ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT It WESTERN RAILWAY. .„ aa Slittt e currently reported in the City and in the various test serious i j e roonis of the House of Comnons yesterday afternoon that a tttrtieant wrioeuBtse:inid fatal accident had happened on the line of the Railway.

The Company had, however, promised to bind themselves by certain conditions which would, in some respect, remove his public opposi tion. He had been opposing the Bill in conjunction with the London and Birmingham Company, who had obtained an agree ment with the promoters that was not compatible with the pro posed line. If that arrangement were carried on, he was clearly of opinion that the present railway could not be made within the limits of deviation. ADJOURNED INQUEST.-THE VERDICT. (YESTERDAY.) PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 17.—The inquiry relative to the death of the late Mr. James Alexander Seton was resumed before the Co roner for the borough, this day, at the Guildhall. Mr. Payne (Coroner for the City of London) stated that he at- HOUSE OF LORDS. THE WZLTS, sorzEnsnT, 11NE WET- tended on that occasion for the purpose of proceeding, at a proper time, to produce the evidence of Mrs. Hawkey, and urged that her evidence was most important, inasmuch as it would go to show that the provocation was so great that should Mr. Hawkey be the guilty party, the offence would only amount to manslaughter. This proposition was acceded to by the Coroner. Isabella Frances Hawkey was then called, and sworn—l knew Mr. Seton. The first time I saw him was in the month of April last. I was introduced to him in the month of May. He said to Mr. Hawkey that all his acquaintances had left the rooms, and he wished to he introduced to me. My husband did so, and I danced with him on that ocaasion. He went away then. He expressed a wish that I should call on Mrs. Seton. I saw him once afterwards, when I went to hear the band play, on a Monday. Shortly after I went with Mr. Hawkey to Gosport I saw Mr. Seton. He said :MOUTH 11,11ILW.ELY. The Committee on this Bill met to-day at eleven o'clock. Lord Kenyon, Chairman. Mr. AusriN opened the case for the promoters. The CHAIRMAN—Then, if we sanction the line, it is quite impos sible that it can be made. The Bill was opposed by certain landowners on the proposed line of railway. The Committee came to the decision of not allowing the opposi. tion Counsel to examine witnesses as to the merits of any other in tended line for the next session, and of confining the evidence to the question between the promoters and the opponents as to the interference with property. Mr. COCKBURN then opened the case for the landowners, and called evidence to suppert his arguments. The Committee adjourned at five o'clock till eleven to-morrow. Witness—Not if the arrangements made with the London and Birmingham Company are carried. These arrangements involve the objects he had always sought to obtain. Mr. DANIEL here urged upon the Committee the necessity for having these arrangements disclosed. The CHAIRMAN thought they had better bring Mr. Newdegate's evidence to an end before they discussed that point. Witness was quite satisfied the line, if it were sanctioned as laid down by the plans, would not accommodate Bedworth and Schil vers Coton. He knew of his own knowledge that a better line had been marked out, and one, too, which presented little or no engineering difficulties. It would be more advantageous to the district that the line should run to the westward, and not to the east, because a line running in the latter direction would afford no accommodation to a number of very important interests. If, then, two lines were to be made, the one to the east, in his opinion, would become entirely useless. that he had called on me with his friend Mr. Pits, He said he had left a music-book for me at my house. lie said he would cone again in half an hour. My husband did not then go out for a ride, as he wished to be at home when Mr. Scio❑ called. I called on Mr. Scion by engagement. As I was sitting on a chair by the sofa, about a week or fortnight after the first in troduction, he opened a desk and showed me some dice. He showed me also a ring out of the desk. I stayed and spent the evening. As he handed me a glass of wine he said something I have forgot. He asked me if I would be at home at twelve the next day, if he called and brought the book. I was always at home till two, when I used to walk out with Mr. Hawkey. Mr. Seton asked Mr. Hawkey to let me go with Mrs. Seton to see the drill next day. Mr. Hawkey consented, and told me to go. Mr. Seton called the next day about two o'clock. He remained at my house nearly an hour. That was on a Thursday. I forget the date. I made an observation as to Mrs. Seton waiting for me. He replied he did not care. I never took Mr. Seton's arm in my walk. It came on to rain. I went to Mr. Seton's, but not to the drill. They engaged me to dine with them on the next Saturday. He offered roe his arm on that day. I declined it ; and he said, "If one lady does it another may—my wife is walking with Mr. Maugin." I said my husband did not like it. We went into Portsmouth that afternoon. I know Mr. Tattnell and Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Seton left me because there was not room for us all to walk together. He did not say anything. I saw him on the afternoon of the following day. He said that Mrs. Seton and Mr. Maugin had said to him that he ought not to be turned out by any one, much less a naval man. I think he said so, because I spoke to Mr. Tattnell. The day after the last transaction Mr. Seton came to my house. On Monday Mr. Seton called, and said he knew my husband was out. Mr. Tattnell came in, and Mr. Seton said he was not wanted there—he might go. My husband came in, when they both left. On the Sunday, the day before, as we were going to church we met Mr. Seton, who said something I have forgot. On Tuesday he called, and asked me if my husband was going to Soberton races ? I said, " Yes." He said that he intended to go, but that if Mr. Hawkey went he should not go. He said he had a great deal to say to me, and would come again on that day. My husband did not go to drill on that day. I know Mr. Pym. He came to lunch withlus on that day. Mr. Seton came in while my husband and Mr. Pym were in the room. He was not announced by the servants. Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Pym were sitting behind the door. Ido not think he saw them when he first entered. He started back when he saw they were there. It attracted Mr. Pym's and Mr. Hawkey's notice. I saw Mr. Seton on the following Monday at the soiree. He made me a present of a bouquet of flowers, for which my husband thanked him. He danced with me several times. On one occasion he called on me when Mr. Hawkey was at drill, and said, " It is no use humbugging with you any longer," and he asked me if I intended to give him an oppor tunity or not. He said he knew Mr. Hawkey to be a quarrelsome fellow. He said he knew he should have to go out with Mr. Hawkey in the end, and that he should not go out on the common for nothing. If he gained his point he would not mind. I cannot tell the date of this conversation. There was a knock at the door at the time. He said, " Good God, here is Hawkey." He ran to the table for his hat, and said, " Can't you let me out ?" It was Mr. Pym that came in at that time. Mr. flawkey noticed on that afternoon that I was silent, and asked if Mr. Seton had annoyed me ? On another occasion he offered me something, and said if I did not accept what he offered he could not have any tie over me ; and said, " Perhaps you do not think it of sufficient value." I told him not to