In the very brief but excellent speech of Earl FITZ - WILLIAM last evening on the measures brought forward by the Government for Ireland, there is one fact stated which he recommended to the attention of Sir ROBERT INGLIS, who denounces the Academies' Bill as " a gigantic scheme of godless education." The public will infer from the words of the representative of Oxford, that religion is taught to all the pupils in that University, and what is the fact ? No religion is taught in the colleges, with the exception of that taught to Divinity students, and what is more, the high est authorities of the University had recommended the lay students not to attend the lectures of the theological professor. In fact, the custom has long been 01.- solete, and Sir ROBERT INGLIS knew that as well as Earl FITZWILLIAM. His opposition to the measure cannot be founded on religious grounds, and we are therefore to infer that his acceptation of the word "godless" is very different from that used by other men. It is quite re freshing to turn from the political bigotry of the Mem ber for Oxford, to the liberal views, sound sense, and, at the same time, Christian doctrines of one of the most upright and religious Members of the House of Peers. " Infidelity," said he, " was much moro likely to arise from the hostile spirit which actuated one sect against another, and if they could succeed in educating the youths of different sects together—in inducing them to take their recreations and enjoyments together, they would go a long way in destroying that spirit of intole rance with which one sect regarded another." The House of Lords met at Four o'clock, for th® pur pose of hearing the Royal Assent given by commission to certain Bills. Their Lordships re-assembled at Five. The Marquis of NORIWANBY presented a petition from the parishioners of Oakingham complaining that they were prevented from repairing their parish church by the conduct of the Dean of Salisbury, itho united in his ow•n person the incongruous offices . of Patron, Ordinary, and Rector. A presentation of petitions against the game-laws by Lord CAMPBELL gave rise to an animated conversation on the subject of those laws, in which Lord DACRE Lord ITATRERTON, and the Earl of STRADBROKE t oo k part. Earl FITZWILLIAM, in presenting a petition against the Maynooth Bill, took occasion to state his dissent from the prayer of the petition, and his approval of the grant to Maynooth, which he looked upon as the pay ment of an instalment of the debt due to the Irish people His Lordship also expressed his approval of the Minis terial plan for establishing colleges in Ireland, and, in allusion to those who called it a scheme of Godless edu cation, said that they were persons of more enthusiasm than religion, who mistook names for things, and who must have forgotten their own university career ; for he would venture to declare that few of the lay members of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ever attended the theological lectures, and at Oxford, on a recent occa sion, the higher powers of the University had recom mended students not to attend the lectures of the Pro fessor of Di►inity. Several Bills having been forwarded a stage, their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons assembled at Four o'clock. The motion for bringing up the report on the Grand Junction Railway Bill being opposed by Mr. Bream)°, a short discussion ensued; after which, on a division, the Bill was rejected, the numbers being— For bringing up the report 73 Against it Majority against the Bill --133 Lord HOWICK suggested the propriety of introducing some measure for regulating the charges on railways. Sir G. CLERK thought the question worthy the con sideration of the Board of Trade, but would not be pre pared to offer anything beyond a suggestion. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the Board ofTrade should take up the subject. On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, the Se lect Committee was nominated to consider the case of HOWARD v. GOSSETT. Mr. B. OSBORNE moved for a return of all monies 'derived from rents of college lands, endowments, be quests, fee 3 on matriculations, and taking of degrees ; specifying the amount of income paid therefrom to the senior and junior fellows, professors, scholars, and other officers of Trinity College, Dublin. In answer to Sir T. FREMANTLE, who expressed a hope that the motion would be withdrawn, Mr. OSBORNE said, that he wished to see Trinity Col lege thrown open to all religious denominations, and should certainly press his motion, as he considered that such must be the result of inquiry. The motion, which was seconded by Mr. WARD, was supported by Mr. HUME, Mr. WANBURTON, Mr. EWART, M. SHEIL, Mr. BELLEW, Mr. M. GIBSON, Mr. T. DuricomnE, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Mr. BRIGHT; and opposed by Mr. SHAW, Sir T. FREMANTLE, Sir R. INGLIS, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. COLQUHOUN. On a division the motion was negatived, the numbers being—For the motion, 53 ; against it, 82—majority against the motion, 29. The adjourned debate on the Maynooth Bill was then resumed by Sir H. W. BARRON, who supported the measure. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. Law son, the Hon. H. Cholmondeley, Mr. Ffolliott, Sir D. Norreys, Mr. Godson, Colonel Rawdon, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Gaskell, Mr. Bellew, and Sir, R. Inglis; after which, upon the motion of Colonel Verner, the debate was adjourned. _ In a very recent article we gave an outline of Captain BERKELEY'S argument of Friday evening last against the absurd practice of sending out our ships of the line to sea with a different complement in time of peace from that which they are allowed in time of war, though the canvass to be carried, and their number of guns and their weight of metal should be exactly the same in the one case as in the other. It is remarkable that when Captain BERKELEY was speaking to the fact of the Albion carry ing her proper complement of from 800 to 830 men on board the experimental squadron, whereas she had been dispatched to Lisbon, where there lay a large squadron of the French navy, and at a period in which our hostile collision with France appeared to be almost inevitable, short of that complement by 100 men, he was inter rupted by a remark from Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, which seemed designed to impeach the force of the case esta blished, by showing that it would not necessarily lead to the results apprehended. Sir GEORGE remarked that in the expedition to the coast of Syria wider the late Government, one of our 90-gun ships had on board no more than 680 men. If that isolated fact could have prove-d anything in favour of the vicious system of under manning, which it did not, it would have been com pletely set aside by the pithy rejoinder of Captain BERKELEY, that at that very time he was remonstrating with and almost retiring from his colleagues in office because they would persist in such dangerous and un warrantable experiments. That Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, a member of the present Administration, by whom these colleagues have been driven from office, should now plead the precedent of their pernicious prac tice to justify a folly which, on former occasions, he has himself so stoutly condemned, only supplies a proof how trouble prone men in offi c e a re t o ensconce t h emselves b eh i nd the authority be at of th aeny precedentof e s r t e a a b d l is tiin g pt ot h e a i r better hands prraactthi practice than for the future. But Sir GEORGE COCKBURN , in his sub sequent speech, when att empt i ng to excuse the one, ab surdity of the " sliding scale" of manning, adopted by his predecessors, fell into som e o f t h e most startling in consistencies we ever heard of. S o goo d an officer must have had a bad case, indeed, when it ran hi m into such t absurc( and illogical conclusions as those whi c h we find attributed to him. He denied that he had ever said he could man the navy well, at the present moment, with good seamen without difficulty ; what he had said was, that it was impossible to get a number of " able seamen at the moment they were required." Why, that was precisely the part which Sir CHARLES NAPIER, Captains BEIIKELEY, PECUELL, and Roils, have at different pe nods of the present and the last session so strenuously asserted in proof of the defective management of the Board whereof Sir GEORGE is the first effective Lord. The question however is, why Sir GEORGE COCKBURN and the other Lords have never devised, matured, and pro pounded, on their own responsibility, in Parliament, a plan whereby the loss of these valuable men's essential services, when needed by the exigencies of the country, may be hereafter obviated? Why have they never proposed to Parliament to make some permanent provision, in the nature of half-pay, or pen sions, for able seamen, the condition of their title thereto being that they shall not enter into any foreign service, and be always liable to be again entered for duty under certain limitations as to classes and rotations of liability; and, above all, let them preserve these pen sions, not only as a retaining fee, but as an honorary distinction, together with the wages of any other em ployment in the merchant or other British service into which they may enter. The miserable spirit of inter ference which has prompted the Government to act on the principle of denying to these publi , ; servants any portion of the public money whilst they are earning any emoluments derived from private services, is one of the most vexatious and arbitrary among the many causes which disgust our sailors with the treatment they must now look forward to after once entering the navy. If the half-pay or pensions, we propose, be duly deserved, what have de Government to do with the question of how much more the recipients may legitimately gain in other quarters? In the very nature of things the result of this inquisitorial process can only be, that because an able seaman or petty officer is found to be getting pri vately two-thirds of the amount of his allowance in the pay, you cut him off directly from the entire of that allowance, and leave him to starve on the two-thirds of the sum which he draws from some other connexion. On both sides of the House the propable objections of the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared to be anticipated as likely to prove fatal impediments to all or any great measures of improvement. But the first con sideration is, what the exigencies of the public ser vice demand ? And when we look at the hundreds of thousands of pounds annually wasted by the Board of Admiralty on naval cobbling, breaking up, cutting down, lengthening, reducing, deepening, widening ships of war that ought never to have been built, if they require such organic changes in their construction, we must not be told that the funds requisite for a just and even generous provision of the nature we advocate cannot be found. Our gallant seamen will have reason, indeed, bitterly to complain if they are to be turned upon with that an nouncement, when —as we learn from a Hampshire paper of last week—the new royal steam yacht, the Victoria and' Albert, the building of which, but two or three years ago, cost, we know not how much, and its gilding and decorations we are afraid to say how much more, is again in dock, undergoing a huge course of repairs and alterations,. in addition to those which have already cost the country 33,0001. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN " concurs in the propriety of sending all ships to sea fully manned," and yet he allows that the Albion is limited to 690 men, though, he adds, she ought to have at least 750 men. In the same spirit of inconsistency, Captain Bons, after Sir GEORGE, ar gued that because when NELSON was in the Agamemnon, she was 100 short of her complement, and that when the great action of Trafalgar was fought several of our line-of-battle ships were very short of their complements, therefore it is very well that we should continue to sail our sea-going men of war, now-a-days, under -manned. If our brave fellows—that is—have really done their duty despite the odds against them of deficient manning, to which they ought never to have been subjected ; con tinue to hamper them with the same disadvantages, and multiply, by habitually renewing, them. What logic is this ? Because your mismanagement rendered them liable to be defeated, and their intrepidity trampled over by the very superior forces of their enemy, continue your mismanagement, increase their deficiency of hands, and enhance that enemy's superiority of manning 1 But Sir GEORGE COCEBURN, on the contrary, affirms that ships without their proper complements of men cannot be sent out to meet an enemy." " The Admiralty were now anxious to try certain ships which had been built upon different plans, in order to ascer tain their respective qualities ; and by the aid of seamen who had been employed as labourers in the dockyards, and of ad ditional marines, they would make an effort to render the crews of those vessels strong enough to manoeuvre them in the Channel so as to test their sailing qualities. The Admiral who would have the command of those ships would know to what extent they were manned, and he would not expect their various manoeuvres to be performed in so ef ficient a manner as if they had their full complement of men." Why, then, the result of the trials to be made by this squadron of experiment must necessarily be—good for nothing. But we must defer this important subject again, owing to want of space. Madrid journals of the 13th have been received. The business before the Cortes was drawing rapidly towards a close. Indeed it had been all disposed of in the Chamber of Deputies, and the Senate on the 13th was merely occupied in registering the money Bills sent up to it by the Deputies. The Castellano states that Wed nesday, the 14th, would be the last day on which the Cortes would transact business previous to the proroga tion. The same journal says it is probable that Prussia, Austria, and Russia, would follow the example of the the Court of Rome, and acknowledge Queen IsABELLA. The Intendant of the Royal Household had left Madrid for Barcelona, to make preparations for the QUEEN'S journey, and a body of troops had also marched in the same direction. The Three per Cents. were done at 341 for cash, and 35 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 25, at 60 days; the Coupons, at 28i at 52 days; the Vales, at 11 at 59 days; and the Debt without Interest, at 8i at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies resumed on Mon day the discussion on the great northern line of rail way. An amendment was proposed by M. DELBAQUE for a branch line be t ween Fampo ux and Ha zebruck, which was supported by M. BERRYER and M. BILLAULT; the latter Member urging as a reason that it would place Calais and Dunkirk in direct communication with Paris, and would be of the first importance in the event of a war with England. The amendment was opposed by the Minister of Public Works, who recommended the Cham ber to postpone the question till next session. The amendment, however, was adopted by a large majority. M. GARNI ER PACES then put some questions to the Government relative to a proposition said to have been made by M. GANNERON, the banker, for constructing certain lines of railway. It had been stated publicly, and generally believed, that M. GANNERON had offered to lend the Government a sum of 700,000,000 f. (28,000,0001.), at 31 per cent., to construct the lines from Paris to Avignon by Lyons, from Paris to Stras burg, and from Paris to the Belgian frontier. He highly approved of the proposition, because it would enable the Government to keep these lines in their own hands, and was therefore anxious to know whether such a proposition had been entertained. The Minister"had not replied at the hour of p )st. The Chamber of Peers had appointed Count Roz to draw up the report on the Bill for the conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock. The Journal des Debats publishes a long letter on this Bill, written by M. C. DIINOYER, described as one of the ablest political economists of the day. The writer is strongly opposed to the Bill, but it is of the less impor tance at present as it, is well known the Ministry will not press it this session, and the Peers are decidedly hostile to it. According to a letter from Switzerland, in the ContOutionne/, the Catholic cantons are preparing to csrry into execution the decree for the introduction of the Jesuits. The Catholic conference at Lucerne had addressed a note to the Governments of Soleure and Tessino, inviting them to make common cause for the re-establishment of the convents.

