The House of Lords met at Five o'clock, The Indemnity Bill was read a tF., r d ti me . On the motion of Lord r,aOIIGRAM the Small Debts Bill was recommittr:'. The ad i :Lrned debate on the Maynooth Bill was then ase.:ded by the Earl of HARDWICKE. The Ho►►se was afterwards addressed by the Earl of CARNARVON, the Marquis of NORNANBY, the Arch bishop of DUBLIN, Lord DE Roos, and Lord BROUGHAM, all in favour of the Bill. The Bishop of EXETER alone opposed it. Ultimately, the debate was adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'Clock. After the transaction of private business, Mr. RUNE moved " That an humble address be presented to her MAJESTY, that she will be graciously pleased to grant such a pension as she may think proper to the Right Hon. Sir H. POTTINGER, Bart., K.C.8., as a reward for his eminent public services, and especially for having, as her MAJESTY'S Plenipotentiary in China, brought the war in that country to a conclusion by a peace alike honourable and advantageous ; and to as sure her MAJESTY that the House will make good the same. Lord SANDON seconded the motion, which was sup. ported by Sir J. HOBHOUSE. Sir R. PEEL, on the part of the Government, although disapproving of motions of this nature, would certainly take upon himself the responsibility of advising her MAJESTY to make a provision for this distinguished After a few observations from Lord J. RUSSELL, Lord PALMERSTON, Mr. J. ABEL SMITH, Mr. Ross, and Mr. P. HOWARD, the resolution was agreed to nemine contradicen te. Mr. WARD then moved for " a Select Committee to inquire whether there are any peculiar burdens specially affecting the landed interest of this country, or any pe culiar exemptions enjoyed by that interest, and to as certain their nature and extent." After a somewhat lengthened debate, the motion was negatived by a majority of 73 ; and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at a Quarter to One. Want of room prevents us from doing justice to the excellent speeches made in the House of Lords last evening on the Maynooth Bill, but they cannot be passed over without notice. They displayed a liberal and humane spirit, just views of government, and, with one exception, an absence of sectarian feeling highly honourable to the Upper House. The Arch bishop of DUBLIN spoke out like a man who, in defence of truth and justice, sets calumny and bigotry at defiance. He rebuked the modern Pharisees, who look upon themselves and their religion as perfect, and admonished them to take the beam out of their own eyes that they might see clearly the beam in their brother's eye. "Rather," said he, "than resort to violence in turning men from their errors, I would descend from my station, and earn my bread by the most menial employment. I would not resort to violence, but I would endeavour to drive out from our own Church those who taught false doctrines—who held the doctrines of one Church, and received the emolu ments of another." The cheers which followed must have sounded harshly on the ears of certain Prelates It is a favourable symptom of the feeling which prevails in the House of Peers, that only one Member last night spoke against the measure—the Pus' yite Bishop of EXETER, who, in his usually polite and Christian language, denominated Maynooth " a perjury -teaching college." Lord BROUGHAM'S speech may be read with advantage by the most violent op ponents of the measure, and especially by certain Dis senters and the members of the Free Church of Scotland. They will find that his Lordship's remarks wofully correct when they have any favours to ask of the Episcopal Beach. " The Dissenters and Wesleyan Methodists " said he, " were the loudest and most incessant in their outcry against it. Well might the bench of Bishops say, that these religionists had no right to look for an extension of civil and religious liberty for themselves, since they had been so violent in their opposition when con cessions were made to Roman Catholics. They were the last, too, who should charge other religionists with holding persecuting doctrines, for, if he selected a writer who, of all others, laid down the doctrine of extirpation with more elaborateness—who even went so far as to say that the body of the heretic should even be burnt— who taught not merely the right but the duty of destroy ing the body to save the soul—he should say that that man was JOHN CALVIN." According to intelligence from Mexico, of the Ist of May, it was understood, in well-informed quarters, that the Government were disposed to recognise the inde pendance of Texas, on the condition that it should not be incorporated with the United States. Propositions to this effect had been made by Texas, and it had been communicated to the Mexican Congress by the New Pre sident and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The fol lowing resolution of the President in coui,cil bad been submitted to the Chambers : " The Government is authorised to give hearing to the propositions which have been made to it respecting Texas, and proceed to an arrangement or celebration of a treaty use ful and honourable to the republic, keeping the Congress ac quainted with what is done tor its examination and approval." Should the