II RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE• The Committee met at Twelve o'clock, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. After disposing of some private Bills, The South-Eastern Railway (Deal Extension) Bill passed hrcugh Committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLN LINE. The only remaining Committee, Lords or Commons, resumed in this group to-day, and continued in deliberation on the mode of drawing up the report to be presented to Parliament this evening, till half-past one. At that hour Viscount Courtenay (Chairman), Mr. Wall, Mr. Screpe, and Mr. Darby entered the committee-room, and the case of the above project was proceeded with. . _ Thomas Dunne Jephcock examined by Mr. Balmt—ls a valuer and colliery viewer at Sheffield, knowing the different coal-beds in that locality. A coal called "converting" is used in great abun dance there for the purpose of changing iron into steel. This mineral is chiefly procured from the Hansworth collieries close to the line of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, and also from the beds of Arquane and Ballifield, severally distant four and five miles from Sheffield. The present price for this converting coal at the pit's mouth is ss. 10d. per ton, and its total cost by the time it reaches the manufactory, Qs. 3d., while that sum would be reduced to 7s. 2d. by the construction of the line under conside ration. _ . _ nations. He had made a table for the information of the COlll mittee, by which it appeared, that for a distance of seven miles from Sheffield, on a space of one mile on each side of the line, there were 11,000,000 acres of coal field, which, if worked to a depth of 150 yards, would yield 41,000,000 ton of coal, while on the same distance on the Bawtry branch of the London and York line there were only 1,807 acres of coal fields, yielding, at the same ratio, 6,000,000 tons. Cross.examined by Mr. Sergeant Witationam—Believes the coal extends to a greater dis mice under the Sheffield and Lincoln line than under the Bawtrey branch of the London and York, and there fore, if accessible, a larger proportion would travel by the latter railway. Mr. Andrews, a coal-viewer, corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness. Mr. T. Dunn, examined by Mr. BAINES—Is managing partner of the Sheffield Coal Company, lessees of the minerals under the Duke of Norfolk. Is perfectly conversant with both the projects before the Committee for accommodating these districts, and consi ders that the Lincoln line indisputably affords the greatest advan tages for the working and carriage of coal. Cross.examined by Mr. Sergeant WR/iNGIIAM—Is Mayor of Sheffield, and in March last presided at a meeting of the inhabitants of that town, on which occasion a resolution was passed in favour of the Bawtry branch. A proposition was moved in favour of its competitor, but negatived by the adoption of the amendment, which approved of the London and York project. This course was pursued, however, under a conviction that the Bawtry branch was a portion of the Chesterfield line. Since then the inhabitants have become more favourable to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. Mr. Charles Atkinson, examined by Mr. BAINES—Is a manufac turer of steel in Sheffield, and the owner of two furnaces for con. verting iron into steel. A ready supply of coal for these purposes is indispensable, more especially as within the last few years the demand for steel has been inordinately increasing. The Earl of Lincoln, examined by Mr. Horn—ls Member for Nottinghamshire, and fully acquainted with the country traversed by the competing lines now under consideration. The towns through which the Sheffield and Lincoln line passes are of far greater importance than those in the route of the Bawtry branch ; and the character of the country—for the most part agricu ltural— shows a similar superiority for the former. The Duke of New castle is a large landowner in the vicinity of the Sheffield and Lincoln line, and assents to it. Cross-examined by Sergeant WRANGIIAM-- Has an interest in the construction of the Sheffield and Lincoln line ; but his prefer. ence is accorded it from a consideration of its superior importance to the country, and on public grounds. Thinks that a line from Gainsborough to Retford and Sheffield would not be compatible with one through Bawtry and Tickhill to Sheffield. Mr. Wilmot, agent to the Duke of Newcastle, attested the accuracy of the last witness as respected the importance of the Sheffield and Lincoln line to the districts it proposed to traverse. Mr. Charles Hickson, a malster and land valuer, at Worksop, deposed to the importance of the Sheffield and Lincoln line to the trades he represented. The Committee at a quarter before five adjourned till to-morrow at noon. NATIONAL TRADES' CONFER- EN CE.-(THIS DAY). SECOND DAY. The Delegates of this Conference, having for their ob ject the consideration of the plans proposed by the Cen tral Committee, who were appointed on Easter Monday last to prepare measures having the twofold object of uniting the trades in one vast confederation fur mutual support and assist ance in all matters involving trade regulations, disputes, and strikes, and of concentrating and rightly directing their surplus funds, so that they should be reproductively employed, and reduce the amount of that superabundant labour which forms a principal cause of the reduction of wages, re-assembled at ten o'clock this morning, in the Literary and Scientific Institution, John-street, Fitzroy-square. T. S. Duncombe, Esq., in the chair. The preamble of the plan for the general association of the trades for the protection of industry having been agreed to yesterday, The Conference resolved itself into Committee, and pro ceeded to discuss the details of the " draft" recommended by the Central Committee to carry their objects into effect. After a very lengthened discussion, in which the greater number of the Delegates took part, and which was not re markable, either for the order with which it was conducted, or the moderation of the language used by some of the speakers in advocating tkeir suggestions, the two first rules were, after a few verbal amendments, agreed to. " 1. That the Associatioii shall consist of those trades unions and other organised bodies of the working classes, having a stated time and place of meeting, that subscribe to its lunds and conform to its laws. " 2. That the legislative power shall be vested is an annual Conference of delegates from the several trades in the Asso ciation, iu the following proportion :—Trades having not less than 30, nor more than 150 paying members, may return one delegate. Trades with 150, and net more than 300 members, two delegates; and one additional delegate for every 300 members above that number. "3.

Not less than fourteen days' notice of all such special meetings shall be given to the delegates. " 7. That one month previous to the assembly of the annual Conference, the Central Committee shall cause to be prepared and issued a business paper, or programme of the matters in tended to be brought under the consideration of the Conference. Such programme shall be laid before the various trades, to enable them to give instructions to their delegates thereupon. But the Central Committee shall have the power of intro ducing subjects not included in the said paper, if agreed upon by three-fourths of the Committee, and such as appear to them tu require the immediate attention of the Conference. Notices of special sessions shall include the business for which they are called. "8. That the Conference shall have power to make and re vise the laws of the Association, subject to the following regula tions :—Na fundamental or important law shall be repealed or altered, without at least six months' notice having been given of such intended repeal or alteration, and it shall be concurred in by at least two-thirds of the Conference.

And such precept shall be signed by the President and Sec retar y of the Association. " 12. 'That each of the said tra des shah, seven days previous to Whit Monday, cause a return to be forwarded to the office of the Central Committee, certifying the delegate or delegates elected to represent such trades, and such return shall be signed by the chairman of the meeting a t which such election was held, and by the secretary of the trade. " 13. That, if any Delegate, by absence or other cause, should become, in the opinion of the tra de, unfit to continue its ' representative, the said trade may declare the office vacant. "14.

