The room was then cleared, and, after a brief deliberation, the agents were called in, and informed by the Chairman that the preamble was agreed to, as were also the clauses, without amend ment, and that the Bill would be reported. Their Lordships then rose. THE Gx, ASGOW, NEILSTON, AND BARR HEAD IZNE.-RENFILEW DISTRICT. The Committee, consisting of Mr. Evans (Chairman), Mr. Muntz, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Miles, sat at twelve o'clock, in the Guildhall, Westminster, to hear traffic evidence on the above line. Mr. Notman, manager el the Hurlet Works, was again examined this morning, and stated that the total goods, coals, iron, kc., sent on the line to Glasgow from these works was 62,477 tons, and to Paisley, 9,809 tons. The witness was cross-examined at come length, without altering the above result in the slightest degree. Mr. M`Lintock, owner of certain stone quarries on the pro posed line, was next examined as to the traffic from his district. The result was included in the traffic tables. The traffic tables were then put in by Mr. Pare, and showed a total of goods, minerals, and passengers, to the extent of 16,9921. 10s. 9d., which, after deducting working expenses, would Nave a remunerating profit of six per cent. to the promoters on their sub. scribed capital. Mr. William M'Creath was examined in corroboration of the mineral traffic evidence. The CiIAIRMAS then stated that the Committee, in order to avoid loss of time, had decided that of the two competing lines the Direct, or Glasgow, Neilston and Barrhead, was the preferable one, and they would, therefore, wish to hear the evidence against it if the opponents were inclined to adduce any. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP K. BURY ST. EDMUNDS AND CAMBRIDGE a,A=LwAY: The Committee on this line sat this morning at the usual hour, Mr. Austin, Q.C., appearing on behalf of the promoters, and Messrs. James, Girden, and Rawlinson representing the Duke of Rutland, Sir T. G. Callow, other landowners, and the Commissioners of the Board of Trade, who bad entered appear. ances against the line. Mr. A t:srts, Q. C., in opening the case, stated that the line was one projected for the purpose of connecting the towns of Cambridge and Bury St. Edmund's, by traversing a distance of twenty-five miles through Swaffham, \loulton, and the important agricultural districts between the termini. The country presented no engineering difficulties whatever, the worst gradients were 1 in LOU, two very short distances alone requiring even those steep inclines. As to the oppusi tion he could scarcely understand its character or intentions ; the Duke of Rutland had entered an appearance against it because he thought that the noise of the trains passing the paddocks at Newmarket would frighten the racing mares when in foal, and injure every foal in ventye suoe matrix—(Laughter)—this was carrying to railway legislation a point long discussed by lawyers respecting the rights of property, and he could not imagine that the Noule Duke feared lest the mares should foal their precious offspring with a locomotive marked on the right shoulder I—(Loud laughter.) Why, if the proximity of the trains would affect anything, it would most likely impress the lucky colts with an emulation to vie the railway speed, and thus enhanoe their value to the owners. —(Laughter.) But the Noble Duke had actually assented to the line, had attended a meeting of the Jockey Club, and expressed his approval there ; and so, after passing the select committee of that body, and coming before the present tribunal, it was met by a most violent and unaccountable opposition. He would, in the present stage of the proceedings, say no more, but immediately call witnesses to prove his case. Mr. Ranson, examined lay Mr. AUSTIN—Is an ironmonger resi ding at Ipswich, employing upwards of three hundred hands. The great proportion of his wares at present go to West Suffolk, Lei. seater, Oxford, Cambridge, Lincoln, West Yorkshire, and other consuming counties. The cost of conveyance between Ipswich and bury is ids. a ton for closely packed, and 275. for engines. Be tween the former town and Cambridge the cost of transit was some what about 365. a ton. By the construction of the line in question he should effect a saving of 75 per cent. over the present mode. Con.. siders the line most advantageously laid out, especially In reference to the town of Ipswich regarded as a port. By Mr. MARTIN—The import duty at present levied on mer chandise at Ipswich is Is. 6d. per ton for coals, and proportionably high for other merchandise. Cross-examined by Mr. RAWLINSON—A shorter route might be selected for the transit of his ware to Warwick and the Eastern counties, by Thetford, but as the trade is chiefly to the