Congress reply in the affirmative, the total separation of Texas from Mexico will be completed, and, in two or three years, it will be installed, with due solemnity, as one of the States of the American Union. According to accounts from Madrid of the 27th ult., the despotic conduct of NARVAEZ towards the editors of the Clamor Publico, as well as other proceedings of an equally arbitrary character, had caused great public excitement, and di pressed the funds nearly one per cent. All the papers, with the exception of the Heraldo, which is under the influence of the Govern ment, condemned in the strongest terms the arrest mad deportation, without trial, of CORRADI and CALVO; and the Castellano and Globo cautioned the Ministry against pursuing a course which might lead to most deplorable results. By a new law, it appears all journals are to be submitted to the censorship of the Political Chief three hours before publication, and for a breach of this law, which we certainly never heard of, the editor of the Espectadar had been sub jected to a fine of 3,000 reals (30L) It was said that news had been received of other arbitrary pro ceedings hi the provinces, and that three respectable merchants, named GUARDIOLA, VERGES, and BALDRICK, had been arrested at Barcelona. According to the Eco del Comercio fourteen persons altogether had been ar• rested at that place, and thirty more were destined for the same fate. NARVAEZ, having got rid of the Cortes, seems determined to rule the country entirely by mili tary law, and provoke another reaction in that unfor tunate country. The Bourse was greatly agitated by the intelligence, and the Funds declined considerably on the 27th, the Three per Cents. closing at 33 for cash, and 33i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 23i for cash, and at 60 days; and the Coupons at 27i for cash. The Paris papers are occupied with the new treaty for the suppression of the slave-trade, the arrest of the Madrid editors, and the abdication of Don CARLOS. All of them condemn the conduct of the Spanish Cabinet towards the press. The Journal des Debats descries it as an act of arbitrary power, and as totally incompre hensible, when it is recollected that it took place only the day after the promulgation of a constitution, embo dying clauses which especially provide against such an abuse of authority; and the other Government journal, the Globe, expresses utter astonishment at the strange proceeding. The other papers, almost without exception, concur in regarding the arrest, uader the circumstances stated, as despotic and illegal in the highest degree. The Opposition journals seem not at all satisfied with the new treaty. M. TRIERS' jcurnal infers that it has been purchased at a high price, namely, by France en gaging to take part with England against America in the affair of Texas ; and the National says, " The treaty may be suffici ent l y convenient for the British Ca billet, but it appears to be rather insolent towards our Chambers. Consider the situation in which it will be placed. No doubt a demand will be made for supplies to fit out twenty-seven ships of war, and the motive for de manding those supplies must be discussed. But to what purpose can there be a debate on the subject ? We admit theright with which the KLM. iShlre,tett by the charter to sign treaties. but the right of refusing the supplies con- sequent on such treaties cannot be denied to the Cham ber of Deputies." The Globe thus turns into ridicule the dismal forebodings of certain journalists respecting any alteration in the former treaties : " The grand affair of the right of search, which, according to the patriotic journals of London and Paris was to end ab solutely in a general conflagration, has at last been concluded. The Duke de Broglie, a ft er some days' conferences, has ter minated his mission ; he is at this moment bidding adieu to the illustrious hosts who by turns ated so graciously In his person the envoy of France, and is about to return to Paris. All that takes place naturally, without any particular sign appearing in the heavens, without any redresser of griev ances covering his face, or crying out treason Still better, the press, so susceptible and so jealous of our na tional honour, is also silent, and appears indifferent. Wait awhile, and you will see that, like the Times, it will demonstrate victoriously that there is no merit on the part of the two Governments to haVe found the means of smoothing down all the factitious difficulties that it had itself called into existence: Let it not be for gotten that the press has a t its fingers' ends the fable of the floating sticks. As long as it can possibly keep them away from. the eyes of its readers, it unceas i ng ly agitates g them the most frightful proportions, but a , ! 40011 as the current brings them closer, it at once ceases CO See them, and considers it very improper that any one ' should see them. As long as the French or English opposition could imagine that the clouds spoken of by M. Guizot affec ted the right of search, it made the matter an inextricable question, but when it saw that persevering and determined statesmen had resolved to blow away these nebulosities, mat ters at once became changed; mountains suddenly disap peared, and the path so impracticable yesterday, became in a moment smooth and easy. Let it not be supposed that wt exaggerate. The silence of our virtuous brothers of the press would sufficiently bear out our words, even did we not see them confirmed by the Times. This journal, whose contra dictions we do not intend demonstrating, but which, on the contrary, we quote to our patriotic journals, as a useful example of frankness, was, it may be remembered, one of the strongest detractors of the negotiation of the French and English Commissioners, which it looked on as altogether useless." The French Funds were very firm on Monday.

