NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. , , The THIRD EDITION of THE SUN of 143:. (Wednesday) evening contained 1, The closing prices the Funds and Railway Shares. The continuation of the Epsom Races. The conclusion of the day's proceedings before the Railway Committees of the House of Commons. Tite Parliamentary proceedings of the Evening, being a full Report of the Debates in the House of Commons up to a Quarter before Seven o'clock. M•••=•••• Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN moved the second reading of the Malt Drawback Bill. After a short diFctlsior, the }lon. Gentkman, on the recommendation of Mr. MILES, withdrew the measure. The adjourned debate on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reso lutions was then resumed by Mr. P. Howann, who opposed both the resolutions and the amendment. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. ESCOTT, Sir JOHN WALSH, Lord HowlcK. Sir J. HANDIER, and Sir R. PEEL, after which Lord JOHN RUSSELL briefly replied. The House then divided upon Mr. S. CnAwFonD's amendment, which beiug negatived by a large majority, thQ original motion was put, which was also lost by a majority of 7S. The opposition made by the Catholic prelates of Ire land to the Academies Bill is an unfortunate occurrence at the present time, as it will be mixed up with the Maynooth affair, and throw difficulties in the way of the Government, which may tend very much to mar their plans for restoring peace to that country. It ap pears to us that the Irish bishops attach too much importance to the question of religious education in col leges. In England the practice of teaching divinity to all the students at the two Universities has become obsolete, DON'S, worth 3,0001., and also sacrificed in the flames. Mr. KING, the father of the lady in whose apartment the fire originated, Lad wiih hire a very valuable chest of plate, which has been, douLtless, melted in the ruin. I Now the fire was seen and the house alarmed, by one or two active and intrepid men servants, and an omnibus time-keeper, very shortly after midnight; yet, strange to say, we find no account of any combined or active exertions of the police. It was an opera night, and the French company had been giving a performance at the St. James's Theatre. There must have been plenty of the constabulary within reach ; but, somehow or other, as we have too often occasion to remark, they are seldom to be found when they are most wanted. And when two or three do present themselves in such scenes of unofficial exigency and alarm, we never hear of bold and disinterested exertions to save human life in fearful jeopardy. That they should not have assem• bled on the spot long before Mr. Inspector BERESFORD marshalled them—which was precisely when all the mis chief was done, all the loss of life and property per fected—i s surely highly discreditable to the vigilance, and reflects little credit on the courage of this highly paid and much-eulogised, but, too often, very inefficient force. We have nothing to complain of in their subse quent deportment, or their services in protecting the ruins from intrusion ; but why were: they not at hand to snatch the inmates of the house from the flames ? They should be kept in much stricter training, and be much more easily got at, to justify the enormous charge of their establishment. According to the evidence of a witness at the inquest, the man who had charge of the escape ladders was totally unfit for duty, or all the vic tims might have been saved. This shows what might have been done by the prompt and strict superintendence of the police. and it never existed, as far as we are aware, at any o the five collegiate institutions in Scotland. Our northern neighboars, as all the world know, have not suffered on that account. They have neither become in fidels, nor Roman Catholics, nor Episcopalians, but adhere as religiously to the Kirk and the religious tenets of KNOX, and the other fathers of the Calvinistic Church, as they could have done, had they never heard of any other system of belief. Why, therefore, should the Ca tholics be afraid ? If their religion cannot stand upon its merits, there must be something in it radically bad or defective, and it is rather disparaging to Irish men to insinuate that, if they are not watched by their priests and constantly steered in the right way, they will become Protestants or infidels. There is not the slightest ground for such fears, and it would be well, therefore, for the heads of the Church to weigh all the circumstances well before they make demands on the Government which must be inconvenient, and may be ruinous to the best in terests of their country. The mixed education in the National schools, they know, works well ; Catholic and Potestant children learn the rudiments, and some of the higher branches of instruction together in the same classes, and we have not heard that any proselytes have been the result on either side. What fear can there be that attempts of the kind will be made, or be successful, upon young men whose religious feelings are already formed, who still may have daily opportunities of attending their own churches, and receiving religious instruction from their pastors ? Besides, they ought to remember that in this world of difficulties, mankind cannot obtain all that they may de sire, or that they believe really good. Parties who differ in opinion must yield a little, allowance must be made for