spoke against this measure of justice and charity are believed to be much more favourable to Popery than Protes • tactiorn, and other reasons, therefore, than those of a religious character, probably, influenced their conduct. But whatever might be their motives or feelings, their speeches effected nothing, and to the honour of the, bench, their example was not followed. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY remained silent, and the character of the Church was amply vindicated by three of its most distinguished Prela►_es—the Archbishop of DUBLIN, the Bishop of NORWICH, and the Bishop of St. DAVID'S. If we look to the lay speakers, a still stronger force of intellect was ranged on the right side. It is needless to recount their names. The leading statesmen of both political parties vied with each other in claiming justice for Ireland, and were op posed only by such Peers as RoDEN and NEWCASTLE. But their day, happily for the country, is past—their very children have discarded their politics—the old Tory system is extinct—and no people will profit so much by the .]hange as the calumniated and oppressed Irish. (ef .yhatever party the Ministry of the day may have been, it must be conceded to the successive Governments which have occupied office for the last half century in this country that they have all and each of them been animated by a sincere desire to extend the blessings of education over Ireland. However strongly marked the differences which have characterised the general princi- pies of their domestic or their foreign policy, they have concurred in the perception of this great moral necessity affecting the entire population of the sister kingdom, in those classes not enjoying the advantages of competent subsistence, and therefore disabled, whilst unassisted by external aid, from the acquisition of that moral and in- wtelkAtual culture, to the advantages of which no nation is, perhaps, more instinctively alive than Ireland, even in those sections of her community which have been furthest removed from the experience of those advan- tages by realising them in their own persons. But cast ing a retrospective glance at the history of the last fifty years, and endeavouring to speak with the dispassionate impartiality of historians, rather than under the excited feelings of contemporaries, we feel disposed to acknow ledge that Whigs and Tories hare both meant well to this noble cause of Irish education, unfortunate as, in some instances, may have been their notions of the practical means for carrying out their common object. The eleventh report of the Commissioners of National Education, recently issued, strongly illustrates the pro digious progress which has been made in this matter by the Governments that have held office since towards the close of the reign of GEORGE the FOURTH down to the present time. The Commissioners in their report, dated the 24th of April, 1845, have framed a document which breathes a spirit of liberality and toleration on the general principle of national education which is alike honourable to them and auspicious to the Irish people. We would earnestly entreat all those who (conscientiously, no doubt) are of opinion that no system of popular education should be sustained by Parliament, of which the teachers of par- titular religious doctrines should not fore an essential, to peruse this invaluable document. The Commis sioners attribute to the increased grants lately made by the Legislature their establishment of additional super intendents and training departments, and the enlarge ment of their schools. Their school districts have been raised from 25 to 32, and in the neighbourhood of the model schools in Dublin have provided accommodation for 100 of the masters they call up for training, instead of 70 only, as heretofore. They have introduced beneficial arrangements into their model agricultural school, with premiums for those who distinguish them selves by proficiency in this department, and it is highly honourable to the practical usefulness of these arrange ments, that they are noticed with high commendation in the Occupation of Lands Commission's (Ireland) Re port. The agricultural farm, if we may so call it, at Larne has already attained celebrity even among the most scientific classes of the Scottish farmers. The Commissioners boast with reasonable pride that at the commencement of last year they had 2,912 schools, at tended by 355,320 children. At the close of last year the schools were 3,153 ; the children in attendance at them, 39.5,550. They calculate that in the course of the present year between four and five hundred thousand poor ehildren will be receiving the blessings of education. . It is not marvellous that with Commissioners whose energy has already accomplished such gratifying results in diffusing a system of education, possessing every pos sible guarantee for inculcating the most strictly moral instruction, together with all branches of useful and general knowledge, there should be bigots among us who will insist upon mixing up exclusive Churchmen to teach nothing but exclusive doctrine after orthodox authori ties. Let Parliament uphold and extend, say we, a system thus happily begun, and the problem " how to govern Ire land" is solved. Give us half a million of the rising genera tion of a country with eight millions of people, and we shall not be frightened out of our convictions of the imme diate advent of their permanent peace, order, prosperity, and loyal attachment to the insti.tacions of the united empire, by the traditions of past eetituries of b irba.rism and