The highest•priced tailors alone he employ'd! Short time was hls finery worn and enjoyed i The cost was so high that it emptied his purse, And he soon was left shabby; oh, what can be wors e ? Now his cousin three suits to his one wore meanwhile, Made of far better cloth, and in far better style ; For all three he was charged what the first paid for one, And he ended well clad in the way he'd begun. He had managed his matters with prudence and skill, Dealt with Samuel, Brothers, Twenty-nine, Ludgate-hill, Men whose System and Capital Cheapness command, And whose Honour and Judgment resound through the land.

The undertaking combines the advantages of both the British and the foreign railwny system, free from their several defects. 1. The law authorising its construction will be passed by the States of Jersey, and confirmed by the Privy Council, without the interven tion of the British Parliament, thus avoiding the cost, risk, and delay of compliance with the standing orders of the two Houses, and of a prolonged Parliamentary inquiry and opposition. 2. The line will he vested in the Company in perpetuity, and not, as iu foreign lines, for a mere term of years. There will be no ri valry of competing companies, rendering it necessary to propose the lowest possible terms, as the promoters have received such assurances of support as warrant them in entertaining the most confident expec tations of obtaining a most favourable grant from the States in the cour'e of the present year. 3. The traffic, which has been recently taken, is unusually large, and there is every reason to believe that a return of 14 per cent. on the outlay may be calculated upon, as the works will be unusually light and inexpensive, and the landowners favourable. When it is considered that the port of St. Helier ranks the sixth in the United Kingdom, and that this undertaking will command the greater part of the traffic to this country, as well as to St. Malo and France, the time occupied on the passage to and front England being thus re duced from 17 to seven hours, it is clear that the passenger and light goods' traffic must be at once unusually large, and susceptible of very considerable increase. Arrangements will be made for ensuring a cheap and improved communication between Southampton, Wey mouth, Torquay, and Plymouth, within the time specified. . N., subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his shares, and four per cent. will be allowed on deposits and calls till the completion of the works. For further particulars thi public is referred to the prospectuses, which may be obtained of the Secretary, F. Struve, Esq., 1, Gray's Inn-square, and Messrs.

Hills, Esq. The Railway for which this Company has obtained a concession, will join the main Belgian line from Charleroi to Namur and Liege, at some point near or between the two former towns, and will run through the whole province of Luxembourg, in the :Direction of Dinant, Neufeiriteau, and Arlon; to Luxembourg, with a branch to Thionville and Metz, at which latter city it will join the Paris and Strasbourg Railway. ilic whole will be about 140 miles in length. It will thus unite all the Belgian railways with those of France; and if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, from Belgium to Lille, Valenciennes, Dunkirk; and Calais be examined, it will be seen that the Luxembourg Railway will thus form by far the shortest, and, consequently, the quickest and cheapest route from those countries. and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Rhenish Prussia, the Rhine (South), Baden, Wurtemburg, and the ether im portant districts of the North-East and East of France, and of the South of Germany, and also to the Eastern parts of Switzerland and Italy. At its northern extremity, this ralway must receive a large proportion of the immense goods' traffic proceeding from Holland, Belgium, and the other countries north, by the river Meuse and the Belgian railways and canals which centre in that distract from Antwerp, Ostend, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, and other Belgian provinces, and join those of France on one side, and on the other Mosel of . Germany and Holland ; thus forming continuous lines of communication with them all. Looking next to the south, a railway is to be made (as a branch to the Paris and Strasbourg Railway) from Metz to the extensive coal-field a> Sarrebruck, and another is projected to Manhehn, on the Rhine. At Thionville and Metz, the Luxembourg line will meet the large passenger and goods traffic on the Moselle, to and from the Rhine at Coblentz, which the establish ment of steamers on the Moselle, is daily and rapidly Increasing. Much of the great transit trade now going by the Rhine through Holland is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais, in consequence of the f re.tt difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending the Rhine between StraSbourgh