prejudices, national as well as religious, and mutual forbearance be cultivated, else civilised society would become more intolerable than even the wildest bar barism. We have strong hopes, therefore, that the Irish prelates will endeavour to meet the views of the Government as far as they can with a conviction of safety, and have no doubt that on the other side every disposition to conciliate will be willingly shown. It is a fortunate circumstance that the present Lord- Lieutenant is one qualified for such a juncture, and pos sesses a knowledge of the world, and an amenity of temper, joined to sterling abilities, which have already surmounted great difficulties in important negotiations. The reply which Lord HEYTESBURY made to the pre lates, on receiving the deputation, augurs well for the cause. According to the Dublin Evening Post, his Excellency expressed his conviction that " the Government would pay the utmost attention to opinions and suggestions coming from such a source, and with the best disposition to adopt those suggestions, so far as they could do so consistently with their duty. The de cisiun upon those points would rest with the Govern ment, who, he felt assured, were most anxious to provide for the moral guardianship of the pupils, arid to prevent any possible interference with the reli gion of any class. Looking to the various suggestions in the memorial, his Excellency stated it as his own opinion, that no serious obstacle was likely to arise on any point but one, namely, the vesting the appointments in a board of trustees, as the Government, he thought, would have a decided objection to such an arrangement, which could not be expected to work satisfactorily." We have received Madrid journals of the 21st inst. On that day the Cortes met for the last time previous to the prorogation. No business was done ; but in the Chamber of Deputies some questions were put, respect ing the news from Rome, evidently intended for the Ministers, but no Minister was present. One of the speakers said, a petition, signed by several Deputies, had been presented to the President, demanding an extraordinary meeting of the Chamber, for the purpose of hearing explanations from the Government on the relations between Spain and the Court of Rome ; but the President informed him the petition was not signed by the requisite number, and, of course, was invalid. Another speaker complained of the absence of Ministers, and the President, finding there was no business before the Chamber, pronounced the adjournment, and at that moment three Ministers, MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, MON, and PEDAL entered. They were surprised, or pretended to be surprised, that the Chamber was adjourned, and thus escaped some questions which they might not find it convenient to answer. In reference to the objections of the POPE to the propositions of the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, the Herald() says :—" It cannot be doubted that the Court of Rome will acquiesce in the fundamental terms of the treaty, which are the political acknowledgment of the Queen of SPAIN, and the religious sanction of the sales of national property. The Holy Father's assent is only accompanied with some restrictions, upon which it is difficult to pronounce, as they are not sufficiently known. But it may be safely affirmed that there is great exaggeration in the rumours in circulation." Rumours prevailed, and they seem not to be without foundation, that NARVAEZ has fallen into disgrace at Court, and that a serious misunderstanding exists between him and Queen CHRISTINA. Don CARLOS, according to accounts from different quarters entitled to full credit, has at last resigned his claims to the throne of Spain, in favour of his son, the Prince of Asturias. The consequence of this, it is anticipated, will be the marriage of the QUEEN with that Prince, in order to put an end to the dispute about the succession. LOUIS PHILIPPE, with his usual skill, is said to have arranged this affair. On the 21st the Three per Cents. closed at 321 for cash, and 334 for account ; and the Fives at 24i for ac count ; Debt, without interest, at 60 days, The dreadful catastrophe at RAGGETT'S Hotel on Mon day night, or rather the morning of Tuesday last, was one of the most distressing we have had to record since the commencement of the present year, prolific as that has already proved in domestic horrors. So distressing a sacrifice of human life, under circumstances so fear fully contrasted, in some of their associations, with the deplorable event that they resulted in, may well seem to carry with it to all hearts its own impressive lesson on the frailty of human existence, and the evanescence of those gifts of nature and fortune which all ranks of civi lized society so extravagantly prize. But we do not affect to discharge the duty of moralists in adverting to it. Our object is to claim once more the attention, net of the municipal, not of the police authorities of this great city, but of the Legislature itself, to that scandalous deficiency of precautionary and protective arrangements, in sudden and alarming exigencies, that ought to be always available, at certain known stations, in sufficiently numerous] districts, for the purposes of succour and refuge. We have so often, in common with other journalists, pressed upon the police magistracy and the parochial authorities of the metropolis the responsible duty that devolves upon them of providing