The interest taken in the project for the formation of rail ways in India appears to be rapidly increasing. Already the applications for shares in the undertaking (the first ex perimental line that has been suggested) have exceeded the number which the Company have at command. The concern is under the auspices of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, and will no doubt meet with every assistance which fairly belongs to the Court. The prospectus already issued is drawn up with much care and attention, and no pains we understand will be spared in order to place the line upon the most favourable basis. It may be interesting to state that some American hops just offered at public sale by Keeling and Hunt, have realised 60s. per cwt. for exportation, the duty being prohibitory for home consumption; the quality was a decided improvement on the former shipments, and were encouragement given, no doubt greater attention would be paid to their cultivation on the other side. The potatoes from Bermuda sold at from 255. to 265. per barrel, and approached very near to our own frame potatoes, and may eventually become a considerable article of import by the steamers. The market for the Public Securities has been very firm again. The transactions within the last day or two have been limited in extent. There is decidedly a better feeling, or, in the absence of purchases to any extent, prices would not advance. Consols have been 99 1 4 to 99% for Money, and for Time 99% to 99%. Exche quer.bills have realised 58s. to 595. prem. Bank Stock has been firm at 210, and India Stock has touched 280.4 The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 101 1 % to 101%, and the Three per Cents. 98 1 4 to 98%. The Foreign Bonds have attracted less attention than yes terda3-. Spanish Five per Cents. have been at 30, and the Three per Cents. at 42 to 42 1 4. Portuguese Converted have been at 67 1 4 to 671, : these are all about previous rates. Mexican have been quoted at 37 to 37 1 4. Belgian Four and-a-Half per Cents. were 99, And French Five per Cents. 121 f. 25c. The market for Railway Shares is a little brisker to-day, and the quotations are in most instances tolerably well sup ported. The Trent Valley Continuation line is reported very favourably of by the parties sent down to re-survey it, and as it brings Chester into communication with London, and completes the railway to the coast, by joining the Chester and Holyhead, and establishing a railway route to Ireland in a national point of view the line is important.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) ASSIGNEES OF M`DOWAL V. FRANKL" This was an action to recover the sum of Si. 14s. Id., for goods sold and delivered. The defendant, who is a draper at Devonport, pleaded a tender. Mr. Wimurrs, who appeared to support the plea, said he felt quite satisfied that he should be able to adduce conclusive evidence of the tender having been duly and legally made to the attornies for the plaintifib, but that the amount had been refused unless 55., charged for writing a letter demanding payment, was also paid. This, he contended, could not be legally recovered. He then called Wm. Davis, who deposed that he went on the Bth of August lust to the office of Messrs. Linklater and Dobbs, and showed their letter, and said that he had called to pay 3/. 14s. A clerk, how. ever, looked at a book, and said, that he could not take less than 5/. 19s. He identified a person in Court as the person to whom he had tendered the money. Mr. THOMAS replied, and contended there must be some mistake, for none of the clerks in the office had the slightest recollection of the affair. He proceeded to show several letters, one of which was an offer on the part of Messrs. Dobbs and Linklater to see the person alleged to have tendered the money, and endeavour to see who was right. A meeting took place. Mr. Witurts said he was instructed that this communication was made without prejudice, and therefore it could not be given in evidence. Benjamin Pride was called, and stated he was the person pointed out by the last witness. He had not the slightest recollection of ever having seen him, or of any sum being tendered as described. The writ was issued on the 9th of August. He had no recollection on the subject, and certainly would not swear he had not refused it. Mr. WHAINs said he had not the slightest doubt that the mis take had originated with the clerk, whore memory was very bad. The SECONDARY said, he thought Mr. Wilkins need not address the jury on the case. One witness had sworn positively and the other dubiously. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. WATERS V. WOOD. The plaintiff in this case is a lodging.housekeeper, residing in Wellclose.square, and the defendant a mate of a trading vessel. The action was brought to recover the sum of 241. ss. for board, lodging, &c. It appeared the defendant had lodged with the plaintiff from August, 1842, to April, :843. He was charged 1/. a week. He had paid 51. since he left, and after his return from a voyage, his outfit had been provided by plaintiff on the faith of defendant's promise. Defendant had lodged twice before with plaintiff, and had until this occasion paid honourably. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) William Smith, a youth of respectable appearance, between fifteen and sixteen years of age, was charged with being concerned in stealing one dozen silver table spoons and half a dozen desert spoons, from the residence of the Marquis of Breadalbane, No. 21, Park.lan e, G rosvenor- squ are. It appeared that a few minutes past eleven o'clock this Morning, one of the servants in the Marquis's establishment found a strange young man in one of the passages of the lower part of the house, and upon asking him what he wanted, he replied by inquiring if Lady Manners lived there. He was told he had mistaken the house, and he went away up the area steps, the servant, however, immediately went into the stewards's room, and missing the plate, ran into the street, where he saw the young man in the act of giving the plate to the prisoner. Both directly ran off in different directions, but the prisoner was pursued and overtaken, he having, as he ran, thrown down the plate into the carriageway. The other escaped.