and Bale. There is likewise a considerable local traffic in passengers and goods in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu- i merous fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine, mines of every description—iron, copper, lead, manganese, antimony, &c.; rock-salt, limestone, plaster, slate quarries (which supply the whole province, and export to a large extent to other countries)—and they contain numerous tanneries, salt-works, and till the smelting and other establishments to which mineral productions give' rise. There are 28 blast-tUrnaces in the province of Namur, and 41 in that of Luxembourg, which ail draw tin-ore from the Luxembourg mines. Besides the local consumption of iron, about 70,000 tons are annually exported. On the other hand, Luxembourg imports from Belgium large quantities of glass, manufactured goodF, colonial produce, spirits, zinc, marble, and building-stone, coal, &c. The importation of coal from the Belgian coal-field, at the north end of the line, and from Sarrebruek, at its southern extremity, would increase to a very large extent, both for fuel and for burning lime, smelting ore, and other manufacturing purposes, as soon as an i m proved means of conveyance is introduced, instead of the present slow and expensive one of carting, which keeps that article at a high price. One part of these districts contains fine limestone, while the other wants it ; and the slates would find a largely increased sale in Belgium, Holland, and France. The wealth, fertility, and population of the department of the Moselle, in which the southern terminus of this railway will be situated, are too well known to need comment. In 1828 a powerful Belgian and Dutch Company, called the ." Societe du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national objects—let, of uniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af fording a perfect and continuous means of communication through the whole length of the province of Luxembourg, by completing the line of navigation from the Meuse at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux embourg and Treves ; and 2.ily, of bringing into active production the great mineral wealth of this province, which had remained dor mant for want of proper means of conveyance. For these purposes the Luxembourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and almost unlimited powers. In accordance with this project, the Com pany commenced operations at the Liege end, and proceeded with great vigour and success, until all was stopped by the Belgian revolution of IS3O. National jealousy or other circumstances have since. prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river Ourthe, which flows into the Meuse, and was the commencement of the propoSed line m of navigation, had, however, been considerably im proved by the Copany, and an important local traffic, amounting to about 70,000 tons perm:num, is now established there, fromwhich the Luxembourg Company has derived a-handsome and increasing return for the money expended. This Company had also obtained the grant of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revolution of 1830; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and iron mines at Bruburg, of the the lead mines of Maizeret, and of the manga nese mines of Ilihain. Several other grants had been applied for, and were pending, but the matter has since remained in abeyance from the circumstances already men tioned. The grant of Burburg extends over seven parishes, and 19,308 statute acres; 24,000 tons of ironore had already been extracted previous to 1830, and about as much iron in 1839 and 1840, when the works were resumed. Jr 1842 these mines were let for twenty years to another company, who undertook to produce at least 1000 cubic yards of rough ore per annum, and who are actively working the mines. The Luxemeourg Company receives a royalty or farm-rent of the tenth of the produce. The grant of the 3laizeret lead mines extends over 630 acres. From the result of the borings and excavations made, these mines are con sidered very valuable, mid they have the advantage of being close to the Meuse river and to the high-road from Namur to Liege. The concession of Biliain extends over 1614 acres, and promises to be come one of great value; 600 tons of manganese had already been extracted when the works had to be suspended in 1830. The corn panY had also already expl red several valuable m i n i n g localities, pro clueing baryte,(from one of which mines 630 tons were extrac ted,` rock salt, antimony, lead, copper, iron, and other minerals, of which it had a plied for grants under the powers and intent of its c harter. A large number of quarries were likewise op ened by the Company, and continue to he worked. _lt possesses property in Brussels, including a large mansion and premises, where its offices are situated. In order to become possessed of the extensive powers gra nted to the