A LUCKY ESCAPE.—In this ease, which came before the Court on error to the judgment and co nv i ction, the prisoner had been tried and convicted at York for stealing moneys in a dwelling and, in pursuance o f that sentence, he had been house above 51., upon which he was sentenced to be transported for seven years ; sent to the Millbank Prison, and this morning appeared on the floor of the Court, dressed in the convicts' dress, and handcuffed. On the part of the prisoner, it was c ontended that the judgment and sentence was bad, inasmuch as the A c t o f t h e 6th and 7th Wm. sec. 1, und er w hi ch he was convicted, r was liable to be t ransported for 15 and that, theref ere, t h e Court had no years, ex ll ap . rr , se: and sainyd l e t s na t ot t N e d 'i l cet.sh,s theca a hp p ra ins 09 10 nfl 1 e , power to pass a sentence of seven years, and that judgment being on the record, it was bad, and that the record and judgment could not he amended, . _ - The Solicitor-General appeared for the prisoner, and Mr. Wad. dington in support of the sentence and conviction. The COURT was unanimously of opinion that the Act gave no power to transport for less than ten years, and that a sentence of seven years was bad. Judgment was then given In favour of the prisoner, and he was ordered to be discharged. The prisoner, who appeared highly delighted with his lucky escape, was at once released from the handcuffs, and taken back to change his dress, and will be immediately discharged. GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND ASSOCIATION.—The monthly meeting of the Directors of this Association took place in the saloon of the English Opera house this day, Tuesday, June 3, Mr. J. B. Buckstone in the chair. Present, Messrs. Worrell, Lewis, Saker, E. F. Saville, Cowie, Morrelli, Attwood, Cullen. ford, &c. Mr. Cullenford read the financial statement, from which it appeared that the funds of the Association amounted to 2,8001. The secretary reported he had received donations from Dr. Marsden and Mr. E. Cullenford, which donations were intended to be annual. The secretary was authorised to pay to the widow of the late Mr. Strickland one-half the amount of his subscription to the fund. After the transaction of the routine business of the Association, and the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, the Directors adjourned. TIIE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF A MOTHER AND ANI/ANT AT HAMPATLADYesterday Mr. Wakley resumed, the thrice-adjourned inquiry touching the deaths of Caroline Hillman and her male infant. The medical evidence of Mr. Taylor and others, which was given at considerable length, went clearly to show that the dec eased died in consequ ence of having sw a ll owe d a quantity of savin, a d rug calculated to p r ocure abortion. M a tth ews, the brother-in-law o f d eceased, sa i d h e had been down to From; So mersctshir e,and ascertain e d t h a t deceased had been living in that town for three or four years in a family named Gains. He believed Mr. Gains, her master, was a doctor. Mrs. Matthews, the wife of last witness, and sister of deceased, said the latter told her that her master, Mr. Gains, was the father of her child. She did not complain of ill-usage. She had no conversation with her on the subject of procuring abortion, nor did she say that any one ad vised her to try and do so. Deceased came to my horse on the 2d of May from her father's, who resides at Road, near Frome. By the Coroner—l have four or five pins in a box, which I have left at home, and which I think deceased brought from the country. I will take ca re o f them, and pro duce them. A gentleman, the agent of a country solicitor, here said that he had received a letter that morning, stati ng t h at Mr. Ga i ns , if his presence were required at the inquest, wou ld b e very glad to a ttend. The Coroner—The matter has become very serious, and it is absolutely necessary that a person about whom so much has been said, should come before us. lam very sorry for it, but we cannot go on as we are. The in. quiry was then adjourned to the 25th instant.