north, Cambridge would be the more valuable point of divergence. Cross-examined by Mr. GlADeN—Sends upwards of 300 tons of goods annually to Bury, and more than 1,000 through Cambridge. Does not think a line northward from Iprwic ',would be a means of conveyance preferable to the water navigation. Mr. May, examined by Id r. HILDYASED:Q C. (who appeared in conjunction with Mr. Aurrix)—la a toll.collector and coal-mer. chant at Ipswich, and considers the line from Cambridge to Bury would materially benefit the trade from Ipswich to the eastern counties. Cross-examined by Mr. GIRDEN—The freight between New. castle and Ipswich is Els. 9d. a ton, besides Is. 6d. for dock dues, nd lid. for corporation dues. The best coals could be put upon a Lne at Ipswich at 17: 6d. a ton. Charles May, examined by Mr. HILDYLED, Q.C.—ls a cheese monger at Ipswich, and director of the line now projected between Bury and Cambridge. From Derby and Holland the great propor tion of the cheese is procured, but the water navigation from the former town is a very objectionable means of conveyance, and if a railway communication were established with the Eastern or Mid land Counties, it would be far better than the present mode. Mr. Bryant, a farmer and drover, resident near Newmarket, deposed to the ♦alue of the proposed line through that town, and to the produce and consuming population of the district. The former witness alone would pay 1871. 101. to the railway for the carriage of barley, at the proportion he at present consumes, but this amount would be considerably increased. Mr. Bottom, postmaster of Newmarket, confirmed the evidence of the last witnesses as to the importance of the line to that district ; and, the Speaker being announced at prayers, the Committee ad journed, at four o'clock, until twelve o'clock to-morrow. GROUP L. CHICHESTER AND BRIGHTON LINE. The Committee on Group L, having arrived at the termination of the cases of the Atmospheric Direct line and the Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth lines, this morning took the Chichester and Brighton line. Mr. E. B. Denison was in the chair, with the other Members of the Committee present. Mr. Witarucc , i appeared for the promoters, and after stating that be would reserve his observations until the close of the case, called Mr. Rose, a member of the Town Council of Portsmouth, and an owner oaf considerable property in the borough, who awed that he believed that this line was quite in accordance with the feelings of the peuple of Portsmouth, and was auopted, after the expression of much feeling, by the greater portion of the inhabitants of the town. Mr. HILDYAID stated that this line had been adopted after a public meeting of the inhabitants, convewecl in consequence of a large requisition. In addition to this fact, also, there was the circum stance that a petition had been presented to Parliament, signed by more than 3,000 of the most respectable inhabitants in the town and neighbourhood. The construction of this line would open up a great convenience to the inhabitants of the whole of that line of coast. Coals, for installer, would be brought more readily and and cheaply than by the custom now adopted of bringing them coastwise to Chichester. Colonel Williams, of the Engineers, stated that this would, In his cpinion, be a most important line for the connexion between the several ports. Troops could be conveyed by this line, and con densed on any particular spot, in the course of a few hours, and on this coast, just opposed as it was to the coast of France, this was an object which ought never to be left out of sight. The electric telegraph was a feature of as great importance, almost of as much importance as the line itself. For the general objects of the Government no better line could be laid out, and as a military man he would say, that this line was of incalculable importance, and likely to be of great benefit to the country. Mr. Rastrick, the engineer of the Brighton Railway, stated tbat the railway advantages of this line were pre-eminently great. It was in fact a merely surface line, and offered no engineering diffi culties whatever. The main lice would be 17 miles 73y chains in length, and there was a branch laid out to Fareham of something more than six miles. The earthwork would cost 27,961/. ; the crossings of the public and turnpike roads he estimated at 33,6191. ; for the permanent way, stations, and plant, 127,3831. 155., and for con• tingeeces he had allowed 29,9371., making for the engineering ex /Arises a total of 253,500/. In addition to this there was a charge of 61,501)1. for land, making the aggregate expense 320,0001. The revenue from passengers would be 19,6931. 81., and from goods 3,445/. Os. 10d., making a total of 28,138/. 