RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (SATLRDAY.) GW)CP FF. The Committee met again this day at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 7. Members present—Lord Ashley, chairman, Mr. Curteis, Mr. B. Osborne, Mr. Collins, and Mr. Blackstone. THE EDINIAIRGH AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. Mr. William Anderson, examined by Mr. lion—Has been for some time guard of the mail coach from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. The time occupied in crossing the river from Granton to Burnt. island varies from forty-five minutes to an hour and twenty-five minutes. The usual time in fine weather was forty-five minutes. The passage was very rough in boisterous weather. The passen gers suffered from sea-sickness, and the water frequently washed over them. The passage was very dangerous. The Granton pier was not very safe. A gentleman fell off the pier into the water a short time ago, and would have been drowned but from the nature of his clothing, which kept him afloat. The mail was subject to great delay in crossing the ferry, and witness had often complained to the superintendent of the pier, and the answer was that it could not i e remedied. The difficulty and danger could be got rid of by going further up arid crossing at Queensferry, where it was only one mile across. Cross-examined by Mr. M'NEtt—The pier at Granton was not adequate to the traffic which would arise from the construction of a railway. It was greatly exposed to the sea. The gentleman who fell into the sea from the pier was heavily clothed, but that was the means of saving his life. Could not say be fell in from the many cloaks he had on tripping him up ; such might have been the case, but considered it owing to the boisterous weather and the exposure of the pier to the beating:of the sea. The cloaks certainly kept him aCoat. The witness was briefly reexamined by Mr. HoPE, but nothing of interest to the case at-issue was eicited. Mr. John Latray, another guard of une of the Edinburgh and Aberdeen mail coacher, was examined. His evidence was to the same effect. Mr. S. Barker was examined by Mr. Horx--He was a seafaring man, and commanded a steam-♦essel plying ,between Burntislatid. The passage was Roost dangerous, and would be more so when the increased traffic of the railway came to it. Vessels very often broke from their moorings in consequence of the great exposure to the sea The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Battasts, but his evidence ill chief was not upset. Mr John Ray, examined by Mr. CLARK— Was clerk to the Duty.house at Granton-pier. The spray often washed over the steamers plying at the pier. It was not a safe place for shipping or landing cattle ; passengers were exposed to great danger from the heavy swe 1 of the sea. The witness was eross.examined by Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS. Mr. A. G. Somerville, examined by Mr. Sergeant WRANGIII.II— clerk in the Post.ottice at Edinburgh. The mans from Quee. aferry were the most regular coming to E•linburgh. The Borntislaud mail., were frequently very much behind in their arriva,. Cross examined by Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS—The delays since the openi,:g of Granton-pier were 219. It was op n about nine months. The delays on the ferry and on tie read were included in :hat number. Could not say how many of those delays were caused oy the ferry; many might have taken place on the road. Re ex.,,minwi by Mr. Sergeant WRANGULII—fhe delays by the Quoensferry were 86 in the same period. The difference of time between the delays of the Queensterry and Burntisland was, Queens. ferry ,i 4 hours behind, anti Burntisland, 44. _ _ The delays on the Burntisland were put down to the ferry, and on the Queen's to the road. . . Mr. Se•geaot BELLASIS—Hare not the guards an interest in throwing the delays on the Burntisland ferry ? Witness could not answer that ; they were very well-conducted men. Mr. Andrew Dowie, examined by Mr. HOPE—Was factor to Admiral Sir Charles Adam. Was frequently delayed when cross ing from Burntisland to Granton-pier. The delays in bringing cattle were of very frequent occurrence, and occasioned much expense. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—Was very much annoyed by the delay just mentioned. _ _ _ Mr. T►Laor—Of course you would like this difficulty removed ? Witness—l should most undoubtedly. Mr. TALBOT—Then you are a friend to improvement? Witness —I am. Mr. TALBOT—Pray have ycu ever signalised yourself by a lucubration on the great inconvenience of this ferry ? Witness— I may have done so. Mr. TALBOT—Come now, have you not written to the Caledonian Mercury, and put your sign manual, as a friend to improvement ? Witness—Eh-0 yes, I did mention the inconvenience I was sub jected to on one occasion. Mr. TALBOT—And a very nice little essay it is.—(Laughter.) I mast read at elegant extract from the Mercury of June the sth instant ; here it is— " Oranton.pier everybody must allow is a great improvement, and no little praise is due to the spirited individuals who have car ried it through; but, from what has been stated, it is quite evident that as yet it requires something more to constitute it an entirely efficient low-water pier, and more particularly, as it is intended to make this the crossing station for the Northern Railway from Edinburgh to Perils. But let me add, that should the railway by Queensferry to Perth be carried through (of which there is every probability), the chance is, that few will sub mit to detentions of his nature at Granton, if they have the option to go tie route to toe north. In short had the Queensferry and Perth Rat way been in operation on Monday last, a pet son could have lett Edinuurgh and been in Perth during the time that I, as well as many others, were kept standing and starving 011 Granton pier, " I am, Sir, your moot obedient servant, " A FRIEND 10 IMPROVEMENT." I believe you are this friend to improvement ? Witness—Yes, that was my complaint. Mr. TALBOT—Have you any interest in the Q ,eensferry ? Wit. ness—Not just now. Mr. TALBOT—Nor any one with whom you are connected? Witness—Admiral Sir Charles Adam has an interest in it. Mr. TALBOT—Oh, indt.ed—that will do, Mr. Dewie. Admirai Sir Charles Adam, examined by Mr. Hope—He was of opinion that the projected brie of railway by the Queensferry would be of greater advantage to the country traversed than the line by Granton.pier and Burntisland. The Granton ferry was most unsafe and inconveniesit. the greater amount of population would be accommodated by the Queensterry. Sir John Halkett, examined by Mr. HOPE—Was of opinion that the Queensferry would be a preferable course for a line tel railway. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT-1-Us property lay on the line of railway projected from Queensferry, and the construction of that line would be of advantage to his property. Lord Daimeny, examined by Mr. HOPE—There was a general feeling of hostility in Dunfermline against the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. Had no interest in either line. Knew no thing personally of the comparative merits of proposed railways; his information was furnished by 00 constituents of Dunfermline." Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT -His constituents were con siderably interested in the Quernsterry line. Mr. Mason, examined by Mr. HOPE— Was Superintendent of Queen:feiry. The Granton.pier ferry was most dangerous in heavy weather. Was in favour of the Queensierry projected line. At this stage of the proceedings the Committee adjourned till Monday, at half.past twelve o'ciock. GROUP Mi. LIVERPOOL AND BURY LINE. The Committee met at the usual hour; Sir C. Lemon in the After the production of some merely formal evidence, the ease for the opposition was opened by Mr. C•LVERT, who said he appeared there to protect the inte rests of a project—the Liverpool, Preston. and Ormskirk Railway— which had the misfortune to be thrown out by the Standing Order, Committee. He now wished to ask the Committee what course they would take ? If they took into consideration only the hne from east to west, then he would withdraw from it, and not inter fere with his project; but if they took that from north to south, then it would interfere with his line, and he must appear through out the case, and cross-examine each witness. Mr. Lowsroxs, Q.C., said this was certainly a most extraordinary applica.ion. One entire Bill was presented for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and now they were asked, on behalf of a project not before the Committee, to open only a portion of their line, and divide their plan, a course to which he hoped the Com. mittee would not consent. The CHAIRMAN said