A liner display of scientific bowling and hitting has not b:2en witnessed through out the season than has been exhibited during this contest, and the result has again proved that the slow bowling is not only not to be laughed at, but that it can and has won another match, even when brought in opposition to the best hitters the kingdom will afford. The match terminated in favour of England, as will be seen by the score, by a majority of 31 runs. ALL ENGLAND. -- - Lilly-white, b Ilillyer 0 b. Mynn lM•arker, s. Dorrinton, b. Hillyer 16 b.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The insertion in The Sun of the subjoined prompt and attentive reply, which I have received to a note complain ing of the anno)ance that myself and other passengers by these steamers are exposed to from the demand of " remem brances" by the stewards, is, I conceive, the most natural channel of communicating the information to others crossing by these vesels, that the stewards are not authorized to make any such demand. Your obedient servant, August 6. SENEX, " South-Eastern Railway, Superintendent's-office, London Terminus, Aug. 5. " Sir,—ln reply to your note addressed to Captain O'Brien, I beg to intorm you that the stewfrds on board the steam packets connected with this Company are not authorized to demand fees. I have written to Mr. Hayward, the manager of these packets, requesting he will at once put a stop to this practice. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, E. G. SHARL WOOD." THE BRAZILIAN PIRATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. believe it is not usual to try the crew of a vessel captured for an offence against the laws for the suppression of the slave trade for piracy. Bad Lieutenant Palmer taken the Felicidade into Sierra Leone, would not the captain and crew have been discharged without any trial--the vessel itself being merely condemned and forfeited as a prize? If so, why was a count entered in the indictment on which the Brazilian pri soners were tried at Exeter for the offence of piracy ? If the offence of carrying on the slave trade be piracy, every crew taken should be put on trial : the Crown may show mercy on conviction, and pardon the off.•nders—the Crown has no power to exempt from trial; conviction must first' take place, then pardon afterwards. If the Brazilians were legally convicted of piracy at Exeter, then those crews who have been captured (and had their vessels condemned at Sierra Leone), and been released without trial for piracy, must have been illegally pardoned, as the royal clemency cannot legally be exercised before trial and convic tion.-1 am, Sir, yours, &c., Ilfracombe, Aug. 6. R. W. D. STATIONERS AND PAPER-MANUFACTURERS' PRO VIDENT SOCIETY. —The annual dinner of the Stationers' and Paper-manufacturers' Provident Society took place at Love. grove's West India Dock Tavern, on Wednesday last. The chair was taken by Mr. E. .Wiggins who was aupported by Mr. Dickenson , Mr. G. Venables, ? Mr. Hollingsworth, Mr. Towgood, Mr. Wilmont, Mr. Tyler, Mr. Gaussen, Mr. Wal ter, and about 90 other members of the trade. After the usual loyal toasts were drank, Mr. John E. Cooper, the Honorary Secretary, read a report of the proceedings of the Society during the past year, from which it appeared that the balance in hand last year was 4,7071., and that there had been since received the sum of 771/. 18s. 61, making 5,4781. 18s. 6d., and, upon deduction of the expenses of the Society during the year, a balance was left in favour of the Society of 381. 12s 6d, making a total of 5,440/. 6s. 6d., of which there was invested with the Commissioners of the Na tional Debt, at interest, 5,295/. 7s. Id. The report alluded to the benefit derived by the Society from the interest allowed by the Commissioners, which being added each half-year, by way of compound interest, was rapidly increasing the funds; and whilst the expenses of the Society were kept at their resent modczatc =ale, the ultimate attainment of the object , of the Soeiety was rendered a matter of certainty. The toast of " Prosperity to the Charity " followed the report, and was succeeded by the " Health of the President , S ir James Wil liams," who was prevented by illness front attending the meet ing. Mr. Dickenson then proposed the " Health of the Chair man," which toast was succeeded by that of " Mr. Gaussen," and the " other Vice-Presidents and officers of the charity." Mr. , Gausson, in:returning thank', urged most forcibly the strong claims of the Institution upon the trade at large, and hoped that, as the report was so favourable, the meeting would not separate until they should make up the funds to 6,000/., to wards which he begged to contribute fifty guineas.—(Cheers.) The liberal example thus set was followed by other contribst' tions, and the sum of 250.1. was speedily added to the former sum. The whole of the proceedings gave the utmost satis faction.