9s. 6d., amid deducting from this 40 per cent. for working expenses, there was left a ba lance of 16,883/. Is. Sd., which would give a return of more than .5 per cent. on the capital of 320,0001, the aggregate expenses of the line. Mr. Driver, the eminent land surveyor, testified to the accuracy of the land valuation. After some cross examination by Mr. Sergeant Wasslostsm, Mr. WHATELEY replied, and in the course of his observations, stated that petitions for this line had been sent from Portsmouth, Havant, Bognor, Little Hampton, Worthing, Shoreham, and Brighton ; that from Portsmouth signed by more than 3,500 persons, while only two had been presented against it, one from Bognor, and the other from Fareham. This, he thought, was a sufficient indication of toe public feeling on the subject, and of the sense of their own interests which the inhabit ants of that great district entertained. With this observation, he would readily leave the decision of the case to the fairness, inde fatigable industry, and excellent judgment and intelligence of the Committee. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow. GROUP LL. The Committee met at twelve o'clock, Lord John Manners in the chair. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY (WANDSWORTH BRANCH). Mr. Gregory, engineer to the Croydon Railway, was the first witness examined in opposition to the Bill. He stated that the Croydon line was nearly a level throughout, with the exception of two miles five furlongs. The atmospheric line from the Dartmouth Arms to Croydon would be ready to be opened in about six weeks. The object of ,he atmospheric line wasto:supply transit for the short traffic only, and to keep the present trunk lines uninterrupted for the long traffic. The span of the arch on the proposed line crossing the Croydon Railway was thirty feet, which did not allow sufficient room for lay ng down three lines of rail. The height of the arch was eighteen feet. Did not consider that height sufficient for all the purposes of the line. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Hsu, and admitted that he knew of no reason to prevent the promoters maims the span of the arch thirty five, instead of thirty feet. Considered it an en gineering blunder to allow only eighteen feet for the height of the arch, which was to be brick built. Did not know of any reason why the arch should not be otherwise than brick built. Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Croydon Railway, was cress examined, but his evidence was ehiedy of a speculative character, and did not materially affect the projected line.. Mr. James Dudson, accountant to the Croydon Railway Com pany, said the whole capital o f that Company, the atmospheric line included, was 1,200,000/. ; the last dividend was Cs , the av'rage divide,v4 fis. on the wh o l e o f the paid-up capital. The cost of the locomotive poo.er was Is. hid. per mile, and the rates and taxes sl. .s. 4d. per mile. be CAnzataittec then adpurmel tW - 4 w4row At twelve, GROUP Z. The clauses were then considered, which, with a few unim portant alterations were agreed to, and the Committee broke up. PARLIAMEN TARY DIVISIONS.

The Lord Chancellor sat for the first time to.day in Court of Chancery since the last day of Trinity Term. His Lotclohip sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall. •LDYIELD W. COBIETT. Mrs. Cobbett, at the sitting of the Court, applied to his Lord. ship for a writ of habeas corpus, without payment of the fees, to bring rp Mr. Cobbett from the Queen's prison, in order that he might make an application to the Court for his discharge. The LORD OIANCILLOR raid he had fully considered the case, and he did not see why Mr. Cobbett should be treated more favour. ably than any other suitor. He had already heard Mr. Cobbett several times, and he could not grant the application without the payment of the usual fees. Mrs. Cobbett said that Mr. Cobbett had been most cruelly treated. He had been imprisoned for four years, and had been mule a pauper by the proceedings that had been taken against him Mr. Baron Parke had the other day decided that the commitment was bad. The LORD CRANCRLLOR—Then why did he not discharge Mr. Cobbett ? Mrs. Cobbett—He could not do so, my Lord, without the pay ment of the costs, and those Mr. Cobbett, in consequence of the proceedings that have been taken against him, he could not pay, Will your Lordship grant the habeas, provided I can raise tin money to pay the tees ? The LORD CisaNceLtoa—Mr. Cobbett will take any course he may think right; at present I refuse the application because the usual fees have not been paid. Mrs. Cobbett then left the Court. His Lordship then proceeded to hear appeal motions, none of whieh possessed any points of interest except to the parties con cerned. ROLLS' COURT, June 25.