such means, and duly organising their supply and application, that we should despair—were we to renew our appeal to them—of doing so with any greater degree of success than has attended our former efforts. It is really high time that the Secretary of State for the Home Department should introduce some measure on this subject, with clauses of sufficient strin gency to ensure for its enactments a faithful and vigilant execution. Fire-escapes ought to be, undoubtedly, deposited in some permanent locality in each of a given number of districts, into which the city and liberties of Westminster and their suburbs, for example, might be divided for such a purpose, without delay. Every possible means should be adopted for giving the most extensive publicity to all these details. The deposit, and the prompt supply of these escapes, should be made with, and required of, responsible parties, paid for the discharge of these duties, and amenable in heavy penalties for, any neglect of them. To each of these district stations at least one messenger should be attached, in order to, ensure at all hours instant communication with the nearest establish ment of the fire brigade. In this way there would be no time lost on the outbreak of a fire—first, through the absence of any party specially charged with the duty of looking out for such accidents; secondly, by rea son of the distance of the point to be applied to ; thirdly, by that uncertainty which often produces irreparable delay with regard to the precise direc tion in which fire-engines and fire-escapes are to be carried, even after the fact of a fire having broken out is ascertained by the brave and active men who know not in what direction to hasten. It may be ob jected by some that an organised system of this kind, simple as the plan would be, would entail on parties an objectionable expense. Such an objection would really not be tenable, however ; for the expense would form almost an imperceptible item in the general amount of the parochial expenditure. But if it did—would pa rishioners hesitate to pay an insignificant increase of rates to sleep in comparative security against the possi• bility of casualties, fraught with such terrible extermi nation, as the calamitous fires occurring among them? In the destruction of RAGGETT'S Hotel the lady o a Member of Parliament has perished ; her daughter escaped, but only by an almost miraculous fortune, merited, we may add, by the exhibition of a most meritorious self-possession. .An Earl and his Countess narrowly escaped destruction ; the noble father only just succeeds in snatching his infant heir from the devouring flames, which had already began to gather round his cot—and, horrible to relate, afterwards consumed his faithful attendant. In a gallant effort to rescue one of the inmates of that blazing house—(the ill fated lady of the Member for Maldon, who had arrived in town only the day before, to be present at the QUEEN'S Drawing- room on the following Tuesday),—the owner and landlord of the devoted house perishes with her ; and nothing has been found to attest cr to identify their mortal remains, but blackened, burnt, and mutilated masses of undistinguishable humanity. The unfortu nate landlord's daughter perished by a fate almost equally deplorable—falling to the ground before the fire-escape witde w. The eullda lady y e i n properly whose firechamber ecom menced rescued f wi m th exthtreeirme beds, are an a d ar fi e v d e other frere rariec is .e, aroused the balconies of the drawing-room windows. If a calamity so awful in its destruction of human life could be aggravated by the destruction of valuable pro perty, that incident of aggravation has not been wanting in this case. The unfortunate Mrs. ROUND is supposed to have had with her the jewels on which she fondly, perhaps, and naturally looked forward to making her obeisance to her SOVEREIGN, at the Court of Tuesday ; and they are valued, it is said, at a considerably higher amount than even those of the Countess of IfuNTING- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA Y_EVE NING, MAY 29, 1845. It appears from the Paris papers that Marshal Bu. cueup had commenced operations against ABD-EL KADER and his adherents, and that several skirmishes had taken place, ending in favour of the French. The Moniteur publishes two dispatches from the Marshal to the Minister at War, dated the 6th and 9th of May. In the first he announces his arrival in the Ouaren senis, and his preparatory movements. In the second he gives an account of two affrays on the 14th, between the rear-guard of a convoy and about 500 Kabyles, who attacked it. The enemy were beaten off with the loss of several killed and 20 prisoners. The French, who had only eight killed and 15 wounded, captured 300 head of cattle, and made other booty. Another affair of slight importance took place on the following day. Mar shal BUGEAUD states that, in the ',evening of the 14th, some tribes made their submission. The entire insurrec tion in the Ouarensenis was caused, he says, by the same Scheriff, who raised the Dahra, and who presented himself as a kind of prophet sent by GOD to delive Al geria from the Christians. Two other impostors, how • ever, are stated to have appeared, one i❑ the Mountai n and the other in the Dahra. Marshal BIIGEAUD attri butes these revolts to ABD-EL-KADER, who was expected in that quarter. Some additional particulars had been received respecting the treaty with Morocco. The