Luxembourg Company, arid thus to obtain the entire command of the intercourse and mining property in that province arid the ad joining districts, this Company will have to purchase the shares and rights of the Company above-mentioned, including of course the canal, mince, and all its other property, interests and privilege's, fur the sum of 219,0001. As the railway will effect the purposes of con veyance and communication through Luxembourg, for which the canal was projected, it is riow intended (and it is in accordance with the charter) to complete the line of navigation only from the Meuse at Liege to La Roche ; of which the estimated cost is under 400,0001. ; by this means the railway and navigation cannot clash, as they will start trout and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved for future consideration whether the canal shall eventually be joined to the railway by a branch canal or railway from La Roche, or whether it shall he continued in any other direction. In the meantime the local traffic alone will be sufficient to produce a hand esome retrn on the capital to be invested, it being estimated upon a careful and moderate calculation to yield a net profit of about eight per cent. on the capital required. It may not be generally known that the Belgian canals give a net profit of from six to fourteen per cent., and the Charleroi and Brussels Canal, whirls was conceded to a company in 1826, is paying ten and a half per cent. on the capital. In addition to the great mineral traffic above described, the caeal will cross several extensive forests; whence large quantities of tim ber and wood will be sent for ship and house building, fuel, and otber purposes, for which it is constantly in great demand. The concession of the railway is already obtained from the Go vernment, for a lease of ninety years from the date of its completion. The other conditions are equally favourable. The tariff is about thirty per cent. higher for passengers than that of the Belgian railways, being about the same, both far passengers and go od s as that of France, while it is-much more advantageous in many other respects. The Government is to give, without charge, all the land required for the railway, wherever it crosses the crown lands, and it is to use its authority and influence to Induce parishes and individuals to do the same. No government or other tax or duty is ever to be Im posed upon the railway, nor is any rival line to be allowed to start from the Belgian railswys in the direction of this one through Luxembourg, for at least twelve years. The "concessionaires," or lessees of this railway, or their representatives are to have the pre ference of all branch lines which may hereafter be proposed in con nexion with it. The cost of construction is expec'ed to be considerably under the average of the Belgian lines, the best proof of whirls is to bp fennel in the circumstance that the Government engages to release the lessees, to reture them the caution money, and to pay them for their ex pensesGsflecr Belgian sline urveys, rails, engineers e be ue c l rte . ,6a, should ht t elo h , uel fleead(about ohe estimate u:cdel,eode, of i c s o s c o r w a g b e e cost madet Of f B b o y o 0 1.1 0 1 0 e per earth-works, for m m a l s i o e) n , ry fo a r a th r o tl l ;- a double line. The working of the railway is also likely to be very cheap, to which a coal-field at each end of it, and the consequently low price of coke, will much contribute. From all the ptreamstanoes already stated, and careful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very handsome return upon the capital required. Iu the allotment, due consideration will be shown proprietors of shares in the adjoining undertakings of the Sambre and Meuse, Lou vain and Jemappe, and Namur and Liege Railway Companies.

RAILWAY COM m vETE ES. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. 7.2,1317c0n7;.• AND PRESTON P. =wits. The Committee to whom this line was referred met to-day at eleven o'c!ock, in No. 2, Committee-room. Present s—Lord Camoys. in the chair ; the Marquis of Londonderry, the Duke of Leeds, Lord Hay, and the Earl of Uxbridge. Mr. Sergeant Bellasis appeared a Counsel for the promoters of the Bill, and Messrs. Wilkinson and and Lowndes on behalf of the opposition, Sir Richard Brooke and the Trent and Mere y Navigation Company. Mr. Sergeant BELLALIS opened the case and went into very mi nute detat.s to prove the great advantages which would be conferred on the di , trict by the formation of this line. As we have already reported the ease so fully before the House of Commons Com inltee, we need merely say that it was a repetition of the reasons which were then adduced to prove its utility to the public. Mr. Ripon, agent of the Bridgewater Navigation Company at Runcorn, was examined by Mr. Serge int Ba llads on the traffic. He deposeil,that 787,704 tons was the whole traffic at present on the line, consisting of coals, salt, and crates of earthenware. Mr. AfxiNsom cross-examined this witness at considerable length. THE LONDON AND SOUTH—WESTERN ME. Tr..OPOVES F-217.1rEDISION BILL. IMPORTANT 1)ECISION. The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. Mr MILL supported the Bill. Mr. Samuels, carrying on business near Vauxhall bridge, opposed the Bill, on account of the injury which would Le caused to his property by it. An arrangement, however, was entered into between the pet!