MURDER OF A MAGISTRATE IN CAVAN. Atzrounts reached town this morning of the murder of Mr. G. P. Bell ;tooth, a magistrate, whilst returning from church yester. ' 4 7 (Sunda ) ) between Kilmore and Crossdoney, county of Cavan. The " Molly Maguire" system has recently extended into that County from Leitt3m, and it is generally believed that the assassi • nation of this gentleman was concocted by the members of that Most atrocious confederacy which has spread so much alarm in several counties of the ni.rth and north.west. The following ac. count of this horrible murder is given by a correspondent of the Dublin Evening : " CAYLN, JUNE 22.-3 have just rgurned from the village of Crossdoney, in the vicinity of which a sa t ,,, , t barbarous murder was committed this day. At a quarter-past two o'clock, George F. BC Booth, Esq., of Drumcarbin, was returning from Kilmore Church, in his gig, with two of his children, (110 five and the other six years old, his eldest son, a boy :If about eleven, rode behind him on a pony. When he arrived at The Rocks,' the residence of the Sub-Sheriff, William Bell, Esq., he was met by a man, who walked coolly and deliberately along the road, Crooking a long pipe. The villain walked up to Mr. Booth, re senting a horse pistol. It is thought Mr. Booth stooped his head, and that on his doing so the murderer fired The ball entered the upper part of the forehead, and lodged within the skull; he fell instantly from his gig—he was dead. The horse, frightened by the report of the shot, ran away, throwing the two children on the roan—one of them had his arm broken in the fall, or by the wheel of the gig passing over it. The body of the murdered gentleman Nes in the house of the Sub-Sheriff, where it will remain until an it. , quest is held upon it. Mrs. Bell, of The Rocks, whose carriage hact just broken down, passed the murderer en foot a few seconds before he fired. On hearing the report she turned round, and saw the body fall from the gig. " Wiat the motive is which instigated this assassination we cannot form the most distant idea, for a more kind, tender-hearted, Upright gentleman did not exist. " There is no trace of the murderer, who ceossed into the fields and escaped." Another letter states that the police had returned, after• an Unavailing search after the murderer. The poor cbilB of Mr. Booth was so severely injured that his life was considered in danger. 1117. PEAL ASSOCIATION.

S..OUT H-WESTERN itAILWAY. TO THE EDITIIR OF THE SUN. SIR,— in reference to a letter in our paper of this evening, signed ksiilway Traveller," complaining of the frequent want of ptinctual,'ty in the arrival of trains on the above railway, Iheg tc. star" that I left South,,mpton by the P. 31. train yesterday, whic4 did not arrive at Nine Elms until thirty five minutes afor the time it was due. This was partly to be attributed to the trains stopping at Weybridge and Waii(ls - neither of which places the 6 1..31, up-train is adver tised to stop at in the printed lists. I state this entirely on public grounds, as from the very high rate of charges on the South-Western, I thlnk at least the Directors ought to be more particular in the performance of their engagements. I am, Sir. your obedient servant, A FREQUENT TRAVELLER BY THE SOUTH-WESTERN. cum• Jane 24. ,~. TO THE EDITuII OF THE SUN. Sts,—l understand that the Bishop of London is reaping a rich arvest by leasing ground for building purposes at Paddington. T.be worst feature, however, is the uprooting of the working men's etnqages, which have been let at a low rent. A large number will sbe,nly be taken down. Now, where are the working people to live Would it not be well to build in that locality a number of small houses, in the form of squares, for the working men ? Why should large houses overthrow everything ? The workman is driven to the dismal cellar in consequence of the indifference of the tipper elmses. I hope the attention of the Bishop of London will be directe I to this important subject.—Yours, &c., B. BRITR I H ASSOCIATI 4, N FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. Cabitiones, JONiS 24.—The adjourned meeting of the General Committee to decide upon the next time and place of meeting, and the choice of officers, was held yesterday afternoon in the Council room at the Town Hall. Sir John Herschel! was in the chair, and the attendance was very numerous. Mr. Muaciusox, the general secretary, announced that at the last meeting invitations had been received to hold the meeting for 1845 at Bath and at Southampton. The former had been dropped, but there was a deputation from the latter town then in the room. An invitation had also been received from Cheltenham, where, in anticipation that the meeting would be held there, a provisional committee had been formed to make arrangements. Dr DAUSENEY, Professor of Chemistry at Oxford, stated that be was authorised to make a Communication from the University of Oxford, which he did under better circumstances than on the two last occasions. At Cork he stated that he did not know whether another reception would be cordial, but he now knew that it would ; and in this expression he could be supported by his eolleeoues. He hoped that in another year this would be brought before t heir notice in some more official form. Sir Jose BOILESU, Bart., stated that a deputy had been ap. pointed to attend this meeting, to convey a unanimous resolution from the 513y0r and Town Council of Norwich, who was unavoid. ably absent. The reception would, however, he was enabled to state, be in every wL•y gratifying and acco mmodatin g . The deputatian from Southampton and Cheltenham having ad dressed the meeting, Mr. Muammar proposed that the next meeting should be held at Southampton. Ha' advocated it chiefly from its proximity to !France. and the probability of the attendance of many of the philo .°Phers from that country, whilst it was not unlikely that be could Prevail upon the French Geological Society to visit the Association In a body. This having been agreed to, The Marquis of NoILTHAMPTON proposed. and the Dean of ELY seconded, that Mr. Murchison, F. R.S., should be the President fur the ensuing year. Mr. Atimettisox next read a list of the Vice-Presidents sug. tested for the Southampton meeting, which, on account of its being in so extensive an agricultural district, it had been found desirable to increase the number of. In pursuance of the recom mendation of the Council, the Vice-Presidents elected were the Itarmils of Winchester, the Earl of Yarborough, Lord Ashburton, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Staunton, Bart., M P., Sir Wil. barn Heathcote, Bart., M.P., the Speaker of the House of Can teens, the Dean of Westminster, Rev. Baden Powell, and Professor Owen. The local secretaries and treasurer having been appointed, it was, after some discussion, decided that the meeting should be held in the first week of September. The business at the various sections yesterday, with the excep tion of the mechanical section, was very full. The number of Papers read was filly.two, but at the mechanical section there was no sitting. In the evening Mr. Murchison delivered a discourse on the geology of Russia and the Ural mouptains. The meeting was afterwards addressed in a very eloquent manner by the Dean of Westminster and Professor Sedgwick, and the Senate House was "In more fully attended than on the previous evenings of the Week. TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Donizetti's opera Roberto Devereuz was revived on Tuesday even int, for the purpose of introducing Madame Rossi Caccia and M. Baroilhet to an English audience, in the parts of Queen Elizabeth arid Nottingham. Madame Rossi C accia was for a considerable tnne prima donna at the Opera Comique in