Journal des Debuts, in an article on the subject, which probably speaks the opinions of the Govern ment, says—" Fresh intelligence leads us to believe that this affair is far from having the gravity which has been attributed to it, and that it is not of a nature to compromise the solution of the secondary difficulties which still remain to be arranged with our neighbour in Africa." It then gives the following letter from Tan giers, dated May 10 " The circumstances which have,suddenly arrested the ratifica tion of the convention lately concluded for fixing the limits of the frontiers, are clearing up more and more, and this unexpected obstacle appears to possess less gravity than could be at first sup posed. The convention was intended to seek out and fix the ancient limits of Algeria, such as they existed when this possession was under the domination of the Porte. But it would seem that in the convention negotiated between the plenipoten tiaries of France and Morocco, the primitive object had been exceeded, and that a large portion of territory belonging to Morocco had been assigned to France. When the text of the convention was sent to the Emperor, the chiefs of the Kabyles, neighbouring to the frontiers, were in his presence, and he com. municated to them what had been done. They all cried out against it unanimously, declaring that the frontier marked in the convention was very different from that recognised before the French conquest, and that the new arrangement took from them a portion of territory which had belonged to them from generation to generation. In reply to their pressing com plaints, the Emperor had to assure them that it was never in tended to encroach on their rights, but simply to fix the ancient limits of the Turks. A fact which, besides, would seem to prove that the designation of the frontier was still a subject of doubt, is that the convention was only signed, it is positively asserted, by one of the two Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor, the Caid of Ouchda. The second Sid- Ahmed-Elkadir, refused to affix his signature, for the rea sons which afterwards determined the Emperor himself." That journal adds :—" At no period, and in no part of the world, have questions of frontiers been easy to decide. We may point to the frontiers of Belgium and Holland as an example, they having been only recently fixed definitively. We may also mention the frontiers of the English possession in North America, which were in dispute for uwards of fifty years, and which were de. cided only two years back. That did not, however, pre vent England and the United States from living in peace for thirty years, as they do at present, although their limits are again con. tested on another side. We do not see, therefore, why difficulties which between two civilised nations are habitually resolved by means of negotiations ought to be arranged otherwise when one of the parties is what is called a barbarous nation." Several of the journals advert to a letter said to have been addr. ssed by Queen POMARE to LOUIS PHILIPPE, and published in some of the London papers, but it is so evidently the work of missionaries that it requires no particular notice.

RIPON AND HARROGATE LINE. The Committee resumed at the usual hour, Mr. Patrick Max well Stewart, in the chair. Mr. DaNisoN, as counsel for the promoters of the Ripon and Harrogate line, announced that he would now withdraw it alto. gether from the Committee. Mr. B•IN as, counsel for the Leeds and Think line, wished it to be understood that there had been no collusion, nor bargain of any kind whatever, between the promoters of the Leeds and Think and the Ripou'.and Harrogate lines, in order to induce the latter to withdraw. The line he represented was proccet!ed with en tirely upon its own merits. Mr. HIGDYA III), on behalf of the Church Fenton and Harro gate line, said he would offer no opposition to the Leeds and Think line. The CHAIRMAN asked if the proposition made by the promoters of the Leeds and Thirsk line, of removing the line fifty yards further from Kirkstall Abbey, had been acceded to by Lord Cardigan ? Sir Walter Riddell replied in the negative. He would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Committee. Mr. BAINES said the promoters of the Leeds and Thirsk line had done everything in their power, both by altering the line and offering money, to satisfy Lord Cardigan, but unsuccessfully. The nom was then cleared, that the Committee might decide upon the preamble. Upon re-entering the room The CHAIRMAN declared that the Committee had negatived the preamble of the Ripon and Harrogate line, and found the preamble of the Leeds and Thirsk line proved. They had likewise ound the preamble of the Church Fenton and Harrogate line proved. Group A. NORTH KENT RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock. Mr. Buck was the first witness examined—ls mayor of Ro chester. Believes that he states the feelings of most of the inha. bitants of that city when he says they were in favour of the North Kent line. There had been many discussions on the subject in the corporation, and one of the objections against the South-Eastern line was that it would cross the Medway lower down than Ro chester. The height of the bridges was another objection to that line. Cross-examined by Mr. ALEXANDER—CouId not say what was the difference of the height of the bridges on the two lines. Be lieved it was more than three feet. No petition had been pre