rbirb Etrition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) TRW. AT BAR.—THE GREAT DISTILLERY CASE. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL r. GEORGE SMITH. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Edgar Eldrake examined by Mr. JARVIS—Was a surveyor of Excise. In consequence of differences between Mr. Smith and the officer in charge of the premises, respecting the dip of the receiver, witness and another officer went on Monday, 'the 30th March, to test the dip. He found nearly a tenth more than Drinkwater and Batten had found. Mr. Smith accounted for the increase, by the dripping of water into the receiver. Witness tried by holding a quart jug under the pipe when the water dripped back, to ascertain whether the fact might be as Mr. Smith had represented. Found that the jug was full in seven minutes, and that would allow the whole quantity in the pipe to drip back in six or seven hours. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—Found that there was a reduction of the strength of the spirits from Saturday to Monday. The difference was equal to seventeen gallons on the whole. The Excise did not make any allowance on that account. They adhered to the dip as found by Batten on Saturday. Re-examined by Mr. JARVIS—The Excise put an addi tional cock on the receiver to prevent the trader from running in water and working of spirit. The difference of seventeen gallons of spirit would be fully accounted for by evaporation between Saturday and Monday. Thomas Frankish, examined by Mr. WILDE :—Was a sur veyor &Excise. In March, 1844, went to Mr. Smith's dis tillery with the officers, Cameron, Drinkwater, and Batten. I saw Mr. George Smith, when Cameron asked him if there was not communication between the distillery and the recti fying-house ? Cameron added, that no doubt Mr. James smith had told him what he (Cameron) had said the pre vious day. Mr. Smith said, that Cameron had no right to assume that his brother :had told him anything. Cameron again asked, was there any communication between the two premises. Mr. Smith said there was, for water, which supplied the whole neighbourhood, by pipes connected with the Com pany's main. Witness was present at the experiment men tioned by the other witnesses. Ile saw the spirits passed from the vat No. 8 in the distillery to the vat No. 17 in the rectifying- house. On a subsequent day witness examined the Water Company's pipes, and found that they had no connexion with the pipes in Mr. Smith's premises. Cross. examined by Mr. MARTIN—When Mr. Smith said to Cameron that the pipes communicating between the two premises was for the conveyance of water, Smith went away with Cameron, but witness did not know it was for the purpose of showing him the course of the pipes. Ween the experi ment was made upon the pipe, it commenced at one o'clock. The first trial was with water. That was procured from the tank at the top of the house. They did not think them selves ready for the experiment with spirits until five o'clock. They made those experiments with spirits, of which two were failures. The third experiment, which was success ful, did not commence until eight o'clock. Did not kncw whether any material repairs were made upon the cocks from five o'clock to eight, for he was not present. Ile was chiefly in the rectifying-house. When the water came into the vat No. 17, it ran for five or six minutes. The spirits then came over and continued running for about 25 minutes. The officers then ran about 1,100 gallons of water to clear the pipes of all the spirit. That was done for the satisfaction of all parties, that there might be no doubt that the spirits had all been driven out. Witness has been a long time in the Excise, and has often found great variation in the dip of the receiver. Surveys Muir and Co.'s distillery, and sometimes, but not often, finds a variation in the dip. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Do you find a variation of so much as two-tenths. , The LORD CHIEF BARON—Mr. Solicitor, you had better not go into that, which, for aught we know, will be another issue for trial.—(A laugh.) It is enough to take his an ' swer, that he does find variations. By the COURT—They found an apparent loss of more than IQ° gallons of spirits after the experiment. But that was accounted for by the imperfect indications of the hygrometer at the low strength of the spirits, mixed with so much water. Made several experiments subsequently to ascertain what the apparent loss would be on spirits mixed with water in various proportions. The result of this was, to account satisfactorily for the ap , parent loss. It was also found that there was lime in the vat, and that would prevent the hygrometer from acting rightly. If mud or dregs were mixed with the spirit, the action of the hygrometer would be disturbed. That instrument acts with certainty only upon pure spirit, and for that reason it is never used upon the worts. It is the saccharometer that is used upon worts. Drinkwater and witness afterwards made an experiment upon the contents of the vat, which accounted fully for the decrease. Their Lordships and the jury then retired for refreshment. 'When the Court resumed, the SOLICITOR: GENERAL called Cameron, who deposed to the game statements as those which had been made by the previous witnesses as to the conversation with Mr. Smith, and the experiment upon the pipe. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he had only called the wit ness to give the Learned Counsel for the defence an oppor tunity of cross examination. Mr. WATSON then asked the witness whether he had made any notes?