Lacy, the comedian, to recover damages from ➢lr. Bunn, the lessee of Covent-garden Theatre, for the breach of an engagement under which the defendant undertook to permit the plaintiff to perform the principal parts in light comedy, and the plaintiff undertook to enact those characters at Covent. garden Theatre during the season of 1543. Mr. MARTIN (with whom were Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Saun ders) opened the plaintiff's case. The real question that was to be submitted to the jury was, whether the part of Ferdinand, In The Tempest, was light comedy or not, and ridiculous as this ques tion might seem in the first instance, it became in this case one of importance to the members of the theatrical profession, and espe. cially to the plaintiff. Mr. Lacy had undertaken an engagement at Covent-garden at a very small salary (we understood 61. a week) with the understanding that he was only to be called upon to per form the principal parts in light comedy. The engagement was entered into on the 11th of December, 1642, but Mr. Bunn did not begin to perform on his own account until January in the next year. Mr. Charles Kemble resigned the manage. anent early in Dinember, and from that time until Christmas, the performers acted for their own profit and at their own risk ; but in January, 1843, Mr, Bur,n's management com menced. The first part performed by Mr. Lacy, under his agree ment with Mr. Bunn, was a character in a piece called The High. ssusyntan, written by Mr. Morton, a dramatic author of reputa tion. The plaintiff was next called upon to perform Ferdinand in The Tempest, which he declined, upon the ground that it was not a character within the terms of his engagement. Mr. Bunn in sisted that the character of Ferdinand fell within the description of light comedy, and upon this misunderstanding refused to suffer Mr. Lacy to complete his engagement. The consequence of this was, that Mr. Lacy not only lost his salary for the season, but also was deprived of the advantage of being admitted upon the Theatrical Fund, which he would have been entitled to had he completed a second engagement at Covent.garden. In support of the plaintiff's case it was proposed to call many performers of great ernitaence, who would give their opinion sato wh it were properly ca' led "light comedy" parts. If the jury had visited the theatres occa sionally, they were probably not unacquainted with the characters of Charles Surface, in the School for Scandal, Captain Absolute, in the Rivals, and Lord Trinket, in the Hunchback. These were properly described as "light comedy." Characters of this description were usually performed at the great theatres by Mr. Ante!, Mr. Charles Mathews, Mr. Vining, and Mr. Wrench. Some of these gentlemen would be called before the jury, to state whether such a part as that of Ferdinand fell within the range of their line of characters. There were in every theatre a class of characters which properly fell to the "juvenile tra gedian " and the " walking gentleman."—(A laugh.) Ferdinand, he understood, was always performed either by the juvenile tra. gedian or the walking gentleman, and the only exception to this rule was in the case of Mr. Charles Kemble, who belonged to a gifted family, and was himself a performer of great versatility. The Learned Counsel then read Ariel's description of Ferdinand, and other passages from The Tempest, to show that Ferdinand was a grave and serious character, and not one well adapted to a light comedian. Before the plaintiff's witnee'es were called, Mr. Jaavta, who appeared for the defendant, appea'ed to the Lord Chief Baron to say If he did not think this cause would be better disposed of else where, though by so doing he felt he was somewhat marring the amusement of the Court and the public. The Loan Clime BARON certainly doubted if this was the fittest place oe the fittest tribunal for deciding whether Ferdinand was 14ht or heavy comedy. He did not limos bow it was to be preyed , CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE. Mr. Robert Hubbard, editor of the Smithfield Reporter, was the AM witness called this day at the sitting of the Committee. He produced returns of the number of sheep, cows, and other liii stock brought to Smithfield market from the various breeding counties, in each year, for the last fourteen years. It had been his business for that time to attend that market regularly, and make those returns for the information of the public through his paper, and certainly not with any view to forwarding the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway scheme, er giving evidence upon it, or for any other. Witness had also had means of ascertaining the quantity of slaughtered meat brought to the principal London markets in a year, namely, the Newgate and I.,adenhall markets. The average was about 130 carcases of beef, 1,200 of mutton in each week, from Yorkshire and Scotland; but in the present year this number had been greatly exceeded, the number of sheep being 3,000 in one week, of which 1,000 came from Lincolnshire. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE—There was no fat stock brought to the Islington market. That market has been closed about six years. Has seen a good many lean beasts at the b l e . b Did yn.