_ tloner and promoters, by which the injury complained of might be obviated. The petition of Messrs. Pybus and Sheen was withdrawn, a pri vate arrangement having been effected between the parties. The preamble was then declared to have been proved, and the clauses having been agreed to, the Committee broke up. NWORCESTER, AND WOLVEra /CAMPTON RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, Lord Auckland In the chair, when the examination of witnesses on behalf of the opposition was resumed. Mr. George Bidder, civil engineer, was first called. He de posed to the general correctness of Mr. Brunei's evidence, given on Saturday. He was also examined on the toll clauses, which, at the ratts they proposed, would operate injuriously on the mineral traffic of North Staffordshire. He had also examined the plans and sections of Mr. Brunel, and had discovered an error in the level of the line proposed from Oxford to Wolverhampton. The error he referred to in the level, aas a deviation in the datum line of right feet, from the plan lodged in the Parliamentary.office. The witness was proceeding to explain the error, wt en Mr. TALBOT interfered. He objected to the going into the point mooted by the witness, and maintained that, even if such an error did exist, the Standing Orders Committee was the place where it should have been brought forward. Mr. Sergesnt WRANGBAM contended that the Committee ought to entertain the objecti,n, and cited the Act 8 Victoria sec. 11, show irg that no line was allowed to deviate more than five feet from the datum line in the deposited plans and sections. Even if the Committee passed the Bill, the Company could not construct the line with such an error. The Committee, after a short consultation, decided that the Standing Orders Committee was the proper tribunal for hearing such an objection, and refused to hear further evidence on the point. _ _ Mr. Nichol Bidder, civil engineer, was briefly examined, in cor. roboratioa of Mr. Stephenson's evidence, and Mr. Main, on the po pulation and traffic on the two lines, when Mr. Hope intimated that this clo'ed the case for the London and Birmingham Company. yy • Mr. HILL, Q.C., then rose to address the Committee against the Bill, on b half of Lord Ward. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded at seine length to describe the inconvenience which the line of the Great Western would impose on Lord Ward's property. the line in question cut his estate in two, and did great injury to the park, while• at the same time it gave the most imperfect accommodation to his mineral produce. The main line was generally either above or below the level of tl•e branch lines con netted with the pits and works, and between Dudley and Stour. bridge it , took a much inferior route for the accommo• dation of mineral traffic to the Tring line. He then addressed himself to the subject of tolls, contending that the Great Western had broken faith with the iron.masters and mineral ! owners of South Staffordshire, in altering their traffic clauses as they bad done. Having amplified on these points, the Learned Gentleman concluded by cal ing witnesses in support of his case. Mr. Smith, Lord Ward's mineral agent, already examined on behalf of the Tring line, was called to speak to the damage that would be done to Lord Ward's property, and as to the effect the difference of level between the main and branch lines, the tolls, transhipment, Sic., would have on the mineral traffic. The Committee then adjourned. THE r..SGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. Tl . e Committee re-assembled at eleven this morning, when Mr. Brunel, the engineer, was called, and stated he had ex. amined the plan of the proposed junction line, and wss satisfied of its practicability, and of the great service it would render to the interests of the mercantile community of Glasgow, With this evidence the case for the promoters was concluded. " • Mr. Hort; then addressed their Lordships, in opposition, on behalf of the trustees of the Clyde Navigation. He objected to the Bill on the ground that the contemplated railway would only accommodate one eighth part of the traffic of Glasgow, and seven-eighths would be entirely neglected. The object of the promoters was not so much to serve the interests of Glasgow as to afford facilities for the conveyance of traffic oming along the main line of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail way. The laying