—He had, but. they contained nothing but dates. He had them not with hint, but they were is a place at a short distance from the Court. I The witness was then told to produce the notes, and he withdr e w f o r th e p urpose. ] The LORD CHIEF BARON—Mr. Watson, if you produce the notes, you must put them in evidence, for the witness bas not used them here as vouchers. Mr. WATSON declined to make the notes evidence, and, on the witness's return, proceeded to cross-examine him—Wit ness believed that he commenced the experiment with water, •at five o'clock, and not at one ; but he would not swear that any one who stated that the experiment was commenced at one o'clock had stated a falsehood. Ile had a very good me mory, and he believed that he did not commence until five o'clock ; but he would not swear to it. Mr. Milne, civil engineer to the New River Company ' examined by theSOLICITOR.GENLRAL—IIad made a surve) of • 11 'premises belonging to Mr. Smi;h in company with a per son named Fox. The model in court is a correct representa • tion of the premises, on a scale of an eighth of an inch to the foot. The witness then described, with the aid of the model, the course of the pipe communicating from the distillery to the rectifying house, and explained that by stopping off cer tain cocks and insertin g others, the water might be t urne d off, and wash could be transmitted from the distillery to the rectifying-house. That after those orifices had been closed the wash might be drawn out by syphons, which would draw out the wash by aide orifices. There was a screw on No. 8, to which a screw might be attached; and opposite to this there was an orifice, to which there was als a screw attached, and these screws corresponded, one being a male and the other a female screw. ,There were three nozzles in the premises, one over the sink, one over the cistern, and one over the pipe to which he had alluded. There was a commu nication on the vat No. 8, which might be entirely emptied through the pipe which he had described as commu nicating between one part of the premises and another. There was a communication between the sink and the recti fying -house, but a longer nozzle would be required than now exists. There is a communication also between the vat under the sink and the cistern, by the attachment of a longer nozzle, and the spirit could also be drawn from the other vats as from the vat No. 8. If the principle of a .syphon were applied to the pipes, there would be water drawn off to the extent of 300 gallons, and if the longer leg of the syphon were applied to the spirit arid the shorter to the water, the spirit would immediately follow after the water had been drawn off, and this spirit might be pumped into any of the vats. There was wi;at was called a dead pipe, there being no outlet at the end of it, but there were several flanges on the side of the pipe to which pipes might be applied, and he conceived that the branch pipes were old and the flanges of recent origin compara.ively. There was no con nexion between the East London Water works Company and the pipe w !deb ran between the distillery and :1:e roc ing premises, and there was nothing between the main in Buck's-row and the rectifying premises. To a question from the CHIEF BARON, the witness replied that there was no communication between the East London Water-works Company's undo and the distillery premises. Knowing the premises, he heliewd that the whole of the water required for the rectifying premises could be supplied to the w hole of the works, except for the still heads through the trough in the middle, but by raising the trough eight feet, the whole of the water might be poured into the still head. To the inquiries of Mr. F. KELLY, Mr. Milne replied that he was aware that a large cistern—one that could supply many thousand gallons—would be required to be erected, and. that there was no tank on the premises that could possibly supply the requirement at present. There were three tanks oil the premises, and two establish ments were, required to supply the premises, and the whole of the water must come from the main of the Water-works Company,: &c. The tanks on the premises were supplied . from the main, and it would be necessary to make great alterations to put machinery on the trough so as to draw off the water. In order to supply the still heads, there roust be pipes from the trough through the worm tube to the still heads and the cistern must be enlarged in order to render this commu nication available, bat if this communication were to be made efficient, the whole of the premises might be supplied. The large reservoir was only made last year, the top of the old reservoir being three feet lower than the trough. At the present time there was no part of the premises suppllied from the trough, except that which passed into theworni-tube, and the remainder ran to waste. There was a pipe which entered the wash reservoir, which could convey the wash into the rectifying-house, which entered the reservoir very near the top,. and it would be necessary to have the reservoir full be fore the supply could be made to the rectifying- house ; but the pipe went to the bottom of the reservoir, and he conceived that the power of suction would draw up the wash from the lower level. There was a gas pipe which ran on a corre sponding level with this pipe, but he did not know what this pipe supplied. Mr. Charles Fox, a civil engineer upon the Birmingham —Railway, had taken the level of the premises with Mr. Milne. He had made an examination of the wash reservoir, and he agreed with Mr. Milne in the levels Stated in that gentle man's evidence. Mr. Thomas Kirby w pipes in 1836, during „ i as h employ - ed in laying down the year the rectifying-house was built, but he knew nothing be the blind pipe. He was em ployed two days in laving down those pipes. in reply to t o h ir e t C h i e n - b e o - B x o e n e t o h x . e , the . witness stated that he knew nothing This concluded the ca,e for thein Cmain. Mr. KELLY stated that as it sva:wnl. necessary to substitute one model for another, he thought it be better to ad journ the ease, especially as if he began then be . should occupy as much time to-niorrow as if he began now, The Lorin CHIEF BARON considered tl O ia ‘ l , the request of the Learned Counsel was quite reasonable. The Souerrou-Cie.NER AL had stated to his Learned Friend that he had intentionally shortened the case, and he should, theiefore, be willing to accede to such adjouri,ment. The foreman of the Jury said, that though "the jury - aware that these adjourn men t s were quite necessary, ''VLier time was very valuable, and the sacrifice of it of great im portance to themselves; he should be glad to know whether they might calculate on the case being concluded to-morrow? Mr. KELLY said that he thought he could conclude the state ment of the defendants to-morrow ; but as the Counsel for the Crown would reply, he feared the case could not be con cluded then. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he would make his statement as short as possible; and that, if not to-morrow, at least the case would be concluded on Wednesday. There being no other cases to be taken to-day, the Court adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Saturday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Queen's Head, High.strect, poplar, on the body of limes Hurley, aged fourteen years. Jt ap peared by the evidence, that on the 9th inst deceased, with several other boys, was at play on board some barges lying off the Wapping entrance of the London Docks, and on attempting to step from one barge to another he fell between them into the rivs r, t,nd imam. diateiy sunk. The drags were put in requisition for upwards Of three hours, without effect. The body was discovered on Frith& WE Wagta Vf.fdid..." AGGidelltiti detiw ilit /V-PPA II P-dt a ff - - - % • ' i ' --:'1 , :t..., k: : (CCv.- 2‘,1„ .. a tic RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) Group DD. The Committee met at twelve o'clock in room No. 14, and consisted of Mr. Parker . (Sheffield), Chairman; Mr. Mon tague Gore, Sir P. Egerton, Lord Ebrington, and Mr. East. At first there were no arrangements made for the accom modation of the reporters, but on a representation being made to that effect to Mr. Parker, the Chairman, he very kindly directed that accommodation should be provided for them. The railway comprised in group DD. are the Caledonian, Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, Clydesdale Junction, Edin burgh and Glasgow, and Scottish Central. After a great deal of preliminary discussion, it was agreed that the Scottish Central, and the Edinburgh and Glasgow lines should be taken into consideration. Both are com peting lines. Mr. Johnson, of Kinkardine, and some of the inhabitants of Perth. petitioned against the Scottish Central scheme. Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Hope, appeared for the Scottish line, Mr. 111'Neill appeared for the Edinburgh and Glasgow line ; Sir Thomas Philips and Mr. llildyard appeared for the Dumfries line. Mr. TALBOT stated the case on behalf of the Scottish Cen tral line. Ile said that the object of the projectors of this line was to make a line of railway, which was to be forty five miles in length, reversing the natural order, and com mencing from the north ; tt:is line might be said to pass from Perth. by Strathedon, and through Stirling, till it com municated in two places with the Edinburgh and Glasgow, to the western point, being a place called Castlecary, which formed the extreme terminus of the Caledonian Railway towards the north, the distance being 18 miles.from Glasgow, the eastern point being at Falkirk, 24 miles from Edinburgh, so that it might be said to bisect the Edinburgh and Glas gow line. The estimate for the construction of the line was 850,00 CL, and there were no engineering difficulties along the line. There were 155,000 souls along the line, and if the branches extended to a distance of 10 miles on each side of the line, and to 20 miles from the terminus, it would 'com prise a population of 700,000 souls. One of the advantages of the line was, that it would get rid of the ferries of the Frith of Forth and the Frith of 'ray. A very large amount of passengers was expected. Be tween Duidee and Glasgow there was a considerable traffic in goods expected. From Dundee to Glasgow a large amount of linen, canvass sacking, and Baltic produce would be con veyed, and from Glasgow to Dundee, colonial produce, Irish provisions, and grain would be con, eyed. Between Perth and Glasgow there would be a traffic from the former to the latter place in grain, meal, and manufactured goods, and from the latter to the former place in flax, iron, and colonial produce. It would afford a cheap means of conveyance for the Bannockburn coals to Perth, to which place the supply of coals was inconvenient and ex pensive, having to be carted twenty-five miles. There were petitions against the Bill from Mr. Johnson, of Kincardine, from certain inhabitants of Perth, who opposed the Bill on account of the proposed scheme interfering with the North and South Inch ; but he begged to say that the pro prietors generally of the counties of Perth and Stirling were in favour of the Bill. Mr. CROFTON appeared for the Edinburgh and Northern line, and begged of the Committee to reserve a right to him of cross-examining the witnesses in support of the Scottish Central line with respect to a certain clause in the Bill. Mr. PONSONBY claimed a similar right on behalf of Lord Kinnaird, the Chairman of the Dundee and Perth line. Mr. Sidny, Provost of Perth, was then called and ex amined in support of the facts stated by Mr. Talbot, and was cross-examined by Mr. Tytler, who appeared in support of the petition from those inhabitants of Perth who opposed the line en account of interfering with the South Inch. The effect of the evidence of this gentleman was, that Perth would be considerably benefited by the proposed railway ; that the Inch near the town was used as a place of recrea tion, and that it would be occupied to a certain extent by the proposed railway. Mr. George Buchanan, the owner of a cotton mill near Perth, gave testimony corroborative of the evidence of the former witness ; after which the Committee adjourned til' Twelve o'clock to-morrow. BL: ACKBURN, BURNLEY, ACCRINGTON, AND COLNE ; OR EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY. • ro D. The adjourned Committee G m up et this afternoon at half-pasi two, and