" That the Central Committee shall consist of a President, Vice-President, and eleven others. The President and the Vice-President to be elected wi , hout reference to their con nexion with any Trades Uni,m, but the eleven others to be bona fide members of a Trails Society." The Conference then aojourned till ten o'clock to-morrow. African Sugar, amounting to 524 bags, was submitted to pnb lie competition ; but being the produce of slave labour, and consequently subject to the high duty of 63s per cwt, it could not be taken for home consumption. COFFEE.—This afternoon Jamaica Coffee was purchased with more freedom, and 56 casks 16 barrels at public sale sold at ffrm rates. Of Zanzibar, subject to the 6d per lb duty, 20 bales were offered, and sold as follows :—Common pale rather broken and unclean at 49s to 49s 6d, rather better quality 511 to 535, sea damaged first class 46a to 48s 6d, and third class 325. 20 barrels of St. Domingo went at stiff rates and fetched 33s 6d for fine ordinary coloury. 51 bags Rio brought '29s 61 to 30s for ordinary, and 27s 6d to 29s for sea damaged first and second class. In Ceylon more busi ness was transacted privately, but not at better prices. CINNAMON.—The demand was very limited for inferior, coarse and jungle descriptions at the quarterly sales, which finished this afternoon, although there was a desire generally on the parts of the merchants to realise, and they submitted to a decline on the rates of the last quarterly sales of 2d to 4d, and accasionally of 5d to 6d per Id. RICE.—To-day Bengal was in excellent request, and several parcels were disposed of by private treaty at 11s 6d to 13e. At public sale 1,001 bags fetched very full rates. Foreign East India is wanted, but there is little to be had, and Madras is worth 103 to lis per cwt. For cleaned Rice prices are fully as high. SALTPETRE.—To-day two parcels of Calcutta, amounting to 2,092 bags were offered at public sale, and a part only sold at a decline on last week's rates of 3d to 6d per cwt. To-day there was a brisk demand for Pouchong, and seve ral parcels were sold at 9d per lb. for clean quality—the supply has become small. Congou of common and good ordinary quality met with a better demand at 9d to 10d per lb., but in the better kinds little business was done. Snarl's. —Jamaica Rum has been in good request, and prices continue on the rise for good and fine qualities, whilst inferior and middling kinds fully sustained the previous value. Leeward Island Rum has met with a ready sale at previous rates. Demerara is wanted, and some parcels have been sold at firm price. Calcutta is held with firmness. Brandy has met with little attention, and the stock being large, prices are still drooping. Hors.—The market is in a dull state for all descriptions, and prices continue on the decline, indeed, it is difficult to give accurate quotatio ns . Th e d uty f or th e Kingdom is esti mated at 200,0001. to 210,000/. It is calculated that 50,000 acres are in cultivation this year. OILS.—For S.Juthern rather lower rates have been ac cepted, which has occasioned the demand to be good. For Seal a further decline in prices has occurred. Cod Oil is dull of sale at former rates. Sperm has met with little attention, but no further decline in the value occurred. In Lard Oil business is checked by the stiff rates. Linseed Oil has been in request, and prices are firmer; for forward delivery a good deal has been done at similar rates. Rape Oil is little wanted. For Olive Oil prices rule low. In Cocoa Nut sales to a fair extent made at 271 to 291 per tun for common to fine quality. Prices keep up for Palm, and the demand has been good. TALLOW.—There has been a brisker demand for Russian on the spot, and prices have ruled firm. In the value of other kinds little variation has taken place, but the supply is less than it was ; at public sale 205 casks of New South Wales were sold at 39s to 40s far fine, 34s to 48s for low to good quality, and 200 casks of South America at 368 9d to 39s 3d for fair to fine. Town has Been in excellent request at 39s to 39s 6d per net cash. Mr. CORRY thought the amendment was brought forward at too late a period in the session, and he should distinctly oppose any alteration in the clause. The gallery was then cleared for a division. On strangers being admitted, t he numbers were— , . For the amendment Against it Majority The Bill was then read a third time and passed. JOINT-STOCK BANKS ( SCOILAND AND IRE- .. 26 ... -15 Mr. Thomas Duncombe left the Conference a little before twelve o'clock, being obliged to attend in his place in the House of Commons at that hour; and Mr. Evans, delega.e of the Pot teries, took the chair in his absence. He promised to preside again at ten o'clock to-morrow. LAND) BILL. On the order of the day for bringing up the report on this Bill being read, Mr. BOUVERIE objected to the hurry with which the Bill was carried through the House. The Scotch system of bank ing had been in existence for a great number of years, and had worked in a most satisfactory manner. He thought that at least more time should be given to consider the details of the measure. He would move that the Bill be recommitted that day six months. LYNN AND ELY RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The first General Meeting of the Shareholders in the Lynn and Ely Railway Company was held this morning at the London Tavern, Sir W. J. H. B. Fulkes, Bart., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The Secretary having read the ad vertisement convening the meeting. reed a report which stated that the meeting had been called in accordance with the provi sions of the Act of Parliament, authorising the construction of the line, which only received the Royal assent on the 30th of the last month, and consequently the Directors had not, for the want of time, been able to prepare a lengthy and detailed account of the position and prospects of the Company. There could, how ever, be no doubt that itwould prove amply remunerative, and the Directors looked forward to the time when it would he united to the Lynn and Dereham and Lynn and Huntingdon lines— in fact, they might state, that an arrangement had been made fur uniting the three lines when completed. The Provisional Committee, which consisted of the chairman, Francis Cress well, Esq., William Everard, Esq., Henry Charles Lacy, Esq., Foster Reynolds, Esq., and William Seppings, Esq., had been confirmed as Directors to manage the affairs of the Corn • pang under the Act of Parliament. The report was unanimously adopted on the motion of the Chairman ; and Mr. Bunce, of Mincing-lane, and Mr. Self, of Lynn, having been appointed auditors of the Company for the ensuing half-year, a vote of thanks was awarded to the Chair man and Directors, and the meeting terminated. The motion being seconded, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not agree that the Bill had been hurried through the House. He considered it had been fully discussed. In the absence of the other members of the Government, he could not advise any alteration in the Bill. He had, however, no objec tion to go into Committee at present, with the understanding that nothing beyond discussion should take place at present, and that any excision on controverted points should take place in a fuller House. Mr. P. M. STEWART supported the postponement. The people of Sc )tland, he considered, had a right to complain of the manner in which they had been treated on this question. There was no hurry for legislation. It would be time enough to do so next session. There was not the least danger that any harm would come to Scotland if the Bill were not passed this session. If they persisted in pushing forward this Bill, after the way in which they had treated another Bill on Friday last, they would be acting inconsistently, and doing serious injury to the people of Scotland. All he prayed for was postponement, that the Bill might be fully considered. After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the ExcitE QUER and Mr. I'. M. STEWART, the motion was withdrawn, and the Bill was recommitted. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) THE HAYMARKET THEATRE—" USED UP." MATHEWS V. WEBSTER. Mr. ROMILLY applied this morning, according to pre vious arrangement, on behalf of Sir. C. Mathews, the per fo: mer, for an injunction to restrain the defendant, the lessee of the Haymarket Theatre, from performing a piece called Used Up, which the plaintiff alleged was composed and written by him. The Learned Counsel in making the application ob served, that the Court would find as great and pointed contra dictions in the affidavits that had been filed on both sides as ever he had met with in his life. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—On what quesion ? Mr. ROMILLY—On (he question of who was the composer of the work. There were, however, certain points on which there was no difference. There was no difference as to the fact that late in the year 1843 it occurred to both the plaintiff and the defendant to bring out upon the English stage a piece founded upon a French one, called L'Homme Blaze. Mr. Mathews, the plaintiff, was at Paris when that piece was performed, and being struck with its merit, he communicated the fact to the defendant, Mr. Webster. That gentleman applied to a Mr. Bourcicault to translate the work, and ultimately it was arranged that Mr. -Bourcicault's transla lation should be submitted to Mr. Mathews, and that he should make such alterations in the piece as he thought necessary to adapt it to the Eng lish stage. Mr. Bourcicault in his translation of the piece denominated it Bored to Death, but Mr. Mathews, after making various alterations, christened it Used Up; and under that title it had been performed at the Haymarket Theatre. The principal question for the consideration of the Court would be,:and exceedingly difficult it was to determine, what was the amount of the alterations and revisions that had been made in the piece by the plaintiff, he asserting that those alterations and revisions were so very considerable as almost to amount to a re-writing of the play ; while, on the other hand, Mr. Webster and Mr. Bourcicault contended they were very slight. Mr. Webster stated, as the Learned Counsel understood, that it was the usual practice at Theatres, when a piece was about to be brought out to submit the part that was to be performed by any eminent actors to them, in order that they might make any alterations they thought best to suit their style of acting ; that had been done in this case with respect to Mr. Mathews ; but Mr. Webster asserted that the copyright of that piece still remained with him. The original manuscript of the piece was not in existence. Nothing was forthcoming but the copy that had been made by the copyist of the theatre from the translation of Mr. Bourcicault, with the alterations made by Mr. !Mathews. The VICE•CHANCELLOR inquired under what Act Mr. Romilly moved? Mr. ROMILLY—The 3d and 4th William IV., chap. 15, which was an Act to amend the laws relating to literary pro perty, and also under the sth and 6th of Victoria, chap. 45. The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired what was the position of the plaintiff ? Was he an actor alone, or both actor and author ? Sir. ROMILLY said both. There was nothing in the fact of a gentleman being an actor that prevented him being a com poser. Mr. Mathews had been the author of various dramatic pieces, which had met with great success on the British stage. He had also altered various dramatic pieces, and it was very probable that the name he had given them had greely tended to their popularity. The Vice-CHANCELLOR—You think, Mr. Romilly, that the title Usixt Up is more calculated to attract than Bored to Death?—(Laughter.) Mr. ROMILLY considered that it was a most important point in a dramatic piece to give it such a title as would induce the public to go and see it. Now there was no dispute about the title being Mr. Mathews's, and there was also no dispute that Mr. Mathews made additions to the piece—the only dispute was the extent of those additions. There was no dispute that from the 17th night of its performance to the 77th, the piece was announced in the bills as the piece of Mr. Mathews; for seventeen nights.it was acted without the name of the author. There was no dispute that the piece was now acted under the same title that Mr. Mathews gave it, and the only reason for its being acted with out the name of the author for seventeen nights was, that Mr. Mathews had told Mr. Webster, if it was successful, he should claim to be the author of it. Now, Mr. Webster stated that Mr. Mathews's name was given in the bill as the author of the piece while he was in Dublin ; that he was ignorant of it, and that Mr. Bourcicault stated to him that Mr. Mathews came to him and asked his leave to put his name to it, as it would do him good in the country, and that he, Mr. Bourecault, gave him permission to do so. Now that statement was denied by Mr. Matthews from the beginning to the end. Now, under such circumstances, the great question was, what was the quantum of alteration ? The Vice-CHANCELLOR wished to know whether the ques tion depended upon that alone. Mr. ROMILL± observed that he did not know that it did, but this was certain that as far as the alterations were con cerned Mr. Webster hcd no right to perform the piece contain ing them. The VICE.CHANCELLOR bad some doubt upon that point. If Mr. Webster had stated to Mr. Matthews that he had a French piece and had asked him to translate it and adapt it for the English stage, then he would have been the author, but the case would have been different if he had only asked him to touch it up. Mr. ROMILLY then proceeded at considerable length to read the affidavits of the ptan:tiff and defendant, the affidavits of various parties in support and against the application, and also the affidavit of Mr. Mathews to reply, and concluded by expressing a confident hope that the Court would grant the in junction he asked. Sir. ROGERS followed on the same side. Mr. WOOD appeared on behalf of Mr. Webster. He felt convinced that the Court would not for a moment entsrtain the application, for the Bill was totally inconsistent with the whole claim set up by the plaintiff. He had on that bill asserted that he was the whole composer of the piece, while now he admitted that there were some parts of it in Mr. Boureicault's handwriting. Upon a Bill so framed he submitted that the Court would not grant the partial relief asked by the present motion ; he thought, looking at all the facts that were stated, that it was impossible for the Court to come to any other conclusion than the the plaintiff was not the author of the work. The plaintiff asserted in his Bill that he was, but finding that that allegation would not benefit him, his Learned Counsel had most adroitly put.. forth ary.ther case, which was that he had made alterations in the work, and that those alterations entitled him to designate him self the author. The Learned Counsel thought if such a doc trine was to hold good, Garrick and Colly Cibber ;would have a good right to lay claim to the authorship of the works of Shakspeare. Now, Mr. Webster had paid Mr. Hour cicault for translating the work, and he had registered it also in the Dramatic Authors' Society, and what, he would ask, could have induced him to de so if the piece was the work of the plaintiff? Added to this, Mr. Matthews was a member of that Society, and if the piece was his, why did he not register it himself. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—He has registered it according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Woon.—Yes, sir, but that was because his counsel, Mr. Rogers, told him he could not file that bill without it; but he has never registered himself in the Society as the author. Now, on the part of Mr. Webster, there were no less than three acts of ownership, but not one on the part of the plaintive, until they came to the fact of the insertion of the plantive's name in the bills, and what was the cause of that? Why Mr. Webster went to Ireland, and while he was there the name of Mr. Mathews was put in the bill as the author of the piece, by the permission of Mr. Bour cicault, Mr. Mathews having stated to him that it would assist him in his country engagements. of Mr. Bourcicault would allow them to do so. As to the title, it would be preposterous to say that because the name o: a piece was changed by a party that he should therefore hare the copywright of the work. On the whole he felt no doubt that the Court, on looking at the whole case, would find, to use a cant phrase in the piece, that there was "Nothing in it."