down of rails on the quays would cause great obstruction to the traffic of the harbour, and the mercantile bodies of Glasgow were entirely opposed to the project. Under these circumstances, he trusted the Committee would not allow the Bill to pass. Mr. Russell, superintendent of the harbour at Glasgow was then examined. He said he had consldcred the proposal of carrying the railway on a level with the quays, and thought that it would be elangerous to passengers coming from and going to the vessels in the harbour, and would also occasion obstruction to the traffic. Every person with whom he had conversed on the subject enter tained a similar opinion. Captain Johnston, sailing harbour-master, corroborated the evi fence of the previous witness. Mr. Viitter, merchant and shipping agent in Glasgow, was next !xamined. He said th .t the harbour was tot sufficient for tfe ac. :aariniodation of the trade. He had sometimes counted no less than :en vessels in it, six of which would be loading or unloading to gether. He thought that having railway carriages on the quays would occasion considerable danger to the passengers, and inconve- I . 1 Mence to the traffic. Ha was sure that to send his goods by the railway would cost him more money than at present. He did not consider the line would afford the least accommodation for the trade EILISH G13,3C111.T WESTERN' (DUBLIN AND GALWAY) !Liu INVILY. The Committee met at eleven o'clock, in the Lord Chancellor's Court, consisting of the following Members : Lords Bathurst ;Chairman), Lilford, Caithorpe, Wynford, and Forester. Mr. Alexander, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the promoters of the Bill. Mr. Rowe for Mr. P. James Pym, a banker in Dublin, and a petitioner against the Bill. The first question raised was, whether or not the Committee should first proceed to investigate the merits of the case, and hear the promoters, or go on into the case of the petitioner, Mr. Pym, and exanine into the report of a Select Committee of the House of Lords, which had been appoduted to inquire if the promoters of the Bill had complied with the standing orders, and if any fraudu lent practices has taken place. Mr. ALEXANDER contended that the promoters should be al. lowed to proceed with the case in the usual manner. Mr Rowe, on the other side, protested against this course, and called upon the Committee, in the first instance, to inquire into the allegation; contained In the report of the Select Committee, of which Lord Bcsborough was at the head, and to investigate the charges in the petition of Mr. Pym. The Committee retired to consider what course they should Fur sue. They returned into Court in a few minutes, when The Noble ChAiRMAN said they would first inquire into the re. port of the Seect Committee. Mr. llowe called upon the other side to produce and prove the contract cited. Mr. ALEXANDER declined doing so. The allegations of fraud had been made by the other side, and, by all the rules of evidence, they were bound to go into proof of them. Mr. Rowe—But we have not the contract deed. Mr. ALEXANDER—That is not my fault ; it is in the Parliamen tary- office. Mr. Rowe—l beg your pardon, it is not. Mr. ALEXANDER—There is a copy of it (handing it to counsel). Mr. Rows—You will now prove it. Mr. ALEXANDER — I submit we are not called upon to do so. The Committee decided that at present the production of the deed was sufficient. Mr. Bows, after some further discussion, opened the case for the petitioner. The history of the Bill was a very singular one. In the House of Commons the Bill had been rejected by the Standing Orders' Committee on a variety of allega tion,. In the ordinary course cf things, the Bill could not be proceeded with, but Mr. Fitzstephen French, a Member of the House of Commons, and one of the most active of the pro moters of the Bill, brought the matter before the House of Com mons, and moved that the matter might be referred to a Com mittee of the House for inquiry, and, contrary to all precedent, that motion was agreed to. The Bill having, by this means, passed through the Committee, was referred to their Lordships' House. The Bill came before the Standing Orders' Committee of the House of Lords on the 7th of July. On the Sth of the same month the petition of the Grand Canal Company against the Bill was about to be presented. The Grand Canal, as it is called, traverses Ireland from east to west, and is a great public national work. This important Company was opposed to the Bill. Their petition was drafted, and the last day for presentation, the Sth day of July, came, when suddenly a notice came that cer. tain Directors of that Company, who acted without the con currence of the great body of the shareholders, had entered into a compromise with the promoters of the Bill, and, for the sum of ten thousand pounds, had agreed to withdraw all oppo sition. Mr. Pynn being a large shareholder in the Grand Canal Company, and averse