immediately proceeded to business; Mr. Bernal in the Chair. A clause regulating the maximum of rates which had been directed to be added to the Bill, and which had been prepared by Mr. Coates, the agent, since the last meeting of the Committee, was submitted by hint. The clause limits the tolls for first .class passengers, including use of carriage, &c., to 4d. per mile; and for second and third class passengers carriages will be provided to travel at the rate of twelve miles per hour, and the tolls will be restricted to Id. per mile. The clause was ordered to be made part of the Bill. Mr. PAGET, who, it will be recollected, made an ap plication a few days ago to the Committee to be heard on petition, in opposition to the Blackburn and Colne line, on behalf of the Manchester, Bury, and 'Bolton Canal and Railway Company, renewed his applicaton. The clause to which he objected had been passed during the absence of the Parliamentary agent and himself; and, con sequently, they had no opportunity of opposing its introduc tion into the Bill. He would wish now to proceed with his objections if it met the views of the Committee. After considerable discussion, The CHAIRMAN stated that, looking at the matter in the strongest light, the Committee could come to no other resolution than to refuse to hear counsel in support of the petition presented by the Manchester, Bury, and Bolton Canal Company, unless the permission of the promoters of the Blackburn, Accrington, and Colne Railway was first ob tained. The clause which Mr. Paget appeared to oppose had received the Chairman's signature, and had become part of the Bill, and, therefore, the Committee were unanimously of opinion he could not proceed with his opposition. The agent for the Blackburn, Accrington, and Colne way, having refused to give his consent for counsel to be heard, Mr. PAGET requested that the presentation of the petition and the decision of the Committee with regard to his applica tion, might be entered on the minutes. The CHAIRMAN acquiesced ; and, after the introduction of a few more clauses, ordered the Bill to be reported. TILE LEEDS AND BRADFORD RAILWAY was then proceeded with. Mr. Pritt, the agent, introduced a short clause for regu lating the gradients to meet the views of the Board of Trade, and also a few more clauses for limiting the maximum rates, &c. The clauses were all passed without opposition, and the Chairman ordered the Bill to be reported. The last Bill brought forward was the BLACKBURN, DARWEN, AND BOLTON RAILWAY, which, after the introduction of several clauses of a similar nature to those already alluded to, and which were passed without opposition, was also ordered to be reported. This terminated the business of the Committee with regard to all the schemes comprised in group D. The Bills will be reported on Thursday next. Committee S. This Committee, Mr. Stuart Wortley, Chairman, re-assembled this day at half-past two o'clock in room 17, to dispose of the remaining clauses in THE BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY. Mr. ALEXANDER proposed that the maximum rate of tolls and charges on the line should be aid. per mile. The Committee were of opinion that 3d. would answer the purpose. This rate after some discussion was agreed to. Several other clauses were then gone into, and after some amendments, they passed. The Bill having been gone through, • The CHAIRMAN said that he would report specially to the House in respect to the report of the Board of Trade regard ing this Bill. The Board of Trade had reported that the Belfast and Ballymena Railway would be both expensive and unremunerative, and that the line of railway would have but a single line of rails, whereas the evidence showed that there would be a double line of rails. After this decision the Committee adjourned to the 20th of May. Sub-Committee No. 1. This Committee re - assembled at , one o'clock, Mr. Strutt in the chair. LIVERPOOL AND ORMSKIRK RAILWAY. This adjourned case came on to day, and the remaining allegations were gone through. Standing orders not com plied with in several instances. RICHMOND AND STAINES RAILWAY. The petition for this Bill came on to-day; the prepara tory forms were gone through, and the further hearing was adjourned till twelve o'ckek to. morrow. LEEDS AND _WEST RIDING LINE. Mr. AUSTIN (in contindatioa from our Afternoon Edition) said—From that the line was a descent, and the traffic upon that down line, in iron alone, was about 23,000 tons of pig and bar iron per annum, besides an enormous traffic in coals, therefore it this line were made, it would be of great conve nience. They then proposed to cross Lomore at the most convenient height for all purposes. The length of tunnel proposed to be made on the line from Copley-hills to Hali fax, was 92 yards; the second tunnel, that from Halifax, at Beacon-hill, would be 836 yards ; the third, at Lightclifl; would be 345 yards; the fourth, at Wyke, near Lomore, would be, 1,238 yards; and the district from Lomore to Leeds was a uniform level of lin 100. There were no engi neering difficulties on the line, but there was to be a tunnel of 1,696 yards ; and the station at Leeds would.be found to be as convenient as it is possible to make it for all rail way purposes. He would now go back to Lomore. The tunnel on the line from Leeds to Bradford would be 1,092 yards, and that line could be made on a gradient of 1 in 70. The line from Lomore to Dewsbury was 7i miles long, and there would be no tunnelling in it; then they proposed to go from Wisbrig to Brighouse. where they proposed to join the Leeds and Manchester line, and there would be no tunnelling on that either. Thus, then, he had shown that this under taking would consist of six lines and five branches, and would be understood as the West Riding line. The extent of mileage was about 341 miles, having six tunnels, a n d th e whole cost had been estimated at about 1,100,0001., or at the rate of 34,0004 per mile. lle would now proceed to call his witr esses. Mr. BAINF:S said that perhaps he would save some