sented by the corporation in favour of the North Kent line. It was supposed that the South-Eastern Company were not serious in their undertaking. But if they were, that would not remove the objections of the corporation. Mr. Humphrey Wickham, of Stroud, solieitor, was next ex amined—Was agent to the trustees of Watts' charity. The trustees were in favour of the North Kent. Cross-examined by Mr. ALEXANDER—Was now an agent to the North Kent Company ; but would not have accepted the agency but that he apppoved of the line. By Mr. MeLtoa (for the Croydon Company)—To build a bridge across the Medway would be very expensive. Mr. G. Essell, solicitor to the trustees of Sir John Hawkins' Charity, also gave evidencein favour of the North Kent line. Cross-examined by Sir W. RIDDLE, on the part of the trustees of Rochester -bridge. The bridge proposed by the North Kent would place the High-streets of Rochester and Stroud in a straight line, as they were formerly, when the old Roman road existed. The present bridge was somewhat higher up the river ; for the old bridge was left standing whilst the ex.isting one was being built. That was necessary to avoid interrupting the traffic on the Great Kent-road. He had the authority of Capt. Beau fort, hydrographer to the Admiralty, for stating that the opinion of that distinguished officer was decidedly in favour of the North Kent Company's bridge, Group V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. This Committee, consisting of the O'Conor Don (Chairman), Sir D. Norreys, Sir John R. Reid, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Hope Johnstone, met this morning, in No. 9 room, when Mr. WEBSTER proceeded to call witnesses in favour of the line. Samuel Barlow, the collector of poor.rates in Sheffield, was called to prove that certain mines in the neighbourhood of that town had not continued working. Mr. JOHNSTONE, for the opponents, admitted that the particular mines alluded to had not been worked for three years. William Marryat, malster, Attercliff, near Sheffield, spoke to the benefits which the intended line would confer on the two towns at the termini, and on the intermediate places. He added that no inconvenionce would be felt by the markets in the town of Sheffield, the property of the Duke of Norfolk. Mr. Bagshaw, magistrate of the West Riding of Yorkshire, as also of Derby, and Chairman of the West Riding sessions, was called to prove that the line would greatly benefit the persons living on the line, and that it met with their approbation gene rally. He had presided at a public meeting in its favour, and although his own pecuniary interests would require him to op pose the line, yet on public grounds he supported it. Thomas Vickers, farmer, at Dronfield, approved of the viaduct, which would cross the markets of Sheffield, as the arches would protect not only the person, but the stock of the market from the inclemency of the weather. Group S. This Committee met this morning in room No. '2O. Present — Mr. S. Wortley (Chairman), Mr. Ewart, Mr. Ainsworth, and Mr. B. Hughes. BELFAST AND BALYMEN A RAILWAY.

These clauses were passed, and the sill or dered to be repo rtod• QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY•) its origin :- " The hatred of the missionaries to the Catholic religion, and to the French name, betrays itself in every line of this long address. What is most striking and most characteristic is, that the Queen has sent a copy of her letter to Kame hatneha, third King of the Sandwich Islands, with a request that he would insert it in the Polynecian, an English journal, published in Honolulu. How probable that this recourse to the press should be the act of a poor ignorant woman I Moreover, her letter is countersigned by a certain George Platt, aid its contents breathe from one end to the other the perfume of the doctrines preached at Exeter-hall." The Basle Gazette states that Dr. STEIGER has re ceived his pardon ; but we find by a letter from Lucerne of the 23d that the statement is unfounded. It appears, however, that the Executive Council has been called upon to report, in the event of the life of Dr. STEIGER being spared, what means can be adopted of preventing his disturbing in future the tranquillity of the country.

STATE OF TRADE.—There was a steady market yesterday, both for yarn and goods, and prices of both were very firm, with a tendency to advance in several descriptions of yarn, as well as in the best 27.inck printing-cloth, and the inferior qualities of 40-inch shirting!, which had been previously some what depressed as compared with other fabrics. The Rochdale Flannel Market.—Monday, May 26.—There has been about an average demand for flannels to-day, with little or no change in prices.

At the sitting of the Court this marling, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, onlbehalf tf the Duke of Brunswick, prayed the judgment of the Court on laniard Gregory, whom, it will be recollected, was brought up on he day previous to his dis. charge from Newgate to receive seldom on that occasion. Mr. Platt (now Mr. Baron Platt) opposed the motion, on the ground that the conviction was bad. The poht came subsequently to be argued, and the Court took time to cinsider. The Learned Ser geant now applied for judgment. *Lord DENMAN said that the Court hid made arrangements which would prevent it complying with the request; It could not by any means come on to-day, nor could ths Cuurt at present fix any period.