they preferred that the case should be fully opened. Mr. LOWNDES then rose, and said he appeared for the Liver pool and Manchester Railway. In opening the project of this Com pany, he did not intend to institute any comparison between the Liverpool and Bury line and his scheme. What he wished to show was, that his line would afford ample facility of communi cation between the towns of Wigan, Bolton, Bury, and Liver. pool. He cid not think it would form any part of his business to show the defects of the Bury Railway, more espe. cially as there were many portions of the evidence which had been given in support of it which wes common to both schemes. But though he admitted that there was a considerable traffic between Bury, Bolton, and Wigan, he denied that the allegation of intermediate traffic had any foundation in fact. He admitted that there was a very large increase of traffic to Liverpool from those towns--that there was not at present sufficient accommodation, and that there was a neces , ity for greater, and, therefore, upon these three grounds he asked the Committee to sanction the sch, me which he would lay before them. 800,000/. was the sum which would be required for carrying this plan into operation. The Manchester and Liverpool Company expected no immediate return from this expenditure, only what would result from the increased facilities of communication between those impor tant trading towns. It had been for several years in the power of the Manchester and Bolton Railway Company to make a line between Bolton and Bury, but such was the smallness of ,ornmunication between these towns, that that power had never been carried into execution. The Company did not think the pro ject would compensate them. He thought the Manchester and Li. verpool Company should meet with favour in the eyes of the Com mittee. It was the first established in this country. The first sum expended by them was 800,0001. for the constructing the line be tween Manchester and Liverpool. From the improvements which had since taken place, that line could have been constructed for 400,0001., so that they bought their experience at a cost of 400,000/. The Board of Trade had in their report admitted that the Liverpool and Manchester Railway had, in conjunction with canals, done much for the town and trade of Liverpool, but he thought that was much too limited and qualified praise for a Com. pany that had done so much. He had said that the original cost was SOO.OOO/., but that sum had been, since 1931, doubled by the Company, in order to facilitate communication, and to afford grea•er convenience of trading and traveling to the public, for, in January, 1845, the sum expended by this Company had reached the turn of 1,700,0001. Cotton was the principal traffic, and might he promoted by the advocates of the Liverpool and Bury line, but it should he re-membered that cotton was not a species of com modity which required any great dispatch of communication ; and there were no just complaints that there did not at present exist i,hund Ince of communication between the towns of Manchester, Bolton, and Bury. What was sought for was com munication haw , :en these towns and Liverpool. Bolton had a line dite c t to :Manchester. there was inprogress a direct line hum Bury to Manchester; and Wigan had an indirect communi. cation with M anc h ester. The fiat which would he a wouldfrrd a submit continuity w as the Patricroft an d Cli fton b of communicatio n b etween Bury and Liverpool, by R ossen d a l e. The length of thi s branch wasthree miles and a half, and th e cos t of Its constructi on was estimated Boat dof Trade , was that this was proper line to be made. This at 95,000'. The report of the line would open a communication between Liverpool arid B Hastingdon, Acklingdon, Blackburn, and a very large field to the north of Bury, would, as Mr. Walker, ury, had observed in his y place Bury would not evidence, he then well served. ' have direct communication with was Bolton. At Parkside n po c o b l and Manchester, the North Union Railway joined the winding,ter, but it went and then turned off in the direction of M e a l. is by a circuitous course, and, in order to remedy t e ii which would proposed to add 26 chains of railroad at this junction,wi • they form an elbow towards Liverpool, enabling the trains the North Union to reach their destination without any stoppage e an a d t New ton or Parkside. The cost of this would be 3,8001 P ., g there was no opposition on the part of the landowners. The next line would commence at, or near, St. Helen's, and pass up to Ruf. ford. The obj-:ct of this line was to connect Southport with Manchester and the whole country south of the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad. The length of this branch was sixteen miles, four furlongs, and three chains, and the cost 131,3141. Thence there would be a branch line to Rainsforth, nine miles, six furlongs, and three chains; the cost, 163,279/The The cost of these two branc hes, therefore, would be 350,000/. Board of Trade had reported that the St. Helen's and Rufford branch was not necessary, as it only skirted the great coal.field ; but this he would show was not a just remark. He would next call the attention of tie Committee to the projected improvements at Liveroot There were at present four stations there, viz., Edge hili, Crown.,Treet. Lime-street, and Wapping. The first was for coal, the second for live stock, the third for passengers, the fourth chair. ~:.~. - - fbr goods. ~ The extent of the present Lime-itieer - station was one acre and three quaoers. They proposed to add half as much more. The whole area woud be then 12,000 yards, th cost 30,0001. To this plan he was not aware of any opno• tion To the station at Wapping, which was at presen fuur acres in extent, they proposed to add twenty thou nd yards, and there would be a communication with it to the Queen's and King's Docks. The cost would be 30,0001. There was no oppo. sition but that of a private individual, a Mr. Lloyd. He now tame to the North, or Victoria which began at Edge-hill;and comedown close to the North Docks. The tunnel would proceed until it reached the Leeds and Liverpool canal, and from thence to the station would be open ground. There would be a communication bet Ween the Victoria tunnel and the Wapping station, and the communication would embrace the whole line of quays, and run for a length of two miles and a half, forming one of the most important and largest schemes which the mind of man could suggest. The cost of this tunnel and the station would be 256,0001., a large sum; but it should be recollected that the capital of the Company which proposed it was 250,000/, and that it had never yet failed in any plan it had undertaken. A station would be made at the end of the tunnel which would be on a corn. rnensurate scale ; thence they proposed to take five acres of land, and to this there would be no opposition. The improvements at Liverpool had received the sanction of the Board of Trade, and every other plan he advocated had received the sanction of that Board, with the exception of the St. Helen's and Rufford line. The Liverpool and Ranisforth, with the other improvements at Liverpool, would cost 10,0001., chiefly at the Edgehill station. The Learned Counsel then went on to disprove that statement in the report of the Board of Trade, which set forth that the St. Helen's and Rufford line only skirted a coal-field and that the branch was not necessary, and concluded by saying that he would not doubt but the Committee having heard the evidence he would tender would de. tide upon adopting the lines of communication he proposed between those great northern districts and Liverpool, which had now be come the emporium of the trading world. Mr. Hatherton appeared as counsel on behalf of Sir G. Hesketh and other larded proprietors. _ _ Mr. E. Liddell, engineer and surveyor, confirmed in every respect the statement made by Mr. Lowndes as to the expense of forming the different branches, and added that the steepest gra dient on the St. Helen's and Rufford Railway was 1 in 114, and the least radius of a curve 25 chains, and these only for short distances. The steepest gradient on the Rainsforth and Liverpool line was 1 in 165, and the smallest radius of a curve 19i chains. The total cost of constructing both lines would be 350,0001., or thereabouts. This witness was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. Wiums and by Mr. CALTEBT, as to the expenses of constructing the various branches and the works in Liverpool. There was no coach on the line between Liverpool and Rainsforth. In his cross-examination by Mr. HLTHERTON, the witness ad mitted that the line would pass within a short distance of the man sion of