— (Laughter. ) Mr. BEVAN followed on the same side, submitting that no case had been made out on the Fart of the plaintiff, either for an injunction or for the trial of an action. Under these cir cumstances, he submitted that the motion ought to be refused with costs.f Sir. ROMILLY replied. He believed that it had been clearly shown that Mr. Mathews, according .to common parlance, was the author of the piece, and that he was entitled, therefore, to the interim injunction. When he stated this he admitted that Mr. Matthews must make out his title at law. The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment—ordering the mo tion to stand over, with liberty to the plaintiff to bring an action at law, and also with liberty to both parties to apply to the Court if it should be considered necessary. Leave was also given to the plaintiff to amend the bill. The Court was crowded with theatrical characters the whole day and the case was not over till four o'clock. After some slight discussion, in which Mr. BOUVERIE and Mr. P. M. STEWART took part, the several clauses of the Bill were read and agreed to. The House then resumed, and the report on the Bill was received. I'llE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) WHITEHALL, JULY 22, 1845. The Queen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting unto Sir Tomas Hast ings, Knight, Captain in the Royal Navy, the office of Store keeper of the Ordnance of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Viscount COURTNEY moved that the Chairman of the Select Committee on Group X be empowered, in the case of the London and York Railway, to report forthwith, and the further consideration to be taken on Friday next.—Agreed to. RAILWAY STANDING ORDERS. Lord G. SOMERSET rose to move that the following clauses be added to the Standing Orders :—To follow Standing Order 101 ;—A declaration, in writing, signed by the agent for the proposed Bill (or some one of such agents), shall be annexed to such petition, stating to which of the three classes of Bills such Bill in his judgment belongs ; and if the proposed Bills shall give power to effect any of the fol lowing objects, that is to say—power to take any lands or houses compulsorily, or to extend the time granted by any former Act, fcr that purpose. Power to levy tolls, rates, or duties, or to alter any existing tolls, rates or duties ; or to confer, vary, or extinguish any exemption from payment of tolls, rates, or duties, or any other right or privilege. Power to interfere with any Crown, Church, or Corporation property, held in trust for public or charitable purposes. Power to make a burial-ground. Power to relinquish any part of a work authorised by a former Act. power to divert into any intended cut, canal, reservoir, aque duct, or navigation, or into any intended variation, extension, or enlargement thereof respectively, any water from any ex isting cut, canal, reservoir, aqueduct, or navigation, whether directly or derivatively, and whether under any agree ment with the proprietors thereof, or otherwise ; power to make, vary, extend, or enlarge any cut, canal, re servoir, aqueduct, or navigation ; power to make, vary, extend, or enlarge any railway. The said declaration shall state which of such powers are given by the Bill, and shall indicate in which clauses of the Bill (referring to them by their number,) such powers are given, and shall further state that the Bill does not give power to effect any of the ob jects enumerated in this order, other than those stated in the declaration. If the proposed Bill shall not give power to effect any of the objects enumerated in the preceding order, the said declaration shall state that the Bill does not give power to effect any such object. Amend standing orders 103 and 128. Sir G. CLERK also moved the following addition to Stand ing Order 23 a :—Together with the line of the projected rail way, laid down on a map nut less than that of the ordnanoe map os England ; and also a written statement, setting forth the course of the railway, its capital, its maximum fares and charges, and generally all the principal provisions of the pro. posed Bill. Lord G. SGMERSET explained that the principal altera tion would be the increasing the deposits on all railways, ex cepting those which had been considered in the House in the past session, from 5 to 10 per cent. Sir R. FERGUSON objected to this part of the motion, which would have the effect of raising the deposits. He con sidered this would operate mast injuriously on those lines that were already projected. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said that some step of the kind was necessary to protect the public from the crude speculations that were before it. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY supported the same view of the question. Dr. BOWRING said that it would be greatly in favour of those railroads which were already in existence, and against those which were only as yet in a state of projection; and he thought it was a needless imposition on this pecies of property. Mr. E. B. DENISON said that the institution of this order would be an unjust, if not a tyrannical oppression on those who had signed the share list under the faith of the existing standing orders, and who calculated on the payment of a certoin sum, and now were called urn to pay one much larger. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said that the exemp tions to the evil effects of the order would be so numerous that it was not worth while to consider those whose interests might be affected. Mr. GREEN said that the objection might be obviated by exempting all signed and registered shareholders who had already paid their deposits. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said that if the general feeling of the House was against him, he must give way, but he would do so entirely contrary to his own opinion and in clination. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and on our return to the gallery we found that the amendment was negatived without a division. (LEFT BITTING.) MRS. HOFLAND.—The will of the late Mrs. Bar bara Hofland, of Richmond, Surrey, widow of Mr. Thomas Chris topher Hofland, landscape painter, was proved on the 12th instant, and granted to Miss Ann Hurdis, the sole executrix, according to the tenour of the will, she being directed therein to arrange her little property, which the testator has disposed of in small pecu niary bequests to her relatives, together with some specific bequests of plate and other articles. Her library of books (and amongst them are some scarce volumes of which only a limited number of copies were printed), she has particularised in a separate list, and left the undermentioned persons, viz. :—Mr. Francis Hoole, Miss Hoole, Mr. and Mrs. Barr, Miss B. Dixon, Mrs. Wreath, and others; and to Mr. T. R. Hofland she has left all the works of art, and half the profit arising from the " British Angler's Manuel," written by her father. One hundred pounds, in the hands of the Earl of Egremont, she leaves to the four children of Mrs. Birk. Leaves to her kind friend, Sir John Phillipart, the bust of her late husband. Her servant to be rewarded by her executrix. She leaves an estate, consisting of several cottages, to the son of her late husband. Her personal estate sworn under 800/. The will is in her own handwriting, dated December 9, 1843, but as the sig nature was not at the end of the will, but at the conclusion of the list of books annexed to the will, the opinion of the Court was taken. She died on the 9th of November last. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE RIVER.- Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Hero of Waterloo Inn, Waterloo-road, on the body of Ann Lockyer, aged 36 yeurs, who with her husband, Edward Lockyer, were unfortunately drowned on the afternoon of Tuesday last. The particulars of the occurrence appeared in our journal a few days since. The body of Edward Lockyer was picked up on the same afternoon near the spot where the accident occurred, and at the inquest held before the same coroner at the Red House, Battersea, after a full investiga. tion of the facts, a verdict of, accidental death was returned. The body of the deceased Mrs. Ann Lockyer was not found until Saturday last, when it was discovered floating off Waterloo-bridge. In this case a similar verdict was returned. ROYAL CALEDONIAN CURLING CLUB.—The annual general meeting of this club was held in the Royal Exchange Coffie.house yesterday. There was a large attendance of mem bers of the representative committee. Mr. Campbell, of Boquhan, senior Vice-President, in the chair. About ten uew clubs were admitted to the Royal Club ; and the secretary reported a very prosperous state of the funds. The Royal Club now comprehends 144 local clubs, consisting in all of 7,000 members. A large number of members of the Royal Club afterwards dined together in the Royal Exchange Coffee.house, Mr. Durham Weir, of Bog head, In the chair, supported by Captain 0. Dalgleish, Rev. Mr. Ramsay, of Gladsmuir, Mr. Brown, of Redhall, Dr. Arnott, of Artery, Mr. Hogarth, banker, Cupar, &c.; Mr. Williamson, banker, Kingston, croupier. The party passed the evening with all the usual good fellowship of a meeting of keen curlers.—Edinburgh Evening Post of Saturday. BAIT FOR A CROCODILE.—It IS not long since, said the katsheff, that a man from Berber settled here, and was well known to all of us. One morning he led his horse to the Nile to water, and fastened the rope by which he held it round his arm, and while the animal was quenching his thirst he knelt down to prayer. At the moment when he was lying with his face upon the ground a crocodile attacked the unhappy man, swept him into the water with his tail, and swallowed him. The terrified horse exerted all its strength to run away, and as the rope, which was at tached to the arm of his dead master, in the stomach of the croco dile, did not snap, and he could not disengage himself from it, the affrighted animal not only pulled the crocodile out of the river, but dragged it over the sand to the door of its own stable, where it was soon killed by the family, who hurried to the spot, and afterwards found the dead body of the victim entire in the belly of the mon ster.—Egypt under Mehemet Ali. Last week, William M. Macdonald, Esq., of St. Martin's and Garth estates, Perthshire, and recent purchaser of the beautiful and extensive property of Rossie, in the parish of Craig, in the neighbourhood of Montrose, paid his first visit to his new domain. On the occasion numerous flags were displayed in the village of Ferryden, and the parishioners rejoice in the prospect of seeing, ere long, the splendid castle tenanted once more, and that by a gentleman having such a high character.—Perthshire Courier. GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH FOR 100/.—A novel match has been made at the White Hart, Drury-lane, in which Molloy (the well-known pedestrian), and his son are backed against Powell and his son (also celebrated men), to walk for twelve hours continuously, the distance covered by father and son on the one side to be calculated against the ground travelled over by the competitors on the other aide; and whichever accomplishes the greater distance to be the winners. OLD HUNDRETII.—The music in harmony of four parts of this venerable church tune was composed by Claude Goudimel, about the year 1544. The composer, who was chapel master at Lyons, France, died in 1572, a victim to religious opi nion. The harmony of this hymn has since been altered, as may be seen by comparing the same, as arranged in the present collec tions of church music, with the original. It is a popular tnusico historical error, that Luther was the composer of this choral.— Musical World. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE. — Yesterday the mar rriage of the Lady Mary Agar, only daughter of the Earl of Nor. mental), with the Earl Nelson, waa solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. His Royal highness the Duke of Cambridge's visit to Mr. Sloane Stanley, at Paultons, near Romsey, was for the purpose Of taking the usual oaths and other formalities on his appointment as Lord Warden of the New Forest, in the room of the late Right Hon. Sturges Bourne. _ BATTERSEA FAlR. — Notwithstanding the applica tion to the magistrates on Saturday, at 'Wandsworth, to prevent a fair being held in Battersea.fields, the proprietors of exhibitions, booths, &c., were in no way dismayed, and the sports at twelve o'clock yesterday commenced, which will be continued for the three following days. The attendance of persons was considerably greater than was anticipated, the proceedings before the magistrates having eared the purpose of an advertisement. 1'01:T83101:TH COMMON MADE. .

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock. Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills, which were severally read a first time, on the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE. DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILWAY. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presen t e d a petition, signed by the High Sheriff and the Grand Jury of the county of Galway in favour of this Bill, and stating that if the undertaking was nst carried out, that great injury would be inflicted on that part of the county. The Earl of BESBOROUGH moved that the adjourned debate on this Bill be resumed. The Noble Earl then pro ceeded to draw the attentien of their Lordships to the report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the allegations brought against the Directors of the Co m p an y. It a pp ea red from their report, that the Director s had not been in the habit of inquiring into the condition of those who applied to them for shares ; that out of 971 applications, 863 were granted without any inquir y, an d t h a t 29 on ly were impede the progress he of the Bill, and in moving for the i nqu i ry which had been instituted, nquired into. As he had s a id, h e h a d no wish to had no other object in view than that the allegations contained in the petition of Mr. Pimm might be inquired into by a Committee of their Lord ships' House. The report w hi c h t h ey ma d e t o the House stated that the all egat i ons t h at f rau d h a d i e c s , s toltshow i D i f r.p y m m , been used to obtain the n ecessary uumber of s i gnatures to the subscription contract h a d b een proved before them. None of their Lordships who had read the ,report could hold any other opinion than that gro ss an d systemat i c f rau ds had been committed to a very great extent. I n page 9 t h ey wou ld find that the Company had resorted t o th e t oo p re v a lent prac tice of putting the names of respect a bl e an d we ll-k now n indivi duals in their prospectus for the pu r p ose of m aking a show. If parties allowed their names to be put in the pros- Pulie taken see that its affairs were c arr i e d out i n a proper manner . The Noble Lord then proceed e d to quote extrac t s from the evidence abefor company, they ought, at least, to e the Select Committee on the peti t that th e a l legat i ons conta i ne d i n t h e petition n t of relative t o th e a ll otmen t of shares, a nd concluded by declaring his intention to persist in his mo tion that the further consideration of the Bill be postponed for three months. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE admitted that the Noble Earl had made a very skilful speech, but really i f t h e i r Lord ships looked carefully ints it, they would find that it bore very little upon the &legations of the petititioners; that the Directors had sancctioned the forgery of names to their contract deed. He could see no reason why their Lordships should attempt to fix upon ;his particular the stamp of a character which was equally applicable to several other Bills that had passed, and several that were now before the H ouse , b eca use they had framed regulations which afforded facilities for persons committing frauds against the directors, against the company, and if they could, against the public. Neither the !Noble Lord nor the evidence said a word which could possibly show that any man had been induced against his will to sign the contract deed, or that went to show that any measure, whether directly or indirectly, had been taken by the directors for that purpose. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock precisely, when the orders of the day were proceeded with. The following Bills were read a third time and passed : The Court of Chancery 13i11, the Stock in Trade Bill, the Removal of Paupers Bill. The Apprehension of Offenders Bill went through Com mittee, and was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow at twelve. Committee, The report of the Municipal Districts a (Ireland) Bill was received, and went throughand the Bill was or dered to be read a third time to-morrow at twelve, GAMES AND WAGERS BILL. The report of this Bill was brought up. After Mr. Q. DICK had p ro p osed th e insertion of two clauses, both of which were n egatived witho u t a d i vision, the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow at tw e l ve . SMALL DEBTS BILL. Sir J. GRA HAM moved the third reading of this Bill, when Mr. H. BERKELEY objected to the seventh clause, on the ground that the Secretary of State would be put in pos session of an unconstitutional power, by being en abled to increase or diniinish indefinitely the number of courts. He thought, however, there was a great deal of good in the Bill, and should be glad to see it pass, provided that the objection he had stated to the power which would be possessed by the Secretary of State were removed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that he had, in the clause re ferred to by the Hon. Gentleman, struck out the name of the Secretary of State and substituted the name of her Majesty. He trusted with that the Hon. Alember would be satisfied. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS BILL. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the Customs' Laws Repeal Bill was r ea d a th i rd time and passed, as was the Customs Management Bill and the Customs' Duties Bill. WAREHOUSING OF GOODS BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. BRITISH VESSELS BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, Captain PECHELL hoped that s ome improvement i n t h e transmission of letters to the Scilly Island would be effected. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Shipping and Navigation Bill, the Trade of British Possessions Abroad Bill, the Customs Bounties and Allowances Bill, the Isle of Man Trade Bill, the Smuggling Prevention Bill, were read a third time and passed, without discussion. CUSTOMS REGULATION BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. WAWN trusted that vessels returning to a British port in ballast, after landing a cargo at another British port, would he exempted from the pilotage dues exacted from foreign ves sels. The Hon. Member moved the insertion of certain words to give effect to this distinction. Captain PECHELL seconded do amendment, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH.— A most important and interesting trial of the sustaining and other service properties of the blocks used in the Royal Navy, and a patent invention of Mr. H. N. Brewer, of Bermondsey, has been made in this dockyard during the last few days, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, under the superintendence of the Master-Rigger, and in the presence of the patentee and all the chief officers of the dock-yard, the result. of which has proved beyond a doubt the vast svperiority of Mr. Brewer's patent over the old mode of mane facture at present pursued in our dockyards. The plan at present adopted in cutting blocks tor the navy is cutting them the same way as the grain of the wood runs, whereby the probability of splitting or breaking when a strain is upon them is very manifest. Mr. Brewer's plan ant: patent consists in cutting his block the reverse way of the grain ; consequently the adhesive qualities of the block as well as the sustaining power are considerab ly increased, as the following tabl of the result of the trial (which is copied from the Master-Rigger's report) will prove at a glance : MR. BREWER'S PATENT, 7 Z 7 -... cs Description of Weight suspended, Result.

Thus _it is clear, Mr. Bre' patent is not only more durable, but possesses a sustaining power nearly double that of the Government block, as, from the above table, we find in the second trial with a single block, leather cogged, with wire strap, Mr. Brewer's block sustained a weight of upwards of five tens, with no more damage than merely straightening the hook that supported it, whereas the Government block, with only half that weight attached to it, broke, as it did in the great majo rity of the trials. RAILWAYS. Yesterday a return was issued by order of the House of Commons of the names of all Railway Bills or projects on which Committees have made reports (for or against such Bills or projects) at variance with the reports made upon the same by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade ; with copies of all special reports made by such Committees in reference to statements contained in the reports of the Board of Trade. The following is the list of such Railway Bills and projects—the special reports occupy twelve folio pages of print :- 1. Belfast and Ballymena Railway. 2. Brighton and Chichester (Portsmouth Extension).: 3. Direct London and Portsmouth. 4. Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway (with branch to Kells). 5. Ely and Huntingdon Railway. 6. Exeter and Crediton Railway. r 7. Grand Junction Railway ( Potteries branch). 8. Great North of England _(Clarence and Hartlepool Junction). 9. Great Western Railway (Ireland) (Dublin to Dlullingar and Athlone). 10. Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth. 11. Leeds, Dewsbury, and Manchester. 12. Leeds and Thirsk. 13. Leeds and West Riding Junction. 14. Liverpool and Manchester. 15. Londonderry and Coleraine. 16. Londonderry and Enniskillen. 17. Monmouth and Hereford. 18. Newry and Enniskillen. 19. North Woolwich Railway. 20. Oxford and Rugby Railway. 21. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton. 22. Runcorn and Preston Brook. 23. South Wales Railway. THE RECRUITING SERVICE. The following general order haa just been promulgated for the guidance of the officers and parties on the recruit.. ing service :- 1. The 36th clause of the Mutiny Act requiring that a per son offering himself to serve in her Alsjesty a land forces must be attested at the place of enlistment, and by a magistrate residing in its immediate vicinity, the attention of officers employed on the recruiting service is particularly directed to this enactment, in order that its provisions may be rigidly ad hered to, and all detached parties from the recruiting stations instructed accordingly. Although it is admitted that the system of detatching small parties to towns at a distance from their head-quarters carries with it much responsibility on the part of the re cruiting officer, yet it is considered that, with the exercise of due care and caution, the parties detached might with little risk, in most cases, cause the recruits to be attested, after medical inspection, without first sending them to the te cruiting station; but to meet cases in which it may be eon sidered absolutely necessary that the recruits should be seen by the officer in charge of the party previously to their being attested, the Honourable Board, by letter dated June 27, 18.15, have been pleased to sanction marching allowance being granted to the recruits and the soldiers conducting them for the number of days they may be actually billetted upon and dieted by innkeepers, or the actual expense of the conveyance, if not exceeding the amount of the marching allow ance from the place of enlistment, the claims for which are to be kept quite distinct, so as not to interfere at all with the charges previously sanctioned f , )r marching allowance, and pre pared on a separate voucher, the Hon. Board's order of June 27, 1t145, authorising the expense being invariably quoted; and those charges only will be admitted in the public accounts which are certified by the Deputy Adjutant-General to have been unavoidable, and incurred for tiie benefit of the service. 