trouble and loss of time by now repeating an offer which he had made before. He was now ready, on behalf of the Dews bury Company, to repeat their otter, which, if acceded to, would secure all the contemplated advantages to the public without injury to the Leeds and Manchester Company. It was this—to give the Dewsbnry Company the power to make their line between Leeds and Mirfield, at the point where Mirfield was joined, the Dewsbury Company giving up the Cooper-bridge line, un condition that the Leeds and Manchester Company would allow an uninterrupted communication to pass between Leeds and Huddersfield by Cooper-bridge. Mr. AUSTIN said tie could not be prepared before to-morrow morning to give an answer to the propositiod. The first witness called was Mr. Frith, who deposed that he had manufactories at Leeds, Bradford, Nottingham, and Glasgow, and that the lines of rail proposed by the Leeds and Manchester Company would afford great convenience to his manufactories for the transit of his goods, coals, &c. Mr. Hubert Baker —Was a member of the Leeds Town Council, and the author o n f er t s hesnitary report of the town for - conveniencela g w u a C n n i t n , so wasier e t e h n e t in t r tn r a h e n e d s i t a l ger enormous igreat r t proposedin t coals, aml linesu o u f f a 'I : - t ho o iu r cl i hd e s an e f the town.mr.John Botterill deposed that he was an extensive dyer, and that the saving to his firm in the cartage of coals by the prop( scti lines would be very great, and dthe supply a s abun ptonyt a t o n d s o c l e t rt u a , i o n i r . coahilsedat offerpearn had ton , cheaper if thi s li ne were from one coal corn made. Mr. Bateson—ls a n Ald erman of the borough of Leed s , and a member o f th e W est Riding Railway the present sche me contemplates the 147 Committe e;e callodtbo short line of last year; the object was to 'shorten the distance between Halif a x an d L eeds, last year, by a line from Leas to Bradford; the short line would be . .advantageous to the woollen districts, particularly arPud ny, where low cloths were made by the workmen in their twn houses; if there were a line of raj' from Pudsey to LAW N . „„_ Qat wgol Ix great traffic lVO it. "pc -Telvia-cousg Leeds and the poor-law guardians, and many others had signed petitions in favour of this line. Cross-examined—The petition of the Town-council was not a corporate act, but the act of individuals ; did not hear that the same parties signed a petition for and against this line. Mr. Benion—ls a magistrate of the West Riding, and is in the trade of flax-spinning at Leeds. Was of opinion that the proposed line w•as of the greatest importance to the trade of that district. Mr. Cliff, a resident at Wortley, and an extensive dealer in bricks, gave evidence in favour of the line. Mr. Grant, another resident of Wortley, and a surveyor of one portion of the township, agreed with Mr. Cl'ff that the West Riding line was the more preferable of the two. Mr. H. Carr, a cloth manufacturer, living at Little Moor, in the township of Pudsey, said the population of Pudsey was about 10,000, most of whom were in favour of the West Riding line. 11r. TALBOT intimated that this closed their evidence for one of the districts through which their line passed. The Committee then adjourned. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Earl of RIPON brought in a Bill to amend the law relating to :appeals from India.

Several Noble Lords presented petitions against the proposed grant to Maynooth. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a Pres byterian congregation at Loumore, which the Noble Lord said complained of the humors of Popery, but nevertheless in favour of the grant. The same NOBLE LORD presented a petition, numer ously signed, complaining of the Act passed last session for abolishing impri,onment for debt. The Duke of RICHMOND pres, nted petitions to a similar effect from Sherbourne, Shaftesbury, C. wes, Gosport, Leamington, Sou, hampton, Portsea, Penzance, Bradford, Tunbridge, Devizes, and Andover. They were referred to the Select Committee on the Bill. MAYN 00 'I H.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished — totiring before their Lordship's notice a matter which, in his opinion, involved a gross disgrace to the Judicature of the country. His authority was only that of a newspaper, and he thought that it was not only calculate d to excite an irre ligious impression, but to induce that which would be dis creditable to the law, and injurious to the administration of justice throughout the whole community. He alluded to a matter which had occurred at the gaol of Newgate only yesterday. In referring to this case be Mt bound also to refer to a circumstance which had ec•• curred at the offices of public justice at the town of Aylesbury only the other day, and in doing so he was anxious that the authorities of the great city of London would imitate so good an example. He found by the new-papers that the public yesterday were admitted to what was called the condemned sermon in Newgate. The report stated that in cons( quence of the arrangements of Mc. Cope, the governor, the public were admitted by tickets, and that not the slightest con fusion had ensued. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. NEW MEMBER.

CLERK state clti;;ti; documents which had be en laid before the Raiaay Committee of the Board of Tredewere now deposited in the clerks' office of the (louse. He thought that the best way by which they could be rendered acceptable to all the parties interested would be by referring the several documents to the Railway Committee upon the different Bills to which the docu ments related. He sLould, therefore, move that the documents be now so refe;red. Mr. IIASTIE presented seven petitions against the grant to Ma)rtooth, Colonel ACTON presented several petitions to the same effect, from Wicklow. Several petitions were presented against the proposed Maynooth grant. Lord BERNARD presented several petitions from places in Cot k against the increased grant to Maynooth. Sir J.