Mr. Leland, three furlongs. Dlr. Thomas Lee examined the land along the St. Helen's and Rufford line. Calculated the value of the land, buildings, and severance at about 21.,000/. The land, buildings, and severance between Liverpool and Rainsforth was 57,'214/. Mr ••ineair, treasurer to the St. Helen's and Rufford Railway, thought the formation of that railway would be a great accommo dation. Mr. Edward Woods, resident engineer of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, gave evidence as to the traffic, &c. Some formal evidence was then put in, and the Committee ad. jounced at four o'clock to Monday next. GROUP L. HORSHAM BRANCH RAILWAY. The Committee met this morning at half-past twelve o'clock, Mr. E. B. Denison in the chair, and went through the remaining clauses of this Bill, and it was ordered to be reported to the House. PORTSMOUTH ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. Alter disposing of the Horsham Railway Bill, the Committeeon Group L resumed their inquiry on the direct railway to Ports. mouth, when Mr. AUSTIN called Mr. Simmons, who had been extensively engaged in getting information for railway traffic tables, and stated that he had made the traffic table for the South-Eastern Company. He had been engaged 14 days last autumn, .vith 30 persons under him. The time was a most unfavourable one, the weather being bad, and the season the worst in the year for traffic. By o'sservation he had found that there was a revenue of 179,3841. from passengers and parcels on the line-1)0,0001. for passengers, and about 70,000/. for parcels, allowing lid. a mile for the fare of each passenger, and Is. for each long parcel, and 3d. and 6d. for the short ones. This calculation was, he conceived, a very mode rate one. By the London and Gosl•ort line there were 60,000 pas sengers annually. On the South-Western line, they were carried at the rate or 2d per mile each ; but by the atmospheric line the charge world be nly I:,d. per mile. In consequence of this reduction lie expected an increase of 50 per cent., amounting to about 28,000!. a year. He expected also an increase of 10,000/. a year from additional passengers to the Isle of Wight. The tsnnage of goods now on the railway was about 6.500 annually, while he as. sumed only 2,800. For small parcels by the South-Western Railway he put down 3,000/. a year. Of:goods •taken by water conveyance between London and Portsmouth, Newport, Chichester, and Hemsworth he had taken at only one-third, which would yield a revenue of 12,789!. Bs. 10d. He had assumed 1 for cattle, and id. for sheep and lambs , which would give upwards of 8,0001. On inquiry for the vessels which went from Portsmouth direct, he had allowed I It?. for in. dividuals, and Id. only for troops, and this gave him 7,5001. lOs. Bd. The general result of the pleasure traffic to Epsom and Good wood races and on other occasions, gave about 8,2901. The fish for the whole year gave 14,000/., of which he took only 10,0001., making altogether the total given above. This, deducting 35 per cent. for working and expenses, would give a return of 8 p. r cent. on the capital of 450,0001. The gross amount of traffic to Southampton was 337,c001.—deducting from this 44,7001. for pas. s.'nger traffic to Gosport, 9,3001. for goods, there remained a net amount of 290,000/. proved traffic on the Southampton line, being I 10,0001. more than was assumed for the whole of the traffic to Portsmouth. To the cross-examination of Mr. COCKBURN, the witness stated that these tables had only lately been made, but in the tables sent into the Boar°, of Trade he had made the estimate for the whole returns, 388,000/. 10s. lid., and, deducting from this 155,21'2/. 4s. 4d , being 40 per cent. for working ex penses, there was a balance of 232,8181. for net revenue. He then had calculated the passengers at ltd. and lid. per head per mile, and he had taken a greater number of miles and mote coaches. Among the latter was the Brighton, the Worthing, and the Horsham coaches. In addition to this they had taken all the Guilford trade, which was considerable. His charge also now was only Id per mile for the passengers. Another reduction had been made on the parcels, from 2s. to ls. each. He had made this reduction because he believed that the South-Western Company had reduced their charge, but he had not made any detailed in. quiry or gone to the offices of the Company to ask for a table of charges To the cross-examination of Mr. GURNEY—In his present tables lie estimated the whole of the tonnage at 257,621 tuns in the year, hut in the tables sent into the Board of Trade he had estimated the weight at 521,476 tons. The traffic between Godalming as:d London was stated at 96,460 tons, but of this he took only one.third, carried at 2d. per ton per mile. He had estimated that there were 11 passengers per coach per journey, though he believed that 9 was the usual esti _ mate. But at . Corshant the average which had been taken was 9 at Sheetgate, near Petersfield, it was 61 ; at Haslemere it was not quite 11 ; at Godalming it was about 5 ; at Dorking it was a little more than 6 ; at Guilford it was about 5 ; and at Leather head the average was about 6 passengers per journey. The total of these results then gave an average of 6, though he had stated them at 11. His inquiries had been made of the coachmen and coach proprietors on the road, who had given him the number of London passengers by Portsmouth and Chichester coaches. The coach from Winchester and Petersfield would cross the line of railway at right angles, and he had taken his traffic at the Sheetbridge.gate to as. certain what passengers he would get for the railway. With re spect to the goods traffic, he had based his assumptions on the sup position that the mills and factories on the line would burn coal instead of wood and tuff, as they would then get coals much more cheaply. The same observation applied to lime, fish, and French eggs, and he had not includesi in his present estimate the traffic which he expected to draw from the South-Western line. He had got his data of the water conveyance from Nell Quay, at Chic Les. ter, and at the quay for the Portsmouth traffic. On his re-examination by Mr. AUSTIN, Mr. Simmons stated that the whole of the goods traffic on the South. Western line was 11,1731, and of this he took 3,0001. for the proper Portsmouth traffic, leaving 8,1731. for the proper Southampton traffic, which he considered sufficiently fair. In the returns sent in to the Board of Trade, he had included a branch to Reigate, and another to Guilford, which had been originally contemplated, but were now abandoned, and the traffic of which was not included in the sub. sequent tables now presented to the Committee. The Guilford passengers, he calculated, would return 52.7311., and 43,2381. for goods, the whole amount of the goods traffic being calculated at something over 124,0001. He had been led to suppose that the whole of the Guildford traffic would be drawn to the atmospheric live , in consequence of the feeling ex pressed by the principal of the Guildford traders in fa. your of the Lontion.oridge terminus, and their indisposition to use the South. Western line. The loss of the Reigate branch also had abstracted upwards of 11,0001. from his estimate. His original estimate of the South-Western traffic was above 84,0001., which had been reduced to 32,11001., making a reduction of 52,0001. The whole of the re,uctions would therefore amount to about 130,0001. When there was an apparent reduction on the passengers to 50,0110/., it arose from the reduced mileage, and passengers from their several stations, the difference being between 4,247,280 miles, and upwards of 9,000,000. This accounted for upwards of 39,0001., and a mistake had been made in the number of miles which they would have to travel. His reduced estimates had been made from the evidence given by the witnesses for the Guildford and Portsmouth Railway. He had also deducted the Worthing coach and all the coaches to Horsham. All these reductions would account for the discrepancy between the two tables. He attempted to t his tables back from the Board of Trade, but had been unsuccessful, and was obliged to suffer them to remain. He had, therefore, communicated the facts to his em ployers, and stated that the reduction of the two branches would reduce the traffic nearly one-half. He had made no other altera tions but those which were suggested by the evidence of the South Western Company. To the inquiry of the CsseIRMAN, the witness stated that both his sets of tables were formed on precisely the same principle. To Mr. AUSTIN, the witness replied that he had got his average of eleven passengers from Mr. Crofts, and from sonic persons at rommouth. To the