3. As it is distinctly understood by officers in charge of re cruiting parties and those having beating orders, that when parties are detached from their stations to places specified in their routes, the parties so detached are not to send their de tachments to other places in such manner as to incur any charge to the public, there being no authority by which such detach ments are sanctioned: COURTS OF CONSERVANCY.—Yesterday three Courts of Conservancy, for the c 'unties of Surrey, Essex, and Kent, were held before the Lord Mayor, attended by Sheriffs Hun ter and Sidney, Aldermen Sir C. Marshall, Musgrove, Hooper, Humphery, the Recorder, Town-clerk, and other City authorities. The first, for Surrey, at the Town-hall, had been postponed from the previous Monday, in consequence of the non-attendance of several jurors. On the presentation of the jury being read, it showed that a great obstruction was occasioned by the floating pier at Lambeth; that from the complaints of the inhabitants in the vicinity a great nuisance was caused by the London Gas Company, who are accustomed frequently, in the dead of the night, to let off into the river a quantity of noxious and offensive fluid, which frequently caused such an intolerable stench as to drive many of the inhabitants from their beds, while the conti nuance of such a practice must inevitably injure, if nut totally destroy, the fishing in that part of the river. The jury further expressed great regret that such nuisances as Putney and Battersea-bridges were still allowed to remain, without the slightest attempt to improve them being made, The Recorder informed the jury that their presentment would be referred to the proper quarter. The Court was then dis solved, and the Lord Mayor proceeded in state, as before, to the Swan at Stratford, to receive the presentment of the Essex jury, from whom, however, a slight obstruction at Bow Creek was only noticed. The civic cortege then pro ceeded to Blackwell, and embarking on board his Lord ship's barge, attended by Captain Fisher (the harbour master), proceeded across the river to the Crown and Sceptre, Greenwich, where the jury for the county of Kent had assembled. This jury presented the pier at Erith as an obstruction, and, further, that the navigation of the river, off Wo. , lwich Dockyards, was very materially impeded by the great number of her Majesty's vessels which were moored of that spot. The jury having been here also assured that their presentment should have due attention, were, as in all the above cases, dismissed with thanks by the Learned Recorder in a neat speech. Tho Court then partook of a banquet,te including the accustomed delicacy of white bait, and h Lord Mayor and suite afterwards returned to London in the state barge, which was towed by one of the Watermen ' steamers. ARRIVAL OF THE 13T11 FOOT FROM INDIA.—Early yesterday morning, the ship Cornwall arrived in the river off Gravesend from India, with a portion of the 13th Regiment of Foot, which, according to the list, has been on service in the Indian territories for more than twenty-two years, having left this countr% in January, 1823. This regiment, it wilt be remembered, greatly distinguished itself during the recent Indian war, more especially at Affghanistan, Ghuznee, J . ellalabad, and Caubul. I n t h e COUTO of the day the tro o p s were disembarked, and proceeded to the depot of the corps. N EW IRON STEAMER.—Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., have launched from their building -yard at Blacktvall, for the Peninsular and Oriental Company, a new iron steamer called the Madrid, decidedly the finest vessel that has yet left the Or. chard Wharf. Her burden is 450 tons; length, 160 feet between the perpendiculars; width, 28 feet; depth of hold, 15 feet. She is to be propelled by a pair of Miller and Co.'s beam-engines, of 140. horse power, and is intended, we believe, to ply between Ceylon and Hong-Kong. ~..4. -'" ETON COLLEGE ELECTION. Erox, JULY 28. —" Election Monday," as us 1, attract" an immense number of distinguished persons to the College, many of whom had been educated at Eton, from Oxford, Cam bridge, and the metropolis, and from the more distant parts of the kingdom. From an early hour in the morning until nearly noon the visitors continued _to arrive at this ancient seat of learning. A splendid breakfast was given by the Rev. Dr. , Hawtrey, the head master, at his residence in Weston's-yard, to a party of upwards of 1 60, including the Chevalier and Madame Bunsen, Lady King, Lord Clive, Granville Penn, Esq., Lady Hampson, &c. The speeches cortnneneed in the upper school, shortly after eleven o'clock, immediately upon the arrival of the Reverend Mr. Hodgson, the Provost of Eton, who was accompanied by the Rev. Dr.;Thackeray, the Provost of King's College, Cam bridge ; Dr. Latham, and the Rev. Mr. Sampson, Fellovreer King's; the two Posers ; the Rev. Septimus Grover, the Vic*- • Provost of Eton, the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, and Rev. R. Okes, thy head and lower masters, and nearly the whole of the authori ties of the College. The extensive and raised galleries at the north end of the spacious apartment and the area were crowded with the numerous distinguished visitors and their fami lies. Amongst those who were present we observed Viscount Emlyn, Viscount Clive, the Chevalier, Madame, and Miss Bunsen; the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Hobart, Dean of Windsor ; the Hon. and Rev. John Saville, D. A. S. Davies, E.q., M.P. ; W. Ewart, Etq., M.P. ; W. Tattoo Egerton, Esq., M. P. ; Rev. W. Canning, Thomas Brccklebank, Esq. ; Rev. Mr. Prettyman, Lady Hampson and family ; Rev. E. Coleridge, Rev. W. G. Cookesley, Rev. E. H. Pickering. Rev. Harry Dupins, Rev. Mr. Moore, Rev. T. Carter, Rev. C. 0. Goodford, Rev. G. Bethel, Rev. G. R. Green, Rev. J. F. Plumtre, Rev. C. J. Abraham, Rev. W. A. Carter, Rev. F. A. Dumford, Rev. G. .1. Dupins, Rev. J. Wilder, Rev. E. Balston, Rev. J. E. George, Rev. Stephen Hawtrey, Rev. C. Luxmore, Rev. W. L. Eliot. Rev. J. W. Hawtrey, Granville Penn, Eq., Major Beat, E. Jesse, Esq., Colonel' Cannon, Capt. Phillips, Captain Randall, Captain Brooke, W. H. Whitbread, Esq., &c. The speeches were then proceeded with. The whole were admirably delivered. At the conclusion of the speeches the numerous company retired from the upper school and proceeded to the long cham ber, which was tastefully ornamented, as usual, with boughs and evergreens; the fifty beds which this room contains being covered with elegantly embroidered green counterpanes, which were presented to the College by the Duke of Cumberland is 1735. Ti.e election banquet was served in the College-hall to the guests of the Provost, numbering upwards of seventy, at three o'clock. The splendid silver model of the college , _ upwards , of two feet in length, which was Presented is the Institution by his late Majesty William IN., was displayed upon a pe- . destal in the centre of the hall. A large portion of the valuable silver plate, consisting of ancient. salvers, antique. drinking cups, curiously wrought flagons, S‘c., belonging to the college, was also displayed upon a large sideboard near the principal table, at the centre of which were seated the Provosts of Eton and King's College, Cambridge, and oppo; site to them the two Posers (according to ancient custom), supported on either side by the Vice-Provost and the Head master ; the two Provosts, the Rev. Messrs. Betbell and Carter, being seated at either end of the banquet tstrle. At the concla'ion of the banquet the Provost and his - distin= guished guests retired to the electioo-hall to partike •of wine and dessert. • THE R OYAL C ONTINENTAL EXCURSION.