Paris, from thence she le,ent to Lisbon, where she created quite a furore, and, judging eto.ti last night, we think there can be no doubt but that her sue- Celia in London will be quite as triumphant as it was at Lisbon. her voice is a pure soprana of considerable power, and of im mense compass. The upper notes of her voice are ° t the most delicious quality, and she has it completely Under command. Her execution is marvellous, and she, moreover, Possesses great power of expression. This was more particularly t oanifest in her first song, L'amer suo, in which the contrasts between the Fiona and the forte were fully brought out. She was encored in the duet with Moriani, Un lampo, and also in the duet ▪ ita non piombi it fulmine with Baroilhet. Her acting was full 44 energy and fire, and her personation of the Queen .as at Wice impassioned and majestic. M. Baroilhet has long been koown on the cont.nent as the first of French bari tone,. He is a most accomplished artist, and his voice, v i which he perfectly understands the management, possesses an ahnost Rubini like power of expression. The part of Nottingham, t wbich was originally written f or him, received fuel justice at his 44 Irds. Moriani played the part of Roberto with an intensity and Pathos ths't have never before' been equalled. He sang the music e xquisitely, The Roberto of Moriani is by far the best that has )et appeared upon the stage, and we say this with the full recollec tion of Rubini in the same character. The three were called for au Use conclusion' of the opera, and loudly applauded. The house was crowded.

The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. sourx WALES RAILWAY. Mr. VIVIAN moved, pursuant to notice, that this Bill be returned back to the Committee that sat upon the Bill, and that the Committee should have leave to sit and proceed with the measure on Monday text. Captain BERKELEY opposed the motion, believing that the interests of the public were not consulted in the formation of this Company, but only those of the Great Western Railway Company, who had bought up the line. He believed that the bridge .that was propsed to be built on the line would be a total annihilation of the river Severn. The present measure was a com pletely new Bill—it was not the measure that was first introduced into Parliament. The populous districts of Gloucester and Cheltenham were entirely thrown over board by the measure. Lord G. SOMERSET supported the moti:>n. He adix&ted that he was not himself an impartial person with respct to this measure, but while he did so, he must confess that he did not think there was much impar tiality in the speech of the Gallant Member opposite. All he seemed to think was that the interests of the city of Gloucester were paramount to every other. The interests of the city of Gloucester, it should be remembered, were not the representatives of the inte rests of the public at large. He believed that the pro posed Railway would be a great national benefit, and the Committee were of the same opinion, because they had unanimously voted against the preamble of the Bill. He hoped the individual interests of the city of Gloucester would not be allowed to supersede a great national undertaking.—(Hear.) As far as he was concerned, he should support the proposition, in order that the merits of the measure might be fully gone into and corisideresl• IH. BERKELEY trusted that the House would not Sal l etio.l) such a principle as "could be set up if the motion was agr. ea to. Mr. HOIXIBON HINDE thought the present was a question essentially standing orders, and not one be • i.we'•n the city of Gloucester, the putdic, and the Great West,.rn Railway Company, The question was, when parties brought one ru:asure before Par. liatnent, we e they to be allovC.:'d to proceed with are!ther of a totally different descr;c:j"n ? If the present rn,.ti was curri , d, tho Howe would in ;Erect ~ r dering the c,tivuittk-e to take a course which they , n•enned I.} They [la.! net, mimed that they woOtd ni , t proceed with the Biil, and the preseat motion was to compel thew to do so. lie should therefore oppose the motion. Capt. OSBORNE supported the motion. Mr. ESTC4 tURT also supported the motion. Mr. C. WOOD considered the question to be whether the Committee were justified in discontinuing to proceed with the Bill ; he thought they were not justified in so doing, because the course they ought to have• adopted was to have brought their proceedings to a close, and then have reported them to the House. All that the motion of the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Vivian) required of the House to do was to direct the Committee to renew its investigation and report the re sult. Mr. VILLIERS made a few remarks, which were perfectly inaudible in the gallery. Mr. W. COLLETT said he should support the mo tion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Gloucester, that the Bill be referred back to the Committee. Captain BERKELEY withdrew his opposition to the motion of the lion. Mentb 'r for Gloucester (Mr. Vivian), with the understanding that he (Captain Berkeley) would be under the protection of the Standing Orders Committee. After a few words in reply from Mr. VIVIAN, the modon was agreed to. RAILWAY BILLS. Mr. GREENE postponed his motion for the further colsi.leration of tzie report on Railway Bills. Lord G. SOMERSET said that he would, under those eircum,,tances, postpone the resolutions he had given notice of till such time as the report was brought, under consideration. COVENTRY, BE I )IVO RTH, AND NUNEATON RAILWAY. The report ,if the :shove Bill was brought up and re e.,ived, al o the reports of the Bristol and Gloucester railway ( No. 2), tne Norwich and Brandon Railway iieviation and Diss and Derehain Branches, the London And S..uth Western (No. 1) (Metropolitan Extension) Railway, the Great Western Railway (Ireland) (Dublin to Mullingar and Athlone), the Coekermouth and Work ington R4lway), and the Middlesborough and Redcar Railway. FALMOUTH HARBOUR IMPROVEMENT. This Bill was read a third time and passed. WEXFORD AND CARLOW RAILWAY. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY moved that the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junction Railway Bill be re committed. He said there was a very essential dilf,rence between this railway and the one which had previously engaged the attention of the Rouse (the South Wales). The grounds upon which the Committee rejected the preamble of this Bill was that, it did not provide for the improvement of the harbour of Wexford, and further, that if any tuture railway was to be constructed into the town of Wexford, it should provide for the improvement of the harbour. The promoters of the Bill had no idea of this difficulty being started, and therefore, under the circum stances in which they were placed, they had no power or opportunity of meeting it. He now, however, was in structed to say, that if the House agreed to the recommit tal of the Bill, steps would be taken to meet the objection. The Hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyne (Mr. Col quhoue) coul i say whether what he had stated in re lerence to the decision of the Committee was correct-- whether the preamble of the Bill had not been rejected on arculint .4 the dithcul , ies rospecting the harbour at W. xforki. The pr• motera of the Bill prayed for its com mittal in order to carry out. if possible, that portion of the juint s, - 11,1ne fur toe construction of the line from Carlow to Enniscorthy. Under these circumstances he thought the Rouse ought to agree to his motion, as in the event of the rt committal, they were prepared to grapple with the question of Wexford harbour, and to provide for its efficient construction. Mr. W. COLLETT was opposed to the recommittal of the Bill. _ _ _ Mr. COLQUHOUN informed the House that the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork had not stated cor rectly the grounds upon which the Committee had de cided the case. The construction of a harbour at Wexford was not the reason of the rejection, but the general insufficiency of the estimates—(Hear, hear)—the land and engineering expenses being under-rated. On these grounds the Committee had decided to reject the preamble of the Bill before the question of the harbour came before them. After they had decided to reject the Bill they agreed to recommend that in any ;uture Bill the construction of an efficient harbour at Wexford should be a prominent feature. