" ' Mint SECOND EDITION: ' fr itnillS LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1845. The House of Lords met at Five o'Clock. The Privy Council Appellant Act Amendment Juris diction Bill was read a second time, after a short dis- cession. On the motion that the Auction Duties Bill be read a second time, The Duke of RICHMOND moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The agricultural inte - igt ought to be relieved by the remission of the malt-tax. They paid the expenses of the prosecution of prisoners, and for the maintenance of prisoners in prison ; they were also burdened with the payment of the clergyman in every parish, and therefore he thought that the Go vernment ought to pay half the county-rate, and from 20 to 30 per cent. of the poor-rates. The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that the tax was both demoralising and unproductive, and that therefore it ougbt to be removed. The Earl of MALMESBURY considered that tie agr'. cultural interest had been injured by the measures of the Governmeat. The Earl of WINCHILSEA, Lord BEAUMONT, and Lord STANLEY supported the measure. The Marquis of NORMANBY objected to the abolition of the auction duty, because he considered that it would make the income-tax perpetual. On a division the numbers were—Content, 33 ; Non- Contents, 15 ; Majority, 18. The Bill then went through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time. The Customs Duty Bill passed through Committee, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to• morrow. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. F. FRENCH moved that the Irish Great Western (Dublin and Galway) Railway Bill be permitted to proceed. Mr. ESTCOTT opposed the motion. The motion was opposed by several Members of the Standing Orders Committee, but was eventually carried by a majority of 16, the numbers being—For the Motion, 97 ; Against, 81 ; Majority, 16. A long discussion ensued as to the attendance of Members on Railway Committees, and it was suggested by Mr. HUME and several other Hon. Members that a call of the House ought to take place, in order to compel the attendance of Irish Members. On the order of the day for the bringing up of the report on the Maynooth Bill being read, Mr. SHAESIAN CRAWFORD moved an amendment, that any provision for the separate or exclu sive education of any particular religious denomina tion, or for the support or endowment of any religious sect or sects by State grants, or funds raised by com pulsory assessment, whether under the name of tithes, rents, cesses, taxes, regium donum, or under any other name or form whatever, is a violation of the rights of conscience, detrimental to religious truth, and danger ous to civil and religious freedom, and that all such establishments, grants, or endowments now in existence in the United Kingdom ought to be discontinued with as little delay as may be consistent with a due regard to the rights of those who have life interests in the same. This motion gave rise to a lengthened discussion, which was terminated by a division in which Mr. CRAWFORD'S motion was rejected by 139, and the Re port on the Maynooth Grant was received. Lord PALMERSTON then rose to ask Sir R. PEEL a question respecting the slave-trade, that led to an ani mated debate, terminating, h,,wever, in no immediate re cult ; and, after the other orders of the day were dis posed of, the House adjourned. Mr. 1-ItmE has given notice that on Friday next he will move a call of the House. The attendance of Mem bers in Committees, independent of other Parliamentary duties, has become so fatiguing, owing to the vast number of railways and private Bills, that a more equal division of labour is found absolutely necessary, and a very general feeling was expressed last night of the hardship that certain representatives should be csom pelled to do all the drudgery of Parliament, while not fewer than one hundred Members were absent without leave, and enjoying rustic felicity during the most busy period of the session. Lord CASTLEREAGII, concurring with others in such sentiments, asked whether the House was prepared to order the Sergeant-at-Arms to be sent over to Ireland, to bring in custody those Honourable Members who had not attended Parliament this session ; and the reply was, on the part of Lord G. SOMERSET, that he should be prepared, in the case of every Member, whether connected with England, Ireland, or Scotland, who did not attend when summoned, to move that he be committed to the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. This question will, therefore, be brought to an issue, and it will be curious to see what influence the order will have on the Irish absentees. Probably some of them will set the resolution at defiance. In Ireland it is no uncommon occurrence for an officer with a judge's warrant, or other warrants equally peremp- . tory, to be kept at b a y f or wee k s , a -_, d finally compelled to retire with defeat. Will the Speaker's warrant in this instance be treated with more respect ? Mr. O'CONNELL and a great portion of his tail have wilfully absented themselves from the House of Commons; they regard the Legislature as totally ueeitss for Irish purposes, and it is extremely probable that ' they will carry out perhaps a preconcerted plan, and avoid the warrant. But, besides, it will re quire a small army of officers to capture the recreant Members—some will escape to the fastnesses of the west or south, others will hide themselves in Dublin ; and supposing that each Member is endued with the obstinate spirit and resolution of Cenus WILSON, ten officers br each fugitive would be barely sufficient. Some twenty or thirty representatives have deserted their post, so that a force of at