-By . vate letters from Cologne received yesterday, we leans that her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert are expected to arrive at Stolzenfels on the 15th of the ensuing month, and not on the Bth, as at first anticipated. Her Majesty remains five days It the royal residence, and then proceeds by Wuraburg and BM burg to Coburg, where, as we have before stated, the Palace Rose nau has been prepared for her Majesty's reception. It may not be uninteresting to state that in that royal abode Prince Albert ras born. • LIFE BOATS.—The Norfolk and Suffolk Associa tions were established by subscriptions in the respective counties, for the support of life boats built for those associations. A lift boat costs about 3001. to complete her outfit, and her wear and tear is considerable. These boats vary in tonstiue,tion, being adapted to the nature of the sea, or their particular locality. The crews average fifteen men each ; and though gallant hearts to man the boats are never wanting, subscriptions frequently are; this it is hoped, however, arises only from want of their necessity being known. At Yarmouth regatta, on the 29th inst., a series of Wale will be made, to test their various qualities, and encourage the brave men that man them.—Norfolk Chronsek. UPSETTING OF A SAILING BOAT WITH SIT PER SONS ON BOARD.—On Sunday morning, a party of young men, consisting of six printers, proceeded in a sailing boat down the river for a day's amusement. On arriving off the Plumstead marshes, the wind blew violently from the sout►_west, and as not any of the party properly understood the management of a sailing boat, the rope, which should have been slack, got into a knot, and before a knife could be procured to cut it, the boat was upset, and all the six young men were immersed in the water. Fortunately they could swim, and there being two fishing boats close by, they succeeded in getting them on board, having only sustained a severe ducking. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. PORTSMOUTH (ATMOSPHERIC) DIRECT- itAILWAY. (Continued from our Third Edition of last night.) The Earl of HARDWICKE had no objection to do anything that the House thought fit. The Committee had no sort of interest in the undertaking, nothing to influence them in the performance of their duties, ex cept a desire to serve the public.—(Loud cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND made no such charge against the Committee. He simply thought that they had acted erroneously. The motion, as amended, was then carried. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. A messenger from the House of Commons brought up several Bills. PUBLISHING THE LIVES OF PEERS-RE PEAL OF STANDING ORDER. Lord CAMPBELL rose to move the motion of which he had given notice. It was that the standing order with respect to the publishing of the lives of Peers, without the consent of their relative', heirs, and executors, be repealed. The Noble Lord said he would briefly go into the origin of this standing order. It took its origin, in 1720, when Mr. Edward Curll gave notice of Ms in tention of publishing the life of the Duke olf Buck ingham. The notice appeared as an advertise ment in a London newspaper, when the family of the Noble Duke just dect ased interfered, and they ap plied to their Lordships' House to interfere to stop the publication, on the ground of its being a libel. The appli cation was made on the 22d of January, 1722, ac cording to the new style. It was complained of the work announced that it would contain particular& of the public and private life of Lis Grace, with a copy of his last will and testament. the House ordered that Ed ward Curll du attend the house on to-morrow. On the ftllowing day Edward Curll attended at ai+e bar, and, after an examination, he was ordered to withdraw. On his withdrawal, a resolution was put and agreed to, ren dering it a breach of privilege to publish The life of any Peer without the consent of their relatives ; thiat resolu: - - tion was entered on the rolls of the House. Edward Curll was then called in and reprimanded by the Lord Chancellor. The matter did nut terminate here. A Committee was appointed, and the subject being duly investigated by them, on their report being' present( d, a standing order, embodying the prin ciple of the previous resolution, was duly passed. No attempt was made to enforce this standing order till 17:35, when Edward Curll again ex cited the a!arm of the House. An intimation tsp. peared on the 12th of May, 1735. in the Daily Post Boy, announcing " Mr. Pope's Literary Correspondence for thirty years, being a collection of letters written to hive by the Earl of Halifax, Lord Ferrers, and others ; pub lished by Edward Curll, and sold by all booksellers." Instructions were given to the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod forthwith to seize all copies of the advertised work, and that Edward Curll the publisher of the book, and J. Wilford the printer of the newspaper, be summoned to the bar of the House. These parties attended and were examined and severally reprimanded for what they bad done. After they retired, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod informed the House that he had seized 503 of the book in question at the house of Mr. Curl!. No attempt had for many years been made to enforce the standing order, and as it had not only fallen into disrepute, but was entirely unnecessary, and contrary to the spirit of the times, he should move that it be repealed. The motion was agreed to without a division. The Duke of BUCKINGHAINI presented a petition from the gentry, and clergy, and inhabitants of Ayles bury, praying their Lordships to take into consideration the law relating to the punishment of death, with a view to its abolition. The Bishop of NORWICH presented a petition for the better observance of the Sabbath. SYRIA. Lord ABERDEEN took the opportunity of laying on the table the papers moved for by the Noble Duke op posite (Beaumont) relating to Syria. The Duke of BEAUMONT said that he would rut a question to the Noble Earl on Thursday next, relating to the recent events in Syria. COMMONS INCLOSURE BILL. The House resolved itself into Committee on this gill. On the Ist clause being proposed, Lord PORTMAN objected to the clause. lie consi dered it would have the effect of throwing all the waste lands into the hands of the Government. Lord STANLEY thought the Noble Lord did not understand fully the nature of the clause. The Commis sioners could take no steps unless two-thirds of the par ties interested in the inclosure were assenting parties. It was necessary that ono-of the Commissioners should be a responsible Minister of the Crown, and. therefore the Government had named the Chief Commissioner of the Woc;ds and Forests s s one of them. The other Commissioner would have duties assigned hint indepen dent of that o ffice. Local valuers would be appointed by the Commissioners to estimate the value of the lands required. e elatrie, with some amendments, %%as then agreed to. Clauses up to 11 were agreed to without mosition. Clause 12 being proposed, Lord STANLEY moved the omission of the words, •'all the forests belonging to the Crown," and the sub stitution of " the Ness Forest" and the "Forest of Dean," which was agreed to. Clause 13 was ugreed to ; and on clause 14 being pro posed, The Earl of FITZHARDINGE inquired how the Go vernment defined village greens, and Low they would be influenced by the Bill. Lord STANLEY said power was given to the Com missioners to take any existing town greens in lieu of other land still appropriated to the recreation of the people. They would, however, be devoted to the sane purposes as now. They would be applied to no other. Clauses up to 19 were agreed to. In answer to a question from Lord YORTMAN, The L 0111) CHANCELLOR said that in reference to the appointment of reviewers or guardians over land in a parish to be inclosed, the owner of which might be an infant, the Commissioners would appoint such guar dian, but they would have no interest in doing so. Lord STANLEY said the only object of the clause was to take care there was no interest unrepresented. Clauses 19 and 20 were then agreed to. 23;; 91 65 61 130