inquiry of Lord CLive, Mr. Simmons replied that when he had given his estimate of the passengers from Horsham, he was not aware that the Brighton Company had projected a branch to that place. He discovered the discrepancies in February, after he had learned that the Guildford branch had been abandoned. Mr. Waghorn, ornamental tile and vase maker at Ewell, stated that he possessed a very fine vein of fire clay at Nonsuch Park. He consumed about 3,000 tons of coals, and disposed of from 500 to 1,000 tons of clay to all parts of the world. He supplied Ports mouth dockyard with fire bricks, and sent a great quantity to Hol. land, France , Germany, and even to Constantinople, and if this railway were opened he would save a great deal by avoiding the circuitous route of the Thames. He had also a trade towards Dorking and Leatherhead, which he very much desired to extend, and for this the railway gave him an opportunity. Mr. Simmon, an owner of real property at Leatherhead, stated, that the value and rents of property had been of late much reduced. They had no water conveyance, were badly off for land carriage, the nearest station being that at Kingston. He has a large corn mill on his hands, and he did not see that any means of conveyance , would be obtained unless this railway was obtained. Mr. Moor, a woolstapler at Epsom—Stated that he principal part of his business lay down the left of the proposed line as far as Chichester, and the South. Western line was perfectly useless; and the dealers in his neighbourhood would be ruined unless they had the means of conveyance which would enable them to com pete with the dealers in the west. He sent from 1,200 to 1,500 packs mm Fr t o o m L c o i n ,i d o o h n o , ,ter most of pai w d hic i h s. h s e d. go a t o fr w o t, from Petworth Is. 31.

RAILWAY RETURNS. the Court, here produced two bags, some trinkets, and other article's which he found at the prisoner's lodging, and in her box, which were identified by Mrs. .Farthing On the re.admission of strang.rs, PAILIVAT TRAFFIC.—The fry owiPg are the Thud Recdpts of hall ways tor the past wee'i—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year:— The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee, after ma•ure deli. beration on the subject before them, were anxious to express their opinion on three points with nspect to tolls, namely, as regarded coal, iron, charcoal, and limestone. The dues upOn coals for the present should not exceed 3s. 4d. per ton, and after the expiration of five years the tonnage should be reduced to id. Upon charcoal, limestone, and stone far building, it was proposed the charge should remain at Id. per ton per mile, and for the use of locomotive power the rates should be reduced to id and id. for use of carriage,. The upshot of that would be lid. for the whole charge for tonnage per mile. The present charge for iron should be reduced to lid. per ton. Haulage and wagg,ns to remain as at present, and at the expiration of five years the whole expense to be diminished to lid. per ten per mile ; the present tolls con tinuing at 2d. The Committee had been enabled to come to this decision from the discussion that had taken place cn the different points. To the tolls for goods, merchandise, and passengers, no op.,osition had been offered, and if the present rates at 2d. per mile, and Id. additional for locomotive power, were fair and moderate, the Committee would reserve any alteration. Mr. Pare having been called to give evidence as to the usual rate of tolls for merchandise and passengers, deposed that the charges in the tolls clause were perfectly fair, and were, in fact, lower than similar rates on other railways. The clause was then made part of the Bill. as her,. Miss Mary Bartram, assistant to Mrs. Ford, a dress maker in Blaekfriars-road, deposed that on the 12th of May last, the prisoner entered the service of Mrs. Ford, and remained there for a week, and then left. On the day after she had left witness missed a cloak out of a cupboard, and, having no Et aibt the prisoner had taken it, she inquired at the different pawnbrokers in the_ neighbourhood, and found it pledged for six shillings in the name of Mary Lewis. While in Mrs. Ford's ser vice, the prisoner frequently spoke of her father being a minister at Bath, and of a gentleman attempting to seduce her. She entered the service of Mrs. Ford in the name of Mary Spencely, and some days after she was gone, a man called at the house to inquire fur her in the name of Salisbury. Mr. Bartholomew, of 25, Castle-street, Falcon-square, said that about six weeks ago the prisoner came to his house to inquire for a lodging. She then represented that she had just come from Bath, where she had lived for four years and a half with a Mrs. Salisbury, in Trim bridge, and said her name was M iry Ann Spencer. She also said her father was a Wesleyan minister there, and this circumstance induced him (witness) and his wife to take a lively interest in her behalf. They had endea voured, as well as they were able, to get her a situation ; but this failing, he had advised her, as sheihad no friends in town, to return to her father and mother. Witness looked over the minutes of the Wesleyan conference to rind the name of her father, but it not appearing on the list he wrote to the Rev. Rd. Waddy, the superintendent of preachers in the Bath district, to make inquiries about her and her family. In reply, Mr. Waddy represented her parents to be very worthy persons, and stated that the prisoner, their daughter, had always been flighty, and had been a great Meal of trouble to them ; and if she could be got into some asylum, he thought it would be a great blessing. The prisoner declined saying anything to the charge. Mr. NORTON said the present was a strong instance of the beneficial effect resulting from the publication of the proceedings at this and other courts. The publicity given to the prisoner's representations would have the t:ffeet of, he hoped, finally stopping the career of one of the most artful and plausible persons he had met with during his magisterial career. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday next. Week Last week, O Mr. Wlwaste appeared to oppose on behalf of the Brecon and Abergavenny Canal. He contended that sufficient compensation had not been provides' for by the clause in the Bill, which gave power to the Railway Company to alter, stop up, and destroy,part of the works on the Newport Canal, in which the parties - fur whom he: appeared were materially interested. No equivalent had been offered for the great inconvenience that would be occasioned Non lure infedere venia. Law and justice were on his side, and he trusted the Committee would order such alterations to be made in the clause, as would satisfy the fair and reasonable demands of his clients. Evidence having been heard, the Committee suggested that words to the following effect should be introduced into the clause, as the subject was a matter of compensation for time, that the branch to Snatchwood should be constructed within nine months after the opening of the main line. The Committee were occupied during the remainder of the day in: passing clauses, which, with a few alterations, were allmade part of the Bill. The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock on Monday. GROUP V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MIDLAND JUN'CTIONZAND THE ALTER NATIVE LINE. Present—The O'Conor Don (Chairman), Mr. J. Davies, Mr. Hope Jonstone, B,r Denham Norreys, and Sir John Rae Reid. Mr. R. Stephenson was again put in the box this morning, and subjected to a tedious cross-examination relative to the engineering difficulties on the Sheffield and Chester field line. The witness wes of opin;on, that unless the gradients were reduced from 1 in 150 to 1 in 130, like to those on the Stockton and Darlington R ailway, so as to accommo. date heavy mineral traffic, lie should decidedly prefer the alterna tive line. THE FATAL DUEL AT GOSPORT. ADJOURNED INQUEST. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.