His cross examination did not elicit any evidence of importance The witness was not cross.examined at any length, and. when his evidence had concluded the Committee adjourned. ' Committee on this group re-assembled to day at twelve The Room 17, the Honourable Mr. Clive in the Chair. o'clock, in _'4T WESTERN (DUBLIN AND MIMI *RI.— GALWAY). Mr. Rowe said that b ,. .f o re the clauses of the Bill were proceed e d with he wished to address a rn w wcrdo to the Committee. He , rt of the proprietors of the had come that morning en the ;on of a clause for the Grand Canal Company, to require the inset,— . she promoters of protection of the canal, as it was the intention or ^bents, the line to construct bridges over it at several points. His . however, had come to the conclusion of refraining from makinv such an application, as it might prejudice their case before the Lords' Committee. He himself felt great pleasure that such a course had been resolved on, as it would prevent further branching, and save the Committee all further trouble. EDINBURGH AND HAWICK X.XNE. On the reassembling of the Committee this morning, Mr. TsLiskfr proceeded to make his general reply en behalf of the promoters of the Bill. He stated if the Committee were of opinion that it would be advisable to make a double line of railway, he was instructed, on behalf of the promoters, to agree to such a proposition, and it could be done without raising any extra amount of capital. The line as at present laid out was intended for a single line, but as it would be connected with the North British Railway, and the plant belonging to that line being sufficient for a double line, no extra expense would be incurred on the Edinburgh and Hawick. The power which the Company possessed of bor. rowing money would be quite sufficient to enable them to lay down a double line of rails. The Learned Counsel concluded his address by calling on the Committee to allow the preamble of the Bill o pass. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and on their re admission, The CHAIRMAN briefly said that the Committee were of opinion that the preamble of the Bill had been proved, and inquired whether the parties interested intended to introduce any amended' clauses. Mr. Burke, the Parliamentary agent, said that no amended tlauses were intended to be proposed. 'When the general Rail way Act for Scotland, now before Parliament, was passed it would be necessary to have an amended clause introduced int..) the Bill. The clauses being unopposed were then passed, and the Com inittee adjourned. GLASGOW BRIDGES BILL. The Committee on this project met today at twelve o'clock, Redeedale in the chair. AUSTIN, in opening the case, paid this was a scheme for constr acting a new bridge over the Clyde, in order to replace the Bishops' Bridge, which was now rendered impassable, and had been closed to the public for some time. The bndge had existed for 300 years, and had been widened and improved as far as was practicable by the late Mr. Telford. Mr. Walker, the Go.. •ernmeat engineer, had been sent down to survey the river, and be had prepared three different plans, all of which had been sub mitted to Sir Robert Peel. He had selected one of which he approved, as it appeared the best adapted for the ac commodation of the Glasgow people, and which plan was then before the Committee. The scheme met with the approbation of - all the influential people in Scotland, and would prove a great public benefit. Mr. Strang and other witnesses were then examined as to the practicability and expense of constructing the proposed bridge. As there was no opposition the Bill was allowed to pass, and the Committee broke up. LEEDS AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION RAILWAY. The Select Committee to whom the above railway has been referred re-assembled at the usual hour this morning, and proceeded with the opposition to the scheme. Mr. George Jackson, of the firm of Jackson and Co., carriers, of Manchester, was called to prove that when the Manchester and Leeds Railway was opened, its competition with the Aire and Calder and other canals proved highly advantageous to the public, but since an amalgamation had been made between the railway and the canals, the advantages resulting from the competition had vanished. Mr. Suclifit, a magistrate of Huddersfield, deposed to the im portance of a line running through Bradford, and striking off to the north-west, as the West Yorkshire would do. The people of Huddersfield were decidedly opposed to the West Riding line. Mr. John Carr, of Halifax, put in the traffic tables which had been taken for the use of the promoters of the West Yorkshire scheme. Mr. William Round, a worsted spinner of Bradford, gave very positive evidence against the proposed railway. The traffic round Bradford was extremely heavy, and it was therefore highly essential that a railway intended to accommodate that town should have the best possible gradients. The station of the proposed railway at -Bradford was 154 feet above the level of the earth, and considered by the people of Bradford to be highly objectionable. Mr. Henry Hartop, manager of the Bowling Iron Works in the neighbourhood of Bradford, and Mr. Serjeant, of the Barclay Iron Works, gave corroborative testimony. The NoaLa CHAIRMAN kere intimated the wish of the Commit tee to pass from the traffic to the engineering evidence. They were inclined to think the result of the inquiry would depend entirely upon the force of that evidence. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said he should be prepared to go into • such evidence after he had examined one or two other witnesses, whose evidence would be of a general character. Mr. Abbott proved that the Leeds and Manchester Company in 1933 undertook to make a branch to Halifax, but they failed to do so until they were compelled in 1843. Mr. Jonathan Ackroyd, a manufacturer of Halifax, proved that he traffic between that town and Bradford was of the heaviest :escription. Mr. Richard Carter, a surveyor, of Halifax, proved that the s cations on the West Riding line were inconvenient gild objec t .onable. Mr. Young, a civil engineer, who had been professionally em oyed on the Leeds and Manchester and London and Birmingham 1 is:es, and who was the resident engineer of the Leeds and Brad t be d line, proved that Mr. Hawkeshaw's estimates were inadequate tbr the construction of the works of the proposed railway, while the gradient and stations were highly objectionable. It would take very little more money to make them favourable,. The state ments in the report of the Board of Trade upon these lines rela tive to the expense of tunnelling in the West Riding districts of Yorkshire were incorrect. The witness was closely cross-examined by Mr. At:sTix, but lie did not appear to swerve from his former evidence. Mr. Lovel proved that the line between Loughmore was moat ob. -tionable. It was upon a very severe gradient, and entered Bradford , up t nan unnecessary elevation. A better line could be obtained, with Xia ors, favourable gradients and a lower station, at very little addi. - tonal ,txpense. It would be extremely difficult to form a junction between the West Eliding line and the Leedi and Bradford Valley line. The line was decidedly ill calculated to accommodate the heavy traffic of the district ; and he was confident a better one ° could be obtained if time were allowed. (.Ir. Robert Stephenson, the engineer to the London and Bir. 3 Ingham Company, confirmed the testimony of Mr. Locke. He a tided that he could lay Gown a better line than the West Riding L 'time were allowed. The Committee shortly afterwards adjourned till tomorrow at 11. • HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP A. On the meeting of the Committee this morning, Mr. Mellor re. , L a - mod the examination of witnesses is favour of the :LONDON, CROYDON, CHATHAM, AND 0 itpvg•GT (ATIVIOSPLAMiZIC 7 Ise first witness called was cues Colley Sherrard, civil engineer, who stated that he had t. et n employed, in the course of October last, by the London and C ro ye.'on Company to lay down a line from the present Croydon line to • I 'ortsmouth, with directions to choose the most direct that could be. n lade, without any gradient greater than lin 50. H e „ n _ sit let ed the Line he hail laid down the best that could be made thi7o, aoh Kent. He was not prepared to speak of the merits or dame rits of the atmospheric principle. He had examined the lice from Kingstown to Dalkey, and was satisfied of the meets enical success of the principle, but was not informed on the subje tof its commercial success. The •expense of the proposed line , mould be about 18,0001. per mile. The expense of the works, stati. ms, atmospheric tube, Electric telegraph, and land, for the line from the junction of the Croydon line to Chatham, would be 546, 851/. The expense of the line from Chatham to Chilham woe id be 343,8551. This included all the items which were in lud ed in the estimate of the line between Croydon and Chatham, with the exception of the atmospheric tube. The reason this was %nit ted was, that this part of the line was to be worked by locomo si ye t'action. The expense of the Orpington branch (atmospheric) iir e 7 Noold be about 120,0001., and thetotal expense of the linefrom the jt inettion ivith the Croydon line to Orpington would be 620,7161. Th es estimales all includ,.l the expense of purchasing :and. 1 le ing cross-examined by Mr. WELANGH4M, the witness stated that t were were three tunnels in the course of the line, one of whi ei i would pass under Fort Pitt. It would be possible to blow up ON • fort from the tunnel. He had never heard of such things being done in time of Mar, from sewers or other passages under Auildi rigs. The atmospheric portion of the line would not be fit for a locomotive line. If used as such it would be a very bad line. The locomotive portion could be used as an atmospheric line, a nd would make a very good One. He believed the Corn wall 11 ailway had worse gradients than one in fifty, and was a loco- Motive • line. Mr. Sergeant WRANSEIAII said that the Cornwall Railway had a axes nglile, but Mr. Sherrard said he knew it to be a locomotive Me. Mr. Rherrard was then cross-examined by Mr. MBRItZWIMIER as to t. le mode of draining those parts of the line on which the highs .radients occur. Sir WatTEst RIDDEL, who appeared on the part of the Commis ,i (Teri ,of the Navigation of the River Medway, cross-examined Ir. : _Slf errard, but no important point was made out by him. 31 r. MiaREWIiTHER here stated that Colonel Cockburn was now prase,.: :, and requested th a t his evidence be now Lakin, M anyoti o . Sergeant \\THAN/SHAM said that before the examination of wou, er witness he wished to m a ke art objection to the further . ,s of this Bill, founded on th e evid ence o f t h e f ormer wanes i, who had stated the intention of the Company to erect a bridge over the river Medw, for which the consent of the Ad iniralt r had net b een obtained ' .