turbulence, superstitious ignorance, and ferocious faction fighting. Elevate the mass of her people by an enlightened scheme of education like this iu their own self-respect, and they must and will be elevated in ours. Equality of rights and privileges will be no longer a claim to be vindicated by them, or a boon to be con ferred by you. It will be a natural inevitable conse quence, which you can neither resist nor withhold. The consolatory truth is, that this salutary consequence is now already in motion, and cannot be arrested. In con clusion, we will merely contrast with this encouraging view of the moral progress which the Irish people is now making the dreary scene from which she has emerged. We learn at p. 5 of the report, that the old Incorporated Society for promoting English Protestant Schools in Ireland was established by royal charter in 1733. The annual grants formerly made to the schools in connexion with it, known as the " Charter Schools," were, in con sequence of the report of a Commission in 1824, gra dually reduced and finally withdrawn. In that year the number of these schools w as 32, the number cf children in them amounted to 2,255 ; and the grant for 1825, (what do our readers imagine it w•ts ?) 21,6151.; that is to say 9/. 9s. led. per h ea d p er annum f or t h e c hild ren educated, and an average of 644/. 9 s . 6d . f or eac h o f t h e 32 schools. They needed no education in jol , bingin those days. Thank Gon w e h ave li ve d to see Irish cation an object of national lib era li ty , and legislative, not party, solicitude. The intelligence from Syria is of a most distressing 1 c haracter. The war between the Drusesa and the Ma ronites, the Christian party, has broken out again with the greatest fu r y , and threatens to carry devastation through the country. Villages are burnt, churches and convents levelled with t're gound, and every species of cruelty inflicted upon the unhappy population by the party that happens to be victorious—for there seems to be little difference between them. The Turkish autho rities, however, openly side with the Druses, but the foreign Ambassadors have taken the most energetic THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA I EVENING, JUNE 5, 1845. steps to put an end to a system, which if not checked, must lead to active interference by an armed force of The defendant pleaded that he did not make the bet, and a special plea that the bet was illegal. Mr. W. PAYNE (the Coroner for the City) appeared as counsel for the defendant, and submitted that, as there was a demurrer to the last plea, which would probably be argued in the Court of Common Pleas to-morrow, it would be better to postpone the case. The UNDER.Samtivr said, that in the event of the Court deciding the bet was illegal, their proceedings would go fer nothing; there. fore, the case had better proceed. Mr. BURN appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the case. The plaintiff Is the landlord of the Robin Hood, in Holborn, and the defendant of the Bear and Wheatsheaf, Lower Thames-street. Shortly before the Derby was ran, the parties met at the Blue Anchor, in Holborn, when a bet was made that Calvarero beat Orlando. It was well known that Orlando had been pronounced the winner, and legal decisions had dictated the payment of the bets in favour of Orlando. Why, therefore, the defendant refused to pay was more tha,i he could conjecture. He should, however, 1 call a witness to prove the debt. A witness was called, when a lengthened discussion took place as to the necessity of producing the betting-book to prove the bet. The UNDER-SifiltlFY considered that it was absolutely necessary that the book should be produced. It had been entered by each party, and the plaintiff ought to produce his own. Mr. Buss said, unfortunately they had it not in Court. The UNDER. SHERIFF suggested that the case should stand ever, by consent, until the demurrer was decided.

The ix/Tarifa/ of Smyrna gives the following particu lars from Beyrout, dated May 13 " We see from here in every direction columns of smoke; Chris tians, Druses, and mixed villages are all burned; our gardens are full of old men, women, and children, who have come to seek a refuge amongst us. The news we have from the theatre of war Is very uncertain, but upon the whole it appears that the Christians have had the advantage until now. At Abea, where they were re pulsed, the Convent of the Capuchins (under French protection) was not respected, and the only inmates, Father Carlo de Loretto and his servant, were murdered ; the American missionaries were the only persons unmolested. Wigi Pasha did not move. The popula tion of Saida was in a state of revolt, the doors of the town were for an instant closed; fortunately the Governor and Cadi succeeded in establishing order, and seized the leaders of the mob. The Cerfe (French), the Snake (English), and a Turkish frigate departed for Saida. lteschid Pasha, Major-General of the Army of Arabia, embarked with a few troops on board of a steamer, and we hope will prevent any further outrages." _ .

The greater part of the vil lages and towns in the high lands are in ashes ; the Catholic clergy have been murdered.

The mania for blood has spread to Palestine The districts near Jerusalem are in arms, and several European travel. lers have been murdered. Heaven only knows how this terrible tragedy will end. In the bitterness of our heart we must now regret the blood and the millions lavished by the Four Great Powers for the re-conquest of this country, for the sanguinary, fanatic, and ignorant Government of the Sultan, in 1840.