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY said it appeared he had misconceived the grounds upon which the Committee had come to their decision; he would, therefore, withdraw the rno t ion . The motioo was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. coi3DEN then mo;iiii--" That, it having been repri sensed to this Him e by petitions from various public bitches, s well as from tnerchants, manufacturers, an , ' oda , : s, that serious imp. diments to the internal trathe of the country are likely to arise from flit ` breaks' that will occur in railway coin municatiams from the want of an uniform augt ; and these representations not having been fully inquired into by any of th , Committees of this ii. itse upon private Bills, find it nein,. desirable that the ~ü b je a should be ford, r imestigateif. tin humble address to hei ,littee ty, praying her Mjesty to be gracieusly ideased to issue a Coartnission to inquire, bi.ther in future pri. ate Acts or the construction of r ariw a y,i provision ought to be made for seeming uni form ga:uge, and whether it would he expedient and prac• ticabfe to take measures tobring the railways already eon tructed, or in progress of co fstruction in Great Britain, into uniformity of gauge ; and to inquire whether any other mode of obviating or mitigating the apprehended evil could be adopted ; and to report the same to this House." This was the first attempt to carry a narro gauge in the north of England—he would not say which was the best gauge—either broad or narrow would eio very well, but he thought the opinion of the best engi neers should be taken upon the point which was the best gauge be ore it came into general operation, so thi.it a uoiform practice might be adopted. The Committee could likewise report where the line of demarcation e• uld best Ira played, so that both gauges might not be mixed, which would subject the convet ante of goods and passengers to great delay, expense, danger, and incon venience. In the eastern c unties, in Kent, Surrey, and iussex, the narrow gauge prevailed, and were they to introduce the broad gauge into those districts ? Mr. MARK PHILLIPS seconded the motion. He had felt gr,•at difficulty in deciding on the question a hid) was yesterday before the House. The Committee on the l;ills which had been before the House yesterday had been called upon to decide the question of the gauges nicht, ntally. It was a most embarrassing subject for a Committee to have to decide upon, and the Committee uigh, not to be held to have decided in favour of the broad g mac against the narrow, when the question on) y came before them incidentally, and they had merely decided that one line of railway was better adapted to the requirements of a particular district than anrther. It would a matter for great regret if chat should be considered to have decided the question of gauges. It appeared to him that the motion of his Hon. Friend fir a Commission to examine the question was a tnost wise one. They wanted something to guide them in the consideration of this important question. IL did not think that a Committee of the House of Commons was a proper tribunal for its consideration— a Commission would be a much better one. Great inconvenience would arise from the admixture of gauges in the midland counties, and for that reason he had voted in favour of the narrow gauge line to Rugby. He considered the question a most embarrassing one to be left to the decision either of Committees or of the House, and it was highly desirable, therefore, that the proposed Commission of inquiry should be appointed. Sir G. CLERK would not object to the appointment of the proposed Commission, because the question had n.w assumed so much importance, that it was become itbselutety necessary that it should be submitted to the decision of some tribunal, the decision of which would carry weight with the country. There was one point, however, which he would wish to submit to the consideration o. the Hon. Gentleman opposite, who had brought forward the motion, and that was whether it weuili not he xpedient to withdraw that part of the re solution which directed the Commission to consider how far it may be practicable to reduce all the to one uniform gauge. That part of the resolution was calculated to produce unne e,ssary alarm. However desirable it might have been at first to have had ail the railways laid down upon oue uniform gauge, he believed that now it would be THE SUN, LONDON, THU*RSDA I Mr,;RNIVG, JUNE 26, 1 impracticable. It would be impossible to oblige a com pany who had laid down their lines, either upon the 7 foot or on the 4 foot 8f inch gauge to adopt now the other gauge or some intermediate gauge between the two. It was not necessary to prefer the adoption of one gauge more than the other, and, in fact, it was at present im possible to say that it would be expedient, considering the vast number of railways that were now in progress, to lay down any definite law on the subject. If the gauges on existing railways were to be changed, it would necessarily lead to an alteration in the structure of wag gons and carriages, and thus an increasing expense would be entailed on the various railway companies. He did not consider that the superiority of one gauge over another was after all a matter of very great importance, He should have no objection whatever to the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman, if it was considered how far it might be practicable to re-organise existing railways. Mr. S. WORTLEY quite agreed with his Hon. Friend and also with the Right Hon. Baronet, that this question had, in effect, been already settled. The enor mous expense that would be entailed on the country by changing existing gauges, and the general inconvenience that would result would induce him to leave the matter as it now stood. He trusted also that the who had stolen a dog worth 201., the charge was not made against him for stealing the animal, but for steal ing his collar, which was worth 7s. 6d., there being some difficulty in punishing a person who had stolen a dog of that value. That person was convicted, and was then undergoing transportation for the offence with which he was charged. Sarely this proved that the law was in an inefficient state, and that it required emenda tion. Then he saw no reason why the punishment for stealing a dog of the value of 2.0 L or 301. should not be equal to that to which a person who stole a " jack-ass" rendered himself liable--(Laughter)—an offence formerly punishable by death, but now by seven years' transpor tation. He hoped, therefore, that the House would allow the Bill to go into Committee. Mr. VIVIAN considered that the penalty of trans portation for seven years for the offence of stealing a dog was not of that exorbitant nature supposed. He should not have proposed such a punishment if the offence had been a mere casual one ; but it should be recollected that a great number of disreputable persons existed.by stealing dogs, and by levying a species of tax, in conse quence, on the