S ergeant produc a the consent of t h e Admiralty to the passin g this bridge, and if it were not produced t of the river by on the part of the Croydon Company. o put a stop to the ev id ence Mr. WlL.sionn said that the objection wa s entirely new. In Admiralty had caused all Cali sin which the non-consent of the A the rejr . ? ction of Bills the Admira:ty h a d made formal objections to them. But even if the formal consent of the Admiralty were ne. raessary ,it could not be expected that the Committee would ., reject the lII] I merely because it was nut produced on the ir,,, . The CliataMLN o:Wight it was necessary to produce tl - se consent of the Admiralty. Mr. Witaroas was willing to produce it, but could not produce It on tl is instant. Mr. Sergeant WILINGII.IIi would withdraw his objection if M r , Wilms ,re said he had the consent, and could produce it. Mr. WiLmoitc said that he had not obtained the formal consent of the Admiralty, but that he had no doubt but he could obtain it. The CHAIIIMIN thought it was sufEcient to produce the consent of the Admiralty any time before the conclusion of the case on the pas tof the Croydon line, but that it would give more satis faction to the Committee to produce it at once. Mr. Witmorrkz undertook to produc e t he consent of the Admi ralty ti i-morrow. Mr. MEIRSWSTICCai on the P ut 'ithe GROUP X. to the jury, unless Mr. Martin produced one performer who would enact the part in the most lugubrious tones, whilst another would perform it with the greatest vivacity, and then the jury might judge which' was' nearest to nature (Laughter.) Mr. MARTIN said the plaintiff was most anxious to adopt any suggestion from the Lord Chief Baron, and it was finallY agreed (apparently much to the disappointment of a crowded Court), that the case should be referred to a gentleman at the bar, on the usual terms. SECONDARIES' COUR T, June 25. (Before Mr. Secondary Po ) FLIMMINQ •. PARKER. This was an action on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be the indorsee. The defendant had pleaded that he did not indorse the bill, but which plea he now abandoned. He, however, made an application that exe .ution should be stayed until he could apply to the Court above, on the ground that the action was premature, as it had been commenced on the very day on whclh the bill became due, and that therefore be had not had a reasonable time to pay It. For the plaintiff it was urged, that as the only piano the record was that the defendant did not accept the bill, but as it was proved that he did so, no question arose on the record which would justify the Learned Secondary in retaining the writ. The SECONDARY said, that with regard to the bringing the action on the day the bill became due, he chd not know at any level m 0... tion, lie did nut CZ:7" — elitA "" : 7 ..

Yuan and Schott, merchant, car ryir-g on business at Amy,. rp intuer the natn of F. (; Peas only, was brought up for final exatnitratien, upon a very st- rious charge of forg ry. Air. Clarkson art ntled for the pro-ecurion Mr. Schutt, the managing partner of the c-frern at. Antwerp. was absent rrom that place in November, ''use had the ut uot . st conti d ereee had al) od '3, end upon his return, heard that the p r i soner , tit whom amthned kt: taken a large sum of rn-ney frore their each-bux, and had filled up a cheque fer 6.000 francs, which he had received, and with the proceeds of which he had disappeared. The prisoner had been accused at Belgium of the offence, and not having surrendered, was condemned par contamace, and sentenced to eight years ' trevaux forces. The charge, however, made against the prisoner on the present occasion by the Learned Couns! was that of having forged. or altered forged notes with guilty knowledge. The prosecutors not having hpiN any thing of the prisoner, considered fhttt they khew the I whole extent of the depredations committed by him ; but, about fifteen days ego, a promissory-note was pre sented for payment, purporting to b o ma d e b y the firm in favour of a M. Brunniughausen of Hamburgh for 5,000 francs. Payment of the note w,ts at once refused, upon the ground that it was a forgery, It was protested for non-paywnt. Shortly afterwards, the prosecutors received a letter, inforwing 004 tit there were other promissorpnotea in circulation bearing their names, and advising them to come to goglaild, and put themselves in correspondence with the writer, who signed himself as being the well-known Vidocq, They came to town, and Ineavar:'.s were adopted for securing the prisoner, who made a desperate Fe4F ! tatice, Mr. Schott stated, that upon leaving Antwerp he left so :ae blank bili hi the hands of the prisoner, to be used ; . 2 the affalr!: of the house only. Here ri bill for 5,000 francs, of the t rans l at i on of which the foiigll4ng is a copy, was prod uce d b y M r. Clarkson : " Antwerp, 9th March, 1845, good for 5,000 francs.