Sir INGLIS presented a petition from a parish in the county of Ayr against the Gosernment measure with respect to Maynooth. It stated that endowing the Roman Catholic priesthood would be to- support iuola tors, and to render them partakers in the sin of idolatry. —(Laughter.) He also presented petitions from several parishes in the counties of Suffolk, Perth, Down, aed Stafford, to the same Fife( t. WINWICK RECTORY BILL. (FURTITER CONSIDERATION.) Sir R. INGLIS, on the report o❑ this Bill being pre- sented, took occasion to eulogise the conduct of the Rector of Winwiek, who, he stated, endowed seven parishes out of his rectorial income.—The report was received. Mr. COLLETT put a question relative to the pay ment of Colonial Bishops, which was not audible. Mr. HOPE, in reply, said it was true Bishops had been appointed at Colombo and at New Brunswick, but neeither were paid for by the people of this country. The Bishop of Colt nib° was paid for by the colony itself, the Bishop of New Brunswick by a fund raised in this country for the endowment of colonial bishops. Captain BERKELEY wished to know whether it was true that the Commander-in-Chief had ordered the officers of the two r...gireents of Life Guards, to provide for the payment of hands as in the line, and if so to l ay the copy of such ord. rs on the table oithat House. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said it was quite true that such an order had been issued. He would ascertain whether it cuuld be laid on the table of the House, but at present did not think it was a matter in which Parlia ment should inteecre.--(llvar, hear.) Mr. WAKLEY asked Sir James Graham if he would consent to a motion for a return of a copy of the answer addressed to the Committee of the National Association of General Practitioners, by the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons. Sir J. GRAHAM said that in a day or two he would lay on the table of the House the correspondence to which the Hon. Member referred. THE BRAZILS. Sir R. PEEL said, in answer to a question from Mr. Grimsditch, that the information which her Majesty's Government had received upon the subject bad been but very recently received, -ard had been „,ammihqaunaidneoadte.tidowntoi:hutphtohene Queen's Advocate to report upon, ld tkm,r . m andcare Nh th atetn th t hoGna notice Hon.htßriecesepo subject Member of it . should je.ims ab.de rhe shouldh h e received , adh a bdem : h ug e : w ee - o e a u n s tilt ,lici. isaroutt, iii 01 :7 e t cl j tt u e s uce t re ci fe t r w rt u t h o bbeybodthe placed a motion upon the paper to the effect that be would move for copies of correspondenee that had passed between the Authorities at Rio de Janeiro and the Government of this country on this question; but if there was any objection- tnthe production of them, be would not press his motion. However, this he would say, that peat alarm had been felt as to the position of their commercial relations with Brazil ; and it was felt the great difficulty of their recent relations had been owing to the unfortunate policy of this country towards Brazil upon the Brazilian sugar question— (Hear, hear)—and, in fact, until the Government should retrace their steps t n that question, nothing else that they could do would have the effect of reassuring the British subjects in that colony that they were replaced in the full enjoyment of their privileges which they had a right to enjoy.— Hear, hear.) However, as he had stated, he would not press for the correspondence if there was any objection to it. Sir R. PEEL said he had before him a document is sued by the Brazilian Government, in which it was stated that every British subject in that colony should be restored to the fullest enjoyment of all their privi leges. He could not see the expediency of producing the correspondence alluded to by the Hon. Me tuber. Mr. II UME said he thought those evils had resulte d from the Government of this country interfering in the internal regulations of other countries.—(He ar, hear.) He felt satisfied that the Government would act wisely by rescinding Its acts. in reference to Brazil, and in leaving every country to carry on it s i ns ti tut i ons as i t deen.ess fit. He was sure that if any other country attempted to dictate to this what its institutions ought to be, he was sure that this country would reject such interference immediately.—(Hear. hear.) Mr. BRIGHT said he had a letter in his hand which he had received that moment, an extract frem which he would read to the House. This letter was dire cted to u firm in the City, and it state d t h at a gen tleman, named nu" eYe who died on the 10th of February, lot a will, under which a person named Castel( was al pointed to act as executor. At the tin e• of this gt ntleman's th ash he was loading a vessel, and had put into it about 1,5001. worth of goods, for the purt - ose of liquidating a debt ere to them ; but a judge claimed to nave the property, which was actually sold, and the pro ceees placed as a deposit its his foul t. A great inconve nience and loss was occasioned by the power now assumed by the Brazilian authorities, and in this instance the property which was valued at 1,500/. had been sold by the Judge for 900/. He agreed in the observations w Lich had fallen from the Honourable G. ntleman the Member fur Montrose, but he would submit that this was an evil which was occasioned by that combination of monopolists under whom the Right Hon. Baronet had to some extent sub mitted his Government. This was characterised as an unfriendly act of the Brazilian Government ; but how could it be expected that that Government should entertain any friendly feelings towards them. which, under a pretence which they all believed to be of a hypo cr i t i ca l c h arac t er —(Bear,' hear)—thi s country was p reven t e d f rom t ra di ng f a i r ly w i t h t h e Brazils—(Hear, hear)—and in the district from which he came there was the greatest possible dread that their trade with the Brazils, which amounted to a million and a ha.f, was jeopardised anti endangered from the course which this country had taken. He thought the Right Hon. Gentleman woulu do well to turn his attention to the Brazil trade, and en deavout to make some wise and salutary regulations with regard to it.