The Coroner's intleteet on the remains of the urifortenate stoker, Richard Peat, took plea yesterday, at the Falcon fins, Liitlehury. The proceedings comttieneod at eleven o'clock, when, after the preliminaries of swearing the jdry and viewing the body were gone through, the first witness called me was John Herbert, a labourer on the line, who deposed to having seen the deceased at Stortford on Monday morning in good health and spirits. He identified the deceased. Robert Scott, another labourer, in the service of the com pany on the line, deposed that he was sitting near the chalk bank between Cheverford and Litticbury, a mile from the latter place, on Monday last, ju-t, before the accident took place. Witness was at dinner at the time alone. He saw the snail train coming down the line from London. It was as near one o'clock as could be, and as it came past he saw one of the carriages off the rail. He saw the engine cross the road and turn over. The train came on the west side of the road. The engine turned round with her head towards London. He saw nothing of the stoker who was killed, for he (witness) was sent off by some gentlemen to assist the passengers, and afterwards he was engaged in getting the luggage and carriages clear. There were three men on the engine. Ile had been on the line twelve months, and he did not think that the train went faster than it did at any other time previously. He had been at work five days near the spot where the accident happened, or within a quarter of a mile both ways, with eight other men. These at the moment were sitting, on the side of the edge at their dinner. Four trains had passed before during the day. Thought that the jump of the engine must have injured the rail. The rail had been examined by the foreman, John Elms wood, after the half-past nine train from London had passed, and nothing was found the matter with it. The foreman, was in the habit of doing so three or four times a day. He saw him examine the line both before and after breakfast. The train came off the eastern side of the western line. The line runs in that part nearly north and south. William Fernihough, an engineer, in the employment of the company, and superintendent of the locomotive department. deposed, that he left London by the half-past eleven o'clock mail train. John Young was driving. The engine was No. 54. The deceased acted as fireman. Witness rode upon the engine from London to the time of the accident. The engine was a new one, and had only been running two or three weeks. He was on the engine in the ordinary course of his duty. The engine was a six wheeled one, and in his judgment a good one. The trains came as well as usual, down to Wendon. He did not know at what time-they left Wendon, but it was his impress sihn they were a little behind time. He was not very certain of this fact, nor could he positively swear to it. They pro ceeded from the Wendon station, as on every day previously since the opening of the line, at the ordinary speed. He was merely a looker-on, and did not speak at this time to the driver, who had the entire control of the engine. If witness had perceived anything incorrect in the management he would have spoken to the driver. After passing through the second tunnel he per ceived the driver reduce the speed by working in the third notch of expansive gear, as he thought, and the steam nearly cut off. It was between the tunnel and the second three arched bridge, but exactly where, he could not say. There is an inclination at that part of the road. He then saw the en gine on the ballast, instead of on the rail, but felt no jump. The accident took place from the sec end bridge, at the distance of about three times the length of the train. The engine ran its a straight direction on the balla-t, about the length of the train, until she struck the inside rail of the up line, and then she. curved round to the right, and turned on to her left side. Witness held fast hold of a cock on the left side of the engine. He did net lose his presence of mind, and thought he might be saved by holding fast if she went on straight He was thrown off when she turned over, and was blinded and confounded among the fragments. When he came to his senses he found himself under the back part of the engine, behind the fire-box. He supposed, from the concussions he received, that he was torn limb from limb, and almost killed. He remained half a moment, and, finding there was no steam or water flying about, he crept out. He did not see anything of the deceased for a quarter of an hour. When witness got free he shouted out the names of the driver and fireman. The former answered, and he saw him reeling about on the side of the road. Witness was so exhausted he was obliged to sit down for a short time. The deceased was found about a quarter of an hour afterwards under the engine, and then it was only his arm was seen. The en gine was removed last. It was plain the deceased must have been killed immediately, for the whole weight of the engine was on him, and one or two of the fire bars having been broken the coke came on to him and burned him. When the engine was removed deceased was on his back on the inner rail of the up-line. Witness had been down the line every day since the opening of the line except the previous Saturday He thought they were travelling at the rate of 30 miles an hour. When they approached the inclined plane they slackened their speed as is usual to do. The accident happened on the incline. Before they slackened speed they had been travelling about 35 miles an hour. It was his opinion that the driver was driving properly at the time of the accident in every respect, and for a quick train, not at an improper or over speed. Had he been going at such a rate it would have been his 'duty to tell him to go slower. He