community. The law at present in force was not sufficiently powerful to reach those persons. That sentence, however, would only be cerried out when the judge had the fact before him that the prisoner had been in the habit of stealing dogs, and he conceived it was necessary that such an offender ought to be removed out of the country for that period. Great difficulty was experienced in serving a "search warrant, as in London there were receptacles for dogs which had .been stolen ; and as they were adroitly moved from place to place, the police had great difficulty in ascertaining the place to serve it. He did not propose to remove that obstacle entirely. but to give additional facilities to the authorities. Mr. ESCOTT considered that the present law was sufficient for all the purpoSes required. Nine persons out of ten fell into the error -that there was no law for punishing persons convicted of stealing dogs, whereas they were liable to' a fine of 201., over and above the value of the animal, which, in his opinion, was a sufficient punishment. The Howe then went into Committee. The first clause was agreed to. Mr. HAWES objected to the second clause, and pro posed its omission. Mr. BOU VEIZIE seconded the amendment, and thought dogs ought not to be considered in the light of property. The law, as it originally stood, .trade this distinction, and be did not see any reason for changing the law in that respect. Mr. LIDDELL admitted that the original law made such a distinction, but he thought very unwisely so. He would tell the Committee why he thought the dis tinction foolish and unwise. It was untrue to suppose that dogs were kept merely for pleasure. Look, for in stance, in the southern parts of England, where dogs were kept for the purpose of protecting sheep. A more useful animal than the sheep-dog could hardly be found, and he could see no reason why the sheep-dog should not be protected from the robber in the same way as other valuable property. The amendment was not pressed, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 3 being put, Honourable Member for Stockport would not persist in the terms of the motion of which he had given notice, but would be satisfied with the question as it had been already decided. He trusted, however, that as the ap portunity had been afforded for further inquiry into the principle of the broad and narrow gauges some general plan for the public convenience should be definitely adopted before the construction of auy future railway was commenced. Mr. BARING quite agreed in what had fallen from the Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down, es pecially that which was contained in the latter part of his observations. He confessed that he was very un willing to interfere with the public convenience to the extent to which this alteration from 'ehe railway gauge would lead. He would admit that it was a great principle, and one that ought to be decided be fore any other railway was formed. Mr. RICARDO thought certainly, before any of the earthworks of new railways were begun, it was necessary to ascertain what the gauge should be. With great respect for the Hon. Gentleman and the Right llon. Baronet, he must say that the object to be attained was the permanent advantage of the country. Whatever might be the result, great inconvenience must be ex perienced wherever the two gauges should meet ; and it w,:s absolutely in ces,ary that some rule should be adopted for avoiding the great impediment which was daily telt from the uncertainty in which the question was now left. Lord G. SOMERSET was willing to concede the motion of the Hon. Member for Stockport, and trusted the Commission would arrive at such a conclusion as to make it reasonable for them to call upon all future rail ways to a s lopt one particular gauge. Mr. WAI-tip was glad Government had conceded the motion of his Hon. Friend, because he thought it was highly desirable that the question of gauge, setting aside the contest between the two rival companies, should be referred to an impartial tribunal, whose decision should guide them for the future. In his opinion, neither the broad nor the narrow gauge was a security against acci dents, nor did he think speed had anything to do with it. for trains bad travelled at the rate of 60 miles an hour without accident or inconvenience, while the majority of the accidents which had already taken place, had occur red to what were termed slow trains. _ _ An HON. ME3IBER rose and complained that a penalty of 201. was too heavy for the first offence of dog-steal ing, while that part of the clause which inflicted the punishment of transportation for seven years for the third offence was most monstrous. Mr. WATSON agreed with the Hon. Member. If a man stole all the dogs in the country, he would not deserve to be punished so severely. Mr. CaTRTEIS could not consent to hear dog; ran dowr in that way, because he thought many of them were useful and valuable animals. Mr. SHAW thought that, if any Gentleman would take the trouble of reading over the evidence taken be fore the Committee, which was commonly called " The Broad Gauge Committee," he would find great difficulty in arriving at any certain conclusion.—(Hear,ihear.) He believed that the " medium gauge" of five feet three inches, which was adopted in Ireland, would be the best as a uniform gauge.(Hear, hear.) He thought the inquiry was worthy the attention of the Govern ment.—(Hear.) He hoped they would undertake it, and carry it on laboriously.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. HAY IER could not anticipate any advantage from the inquiry, but, on the contrary, thought that it would lead to great inconvenience. Mr. WILLIAMS approved of the principle of the Bill, but did not think it either wise or just to inflict the punishment of transportation OR a person who had been convicted of clog stealing. Mr. P. BORTHWICIC said the dogs which the Bill was intended to protect were dogs of a most deteriorated species.—( Laughter.) Dogs that were prized most were generally the ugliest of their species, and it appeared to him the only use of them was to engender hydro phobia.—(Laughter.) Mr. HAWES moved that the clause be struck out altogether. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the adoption of the clause 33 Agaitht it _ . Mr. COBDEN said, in explanation, that the object of the inquiry was not to find a new gauge, but to establish some uniform principle. The motion was then agreed to. Lord NE vV RY presented a petition from the county of Down complaining of the expenses that were in currtd in builtithg union workhouses in Ireland, and praying that a n.medy might be applied to the evil. Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition, signed by the merchants and manufacturers of Manchester, praying the House to address the Crown for the purpose of having the treaty entered into by the Government of Buenos Ayres to give free access to the River Plata enforced. Majority The clauso was then agreed to. Mr. BOUVERIE objected to the third clause relative to the punishment for the concealment of dogs. Mr. WATSON said that the Bill would rank with those other Acts of Parliament which the Judges were every day in the habit of characterising as equally un wise and anomalous. -2; A petition was then presented against the abolition of tests in the Scotch universities. Mr. LIDDELL thought that if the law in one instance was proved to be defective, it was the duty of every Member in that House to endeavour to apply a remedy. Mr. WATSON said that it was the duty of Govern ment, if a remedy were wanted, to apply it ; but he was altogether opposed to this nibbling sort of legislation. Mr. C. BULLER thought that if the Hon. Member for Durham had merely brought in his Bill, making dog stealing punishable like sheep stealing, it would have had the effect of avoiding the necessity for all this discussion. He did not admire the anomalous powers given by the Bill to justices of the peace and other magistrates. The 3d and 4th clauses were ultimately agreed to. On clause 5 being proposed, Mr. HENLEY moved that certain words be omitted. After a few words from the SOLICITOR-GENE RAL, recommending the lion. Member for Durham to accede to the motion, the motion, as amended, was agreed to. Sir R. PEEL said that he presented a petition the other night in favour of the colleges about to be insti tuted in Ireland, which he stated to be from London. It was not from London, it came from Dublin. LUNATIC PAUPERS BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. The Report was brought up and received, and ordered to be printed. STATUTE-LABOUR (SCOTLAND) BILL. _ . . . The report of the Committee was brought up. Mr. SIiOLLETT moved that the Bill be recom mitted for the purpose of adding the following clause And whereas it is expedient to abolish the personal performance of statute service, and the levying of the conversion thereof in money, or any assessment in lieu of such conversion, as a personal or poll tax ; be it enacted, that rom and after this present year, 1845, it shall and may be lawful for all such trustees, at a general meeting assembled, if they shall think fit, to order and direct that in any county, or dis trict of a county, all such performance of statute service, and all such levying of conversion, or assessment in lieu thereof, shall cease and determine. And be it enacted, that it shall and may be lawful for all such trustees, at a general meeting assembled, if they shall think fit, to assess auy sum not exceeding the amount of the conver sion or other money which by the reason of this Act shall cease to be exigible, and to cause the same to be levied upon all lands, buildings, and other heritable subjects not hereinbefore exempted from assessment, or to be added to the sums otherwise as sessable by any local Aft ; and all such sums so assessed or added, shall be levied and applied in the same manner as the money might have been levied and applied in lieu of which the said sums are assessed ; Provided always, that all such sums shall be payable by the occupiers of the lands, buildings, or other heritable subjects so assessed, but such, occupiers shall be en titled to deduct out-half of such sums from the rent pay able to the owners or other parties having right to such rent. And be it enacted, that in the case of such assessment being laid upon lands, buildings, and heritable subjects, as aforesaid, the annual value thereof shall be ascertained by such trustees, in manner prescribed by the local Acts now in force, or in such and like manner as the annual value of lands, buildings, and heritable subjects, is authorised and directed to be ascertained in counties and burghs respectively, under and by virtue of an Act passed in the second and third year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled, ' An Act to improve Prisons and Prison Discipline in Scotland ;' and it shall be lawful for such trustees, if they shall think fit, to assume the amount ascertained as the annual value of such lands, buildings, and heritable subjects in counties and boroughs respectively, under the said recited Act, to be the amount on which the assessment hereby authcrised to be levied, may be levied for the purposes of this Act." — Clauses 6, 7, and 8 were then passed without oppo• sition. On clause 9 being proposed, Mr. ESCOTT said that he thought this clause had better be confined to the Bill of last year, so as to obtain a tabula rasa for future proceedings. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL trusted his lion. Friend would not persist in opposing this clause. Mr. ESCOTT withdrew his opposition. The Bill passed through Committee, the House re. sumed, and the report was then brought up. Mr. BAILLIE *aid that as rnsny <petittonT.hadTliedlfi presented from Scotland. some of - them by himself, from Inverness, sgsinst the Bill ; and as a considerabie oppo sition was exhibited towards the principle of the Bill, he trnste.i that, under these circumstances, the Hon. Nrember would not press his motion. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said that the opposition from Inverness was most absurd, and he could not think of withdrawing tho motion because of it. Mr. I'. M. STEWART thought the Bill would confer great benefits on Scotland generally, especially if in formation were procured from the different counties and islands threatening to oppose it. He hoped, therefore, the Member for Perth would withdraw his opposition, and at least allow the report of the Bill to be brought up. Mr. HOME DRUMMOND was understood to assent, and the report was accordingly brought up. The House then went into Committee on the Bill, and on the third clause being read, Mr. GIBSON CRAIG rose to address the House, but from the excessive noise in the House, and the low tone of the Hon. Member, his remarks were wholly inaudible in the gallery. Several other clauses, with some verbal amendments suggested by Mr. SMOLLETT and Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, jun., were agreed to. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, jun., moved an amend ment, that servants should be altogether exempted from the tax, and that the clause affecting them should be struck out. Mr. P. MAXWELL STEWART agreed with the lion. Member for St. Andrew's. He thought that the Bill did not go far enough. Ho could not understand why servants should be subjected to a contribution at all. He should, therefore, gladly support the amend ment for their exemption. Mr. LOCKHART said it was an important subject, which required great consideration. He had not yet made up his mind on the subject, and would recommend postponement. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, jun., then withdrew his amendment, as it appeared to him the House were not willing to entertain it. The other clauses were then agreed to, and the Bill passed through Committe. The House resumed, and the Report was brought up and agreed to. this question, but he thought he should not press the subject forward with such unseemly haste.—(Laughter.) Mr. BORTHWICK said that his Honourable Friend Mr. Mackinnon had not broken faith with the Honour able Member for Wolverhampton. It was only iron works which were to be exempted, int mining works. Mr. VILLIERS suggested that it would be better to postpone the Bill for a week, in order to prevent any one supposing that there had been any trick in getting the Bill through. Th e H onoura bl e G entleman (Mr.Mac kinnon) had received a deputation of manufacturers who believed that they would be affected by this Bill, and the Hon. Gentleman gave them the assurance that the Bill would not affect them. On this ground, then, it would be well for the Honourable Gentleman to postpone the Bill fur a week. Mr. MiZINNON said the amendments which had been made in the Bill were not his but those of the Com mittee. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the Bill ought to proceed. The Earl of LINCOLN did not think that any ground had been shown for the postponement of the Bill. Mr. P. HOWARD was understood to take the same view. Mr. RICARDO said he had no wish to interfere with the decision of the Committee. He had understood the Right Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir R. Peel) on a firmer occasion as recommending- Members to consult their con stituents. That course he (Mr. Ricardo) had taken and had received petitions from numerous respectable mann facturers, accompanied inurenvee by deputations, not only from the town he represented but other extensive commercial districts. In consultation with these parties he proposed to introduce and support the clause both in Committee upstairs and also in Committee of the whole House, but being informed that the Hon. Mem ber for Lymington had promised to obtain the insertion of the clause in either stage of the Bill, he contented himself with merely giving it his vote. Finding, how ever, now that the Hon. Member had deserted his charge he (Mr. Ricardo) would take it up anew, and press it with all the power he could command.