least two hundred men would be required to carry on this gittnreoafinMneetuntbrearl-. hunting, even supposing th e peasantry to em Still-hunting was nothing to this. But to look at the subject in a serious light, the public cannot fail to view Mr. O'CONNELL'S conduct in a very unfavourable light. Certain parties, it is true, have exhibited an uncharitable apirit in reference to the Maynooth grant, but that is no fault • " of Commons or the Govern me ' b did Members the rs oy :. vs Never r:n e se perform their duty so towards Ireland a s t h e tna j - i jority - on net question, including Whigi• Tonic and Radical Reforniers ; oh of whom nave sacrificed great interests for the sake of principle and rendering justice to Ireland. The least that Mr. O'ConsEtL can do is to assist them in this noble " i nirpose. Does he wish to strengthen a entertained by some of his political enemies, and refuse to lend his powerful aid in forwarding mea • sures which may render agitation unnecessary ? IThe first and most natural emotion excited by an overwhelming calamity like that which has just occurred at Yarmouth, through the fall of an iron suspension bridge, is naturally one of profound regret for so vast a number of our fellow-creatures and countrymen, sud denly, and in a moment, as it were, of unheeding fes • tivity, swept off the stage of human existence! The next impression produced by so awful a catastrophe as this sacrifice of more than 100 lives, in little more than as many seconds, is one of profound sympathy for the be reaved survivors of these ill-fated victims, who, in the relations of wives, sons, daughters, husbands, have lost their natural friends or protectors, their guar dians or parents. The considerations, however, which connect themselves with so ,frightful and extensive a dis aster, are too solemn for a more enlarged discussion in this place. We turn, therefor e, from the irretrievable destruction of life to the precautions which the demands of future security so imperatively raguire to be adopted in testing the stability of all public wor ks, structures, and e di hu :s, upon or a b ou t w hi ch masa 's of the people ke:v at any ti me to b e congregated. It are 1. would be strange, indeed, were this horrible causualty to be allowed to pass out of the public remembrancewithout furCishing a sa l utary as well as memorable lesso.. l, in the firs,;place, to those who ls; in the second undertake such eonstructio.to the au thority and principals, municipal or' other, by whom they are employed. Is it possible to give , maore force and point however to such a lesson than are coi-municated by some of the incidents connected with this deplorable accident ? We do not bappon ro aware of tile dimensions of ti pis suspension-budge, or the or weiglit of the chair 19, the suspenclin.z-rode, or the links, the total length of the bridge, the dis tance between the extreme points of suspension, or the aggregate weight of metal employed. But it would seem, that at the moment preceding its breaking through or down—that is when the greatest number of spectators was upon it—there were not above four hundred persons assembled, and of these a large proportion were probably youths and children. Sup pose there had been five hundred adults of the average weight of twelve stone each ; their united pressure on the bridge would have been but thirty-seven tons. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the material, the design, or the construction of this bridge, must have been faulty to a most extraordinary extent. We should be extremely sorry to prejudge the cause of a misfortune which must so soon become the subject of legal inquiry. The matter is still open, no doubt, to the proof, for aught we know to the cont.rary, that it was the result of una voidable causes not within the control, nor, necessarily, within the cognisance or calculations of the architect, the engineer, or the contractor, or of the surveyor, or Committee who may have approved and reported upon both the design and execution of the bridge. But let us take the fact to be so; and even on that most favourable assumption how powerful a case is made out for the esta blishment of some responsible jurisdiction—some Na tional Commission of scientific and practical men, who shall be invested with the important trust of minutely examining and severely testing every work of this kind before the proprietary or di rection shall be at liberty to open it to the public. It is really remarkable that bat a few weeks have elapsed since the fatal falling in of part of a railway bridge at Ashton ; and, if we remember rightly, within a very brief period indeed, this same town of Yarmouth has been signalised by two other fatal accidents. In the first, the centering of an archway being struck too soon, the super incumbent masonry gave way, the master-builder nar rowly escaping with his life, his foreman being killed on the spot ; in the second, under circumstances not rely dissimilar, the same master-builder being himself killed on the spot, together with one of his labourers. Surely, had the works in question been previously inspected by duly qualified persons, having no further interest in the matter but to make such report as should be consistent with their own reputation, veracity, and standing, professional or official, there is every human probability that these sad con sequences would not have ensued. If for a moment we picture a case nearer home, we are absolutely ap. palled at the bare imagination of what might have hap pened on Thursday last, when Hungerford Suspension bridge was first thrown open. In the course of the day its total length of fourteen hundred feet was crossed by at least twenty-five thousand people. But on its ex treme centre