had done so to other men on the line once or twice before. The driver was only known to him about a month or two. He considered him as good a driver as any in the service. He had been on the Manchester and Leeds line, and was remarkable for his caution and carefulness. He was more backward in his driving than otherwise. Witness was on the engine when she was first tried, and he considered her competent to be sent out with a quick train. She was, technically speaking, truly built. She lifted her wheels like all engines. He did not consider the lifting of the wheels dan ger ous, unless it was a very violent lifting. As to the cause of the accident, he thought something threw the engine off. The left-hand side of the f*t plate, where he was standing, did not lift at all. He had reason to suppose that there was something on the rail—that something was wrong in the stationary affairs of the line. It occurred as if a bar had been lying across the line. A stone would not be likely to throw it off by catching the flange, for it would be instantly crushed. Before the en gine got on the ballast he did not perceive any jumping or late ral oscillation. That morning he himself had examined the engine previously to starting from London, and found that everything was correct. . Mr. Duncan, solicitor to the Company, stated that the driver was on the Manchester and Leeds Railway for seven years, and on that line there was an inclined plane of seven miles of 1 in 150. Witness, in continuation, deposed that a tender had re•• cently come off the road when going at a very slow rate be tween Cambridge and Ely. He thought that thirty miles an hour was not too rapid on a curve, and an inclination. By his watch they were about seven minutes behind time at Stortford. He considered the engine not tonsbeavy for a large and powerful engine, and as far as tap-heaviness was concerned, if the road was safe, she was safe too at fifty miles an hour on the level, and thirty down an inclined plane. John Herbert recalled—He had walked up the line shortly before the accident, and every thing was clear. No rails or tools were lying about. , Mr. Joseph Jackson, the superintendent between Cam brioge and Brandon, under Messrs. Grissell and Peto, de posed that he left London by the half-past eleven o'clock train on Monday, in a first-class carriage, in the hinder part of the train. It was the first of the first-class next the engine. He thought they might have been two or three minutes behind time on leaving London. He never travelled in that fast. train before, but he knew its speed from seeing it pass along the line before. They were going along " comfort ably," as he thought, when, at the moment of the accident, the first thing he felt was a difference in the beat of the en gine. He then put his head out of the window, and saw the gravel flying up ; and the engine curving en the right side en abled him to see it. A lady was sitting in the carriage with him ; he held her back, to avoid as much as possible any con cussion. A bump then came, and then another, and all was at a dead stop. He then got out and took out the lady, after which he went to look after the passengers. The engine was lying on her side. He found the driver and Mr. Fernihough, and then he saw a hand projecting from under the engine, which he knew must be the stoker's. He knew he must be dead, from the weight of the engine. Everything was done to remove the engine, which was a' work of some time, and depended on the number of hands employed. When the stoker was taken from under the engine, the police took charge of the body. The death took 'dace from presser., not from scalding, and must have been instantaneous. Witness afterwards examined the line, and found it torn up for some thing like a hundred yards of both rails of the down line. There was a rail injured at one end, and he saw in a moment that that was the cause of the accident, without going farther. A piece of it was not brolisen off, but bent right down. He traced the flange of the wheel, on the bent part, and it oc curred therefore to 'him that that bit of metal was not quite sound, at least not so sound as the rails generally are. It was the end of the rail that was bent. lie thought there was a flaw in the rail which could not be discovered previously. Before the accident occurred they were geine, in his onininn, at -an ordinary pace ; and he did not think that thirty miles an hour down the incline was too fast. Between the engine and the carriages there was a horse-box and a luggage van. The br sken rail was here brought into the room through the window, and it was inspected by the jury. Williem Cox, a labourer on the line, deposed that he was at work near the spot where the accident occurred on Monday, and passed in about a quarter of an hour previously, and the line appeared to be perfect and right in every point. Had there been anything to obstruct the train, he must have seen it, as it was his habit of observin g that portion of the line three or four times, to see all was right. He saw the train coming from where he was on the chalk bank, on the east side. It appeared to him to be going at a faster rate than ever he saw it going before. He saw the engine rocking when at a distance of about fifty yards from him. He then saw the engine jump up, leaving a space of between six and seven inches between the wheel