insult me any more by such offers. He said place your self in the position of some one whose name I do not know, and with the colonel of our regiment. He said that Lord Cardigan had given that person 1,0001. worth of jewellery. He said, " Would that be any inducement to you ?" I said " No." He said, "If those are your ideas, a man has no chance." I remonstrated with him, and told him he was a married man. He said, " I don't care about her nor she about me, we both please our selves." I forget whether Mr. Hawkey came in at that time. I did not relate the conversation to my husband at that time. I told Mr. Pym. I said, "If he continued to annoy me, I should go home to my mother's, at Rochester." He said he wished would, it was all on his road to Maidstone. My husband is ♦ery tenacious, and therefore I did not tell him. I afterwards saw Mr. Seton, when Mrs. Seton was gone to London. He told me he had just seen her off. There was a soiree on that evening. I went to it. Mr. Seton was there. He said to me he was very unhappy, and that if nothing else would make me like him, sym pathy ought. I saw Mr. Seton two days after. He called with Mrs. Seton. I recollect going to the rooms with Mr. and Mrs. Seton. Mr. Pym and Mr. Hawkey joined us them My husband said he was much displeased at seeing me with him. I did not know my husband was aware of Seton's attentions to me until the Sunday before the duel. Mr. Hawkey, on that day, said he had something to say to me. I went to Anglesey with him in the afternoon, when he told me he was angry at my not telling him what I told Mr. Pym, and that if I told him all he would not take any notice of it. I then told him several things about Mr. Seton's conduct to me. lie did not say much, but did not seem at all pleased. I met Mr. Seta► on Monday, the 19th of May. I bowed to him, but Mr. Hawkey would not let me stop. I afterwards saw him at the soiree the same evening. I had promised a week before to dance with him. When he asked me to do so I said I could not. He said if 1 did not dance with him it must be Hawkey's fault, and tbat he would ask an explanation. I told him to do so, and that most likely he would give him one. I asked Mr. Hawkey what I should do ? He said " You may dance a quadrille.'' That was all I danced with him. He asked why I passed Mrs. Seton, and said, "If you do not know her you do not know me." He said, on the same evening, " Whatever your husband says to me, I shall not go out with him; it is impossible for a cavalry man to mix himself up with an infantry man." My husband wished to sit down by me, but Mr. Seton would not move. My husband said to him " May I have a private word with you ?" Mr. Seton said "An explanation I have long wished." They went into a private room. On coming out, Mr. Seton asked me to take his arm, and said " For God's sake, settle this matter, or there will be such an exposure !" I went away with Mr. Pym. On an occasion of a review of the 59th, Colonel Jones offered me his arm. Mr. Seton said " This lady is under my protection." I said it was no such thing, and left the common and went home. Mr. Seton said he should like to drive me in a cab in London, and asked if there was a chance. My only object in not telling my husband was for fear of the consequences. Mrs. Pym and Mr. Hawkey both re quested that I would not dance the polka. Mr. Pym was a par ticular friend of my husband. _ _ _ THE MIDLAND RAILWAY-NOTTINGHAM TO LINCOLN. The Committee on this Bill assembled to-day at eleven o'clock, Lord Hatherton in the chair. Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the promoters of the Bill, and calved witnesses to prove the case. Mr. HILL appeared for the opponents, certain landowners on the proposed line, and cross.examined the witnesses as to the injury likely to accrue to the opponents. On cross-examination, the Honourable Member said the promoters had undertaken not to construct their line, unless it accomplished the objects which he had always been striving to obtain. A branch running from Balkingtori to Schilvers Coton and Bedworth he did not think would attain those objects. From the mixed nature of the population of the districts it might become necessary to have branches, but not more than one main line. The object he had had in view he was inclined to think might be ac complished by a line running to the east of Bedworth, but the advantages were decidedly in favour of a line running to the west ward. Their Lordships adjourned at five o'clock till eleven o'clock to morrow. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. The following Bills came before the Standing Orders Com mittee, at three o'clock, this day, Lord Shaftesbury, Chairman : The Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Tynemouth Extension) Railway, the Great North of England and Richmond Railway, the Dundee and Perth Railway, the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, the Bridgewater Navigation Railway, the Clydesdale Junction Railway, the Caledonian Railway, the Aber deen Railway, the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, the Dublin and Drogheda Railway, the York and North Midland (Harro gate Branch) Railway, and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The Bills being unopposed, the standing orders were declared to have been complied with. . . The CHAIRMAN said it was become indispensable that the Com mittee should see the agreement. Mr. TALBOT replied that he knew nothing about it, nor had he ver seen it. The CHAIRMAN said they could not pass the preamble without seeing the agreement. Mr. TALBOT said Mr. Parker was ready to state verbally the nature of the agreement. The Standing Orders Committee, having resolved themselves into a Committee on Bills, took the two following unopposed cases : —The Scottish Central Railway and the North British Railway. The preambles of the Bills were declared proved, and the clauses having been gone through, the Committee agreed to report them to the House. The CHAIRMAN ruled that a copy of the agreement itself ought to be put in, and eventually it was arranged that the agreement should be forthcoming to-morrow. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP A. SOUTH-EASTERN (DOVER) LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Kemp and Mr. Hobson, both of Spalding, were next called, and deposed to facts similar to those elicited in the examination of Mr. Hawkes. Mr. Parker, ironmonger, of Spalding, also corroborated the evi dence of Mr. Hawkes, and that of the iron-dealers who had been examined before him. Mr. MERREWETIIER then proceeded with the re-examination of Mr. Bidders, when it appeared that the interference with the righ of way of the Croydon Company, spoken of by him last evening might be avoided, if necessary, by dispensing with a part of th proposed line. Mr. Vignolles' line must have thirty-two engines at work daily, as they would have to travel 3,200 miles each day, and it was not usual for one engine to travel more than 100 miles per day. In witness's estimates of the expense of Mr. Vignolles' Cross-examined—Goods coming from Sheffield to Spalding, by Stamford, would cross the Cambridge and Lincoln line. Mr. John Beale, of Croat, dealer in wool and seeds, and all sorts of agricultural produce, believes that the London and York line would not be so advantageous to that district as the Cambridge and Lincoln line. line he had not included the cost of engines. Mr. Bidders then spoke to the inconvenience resulting from the engine of the atmospheric railway. When this witness's cross-examination concluded, the Committee adjourned. Mr. Robert Stephenson, co-engineer with Mr. Bidders, and also engineer to the London and Birmingham Railway, corroborated Mr. Bidders' evidence