breadth of six hundred feet from tower to tower, there were collected, at one period, not less than one thousand people. What would have been the effect of bad construction, defective material, or untested de sign, in that instance ? Averse as we are, on general principles, to the inter vention of the Government on suspension-bridges or railroads, the first duty of that Government, it must be allowed, is to provide for the personal safety of the QUEEN'S subjects ; and if the Commission we speak of were to be composed, one-half of private, the other of Government engineers—the latter to be remunerated by the Minister, the former by the county or the district—the main objection to its constitu tion would be removed. And, indeed, up to this extent, w e should as much advocate the interference of Government as we should deprecate such interference beyond it. But the Government itself, as in its whole legislation on money and on railroads, is always prone to commit the error of exceeding the mark, which they would do so beneficially for the public to pawe at. Arid, with all respect for the Premier, we cannot help sit) ing that if, instead of indulging his morbid horror of private " speculation," which is the soul of all mercan tile enterprise and greatness, he would limit his legisla tion to avoid positive, tangible evil to the public, he would make the just distinction he has so mischievously missed in the two cases we refer to, of leaving private capital to pursue its own evolutions, so long as these do not infringe on the public convenience or welfare. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have b'en received, but we find no news in them of the slightest interest. On that day the Three per Cents. closed at 35: 4 1 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 26 1-16 ; and the Debt without interest at 84 for cash, and 91 at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday brought the discussion on the Jesuit question to a con clusion, by adopting the following resolution proposed by M. THIERS :—" The Chamber, relying on the Go vernment for the execution of the laws of the Statc?, passes to the order of the day." The result appeared to give great satisfaction, not only to the Ministry, but the great mkority of the Chamber, for in a House con sisting four hundred, not more than forty Members n i pposed it—these consisting chiefly of Legitimatists and Members of the extreme Left. After M. BERRYER had finished his speech in the early part of the day, the Attorney-General, M. HEBERT, followed, and took nearly the same view of the case as M. THIER3, but de nounced the Jesuits in still stronger terms. The exist ence of the Society in France, as an unlicensed con gregation, he said, was an evil, and contrary to the law. The Jesuits he regarded as the most dangerous and most con tant enemies of the two revolutions, the source of al the liberties of France. " The laws against them," concluded the speaker, " exist and are efficacious ; wisdom, perhaps, counsels that they be allowed to sleep fur t time, for peace is better than war, and persuasion better than force S but if peace be no longer possible, and persuasion fruitless, the laws, I repeat, exist, and ought to be executed.' N. DE LAMARTINE spoke next but amidst constant interrup tions. his eloquence was all thr,wn away, for no one would listen to arguments ior the separation of Church and State, and !..itavour of the Jesuits. The Marquis DE LA IIccIiEJAQUELIN had no better success, and the reeling in the Chamber left no doubt whatever that unle , .s the Government put down theoe iliti'lguing reli gious politicians, the represclUaliVes of the people do it for them M, tliikas, on finding that his motion met Wll,h the approbation of the Government, again hrifly addressed the Chamber in those words ! " After the declaration Of M. Martin (du 'Nord), I thihk we have come pretty nearly to an Understanding. I shall state my opinion. There are laws or the State Inhontestible, Uncontested— Uncontested, at least, 1* the boverninent, by me, or by a great Oortion Of the Mcitbcrs of this Chamber. In consequence of cir. trrstsshcts these laws remained unexecuted. The cireumettatices tibte changed, and it has become urgent that the lbws thotild be a;.plied. Nevertheless, the Ootiefintlent Charged With their etecu tion ought to have the latitude whith is necessary for that ptirPoSe. It has had recourse to the spirittial authority: I appitre Of that proceeding, but Upon. one hohnltioli. It is this, that whatever may be the result Of it* negotiations with that authority (an authority fespeet, but to which I would not submit the laws of my Country), the laws shall be put in execution. On this Conilititin the Minister of Public Worship and myself agree in opinion: This is an admission that the laws exist, and that the applitation of them is necessary, and It 15 well understood that should the hegotiatitins with the spirituel authority be unsuccessful, that aitheatiOn of the IaWS Will take plate," On mr.4l.lay the Chamber was to take into considera tion the Bill for arming the fortifications of Paris, Thfyb amendments had been announced, and it was generally believed that one of them, which is to the following tired, would be adopted t—" Paris shall not be placed In a state of defence but in virtue of a law, and the arming of the fortifications shall not take place until after war shall have been de clared." The papers announce that on the cele bration of the KING'S fa: at Lyons a deplorable accident happened on one of the bridges. The crowd, eager to see the fireworks, had rushed forward in a mass to obtain good places, when eight persons were trampled to death. No business was done at Paris in the public funds on Sunday.