and the metal. Then she came on to a joint, and from this to the ballast. She ploughed the road up and curved round and went into the chalk bank, falling right over. After that he assisted the passengers out of the carriages, but saw nothing of the deceased. The road was in as good repair as it could be. Ho thought the cause of the accident was in the great speed at which the train was going, which in his judg ment was about fifty miles an hour. He had worked on rail ways for about eight years, and could tell their rate of speed very well from experience in looking at them. A conversation occurred here between the Coroner and several gentlemen connected with the Company has to the curve and the inclination at the place of the accident, from which it appeared that the curve had two miles radius; and Mr. Hanson, the director of the traffic, said that whether the curve had an inclination or nut made very little difference. Mr. Phipps, the engineer of the line, in answer to the Coroner, was of opinion that the train might have proceeded at from thirty-five to_ forty miles an hour down the incline, and he agreed with Mr. Jackson as to the; immediate cause of the accident. Mr. Lawford, one of the resident engineers on the line, in answer to a question from the Coroner , said he got out of the train at Wendon, where he thought they had arrived not at a ll after time. They had, however, been behind a few minutes on leaving London. The Co }LONE le said the great point to arrive at was whether the train went at an improper speed or not; and he should like to haie Mr. Phipps sworn, and take his opinion on the accident as far as he could give it. Mr. Phipps was then s worn, and deposed that the accident must have occurred frota the rising of the fire part of the engine, which might arise from the dettresstion of that par. ticutar joint of the rail, nr from preceding; joints putting the engine in a state of oscillatimi. This he was inclined to hold I , to in preference to the opinion that tee train weet at too great 78 a s p ee d, which would have male no difference in such it slight • inclination. Certainly an engine and train might travel down )it with p:rfect safety at thirt y -fiv e miles an ho u r. He thou gh t 4 the engine one of the hest. Mr. Hanson hers stated it was one of the two that took down the Directors and their friend's on the opening excursion. Mr. Fernihough said, in answer to the Coron sr , that the engine was worth 1,800/., and the damage to it lie estimated at about 250/. Mr. Philips, in continuation, was of opinion that over-speed • did not always cause a jumping of the engine. She would jump more, probably, from irregularity in the road—he meant by irregularity depression in the joints. It was the duty of the inspector of the line and his men to see after this. Fernihough explained how Cox's testimony could not be depended on for accuracy. That witness had stated that the .engine jumped six or seven inches ; that he saw space between the flange of the wheel and the rail, and at the distance of fifty yards, which was impossible. Thai CORONER. stated that if it was the fact, 23 Mr. Law ▪ ford had stated conversationally, that the train arrived at Wendon in time, it .might IA fairly inferred the driver could have no objed %Pe'reasing his speed. He thought, however, that it' would la, satistxmory to have that gentleman sworn. Mr. Lawton!, the engineer betwcen Stortford and Cam bridge, deposed that he left London in the train on Monday, and examined his watch and the clock at Shureditch, which agreed. He looked at. his watch again when he arrived at Wendon, and found they had arrived in time to a minute. It ought to tako 6 minutes at 20 miles an hour to reach the spot where the accident occurred from Wendon. ',Nobody t'tmld tell at what moment it occurred. He got out of the train n'!• Wendon. The Como:If/15K said that it was very mach to be desired that General Paley be examined, as he had investigated the cir cumstances of the accident, and in all probability hail corns by this time to a conclusion as to how it originally occurred. They had got at the immediate cause, but not at the first one. if even some intelligent passenger could be brought forward, he might throw some light on a matter which was still involved in some mystery. One or two - of the jury expressed their coincidence with the Coroner's opinion. The COILONER then said that, under all the circumstances, he thought it his duty to adjourn the inquest until General Pasley's evidence could be obtained. After some consultation it was agreed to adjourn the inquest to Wednesday next, at twelve o'clock. ALLEGED MEDICAL ILL-TREAT- TENT. Yesterday forenoon at nine o'clock an inquiry, adjourned from Tuesday last, was resumed before Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., at the White Horse, Great Saffron-hill, on the body of Eliza beth Anne Crouder, aged 39, the -wife of a poor labouring man in the employ of Mr. Merryweather, engine manufacturer, of Long-acre. The inquiry was attended by a large number of medical practitioners. Sarah Thornton was first called. She said she knew de ceased, who reiided at 54, Saffron-hill. On Wednesday week last the deceased was suddenly taken in labour, and Mr. Hawkins, surgeon, of 54, Hatton-garden, was called in to attend her. About eleven o'clock that morning deceased gave birth to a male child. Shortly after the deceased was again seized with violent pain, and expressed her conviction to Mr. Hawkins that she was about to give birth to a second child, and put it to him whether he would not re quire further assistance. In reply to this Mr. Haw kins said that deceased was going on favourably, and added that if there were twenty medical men present, they could render no assistance. 