The intimation given by Lord John Russell last evening that he intended this day to put questions to the Premier with respect to negotiations with the Government of Brazil, hav ing for their object the formation of a new treaty of com merce, Sze., has attracted attention in City circles. It is more than probable, from what we hear, that the answer will be that there are no negotiations at present for the purpose alluded to. But from information, through private sources, we believe there cannot be a doubt that something like an approximation with the views of our Go vernment, and of that of the Brazils, is in progress. It cannot be too strongly urged upon the attention of our Ministers that deep and lasting injury must be pro duced upon a very large proportion of our manu facturing interests, and upon our export trade, by a strict adherence to the line of policy which has recently been car ried out respecting the amount of duties levied upon the staple exports of the Brazils. And an opening is afforded by the fact, that (as we are told) the mission of the Count d'Abrantes to the German Union has not been quite so satisfactory as reported in the Continental journals. If this prove true, no time should be lost by our Government in resuming, if it has not already done so, a friendly inter communication with the Minister at present located here as representative of the Brazilian empire. We are without any arrivals of interest to-day from the colonies. Railway schemes were so prolific that we confidently ex pect to see scores of them of but limited existence-in fact, never carried beyond the preliminary stage of the advertising and collection of deposits. some lines, however, especially where requiring no large amount of capital, will be certain to ensure support from the public, as well as the Legislature, and many of the Irish lines stand in this favourable position, how ever doubtful it may be whether one or two, which we could name, will pay. A small under taking of a most promising character, full details of which, we believe, have appeared in the advertising columns of The Sun, has been brought under our notice, and cer tainly appears to offer an unusually excellent prospect of ad vantage to the district for -which provided, as well as for the parties who may be so lucky as to be concerned as share holders. The Newry and Warren Point Railway is the line to which we allude, and which, for so short a line, will ac complish more than many s imilar and expensive under takings. It will connect Newry, an important commercial town, with its shipping, port, and harbour , and be an im portant adjunct to the Newry and Enniskillen and Dublin and Belfast Railways. The Public Securities have been very firm to-day, and there has been a good business doing. Consols have realised 99% to % for Money, and 99% to 3 / 4 for Account.

The line had the approbation of the landowners on the hoe, the principal of whom was the Marquis of Abercorn, through whose property the line ran for fifteen miles. Mr. John Leatliam have evidence as to the traffic between the termini of the proposed railway. The line was very much required. Group FF. EDINBURGH DISTRICT. The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual hour this morning, and proceeded with the evidence in support of the Bill for constructing the EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. Mr. Cameron, a carrier of Edinburgh, who had been examined in chief on Tuesday, was cross-examined at some length this morning by Mr. Ayton, with a view of showing that the goods traffic over the route of the projected railway was not sufficiently extensive to justify its construction. The witness denied that the Glasgow and Greenock Railway was the worst paying line in the kingdom, but he admitted that a good deal of traffic was diverted from that line by the steamers. The journey from Dundee to Leith by water was only 21 miles, but going by way of Burnt Island, which was the route of the pre sent line, the distance was 57 miles. A line from Glasgow to Perth he did not think would be objectionable, because it would shorten the journey by 113 miles, and avoid a ferry. ➢ir. Sergeant BELLASIS informed the Committee that the Duke of Buccleuch and Mr. Gladstone, who arc the present proprietors of Burnt Island Ferry, were quite ready and willing to bind them selves by agreement or otherwise to carry passengers across the ferry at such a rate as to accommodate the traffic of the railway. Mr. Thomas Anderson, a banker, of Newburg, and who had been brought up as a merchant, was well acquainted with the trade and commerce of that town. Of his own knowledge he could state that 1,809 tons of flax were annually imported into Newburgh. The cartage of this article cost from Bs. to 9s. per ton, and after it was spun the same expense would be incurred again, because it had to be sent back by the same conveyance that it came. The route those conveyances generally took was precisely the same as that of the proposed railway, and he had therefore no doubt whatever that this traffic would come on the line. Potatoes, starch, and lime, and other commodities were largely exported from Newburg, and it was his firm belief that they would all go by railway if there was one. Group R. DUBLIN AND ARMAGFI RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at the usual hour, Mr. Gibson Craig in the chair, when the examination of witnesses was re sumed. Mr. Lindsay, cross-examined by Mr. ALEXANDER—He had been engaged since 1824 in public works, especially roads and bridges. He had never been employed hi any