NOVEL RACE OF MAN V. Hortm—Yesterday considerable number of the sporting fraternity met at the Three Cats public-house, at Acton-bottom, to witness the singular and novel match performed, which was for Mountjoy (the well.known London pedestrian) to contend against Mr. Counsellor's horse. The terms of the contest were that Mountjoy should hop on one leg 75 yards, and the horse to gallop 1511 yards, the first in to be the winner. The stakes were 101. aside. In the betting department there was a good deal of speculation. The necessary preliminaries being arranged, the arnpetitors came to the starting scratch, and Mountjoy, taking his position in advance of the horse, leaving 75 yards to the winning post, the signal was given, and away they went, Mountjoy hopping with great dexterity, and the horse was quickly in a gallop. The biped having stole a march upon his quadruped opponent, all efforts of the jockey were unsuccessful, and Mountjoy came in the winner. FATAL ACCIDENT BY MACHINERY.—MANCRES• TER, SATURDAY. — Yesterday a most melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Messrs. Yates' mill, commonly called the Bee Hive Mill, Jersey-street, in this town. It appears that on the morning of yesterday, a female, about 23 years of age, named Ellz4beth Elliot, went into the mill in search of employment, which she had been promised. On entering the room in which she was to have been employed, her clothes were caught by an upright shaft going at the time at the rate of 160 revolutions a minute. She was instantly "lapped" round the shaft, and several minutes elapsed before the engine could be stopped to extricate her. The shaft is situate within a few inches of the wall, so that with each revolution she :/as 4Re d co as id; h An ed zi ag ds a e l ua n ta s h t ; t E h u e ras w rz a e l ot l u . orzedo Sh ri. e was dreadfully mutilated and siguiuteendceeadofvrthheenutnakfaevnoudriwbnle. stateln the evening an inquest was held before Mr. Chapman and a respectable jury, when a verdict of IC of AL the G w A ea ß t D her EN , the S.— o Th peni Co ng n of beie gardens has been pos tponeduntil Whit-Monday next, THIS DAY'q N - t, MONEY and CONIMERCIAL NEWS. an', QUARTET: TO THREE.

The advices by the West India Mail are of a satisfactory character, and there is a generally promising statement as to the weather and the crops in Jamaica and the other leading islands. The labouring classes were conducting themselves With propriety, and affording indubitable evi dence of the superiority of the inducement to freedom over the coercion of slavery, by working steadily and continuously. It is true there . are instances of occasional ebullition of feeling among them; but are suck confined to coloured populations only? The supplies of sugar from several of time islands will be large, and the shipments were much forwarder than usual. In fact, the large quantity already received in the port of London will attest this. Matters in Hayti are evidently in a satisfactory position, and there appears to have been sonic apprehension of a re- Hewed outbreak. The letters by the Overland mail not being yet delivered, we are only enabled to state that the published accounts are considered to be satisfactory.