We are advised respecting th.. i...1--.,--A v....•—= —....1-.A., that the arrivals this month consist of three vessels, 3,177 tons, from St. John's, of which one cargo was yarded the importer, one of 22 inches average was sold at 214 d., and one of 20 inches at 20kcl. per foot. A cargo in the yard, of large average, of last year's import, was sold at nearly 20d., buyer paying all expenses from time of landing. The demand for all kinds continues good, and the stocks are reducing rapidly. This is favourable news for the British colonies, as the above information refers entirely to American pine timber. Our Australian possessions will receive equally satisfactory information of the result of the wool sales here, and for New Zealand, Cape, and East Indian pro ducts there is generally a good demand. As to sugar, the demand has steadily increased since the late reduction of duty, and there is a gratify ing augmentation in the con sumption. The Funds are rather heavier to-day, but there is very little doing. Consols realise par for special transfer, and 99 to % for Account. Exchequer-bills realise 61s. to 635.

There is more doing in Mexican Bonds, and the quotations are advancing, especially as regards the Deferred Stock, which is up to 21 3 / 4 to 224, as these securities are likely now to be placed on a better footing.

NARVAEZ was still pursuing the war against the jour nalists. Senor PRATO, editor of the Pattial, was ar rested on the 27th, and sent off, under military escort, to Cadiz. The greatest excitement prevailed at Madrid, in consequence of this arbitrary conduct, and the Govern-. ment paper, therefore, in order to calm the public mind, had been instructed to state, that those arrests were made in consequence of a conspiracy formed by the ad herents of ESPARTERO. From all accounts this con spiracy is a pure fabrication, but we give the account of it as stated in the Herald() : " We have reason to believe that the Government holds in its hands proofs of a plot for the overthrow of the existing order of things. These projects have for a long time been ripening by the Ayacucho (Esparterist) emigration, which believed the moment arrived for their execution. The absence of the Court and the paralysation of public affairs afforded the long desired opportunity of employing the funds derived from a loan, believed to have been contracted with some English houses and notabilities of the Aya cucho party, whose restoration to power is the ostensible object of the new conspiracy. It is affirmed that there are refugees in corre spondence with the partisans in the capital, and that an English agent has lately arrived, charged with the necessary funds for gaining over the troops. This rumour accords with what the Go. vernment heard lately, of a distribution of arms and munitions among some of the most devoted friends of Espartero, formerly be longing to the National Guard."

NARVAEZ, who travels with the QUEEN, is said to bo urged to these despotic acts by Queen CHRISTINA, and to be acting without the co-operation of MARTINEZ DE Ls Ross, who is no favourite with that intriguing and dangerous woman. The following notice appears in the Madrid Gazette of the 28th : " The direction of the caisse d'amortissement will pay the inte rest, dating from the Ist July, of the sir. months, due the 30th of June of the receipts, Three per Cents.

BOURSE.- Three per Cents. for cash, 33 ; for the ac count, 33i. Five per Cents. for cash, 23k; for account, 24 The Paris papers publish extracts from the Ocianie Francaise of the 12th January, the Government journal of Otaheite, from which it appears that Queen POMARE would hold no communication with the French Admiral lately sent out to that station ; that she had retired to a distant island, and, in consequence, Admiral HAMELIN, with the consent of several chiefs, had appointed one of them, named PARAITA, regent. Various means had been tried to overcome her obstinacy, and, among others, an announcement was made that King LOUIS PHILIPPE had addressed a letter to her, but all is vain. Governor BRUAT intimated to the chiefs that they should assemble on the Bth, in order to deliberate on the affairs of the country. After this convention, the Protectorate flag was hoisted in front of the Regent's palace, and a salute of twenty-one guns fired. The Oceanie also states that two English vessels of war were in the roads, but they did not salute the flag, though the English officer in command recognised the pro tectorate. We have no doubt Governor BRUAT, Ad miral HAMELIN, and indeed the entire French colony would be heartily glad to get rid of this foolish business without delay. Dispatches had also been received by the French Government from Marshal BUCEAUD to the 13th of May. ABD-EL-KADER was again is the field. and several rather serious skirmishes had taken place between the Kabyles and the French troops. Two suc cessful razzias had also been made. According to ac counts from Seida, ABD-F.L-KADER was marching to wards the east, pursued by General LAMORICIERE. The Journal des Debats contains an article on the new treaty for suppressing the slave-trade, of which it highly ap proves. M. GUIZOT, we are glad to learn, has recovered from his late illness, and was expected to announce to the Chamber in person the ratification of the treaty. The following particulars on ,these subjects appear in the Presse " The journals which have announced that the Minister of Fo. reign Affairs will not resume his portfolio until after the close of the session, are misinformed. The health of M. Guisot is entirely re-established, and we have reason to believe that this day, very probably, the interim confided to the Minister of the Interior will cease. M. Guizot makes a point of affixing his signature to the treaty of the 29th of May. The ratifications are to be exchanged within the ten days, and the delay will therefore expire on sun. day. It is believed that between this time and then the new con. •ention will be brought before the Chamber of Deputies, by means of a Bill, or a credit of ten millions, which will be presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This credit is destined to place France in a condition, within the briefest delay, to complete the number of 26 vessels, of which the French cruising fore is to be composed." _ _ .