( THIS DAY.) \ - A Special General Meeting of the Proprietors of the Greiit Western Railway Company was held at the efface of the Company, at Paddington, this day, at one o'clock, for the purpose of consi. dering the Bill now before Parliament, under which powers were proposed to be conferred on the Company for purchasing, leasing, and contributing towards the formation of a railway from Cheltenham and the Great Western Union Railway to Fish guard and Pembroke Dock, with branches therefrom, to be called the South Wales Railway ; the Chelten ham and Great Western Union Railway, to Monmouth and Hereford, with branches to join the Forest of Dean Railway; the Newbury and Hungerford Railway; the Oxford and Rugby Railway ; the Oxford to Worcester and Wolverhampton ; the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, the Cornwall Railway; and also the draft of a copy of a Bill, entitled " a Bill for enabling the London and Birmingham Railway to take a Lease of the West London Railway, and to extend it to the River Thames." The chair was taken at one o'clock, by Charles Russell, Esq., M.P. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read by Mr. Sanders, the Secretary, The CHAIRMAN said, that after the several resolutions that had been passed at previous meetings, sanction ing the severe, schemes that had been read from the advertisement, the meeting of that day was matter of mere form ; but that matter of form was necessary in order to comply with the standing order of the House of Lords. That order was—" That in the case of Bills to empower any Company already constituted by Act of Parliament to execute any work other than that for which it was originally established, a draft of the proposed Bill must be submitted to a meeting of the proprietors of such cempany, called by advertise. ment, inserted for four consecutive weeks in the news. papers of each county, wherein such new works were proposed to be executed, and which meeting must be held not earlier than seven days after the last insertion of such advertisement ; and at such meeting the draft of the proposed Bill must be approved of by at least three-fifths of the proprietors pre sent." Now, it was to comply with that standing order that they had met, and the advertisement had stated the names of the Bills and the purport of them, which the proprietors were then called upon to sanction. There were two railways to which the Company had given guarantees, namely, the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway ; to the South Wales Railway they had advanced half a million, and to the Cornwall 50,0001. He had no doubt but that they had observed the progress which their Bills had made in the House of Commons. Every one of their Bills had passed the Standing Orders Committee—a fact which was exceedingly creditable to those to whose care the management of those Bills had been confided. All their Bills had also passed the second reading ; thus the principle of each of their Bills had been recognised. Two of their Bills—the Berks and Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth—had passed the House of Com mons, and were now in the House of Lords, awaiting the approval of the proprietors, in order that they might be proceeded with forth with. The South Wales and Hereford Bill would go into Committee that day—at least the Committee to which the Bill was referred met that morning. The Oxford and Rugby lines were at present the subject of investiga tion before a Committee of the House of Commons, and they were every moment in expectation of hearing the result. A Committee had been appointed to consider the West London Railway Bill. The Bills were on the table, and would be read by the Secretary if it should be thought desirable. The SECRETARY then read the titles of the several Bills, and the marginal notes of the sections. The South Wales, the Monmouth and Hereford, and the Bucks and Hants Bills, were agreed to without discussion. On the question being put on the Oxford and Rugby Bill, Mr. DOANE inquired whether this was a line in which the Great Western Company alone was interested ? The CHAIRMAN stated that it was. Mr. DOANE—We have nothing to do with the London and Bir mingham in it. The CHAIRMAN—Nothing whatever. Mr. DOANE—Then, of course, the broad gauge will be adopted. The CHAIRMAN—If we obtain the Bill the gauge will be our own. Mr. DOANE—There has been, then, no compromise on the subject. The CHAIRMAN—None whatever. It is our determination to make it a broad gauge line. The Bill was then unanimously agreed to. On the question being put on the subject of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Bill, Mr. DOANE asked if there was any clause in the Bill regulating the construction of the line, and what the gauge would be ? The CHAIRMAN—From Oxford to Worcester the broad gauge; from Worcester to Wolverhampton both gauges. The SECRETARY stated that there was no clause regulating the construction in the Bill, but that such a clause would be intro duced In Committee. A PROPRIETOR asked the Chairman if he could form any idea as to what the decision of the Committee would bet The CHAIRMAN said that the members of the Committee very pro perly kept their views so secret that there was not the slightest ground on which to form a conjecture on the subject. All he could say was, that the line ought to be theirs. The Bill was then agreed to unanimously, as was the Wilts, So merset, and Weymouth Bill. On the question being put as regards the Cornwall Railway, A PROPRIETOR admitted that the Company were bound to sup. port the Bill, but in case of any accident happening to it, he hoped the Company would not enter into any further