The Committee assembled this day, shortly atter Twelve o'clock, having adjourned over from Friday last, at the request of Counsel on both sides, who, as we announced in:our first edition of that day, stated that they made the request hi the hope that, as there was no difference between the promoters of the lines and the petitioners against them as to the principle, they would be'able to make mutual arrangements as to details. Upon the CHAIRMAN taking his seat, Mr. D'Exticouwr said he was happy to inform the Committee that all turthcr opposition from the projectors of the Hull and Gains_ borough had been withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN wished to know if there was not some opposition by landowners? He had heard that Lord Scarborough was one of those. Mr. D'EY:sconwr taid he was not sure whether Lord Scarborough would appear at all. The CHAIRMAN asked if Mr. Duckle bad withdrawn his oppo. sition ? Mr. Duckle's agent said he would be able to give an answer in a few minutes; an agreement had been drawn up, and it only re mained to be signed, The Clerk said the next petitioners were the proprietors of the Gainsborough bridge. The agent for the Company said he had no opposition to the preamble; he only wished to propose a clause. The Cliatamitx wished to know deny person appeared on behalf of Lord Scarborough. The agent stated he believed that Lord Scarborough would not appear by counsel. His Lordship did not oppose the preamble. His was a claim for compensation. _ The Cle►k said the next petitioners were the trustees of the Barton Waterside Road. Mr. HILL, said he appeared merely on a clause. The Rev. Mr. Williams said he would not appear by counsel, but would have his case in the hands of the Committee. The Clerk said the next petition was from the proprietors of the River Trent, but there had been no, appearance to it. The Cuscamax then asked if any person appeared for the Hull and Gainsborough Company 2 Mr. WEBSTER said be did, and begged to announce that they would offer no further opposition. The Custards)/ then said the Committee were of opinion, that the preamble of the Bill had been proved. He then stated. that an application bad been made to increase the capital from 600,0001.. to 800,0001. Itir;Picitzat No said they merely wished to alter that portion Or the 4th clause, so as to increase the capital by 200,0001. in oroer to have funds at their command to make a double line of rail all through. The CHAIRMAN doubted if they had the power to make the alteration.—Some discussion having followed upon this pang, it was agreed upon to flame a separaee clause to meet the difficulty and the Chairman left the room for the purpse of consulting the Speaker as to the consistency of such a course with the , tanding orders. He returned in about ha►l an hour, at d stated that having consulted the highest authority to which lie could refer, the result was, that the Bill must either be proceeded with as it stood ; or if they intended to increase their stated capital, they would have to go before the Standing Orders Committee again, and in fact go through all the steps again in reference to the estimates, &c. Mr. P CRERING said that under these circumstances they would proceed wills their Bill as it stood. The Clerk then proceeded to read the clauses. Clauses 16 and 17 were postponed fur the appearance of Mr. Dunkle's agent. Ou clause 18 being read. Mr. HILL, on behalf of certain turnpike trusts, in opposition to the proposed crossing by the proposed line of the levels of the turnpike roads passing betwe,ll Hull and Lincoln through Brigg. It was the wain line to Brigg, a very populous town, anti Vie cross. ing, would bring the trains so near as to cause risk to the people liv►ng in that locality, who were constantly in the habit of walking there, and pas ing and repassing with cattle, children, &c. Mr. It. Ouston, one of the turnpike trustees, deposed that the line proposed to be crossed was a great thoroughfare for carriers, cattle, children, &c. ; this would be the third crossing proposed to be made within a mile. There was no difficulty to making bridges at the crossings except the expense to the Company. To the CuitiesiaN—Has had no personal experience of danger attending level crossings; his alarm is from a general supposition as to inconvenience and danger. There would be four trains pass ing each way every day, Mr. Fowler, engineer, on behalf of the promoters of the line, deposed that if the Company were compel;ed to make bridges at those crossings, the expense would amount to neatly 12,0001. To the CHAIRMAN —The precautions to be taken by the pro moters would be sufficient to guard against danger. The Company were willing to leave the matter to the Board of Trade. The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee were of opinion that no case of danger had been made out; and some of the Members had travelled in other countries u here all the crossings were crossings on a level, and no danger was apprehended. Indeed, he (the Chairman) himself knew instances where bridges had been built at crossings, and applications were made to have them taken down again.— (Laugh t er.) Group 0. TRENT VALLEY. The clauses of this Bill were proceeded with at the sitting of the Committee. Clauses 1 to 15 were agreed to without opposition. An amendment to clause 16, which states that any shareholder holding shares to the amount of 60,000/., may be at liberty to call an extraosdinary meeting of the Company, was proposed by Mr. Forsyth, on the part of the Grand Junction, to the effect that any shareholder holding 500 shares, to the amount of 25,000/, or up wards, might require an extraordinary meeting to be convened. Mr. TALBOT, for the Trent Valley Company, contended that the proposed qualification was not too large, and that Shareholders holding shares to a less amount than 60,0001., ought not to be at liberty to put the Company to so much inconvenience. The Committee was of opinion that the original clause should stand.