HOUSE OF LORDS, July 22. The Lord Chancellor and other Peers formed a House at half-past three o'cicck for the second reading of this Bill. Mr. TALBOT stated the petitioner's case, and from his statement and the evidence it appeared that the pe titioner, Henry Boddington Webster, is nephew of the late Sir Godfrey Webster and son of the late Sir Henry Webster. The lady whom he mar ried was marrie.d twice before, first to a gentle man, named Mellish, who lived in India, and, after his death, leaving two children by her, she married the late Arthur Fitzroy Somerset, who was killed in battle in India in 1844. She had no child by him. She came afterwards to England with her children by Mr. Mellish, and, being a lady of great attraction, she won the affections of the petitioner. They were married at the English Embassy in Paris, in March, 1850. Lady Webster was present at the mar riage. The petitioner was then about the age of 24 years. The lady must have been above 30, but no one would take her to be of that age. Her daughter by Mr. Mel lish was then between eight and nine years. They first went to St. Germans to reside, but soon came to England and resided with Lady Webster at her house at Roehampton. The ladies did not agree, and the result was that Lady Webster settled 2,0001. a year on the petitioner, and he and his wife deter mined to spend the winter and spring on a cruise in the Mediterranean. He became possessed of a yacht, and it was arranged that he and his wife, and her daughter and governess, and lady's maid and valet, and other servants, should embark in September, 1850. They were accompanied by Mr. Adolphus Graves and Mr. Frederick Bassett Wingfield, intimate friends of the petitioner, and also of Lady Webster. They pro ceeded first to Gibraltar, thence to Malaga, Port Ma hon, Algiers, and Naples. Mr. Graves left them at Malaga ; but unfortunately Mr. Wingfield continued with them, and became the author of the mis chief that afterwards happened. Certain freedom of manner wa ; observed to grow up between him and Mrs. Webster at Port Mahon, and a corresponding coldness was noticed towards her husband. Instead ot being the affectionate and good-tempered wife that she had been in England and France, she became harsh and repulsive, and at lest refused to admit her husband to her sleeping cabin. That was situated near the maid's cabin, re mote from Mr. Webster's cabin, but accessible to that which was occupied by Mr. Wingfield. Whilst at Port Mahon, during Mr. Webster's absence from the yacht, on two several occasions, his wife having feigned illness, so as not to be able to accompany him to the opera, there could be no doubt that acts of adultery were com mitted by her with Mr. Wingfield. Mr. Webster had not then any suspicion of such intimacy, although he more than once remonstrated with the lady on her coldness to himself. On coming to Naples the lady's maid and the valet observed such conduct as left no doubt of the adultery having been frequently committed. They informed Mr. Webster of wharf they had seen, and on the 6th of January, 1851, having reached Naples on the sth, he went ashore, and, after consulting such friends as he met, Mr. Temple, the Bri tish Minister, among others, he, by their advice, returned to the yacht, and gave directions that Mr. Wingfield should leave. He dial leave; and after that Mr. Webster Bent Mrs. Webster on shore, providing suitable mainte nance for her. From that time Mr. Webster has not seen the lady. Mr. Wingfield has not since visited Eng land, so that it was impossible to bring an action against him, but proceedings wore fo rthwith taken in Doc tors' Commons and a divorce a mensa, &c., has been obtained there on the 3d of the present month. The marriage was prov ed to have bee n p erf ormed in Paris on the lith of March, 1850. What the lady's ag e or mai den name were di d not appear.

A very interesting and exciting case was tried yes terday before Judge Larue, of the First District Court. The plaintiff in the case was Mrs. Wilhelmina Fabler, who petitioned the Court for a writ of habeas corpus against Mrs. Josephine Dewey, to require her to pro duce in court the body of a certain infant child, named Augusta Wilhelmina, aged twelve months, whose lawful protector and custodian she claimed •to be, by virtue of the following facts:—When the said child was about two months old, it was left at the door of a house in Rampart-street, adjacent to the residence of Mrs. Fabler, who, at the request of some persons, undertook its charge, and faithfully performed her duties, until about seven months ago, when, having to go to Ilavannab, she left the child in charge of ' another person, who delivered it over to the father of the corporation, our worthy mayor, by whom it was delivered to Mrs. Dewey, who now refuses to surrender it. Mrs. Dewey, in answer to the writ, produced the child in court, but contended that she had the nine points of the law in her favour—to wit possession—that she had taken good care of the infant, and would continue to do so ; she therefore resisted the pretensions of Mrs. Fabler. The little unconscious infant lay in the lap of Mrs. Dewey during the argument of the case, and amused itself by crowing, and cutting other infantile capers, very much to the delight of its assumed parent, the annoyance of the sheriff, and somewhat to the discomfiture of the learned lawyers in the case, whose