with regard to the necessity for and utility of such a line as the proposed South-Eastern Railway, and the inefficiency of the North Kent line. GROUP Z. THE DUBLIN AND GALWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Pim, banker in Dublin, Treasurer of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, and the largest holder of Grand Canal Stock, and interested in the atmospheric railway. The traffic on a line of railway from Galway to Dublin would be greatly increased if judiciously selected. The best line, in his opinion, would be along the line of the Grand Canal. The interests of the public would be far better promoted by a concentration of interests. The Grand Canal cost upwards of two millions. There are annuities to widows and public institutions to the amount of 28,0101. per Mr. Stephenson spoke to the intention of the South-Eastern line to cross Dartford-creek with a drawbridge. He considered draw bridges as dangerous, but thought this an exception. He had never heard of any accident occurring on a swing-bridge in Eng land. There would be two bridges at the same place, in order that there might be one always ready for the engines to pass over. A swing-bridge was a great advantage to the naviga tion of the creek, as vessels could choose the time when the bridge would be raised to pass by. Mr. Stephenson then proceeded to give evidence on the subject of the levels of the South-Eastein line, as compared with the high.water marks at London, Chatham, &c. The proposed extension from Chilham to Dover on the North Kent line would be very inconvenient. To make any line in that direction, ➢lr. Vignolles would be obliged to cut off all angles that could be dispensed with, and the angle at Can terbury would be a great objection to this extension. No line from Chilham to Dover should pass through Canterbury, but the nature of the ground of th-.t part of Kent was such that no line ought to be made in that direction. The best possible line from London to Dover was that already possessed by the South-Eastern Company. annum. Mr. Rowe contended that the proprietors of the Grand Canal were landowners, and had a right to set up another line of railway which would equally benefit the public, and protect the interests of the landholders or canal proprietors. Mr. MURPHY denied that the canal proprietors were only techni cally landowners, and were not entitled to be heard against the present line. The room was then cleared. The Committee, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, came to the following important resolution :—" That the Committee were of opinion that, as canal proprietors, they could pursue the pro posed course by hearing evidence in support of another line." Mr. Pim's examination was then resumed by Mr. E. JAMES, as to the advantageous locality of the line proposed, and a line along the canal. It was a very vicious principle for one company to invest money in another company in their corporate character. It was not so in their individual capacity. By Sir JAMES DUKE—Are you not aware of one railway pur chasing and leasing another ? Mr. Pim—l am ; but Ido not think the principle a good one. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—There were very few divi dends paid out to the Canal stock. Would not deny that the in terests of the Grand Canal would be greatly improved by railway. He suggested that the Cashel line should have gone along the banks of the canal as far as Satins, about forty miles, and then proceed across the country to Cashel. Mr. TALBOT—Did not the Government forgive you a large lump of money last year? Mr. Pim—No ; we paid the Government ten thousand pounds last year for that which was not worth more than tenpence. Mr. TALBOT—Did not the Government advance to the Grand Canal 120,0004, to make branch lines ? Mr. Pim—They did. Mr. TALBOT—And you only repaid them 10,0001. Mr. Piin—Just so ; but the branch lines did not pay, and the Government put the screw upon us.—(Laughter.) This witness was re-examined at considerable length by Mr. E. JAMES. Mr. Mulvaney, engineer and commissioner of drainage, was examined by Mr. I'll7lll'm', of the Irish bar, in corroboration of Mr. Pim's evidence, and stated that the proposed line would cross the traffic districts of the country, instead of passing through it, and from his knowledge of the country, a more preferable line could be adopted. There is no engineering difficulty in the con struction of a railway along the banks of the canal. This witness was examined at great length as to which would be the best trunk branch, at Portarlington or Mullingar. The Learned COUNSEL asked the witness was not Tipperary a finishing county?—(Laughter.) The Learned Counsel intended to have said "flourishing." The CHAIRMAN—A very proper description of Tipperary.-- (Continued laughter.) The Speaker being announced to be at prayers, the Committee ad juorned until twelve o'clock to-morrow. The rest of Mr. Stephenson's evidence was entirely in corrobora tion of that given by the former witnesses, and which has already been published in The Sun. At the conclusion of Mr. Merrewether's examination of Mr. Stephenson, the Committees adjourned till to-morrow, at twelve o'clock. GROUP GG. GLASGOW XUNCTION RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS —Perhaps you will do so for us, Mr. Vignolles ? Witness—l have no objection. The line was sketched on the map. A severe cross-examination followed with regard to the working of the latter line, and the facilities which it would give to the trade of Glasgow. Mr. Leslie, C.E., had examined the plans and sections, and ac cording to them, it would be impossible for the tunnel to avoid opening in Wellington-street. He had seen the borings made, and was aware that a bed of quick-sand would interfere, and that the withdrawal of the water would destroy the foundation of the houses. He knew the proposed tunnel at Edinburgh, and a considerable quantity of water was drawn off there, which had the effect of causing the area walls of the houses near to bulge out wards to the street. He considered that similar danger would attend the boring of the quick-sands in Glasgow. This closed the case for Mr. Campbell, of Blytheswood. Sir W. RIDDELL, in a few words, opened the case for the Glas gow Bridge trustees, also opponents to the scheme, and merely re peating the arguments already so frequently advanced, concluded without calling any witnesses. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, as the day was far advanced, craved till to-morrow before making his reply. The Committee, therefore, adjourned till to-morrow at twelve. GROUP K. THE BIBS, BECOMES, AND YARMOUTH RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Cross-examination continued—The coast line, if constructed, would be very important, and give great accommodation to the dis tricts through which it would pass. Mr. Oswald, examined by Mr. WILD—Is toll collector and inspector of dues at Beccles, at which town 1,600 tons of coal are imported by ships, and 4,000 tons by wherries, from Yarmouth annually. The present price of con veyance to Beccles from London, by land, is Bs. per ton for heavy goods. The freight from the former town to Leeds Is 2s. 6d. per quarter, and to Goole 1 s. 6d. per quarter for malt and grain. The freight between Beccles and Yarmouth is 2s. 6d, a last for corn, 2,000 tons of which is annually conveyed to the latter port. The number of sheep passing through 'Witham to London annually is 3,000, and 2,000 bullocks. If the Diss, Beccles, and Yarmouth Railway were constructed the traffic in those districts would doubtless come upon it. The width of the narrowest part of the river Waveney is 98 feet, and an embankment along its edge serves to carry away the water from upwards of 890 acres that surround it, and effectually prevents all possibility of floods. Cross-examined by Mr. GIRDEN—Has sometimes seen the road adjoining the river flooded two feet deep. During the last winter it was thus flooded three or four times. Supposing that the water, instead of escaping'by the marshes as at present, were not prevented by the embankment from overflowing, it would unques tionably flood the whole country round. Mr. Richard Thornton examined by Mr. WILDE—Is a brewer, resident at Yarmouth, and sends annually between 10,000 and 15,000 barrels of beer to London. During four years his returns amounted to a total of 232,8031. Bs. 10d. The leakage by land carriage is very considerable, and by rail that and the objections of expense would be avoided. Cross-examined by Mr. LEE—Has not carried on the business since 1838, at which time he became bankrupt. A Mr. Daykin succeeded him, but not a twentieth part of the original trade is now kept up. Steamers are now carrying goods from Beccles to London at the rate of Is. 10d. per ton. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DUCHY OF CORNWALL, SOMERSET-HOUSE, Juwx 10, 1845. Commissions by his Royal Highness the Lord Warden of the Stannaries. Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners' Regiment—F. Howell, Gent., to be Second Lieutenant; H. H. Vivian, Gent., to be ditto. William Ellis, master of the royal yacht, living at Stoke-cottage, was next examined. The Coroner having cautioned him as to any evidence he should give that was likely to criminate himself, he proceeded to state : I had no knowledge of the duel until it had taken place. I can say nothing about it. I had no reason to be lieve a duel had taken place. Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Pym came to my house on the 2Sth of May, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. Pyrin wished me to see him in my private par lour. Mr. Hawkey was in my drawing-room, and came in with out my knowing he was there. Mr. Pym told me an unfortunate affair had laken place between Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Seton, and that a gentleman was wounded, naming the place where he lay in Stokes Bay, Mr. Pym requested me to give any assistance I could. They had left persons, with him. I had known Mr. Pym from a child; that was the reason he came to my house. Mr. Pym said he had been the friend. I understood him to mean a second. He told me nothing of the circumstances. Three more witnesses were examined, but the only additional evidence was that the place where the duel was fought was in the parish of Tichfield, and not in the parish of Alverstoke, as alleged. When the examination of these witnesses had closed, the Coroner summed up the evidence, and the jury retired into another room to consider their verdict. The jury, after having been absent about half an hour, returned into the Guildhall, and, by their chairman, Mr. Grant, returned the following verdict : " We find that the immediate cause of Mr. Seton's death was the result of a surgical operation, rendered imperatively necessary by the imminent danger in which he was placed by the infliction of a gunshot wound he received on the 20th of May last, in a duel with Henry Charles Morehead Hawkey, of the Royal Marines. We, therefore, find the said Lieutenant Hawkey and Lieutenant Edward Pym, as well as all the parties concerned in the said duel, Guilty of Wilful Murder. " The jury would further express their unanimous conviction that everything which the best professional skill, the greatest atten tion, and the utmost kindness could suggest, was rendered to Mr. Seton by his respective medical attendants." Commission by the Lord Lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets. The King's Own Light Infantry Regiment of Militia—F. F. Courtenay, Esq., to be Captain, vice Burrowes, deceased, June 11.

Metcalfe examined by Mr. WILDE—Is a soap-manufac turer at Yarmouth, sending upwards of 260,000 tons per annum to Ipswich ; does not send more than 30 tons to Diss, which is obliged to be conveyed by craft, but the navigation is very uncertain, from the constant flooding to which it is subject. All the present traffic to Ipswich would go on :the railway! by Diss, if completed ; and the general feeling of Yarmouth is consequently in favour of the line. Cross.examined by Mr. GIRDEN—Is sure that the feeling of the inhabitants is in favour of the line; and, considering that it will afford such great accommodation to the traffic from Yarmouth to Diss, is quite satisfied that its importance is palpable and un deniable. ------- Mr. Cudden and Mr. Charles May gave similar evidence of the anticipated advantages of the line, and The Committee adjourned at four o'clock. GROUP L. PORTSMOUTH ATMOSPHERIC LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) In the cross.examination of Mr. GuNwrna, Mr. Sparkes stated that his house looked upon the woods •f the opposite hill, and corn. mended a view of the country. Mr. Locke, the engineer, stated that he had examined the plan produced by Mr. Denton, and he was of opinion that the line was shorter, the gradients better, and earthworks less than on the pro posed line. He had merely looked at the line in an engineering view. He had made an estimate of the expense of both lines. There were 21 bridges on the deposited line, and 17 on the de viation line, each being 15 feet high from the curve of the arch to the surface of the rail. The expense would be 57,0001. on one line, and on the other 45,0001., but this did not include the cost of land. The width of ballast at the bottom would be 24 feet. In the re-examination of Mr. GUNNING, Mr. Locke stated that the deviation would be shorter, and would cost 12,0001. less. This closed the case of Lord Grantley. Mr. Keane was called by Mr. RewLiNsoN, but was interrupted by Mr. GUNNING, who stated that Mr. Denten had returned, and that he had ascertained that the plans deposited at the Private Bill Office differed from those deposited with the clerk of the peace, and it was therefore necessary to decide what course should be taken. The plans deposited with the clerk of the peace were correct. After some conversation, it was ruled that the objection should fall to the ground. The examination of Mr. Keane then proceeded; and he stated that he had surveyed the property at Wonersh, and that if the line laid down were adhered to no part of the residential property of Lord Grantley would be touched by the railroad. No portion of the railway would be seen from the grounds or the house except for a short distance from the second-floor windows. He had him. self been in the house, and had sent two other gentlemen to the house to ascertain whether it could be seen, but they were refused admittance. The railway was screened by lofty timbers, especially several spruce fir-trees, and the viaduct could only be seen at a considerable distance. Mr. Drummond, of Albury-park, was called by Mr. RAWLINSON, and stated that in front of his house there was a large conical rock, and while behind that rock the train could not be seen, but it passed afterwards down a narrow valley, during its progress through which the train was seen from the house. ghall-street. At the Court of BanHard,kruptcy, B as i n -- Mr. Drummond was cross-examined by Mr. GUNNING, and stated that what injured one house would, under similar circum stances, injure another; and, therefore, what was disagreeable to him might not be very pleasant to Lord Grantley. He preserved his own pheasants, and he did not think that his Lordship's phea. sant-covers would be any the better for the trains. The Committee then adjourned until tomorrow. F. Jenkyns and J.