arrangements which would prevent them from carrying a railway through the centre of Devon and Cornwall with abroad gauge. The CHAIRMAN said that the question whether the railway should pass through the centre of Devon and Cornwall had been maturely considered by the Directors; and he could not hold out any expecta tion that such a line would be carried out. The PRopmewort said he had merely suggested the subject for consideration. The CHAIRMAN clearly understood the object of the question, and wished to prevent the circulation of any rumour that the Company had hesitated at all as to the course which the railway ought to take. The Bill was then agreed to unanimously. The West London Bill was agreed to unanimously. A PROZRIRTOR asked how it was proposed to raise the required capital P The CHAIRMAN replied that that question had not yet been taken into consideration by the Directors, for several reasons. First, it was necessary to know what would be the actwal amount of capital required ; secondly, they must consider the state of the money market ; thirdly, the matter was one of extreme delicacy, and they must take care so to manage it as to prevent jobbing. They were not determined as to the emerge which they should pursue, but he could assure the Hon. Proprietor that the Directors would 10 , e the subject their most serious consideration, and that at the earliest time they would give the Shareholders specific information on the subject. -A PRoralwroa—What is the use to us of the West London Railway ? The CHArnitAN—We get further into London ; it brings us nearer the Thames; and it is necessary we should have it, to pre vent it from falling into other hands. A PROPRIETOR—We have it with the London and Birmingham Company. The CHAIRMAN—A joint possession with the London and Bir. mingham Company. The thanks of the Proprietors were then voted to the Chair man, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—On Saturday the second annual meeting of the members of the Institute took place at their rooms in George-street. The attendance was unusually . large. The Earl of Devon took the chair at half-past two, and was supported by Lord James Stuart, M.P., Sir George Staunton, JLP., Mr. George Wilbraham, Sir John Yarde Buller, M.P., Mr. Pen darves, H.P., Brigadier-General Sir Henry Pynn, Capt. Maconochie, R.N., Mr. Wynn Ellis, M.P., Colonel Leicester Stanhope, Lord Brougham, and many others of the vice-presidents of the society. The annual rerort and balance-sheet showed that the income of the year had covered the actual expenditure, and left a balance , or'surplus of 41. I9s. 3d., while the assets included 5,0001. in property, and 3,6001. in Government securities, against which the only liability was a loan of 2,0001. The resolutions, which were passed unanimously, expressed the entire satisfaction of the members with the direction and manage ment, and with the judicious administration of the funds ; and votes of thanks were tendered to the Noble President. tri,tpos al!,1 ,•• ttce, for thUr valuable co-operator the resident directors and the secretary. t be requited (hit of the imly source set apart for that purpose —namely, the surplus of income over expenditure, whirls in this case amounted to .1/. 19s. 3d. only tor the whole year. It was unanimously resolved, therefore, to present him with a substantial testimonial from the body of the members, as a mark of their respect and entire satisfaction with his management. It had been thought by many, not acquainted with the facts of the case, that his connexion with the institute was a source of considerable pecuniary benefit ; but it transpired, in the course of the meeting, that besides receiving nothing whatever in the shape of salary, or other emolument, lie had given ter the use of the members of the institute, in property and payments, with a view to increase its attractions, upwards of a thousand pounds from his own private means, so that his liberality and zeal were duly appreciated. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—A new liolbein, a portrait, has lately - been added to the gallery. It was formerly the property of Mr. Rochard, and has been purchased by the trustees for the sum of 8001. It is apparently the portrait of a professor of ana tomy, from the furred doctor's gown and the skull on which the hand rests As there is a coat of arms in the left hand corner of the canvas the identity of the portrait may be traced. PROPOSED PAINTED WINDOW IN ST. JAMES'S Cutracu.—A meeting of noblemen and influential gentlemen of the parish of St. James's, Westmiister, was held yesterday in the vestry of the church for the purpose of carrying into effect the plan of placing a richly-painted window at the end of tire church over the communion table. The cost is estimated at 1,5001. Among the donations were the following :—The Duke of Cleveland, 501. ; the Archbishop of Armagh, 501. ; Mr. G. Byng, 25/. ; the Rev. J. G. Ward, 251. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The Charitable Fund Society, for the support of the widows and orphans of the deliverers of letters by the general post, of the sub-sorters, &c., at the Post. office, had a benefit last night at the Haymarket Theatre. The house was completely crammed, so that it may be safely said the funds of the Society were greatly augmented by the speculation, as well as much amusement afforded to those who attended. There was nothing new in the performances, which consisted of the comedy, Time works Wonders, the popular farce, A Kiss in the Dark, Mr. John Parry's vocal performances, and other good things. They were all well acted. Mr. Tilbury, in the character originally played by the late Mr. Strickland, caused, by the talent he displayed, the loss of that gentleman to be the less regretted. CITY POLICE.—The Court of Common Council adopted yesterday the report of the City Police Committee which recommended " the raising of an additional number of constables, not exceeding fifty, to be under the s u p er i ntendence of the Com: missioners, and to be employed exclusively in watching particular spots and premises, on application duly made for their services, from the owners of such premises, w h o were also to bear all ex: poises." - ST. PAUL'S CATIIEDRAL.—Yesterday much disap pointment took place to several respectable families at the non. attendance of the various charity schools within the bills of mor tality at St. Paul's Cathedral for the purpose of their annual ; rehearsal day. The first Tuesday in June has, during upwards of a quarter of a century, been appointed for that purpose; but it appeared that a notice had been forwarded to some parochial authorities that the rehearsal and grand days will not take place this year till next week, when, it has been intimated that her Majesty, with several:of the Royal Family, and a numerous suite, will honour that interesting meeting with their presence. GRECIAN SALOON. —We perceive, by the bills of this establishment, that a sumptuous bill of fare has been provided for Friday, the 6th of June, upon an occasion of the most inte resting stature —one which will no doubt call together a vast number of the trade, and ensure the patronage of the public. The evening is to be devoted to a benefit in aid of the funds of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum. To offer anything in praise of suet a cause would be superogatory. We will, however, observe that the attractions of the night are such as to warrant the expectation of a crowded house, which all who are admirers of the principle/1 of charity and benevolence will, with ourselves, anxiously desire to see. COURT OF CONSERVANCY.—Yesterday morning, pursuant to annual custom, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, as Conservator of the River Thames, held Courts of Conservancy for the 'aunties of Middlesex and Surrey. His Lordship was attended by Sheriffs Hunter and Sidney, Aldermen Wilson, Hughes Hughes, Johnson, the Recorder, City Solicitor, &c. The jury for the county of Surrey appointed Monday, the 16th inst., in order to make their 'rat inspection of the state of the navigation of the river. The jury for the county of Middlesex fixed Wednesday, the 18th June, for a similar purpose, and on each of those days other periods will be named, so as to complete their arrangements previous to the next meeting of the Court, on the Ilst July next. The Queen Dowager has, during the last week, been prevented from taking her customary carriage airings from slight indisposition, arising from a cold. A male child was found sitting on a Mack silk shawl on the step of the door, 74, Lower Grosvenor-street, on Monday morning, about eleven o'clock, with a letter in its hand, directed to Mr. Rous. After it had been there about half an hour, the footman, who had been watching it, took it in, and the crowd wklch had assembled round the door dispersed RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) ►Ol ------;;ir Tr PARLIAMENTARY Di Co ollsl4 (Front the Votes and Proceedings of the HOW ' TUEBDAY, JUNE 3. 0 LANDED INTEREST.

(LEFT BITTING.) GROUP GG. GLASGOW DISTRICT. The Committee, consisting of the Chairman (Mr. Evans), Lord Grimston, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Miles, and Mr. Newdegate, sat at twelve o'clock in the Sessions House of Westmiuster, when the consideration of the GLASGOW JUATCTION RAILIATAY was proceeded with. Mr. Phillips, merchant, Leith, who had been before the Com mittee at the hour of adjournment yesterday, was recalled, and cross-examined by Mr. Hope—The witness was asked if the trade between Leith and the ports on the west coast of Scotland would be likely to be increased or diminished by the proposed line 2 He gave it as his opinion that it would be greatly increased, as the railways gave such increased facilities to traffic by diminishing the time required in transit, and lowering the rate of freight. Mr. Stoddart. member of the Town Council of Edinburgh, gave similar evidence. He thought that the travelling under the streets of Glasgow would do no injury, for they had an example of the same kind in the proposed extension of the Edinburgh Railway to Leith, where the line went under the houses for a distance of nearly a mile. (LNIPT SITTING.) GROUP K. DIRECT N OZLWZCTZ R ILWAY. The Committee on this lint met this morning, and resumed its business by the examination of Mr. Isaacson, who, in answer to Mr. LEE, deposed to being a land valuator, and