—Committed. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) Group N. WEST CORNWALL RAILWAY. At the sitting of the Committee some conversation ensued respecting the opposition of Mr. Thomas to the scheme, and with respect to a suggestion thrown out by the Chairman last night with respect to the Hayle Railway not being in accordance with the provisions of the Railways Consolidation Act. Mr. Rowe said be was prepared to argue the objection he had raised, that that railway presented an insuperable objection to the construction of the line. Mr. MACAULAY repeated, for the information of Mr. Alexander, that it was the impression of the Committee that the Hayle Rail. way was not under the general provisions of the Railways Consoli dation Act. He thought that that portion of the line would present a great difficulty in passing the preamble. The question was, whe ther the Hayle Railway could legally be included in the provisions of the Act for the construction of the West Cornwall P Mr. ALEXANDER, for the promoters of the Bill, said he con ceived that the Act constituting the Hayle Railway gave full power to amalgamate it with the new line. Was the objection of the Committee with respect to the crossing of certain roads on a level ? If so, he held that they could do so without infringing the provisions of the Railways Consolidation Act. Mr. DENISON, one of the Committee, thought there were many points on which it was desirable to have the Hayle Railway amen able to the provisions of the Rsilways Consolidation Act. Mr. ALEXANDER was prepared to show that they had such powers under the old Act. He held that his Learned Friend was not entitled to maintain the objection he had made—it was not par_ ticularised in the petition of Mr. Thomas. Mr. Rows said the objection was specially set forth in the peti tion, and read a portion of it to substantiate his opinion. The CommirrEs thought that it would not be advisable then to go into the merits of the objection, but to proceed with the exami nation of Captain Moorsom. (LEFT BITTING.) Group FF. EDINBURGH AND DALKEITH RAILWAY. The Committeemet at twelve o'clock ; Lord Ashleyin the chair. The Committee having decided that the name of Sir Robert Dick should be struck out of the 49th clause, by which any claims he may have upon the Company are left untouched, proceeded to consider the claims of the Messrs. Wauchope, and left it to the parties to consider whether they could not some to some arrange ment. The Company proposed to give the Messrs. Wauchope 30 per cent. on the present traffic of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith line, calculated upon an average of the last five years. Mr. Clarke, Counsel for the Messrs. Wauchope, said that they would not accept less than 100 per cent. Assuming that their profits en the traffic of the line were at present 500/. a year, the Company therefore pro posed to give them 900/. a year, but they demanded 1,0001. The parties not being able to come to an arrangement, the room was cleared, and on the parties being called in, The CHAIRMAN said that, considering the claims of the Messrs. Wauchope were only double that which was offered by the Com pany, they did not consider it exorbitant, and unless the Company agreed to give 100 per cent., the clause must be struck out of the Bill. The agent for the Company said that the promoters of the Bill preferred striking out the clause to agreeing to such a demand. The clause was accordingly struck out. The preamble was declared to be proved, and the Committee then proceeded to pass the other clauses in the Bill. Group 11. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. The Committee proceeded with this case. Up to the time of our going to press, Mr. MARTIN was occupied in opening the case of the opposition of the Canal Company, Group R. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION RAILWAY. This Committee met to.day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Gibson Craig in the chair. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee had decided that the agreement argued before them yesterday was not within their province, and they could not take any cognisance of it. It had evidently been entered into imprudently, and without the full consent of the Belfast Junction Company, and the latter had re. pudiated it on the very first opportunity.. Mr. ALEXANDER said the decision had taken his clients by sur prise, and prayed for a postponement of the Belfast Junction, in order to allow them time to prepare their opposition, which had been abandoned since the Bth of March, on the faith of the agreement. The Committee, after a brief consultation, said they could not consent to the postponement on the grounds set forth, as they did not take any notice of the agreement, considering it had been im properly entered into. Sir John sl'Neille had not :beet, entrusted with the power necessary to execute such an agreement. Mr. AUSTIN proceeded to state the case on behalf of the pro_ moters of this line. It was a line of railway to complete the rail way communication between the city of Dublin Prid the town of Belfast. Some years ago a lineof railway was formed between Dublin and Drogheda, 311 miles long, and which ran along the coast north. wards. There was also a line formed from Belfast to Portadown, 25 miles long, and in the present session a Bill was before Parlia ment to connect the towns of Belfast, Carrickfergus, Antrim, and Ballymena. Now, all these three would be in connexion with the proposed line.