to the Bill, was taken by surprise, but still resolved upon giving it all the legitimate opposition in his power. Mr. Pynn tgren presented a petition to the Standing Orders' Com mittee, praying for time to present another which would detail at ength the grounds of his opposition. He said he was prepared to show that the standing orders had not been complied with, that forgery had taken place, and that other frauds had been committed. This petition was taken into consideration and, on the following Thursday, the Duke of Richmond moved the ap pointment of a Select Committee, of which Lord Bes'uorough was at the head, to inquire into the allegations of these petitions. Th report of this Committee contained several allegations of gross im propriety, but that to which he would immediately call their attention was, that a large number of the signatures to the contracting deed were fictitious and forged. The law required that three-fourths o Ithe capital should at least belong to parties signing the contract ing deed. The capital was said to be 1,080,000/. The deed of contract showed signatures to the amount of 819,5001., being, in fact, 9.5001. more than the law required. He would call abundant evidence to show that several of these signatures were fictitious, and that, in point of fact, nothing like three-fourths of the signatures were genuine. The Learned Counsel then read a body of evidence, from which it appeared that in many instances the names of persons as shareholders had been forged, whilst in others men of no substance had been represented as subscribers to a very large amount. In one case a parish pauper, Margaret Meredith, was rc pres, nted on the contract deed, as a subscriber to the amount of 5001., and as having laid 1701. into the bank. He likewise read from the evidence before Lord Besborough's Committee se veral false places of abode : one of these " men of straw" had the address " House of Commons" affixed to his name. It was further stated by the Learned Counsel, but denied on the other side, that on Chlistmas.day the promoters of this scheme kept an office open in London and were actually receiving shares and transacting business on that day. He quo! eel the evidence given before the •ame Committee to show that in numerous cases the names of shareholders had been forged to the deed for various sums, or fictitious places of abode given, or both He mentioned the names of a clergyman of the Church of England fur 1,5001.; Mr. Eastgate, 1,250/. ; Vincent Allpipe, 5001.; John Emanuel, 750/. ; and John H. Lowe, 1,`2501. On the whole, he summed up fictitious subsea; tions to the amount of 35,0001, which would invalidate the contract died. Some of the largest subscribers to the deed were mere hired officials The clerk to the secretary. by name Charles Freeman, a person not ,worm 2001. in tt e world, mias put down as a shareholder to the amount of 10,000/. He could prove cases of insolvencies, &c., to the amount of 120,0001., besides the cases of absolute fraud, but he trusted their Lordships would consider it unnecessary in him to go into the case at such length. The CLIAIRNIAN—I told the Learned Counsel he must take his own course. Mr. Rowe proceeded with his case, and went into other evi. dence, given before Lord Besborough's Committee, of a like nature. He concluded by calling on the Committee to quash the Bill, and not allow so dangerous a precedent to be established as that which would be infallibly set up by going Into the merits of the Bill Itself, after demonstrating the frau dulent manner in which the scheme its eif had been originated and supported. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to call witnesses In sup. port of the Bill, but it was found that they had riot been sworn. Their Lorships adjourned till to-morrow morning, at eleven. construct a line of railway between Olt metropolis and Cambridge. ft is admitted on all sides that a trunk line to the north is absb. lutely necessary. The main question is then resolved into the cne, which company is the most fitting to construct it ? And, first, Lord Winchilsea has transferred his favour from their opponent A:o the London and York, and indeed no one could help concurring in his evidence that the present enormous traffic of the districts would be all forced upon the route which that Com. pany proposed. The Midland Company appeared to fancy ihai their traffic would receive a check, and viewed with an eye of jealousy and dislike any competition in the field. Mr. Ste.. phenson, in fact, when under cress-examination admitted that his services had been i , ecured by the Midland Company against the London and York Line. Mr. WEBSTER dissented from this statement. Sergeant WIIANCIIAM continued, by observing that the con. nection between the Eastern and Mit!land Counties was notorious, The London and York Company would construct its line from Lincoln to York at 968,000/., while the Direct Northern, though