— Colonel George Jones was called and sworn—l am Commandant of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines. There is an officer whose name is Hawkey belonging to the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines ; he holds the rank of First Lieutenant. There is an officer named Pym also belonging to the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines, Two ofkcers were reported absent from the morning parade on the morning of Wed nesday, May 2 let. Their names are Lieutenants Hawkey and Pym. They could not have been reported absent if they had leave. Mary Ann, the wife of James Stansmore, sworn—l reside at No. 8, King's-terraee, Southsea, and keep a lodging-house. A gentleman named Lieutenant Hawkey has lodged at my house. I last saw Lieutenant Hawkey en the Tuesday before I heard of the " affair " on the Wednesday. He came home from drill about four o'clock on the afternoon of that day. I let him in. He asked where Mrs. Hawkey was. I told him she was gone down to the Rooms (the King's Rooms), and that she lett word when he came home he was to come and meet h , r. The day prior he called me into the parlour, and said " Mrs. Stansmore, I want to beg a favour of you." I replied, " What is it, Sir?" He said " Mrs. Stansmore, do you know Captain Seton ?" This was between ten and eleven in the morning. I said " Yes, Sir, I ha►e seen hart once," when he said " I expect he will call here; should he call, you'll be kind enough to come in and out of this roam often, and don't leave him and Mrs. Hawkey alone long, for he has insulted her very much, and she is dread fully afeard of him." That was on the Monday morning. I have seen him but once at the house, when I was desired by Mrs. Mr. Bidder was called to show that the traffic estimates of the Sheffield and Chesterfield line had been much over- stated. He gave two reasons for this opinion. One was excess in charge, and the other was excess in quantity. Wi h respect to the traffic, he showed that the tonnage tor goods, and the charge per head for cattle, was higher than on other lines, and the same reasoning applied to the passenger traffic. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. E. JAMES intimated that some of the " swell mob" had been present at the previous sittings of the Committee, and that gentleman on the previous day had been a sufferer. Sir JOHN R►E Rein said that he knew for a fact that in another Committee, Mr. Munta had had his cheque and pocket-book stolen. —(Laughter.) Mr. Bidding's ex'.mination resumed—With regard to the second item, that of passenger traffic, the estimates of passengers for the year had been set down at 230,000, whereas, the whole population of the towns on the line was only 125,000. He considered that, instead of the receipts being taken at 53,0001., they ought to be 35,0001. . _ Formal evidence of the assents and dissents was then submitted :o the Comraittee. Mr. E JAMES then addres'ed the Cornini.tee on behalf of Mr. Thorold, a landowner, and certain road trustees. Hawkey to go to the door and deny ber (Mrs. Hawkey) to Mr. Seton. She saw him passing the window, and said" There goes that horrible old Seton." I was not in the habit of answering Mr. JAMES addressed the Committee, and contended that as there was no absolute necessity for tl.e particular line of railway under discussion, and as he had no authority to say that in the next session they would not be able to supply its place, he trusted that in the present session, at least, they should not pass the preamble. Mr. Basses replied, and after entering, at very considerable length, into all the details of the Bill, asserted that the preamble WAS fully proved, The Learned Counsel was proceeding with his speech when the Committee adjourned. the door. John Lewis Towne sworn—l am a merchant, and reside at Elm grove, Southsea. I know nothing relative to the death of deceased. I only heard a conversation on Tuesday, the 20th of May, between Lieutenant Hawkey and another gentleman. It was between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning. The two gentlemen were pre. ceding me coming down the road, and were holding an exciting conversation. Both were dressed al ke—l think in uniform. I do not know who the other was, he was rather taller than Lieute nant Hawkey, and broader across the shoulders. I considered he was an officer. He was what might be called a good-looking young man, and had a light complexion. I was about to pass them, when Lieutenant Hawkey drew his arm from that of his friend, and with much emphasis said , " I will shoot him as I would a partridge." I heard nothing more. By Mr. Field—l had known Lieutenant Hawkey for about twelve or eighteen months, I saw Lieutenant Hawkey's face on the occasion of his using the language I have alluded to. Thomas lUmmond Fiske sworn—l am a silversmith, residing in the High-street of Portsmouth. I know Lieutenant Hawkey, of the Marines. I saw him last on the 20th of May, when he came into my shop and asked for a pair of pistols ; this was be. tween the hours of eleven and two. He was alone. I showed bim some pistols, and he purchased a pair in a case, about nine inches long in the barrel. They are the usual description of pistols with a hair trigger. He did not take them away himself. I locked the case up, and gave him the key. A boy, who was in the shop took them away. Lieutenant Hawkey directed them to be taken to Mr. Sherwood's. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. The Committee sat this day at eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear evidence on the merits of the Cambridge and Lincoln line. Mr. Rendall, engineer, having been called, deposed that be sur. veyed the line, and that the country presented peculiar facilities for the formation of the line, which was 83 miles long; the ruling gradient along the whole line was 1 in 400 ; the earth work 4,407,517 cubic yards ; that on the London and York litre was 14,000,000, or an average of 78,000 yards per mile; the ruling gradient on the London and York line was lin 200. Was not aware that there would be any residential injury upon any part of the Cambridge and Lincoln line; and there were no petitions from landowners against it. Had allowed 91.000/. for stations, of which there were to be fourteen in all, seven of which were tlrst.class stations, seven roadside stations. Had not included the kup or the branches in the earthwork. The first-class stations were to be at St. Ives, for which he had allowed 10,0001.; at Ramsey, 5,0001.; Peterhorough.lo,ooo/.; Market Drayton, 8,0001. ; Bourne, 6,0001. ; Eckington, 10,000/. ; and Lincoln, 35.0004 ; for the fencing he had allowed 36,3061. ; earth work, 211,8651. ; culverts, bridges, Sc., 170,702/. ; perma nent ways, 468,9271 ; making a total, 978,3001. ; contingencies, at 10 per cent., 97,830/. ; land, 177,779/. ; making a gland total of 1,253,9101.; he had estimated each of the road.side stations at 1,000/., making for the whole of stations, 91,0001. The witness was then asked as to the population of the places along the line, but Mr. Sergeant WRANCIIAII objected to the evidence being given, and a long argument ensued, which was put an end to by The COMMITTEZ stating that their decision was, that they could not admit the evidence. The inquest was adjourned until two o'clock on Friday. FRIDAY.—The inquiry recommenced soon after two o'clock to-day. George Sherwood, examined—l am a gunmaker, and reside at 68, High-street, in the parish of Portsmouth. Lieutenant Hawkey came into my shop on Tuesday morning, the 20th of May last, at about eleven o'clock, and asked me if I had a shooting gallery. I said, "Yea." He asked me if he could have a few shots to prac tise, as he thought he was going to shoot a match, or something of that sort. tie asked the way to the shooting gallery. I showed him up stairs, and I came down again, as I could not well leave the shop myself, my men being absent. I then sent an old man who had been with me as a billiard marker for one of my men. He came over, and I told him there was a gentleman in the shooting gallery at the time Mr. Hawkey entered. My man, George Powell, I believe, was in the gallery when I heard the reports of shots. By Mr. Field—Mr. Hawkey did not personally pay me any money for shooting on that day. Mr. Hawkey, in my presence, gave directions for the pistols to be taken into the gallery. When he called on me the recond time he was in uniform ; when he came the first time he was in plain clothes, to the best of ray recollection. George Powell -- I am a gun.smith, and reside in St. Thomas's. street, Portsmouth, and work for Mr. G. Sherwood, who is also a gunsmith, and carries on business in High.street. I was in his employ on the 20th of May last. He has a shooting-gallery, in which I was on that day at about half-past seven o'clock in the morning, to commence my work. I found a gentleman in the billiard.room, who said he wanted to have a few shots. I did not know him until I was informed who he was. I went Into the shooting.gallery with him. He had three shots with the pistols belonging to the gallery. He shot at the target. He was not what I should call a good shot. He struck the target, which is three feet over. He was alone at that time I did not fire during the time he was there. He thin went away, and told me he would call again and finish the dozen shots, of which he asked me the price. He came again between that time and half - past one o'clock, about an hour and a quarter after his first visit. He was nct alone the second time. tie went into the gallery. I took a case of pistols from the front shop into the gallery. I saw no direction upon the case; no name met my observation. Four shots were fired from the case of pistols ; three by a person I understood to be Lieutenant Hawkey. Mr Hewitt told me it was Lieutenant Hawkey. Mr. Hawkey mea sured the paces in the gallery (twelve paces). He then went to the target. The last time that Mr. Hawkey shot he said," That's a d—d good pistol," and look up a small tool off the bench, and marked it will a small cross, between the stock and the break off; what we call the head of the lock. I received from Mr Hawkey 35.