grave expositions were interrupted in rather an undignified manner by what old Horace called the vagitus infantum. The testimony, which was to the foregoing purport, satisfied Judge Larne that neither claimant had a natural right to the child. For this reason he did not consider the rule laid down by Judge Solomon in a celebrated case, re ported in the books of the judges, as a proper one for this case. His honour the mayor having waved all claim to the property in dispute, the contest was between two ladies, whose characters did not satisfy Judge Larue that they were either of them very sate depositories and guardians of a little.) tender blossom of womanhood. So, after hearing both parties, and looking very expressively at the little round-faced, bright-eyed, chubby-cheeked cherub, the Judge pro ceeded to render a decision. The Judge said he did not, consider it would be safe to leave the child with either claimant, and as it was the duty of courts to pro tect the unfortunate and helpless, ho should direct the child to be sent to the Camp -street Asylum, where, un der the care of those noble matrons, the Sisters of Cha rity, it would be properly taken care of, and reared up in virtue and usefulness. He therefore ordered that the child should bo taken by the sheriff and delivered over to the Orphan asylum, and the entrance fee he would pay him self. The fat, jolly deputy sheriff then advanced to Mrs. Downy, who with a loud outburst of sorrow and lamen tation delivered the child into the outstretched arms of the officer, whereupon the little Wihelneina, in spite of the very amiable and fascinating look assumed by the sheriff for the occasion, raised a most vigorous outcry, which rang through* the court buildi ngs , to t h e great alarm of many anxious papas who were t h ere assem b led. At the same time Mrs. Fabler, the plaintiff in the habeas corpus, also josued in the general cry, and thase three voices, together with the urgent expostulations in basso of the sheriff, made as effective a quartet as wo have heard for a long time. Finally, how ever, the little one was borne off in triumph by the deputy sheriff, and is, no doubt, whilst we now write, sleeping sweetly and innocently in a neat clean little cradle, -,faithfully watched by those tenderest of all parents—those Sisters of Charity, virtue, and philan thropy, who devote their lives and affections to the pro tection and nurture of the children of misfortune.—New Orelans Delta.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—A prevailing impression that the monetary difficulties which beset many of the im porters of cotton, will still cause a pressure upon the Liver pool market, before which a further giving way in prices must take place, has exercised an unfavourable influence upon our market to-day, cau s i ng a d egree o f hesi tation about giving orders, on the one hand, and, on the other, a wavering, on the part of sellers, as to quo tations, for various articles, from which they would not recede last week. In India goods, and in mule yarns, particularly such as are suitable for the East, as well as in cops, there is so much of an unfavourable turn as that many producers, who had previously de clined offers accepted by others, have now yielded to those terms ; and, in this way, a moderate amount of business has been effected. This statement ap plies only partially to water twist adapted to the Ger man trade, in which department there is much more firmness, as there is less stock, than in the mule yarns just referred to. Low counts of bundle, spinnings for the Mediterranean, and warps up to No. 24, continue in good demand, are generally scarce, and firm at the previous rates ; as are also, in the main, good domestics, T's, and long cloths. There is more call for 36-inch cloths, and they, with ith printers, remain steady in value. in regard to 40-inch shirtings, there was a statement in our last respecting offers made, and in some instances accepted, which would not have appeared had the usual writer been at home, as it was only applicable to ono or two exceptional trans actions, in which, perhaps, the quality of the material might form a consideration. Two considerable failures are announced at Liverpool in connexion with cotton, viz., Mr. George Wright (brother to Mr. William P. Wright, cotton broker, of New York), whose liabilities are variously stated at 30,000/. to 60,000/.; and T. W. Stock, in, it is said, a much larger amount. The latter is in the glass trade, but has made speculative ven tures in cotton as well as in other articles of produce. There are rumours of other stoppages from the same C a use; and the consequence is that much anxiety pre vails amongst our neighbours. These rumours receive countenance from some forced sales which aro being made at e xtreme l y l ow rates . O ne or two other failures at Liverpool are spoken of, arising, it is stated, from losses by other descriptions of produce. hOCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a morn promis ing market to-day, and the merchants have purchased rather more freely, at prices much the same as those of the preceding week. Low priced English wools are in good demand and scarce, and t h ose of a f i ner bo purcb :sed upon rather eas i er terms. quality can MACCLESFIELD, T U ESDAY, -- Our manufactured goods trade continues in the same position as that of last week; Naples* .. • • • • N Papal States* ..