SUGAIt.—To-day the market was well supplied with West India Muscovado Sugar; for refining brown and inferior de scriptions of yellow there was an extensive demand. In bright grocery a good business was done. At public sale 122 hhds and 3 tierces of Barbadoes were all sold upon rather lower terms, tine yellow selling at 54s to 555, good 51s to 535, middling 48s to 50s, and low 46s 6d to 475. 483 hhds 8 tierces and 56 barrels of St. Lucia were offered at auction, and all sold at very full rates, excepting the bright grocery kinds, which went a little cheaper. The total quantity of Sugar sold to-day amounted to the enormous quantity of 1,700 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—To-day the demand was as brisk as ever for Refined goods for home consumption, and a further advance in prices took place, brown grocery lumps fetching 72s 6d to 735, standard lumps 73s Gd to 745, and brown melting lumps 71s to 71s Gd per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar fetching higher rates; sales having been made at 40s 9d to 41s per cwt for first quality. MAURITIUS—AII descriptions have been largely dealt in, and a further advance in prices has taken place of 6d per cwt for grey, brown, and inferior sorts of yellow ; whilst the better kinds fully sustained the former value. By private treaty many parcels hare found purchasers, and at auction 9,221 bags, and 15 casks were all sold, good to fine yellow at 49s to 52s 6d, mid to good mid 45s to 48s 6d, low 43s 6d to 44s 6d, corn to good grey 4:3s to 495, low to mid brown 35s to 40s, and good to fine 41s to 43s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day all kinds of Foreign Sugar were much sought after, and even stiffer rates were offered, but pur chases were restricted by the scanty supply at market ; for 1,600 chests of low yellow Havannah 24s Gd per cwt paid, and 26s 6d for a floating cargo of 2,000 chests of good mid quality, which is rather higher. EAST INDlA.—Manilla has been disposed of to a large ex tent, and at rather higher prices; the private operations amount to 14,000 bags of old quality at 23s to 245, but prin cipally at 23s 6d per cwt. Java is greatly wanted, and advanced rates are offered, but few parcels are to be met with. Holders of Bengal have manifested firmness, and none of any kind has been brought to public sale; by private treaty a good business has been transacted in all kinds at a small ad vance in prices. Of Dobah some parcels have been disposed of at stiff rates. Madras has been purchased freely, and very full prices given. TEA.—To-day there was a good deal doing in the Tea market, and *.l to 10d per lb were the current rates paid for common sound Congou cash. The market looks very firm for nearly all kinds of Tea. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was less doing privately in good ordinary Ceylon, but holders were firm, and insisted upon 48s to 49s per cwt. Jamaica is not so much in request, and 51 tierces at auction were sold at barely former rates ; middling heavy colory went at 86s 6d to 87s 6d, low mid dling 80s to 83s 6d, fine fine ordinary 76s fine ord 61, good ordinary 51s to 525, mixed ditto 47s per cwt. Rum, BRANDY, AND lIOLLANDS.—The demand has been brisk for Jamaica Rum ; very full rates have been given, and the quantity sold has been 250 puns. Leeward Island has been in excellent request, and prices are advancing. Demerara is wanted, and stiffer rates are paid. For Calcutta much inquiry has existed, but the reluctance of holders to sell upon former terms, checks business. Brandy is still attracting the attention of buyers, and prices are advancing. For Geneva prices remain at Is 8d to is 9d for jshipping, and Corn at pir 2s s 2dto its 2s ar 9 e d i p o e s r 2 g d a . llon for home consumption. English SPICES.—This afternoon 4,548 bags Penang Pepper were brought to public sale, and chiefly sold, but at rather lower rates, half heavy brown free from dust and stalks went at 2id to 2id, sea damaged first and second class 2id to 2ad, and third class 2bd per lb.; 24 brls and 8 casks of Jamaica Ginger were disposed of at 51 Is to 61 19s for mid and good mid, and at 31 lOs per cwt for low quality, being cheaper ; 53 bags of Pimento went at 2id to 3d per lb for mid quality. SAGO.—There has again been a good business transacted by pnvate treaty, and prices are still advancing; 140 boxes at public sales this afternoon, were sold at 25s 6d to 27s 6d for good to fine small white Pearl, but chiefly at 27s to 27s 6d per cwt, which is higher. COCIIINEAL.—There was little desire evinced to operate to-day, and privately few parcels of Honduras were disposed of; at public sale 47 bags of Mexican black and 10 bags of silvers were offered, the former only partly sold at about the former value, viz., middling to good at 5s 5d to 5s Bd, fine 5s 9d to 5s 10d, the latter taken in at 4s 10(1 to 5s for un garbled, but a few lots of siftings were sold at 3s 7d to 4s sd, and 17 bags of Cochineal garblings at is 9d to Is 10d per lb. SALTPETRE.-The demand for rough is on the increase, and by private treaty several parcels have been disposed of: Holders show firmness, and supp'y the market less freely : at public sale 1,000 bags of Calcutta were offered to-day, and sold at full rates. INDIGO.—The purchases made have been extremely limited by shippers and the home trade, and those parties that are inclined to sell have been compelled to take prices rather under those of the last quarterly sales for all kinds, with the exception of fine Bengal. Ou.s.—This afternoon 30 tuns of Southern and 70 tuns of Elephant Oil were brought to public sale, and went at lower rates ; the former only partly sold at 291 15s for fine pale ; the latter was only in part disposed of at 261 to 291 for mid to fine, and low at 2515 s to 251 lOs per tun. TALLOW.—There has again been much activity in the market for Russian, and a further advance in prices has taken place. On the spot numerous purchases have been made, and 40s9d to 41s per cwt. are the current rates given for fine P.Y.C. For delivery the demand has been active, and 41s to 41s 6d per cwt paid for the last three mouths of the year; merchants show much firmness, and at St. Petersburgh prices are still rising with every prospect of the supply being much less than the previous season. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH,June 17. Sittings at Nisi Prins before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.) HAKIM V. DREW. This action was brought to recover compensation for the injury which the plaintiff had sustaiined by reason of his leg having been broken whilst returning upon the defendant's coach from the Derby in 1844. It happened that upon the occasion in question, the coach was driven by a person, who was stated by the plaintiff's wit nesses to be unskilful, and otherwise incompetent to perform the duty, and that in returning from the course he not wily took the wrong side of the road, but otherwise drove so badly that some of the passengers got off and refused to proceed with him to town. Those persons, however, afterwards resumed their position although no improvement occurred in the driving, and it happened at last that the coach was driven so close to the side that the plaintiff's leg, by striking against some projecting matter, was broken. The injury affected the plaintiff's health considerably, and obliged him to relinquish engagements as a bookkeeper, from which he derived 701. a year. Mr. Sergeant Bytes and Mr. E. James appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Luau (with whom was Mr. Hawkins) appeared for the de.. fence, and called witnesses to show that the injury was partly ac. cidental, and partly the consequence of the plaintiff's own negli gence in allowing his leg to hang over the coach in such a manner as to meet the obstacle which it would have otherwise escaped. The Learned Counsel, in support:of his defence, called witnesses who gave the coachman a good character in his capacity as a coach man, but none of the persons who so testified in his favour had been driven by him for several years back. Lord DENMAN told the jury that if the accident was produced by the neglect of the plaintiff himself, he could not recover any com - pensation, even though the driver was negligent; but if they con sidered that the plaintiff was not in fault, they ought to give him damages adequate to the injury which he sustained. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 17. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN THE MATTER OF BATT AND BATT Y BANKRUPTS. These bankrupts, who were silk-merchants in Broad-street, came up to-day for their last examination. The official assignee stated that he had every reason to be satisfied with the accounts, which had been rendered with perfect fairness and fulness, and there could be no doubt that the bankruptcy was entirely owing to a fall in the silk trade. No opposition was offered, the creditors having all declared them. selves satisfied with the accounts. The last examination was then passed, and His Horroua added—lt is not often that I am enabled to con. gratulate bankrupts on the state of their accounts, as I am happy to do in this case. The bankruptcy is evidently owing to a fall in the silk market, and I congratulate you upon there being no rea son that you should feel any of that degradation, in the position you now occupy, which is usually attached to persons who ap pear here. We have been given to understand that the debts and liabilities of the bankrupts are something less than 170,0001., of which about 150,0001. are hilly secured, and the parties will receive 20s. in the pound ; upon the remainder a dividend of ss. or 6s, is expected. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Ann Pourt;;;as brought before Mr. Maltby for final exa.. mination, charged with having caused the death of her infant by violence. The prisoner, it appeared, was servant at No. 19, Hanway.street. She was delivered of the child on the 2d of May, and the discovery was made immediately. The child was found dead under sus picious circumstances a few hours afterwards, and the police made acquainted with the occurrence. As soon as the prisoner could be removed she was brought to this Court and charged with destroy. ing her child ; but as the prisoner was in a very weak state it was deemed advisable to remand her to the hospital for such period as would enable her to recover strength sufficient to encounter the necessary judicial investigation. Diana Hugo, charwoman, said that about six in the morning of the ed of May, she went to work at Hanway.street. When she was let in she found marks of blood on the kitchen floor, and other appearances, which, coupled with her previous suspicion of the pregnancy of the prisoner, induced her to believe that the prisoner had recently been delivered. Witness called her mistress, who came down stairs and questioned the prisoner. The prisoner de nied the accusation, and said she had been taken suddenly unwell, but would soon be better. In consequence of hearing the cry of an infant, witness looked about, and in the coal-cellar found a female infant newly-born wrapped in a gown belonging to the prisoner. The prisoner was put to bed, and the child was given to her. At that time witness saw nothing more than two scratches on the arm, and two light cuts or scratches on the throat. Mrs. England, the mistress, proved the finding the child, the sending for a surgeon, and the subsequent death of the infant under suspicion.; circumstances. Mr. Odling, surgeon, said he was called early in the morning of the 2d of May. He found the prisoner had just been delivered. The child was in bed with her and appeared to be doing well. In the evening witness called and found the child dead, with marks of violence on its person, particularly about the head. LYCEUM THEATRE. On Monday evening a new ballet, in three tableaux, called Les Fees, was produced at this theatre with the most triumph ant success. The Danseuses Anglaises, whose performance in the grand burlesque of Cinderella met with se much suc cess and applause, appearing in a new and elegant pas. These clever children, who may now equally divide honours with their foreign rivals, executed this pretty dance with the utmost grace and precision. The ballet is composed by Mr. Frampton, and he deserves very great credit for so pleasing a production. The tableaux and grouping of the children are exceedingly beau tiful, the last one more especially, le palais des Fees, was very beautifully managed, and loudly applauded. Master Forrest also danced very cleverly. At the conclusion of the ballet Mr. Frampton and the children were called for, and received the unbounded applause of a house crowded to the ceiling. VAUXHALL. The first Bal Masque of the season took place here on Monday, under the direction of Musard. Every endeavour was made, by attention to costume, &c., to make it the fac simile of the ball given at Buckingham Palace last Friday Reek, and the music composed expressly by Musard for the Palace ball was performed at Vauxhall. The whole went off admirably, and the Gardens were crowded. We understand that, according to present arrange ments, her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the royal suite, will leave Buckingham Palace to-morrow, vid i ;the South-Western Rail way, for Osborne House, Isle of Wight, for a sojourn of a few days. Her Majesty will travel by a special train, and will embark, it is understood, in the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, for Cowes. It is said that the contemplated visit to Germany by the Sovereign will take place soon after the prorogation of Parliament; but we believe her Majesty's absence from this country will not exceed three weeks.