HILNER—LIBEL This was an action brought by his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick against the publisher of the Lancaster Guardian, for libel. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. His Serene Highness appeared to plead his own case, assisted by Mr. Thomas, the barrister. His Serene Highness read his address to the jury. The libel was contained in the Lancaster Guardian of the 17th September, 1842, and consisted of a detail of the arrest of his Serene Highness on suspicion of being one of the swell mob. The libel was copied at the time in almost every newspaper in the United Kingdom, and was headed " Arrest of the Ex-Duke of Brunswick on sus picion of being one of the swell mob." It went into details of the arrest of his Serene Highness at an hotel on the charge of having picked the pocket of a Mr. Marquis, at the celebration of the Preston Guild, held in September, 1842, but concluded by stating that the error being discovered, his Serene Highness was over whelmed with apologies, which he accepted. His Serene Highness said that the libel was not confined to this kingdom, but was an European libel, and he had spent 6,0001. in carrying on actions, and would prosecute them against every paper in which it had appeared. He then went into a complete history of his life, and urging that he was the victim of unrelenting persecution on the pal tof the high and noble in the land, and that these libels were a part cf the system. He com mented in unmeasured terms on the conduct of his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, who had been his nominal guardian. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF frequently urged on his Serene Highness to confine his address to the matters charged in the record, and more especially that such reflections should not be passed on the absent. His Serene Highness said he had offered to forego proceedings against the publishers of the libel if they would give up the name of the real author. The defendant had urged that he was not ac tuated by malice. But if not, could he explain why this libel should have been inserted, when there was not even the fact to de. pend upon, that any person, much lees himself, had been charged in the manner set forth in the libel. His character, his reputation, and his honour were dearer to him than his life, and he trusted that the verdict of the jury would deter others from publishing ca. lumny and slander against him. His Serene Highness called— Mr. Samuel Bannister, High Constable of Preston, Lancashire, who deposed that no such occurrence as that set forth in the libel took place. Cross-examined by Mr. WORDSWORTH—Preston Guild was a great feast, only occurring once in twenty years. People went from all parts of the world. Mr. Marquis had been robbed. His Serene Highness was at Preston. This was the only evidence adduced. Mr. WORDSWORTH then addressed the jury for the defendant. He urged that the main fact of the robbery had been proved, the assertion of his Serene Highness being charged was disproved, and indeed the article itself proved that the charge had been discovered to be erroneous. He contended that there was no ground for the im putation of malice,and that the defendant had done everything in his power to do justice to the honour and feelings of his Serene Highness. He urged at great length that his Serene Highness had not received any real injury in reputation, and that it would have been consis tent with the honour and dignity of his Serene Highness to have summed were responsible accepted the apology which h a d b een ma d e . The UNDER-SIIRRIFF th e n pon u sle pihHfoerstahide that the they - duetors of public j ourna l s inserted, n r i ted, and were bou n d to i nqu i re i nto their truth. An apology was sufficient, and had he been counsel for the plaintiff he would certainly have advised hi m not to accept one h t u to appeal to a Jury, , and thus to have his honour vindicated .