'From the appearance of deceased, witness felt convinced there was a second child, but Mr. Hawkins denied it, and said that all that remained was a small portion of the " presenter." Mr. Hawkins remained with the deceased up to five o'clock the next morning, when lie went away to •procure some medicine for her. The witness here entered into a minute detail of what took place between the interval of the birth of the first child, and 31r. Hawkins's leaving the deceased, the greater portion of which is unfit for publication. The facts deduced went to show that Mr. Hawkins used forcible end undue means towards deceased, the effect of which was to cause great laceration, and ultimately a protrusion of the intestines. During the period Mr. Hawkins was pursuing this course of treatment towards her, the de cease'!, who was suffering the most excruciating agony, frequently complained of his behaviour. airs. Elizabeth Smith proved that she was called up at half-past five o'clock on the morning of Thursday week to attend deceased ; she remained with her until her death, which took place at haif-past six the same evening. Previous to dying, the deceased declared that Mr. Hawkins had mur dered her, and she made a similar declaration to the minister who was sent for to afford her spiritual consolation. The COROSER—When the deceased charged Mr. Hawkins with murdering her, is it your opinion that she was aware that she was in a dying condition ? Witness—Certainly. She thanked us all a quarter of an hour before her death for our kindness towards her, and she then said that Hawkins had murdered her. By the Jury—l heard deceased ask Mr. Hawkins whether he did not require other assistance, but he retuned to call in any one until deceased's husband insisted upon having another medical gentleman sent for. Mr. Thorne, another surgeon, came on the Thursday morning about nine o'clock, and on seeing deceased he instantly declared that there was another child, and that she was in a hopeless condition. After the lapse of a few minutes he succeeded in delivering deceased of the second child. This infant was full-sized anedead, but the first child was alive and well. The deceased had had nine children previously. Mr. John Thorne, of No. 4, Mylne-street, Pentonville, said lie was a surgeon, and was sent for to see deceased on the morning of Thursday week. On examination of deceased, he found large portions of the intestines protruding, and the head of a child presenting itself. The face of the deceased was pallid, and the pule feeble ; indeed it appeared as if the vital power was fast sinking. Seeing this, witness lost no time in delivering deceased of the second child, which he effected with a whalebone fillet. Mr. Gibson, another surgeon, had also arrived, and delivered deceased of the second " placenta," and returned the protruding intestines. He then called witness's attention to a large laceration in the posterior portion of the vagina. Stimulants were given to deceased, in consequence of her sinking condition. Mr. Gibson, surgeon, of 115, Holborn-hill, and Mr. Bartlett, of 24, Hatton-garden, another surgeon, who were called in, corroborated, in all the main points, the evidence as to the condition deceased was in. Mr. J. Hall Davis, of 17, Russell-street, Fitzroy-square, physician, and lecturer on midwifery, said he had made a post morlem examination of the body. • Dr. Forbes, Mr. Thorne, and Mr. Gibson were present at that examination. Mr. Haw kins was not there, although he (witness) had sent him notice in writing when it was to take place. The witness proceeded to describe the lacerations before alluded to, more particularly the rent in the vagina. By the CORONER—I have no doubt but that the latter in jury was done with the hands, in efforts made to separate what was considered by the medical man as the '‘ placenta." The injuries she had thus received were the cause of death. The CORONER here inquired of Mr. Hawkins if he wished to make any statement himself, or that he (the Coroner) should call any witness in his behalf? Mr. Hawkins desired that his sister might be sent for, as she had a conversation with the deceased on the morning she was first taken ill. This was done, but the whole of her statement was flatly contradicted by the husband of the deceased, and the witnesses Thornton and Smith. The CORONER recapitulated the evidence. The evidence adduced certainly implied an extent of ignorance truly in explicable; how any man, possessing a medical education, could have pursued the course adopted by him was truly asto nishing. The jury found, ' 6 That the death of Elizabeth Anne Crouder was produced by the ignorance and unskilful con duct of James Hawkins." The Co aoNE it—Are you aware, gentlemen, that such a ver dict is tantamount to one of manslaughter? The Foreman—We are, Sir. The CORONER said, then he had no alternative but to com mit Mr. Hawkins to Newgate on the charge of manslaughter. Mr. Hawkins applied to be admitted to bail, but the Coroner said he had no power to do so ; and he was committed, on the Coroner's warrant, to Newgate, HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION. WOOLWICH AUG. 7.