—An amendment was also proposed to clause 17, respecting the number of shares necessary to give votes, which was not enter tained by the Committee. Group F. The Committee appointed to investigate the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled this morning—present Mt. Shaw, Chair. man, Mr. V. Stuart, Mr. Lockhart, Mr. Bramston, Mr. tics:in Drummond. LONDON, WORCESTER, AND SOUTH STAFFORD. SHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. AUSTIN proceeded to open the case for the promoters of this line The line commenced at the Tting station of the London and Birmingham Railway, crossed the coup. try to . Worcester, and so on to Dudley. There was an extension to Wolverhampton, which was Bill number two, and there was a branch from Dudley to Sedgley, which was Bill num ber three. These lines would be through valley courses, would have easy gradients, and would accommodate a most important and thickly populated district. The line for which he appeared was opposed by one proposed by the Great Western Company—the one line being on the broad guage, and the other, the London and Lir. min. ham line, on the narrow gunge. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to point out the local advantages of the line he advocated. He next addressed filmset to the question of the guage. He read an extract from the report of the Board of Trade, showing that with respect to to the gradients and engineering peculiarities there was little to choose between the contending tines, but that the eel' point at issue was the broad and narrow guages. The broad guage was 7 feet between rail and rail ; whereas the narrow guage was but 4 fee, 8} inches. The Learned Gentleman said he would address himself to this question of guage, as it wad the great matter which the Committee had to settle. Group V. The Committee, the O'Connor Don, Chairman, on the Bills classed under this group assembled this morning at 12 o'clock, in the room 19, and the engineering evidence on the Nottingham and Lincoln lint was proceeded with. The first witness called was Frederick Swanick, who was joint engineer on the line with Mr. R. Stevenson : he stated the cost of the proposed line at 408,0601., of which 73,4401. was appropriated to the purchase of land and to compensation for injury done to property. This would give 12,0001. for cost per mile, and 47,498/. for roads and bridges. The line was intended to be above 33 miles in length, and would cross three turnpike roads and 34 highways. The witness was cross.ex4mined by Mr. Sergeant CLARKE and Mr. HILL , Q. C., but nothing materially different from the exami. nation in chief was elicited. Group 00. The Committee reassembled this day at 12 o'clock, in Room No. 17. Present the Right Hon. H. LABOUCHEkE, Chairman, Mr. Divett, Mr. A. Hussey, Lord Ingestrie, an vi Ilr. G. W. Heneage. The procceedings were opened by the Hon. Chairman, who said, he thought it better to take the postponed clauses in the unop posed case of THE WHITBY AND PICKERING RAILWAY. Mr. Hudson was called—The tolls proposed to be charged were the same as those charged on the Syston and P terbor:us2h way. The CHIIRMAN—Yon prop , s,e by tho,e amendud clau•es to limit the inggage of firat-Zleis parthhAf'..is to 100ibs. weight. Now, you also limit the second and !bird...lass passengers in the gattle ratio to a smaller amount. In the Syston and Peterborough, the first class are allowed to take 1501b5., and the second and third class pas sengers 10011 , s. withoat charge. Mr. HUDSON had no objection to amend the clause in reference to luggage. In iact, he would agree u,akts the taint as the Syston and Peterborough. • The clauses regulating the tolls and charges were then agreed to as amended. They are strictly copies of the tolls and charges in the SI ston and Peterborough Railway But. The CtlatnNiAN said he would report to the Hotbe that the fill had been gone through. Group X. The Committee in this groups re..4sbemb:ed at twelve o'clock. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The Committee proceeded with the evidence in this cue. Mr Thomas Bowyer, miller, of Huntingdon, gave evazience to the effect that he formerly carried on an extensive trade in flour with London, but that he had been recently shut out of this market on account of the imperfect modes of transit, and the high rates imposed. He considered that if the transit was reduced he could regain his fo'mer trade and command the London market He made at present 300 sacks of flour a week. He was a:so a dealer in ci als. He used Lord Londonderry's Seabam coal He used 1,500 tons a year, taking an average of the last four years. The freight was 4s. per ton, and Is Id. per ton for tolls, n - aking ss. Id. in all. He dealt in seeds, which he sent to several markets, amongst others, to London, Hull, and Scot:and. The railway, he considered, would effect a considerable reduction in the carriage of these. He dealt likewise in oil, rape-cake, and guano. He sold of these 700 tons. The sale was principally to the westward. Wool was another article in which he traded. The amount he sent was 70 tons per year. He forwarded it principa ly to Leeds, Bi ad. ford, and Halifax. It cost him 31. to take a ton to Halifax, Bradford, or Leeds. By the railway, he considered it would go by Wakefield to the places named, and would cost 2d. per mile per ton. That would make altogether for 109 miles, the distance to Wakefield, 18s, 2sl. That would effect a saving of about 2/. The further distance to Leeds or Bradford was but trifling, so that the carriage would be but little inCrea , (ii. This witness was cross-examined at Baffle length without shak ing his evidence in ar.iy material point. Group I)D. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY BRANCHES TO CAMPSIE, &c. The Committee re-at;embled at the usual this morning, and immediately proceeded with the Bills before them. - The first business transacted was the passing of Vie clauses of the Campsie bronchi*, all of which were oppr(Ned of, with the exception of clauses 13 and 14, which related to the comniu,tica. lion to be made to ttnt corporation of Linlithgow in respect of customs, and, also how compensation was to be estimated for injury done to their revenue. Mr. WHATSLY appeared for the Provost and borough of Lin. lithgow, to oppose these clauses. He said the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company had deprived the Corporation cf their rights, Power had been given to the town council to se tle by arbitration with the Railway Company the arranger• ent of the dues accruing to the council from the construction of the tine over the Avon ; but the Committee of the Railway Company would not listen to any advances that had been tnaee. The right to these dues had been vested in the town council of Linlithgow from time immemorial. The attempted intronuction of clauses 13 and 14 was a most extraordinary endeavour to rio. late the provisions of an Act of Parliament ; for in ciefimice of the Act the company had never paid any dues to the Town Council. An action had been brought in September, 1844, against the coin. pany by the borough of Linlithgow for the recovery of their dues, with arrears, and the Lord Ordinary had pronounced an in terlocutory order in favour of the Town Council. To this decision the railway company demurred, and an appeal action was now pending. The Learned Counsel contended that the clauses he had referred to would have the effect of entirely destroying the rights which had accrued on the railway being made. He there lore trusted that the Committee wculd not allow them to stand part of the Bill, or that they st ould be so amended as to suit the views of the town-counci , of Linlithgow. Group Q Tho Committee appointed to take into con-idera ion the meras of the different lines of railway comprised in this group met a,tai.. to-day at twelve o'clock The Committee was compost dOl Mr. Sotherton, Chairman, Lord Duncan, Sir T. Colebrooke, Mr. B. Escott, and Mr. P. Pusey. The projects comprised in this group are the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Railway, the Cheshire and Shrop,hire Railway, tne Chester and Holyheau Railway (Mold Branch), Bangor and North 5% ales Railway, Bangor and Caruarvon Railway, and the North Wales Mineral Railway. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY (MOLD BRANCH). The first point tak,n into consideration to day was an applica tion made yesterday by Mr. Robinson , os. behalf of the promoters, for an order from the Committee to compel the production of certain books belonging to the Birkenhead and Chester Company, to which application an objection had been made on behalf of that Company by Mr. Calvert, on the ground that the Committee had no power to enterta.n a motion of that kind, it Leing solely within the pro % ince of a court of equity to make such an order. The room was cleared for the consideration of this point, and on our readmission The CiIAIRNIAN said that the Committee had no objection to bear evidence in the ordinary way, but they were not at present prepared to apply to the House to compel the production of such books and evidence as had been referred to. (The Committee was left Sitting.) Group B. The Committee re-assembled at 12 o'clock this morning, and proceeded with the evidence in the ease of the WEST YORKSHIRE LINES. Mr. James Hibber, a carrier on the Leo. and Liverpool Canal gave evidence in favour of the line. . _ Mr. Thomas Halfurd, of Moreton, in the Valley of Ayre, and several other witness, gate concurrent testimony. Mr. William Craven, a solicitor of Ilaiifax, proved that the re.. tions in favour of :he Nest YorkstAre lines, were signeA by the majority of the electors anti influential per,ons reatitstit in the district through which the hues w,t11.1 pass.

(Byline the VICE-CEIANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) BOHN V. I,OIIN—JUDONIENT. His HONOUR gave judgment to.day in this ease, which wee argued btfore the Court a short time since upon petition. 'rtt question in the case related to the property of the late Mr. Bohn the eminent bookseller in Henrietta.street, Covent garden. The tistator, upon whose will the suit was founded, gave 5,0001 ti trustees for the benefit of one of his daughters; he also gave the like sum of 5,0001. for the benefit of another; and then h gave the residue of his personal estate equally between all his seven mil dren, and he appointed Mr. Henri George Bohn and another per. son his executors. Some disputes arose, in consequence of whirl a ti►► was filed, and a decree Marie, by which, among other thing, (there being a valuable stock of books belongiug to the testator in the house in Henrietta.street), it was directtel that the testatir's house and shop in Henrittta-street, Coveut.ga den, with the good.wit of his trade of a book•eller, and also his books, should