having surveyed had estimated the cost of land necessary for the construction of the line ; it would require 150 acres, being at the rate of 12 acres per mile, and including seven acres for stations. Some of the land he computed at the lowest rate of 101., and some at 121. the highest price per acre. Cross-examined by Mr. RODWELL—The land at 121. per acre is that immediately contiguous to the town. The estimate does not in. elude any allowance for spoiled land. Mr. Charles Stooks, examined by Mr. LEE—Is assistant to Sir John Rennie. Heard the evidence of that gentleman yesterday and can vouch for its accuracy. Instead of II acres, the usual rate per mile, 12 acres had been set down in the estimates for the pre sent line. This having closed the case for the promoters of the Direct Nor• with line, Mr. AnonSS's, Q.C., proceeded to open the case of the Norwich and Brandon line, and made a preliminary objection to the oppo sition of the Eastern Counties Extension Railway, the East Dere ham and Lynn branch, landowners on either line, and the inhabi tants of the town of King's Lynn. The Committee, however, having admitted the right of the various parties to oppose, at the same time recommending that the conaicting interests should merge their claims into one specific case, the Learned Counsel briefly detailed the main features of the Bill. Its first project was to embrace the town of Thetford, the branch in that direction requiring no additional expense above the sum originally estimated for the independent line. The second scheme was the construction of the line from Wyndham to East Dereham, going direct across to London, and affording considerable undeniable facilities to the vast tragic in those districts. (LEST SITTING.) ,GROUP KK. LIVERPOOL AND BURY LINE. The Committee resumed at the usual hour. Mr. John Turner was the first witness called. He is a native of Haywood, 8 miles from Bury. Haywood contained a population of 15,000 persons. The following was a statement of the amount of goods annually brought into Haywood from Liverpool :—Cotton, 8,506 tons; coals for manufacturing purposes, 71,101 ; flour, 261; iron and lead, 1,720; timber, 1,000; groceries, 80; potatoes, 936; stone, 400 ; cannel, 15,000 ; coal for domestic purposes, 15,600. The whole amount being 101,304 tons of commodities annually imported from Liverpool into Haywood. The present price of carriage was 11 s. Bd. from Liverpool ; by the projected line it would be only 9s. 3d., as they would carry them at 3d. per ton per mile, which would be the maximum price. This would afford an annual saving to the people of Wigan or 7,850/. 15s. in respect to coal, and in cotton of 1,027/. I6s. 2d., the coal for domestic pur poses 780/., in sundries 537/. 10s., in agricultural produce 2341. and by carriage 6341., by the greater cheapness which they would ob tain produce through the new line. The whole saving to the people of Wigan by the projected hr, would he 11,01241. Is. Vii. yearly, Mi. William Pearce, superintending agent to the Earl of Bal. carras at the %Vigan coal mines. stated that he had been thiriecn years in his Lordship's employment. Lord Belcarras was the largest coal-mine proprietor in that district. He raised a large quantity of cannel coal. Lord Belcarras employed 1,000 colliers, and had engines of 450 horse power. The quantity of tons raised by his Lordship annually was 200,000. The cannel coal was sent to Bolton, Bury, Haywood, Middleton, Rochdale, Ashton ; and Oldham. Coal was sent thence to all parts of South Lanca shire and North Cheshire. There was a large number of collieries around Wigan at which there were annually raised 1,A00,006 tons of coal. Had seen the plans and sections of the Liverpool and Bury Railway; knew the neighbourhood through which it would pass. Was therefore enabled to say that the line would pass through the most productive parts of the Wigan coalfields. A large portion of these coal-fields was not worked at all in come. quence of their remoteness from any mode of transit. There were 60 1.5 square miles of coal-fields through which no line passed, or 38,528 acres, or 1,186,341 acres of one foot thick of coal. (LEFT CITTLNG.) GROUP LL. THE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY EXTENSION. This Committee sat at twelve o'clock this morning, and pro. ceeded to hear the evidence of Mr. Bennett and Mr. Deacon, who corroborated the statements made yesterday by the witnesses in favour of the extension of this line to a point equally distant from Westminster, Waterloo, and Hungerford.bridges. The Omit:tux said it was the desire of the Committee to know whether there were any witnesses to prove that the extension would be advantageous to the inhabitants of the west end of the town; there was no doubt that it would be beneficial to those who resided near the bridges in question. Mr. SMIRKS said that they had already shown that it would be favourable to the city of London. He wished that the Committee would adjourn till to-morrow, when he would be able to produce the necessary evidence. (LEFT EITTINS.) GROUP N. CORNWALL RAILWAY. At the sitting of the Committee, the case of the petitioner was proceeded with. Mr. R. T. Hall, a surveyor in Cornwall, some time an