HAILWAY UOMNITITEES (THIS DAY.) GROUP A. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND NORTH KENT LINE. The Committee resumed the consideration of this line this morning at twelve o'clock, by the examination of Mr. Hart, Messrs. Hall's superintendent in London. He spoke as to the extent of their business, and the impossibility of removing any portion of their premises to a greater distance from the intended line of railway. Mr. Monk, foreman of Messrs. Hall's mills, proved the precau tion used to avoid accidents by explosion of the gunpowder, or the materials used in its manufacture. He related several accidents of a serious nature which have occurred within the last twenty years, in which logs of timber and fragments of machinery have not only been thrown from immense distances, but have even been imperti nent enough to trespass on the premises of Messrs. Hall's neigh_ bours. He stated, also, that on one occasion windows had been broken at the distance of a mile from the explosion. Other witnesses were called to confirm the above evidence. Mr. Wilts, of Dartford, spoke as to the explosion which had taken place at his mills on Monday last, when pieces of timber were scattered to the extent of 12.0 yards. He had a firm convic tion that the proposed railway would be extremely dangerous to the public and to Messrs. Hall's mills. Captain Crawley and Mr. Austin spoke as to the same facts, and Mr. W. Hall, one of the petitioners, was called, but not examined. Mr. Waller spoke as to the effect of certain explosions some years since. At one time fifty horses belonging to his father had been killed. Mr. MURREWETBER then said that the ease for the petitioners had concluded, with the exception of Colonel Cockburn's evidence. The Couarnittee then adjourned until twelve o'clock to-morrow. GROUP 88. THS WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICILLOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'ciock, Mr.Colquhoun in the chair, when the examination of witnesses was resumed. Mr. Gibbons' examination continued—His examination corn. menced on the gradients, of which the following Is an abstract, commencing at Dublin, and going regularly a'ong the line :—One gradient of 1 in 10, one of 1 in 84, one of 1 in 55, one of 1 in 70, one of 1 in 69, one of 1 in $4, one of 1 in 91, one of 1 in 103, one of l in 107, one of 1 in 10$, one of 1 in 104, one of 1 in 107, one of 1 in b 3, one of 1 in 104, one of 1 in 05, one of 1 in 103, one of 1 in 98, one of 1 in 96, one of 1 in 93, one of 1 in 105, one of 1 in 106, one of 1 in ua, one of 1 in 101, one of 1 in 94, one of 1 in 103, one of 1 in 100—total, 27 gradients, all of this severe character. The gradients were made on the supposition that the atmospheric principle would be applied. The gradients could easily be reduced, provided loco motives were to be used. He estimated that the cost, providing the atmospheric principle was applied, would be 10,000/. a mile for a single line of rails. The worst curve was one in twenty chains. He had been a county surveyor of Wexford for many years. Ho knew the country through which the Carlow and Wexford line passed, and there was very little traffic on it. He had examined the tables and estimates of Sir John and he thought them much too low. The price of land he considered underrated. He considered that, if they went before a jury of Wexford to assess, the value of these 370 acres, they would be valued at double the amount set down. The witness was next examined in detail respecting the cuttings, embankments, bridges, &c., on the line, and the explanation of these, with the cross-examination which they elicited, occupied the Committee till four o'clock. The Committee then adjourned til: tc..in.)rrow at eleven o'clock, GROUP EE. SCOTTISH MIDLAND RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day At the usual hour, Mr. F. Bating in the chair. 7 he oase for the Bill having closed yesterday, Mr. ANDREI VS proceeded to address the Committee on behalf of the Duke of Athol, the Earl of Mansfield, and other landed pro. prietors against the sill. In the course of his speech lie said that the feeling ofthat part of the country with regard to the line had been misrepresented, that the estimates were incorrect, and that the calculation of traffic was grossly exaggerated, for that ii,tead of 110,00 Q/. per ann•tm being realised, the real traffic of the district would not produce more than 7,000/. After commenting at great length upon the se►eral points of the district, the Learned Gentleman concluded by calling osi the Committee to reject the Bill. Mr. JAMES next addressed the Committee, on the part of Lady Willoughby D'Eresby. Ile maintained that the traffic would net be sufficient to support the line, and that the waste of the district would be better supplied by the Aberdeen Railway. The room was then cleared. On our return, the CuatinuaN said that the Committee had decided the preamble of the Bill to be proved. The Committee then proceeded to consider the clauses of the Bill, The several clauses were read and agreed to, and the Chairman was instructed to report the Bill to the House. The Committee then adjourned, having terminated