—A very superb pianoforte was brought to Wool wich to-day by one of Erard's vans, and immediately put on board the Royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht for her Majesty. The river opposite Woolwich is now very animated in consequence of the number of steam-vessels at their moor ings, and the nutnerous boats passing to and from the royal yacht, the Black Eagle, the Lightning, the Porcupine, and the Monkey steam-vessels, intended to proceed to Antwerp on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to the Continent, and the. Cycloop, Duteli steam-vessel, preparing for the embarkation o f the Kimz of the Netherlands. The Lightning steam. vessel, Master-Commander Pettey, and the Monkey steam vessel, Master-Commander William Bryant, are expected to sail to-morrow morning with several of the royal carriaoes on board, to be landed at Antwerp. The Monkey steam-vessel has also taken on board to-day a considerable quantity of new gear and a new screw propeller from 11essrs. Penn and Son's, for the use of the Fairy, steam- tender s to the royal yacht, in case those articles should be required during her Majesty . s progress up the rivers of the Continent. THE IJONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.—The prompt contradiction given to the alle2ations of Mr. Bruce's petition against the London and York Railway, in oue particular in stance within the knowledge of a Member of Parliament, who was (attending in his place when the petition was presented, has been followed up by further disproof of its charges in the Committee. In truth, the promoters of the petition already show a sensefif the consequences which they have incurred by having ra , hly made a wide and sweeping taternent. Mr. Woes, the petitioner, disclaimed any km:est-disci of the faets per sonally; and slid he drew up the document on the inf , rma!ion 01 Mr. Parkes and Mr. Harophre)s, who appear to have egre giously misled him. M. . Pukes, having in vain endeavoured by an excuse, which was overruled, to get an adjournment, then applied to be allowed to select 17 out of the 66 eases, in which motion he was overruled also, the Committee properly de ciding that they would take them all in due course. Taking them so then, the list was begun unsuccessfully enough for the petitioner. Nevertheless, we do not and cannot doubt but that some of the allegations which he has been made to make will be established. But the question, after all, for Parliament to decide will be, whether there is a sufficient admixture of frau dulent subscribers to contaminate and disqualify the whole number, and to defeat a great undertaking. If fifty righteous men could save a wicked and condemned city, how many of the opposite kind shall it take to condemn a company ? We do not implicitly sympathise with the indignation of gentlemen at the bare questioning of their adequacy to meet demands to which they voluntarily come forward and make them selves liable for. In some sort they provoke the in quiry. But, on the other hand, we are bound to re probate the random attack upon solvency by rivals no better qualified. Such a system resembles the speculative and fishing objections against voters, which it has been found necessary to restrain by a provision for giving costs when they are made frivolously and without cause. Enough has already transpired to satisfy us that the proofs of Mr. Bruce's assertions will fall very far short of his allegations. Unless his agents can make out a case of guilty participation or connivance, or negligence, and want of proper precaution, and would bring it under the Galway precedent, they will not be entitled to have the Bill thrown out. The Select Committee have set about their task with an energy which is the more laudable as it is most un common, but although they had not at two o'clOck this morning concluded a sitting which commenced at eleven A.M., we fear that the delay already incurred will render the passing of the Bill this session impossible.— Times.

Sir Ch arias Lemon reported from the Select Committee on Grout) KK of Railways, and to whom several petitions :Taiust the comprised in the said group, together with the re port of the Board of Trade thereon, were referred, that in the case of the Southport and Euston Junction Railway Bill they had heard counsel in support of one of the said petitions, and had also heard counsel in favour of tha said Bill, and that they had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the Bill, but the same had not been: proved to their satisfaction. RAILWAY C01',1341T TES. ( Y ESTER DAY.) HOUSE OF 4.: , 03EV10N5. THE LONDON AND YORK SUBSCRIPTION CONTRACT. The Select Committee—Mr. Hawes, Chairman, and the other members present—met at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the examination of the persons named in Mr. Bruce's petition against the validity of the above-named deed. The passages and lobby leading to the Committee-room were much crowded throughout the day, and the scene of Wednesday was repeated with much effect. It does not appear that the persons against. whom unfounded allegations have been brought are a whit the less iretignsnt because Bruce has expressed