-25. 6d. for my master, and Bd. for myself. 6d. of the 2s. Bd. was paid for shooting, and 2s. for powder and balls. We charge Is. 6d. for a dozen shots. Three shots were left unpaid for. I did not see Lieutenant Hawkey after he left the gallery the second time. I cannot call to mind whether any one else shot in the gallery on that day. Mr. Hawkey walked up to the target with his friend, and made some observation, which I did not hear. He said something, pointing to the last perforation of the target, which I understood to be, " That would have done —.'' The remainder of the sentence I could nut catch. The pistols were then ordered to be cleaned by the person whom I understood to be Mr. Hawkey, and he said he would send his servant for them. I wiped them out, and took them Into the front shop. ♦ Juror—The mark upon the pistol was a small frees. The pistols were both fired off, and loaded from his (Lieutenant Haw key's) own flask. Mr. Hawkey did not ask me the distance parties stood from each other when opposed in a hostile manner. I could not, horn the partial observation I heard, infer that the parties were about to meet any one. AIAYNOOI I II BILL DIVISION. HOUSE OF LORDS. MAJORITY PRESENT, 155. ♦RCHBISHOP. EARLS. BAEONS.

MAYNOOTH QUESTION. VINDICATION OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. BA 014/. The following letter as been addressed by the Rev. Dr. Tighe Gregory to the Rev. Mr. Mayor, vicar of Rothmolyon, in conse quence of the attempted circulation of a petition to the House of Lords as from the clergy of Meath, in which it is assumed that the clergy take an oath that the Roman Catholic religion is "supersti tious and idolatrous :" Dacre Stourton Berners Faux AIINORITY PRESENT, 59. TO TOL REV.AL MAGEN, Mil Or ILTHMOLTON, Merl ZARLS. OP II ZLTK. Nelson Charlc'ville Manvers Orford Harewood Brownlow Reverend Sire-1 have this moment had the honour of receiving a printed circulia and petition, stated to be from you, as " Secre. tary to a meeting held at Rathrnolyon Glebe, on Thursday, May 29." 1 have some doubts as to the genuineness •f the documents, my knowledge of your truthfulness and caution suggesting the impos. sibility of your lending yourself to the deception of passing a small private dinner party as an influential public meeting, and your candour and theological learning forbidding the supposition of your advancing so erroneous an assertion as that the Established clergy ha►e " sworn " the Church of Rome (or any church) to be "super stitious and idolatrous." I am, therefore, rather disposed to consider your name as im properly tampered with, either by some ignorant and shortsighted coterie, who would unfairly shelter beneath its distinguished sanc tion, or by one or other of those unordained separatist ministers who have not had the opportunity of consulting the Protestant " form and manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of bishops, priests, and deacons," or the jurarnenta tusciptenda, • whirl candidate prinsquam admittatur ad gradum cupesseadum, who accustomed themselves to the use of coarse and harsh terms, falsely and maliciously attribute their use to a church of which they are as jealous and heatt.hating as that of Rome, but whose genuine spirit is manifested by incorporating in its beautiful and impressive service prayers "for all sorts and conditions of men," and for "the Catholic church," which embraces "all who profess and call themselves Christians." My view of the Maynooth question has been given in detail in my letters to Sir C. E. Smith and Mr. Lord, of April 30 and June 2, published in The Sun, London newspaper. I have the honour to be, Reverend Sir, your obedient humble servant, E. TIGHE GREGORY, D. D , L.L.D., Rector and Vicar of Kilmore, diocese of Meath. Paget Priory, Kilcock, June 4, 1845.

The Lord Chancellor did not appear in Court yester day, but sat in his private room to hear the continnfttion of arguments in the claim of the King of Hanover to the Crown jewels. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, June 7. BLAcKsToNE V. SIR P. LAURIE AND OTHERS. This was an application to set aside an attachment on the ground of irregularity. The circumstgnce arose out of Mr. Blackstone, M.P., having accepted e bills of exchange for 2001., 3001., and 5001., which were drawn by a person named Rider. These hills were to stand as security fur 5001. to be advanced to the lion. MenAer, and which sum was to be raised through the medium of the Union London Bail, of which the defendants were proprietors. The bills got into the hands of the bank, but .the plaintiff did not get the 5001., and when the bank was proceeding to bring actions on the bills the plaintiff filed a bill to restrain the actions on the ground that he had no consideration. The irregularity complained of had reference to the service of a subpoena on Mr. Boyd, who, it was supposed, was mar ager of the bank, but who at the period of the service of the subpoena at his former residence was in New South Wales. This was the irre gularity complain, d of, r.nd the Vice-Chancellor held that it was one. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 7. WAKLEY V. HEALEY AND ♦NOTHER. This was an action by Mr. Wakley, M.P., against the proprietors ache Medical Times, for a libel published in that paper, on the 25th of last January. The defendants allowed judgment to go by default, and the object of the present application, made upon affidavit, WAS to have the qu,stion of damages tried by one of the Judges of that Court, instead of the Under Sheriff of Mid,lesex, inas much as the plaintiff intended to put in other libels, which appeared in the paper against him, and also on the ground that serious questions of law would arise in respect to the whole case, and likewisi , that the libel fur which the present action was brought affected the plaintiff in his p-blic character as a Member of Parlia ment and coroner fur Middlesex. Mr. MARTIN and Mr. PARRY showed cause against the rule, but The Court made the rule absolute on all the grounds urged by the plaintiff. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 7. IN RE CHARLES RAVIN. This insolvent, who had formerly carried on business in South Audley.street, as a dealer in foreign fancy goods, came up for his final order. . The circumstances of his case are rather important. It appears that he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act about two years ago for debts amounting to nearly 4,0001., but in that schedule he had omitted the debts on accommodation bills, which had driven him to the prPsent application ; and he now sought protection against those debts. The insolvent now came up with an amended schedule, having inserted the whole of the debts in the schedule in the Insolvent Court. The insolvent claimed his protection under the new law as a non-trader, having given up business, and that none of the old debts were contracted within the time limited under the Act. . . The Learned C•MM►asIoNEI expressed his opinion that the in solvent must be considered as a trader. It was, however, best for the insolvent to undergo an examination, and, if it turned out he was a trader, of course the petition would be dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) WORSHIP-STREET. DISTRESSING CASE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Jere miah Beach, an old man, sixty-three years of age, who was formerly a respectable shopkeeper, but is now in a very reduced condition, was placed before Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, upon a charge of attempting to destroy himself by cutting his throat. The unhsppy man had his throat bandaged, having actually made an incision in it, and one of his hands was also wounded. From the evidence given it appeared that he had latterly endeavoured to obtain a livelihood for himself and his aged wife by dealing in fish, and Mr. Crawley, landlord of the Duke of Cambridge public-house, Hack ney-road, sometimes lent him small sums of money to enable him to go to markt t. On Saturday morn ing he came and