—(Hear.) Mr. MACKINNON explained that his course on the present clause was solely in reference to the iron-works. Mr. HAWES should oppose the Bill unless he ob tained a specific assurance from the Hon. Member for Lymingtou that he had not neglected the wishes of the manufacturers after giving a pledge to support them. Mr. VILLIERS denied that the manufacturers were opposed to the Bill. 4. Mr. PROTHEROE suggested that the clauses urged by the Member for Stoke-upon-Trent should be with drawn until the Bill was reported, and at that stage re introduced. Mr. P. Bonntwrcx and Lord G. SOMERSET defended the conduct of the Member tOr Lymington. After some further discussion the Committee divided, when the numbers appeared— For the motion Against it Majority against the motion On the next clause being read, Mr. HAWES proposed an amendment that all en gines and works under the inspection of the Excise be exempted from its provisions. Mr. MACKINNON objected to the amendment. Ire did not see any just reason for the exemption. After a few further remarks by several Hon. Mem bers the gallery was cleared for a division. On our return we learned that the amendment was withdrawn without a division. Clauses up to 12 exclusive, were then agreed to with out discussion. On that clause, which enjoined a penalty of 51. on the manufacturer who neglected to consume his smoke, Mr. RICARDO objected to it, as entailing a gross in justice on the master, by the negligence of whose ser vant the infringement of the law had been committed. Mr. P. BORT tIWICK explained that the master could proceed against the servant, and the magistrate was empowered to inflict a penalty on the latter. After a few words from Mr. Mackinnon, the Solicitor- General, and Mr. Hawes, the clause was agreed to. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be brought up on Friday next. Lord Ji )lIN MANNERS postponed his motion for the second reading of the Pious and Charitable Purposes Bill till the 16th of July. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. ARLIAMENTARYBSTNESS. TUESDAY.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the proceedings of the action of Howard v. Gosset, and to report their observations and opinions thereon to the House, have proceeded to the consideration of the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the follow ing report : Your Committee proceed, in discharge of the duty imposed upon them, to express their opinion as to the course which, in the present state of the proceedings in the action of 'Toward v. Gosset, it is advisable for the House to adopt. They have given their anxious consideration to this question, and have found it one of great difficulty. On the one hand, they feel that it is of the utmost import ance that the House should maintain the ancient privi leges which are essential to the discharge of its consti tutional functions ; en the other hand, they are not in sensible to the public evil which might result from the adoption by the House of Commons of decisive measures for resisting the execution of a judgment of a court of law. They are not without apprehension that such mea sures may hereafter become inevitable: but they enter tain a strong conviction that it would be inexpedient for the House needlessly to precipitate such a crisis ; and they think that every other legitimate node of asserting and defending its privileges should be exhausted before it resorts to the exercise of that power which it possesses, of preventing, by its own authority, the further progress of an action in which judgment has been obtained. -It must-be borne in mind. that this -action-has been already suffered to proceed through all its ordinary stages. The House, in permitting its officer to plead, followed the precedents of Burdett v. Abbott, and of Stockdale v. Hansard. Your Committee entertain no doubt that in taking this course the House had no in tention of submitting its privileges to the judgment of the Court ; but that its single object was to bring under the knowledge of the Court, in the most formal manner, that the acts complained of by the plaintiff were done by an officer of the House in obedience to the authority of the House. In this view of the case, the pleas, in the opinion of your Committee, ought to have been admitted as a sufficient answer to the action. A different, and, as your Committee are persuaded, an erroneous construction, appears to have been placed upon the pleas ; and the question therefore now arises, what, in the present state of the proceedings, is the course most consistent with the dignity of the House and the maintenance of its privileges. Your Committee cannot advise an acquiescence in the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. Simply to sub mit to the judgment, and adopt no other proceeding, might be construed into an admission of the doctrines maintained by at least two of the judges, not upon any purely formal or technical points, but upon alleged prin ciples of law, deeply affecting the privileges of the House. These doctrines, if allowed to remain unques tioned, might, because they were unquestioned, be here after appealed to as decisive authority, and considered as the ruling principles which determined the judgment of the Court in this case. Submission would thus almost inevitably lead to further encroachments on the privi leges of the House. In considering the expediency of any other course, your Committee have adverted to the fact, that the de cisions adverse to the privileges of the House of Com mons which have been given of late years by judicial authorities, have been given by one Court only, namely, the Court of Queen's Bench, and that the opinion of the Judges of the other Courts has never been pro nounced upon the subject. Your Committee, moreover, attach importance to the fact that the Court of Queen's Bench itself, in this ac tion, was not unanimous in its judgment; and that the Judges, who constituted the majority of the Court, as signed reasons for their judgment inconsistent with, and even contradictory to, each other. Under these circumstances your Committee have come to the conclusionthat it would be advisable in the present case to bring a writ of error on the judgment. They are aware of the argument which may be urged against this further step, as an apparent recognition of the authority of the court of law to judge of the privileges of the House, but they do not admit the force of this objection. They recommend a writ of error under the impression that, after the course already taken by the House in the pre sent action, a writ of error, on the ground that the a REPORTED DEATH OF M. SCMS, ALp._it w as Court of Queen's Bench ought to have admitted, upon complained reported in the House of Commons yesterday' iitternoon that Mr the celebrated ship-owner, and, SA T• murrer, the sufficiency of a plea that the acts of by the plaintiff were done by an officer of the House, s oma, We tioN that thi:nrrepoDarrtimZullth'prdoieve in obedience to its authority, •ould not compromir the suddenly this roornin&.. rights of the 'louse, or impair the power with which it incorrect: it r Oß . l: s l , y - T : S AND CESSPOOLS.—Mr. Green, is invested by the Constitution of asserting its privileges.

SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Smoke Prohibition Bill on the motion of the Earl of LINCOLN. On the Ist clause being put, Mr. HAWES said that he should certainly object to this clause, for he did not see that there was any suffi cient security for carrying out the provisions of the Bill. The Earl of LINCOLN trusted that the Hon. Gen tleman would not persevere in his opposition to the clause, for he thought that there was a sufficient security for the Bill being carried out. The machinery of Commis sioners was totally unnecessary for carrying out its pro visions, for the Bill itself would be its own security. The clause then passed. On clause 2 being proposed, Mr. P. BORTHWICK opposed the clause, on the ground tbat there was not sufficient provision for en forcing the regulations of the Bill. The Earl of LINCOLN said that hie attention had not been brought to this point until this morning, and he thought that some clause might be introduced for giving the town council of boroughs power to assess the rates. Justices for the county had certainly a right to interfere with the rates, but town justices had not. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL thought that the words of the Act were puite sufficient for the purpose, espe cially as the term smoke appeared to be well defined. The Earl of LINCOLN said that the term smoke he apprehended to mean the dark vapour which issued from the chimney of the manufactory, and he thought that ine one 3 .oqualtitotrivith t 8 lab - eTurilOf the Select toin mittee upstairs would have no difilculty in coining to a decision. After a conversation, in which Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. I3orthwick took part, Mr. WILLIAMS said that a friend of his, who was most certainly the largest manufacturer in England, had erected an apparatus for 38s. which had completely ob viated all the nuisance. Mr. RICARDO said, that so far as his experience went, the attempt to obviate the evil had been perfectly useless, and he thought that before the House called upon any manufacturer to abate the nuisance, they ought to provide a means by which the evil might be reduced. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the manufacturer of whom he had spoken had saved several hundred pounds a year at the cost of 385., and had completely abated the evil from every portion of his manufactory. Mr. MACKINNON thought that it would be quite useless to lay down any plan for reducing the evil. The circumstances of every manufactory were different from every other. All they wanted was to kn ow w h a t it was that they had to guard . against. The Earl of LINCOLN said that he should wish to introduce by amendment that the work smoke should, in every instance, be taken to mean dash smoke, and not gas or vapour. The clause then passed. A long discussion then aro se on the provisions of the second clause, in which Lord Newry, Mr. llawes, Mr. P. Borthwick, Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Ricardo joined. Mr. PROTHEROE contended that the lion. Member for Wolverhampton was wrong in supposing that smoke was not injurious. He (Mr. Pr ot h eroe) contended that it was not only injurious, but extremely inconvenient to the inhabitants of those houses in whose vicinity it was emitted. Mr. J. 11. VIVIAN proposed, as an amendment, that the resolution contained m the i n t erpretation c l ause b e confined to steam - engines connected with mineral mines. After a few observations from Mr. Vivian and Mr. Buller, the House divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 2 Against it 44 Majority against it —42 The Timis? then divided on the amendment proposed by Mr. Villiers, when there app eare d_ For the amendment Against it 4O Majority --33 After a few words from Mr. M'KINNoN and Mr. VILLIERS, Sir J. G:ZAIIAM said, that he had very great doubts as to the policy of those amendments. The subject had been referred, by distinct agreement, to a Select Committee, and he, therefore, would give his decided opposition to anything that militated against the opinion which they had come to, in reference to stationary engines. Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the lion. Member for Stoke-upon-Trent should not, after the evidence which had been given, press the adoption of his views. After u few words from Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. APKINNON, Mr. BROTHERTON said that a petition had been presented by his own constituents against the amend ments of the Hon. Member fur Wolverhampton. He thought by adopting the measure it would be in no . way_ injurious to the manufactories of the country. Mr. RICARDO said that he gave the geMIP.III4 I I great credit for his perseverance e" _. 0 a .irward DOG'r STEALING BILL. On the motion that the House go into Committee on this Bill, Mr. DAVID DUNDAS objected to that portion of it which made the offence of stealing such an article as a dog punishable by transportation for seven years. lie was of opinion that the present law was sufficiently strong for the punishment of such offenders, if magis trates would but carry it out in full force. By the 31st section of the Act of George 11., magistrates were em powered to inflict a fine of 201. on a person convicted of stealing a dog. By the G3d section of the same Act magistrates might grant a warrant giving a person authority to search for a dog which had been stolen. Mr. HENLEY had been informed that there was great difficulty in obtaining a search warrant, and when obtained, of carrying it out. Sir JAMES GRAHAM wished to say a few words before the House went into Committee on the Bill. The clause making the offence of stealing a dog punish able by seven years' transportation would require their serious consideration. The Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. D. Dundas) must admit that in the law, as now administered; there were great anomalies.—(Laughter.