its labours, this being the last Bill in the group. GROUP F. The Committee met again this morning at twelve o'clock, the Right Hon. F. Shaw, Chairman. The Committee proceeded with the clauses of the Great Western Bill for THE oxPoRD, NJORCESTE2?,, AND WOL. vxrtma.mp TON n,AIXAVAY. Mr. BURKE appeared in support of the clauses of the Bill. Clauses up to No. 24 were agreed to with a few verbal alterations. On clause 25, which relates to the nature of gauge, and enacts— " And whereas plans and sections of the railway, showing the line and levels thereof, and also books of reference, containing the names of the owners, lessees, and occupiers, or reputed owners and lessees and occupiers, of the lands through which the same is intended to pass, have been deposited with the clerks of the peace of the counties of Berks, Oxford, Worcester, Gloucester, Stafford, and Wilts, and with the clerk of the peace for the city of Worcester; be it enacted, that, subject to the provi sions in this and the said recited Acts contained, it shall be lawful for the said Company to make and maintain the said railway and works, in the line and upon the lands delineated on the said plans, and described in the said books of reference, and to enter upon, take, and use such of the said lands as shall be necessary for such pur pose," an amendment was moved by— Mr. LOCKHART, " to restrict the guage to the width of 4 feet 8 ri inches;" which is the width of the narrow guage. The amendment, on a division, was negatived, no other Hon. Member having supported it. The remaining unopposed clauses having been gone through, Mr, Sergeant WRANQUAN, on bgbalf cf Ms r Purotc, proprietoi of part of the river Haven navigation, submitted that the pro. moters should not cross the river at Evesham without compensa. tion to the proprietor. The promoters would cross by two bridges, and unless those bridges were made at such an elevation as would not cause the vessels passing under the bridges to lower their masts, the Committee should fix a remuneration for the loss which would be sustained by the loss of traffic the delay of those ♦essels would cause to his clients. Mr. Brunel said he would by morning fix an elevation. This was agreed to, and the point was postponed. Mr. DatstEL said he had to ask power for the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway traffic to go on the Oxford and Wolverhampton line from Stoke to Abbots Wood. He would, however, inform the promoters that the clause, if granted, would not prevent the Bill being opposed in all its stages. Mr. TALBGT thought his Learned Friend was very modest to ask a clause, and then In the same breath, hot and cold, tell his eients that, clause or no clause, he would oppose the Bill. He was satisfied to have a clause framed by the next day, which would be at a reduced rate of tolls to the Birmingham and Gloucester Company. It was, however, unfair to ask such power, and then announce a determined opposition to the Bill. The CHAIRMAN—I think it is almost unfair. The matter was then postponed. THE OXFORD AND RUGBY RAILWAY BILL. The first 14 clauses of this Bill were agreed to without amend ments, and the Committee adjourned to twelve o'clock to-mol row. GROUP OG. SCOTCH IZAILWAYS. GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Committee en this group, consisting of Mr. Evans (Chair man), Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Miles,' Mr. Muntz, and Lord Grimston, met at twelve o'clock in the Sessions House, Westminster. The promoters of the schema called John Leadbetter, an exten sive manufacturer, and Dean of Guild of Glasgow, who said that his office constituted him the principal member of the Chamber of Commerce, and he was therefore cognizant of the proceedings of that body. The consideration of the present project had not come before them in a formal manner, and he was not prepared to say what the private opinion of individual members might be. He was also a trustee of the River Clyde, and that trust had come to a re - solution sanctioning the laying of rails along the quay. He con ceived that the proposed junction would increase the traffic of the Glasgow and Ayr Railway, and also benefit the harbour trade. Cross- examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—He had an interest in the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and in the Ayr Railway, both of which lines would be benefited by this junction, but he had a greater interest in the Glasgow Harbour, and if the shipping inte rest were disadvantageously affected, his less would be greater than his former gains could repay. Mr. Charles Rees, Surveyor-General of the Scotch Post-offices, spoke to the security which unbroken traLsmission would give to the Irish mails, which would pass by this junction to Portpatrick. Mr. George Mills, merchant, Glasgow, was called to prove the traffic tables, but his examination was adjourned by consent till to. morrow. Mr. Miller, C.E., then entered into details showing how he in. tended carrying the line across the streets of Glasgow by a viaduct, and in some cases under, by a tunnel. The line would cross the Clyde by a bridge of three arches, the estimated cost of