" A. SPIELMAN and CO." Witness gave to the prisoner a bill in conformity to the bill produced, but it was not filled up by any per son in the house which hod no transactions with any of the parties referred to in the bill produced. Witni.lis. upon returning to Antwerp, af'er he had left the b'atik bids in the poss. scion of the prisoner, found that the prisoner had gone if, but dirt rot a all know that he h‘id utterei the bill produced. That bill had ia.t been used for the firm. Mr. Ch tries Bachelet, an agent, residing at No. 63, Reg.mt-street, stated that he knew Dierner well. fie received the bill for .5.000 francs from the prisoner some limo last May, and took it to Messrs. Spielman's for the purpo.e of getting it discounted, upon the un derstandirg that he was to hove a commission upon the d seount. 1-1, received the slim of 65/. on account, and h :tided it to the prisoner in Newgate street, where they hat appointed to met-t. The prisoner had handed to him the bill in Regent-street, at witness's lodgings. Mr. L. F. Barrow, clerk t o M es . rs . Spielman and Co., of Lombard -street, bullion dealers, stated that the bill produced was presented at the office of the firm, between the 12th and 15th May Tact, by a person who sail his name was Ilachelet. The house did not choose to dis count it, but returned it, and Bachelet brought it hack. and the house agreed to discount it if they were at liberty to send it to Antwerp, They did so, and found that the parties were respectable. There was however an ind .rse went upon it relative to which they were anxious to know more, and they gave Bachelet 651. on account. Metropolitan Policeman Bleaplin stated that he appre hended the prisoner at No. 8, Ranelagh-street, Pimlico ; that he was obliged to break open the door of the room, and was then assaulted with a poker by the prisoner. The prisoner (through an interpreter) —I wish to know whether, in consequence of the testimony of the wit nessses, I am to be tried in this country or elsewhere ? The LORD MAYoR—You will be tried here if you are committed here. Do you wish to say anything now in your defence ? The prisoner here asked if he was to consider himself upon his trial at that moment ? The LORD MAYOR—No. It is my duty to consider the evidence against you, and t o comm i t you for trial if I should blink it sufficient, and if so, your trial will take place next month, on the 7th of July. The prisoner—At that rate I shalt reserve my defence until that time, The LORD MAYOR Soon afterwards said, " I shall no .v commit you for trial." - The wiA to hive an exact c , py of the bill of exchonge produced against tne, together with a ,!opy of the dep. ,sitions. - • Mr. Clarkson—We have not the least objection. The prisoner was then c anthitted for trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Ann Wood, a woman who has been for many years ' in the habit of shamming fits fora livelihood, was brought up charged with having played off a scene at Drutninotitt's banking. h ouse . The policeman, who had on prev i ous occasions taken her into custody as an impostor, having been informed 'hat a poor woman walked into the passage leading to the room in which businets was transacted and fell into a fit, went to the place and saw his old acquaintance it, a tit, fro n which his well known voice soon recovered ' her. She was described as a most admirable p, rformer and of course her profits were adapted to the fidelit% with which si,e imitated nature. She said she had long ceased to be considered an imposter, although she admitct'd that the frequency with which she had been visited by the affliction might hays. induced some inj:idiotous persons to imagine that she wa not sincere.

Edward Jones, Robert Grosvenor, and Charles Cobbett, young men of fashionable appearance, Were placed at the bar charged with drunken and disorderly conduct, and also with violently as saulting the police in the execution of their duty. William Metcalfe, police.sergeant, No. 133 of the C division, stated that about four o'clock this morning as he was on du'y in Charles-street, St. James's square, he saw the defendants conduct ing themselves in a very disorderly manner, screaming, hooting, and shouting, and causing so much noise that several of the inhabi tants were aroused in alarm from their beds, and were looking out of windows to ascertain the cause. On his requesting the defen dants to move on in a peaceable manner they made silent grossly abusive language, and Jones and Grosvenor attacked and struck and kicked him several times; he seised one in each hand and they all fell togeth er , h e being uppermost, and while they were struggling on the ground, the defendant Cobbett assaulted witness several times by s triki ng him over the head with the butt-end of his waking cane; he a l so took his rattle out o f hi s poc k e t and was afterwards seen to throw it away. Other constables coming to witness's assistance, the defendants were, after a protracted resist ance, so violent that in the course of it their clothes were literally torn from their backs, secured. They were all very drunk, and at the station-house they described themselves as gentlemen, but re. fused to give their address. Police -constable Willia m Baston, 93 of the C division, ccrro. borated this statement. H e was also assaulted by Grosvenor. Mr. Matrav asked the defendants if they wished to say anything in their defence P—Jones said, if the police had spoken properly to them, no doubt they should have passed on without any dis turbance. Grosvenor said he had no answer to make. Cobbett said he had no recollection of what had taken place. Mr. Matra's' said he should fine them 51. each, or, in default of payment, two months to hard labour in Westminster Bridewell. The defendants, not having the amount required about them, were locked up until they could procure it. - - - A fraud has recently occurred connected with operations in the public securities. A lady who held 2,0001. of Three per Cent. S toc k , wishing to exchange it for Three.and.a- Quarter per C ents., sold it out, but lost the proceeds through the dishonesty o f h er b roker, who did not make the requisite purchase. Some corre s p on d ents who have got hold of this story, have fancied that the mischief was occasioned by some carelessness on the part of the Bank. Thi s supposition turns out, on inquiry, to be corn. pletely erroneous. The forms of transfer were strictly complied with, and the affair was a simple case of fraud on the part of the broker.—Times.