said, " Mr. Crawley, I hope you will forgive me." The landlord told him he had nothing to forgive ; but the prisoner reminded him (Nlr. Crawley) that he had borrowed ss. of him lately, but said that illness and ill-fortune had prevented his repaying it. Mr. Crawley told him not to mind it. and spoke in a friennly way to him, but a moment afterwards saw him with a razor in his hand in the act of mitring his ~ hroat. With some difficult) the razor was wrested from him, but he grasped it so firmly, that his hand was much cut before he could be deprived of it, and he was bleeding from an incision which he had made upon the throat. Fortunately. however, he had not severed the windpipe, or wounded any of the prin he was placed in th e c h arge o f th e p o li c e and cipal blood vessels , and tho injury being surgically dressed, taken to the station-house. Dennis M'Carthy, police-constable 176 K, said the prisoner told him that distress had made him do it, fur he was five weeks in arrear with his rent, and owed Mr. Crawley 55., which he was unable to pay. At the station house the letters now produced were found in his posses sion:— " Dear Harriet —It is hard to part ; but I find it im possible to get a living, as everything turns against me ; I can no longer bear it. I hope the Almighty will pro tect you, and forgive me my past sins. Give my best wishes to Hannah and family. I hope you wid not grieve after me—l hope yutt will bo protected by the Almighty.—F a rewell for ever. " JEREMIAH BEACH." The following was addressed to " Mr. Lamb, Cock spur-street, Charing-cross," who was stated to be a silver smith, and his cousin " Dear Cousin —Farewell for ever ; before you receive this, I shall be no more. Illness and distress have driven me to it. Think of my poor wife is the last fa vour I have to tA. "JER. BEACH, 21, Clare-street, Hackney-road." The other was addressed to Miss Beach, 8, Sloane terrace, Chelsea, who was stated to be his niece. " Miss Beach—By the time you receive tkis the writer will be no more—illness and distress I can no longer endure—the only thing to think of now is my poor wife, whom I trust you and others will have a feel ing for under the circumstances. " JEREMIAH BEACH, 21, Clare-street." The prisoner, who looked exceedingly dejected, had nothing to add to the statements just made. His wife, a poor woman, as old apparently as himself, was present, and, being questioned by the magistrate, said they were indeed very badly off, and her husband had been ill and exceedingly low spirited, but she had no idea of his making away with himself. Mr. BROUGHTON said he would have the prisoner taken care of for a week at the Clerkenwell Prison, where he would be well treated ; and after some further inquiry he gave the poor woman some pecuniary assistance, of which she evidently stood much in need, and he desired the constable to retain the letters which bad been pro duced, and to see the parties to whom they were ad dressed, and to make what inquiries he could before the next examination, in order that it might le ascertained what could be done in such an unhappy case. LAMBETH. Miss Mary Ann Salisbury, alias Lucy Sims, the young woman who had been brought to this Court on a charge of attempting to commit suicide—who then describ.d herself as the daughter of a dissenting mini*ttr, and made a lengthened and romantic statement about being seduced and robbed—was put to the bar on various charges of felony. The prisoner appeared in a very ex cited state, and, clasping her hands, she exclaimed. " Is he here?—is he here? Oh, pray let me see him!" In gazing round the Court, however, her eye fell upon some persons whom she evidently did not expe-t to see; and she threw herself down on the seat, and, covering her face, wept for some minutes. Mrs. Farthing, a lady residing at No. 25, Ashley crescent, City-road, deposed that on the 16th of April last the prisoner entered her service as a servant of all work, but her manners were so high that she soon found she would not suit her, and she left her on the 26th of the same month. 'While she had been in her service she did not miss any articles of property, but on the day after she had left she did miss some things. Seeing her case in the paper on the day before, she felt it to be her duty to come forward and state all she knew about her. In reply to the questions of Mr. Norton, Mrs. Far thing said the prisoner entered her service in the name of Lucy Spencer, and said she had lived with a lady named Salisbury, in Trim brige Bath, for three years and seven months's and prisoner referred her to that lady for a character. She did write to Mrs. Salisbury on the 14th, and en the 16th she received a reply, givint the prisoner the most flattering character. Sho had I since, however, discovered that the letter was in the ! prisoner's own hand-writing, though it had come through the General Post, and came from Bath. English, one of the swnnionin-officers belonging to COMMUNICATION between LONDON AN!) DUBLIN IN TWELVE lIOURs. At the instance of sereral•3niluential parties connected with rail ways in this country and Ireland, a meeting was held on the 26th tilt., at the residence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, for the purpose of promoting a line of communication between London and Dublin via Porthdynllaen and Worcester, whereby the journey from capital to capital might Ise made within twelve hours. The meeting was attended by the Mayor of Worcester, the Town.elerk of Worcester, the Vice-President of the Chamber of Comn;terce, the Chairman and tho Directors of the Great Western Railway, the Chairman and Directors of the Oxford, Wor ester, and Wolverhampton Railway, the Chairman of the South Staffordshire iron district, Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the Companies ; Mr. Saunders, Secretary of the Great Western Railway ; Mr. Smith, Secretary of the Oxford and Worcester Company ; Mr. James Pim, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Kin. caide, members of the Dublin Committee. The importance of the project in a national point of view having been explained to the meeting, it was resolved that immediate steps should be taken in bringing the measure before the public, under the auspices of the several parties and interests represented at the meeting, and the principal landed proprietors connected with the counties through which the line of railway is intended to pass. The Lord Mayor, at the request of the meeting, subsequently waited on the Earl of Powis, to solicit his Lordship's patronage and support, his Lordship having hitherto cooperated with the citizens of Dublin in promoting, upon national grounds, the line now proposed. After the Lord Mayor had explained to his Lordship the object of his vi►it, and satisfied him that the project was about to be brought forward with the certainty of being carried into effect, his Lordship assured the Lord Mayor, that as he was still of opinion that the most direct and eligible line of communication between London and Dublin, was the one proposed, the eitisens of Dublin, and the other influential parties acting in concert with them, might depend upon the continuance of his cordial co-opera. tion and support. ALLEGED ILL-TREATLqr NT OF A LIVERPOOL CREW IN THE BONNY RIVER. An extraordinary case of this description, which ex cited great iaterest, was brought before Mr. Rushton, at the Police-court. James ILenry Black, the mate, and Thomas Lyon, the supercargo, of the ship Charlotte, ap peared to answer a charge of assaulrt preferred against them by Robert Brown, Isaac Ryan, John Neville, John Bowler, and Charles Fisher, five of the hands belonging to that vessel. Mr. Owen conducted the case for the complainants, and Mr. Radcliff, the defence. Robert Brown was the first witness called. He said, on the 10th of September, the Charlotte was lying in the Bonny River. The men were at hard work all day, and at night were enjoying themselves in the forecastle singing. The captain (Campbell), the mate (Black), and the boatswain came and said they wi-re kicking up A row, and called them all aft. When the hands went up it was said Johnson was drunk, and he was put in the chains and fastened to the wheel. The next morning till hands were called aft to witness the punishment of John son. After it was over the mate ma=le a speech, and said he would flog any man that Jared even to frown, and that his commanding voice should be heard in the ship. I said, "You flogged a man for being groggy but when he was off his duty, and did his hard day', work, if he chose to buy grog on his own account, it was his own look out, and he would: be ready for his work the next morning.'' rhe mate staked what I had got to say. I replied, that if he chose to fl ~g me he