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUAr. STR,—Would you allow me, through your journal, to call the attention of the chairmen of the various com mittees on railways to strongly enforce, in their reports to the House, of such lines as they may think worthy of adoption, the positive necessity of compelling all future lines to have safety flange-rails, on the old-fashioned tram-rail principle, thereby avoiding all possibility of accident by the trains getting off the line, and moreover preventing most serious consequence., should two trains meet or run into each other. The present rate of velocity, though it may be 50 miles an hour, is but slow work to what it will be, some five years hence, and as such something ought to be done to compel the companies to make the lines safe, without the least possibility of accident—thereby ensuring confi dence in the public mind and a corresponding increasing traffic for the benefit of the shareholders. It is no joke to travel in fear, and be only at ease when you arrive safe at your journey's end. A day will come when some most disastrous accident will happen to the highly born, and • then, no doubt, amendment will folliow. Few—very few—are aware upon what a narrow edge or brink they are travelling, and that a mere Ranch, not more than an inch and a quarter deep, from the sole of the wheel, is all the security they have of the train keeping within the rails. Moreover, the wheel, in its rapid revolution, is exerting itself with• all its might at every oblique movemeitt of the carriage, to get this narrow flanch over the rail, and were it not for the downward pressure, it would very soon accom plish. At a meeting_ of the Ra ce Committee, held this morning, at the Turf Ilotel, it was resolved. to compress the taLing next year into three days, abolishing Monday', and making up a programine of five races on Tuesday. six on Wednesday (including a Free Handicap, weights to be published on the Ist of March, and acceptances de clared on the Ist of April), and six races on Thuraday.

Now, Mr. Editor, as I cannot give you a diagram, I will explain myself thus briefly:—Tyke a bit of paper, the length no matter, but the width must be, say 28 inches. Now, fold the paper longitudinally, 12 inches from the outer edge ; turn the paper over and fold this side also 12 inches from the outer edge. Now, the two folds will be back to back, and if you open tite.se folds you will have a settee-like form of rail, consiming of a back or flange 12 inches deep, a seat or le . ; e 1 stir fsce 4 inches wide, and a bottom or lower iling - e 12 inches deep. Now, if you turn the paper over yen stiti will have the same form preslented t,) you ; thus proving that the rail will possess a most everlasting wear, as, when the upper side is injured or worn it may be turned over, and what was underneath will in like turn be come the future rail. Upon the 4-inch level surface or ledge the soles of the wheel will rest or travel, having a high flange facing their outer side, and a cor responding one downward inside. These rails may be either fixed in chairs, or else fastened to the sleepers by screw bolts. There must be on the outer side of the upper flange brackets or stays, fastened at their upper part to the flange, and at their lower part to a cross sleeper ; and thus we shall have, as it were, a trunk or channel railway, with an utter impossibility of the train ever getting or running off the line, as it will be kept from swerving to the right or left by the upper flange. The outer edge of the sole of the wheel need not touch the upper flange, thereby avoiding friction, but the upper flange will present to the wheel, should it be inclined to swerve by its rapid progress, a butt, or throw-off, which the .wheel would merely play, as it were, against, but over which it could not go, for the want of a direct bite. These high flanges may be either erect or outwardly inclined a little. This chan nel railway, as I shall call it, is not intended to super sede the flange of the wheels, but they ought to be made a little deeper ; their present depth is quite inadequate to their purpose, viz, keeping the train on the hue. Now. should this channel railway be not approved of, then let the present flimsy rails remain ; but, for the safety of all, let there be flanges bolted on to the inn er s id e o f each wheel, full 12 to 14 inches in depth. Never mind the look, so we, the travellers, are safe. These flanges may be slightly tapering towards their outer edge, so as to avoid unnecessary friction. With these remarks we will have done, except to draw the following conclusions :—First—That with they , alterations there will be an utter impossibility 0 ethe trains leaving the line, either by jumping, jolting, hopping, or bounding, or oscillating. (Jr should two trains meet, their headlong butt will be in a straight line, not as it is at present, sideways ; but one thing will happen with these alterations, through the present imperfect mode of placing the buffer -spring's. The two engines, the mo ment they meet, will rear up, ram-like, both by their own impetus, and that of the hinder carriages pressing hard upon them ; but if the buffer-sprit - a; were placed higher up, say two-thirds from the ground, they not only would not trip or rear up, but could not run into or over each other, but each carriage would receive no more than the amount of shock due to that carriage, according to its distance from the point of collision, as it will be no more than a very severe thrust, and not an overturning shock. This part deserves very great attention, as the buffers, which are intended to ease, if not avoid, a casualty, are the very things, through their being misplaced, that cause the overthrow of the carriages. Again, I do not see why there should not be eight buffer springs to each carriage, four in front and four behind, placed thus—two in front, one on each side, one-third from the ground, the other two front ones, one on each side, one-third from the top, but these top ones ought to be a little longer than the bottom, so that they may receive the shock first. Now the hinder ones are to be placed in the same manner, and if these buffers are furnished with a plug and key sort of adjustment, they may when a severe shock takes place become firmly keyed or locked into each other, and thus the whole line of carriages, at least those who are in the vicinity of the shock, will become as one body im movable ; flo running over each other or overturning, as they are as one carriage firmly united with the buffers, but which may be instantly disconnected by suitable gear. Note.—The accident that happened this week on the Great Western Line to the rapid train, was caused by the jumping, or hopping to and fro swerve of the car riages through there being no stay flanch to the rails, but merely the foolish inch flanch of the wheels. Many will say the flange rail will be too expensive for the companies to adopt. I say, no ; a very great saving will arise from it, not only by no accident ever happening of any moment, and, therefore, no expense in repairs, but a very great increase of passengers will take place through the great confidence the p eo pl e will have in the Channel Railway.