—Herald. THE BRECONSHIRE LEAD MINES.—We some time since informed our readers that lead mines had been discovered on an estate belonging to P. Vaughan, Esq., in the parish of Lien. ddewi Abergwessin, in this county, which had been taken by some parties well conversant with property of this descrip tion. It is with much pleasure we now learn that the prospects of the adventurers are so exceedingly good as to have induced parties of great respectability and capital to join them, and the works are in consequence now carried on with much spirit ; there is every expectation that a source of great profit will arise to those who are embarked in th undertaking, and also to the landlord. The proposed Welsh Mid e land Railway will afford increased facility for taking the ore to the market, and must, in other respects, prove beneficial to the re. sources of that part of the country. The employment of many people in the mines will also be a great benefit to the district. — Silurian. The annual inspection of her Majesty's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Gu ar d, took place at St. James's Palace yes terday, when the whole of th e corps were inspected by their Captain, the Earl of Beverley, attended by the Lieutenant, the Ensign, the Clerk of the Cheque, and the Exon in Waiting. FATAL ACCIDENT AT DONCASTER.—On Sunday last nine young men got into a "float" and crossed the river Dun for the purpose of walking about the fields. Here they continued for some time, and again got into the " float " for the pu rpose of returning home. When about h a lf- way across , one o f the party, in a joking manner, gave his brother a slight push, the effect of which was to swamp the float, when the whole were precipitated into the water. Assistance was promptly rendered by those on shore, but, notwithstanding, three of the young men sunk, and it was some time before they could be got out. Every means were talon to restore animation, but without effect. GROUP SS. COVENTRY, BEDWOR W TH, Y AND NUNEATON RAILA. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Newdegate, ➢I.P., owner of the Griff Colliery, had paid some attention to the proposed line of railway. He was made ac quainted of the course it was to take just before the plans were de. posited. He considered it then, and he still considered it to be a most objectionable line. Beginning at the Trent Valley, he thought it left the population and the minerals, and failed to provide that accommodation to the manufacturers of the The prisoner was given into custody, and a coroner's inquest was held. The verdict of the jury was to the effect that the infant had met its death from the fracture of the skull. Mr. Hind, surgeon, made a post tnorton examination of the child. There were fractures and injuries about the head sufficient to cause and account for death. The injuries were not very visible externally. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody, said the prisoner accounted for the injuries visible on the infant, by saying that a day or two before delivery she had fallen down stairs, and hurt herself very much. The opinion of Mr. Hind was that the injuries had been caused by violence, but how that violence was inflicted he could not say. In defence, the prisoner said she let the child fall, and that was how the bruise on the face occurred. She added she was not aware she should have been confined so soon, or she would have left her place. Mr. MA LTBY said the case must go before a jury, and accordingly fully committed the prisoner. QUEEN-SQUARE. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—Yesterday Jane Walker, 17 years of age, was charged with the following deliberate attempt to murder her sister, a girl two years younger. Mary Walker, the complainant, whose right arm was bandaged up, and who exhibited a slight cut on the forehead, said that she lived with her parents at No. 26, Little Chapel_strett, Westminster. At about four that morning prisoner came there, and having roused her from her sleep requested her to get up, and go with her to her lodgings, at 10, York-terrace. Her father being afraid that prisoner would create a disturbance unless her wish was complied with recommended complainant to go, and she accordingly dressed herself and accompanied her sister. On arriving at the house prisoner told her to get into bed and go to sleep, and whilst she was doing so the accused left the room, observing that she was going to sit for a little while at the street-door. Com plainant in a few minutes fell asleep, and was awoke by feel ing a knife passing across her throat. She immediately jumped up, and found the prisoner, who declared that she was going to cut her head off, standing over her with a large table-knife. She struggled for some time to get the weapon from her sister, during which prisoner tried to cut her throat, and in putting up her arm to prevent her doing so, the latter became severely cut. Com plainant succeeded in wresting the knife from prisoner's hand, who immediately rushed to the table and took up another; but the cries of the complainant having brought a man to the spot, she was prevented from using any further violence. Complainant said her sister was in liquor at the time, and added that she received the cut on the forehead in the course of the struggle fur the knife. A large table-knife was produced, which prisoner had taken away from her father at the time she went for hec sister ; it had some blood upon it. Prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that she was in liquor, and did not know what she was about at the time. The father, a pensioner from the army, supporting himself by aid of crutches, said that his daughter, the prisoner, had given him a very great deal of trouble. She had robbed him of his quarter's pension about a twelvemonth age, and had been charged at that Court. He had subsequently got her into an asylum, in hopes of reclaiming her, but without effect. Her conduct was such that he thought frequently she was not in a sound state of mind.—The prisoner was remanded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE SUTTON PARK RACES-MONDAY.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 17. - - - - The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. The report on the Newport and Pontypool Railway Bill was brought up, and the Bill was ordered to be engrossed. Shaw's Waterworks Bill was read a third time and passed. The Manchester and Birmingham Railway Bill (Ashton Branch) was reported, and the Bill was ordered to be engrossed- The North Wiles Railway Bill was reported, and ordt•red to be engrossed.