might. Ile said he would flog me on his own responsibility, and he then ordered me to be seized up. The boatswain obeyed the order, and gave me four dr;zen lashes. Lyon auksequently came on board and struck me a blow on the face, and said, ." You -- nigger, you have been trying to make a disturbance in the ship; I shall have you chained up and flogged." I entreated of him not to punish me any more, as I was very ill, my legs and feet being in a dreadful state from the small-pox. Lyon, however, had me put in irons and chained to the mizen roast, where I was kept for four or five hours. Isaac Ryan deposed as follows:—On the 29th of Au gust I was painting the ship. When I got on deck, at dinner-time, I saw Porter, one of the hands, chained to the wizen -mast; and, being surprised at his remaining there in so steady and submissive a manner, I asked, tt What's the matter, Bill?" He laughed, and said, "It was all right." Immediately upon this to ing said, I was turning round to go forward, and got a blow under the ear from the chief mate (Black). I asked him what was that for ? Ile said, " You villain, it would serve you right if you were alongside of him." I said, " If it ia your wish to see me there, you can put me there, but don't strike me ; keep your hands off, for it you don't, I shall be obliged to lift you into tke lee scuppers." I then went for ward to go to dinner, and had not got to the gangway, before I was struck by Black, and Lyon, and some Kroo boys. I made no resistance. The Kroo boys were called. I was put in irons, and chained to the wheel, hands and feet. Lyon then came up, and called me " a Newgate reared -- villain," and struck me se veral times whilst I was so chained. I was kept in chains for seventeen hours and three-quarters. I was then tied to the mizen-rigging, and received seventeen lashes. Then I was cut down and ordered to duty, which I obeyed. Lyon admitted before all the African captains that I was a manly seaman, and able to show his officers their duty. John Neville was next called. lie said :—On the sth of November, after we had done our work, we had some grog. I turned in. Fisher began either talking or sing ing. The mate and boatswain came to the forecastle with a cutlass and pistols, and fetched Fisher up. They then called out for Neville. I got out of bed and went up in my shirt. They said I was drunk. I had only had a glass or two of grog of my own. They then put me in irons, by Lyon's orders. My hands and feet were ironed, and I was chained to the wizen-mast in my shirt. A chain was fastened round my body, and they gagged me with an iron bolt. When I was fast the mate struck me repeatedly in the face. I was unable to eat hard food for three weeks. They kept me for ten hours in that state although it was raining very hard at intervals during the night. The next morning I got my clothes and they kept me chained unfit the 7th, when they gave me thirty lashes, by Lyon's orders, and cut me down, and sent me over - the ship's side to scrub the painting. John Bowker was the next witness. He said, on the 2d of November I fell off the barricade by accident. When the sailing master, Captain Campbell, came to pick me up, he dragged me aft, said I was drunk, put my hands and feet in irons, lashed me to the wheel, and left me in that situation until Lyon Caine on board at ten o'clock, P.m. Captain Campbell told him ho had a man in irons, to which Lyon replied that he was delighted to hear it, and told Campbell to make him well fast. I re mained in irons all night, and was wet through with the rain. On the 3d of November I was tied to the wizen rigging, and received ourteett lashes from the Kroemen I aats then let down, and Lyon told the captain to rake me for ward, anti scrub my back with a piece of sand. I begged of the captain to allow me to wash it with water, to which the captain consented, and my back was not scrubbed. Khales Fisher deposed as follows :—On the sth or November I had finished my work for the day, and had got a little grog. I was in the ferecaatle talking, when tha mate and boatswain came down, and the mate without saying a ward struck me with a cutlass. They then dragged me on (lack, and put me in irons, and kept me there till the 7th. On that day Lyon orderd me to be flagged, and I received tisen ea lashes, and wiis then sent to scrub the outside of tie ship. The laser was always soaked in pickle before use. Ali the witnesses were closely ero , s-examined by Mr. Radcliffe, who, in some material points, matie it appear that Black and Lyon were more " sinned against than sinning." The defence was that the crew had been guilty of gross insubordination, that they were con stantly in a state iS intoxication, that they had stolen the rum belonging ta the ship's cargo, and that they only received such a degree of punishment as their mis conduct merited, Mr. RUSEITON, alter hearing the whole of the case and def•,nce, which lasted altog4-ther about three hours, said there was manifestly a laxity of discipline on board the ship, which to some extant was attributable to the fact, that the sailing captain arid the super. cargo assumed the mastery at intervals, and that the men were acting under divided auth:)rity. He then ordered Black and Lyon to pay a fine of 51. each for the assault on Ryan, and Black to pay 50s. in addi tion for the assault on Neville. The other three eases brought against them by Brown, Bowker, and Fisher, he dismissed.—Liverpool paper. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday morning a sermon was preached at the parish church of St. Dunstan's in the;West, Fleet street, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester. In the course of a very impressive and eloquent appead it was stated that " the Committee being most unwilling to deprive the poor of any portion of the benefits which they have hitherto de rived from the King's College Hospital, have resolved that no efforts on their part shall be wanting to preclude the necessity of a measure so much to be deprecated. They have considered that the object to be kept in view is not merely to provide for the immediate deficiency, but to raise such a sum as, when vested in Government securities, may be drawn upon from time to time-, to meet the necessities of each year, until the annual in come of the Hospital shall have reached an amount equal to its expenditure. For this purpose the Committee conceive that n-t less than 15,Q01. will be necessary ; and ahen they recollect the ample funds origir.atly sub scribed for the establishment and fitting up of tha Hos pital, they cannot but entertain a sanguine hope that their present appeal will he liberally respot , ded to." The collie ion, at the crmclusion of Divine service, amounted to a very satisfactory sum. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNE 6.—The offices have again been cleared this week of everything on show, and im porters have now very little to bring forward ; the sales of the week reach 750 hdds. West India, 3,560 mats Mauritics, at very full prices. Three vessels from the West Indies are now discharging and their chrgoes are badly wanted.—Bristol Mercury. FURIOUS DRIVING.—On Tnursday night, at eleven o'clock, whilst the carriage of Lord Charles Beauclerk was passing through Halktn-street, it was met by a cab, the shaft of which entered the chest of one of Lord Charles's horses, and killed it on the spot. This accident was owing to the too common abuse of hard driving. The cab was proceeding at a furious pace, and came suddenly on Lord Charles's carriage on turning a corner. The animal was, we regret to learn, a very fine blood horse of great value. An accident, which had nearly proved of serious consequence to Mr. Rodwell, the composer, occurred on Thursday night. He was returning home, about twelve o'clock, to his house in Thurloe-place, Old Brom', on, when, in consequence of the darkness of the road, immediately beyond the Bell and Horns, the cab in which he was came is violent collision with a carriage which was standing at the side of the road, the coachman was thrown off', and at first believed his leg to have been broken Sir. Rodvrell was dashed forward against the glass front, and in an in. stant was covered with blood from severe cuss on the forehead and face ; had the glass penetrated but an inch higher up the cheek, he would have inevitably lost his right eye. We think it right to call attention to the shameful neglect which has been shown in this district to the lighting of the public roads. For upwards of two years every lamp has been removed, thus offeraig a temptation on dark nights to every species of vice and immorality, if not robbery —setting aside the almost en4ess dangerous collisions which are constantly taking place for want of light.