-the Dublin and Drogheda, and the Belfast and Portadown, being a continuation of it, and making a total of 113 miles from Dublin to Belfast. The extent of line to be constructed by the present Bill, was from Portadown in the north, to Drogheda in the south, connecting itself it at one end by the Ulster Extension" with Belfast; and at the other end by the " Dublin and Drogheda" with Dublin. There was a branch to be formed in connection with the main line from Drogheda to the town of Kells, in the county of Meath. The whole extent would be eighty-throe miles. There was a proposition to extend the line to Londonderry and Coleraine, but this extension would not come under the con•- sideration of the present Committee. The cost was estimated at 12,000/. per mile, which would make the cost of the whoje about 930,0001. The traffic was estimated at about 84,0001. or 85,0001. per annum. There were no great engineering difficulties, the gradients were generally favourable, and the embankments and cuttings moderate. After commenting on the opposition which was offered by the "Newry and Ennis killen," which he thought altogether uncalled-for and unjustifi able, and pointing out the great advantages that the proposed line would confer on the country through which it passed, in connecting Dublin within ten hours of the city of Glasgow, and opening up a rich agricultural district to the manufacturing dis tricts of England and Scotland, the Learned Gentleman pro ceeded to call witnesses in support of his case. Patrick Ternan, steam-packet agent and merchant, of Drogheda, was examined at some length respecting the traffic of the port of Drogheda, and in reference to the Kells branch. He handed in a table, drawn up by him, illustrative of this point, and considered the line proposed would confer the greatest benefit on the district. (LEFT SITTING.) Group X. LONDON AND YORK LINE. The Committee sat at the us ,a 1 hour today. The first wit ness called was Mr. Thos. Shiel Evers, J.P.—ls an extensive miller at Lincoln. His mills manufacture on an average about 9,360 tons of flour in the year, five sixths of which were sent to Manchester and Liver pool. The cost of transit by the present mrvdes of conveyance from his mills to the above places was 15s. 6d. ptr ton;. the saving to be effected in this item, if the London and York Railway should be made, would bo about 6s. I Id. per ton, or 3,000/. per annum. The witness went into very minute details of the calculations he had made as to the com parative cost of transit of coals, and various other articles of con sumption and manufacture by the present modes of conveyance, and by the projected London and York line, and contended that it was quite apparent to him that, not only would the saving of cost per ton be considerable for all description of goods to be conveyed be tween the different towns proposed to be brought into communica tion with each other by this scheme, but that there would also be an immense increase of traffic of every description. Mr. FILLIMORE, counsel for one of the competing lines, said that before he cross-examined this witness, he would beg leave to call the attention of the Committee to the votes and proceedings of the House of Commons, printed today, by which it appeared that a line of railway was about to be made . between Market Raisen and Lincoln. He would be; of the Committee to keep this in mind during the evidence. The witness was then cross-examined by Mr. LEE, on behalf of the Eastern Counties line—He said he would preter a cheap line to a short one, or a cheap and roundabout line, to a cheap and short one.—(Laughter.) He was a shareholder in the London and York line, but not a director, or one of the committee. He hoped . , the Forsdyke Navigation Company was to go into the hands of the London and York Railway Company. The gross amount of the Forsdyke Company's dues, received last year, was 10,2911. 17s. 10d. The tolls received on the Wickham navigation, in the same period, was about 12,0001. in round numbers, from Wickham to Boston. The expenses of the Forsdyke for the last three or four years in improvements were about 20,0001.; but the annual expense was about an avtrage of 1,0001. a year for the last ten years. The proprietor of the Forsdyke was an active promoter of the London and York scheme. Has not been made aware that corn, flour, &c., will not be conveyed by the London and York line for lid. per ton per mile, unless it was to be conveyed twenty-five miles. Did not believe that his partner, Mr. Copeland, was to appear as a witness in favour of the London and York line. Understood that he (Mr. Copeland) was to appear as a witness in favour of the Cambridge line.—(Laughter.) The witness was next cress.examined by Mr. BARBER, on behalf of the Midland scheme, but was interrupted by— Mr. PAGE; who said his Learned Friend was examining on be. half of a scheme that was not before the Committee. Mr. BURKE said he was examining as to a line that was before the Committee.