which was 30,0001. The total cost was 280,000/. It was proposed to throw out a branch from the main line to communi. cate with the Ilroornielaw. The estimates were fully sufficient for the construction of the line. _ - - _ The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till to morrow. GROUP K. NORWICH AND BRANDON LINE. The consideration of this Bill was resumed this morning by the evidence of Mr. G. P. Bidder,C. E., who was examined by Mr. GIRDEN—Is en gineer to the Norwich and Brandon projected railway, and has had the plans and sections of that and the rival Eastern Extension line submitted to him. The distance from London to Cambridge by the former project will be 58 miles 12 chains; from Cambridge to Brandon, 30 miles, 26 chains; and from Brandon to Norwich, 37 miles fi t chains, making a total from Norwich to London of 126 miles, which would be reduced to 1231 in case the Farringdon.street terminus were accorded and adopted. From London to Attleborough the distance will be 110 miles, and from Attleborough to Wyndham six miles, snaking in all from London to Wyndham 116 miles. From Wyndham to Dereham the length of the line will be 11 5i miles, and from the latter town to the metropolis 127 miles ; from Attltborough to Disc 10 3 4, and from Dereham to Disc 27 1 / 2 miles. The gradients on the Norwich and Brandon were unusually favourable, and as compared with the Eastern Counties Extension, were preferable to a palpable degree ; and a great misapprehension must have existed in the minds of the Board of Trade when they reported in favour of the former. The gradients on the Eastern Counties Extension were highly objectionable; for 1,000 yards the decline was lin 85, and for 400 yards 1 in 96. The conse quence of such steep gradients was the difficulty, if not impossi bility, of adopting the customary engines_to the rail. The curves on the Norwich and Brandon were unexceptionably small, and every other engineering point was equally easy. There are no planes or tunnelling on the Thetford Deviation, the length of which will be 51 miles. The steepest gradient is lin 218. Two high. ways, one on the road from Wockham to Thetford, and the other between the latter town and Wetton-lane, to be crossed, but no engineering difficulties of any consequence are experienced. By Mr. Ittcaavis—The difference between the levels of Dereham and Wyndham is 40 feet, the level at the latter town being so much higher than at Dereham. The Hon. and Rev. William Wodehouse, examined by Mr. GIRDEN—Is incumbent of Hingham, and has filled that office for 34 years ; believes that his brother, Lord Wodehouse, is an assent to the proposed branch of the Norwich and Brandon line. Con siders, when completed, it will confer great advantages on the dis trict. Cross-examined by Mr. WIIATELEY, Q.C. —Does not know whe ther his brother, Lord Wodehouse, was previously a dissentient to the Bill, nor his motives for now supporting it. This line of cross-examination being objected to by Mr. Girden, and held as irrelevant by the Committee, the Learned Counsel de sisted ; and the Speaker having been announced at prayers, the Committee adjourned. OROUP RIC LIVERPOOL AND HUEY LINE. The Committee met at twelve o'clock ; Sir C. Lemon in the chair. The first witness examined to.day was Mr. Samuel Cottam, an. ditor of the accounts of the Leeds and Manchester Railway, and general accountant, who stated that the present traffic between Liver pool and Wigan was 95,1091 annually, viz., 26,031/. 17s. 9d. for passengers, 894/. 4s. 9d. for cattle, 65,9331. for minerals and goods, for sundries 25,0001. The population along the line was 330,000. Cross. examined by Mr. Sergeant BELLABIS—A very important part of the traffic was third-class passengers. The witness ex plained In a satisfactory manner how he made the calculations. The foot passengers observed passing along the line from Wigan to Liverpool, at the Ince station, were 4,593 in fourteen days. He admitted,however, that there were several small towns along the line, such as Leigh and Hindley,and would not say but these passengers were going there instead of to Wigan. Had, in his calculations, estimated that 5,0001. a year would be abstracted from the present railways. He estimated that foot passengers, those who travelled by horses and gigs, and what he calculated would be abstueted from other railways, would be about 0,0001., and about 6,011[. from other sources. Re-examined—The traffic tables were taken in the usual man. ner. Had not taken in these tables any of the traffic to York. shire, nor comput,d in any way so highly as many traffic calcula tors who had been examined before other Committees. The examination of this witness lasted more than two hours and a half. Mr. J. Thompson, engineer, in conjunction with Sir J. M`Nei to the Liverpool and Bury Railway, said it had been surveyed under his direction. Was very careful in making trial surveys; thought the projected line the best which the country admitted. The terminus at Liverpool was in Howard.street, half a mile west of the Exchange. There was now no connexion between the terminus and the north docks, but such a communication was quite practicable, and was