The' reports of the London sand South-Western Railways, Nos. 1 and 2, were brought up and received. CORNWALL RAILWAY. The report of this Bill was brought up. On the motion that it be received, . Captain BERKELEY opposed the motion. He was against this railway on several grounds. Falmouth was the first port which ships reached in coming from the westward, and it was neces sary that there should be telegraphic communication between that harbour and London. For such a purpose a railway was much required. But, according to the route which it was proposed to take, the present railway having to cross two rivers, it would be impossible to preserve at all times the telegraphic communication entire. This was a serious objection. The line crossed five navigable rivers, over three of which swivel bridges were to be erected. When it was high water they would require to be open; when it was low water they would have to be shut ; so that great inconvenience would arise in the traffic of the railway. All these objections might be avoided by their taking up the Central Cornwall line. It was true the Board of Trade had reported against that line, but that was no just reason why they should not take the subject into their considera tion. The central line would save a distance of sixty miles between Falmouth and London ; it would also save the time which would now be required to cross the Hamoaze by the floating bridge, which would be at least twenty minutes. The Central Railway crossed above the Hamoaze. The pro moters of the present Bill talked about making docks at Fal mouth. Why they had no power to make docks, neither had they any money to do so, and they were deceiving the House. Most of the engineers who had been examined said that it was not only a roundabout, but a dangerous line, and the railroad, insttad of being a quick communication between Fal mouth and London, would he a very slow one. Under these circumstances he would not detain the House longer, but would at once move that the report be brought up that day six months. Mr. MACAULAY hoped that, as chairman of the Com mittee, he might be permitted to say a few words. If the House did not place confidence in the Committee, or if they thought that no prima facie case bad been made out, then they ought to move that the evidence taken before the Committee be printed.--( Hear, hear.) But he hoped that upon the strength of a series of assertions by an individual Member the House would not overturn the deliberate and unanimous decision cf a Committee. It was said that the majority of the engineers examined before the Committee had stated the line to be dangerous, and that had been stated by a gentleman who had not heard a syllable of the evidence. Now, speaking from his recollection of the evidence, be should be inclined to say that such was not the case, and he considered it rather too much for a gentleman to get up and read a printed paper, put forth by the opponents of the Bill, in opposition to the report of the Committee, which had carefully examined the subject for twenty days—(Cheers)—and who certainly had not shown themselves the mere tools of the Great Western Com pany. Four schemes bad been propounded Ly the Great Western Company before that Committee. Of those schemes the Committee ,had reported in favour of one and rejected an other, and had postponed the other two.—( }Lear.) The Committee considered that there were con.qi derable objections to the gradients of the proposed line, particularly if it were to be worked by locomotive power.. But they thought that the county of Cornwall ought not to be without a railway ; that it was of the utmost importance to secure a railway communication between Plymouth and Falmouth, and that, in fact, this was not a mere Cornish, but a British question.—(" Hear," and cheers. ) If they rejected this line, what line could they take ? The plan was brought before the Board of Trade, and re ported against by that Board. They examined the difference between the competing lines—they called upon the promoters of the Central Cornish line, but they did not appear. Why did they not appear? Why did not the promoters, he repeated, come forward ? He had seen a defence in print, which certainly was the worst defence he had ever met with. They said they did not come forward because of the extreme scarcity of money. Upon this ground they alleged they could not go on with the undertaking. If they could not find capital in May, 1845, when were they to find it?— (Hear, hear.) The fact was, the Committee went rauch further into the merits of the proposed lines than was their duty. And as regarded the engineering evidence, the great mass of it went to say that the line selected was the best practical line. If the House thought this a case for their interference, they might have the evidence read over ; but he trusted they would not accede to the motion of the Gallant Officer. Lord G. SOMERSET said he thought the decision of the Committee was every way entitled to deference. He thought that by acceding to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman the House would form a very dangerous precedent, and would there fore-oppose it. Mr. PENDARVES thought, that notwithstanding the engineering difficulties, a proper line of railway might be carried through Cornwall. He believed there would be sufficient traffic to support a railway. The pointrof securing an advantageous communication between London and Exeter in time of war would be highly important. He felt perfectly satisfied that the line, as described in the plan, never could be properly carried out. Both the Admiralty and the Board of Ordnance were opposed to the line, and the authority of these bodies constituted a strong objection. Let them seek their own line if they please, bit at the same time let other parties have the opportunity it proving the ad vantages of another line. He felt persuaded that if the Com mittee had had a sufficient opportunity of hearing the evi dence on the line which had been shut out, they would have come to a different decision on the subject. Sir CHARLES LEMON observed (hat it had been stated that a line might be projected which would reduce the distance between London and Exeter to 60 miles less than the proposed line. His Hon. Friend came forward as a septuagenarian, and said that the distance might be diminished by seventy miles. The line at present before the House was supported by all the landowners in its vicinity, every one of whom were shareholders in it, and further his Hon. Friend was the first person who moved the adoption of the line which he now op. posed. Mr. PENDARVES explained, and admitted he had ori ginally supported the line, but had subsequently seen fit to alter his opinion. Mr. RASHLEIGH said that, as one of the representatives of the other division of the county (Cornwall), he would say it was the unanimous opinion of the people whom he represented that the railway before the House would be conducive to the interests of the country at large. He would not enter into details on the subject, although, if it were wished, he would go into a description of the entire line. It passed through one of the finest and most fertile districts in the county, and it was the general desire of all the influential per sons and landowners that the line should be adopted. Mr. TURNER said that he had been originally a member of the Provisional Committee upon the opposing line, but as that scheme was not properly carried forward, it was suffered to fall to the ground, although be himself had subscribed one-fourth of the expenses. He was understood to say he would support the motion. After a few words from Captain PLUMRIDGE, Sir S. SPRY said he would withdraw the clause which he had proposed. The motion that the Bill be reported that day six months was then put, and negatived without a division. enD T gr h o e ss r e e d p . ort was then received, and the Bill was ordered to be UDDESTON AND NECHELS IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr SPOONER moved that the time for receiving the report from the Committee on the Duddeston and Nechels Improvement Bill be adjourned until Monday, the 30th inst.— Agreed to. NEWPORT AND PONTYPOOL RAILWAY BILL. Lord SANDON moved the adoption of the report of the Committee on the Newport and Pontypool Railway Bill, which was agreed to. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY BILL. Mr. PRINGLE moved the adoption of the report of the Committee on the Manchester and Leeds Railway. FACTORIES BILL. Mr. AGLIONBY presented petitions from the Messrs. Shaw, of Yorkshire, and other mill-owners, praying for the adoption of the Ten Hours' Bill. Captain LAIRD presented petitions from Stockton, Bury, and Ashton-under-Lyne, praying for the adoption of the Teu Hours' Bill. Mr. T. DUN COMBE presented a petition from Hudders. field in favour of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill. SCOTCH POOR-LAW BILL. The HoN.