—(Laughter.) Most certainly a line from Lincoln to Wisbeach would be very desirable. Believed the London and York scheme did not contemplate such a line. Re-examined—Boston was of course a more important market than Wisbeach. (LEFT SITTING.) Group L. PORTSMOUTH DIVISION. The business of this Committee was resumed this morning at the usual hour, by the examination of witnesses. Henry Upton, examined by Mr. GURNEY, Q.C., deposed to being a farmer of Chichester, and having given his attention to the schemes projected for the accommodation of that town. Considers that the Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth Railway would be of the greatest advantage to the trade and iuterests of the locality. It was the centre of a large farming district ; and he alone, as an extensive cattle-dealer, spent upwards of 5001. a year in oil-cske. This article sometimes took three weeks to come from London by the present sea conveyance, and thus suffered considerable damage, entailing loss to the farmer. Cross-examined by Sergeant TALFOURD—it now costs about four teen shillings a ton for the conveyance of produce from Chichester to London. The price would be somewhat the same for the superior accommodation of the railway. Sir Hercules Packenham, examined by Mr. GURNEY, Q. C.-- Is commandant at Portsmouth, having held that post for six years, and had under his command upwards of 35,000 men. Considers any communication with Chatham or Bristol most desirable, especially as to the former, the invalids are principally sent. A line proceeding north, without touching at London, would be a valuable addition to the present accommodation, as the circuitous route necessarily adopted to call at the metropolis causes great delay. Supposing a railroad came nearer the barracks than the present line, the trouble of unloading the baggage and other waggons would still exist, and therefore be of scarcely any advantage. William Mason, examined by Mr. GURNEY, Q.C.—ls a book seller at Chichester, and having heard of the different competing lines for accommodating that district, and being perfectly conversant with the inhabitants there and their feeling on the subject of the railways, can confidently affirm that their preference is in favour of the Guildford, Chichester, and Fareham line. Was not aware of a petition having been signed by the in habitants of Chichester and the neighbourhood, but had seen that morning a petition, purporting to have one hundred names of the householders of that town attached to it, noise of which he knew, and several of which he believed to have been written by the same perion. Mr. A. Mance, late of the Fountain Hotel at Portsmouth—Ports , mouth had a considerable market, which had to provde for nearly 60,000, including the army and navy. The supplies were chiefly drawn from Smithfield, Chichester, Salisbury, and Devon,hire. The cheese and butter were chiefly crown from the west. He was a shareholder in the floating-bridge, and he thought it very desirable that there should be a commnnicatiou with Fareham and the west, and he should consider it a great defect in any line that did not open the communication with the west. In his opinion the public interests would be best served by a line to the west, which would not oblige the crossing the water at Gosport, and in the event of the line being formed from Basingstoke to Newbury, a great convenience would be obtained. for communication with the north of England. In the event of this line not being, formed the public would have to cross by the floating bridge, which crossed every half hour, and the passage occupied about seven minutes. Since he had known Portsmouth there had always been a considerable traffic to the west of Eng. land. The coaches chiefly went through Purbeck, though one went through Havant and Chichester. The route to Godalming gave few passengers, as it was a bar ren and thickly peopled country. There was still one coach to Guildford, which was not appointed with two-thirds of the effect it used to be, and even in that state it was barely supported by the intermediate country. (LEFT SITTING.) Group F. THE GREAT WESTERN AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY EXTENSION TO WORCESTER AND DROITWICH. Members—The Right Hon. F. Shaw, Chairman ; Mr. V. Stuart, Mr. Lockhart, Mr. Bramsion, and Mr. Drummond. The Committee sat at twelve o'clock, and Mr. Bayliss, civil engineer, was called on the part of the Bir mingham and Gloucester Railway, to prove the intended line of deviation from the presert railway, and the position which the opposition branch, advocated by the Great Western Company, would hold in respect to it. The lines were intended to be run in a parallel direction. Mr. W. Chamberlayne, china merchant, of Worcester, exa mined by Mr. WHATELEY, Q. C.—The china he manufactured was a very delicate article, and would not bear rough handling. For that reason he availed himself of the facilities afforded by the railway as little as possible. He used a considerable quantity of coals, perhaps 1,600 or 1,700 tons a year, and that came from Staf fordshire by canal. He also used great quantities of clay from Cornwall and Shropshire, which also came by water. He thought there would be a great deal of inconvenience from the want of uni foimity in the gauge on the line. Robert Hardy, ircn.merchant, Worcester, was one of a corn. mittee established in that town to observe and report upon the merits of the respective lines which were intended to supply that town with railway communication, and he himself was in favour of the Birmingham and Gloucester deviation. Mr. Tombs, town-clerk of Droitwich, proved that at a meeting held in that town resolutions were passed in favour of the Birming ham and Gloucester extension. Mr. TALBOT then proceeded to state the objections which Lord Sandys entertained to the London and Birmingham deviation. It would, be said, inflict an incalculable injury on his Lordship, by cutting off three miles of his most valuable property lying adjacent to the River Severn, thus destroying the integrity of his estate without, as he contended, affording an equivalent benefit t o th e population of Worcester, Droitwich, or the neighbourhood. Group DD. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. On the re-assembling of the Committee this morning, at half-past eleven, the examination of witnesses was resumed by Sir T. PHILLIPS calling Mr. Gordon, writer at Dumfries, but his examination had scarcely been commenced, when Mr. Gaeta addressed the Committee, saying that he had been given to understand he had no locus standi before them to oppose the Glasgow and Carlisle Railway on behalf of the Carlisle Canal Company, and he wished to know what was the decision of the Committee on the subject. The CIIAIRNIAN said that Mr. Greig was not competent to be heard, as the standing orders had not been complied with. The petition of the Carlisle Canal Company ought to have been pre sented to Parliament three clear days before the meeting of the Committee, and this had not been done. The examination of Sir. Gordon was then proceeded with. It appeared from his evidence that the aggregate amount of goods imported into Dumfries annually, on an average of four years, was 7,804 tons. The quantity of goods exported during the same in terval averaged 3,870 tons each year. The traffic of the town is principally carried en by one steam vessel from Dumfries and two from Annan, • and by small sailing vessels from both places. The steamers convey the majority of passengers, and all the live stock are imported in them. The merchandise to Liverpool and the west coast was usually conveyed by sailing ves sels, but sometimes steamers were employed for that purpose, and it vvAs recently in contemplation to have a vessel of considerable power appointed to the Dumfries station. The aggregate receipts of stea , i,ers during four y ears was 184,923/. The navigation of the river islith was very difficult and uncertain, and it was frequently found necessary to land passengers and cattle because the vessel could not leave the river, owing to the obstacles which the sand pre sented. He considered that a large portion of the passengers would prefer going by railway, if one existed, and a considerable amount of the goods and cattle would also find their way on the rails, and generally very large traffic would be diverted to the railway if it were made. An extensive cattle market was held weekly in Dumfries. The number of cattle exposed for sale in the market last year amounted to 218,041 heads. The quantity that passed through Dumfries, without being sent to the fair, was 9,345, and about air equal number were conveyed through the river to England. A very large pig market existed also at Dumfries, and the aggregate number of pigs annually sold there was 14,099, which, taking the average weight of each pig at 13 stone, would give a total result of 183,287 stone ; and the revenue derivable from this source averaging the price per stone at 4s. 9d , would be 43,530/. The Caledonian line would alTord no facility fur conveying the pig traffic from Dumfries to Annan. It would take it to Carlisle, but only by a circuitous and inconvenient route. The number of live pigs that were exposed for sale during the last year was 7,749. There was a large carpet manntaetory at Sanquhar, near Dumfries, which produced each year on the average 1,000 pieces, of the value of 10,0001., and all these would be conve)ed by way of Dumfries to Edinburgh and Glasgow if a convenient mode of transit existed. From the statistical statement which he had sup plied to Mr. ArCulloch it appeared that the total revenue received in 1636 by the manufacturers it) the neighbourhrod of Dumfries was 70,0001., but this sum of later years had been considerably in. creased,—(The witness then read an extract from the ilia 08 the Town Council of Dumfries, authorising him to state tbeir satis faction at the making of the contemplated Glasgow, Dumfries, and Cat lisle Railways, as it would afford every convenience and facility. for the carrying on of the cattle, coal, iron, and lime traffic, a nd _ would also tend to improve the various and increasing Itianuf3c tures that are new existing in Dumfries and its neighbourhood.) Group W. WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY. The Committee for the consideration of this line re-assembled to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Pakington in the chair. Mr. Robert Palk was examined by Serg ean t KINGLAKE, And deposed to the great advantages which would result to trade by the formation of this line. He lived in Cheshire, and was largely engagcd in the salt trade. Sent annually from 50,000 to 100,000 tons of salt to Hull. This quantill, however, was nothing compared to what would be sent if greater eon' venience of carriage existed. Thought this would be p rovided by the proposed line. The salt would not suffer by t h e c oncussion ou the railway. Was also a large importer of timber. Had large caa ei g P .:, ments horn the Baltic. Had no doubt that i f a railway were made fre." Wakfield to Goole, the trade of Goole would be c onside increased by its being made a depot far foreign trade. The. iore annual manufacture of salt in Worcestershire a nd Ches _ amounted to 1,500,000 tons. The consumption of salt vn" greatly on th e increase. In Yorkshire and Lincolnshire immense quantities were used for agricultural purposes, and if incree4 facilities of transit were afforded, the increase would be still greatoe jr• The Manchester and Leeds line, and the Midland Counties,elnuLt Id. per ton per mile at present for the carriage of salt, and i 4 o rate the saving on salt, if the proposed line were made, Ou am Thetoun to it 9.5. ton on the whole . wness per was cross-examined bydistance M r .