travelling over a less distance by eight miles, could not effect it under 978,000/. Again, from London to Huntingdon the line of mil could be eon:pleb d by the London and York for '2.100,0001., including the cost of the London station, while the Direct Northern admitted that they could net construct the same distance under 2,250,000/. But, commencing at the metropolis, and criticising the schemes throughout —as to the Farringdon.street Extension, he urged in the first place that the Committee could not pass that Bill this session, inasmuch as its construction depended on the authority of two companies, three-fourths of the members of whom must sub scribe to its necessity. But while he contended thus,that the pia ject could not be carried out in its present stage, he felt no animosity to it, if its promoters chose to carry it into effect without interfering with the other station at King's-cross. If that project was considered valuable for the traffic from Cam bridge and Norfolk, his friends had a perfect right to his consent to its construction, but that construction must be independent of the station at King's-cross. With respect to the lateral opposition which, it was, esserted, the London and Yoik held out, he con , tended that it was Mr. Hudson and his adherents that were open to such an objection, rather than the promoters of the direct line, and he would instance the case of the Goo:e and Wakefield line, at this moment before the consideration of a Par liamentary Committee. The London and York line were not there its opponents, they did not accuse it, nor were themselves accused of competition, but the followers of Mr. Hudson were prosecuting the most virulent resistance to it. Their computation thus remain ing undisputed, showed that the entire income derivable from the traffic on the line would be 1,100,000/., deducting 75,000/. for the alleged overrating in the carriage items, and 60 per cent. for the ordinary contingent reductions, there would be a clear return of 600,000/., giving a dividend of 91 per cent. on the capital of 6,500,0001. Surely, with such a prospect of reimbursement, the Company had sterling reasons for raising the large capital they proposed, and in representing their treasury as a bona fide and inordinarily good means of investment. Then their opponents had attempted to impugn their traffic tables, well knowing that nothing but such a course would give them the least chance of making out any case whatever against the London and York. Mr. Parkes, a gentleman of at lea,t some cele. brity as a traffic taker, was put into the witticss box, and, at first, by his Vausibility, almost terri fied the London and York. lie adopted a system, however, which, on cross-examination, ',rased so novel, shallow, and erro neous, as to preclude it from the danger of ever becoming vulgar by general adoption. He had first halved all the traffic he met with at different points, and then doubled it, and yet affected that by these means be halved the traffic anticipated ►.y the London and York, who took the entire without increase or reduction f The gentleman I:ad for. gotten that once one was exactly the same as, and no mire than, half two.—(A laugh ) Nevertheless by some unintelligible contrivance a reduction of 75,000/. was made by Mr. Parkes in the computed traffic of the London and York. His Learned Friend, Mr. }hid, ard, had, however, thought it more cat cdient arid more wise to omit all mention of that reduction in the spe, ch with which he closed his case, even in neg. lect of the challenges of the Commit:ee. But what was the character of the estimate made by that eminent, honest, and un rivalled engineer, Mr. Cubitt, on behalf of tie London and York line ? Why, despite the array of talent and animosity epposed to them—desp to the log which the Board of Tr - Ide had, on insuffi. clew evidence, cast around their necks-- and despite the defiance he himself had at the outset thrown out—not one single solitary attempt had been made by any one party, surveyor, counsel, or engineer, to controvert or deny it. The grew; features in favour of the line he represented might be summed up in a few words :—rture was its entire independence, a vast and invaluable advattage, and by its unity of property and unity of management conduced to conve nience and economy. Another, and no slight feature in the scale of the London and York was, that it took the old route through every market town between the termin; : an advantage of this kind was pre-eminent, when the ancient market towns were regarded, and the important trade concentrated there. Again, it afilirded a connexion with every single town of consequence in the neighbourhood, affording advantages even to Wakefield as well as York. Cambridge only had been omitted, but the Company had the choice of taking in either that town or Lincoln ; and could any one doubt that in selecting the latter a right judg ment had been evinced?