Assistant to Mr. Thomas, the petitioner. He said, in No. vember last, he was occupied for some time, in conjunction with Mr. Thomas, in surveying the central line, indicated on the map by a red line. On that portion of the line, at Halgarven and west. ward to Falmouth, there were no curves of less radius than chains, and that there were only two of a radius of 30. The ge neral curves on this part of the line were about three quarters of a mile. No roads from Halgarven to Falmouth were crossed on a level Mr. Rosa said it was with much pleasure that he had to inform the Committee that, after a consultation with his client, and after considering the great body of important evidence which he had offered for the last two days, it was not his intention to call any additional witnesses, and he was prepared then to address the Com mittee against the preamble of the Bill. The Learned Gentleman then addressed the Committee on behalf of the petitioner. Mr, Thomas was an honest man. He might not be an engineer of the old school, but that was no argument against his consistency, and his opinion was as much entitled to consideration as that of Captain Moorsom, who, as a matter of course, was most desirous to get his scheme adopted by the Committee. He (Mr. Rowe) did not re. present Mr. Thomas only, although lie ostensibly appeared for that gentleman, but he represented a great and important body of the inhabitants of Cornwall, who considered that a central line would offer far greater facilities than the coast line. (LEFT SITTING.) GROUP X. LONDON AND YORE LXNE. The Committee, to whose investigation the merits of the seve. ral lines comprehended in what is called " Group X," and which enumerates no fewer than seven distinct lines of railway, assem. bled this day, in Committee-room No. 8, at about half-past twelve o'clock. and resumed the hearing of evidence as to the merits of the London and York projection; but although this is now the middle of the fifth week that the Committee have been sitting, for six days in each week, and four hours and a half each day, the case appears to be about as distant from its close as it was four weeks ago. The position in which it now stands is shortly this :—The traffic evidence was put a atop to on Friday last, at the request of the various counsel for the competing lines, upon the ground that the traffic tables were so numerous, so long, so minute, and so difficult to he understood, that the time allowed the Learned Gentlemen for the study of them was so short as to render it impossible that they could make them selves sufficiently familiar with their contents as to proceed pith the erose.examination of them to their own ratiffaction or with justice to their clients. (T.SZT PITTING.) The Committee met at twelve o'clock,lMr. Henley in the chair. 3he postponed clause of THE GREAT BOUT/ILAN AND WESTERN from yesterday, after a long discussion, was again postponed until Friday. The unopposed clauses of the WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY were then agreed to, and the Committee adjourned until. Friday. THE CALEDOi lAN, THE GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, ANL CAZIAISLE, AND THE CZYDLSDAL= XITIV CTION. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, and, after deliberating some time on the points which they bad not derini lively decided on their adjournmmt yesterday afternoon, The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee, having proceeded to the consideration of the subjects before them, had come to the delibe rate and unanimous decision, that the preamble of the Bill called the Glasgow,Durntries, and Carlisle Railway Bill, had not been proved. Mr. HILDTARD then said he appeared on behalf of the Glasgow and Garnkirk Railway, to oppose the Motherwell branch of the Clydesdale Junction Railway, and called Mr. King to give evi dence, who was examined by Mr. CRANFORD. Mr. King deposed that the authorised original capital of the Garnkirk line was 140,0001., and the rate of dividends on that capital had averaged, for some years past, about 2i per cent. The directors of the Garnkirk Railway applied to Parliament last year for a new Act, which they obtained, for the purpose of making two different extensions of their line. One of these extensions was intended to carry the line further into the city of Glasgow, and was now in course of construction, The extension would doubtless be a very considerable improvement, as it would bring the terminus of the Garnkirk line to a convenient terminus, and both passengers and goods be carried nearer to the centre of the city and to the harbour. The expense of the extension would be 50,0004 (LaFT SITTINe.) The Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual hour this morning, and proceeded with the negative evidence against the The Rev. Mr. Muir, one of the officiating ministers of Dysart Kirk, was called to prove that the line would pass so near that es tablishment as to interrupt the performance of Divine service, as well as pass through the burial ground attached to the kirk. The witness added that the railway would prove an eyesore and a nui sance to the inhabitants of Dysart House, at present in the pos session of the Earl of Rosslyn.