—(H ear , hear.) Mr. BROTHERTON said he had received sever a l representation s f rom the p l ace w hi c h h e represent( d, on the subject o f th e oppressions to w hi c h t h e merchants were subjected to i n Braz il, an d grea t a l arm and ap Prehension was entertained as to the security of their property and interest in Brazil.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad th at her Majesty ' s G overnment pa id atten tion to the subj ect, and he truste d t h at someth i ng would be done to reme d y the evil:—( H ear, hear.) Sir R. INGLIS trusted that her Majesty's Ministers would not follow the advice of the Hon. Member for Montrose. There was not a sacrifice that the people of this country were not prepared to snake—there was no in crease in the price of sugar, or any other article, that they were not prepared to hear if there w ere a rea sonable certainty of stopping such a crime as truffle ne slavery. Mr. WARBURTON could not believe that the people of this country were so insensate as not to see the effect of the returns which had been made to that House with respect to the slave trade. From those returns it appeared that the numher of slaves which the British cruisers had arrested in their progress from Africa to the Spanish colonies or the Brazil: din not amount to more than three per cent. of the whole number carried from Africa to the opposite coasts of the Atlantic. When the British public looked at those reports, they could not but see that the measures which had been taken by the Govern went for the suppression of the slave trade were totally inefficient. Lord J. RUSSELL said that in the former treaty entered into by the present Government with Portugal, a treaty of trade and navigation had been entered into, giving protection to the lives and property of British subjects. He wished to know if in Ito treaty with Brazil, the Government had acted in a similar way. Sir It. PEEL said that attempts bad been made to complete the treaty in a similar way, and Le bad evt ry reason to believe that by that time the signatures of the plenipotentiaries bad been stlix. d to the matics. Mr. I .AEOLICIIERE raid that that was not an answer to the question of his Noble Friend. The question was, whether the separate trtaty would be signed before the other had expirt d on the 18th of No vember. bir It PEEL did not anticipate any difficulties in the way of signing the treaties. Mr. SHELL thought such a desultory conversation tended to no certain purpose. He was of opinion, there fore, that a resolution should be moved expressive of the opinion of the House with regard to the impolitic course pursued by the Government. in its negotiations with Brazil and if no other Hon. Member would propose such, he (Mr. Shiel) should take an e arly opportunity of doing so. The conversation then dropped. MAYNOOTH.

On the report on the Maynooth Endowment Bill being Mr. LAW said that he rose to offer to the considera tion of the House his 'Motion to negative, if possible, the proposition of her Majesty's Government, that all the charges, expenses,_ and burthens of the measurt, affecting the question o f Maynooth College, be defrayed in m the Consolidated Fund, and that the permanent State endowment of that Roman Catholic Col lege be drawn from the taxes of the people of this Country. He repudiated both these prepositions, and threw himself on the indulgence of the House in stating - such reasons as he may be enabled to advance %shy the consideration of these resolutions should be indefinitely postponed.

He threw himself on the kindness and indulgence of the House to allow him, in as concise a form as possible, to state tho grounds of his opposition, and the reasons for which he was now, and for ever would be, opposed to the measure. It was desirable th a t t h e principles of the Bill should be kept in view, a n d t h ese, he apprehended, were twofold. First, that it was desirable to make a pennant nt en dowment in f avour o f t h e k R oman C at h olic should ti, priesthood taxed io ; and,rd r to Secondl y , pay a thatr chargeempire such educati on. The fatter was the main f. attire of order the permanent the measure —the permanent State endowment of an establishment for the forming of the Roman Catholic priesthood. He (Mr. Law) was of opinion that the state should enter into no such alliance, and deprecated the principle of taxing the people of this country f o r any such purpose. CLEFT SPEARING.)

SPORTING IN TELLIGEA NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON,—At the clo - sing of the Craven week we published the engagements for the en suing meeting; we now repeat them for the purpose of show ing that the promise of sport held out by the list is not likely to be delusive. To this end we have placed the usual mark (an asterisk) before the names of the horses now in the town, and in training; amongst those thus distinguished, and the proportion is unusually large, will be found Worth less and Winchilsea, and Lord Glasgow's three fillies, which arrived last night. It is said that Old England and Win chester will be here towards the middle of the week ; W'ather bit, we hear, is not coming. The Goodwood lot, which is expected either this afternoon or to-morrow, will include Refraction, Red Deer, and Longitude. While on t hi s sub ject we E.ould state that Mr. Parry's Zanoni a rr i ve d l ast night, and he will be entered for one of the plates, with the object of bringing the question of pedigree within the juris diction of the Jockey Club, and thereby deciding the objec tion made to his nomination for the Chester Cup. The grand feature of the week will be the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, on Tuesday, for which Idas, Worthless, Winchilsea, • Wood Pigeon, Ki;dger, and one or two othErs are likely to start. The list, however, irrespective of this event—and its importance to those interested in the Derby cannot be over• rated—is intrinsically good. On the first day there are eight races made, of these all but the match between Cockamaroo and the Amulet colt are expected to come off, and with the addition of the plate, and one or two of the stakes that close this evening, will realize sport enough for any reason able appetite. The subsequent engagements include a very open 1,000 guineas stakes, and several matches and handicaps, &c., of considerable interest ; Friday, as usual, although it tOaSts of the Newmarket Stakes, is the weakest day in the list. The subjoined is an outline of the bill of fare for the week : Horses niarked.thus * are now at Newmarket. MONDAY.