contemplated. It would have been laid down on this plan, but when it was drawn up the position of the docks had not been defined. The docks were, however, now in course of formation. There would be no difficulty whatever in effecting the junction. The levels admirted of a very easy junction with the docks. The Liverpool and Bury terminus was, generally speaking, about 500 yards from the North Docks, in its passage through Liverpool. Another junction with the Leeds and Livi rpool Canal was intended ; forty feet would be the height of the railway terminus, and from that it would gradually drop down to an elevation of twenty three feet, whence the coal would be dropped into the vessel. Their object in having this elevation was to drop the coal, without breakage or cartage, into the holds of the vessels; and so it would save much time and expense. There would be no difficulty in extending the rails along the whole of the docks. The proposed line passed out of Liverpool by an arching of 1,250 yards, in order to get over a few streets. These arches would be valuable for the purpose of warehouseing. The next work of moment would be tunnelling under Walton-hill, which would be 1,320 yards In length. That was about a mile and a half from Liverpool, and it would be made through free-stone rock, the most favourable of any for making a tunnel through. The line would pass under the Preston turnpike-road, about three miles from Liverpool. It would pass by Kirby Billinge, and on to the north of Ramford. It would pass chose by Orrell, and thence to Wigan, a distance of 181, miles. At Wig .n it would cross the North Union Railway at an elevation. This point would be very convenient for ajunction with the North Union, if required. The line proceeded to the north of Hindley, which it would approach within a quarter of a mile. It went on to West houghton, which it approached within the same distance as Hind. ley ; it then went on to Bolton, and joined the Blackburn, Darwen, and ➢olton Railway; it went on to Bury, and would join the Bury and Rossendale Railway. There were two trunks of arching on the line, one of 150 yards, and the other of 170 yards. It would also touch the Leeds and Manchester Extension One of the branches, the Ormskirk, was three miles long, and would connect the towns of Ormskirk and Southport. There was another, the Haig branch. The total length of the main line was 31)!, milee. The Ormskirk blanch was in length 3 miles 3 furlongs 65 yards ; the Haig branch 1 mile 4 furlongs and 70 yards; the great Lenen branch. near Bolton, a quarter of a mile long—making a total of 5 miles and 1 furlong. The total main line and branches was 35 miles and 5 furlongs in length. The gradients were on the whole good, about 1 in 100 on the main line, on the Bury about 1 in 150, on the Ormskirk about 1 in 115, and on the Haig braaeli about lin 186. There were many of the Scotch railways which had much worse gradients. The estimated cost of the whole line was 912,000/., of which the main line had cost 677,248/., and the branches the difTerecce. Considered the line would be, on the whole, very advantageous to the commercial community of this part of the country. There was much delay on the Leeds and Manchester Railway, and the projected line was most desirable. The shipping stages at Liverpool would cost 1,000/. each ; the branch from the terminus to the docks 101,0001. The cross-examinatiou of this witness was commenced by Mr. Sergeant Beasis, ,but had not terminated when the Committee Adjourned, at four o'clock.

The Committee re-assembled this morning at twelve o'clock, and shortly after proceeded with the consideration of the above scheme. Several witnesses, whose evidence was not publicly interesting, having been examined, mr.

In the opini in he now expressed re garding the eligibility of the atmospheric line he was confirmed by most of the merchants and grocers of Godalming, as to the g rea t advantage which would be de. e his i n Mr. Stafford, corn_factor, at God a l m i ng, was next examined— Heisv its deposed m from the con s t ruction of the atmospheric line, a be at Lond on- b ridge, and the expense of rruwould generally business conve rt issyance would be che a p er than any of the present modes of transion. Mr. Moon, waggon-master, Godalming, stated that he conveyed annually considerable numbers of cattle to London. There were some other waggon -Masters in the vicinity of Peters field and Godalming, who conv e y e d , on the average,, to London, about 10,000 sheep and 1,000 ca l ves annually. They also brought a large quantity of groceries and other traffic, from London, to Godalming and its neighbourhood. If the atmospheric railway were con structed it would destroy his trade, as the goods would be trans mitted at so low a rate, that he could not keep his waggons on the all. 23% 21 1 / 2 6 2% 61 / 2 31/2 45 3 4 16 8 Tii 1 9 IA 2 0 3 / 4 93 / 2 2 % 211 5 % 4 1 / 4 A 11 1 ' 1 3 / 4 3 2'y B 43 11 1 4 2M Mr. Madeley, Madeley, leather dresser, near Gadalming, said there Ming Ws, a great deal of water power in t he neighbourhood of Gott, night , which, by a more scientific manag ement of its capabilities be increased 20 per cent.