other public works, nor been engaged on a railway. He had never constructed a viaduct nor a tunnel, yet he thought he knew about the con struction of these as well as Sir John M`Neill. The highest embankment he had ever been engaged in was fifty feet, and the deepest cutting about forty feet. He had made an estimate of that excavation, which was sixpence the yard. The witness was here questioned very closely with respect to his knowledge of the mathematical prin ciples on which the construction of railways depend, the answers to which were very evasive and unsatisfactory, and excited considerable merriment in the room. There were, continued the witness, to the best of his knowledge, five miles of granite on the coast line near to Johnsborough, and the elevations were otherwise much greater than on the inland line. He was employed to survey the inland line by Mr. Pierce Mahony ; that was in October last. Mr. Mahony is not at present connected with it. He had been applied to by Mr. Cumming, the solicitor, to come over, but beyond that he had had no orders, except it were the Speaker's warrant, at whose in. stance he had come. He had been over last month at the Stand ing Order Committee, and he then had been over at the instance of the people of Armagh. He had not been expressly appointed by them. Mr. Cumming was the party who he understood acted for them. He had not yet received any pay for coming over, but he expected to be paid by the Ulster Canal Company. He under stood that a certain party was to receive a sum of money from that quarter, and he (the witness) supposed would get some of it. Mr. ALEXANDER requested witness to give the name of this party, when Mr. Chambers interfered, and thought this course of cross-ex amination was very improper, as it would operate very prejudicially if made a rule in Committee, and prevent parties taking an active part as the originators and promoters of railway speculations. After a short consultation, the CHAIRMAN asked if the gentle man referred to was connected with the Ulster Canal Company ? Mr. Lindsay—l believe he is. The CHAIRMAN said, then the Committee were clearly of opinion that they ought to be put in possession of his name, in order to see whether this opposition was a fair one, and whether the project before them was a bona fide affair Mr. ALEXANDER again put the question respecting the name of the gentleman who was to find the money, when he answered that the name was Dargan. Witness himself hadadvanced no money be yond his expences, which had amounted to four or five hundred pounds. He knew of no sources from whence he was to get back this money but the Ulster Canal Company. He had never em ployed any solicitor in getting up this opposition. He never in structed Mr. Cumming, for Mr. Cumming generally instructed him. He had not stated at a meeting at Cavan, that General Bur goyne had said that every opposition should be given to the coast line. Group X. LONDON AND YORK LINE. This Committee, which stood adjourned from Tuesday, assem bled this day at one o'clock, in Committ ee.roorri No. 8. Mr. Charles Lindley—Resides at Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire, and is proprietor of a stone quarry situate westward of Newark. The blocks on the table are specimens of the stone of the quarry. Here the witness described the different specimens, and said that one of them was that of which the present Houses of Par liament were being built. There were several other quarries in the vicinity of the proposed line, the stone from which was extensively used in building. Has no doubt that if the London and York line should be made much of this stone would be conveyed by that line. The present cost of the transit of stone from the Mansfield quarry was 245. per ton to Peterborough. The cost by the line would be 7s. Bd. per ton, exclusive of the value of the article, which was 25.3 d. per ton at Peterborough. By the London and York line it would be Is. lid., or about half. The cost of transit per ton to London was at present 20s. 6d. By the proposed line it would be 13s. 4d. The present mode of transit was by water. Had visited many of the other towns along the line, and found that the cost of transit at present for stone amounted to a prohibition. The witness then deposed that the saving to be ef fected in the transit of the stone to those different towns by the new line would be proportionably great. The same evidence applied to the cost of the transit of lime, both for agricultural and building purposes. (LEFT SITTING.) Group W. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee on this line re- assembled to•day at twelve o'clock Mr. Pakington in the Chair. Evidence was then brought forward, on the part of the pro_ scoters, to rebut the case which had been made against the pro posed railway on Tuesday last by Mr. Smith, one of the dissentient landowners on the line. The first witness called was Mr. Hawkshaw, civil engineer, whose examination was re sumed from Tuesday last. He stated that he had a strong ob jection to the line suggested by Mr. Gooch, on the ground of its throwing them back on two Companies. Considered the graciients of the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole line perfectly unobjection able, and any desirable rate of speed could be obtained on them. He did not consider that even if the other suggested lines could be made with more favourable gradients (which he was not prepared to aomit), that the advan tages which the proposed line held out were to be abandoned be cause of its less favourable gradients. The Manchester and Leeds