his regret at the unjust accusations preferred against them. Mr. J. Theobald's case, or rather the ease of that name, was then called. It seemed that the gentleman in question is a mysterious nobody, for his residence has beeri hitherto un discoverable, in spite of all the active efforts of the detec tive agents to make it out. The name was appended to a dwelling in Finsbury-square, and inno it had been appro priated the sum of 25,000/. for shares in the London and York Railway. The Committee decked, as Mr. Theobald affirmed the hy pothetical case of Hotspur's spirits, and did not come ,when they did summon him, that the addreas was fictitious. The allegations against Mr. Taylor and Mr. Garrett were then withdrawn by !11r. Bruce, with ample apologies towards those gentlemen for the injurious and groundless imputations ofahe petition upon their station and character. Mr. Shakell, the great railway proprietor, of the Charter house, was next examined, and gave his evidence with such - nairett and coolness as to set the Committee in great good humour. This gentleman's case has been so often before the public in various other proceedings of a similar nature, that it is alinost'nseless to state that he is a retir.al carnet, possess ing 261 per annum as the reward of his military services„ 50/. or 60/. from the charity or benevolence of the Charter house (where he resides when in town) ; a rich brother, living at fleetly-hall, Maidenhead, Berks; a good reference to the said hall, whereat he is sometimes a visitor ; and a great taste for railway speculation. He admitted that be had applied for shares on the strength of noddy-hal!, and got them ; that he did not keep any of them, as " he knew better 'than that," hut sold them at a moderate premium. Did he make much money ? asked an Hon. Member. " Not half as much as lie ought," was the raply. Has he any interest in the line ?—Not he, indeed. After a very facetious examination, the Committee decided. that the gallant officer had, in giving hie brother's residence as his own, procured for himself a fictitious credit he did not de serve. Mr. C. Brown, of the .'t. James's Chronicle, a 0 ,5001.. shareholder, was next examined. He was set down in the petition as residing at 30, lilackfriars-ro a d, w h ereas hi s rea l residence is at 38. He stated that the indignant owner of No. 30 was near " pommeling " him, on the supposition that the wrong address had been given on purpose. and that the charac ter of his house would be injured by it. The Committee decided that due diligence had not been used by the petitioner to ascertain the real address of Mr. Brown. Mr. Downes, 3, Tooley-street, 2,50 11. ; Mr. Dawes, Dar lington-place, Borough, 2,0001. ; and Mr. Hitchcock, 52, Broad-street, 50,0001 , were then successively examined, and eroved that the allegations of the Fetition were not well founded, inasmuch as their names and places of abode were not fictitious and false. Major Sherman, 51, St. Mary-axe, 50,000/. ; Mr. Bryant, 108., Leadenhall-street, I.koo/. ; Mr. Strange, Leadenhell street, 1,000/: ; Dr. Hamiltou, 103. Crawford-street, 1,500/. ; Mr. Dance, East-street., Red Lion-square, 12,5001. ; Mr. Badcoek, dairyman, Storey's-gate; 5001. ; Mr. Haines, the Treasury, 1,0001. ; Mr. Monday, warehouseman, Elam terraee, Islington, 1,000/. ; Mr. Pitman, 5, Powis-place, Great Ormond-street, 5,003/. ; Mr. Cox, 7. Dyer's-buildings, Holborn, 10,0001., went next in order, and occupied the Corn- mittee up to their adjournment. Mr. Cox, it was understood, proved refractory, and refused to answer some questions put to him, whereupon he was warned of the consequences, and allowed a special act of grace till to morrow to reflect upon his conduct, and amend it, if so ad vised by his intervening cogitations. In all the other cases it was understood that the result of the investigation established the character and position of the persons assailed in the peti tion ; that Mr. Bruce made the best amend he could in some of them ; and that to others various members of the Committee expressed the regret they felt at seeing gentlemen whose sta tion and respectability they themselves could vouch for placed in so awkward a position. . Up to five o'clock the witnesses were tolerably quiescent, as It was expected the Committee would rise at that, the nsnal hour. However, six o'clock came, but with it no adjourn ment. As the persons in attendance were strictly forbidden to depart without leave, unless they wished to undergo all sorts of inflictions from Speaker's warrants and Sergean's-at- Arms, it may be imagined that they were very wrathful, especially these who were lusting after the flesh-pots at home, or who had dined early, and saw no prospect of supper. At seven o'clock, there fore, there were general signs of mutiny. Grumbles were heard. The House of Commons in general, and that Select Committee in particular, were favoured with a sort of notice not very complimentary or elegant, and several resolute gentle men were actually heading a march down stairs, when it was announced that the Committee had adjourned. " Pray, Sir, is it till eleven or twelve to-morrow Why they've only risen to dine ; they meet again at nine o'clock." This was thought to be a joke, for a few moments, till Honouralle Members confirmed the sad reality, and at nine o'clock, accord ingly, all the witnesses were again