ON WIRE AS A MATERIAL FOR BUILDING SUS PENSION BElDGES.—Although the use of wire offers some advantages, especially superior strength, bu!k for bulk compared with bars, general opinion is not in favour of its adoption, on account of the impossibility, nearly, of adjusting the length of the wires, so that when the cable has assumed its proper curvature, each wire may bear its due proportion of strain, and because of the increased liability to oxidate, in consequence of the increased surface offered by wires to the action of the atmosphere. It has been proposed that each wire should be passed through a vessel of varnish imme diately after the process of drawing, and that, after forming the wires into bundles of fifty or sixty etch, they should be passed through a concave vessel of oleaginous matter at a high temperature. By this pro cess it is supposed every particle of moistur e wou ld b e driven of in vapour, and its place occupied by the olea ginous substance in the interior of the cable, where it ould be retained by its adhesive property, while it would harden over the exterior, ar.d prevent oxiCation, by" removing the possibility of moisture coming into contact with the wire.— The Builder. SUICIDE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF DERRY.—By private letters received in town, we learn that Dr. M'Loughlin, the Roman Catholic Bishop of. Derry, died on Sunday from the etkct of a wound which he inflicted on his throat with a razor on the previous Wednesday. The dis tressing fact was kept quite secret in Derry for two or three days by his relatives, who were led to think by the medical man in attendance upon him that the wound would not prove mortal. It was said Dr. M'Loughlin was in a low state of mind for some time ; but his friends never apprehended that he would resort to violence upon himself. THE CONVICT OCKER.—THE CONDEMNED SEE ?stmt.—The convict Bucker attended Divine service ys s terday morning in the chapel of Newgate. The con demned sermon was preached in a most impressive manner by the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Ordinary of the prison, who took for his text the 6th verse of the 9th chapter of Genesis—" Whosoever sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man." Rocker appeared perfectly collected during the whole service, and joined in the responses, and also in the singing of the Psalms. Ills response to the commandment " Thou shalt do no murder," was pe culiarly clear and audible. - 1 1 1 HE EMPTATIONS OF OFFICE.—Sir Culling Eardley Smith stated at a public meeting last week, " The Bill should not pass. There were, he knew, at least twelve men in Parliament who would die on the floor of the House sooner than it should pass into a law." As Sir Robert is not infallible, he really should be protected from this new system of bribery.— Punch. IVIIITE FISHING.—We learn that the cod-fishing on the west coast has been prosecuted with considerable success this season, and the takes are still good. By our latest accounts, 'the price of good fish was 17/. 10s. per ton. An instance of rather novel sport occurred, in connexion with this fishing, a few days ago. As a party were sailing in a passage boat round one of the Applecrosa headlands, they discovered a shoal of cod on the sand in two fathoms of water. The boat con tained, amongst other things, a gaff hook and a fresh herring. The latter was attached to the end of the painter; and after havingbeen lowered amongst the cod, it was gently raised to the surface. On each occasion the bait was followed by one of the voracious fish, which was instantly gaffed and taken into the boat.—lnverness Courier. BRISTOL SUGAR 'MARIC ET, APRIL 25.—We con tinue to experience a very good demand for all descrip tions of raw sugar, and a large business has again been done at full grices. Refined goods are much wanted, as the supply is exhausted, and the refiners have sold on pro-forward delivery. Standard lumps are worth 70s. Treacle very scarce, and sale about 19s. to 20s. per cwt.—Bristol Mei curt'.

Spring with its effects on the complexion and con stitution generally.—_Z he system of every person is more or less affected at this period of the year, but to obviate these seeming natural accompaniments to a climate like our own, has been a subject for study hitherto unfathomed by even our most eminent physa cians and practitioners. An article has, however, been recently imported into this country from China, and is fast gaining celebrity, which proves to be a never-tail ing obviste to cutaneous afflictions gencrelly. The substance is a ‘white powder prepared from herbs only, of a most harmless nature, and is celled by the Chinese " Meen Fun" or Celestial Skin Powder. Those who have not yet experienced the comfort of its application should do so without delay, In addition to the above inestimable qualifies, it will be found to render the skin delicately white, smooth, at d soft.

THE NEW NOVEL OF "Seism," by the author of " Cecil," will cert,,inly add to the reputation of its anti nymous author, and in a manner rash r unexpected. For wit and sprightliness we were prepared by the re collection of "Cecil," but in the new work pathos is combined Y ith varying in te rest aid originality ot charac ter. In short, " Self" is valuable as a pastime—valuable as a lesson. A moral purpose which was deficient in " Cecii" has been worked taut in the new se ry, w hich contains the most life-like pictures of aristocratic life as connected with the political history of the day. It may be placed in the same rank with the r ovels olEtke worth, though the reader for mere amu-ement may pos sibly - prefer those brilliant touches and witty dialogues which remind him of Lady Morgan or D'lsraeli. In either case, a lasting reputation may be predicted f l. it, and like the novels of Edgeworth, Austen, and Ferrier, after fulfilling its first purpose of exciting and amusing the idlers ot the season, it will remain one of thcre standard works indispensable Oa country-house, as a truthful and valuable picture of national manners —since the moralist, the scholar, and the mere reader for diver sion will equally find their account in its vigorous pages.

ACCIDENTS IN THE INIETEOPOLIS.—Front statis tical information gathered by the indefatigabl e Se cretary to the Accident Relief Society, from the various hospitals and infirmaries, it appi ars that very nearly 50,000 of all descriptions occur annually, the great ma jority of which falls upon the working and industrious classes. The - observations made by Lord John Man ners, M.P., at the recent enniversary festival of the so ciety, have already been appreciated, and see eral new subscribers have come forward in aid of the institution, the funds of which are in a very depressed condition, owing to the very great number of claimants for relief from all parts of the metropolis and the suburbs.