be soft with the approbation of the Master. Certain proceedings tool place in the Master's Office, and the Master ultimately di rected that four auctioneers should be employed to sell the books. Mr. Sotheby was to sell the theological works t, an amount not exceeding 6,0001. in value; Mr. Evans was to sell the rate books not exceeding 2,0001. in value ; Mr. Hodgson, the quire stock and miscellaneous works of Mr. M Cul. loch's library, not exceeding 1,000/. in value; and Mr. Fletche, was to sell the residue. It was shown that in the month of August in the last year, notice was given to Mr. Hodgson, by which it st,:. peered that the rtcognisanees which he had to enter into were ad mitted to be executed by himself and his sureties, but on the 4th of November a notice was sent to . hina that though the recognisancr.s had been execute", still the Master had not made his report, alio therefore he was not finally appointed the auctioneer to sell a por tion of the testator's books. On the same day Mr. Henry George Bohn, who seems to have had the gi nem' dominion over the place in which the books were deposited, concurred with Mr. Hodgson in removing part of the stock, which it was intended Mr. Hodgson should sell, and on the litth of November there was a further removal; and that led to the filing of a supplemental bill, and upon an application to the Court for the purpose an in. junction was granted, restraining the removal of the books, and it was referred to the Master to appoint a proper person to receive and take charge of the hooks until the sale or further order of the Court The Master appointed, on the Bth of February, in the present year, a Mr. Alexander Perry to be the receiver, and on the 17th, letter was written by Messrs. Maberley anti Sons. the solicitors for the plaintiff, to Mr. Hodgson, giving him notice that Mr. Perry was appointed to the office of keeper of the books, and stating at the sato, time that Mr. Perry had that morning called upon then, and stated that lie had seen Mr. Hodgson; that he had informed him of his appointment, and requested him to de. liver back the books to Henrietta.strett; but as Mr. Hodgson requested that all applications might Le made m writing, the Missals. Inalierley, , as the solicitors of the piaintitl: and also on behalf:el Mr. Perry, authorised Mr. Hodgson to give up the looks into the custody of Mr. Perry. Several communications took place between the value., Metsra. Ma berly and Son insisting that Mr. Henry George Bohn was teet.elson who ought to remove the books to Henrietta.street, Mr. Henry George Bohr' contending that, as Mr. Perry was appointed the receiver, he was the party who ought to remove and take charge or the books. A Per seine further correspondence anti proc,edings, t i tle present petition was presented, praying that Mr. Henry George Bohn should be directed forthwith, at his own expense, to deliver over to Mr. Pet ry the books in question. Now it appeared to his Hour ur, whatever might be. crone of the final question about the expense of removal, that as the matter now stood, Mt. Henry George Bohn hid no autnerity whatever to tou.h a book. He was not the person to remove titian from the custody of Mr. Hodgson ; but if Mr. Hodgson, upon a proper application being made to him ter that purpose refused to deliver them up, then an application to the Court might become necessary. The sole dry question Letore the Court was, whether Henry George Bohn could be caller, upon to interfere it the deft very of the books. Tie Jew must-have his bow and as Messrs. Maberly and Sons hailstrictly upon the utioest ex:reroity, o. the dry legal ,ight, it was but lair that that which they had sotli,en to get,ahouto be meted Out to them. ilia Honour thought (kit Messrs. Maberly and Sons had been. ail along led by a false scent. They thought that they could mix up with the question of the removal of the books at %these expense that stiou d be done._ The Court's opinion upon the whole the re. fore was, that the pLtition was totally unnecessary, anti most be dismissed with costs. THE WATERMEN'S COMPANY V. TOE LORD MAYOR, AND OTHERS.-.. CAVELLE V. OIABL Mr. PRIOR applied in the course en the morning, ex parte, on behalf of the plaintiff, the representa , ive of the \Vinci men's Com-, pany for an injunction to restrain the Lord Mayor, and the autho rities of the City of London, flout removing certain barges placed in the river at Greenwich by the Watermen's Compan: , for the purpose of forming a landing-piece for their passe4ers, instead of their going to the old 'der. The Learned Counsel read several aftidaeits in support of his application, from which it appeared that it was intended to remove the barges this day. The Vicc.CIIANCELLOI I said the question with him was, whether he should grant the ink action %%about notice. if he )1:col. lected rightly, the present Lord. Mayor, upon being insialied into (Alice, in November last, had stated has intention to order these barges to be removed. The patties therefore ought to have come to the Court earlier, and what had been said in the affidavits about licensing certainly implied that the Lord Mayor had jurisdiction. On the whole, his Honour thought he should not be justified in granting the injunction cx parte. Mr. PRIOR trusted the Court would allow his client to give short notice.: The yrcE.CHANcELLOrt—Oh, certainly ; but then you, must I',a it two. act:7s; hr sib!e Ilts Honour, we believe, atidal to Knight Druce, who did not lilt W1..0 O'CIOCk• (Be , .Ure the Vice-Chancellor VCR-: 1191 . 1outt sat at one o'clock, and he ard bank.llPt PC4'W2II- of no general interM.