assembled in the lobby, in the worst possible humour. One old gentleman declared that " they were more like a council of Red Indians than a Christian House of Commons." Another piteously inquired " How am I to be up before the Lords to-morrow at eleven o'clock if I'm kept up this way?" o:hers enlarged upon the sufferings of their domestic circles at such an unexpected and unusual absence, and a country witness, when it came to eleven o'clock, informed his sympathisitig friends that he never had been up to such an unearthly hour for the last twenty years. AS the time wore on the impatience of the witnesses in creased, and the above complaints and grievances were in creased in vehemence and intensity. Mr. Bruce, Mr. CrouCher, the railway, the contract deed, everything or body that could be assailed, was anathematised with hearty good will, until word was brought out that lion. Members would sit till three or four o'clock, when the elderly witnesses went off in despair, and, search ing for soft spots on the tables and benches of an empty com mit;ee-room, formed a kind of railway bivouac, more novel than picturesque. The more mercurial gentlemen amused themselves with playing leapfrog, distorting the witnesses' names as they were summoned in. Mr. Cox ! Fox ! Nos ! &c., wakening the policemen by alarms of tire, and ringing the division bell with great enerey. liirleed, it is said that such a scene was never witnessed before in the House of Commons, and that the records may be searched in vain for any similar instance of a Committee eittiug beyond midnight. Hon. Members who serve on railway conernittees must certainly be provided with the constitution of a eteam- engioe. It was un derstood that their li:faqir to-day was not altogether passive, • but that some very active business took place inside, and the occasions of doubt and discussiori were certainly not unfrequent, if one might judge from the number of times the room was cleared. it was hoped that the Committee could decide upon the cases before three o'clock, and accordingly the printers were ordered to be in readiness; but finding, at one o'clock this morning, that a grew number of witeresres remained to be examined, they gave in, and ailjeurned at that hour to eleven o'clock. A number of refractory witnesses have been specially in. vited to attend by a :weaket's warrant. LEEDS AND BitAilEoliD RAIL WAY Co AJ Y. The half-yearly meeting of the Pr,:prietors in this railway was held kit: the North ;slidl:lnd Railway station, Leeds, at noon, on Wednesday last. ( h -urge Hudson, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors. presided. There was a large attendance *of shareholders. Great importance attached to the meeting, owing to the arrangement which has just been entered into be tween this Company, the Leeds and Manchester, and the West Yorkshire and West Riding Junction Companies. The following report was read by the secretary :—" Since the last hall-yearly meeting your Directors have obtained the sanction of Parliament to the Bill for making an exten sion of the Leeds and Bradford Bail.vay, from Shipley to Colne, with a branch to llowerth. The engineer is now busily engaged in staking out the line, and no time wiil be lost in obtaining pessessten of the laud. Your Direc tors will, in a short time, he prepared to let part of the new works, and they have already secured the rails and chairs, on moderate terms. From the neighbourhood of Skipton rail ways, in continuation of the extension line, are now projected in nearly every direction, so that the Leeds and Bradford is likely to prove a more important trunk railway than was origi nally contemplated. The engineer reports favourably as to the progress of the works on the original line, which your Directors have every reason to hope wili be completed within the time fixed by the contracts. The recent Parliamentary contest between the West Yorkshire and the Leeds and West Riding Companies has issued in an arrangement on a dif ferent basis from that recommended by your Directors. In that arrangement, however, the right of this Company to the traffic between Leeds and Bradford is distinctly recognised, and your Directors have no reason to doubt that this principle wilt be fully carried out. The subject of a branch line into Wharf dale will be bought before the Shareholders at a future oppor tunity—in the meantime, surveys are collig en. ofthe aced - lint The SECRETARY then read the statemen t Is. 4d.; Company, up to the . from which it oo tl, o t f h j a a t n t e ti . e iB t 4 0 5 ta. , 1 we e 1 I disbursements 6l. of the 145.7:10/. tis. 10d., leaving a and the receipts on calls, &c., balancehc epieor from the b a nkers of 3 , 6 04 /. 7 s. 6 d. u • • s u trtn nous ly agreed to, and after passing reso l u tions of a formal na ture, the meeting ad j ourned. r --.—...--- report w as RETIREMENT OF SIR EDWARD LEES FROM THE GENERAL P O ST-OFFICE. -- This ovent. which has been antici pated for some time past, otair g to the delicate state of Sir Edward's health, has at length taken place ; and we need hardly say that few public servants retire into private life mote univer. sally respected.

Li no case. we be. lieve, has a complaint been made to Sir Edward Lees of an irregularity in the dispatch or arrival of mails, &c., but the most al riot and thorough investigation has taken place to remedy the evil.