Railway engines would be large enough for the locomotive of any traffic on the proposed line, and would be able to work with as much facility and celerity as they did upon their own line. He did not think that the traffic on the Wake field, Pontefract, and Goole line, would exceed that upon the Man. chester and Leeds. Cross-examined by Mr. HARDY—There were gradients on the Manchester and Leeds line of lin 150. The average rate of speed of the fastest carriages on that line was 23 miles an hour ; but that was not necessarily the speed. They might be made to go at the rate of fifty miles an hour. By Mr. WiLKiNs—Had heard that all the projected lines had been suggested in consequence of the obstruction of view which the proposed line would give from Mr. Smith's house. Could not say which of the two houses, Mr. Smith's or Sir Edward Dodsworth's, was the best. Thought that the suggested line of Mr. Biikenshaw would run as close to Sir Edward Dods worth's property as the proposed line would to Mr. Smith's, and be as in jurious to that gentleman's poverty. Mr. Vignolles, civil engineer—Was well acquainted with the dis trict. Saw on the map the three suggested lines that had been laid out by Messrs. Gooch, Birkenshaw, and Leather. Believed that these lines, as compared with the proposed \VakefiLld, Pontefract, and Goole line, were very much inferior. He had come to this con clusion from his knowledge of the country, the inconveniences at the NOrMaritoll station, and the circumstance of the proposed line forming a more direct communication with the south. Cross-examined by Mr. Ilnituv—The gradients on Mr. Birken shaw's line, he believed, would be more favourable, and the works much lighter. (1.11,FT SITTING.) Group F. The Committee met again this day at twelve o'clock, : present the Right lion. F. Shaw, chairman, Mr. Bramston, Mr. Drum mond, Mr. V. Stuart, and Mr. Lockhart. The Committee re sumed the adjourned case of the LONDON, WORCESTER, AND SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. Brunel's cross-examination resumed by Mr. HOPE —All the iron-masters of South Staffordshire were im pressed with the necessity of a direct line to Oxford, and it was in accordance with that desire he altered the course of the line from the course it was at first intended to take, via Banbury. The distance from Worcester to Tring is 671 miles, and the distance by the Great Western from Staffordshire to Oxford is 58 miles. This makes a difference of something more than 17 miles in favour of his line. If a line of railway were made from Cheltenham to Worcester, the distance to Oxford would be between 67 and OS miles, which would be a distance of about 10 miles more than hii line. Considers that the two lines, the one now before the Com mittee, and the Cheltenham line just alluded to, would be re quired for the accommodation of the county, and if they should be constructed a change of gauge would be necessary, There will be a double gauge on that part of the line from Wolverhampton to Abbotswood, and there would be the narrow gauge for the purpose of meeting the Birmingham and Gloucester and the grand commu nication, arid also to meet the London and Birmingham. There would be a shift between the colliery and the main line, whatever the gauge might be. To bring mineral traffic down to Oxford a shift would be necessary. The Gloucester and Birmingham Dura tion line would be about four miles from his line. They propose a branch from Droitwich to tire Birmingham and Glouces ter line, and the gradients on that branch are 1 in 85, and lin 104, and at a pit at the end 1 in 90. In that portion of the Tring line there is no gradient worse than lin 152. Several parts of the works will be common to both lines. The Great Western Company have commenced about 10 miles of the Gloucester and Bristol line. Minerals from the Merthyr and Cardiff line by train lines will be brought up to this line. Intended to join the narrow and broad gauge through out the Wolverhampton works to Abbottswood, being a distance of about 40 miles. This junction of gauge would be caused by having at those parts of the line where the course went, the narrow rail outside the broad gauge line, and where that was not convenient, an additional rail would be introduced, the outside rail would be most convenient, but that would depend upon the circumstances of the traffic of the county. Between Dudley and Oxford the gra dients on this line were far snore favourable titan on Mr. Stephen son's line. At that part the London and Birmingham line would have great difficulties. From ltugby to Oxford they would have 3,500,000 cubic yards of excavation. Had not compared the cut tings on his line with those on the other side, but they were much less. All the traffic in that part of the county would be more con venient to his line, and the broad gauge carriages would favour the Irvine most materially, from the larger loads they would carry. (LEFT SITTING.) Group N. CORNWALL RAILWAY. On the assembling of the Committee, Captain Moorsom was called, and examined by Sergeant KINU LAKE, on the part of the promoters of the Bill. H e said he was the engineer of the projected railway, and had turned his attention fur some years to the construction of a railway through Cornwall. Ills attention was first called to the subject in 1840, when he was engaged in surveying the country for the purpose of constructing a railway called the South Devon, which was passed last year. After carefully inspecting the country, he had laid down plans for the proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth.