The Committee on this Bill, consisting of Lord Skelmersdale (chairman), Lord Strangford, Lord Carrington, Earl Fitzharding, and the Earl of Munster, met this morning at eleven, when, Mr. Hill the counsel for the 11111 not being present, The CHAIRMAN ordered that the room be cleared, in order that the Committee might consult as to what course should next be taken. On our re-admission, Th e CHAIRMAN said that Committee had come to a resolution that the solicitor for the Bill should be desired to open the case, but that as Mr. Hill and Mr. Jame►, who appeared for the pro moters of the Bill, were now present, the business could proceed as side spoke even energetically of the importance of Lincoln as an agricultural district, and one, Mr. Healy, went so far as to say, that it was the finest arable or pasture land in the world. But if the people of Cambridge were so anxious for rail . way communication, toe London and York ,3ompany were most will ing, and had pledged themselves, to construct a line both with Lincoln inter or and inter tersninors. But before lie sat down, he could not but advert to the charges proposed upon the line, charges he believed unexampled for their lowness. First-class passengers were to be conveyed upon the line at the rate of '2d. per mile; second class, lid ; and third class, Id. per mile. Baled goods were to becarried at '2d. per ton per mile, and coals at %.1. per ton per mile. And as to parcels—a department of traffic to which he wished to ca 1 the most particular attention of the Committee, as a method both novel and satisfactory had been proposed— parcels under a stone weight would be carried for sixpence, if for a distance trot exceeding twenty-five miles, for all other distances over that there would be one uniform charge of one shilling, benefits to the neighbourhood which could scarcely be over-rated. Such were the advantages which this Company pos sessed over its rivals. He had now done his duty to his clients and the Committee, and he now closed the case with confidence and satisfaction, because he believed that no other course could be adopted by the Committee than to grant the preamble of the Bill which he represented, inas much as it was calculated above all others to extend social and moral improvement, to spread prosperity throughout the count! y, " to bless her fields with increase, and satisfy her poor with bread." The Learned Counsel sat down amidst a slight demonstration of applause, which was, however, immediately checked. Mr. Wells, on behalf of the Cambridge and Huntingdon line, having enquired if the Committee could name a day when that Bill could be proceeded with ? the Chairman and his colleagues withdrew, to consider when their decision on the lines already discussed would be given. After an absence of some few minutes, The CHAIRMAN said that as the subjects for investigation were " very lengthened, and would take some time fully to deliberate on, the Committee would adjourn till two o'clock on Wednesday, but without pledging themselves to give their decision then. The Committee then adjourned. usual. Mr. HILL objected to the appearance of counsel on the part of Mr. Dinsdale, a petitioner against the' line. Mr. Dinsdale, he said, had appeared before the Committee of the House of Commons, and before the Standing Orders' Committe . of the House of Lords, and in each case it had been decided that he had no locus slandi. The land through which the line passed was a "slob," or piece of un reclaimed land, which had been the joint property of the petitioner and a Mr. Robertson, up to the year 1841, when it had been divided between them. Some time after this, Mr. Dinsdale sold a part of his slob to Mr. Ilemings, who was one of the supporters of the Bill, but reserved to himself 100 acres. The land which he had reserved was one acre and a half from the proposed line. This Bill was for a double purpose : its nominal object was only to make a line; but the embankment which would be necessary for the line would keep the water from the land, and so help to re claim the 100 acres of slob which belonged to Mr. Dinsdale. It was quite clear from this, that the petitioner's land would not only not be crossed by the line, but would not even be injured by it, and therefore that he could not appear before the Committee. Mr. Burr. who appeared for Mr. Dinsdale, replied, on the part of that gentleman. There were three grounds on which Mr. Dinsdale claimed to appear before the Committee. The line would certainly not cross his property, but it would shut him . out from the sea. At present his land was bounded by the sea, but if this line were made, the nearest shore accessible to him would be at the distance of a mile and a half, It was not the line which would be that distance from him, but the sea. This would injure his prop rty by deptiving him of a ready I - IMPORTANTMETROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT.—WO means of shipping agricultural produce. But this was understand the Commissioners for the improvement of London not the strongest ground on which he claimed to be heard ; there have it in contemplation to open a most important avenue from were two others much stronger. At the time when the land was the \Vest-end of the town to the City, with the view of reliev divided between Mr. Dinsdale and Mr. Robertson, the B all y -Kell y ing the crowd of carriages now so inconveniently congregated Canal, which passed through it, was taken as the boundary. But the canal did not divide the land equally, and it was therefore at times in Holborn and the Strand. This new street is to agreed that arbitrators should be employed to decide which was continue the line opened from Coventry-street though Leices the greater of the two parts, and that they should be empowered ter-square to Long-acre, from the corner of Bow-street to take a portion of the larger from the bolder, and add it to the obliquely . across Drury-lane to Carey-street. on the south side of Lincoln's Inn-fiebis ; thence across Chancery. lane through smaller property, in order to equalise them. These arbitrators had not het come to any decision about it, and as Mr. Dins. the Bolls property, midway between Holten n and Fleet-street, to Farringd , m-strret, and passing under an arch . to the wide dale's property was, as he could prove, by far the smallest, some portion of the property of Mr. Robertson must be attached to it at part of the Old Bailey.