ON.—A 'cute Yankee has invented a nest, in the bottom of which there is a kind of trap-door, through which the egg, when laid, immediately drops; and the hen looking round and perceiving none, soon lays another! THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The unfavourable state of the weather yesterday sent the receipts at the doors of the Crystal Palace down to 2,438'. 145., the number of visitors being only 50,599. Every day is now marked by two features, not the least striking in the singular diurnal history of the Ex hibition, and to which from time to time we have called attention. The first of these is the continued and steady influx of charity and other schools within and around London, for the most part promoted by private and even individual benevolence. Nothing can be more gratifying than to meet so frequently amid the swelling tide of grown-up spectators bands of young children moving along, and as they go giving vent to many au exclamation of juvenile wonder. There are now half a dozen of these schools present in the building every day, and the only regret one feels with regard to them is that amid the bustle and pressure of so many thousand people their opportunity for seeing well ,a sight so instructive is necessarily much cur tailed. The other point to which we have alluded is hardly less interesting, and receives an apt illus tration in the fact that 150 of the Doke of Northum berland's people visited the Exhibition yesterday, having travelled all the way from Alnwick for that pur pose. The great landowners are sending up their agri cultural labourers, and the great manufacturers their men, fully impressed with the moral and intellectual influ ence which a spectacle such as that of the Crystal Palace is likely to exercise on them. Even the adult poor of our metropolitan parishes are not forgotten, and, through the liberality of some wealthy neighbour, many of them are allowed to see the World's Fair. As for domestic servants, masters must be extremely induleent to them from the numbers of that class that are daily seen in the Exhibition. This is all as it should be, and shows a large amount of practical sympathy and good feeling between the different ranks of society, between rich and poor, gentle and simple. Yet one important considera tion remains, and the period is near at hand when it must be closely and anxiously considered. The vast majority of those who visit the Crystal Palace is still the middle class. The place is unmistakeably in their possession as yet, and has (speaking comparatively) hardly been touched by the humbler orders. It is quite ascertained now that the labouring man cannot afford to go there, as he of course would wish to go, taking his wife and family along with him. Strange, therefore, as it may seem, a very large proportion of the population of the metropolis has not yet been able to see the Exhibition, and will in all probability never be able to do so unless something is done to bring the price of admission down nearer to their means. Such, even in this wealthy city, is the power of one shilling. As to the tear that a further reduction of price would be dangerous to the property in the building, or to the good order and kindly, honest, peaceable spirit of those who flock there, we publish a document which throws a curious light upon this subject, and which will be read with much interest. It is a return of things found in the Crystal Palace, which was delivered over to the custody of the police between the Ist of May and the Ist of this month, and were at that last date still unclaimed by their owners:— "271 handkerchiefs, 65 bracelets, 183 brooches, 118 parasols, 77 shawl pins, 4 bonnet shades, 14 silk um brellas and 9 cotton, 46 veils and falls, 2 shirt studs, 57 catalogues and other books, 35 bunches of keys, 44 neck ties, 1 pair of goloshes, 8 lockets, 3 campstools, 16 vie ‘o sines, 1 pair of slippers. 10 ladies' cuffs, 1 pendulum, 2 coats, 3 card cases, 15 breguet and other chains, 3 knives, 3 pincushions, 28 pair of gloves, 25 walking sticks, 10 pair of spectacles, 12 eyeglasses, 16 pencil cases, 3 umbrella cases, 4 rings. 3 tans, 1 silver watch and guard, 1 operaglass, 2 toothpicks, 1 thimble, 30 red cules and baskets, 14 shawls, 2 boxes, 1 petticoat, 2 car penters' rules, I Prussian 5 dollar note, 3 scent bottles, 1 purse 6d., ditto Is., 1 ditto 2s. 7d.. 1 ditto 2s. 6d., 1 ditto Si. 9s. 4d., 1 ditto 6d., 1 ditto 1 Id., 1 ditto 6s. 3d., 3 empty ditto, cash found, 21. 103. OP." This miscellaneous list, it is amusing to observe, shows that the weaker sex arc much more care less of their property than men, for it will be seen that the greater number of articles enumerated are female paraphernalia. The list only gives those things that remained unclaimed on the Ist of July; and, in order to estimate the total findings, it would be necessary to increase the quantity stated by about one-third, for that is nearly the proportion in which the owners have come forward. At present Mr. Pearce, the indefatigable superintendent of police at the Exhi bition, has a stock of ladies' handkerchiefs, parasols, eyeglasses, jewellery, &c., on hand that would furnish .forth a respectably sized pawnbroker's shop ; and if these miscellaneous stores go on accumulating. it will be difficult to preserve to the station at the Prince of Wales's gate anything like an official appearance. As it is, ladies may be seen there examining with sharp in spection piles of materials for some missing parasol or reticule, and constantly have those in authority to re mind them of the sintulness of that practice by which on a wet day, when a person misses his own umbrella, or on the night of a ball when one can't find his hat, he unhe sitatingly takes possession of the next best hat or um brella ho can lay his hands on. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Commander Thomas Mitchell. (1842) has been ap pointed to the Persian, 12, in the West Indies, vice Bulman, invalided. Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott proceeded with the gentlemen from the Pay-office to Spithead, to pay the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, six months in advance, yesterday morning. The Hotspur, East Indiaman, arrived at Portsmouth, from the River, outward bound, yesterday morning. She is a splendid frigate-built ship, and it is her first voyage. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 23.—A serious accident occurred at four o'clock this afternoon on board her Majesty's screw-frigate Dauntless, 24, Captain Halsted, refitting in the harbour, by which a man named Nicholas White, boatswain's mate, was suddenly deprived of life. The deceased was superintending the discharge of the iron water tanks from the hold to the jetty of the dock, when, by some means unexplained, one of the tanks broke from the slings and fell upon his back crushing him down upon the hammock nettings. He was in stantly removed to the surgery of the dockyard, where the promptest attention was rendered by the medical staff, but life was extinct. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, JULY 23.—Captaia Edward St. L. Can non (1846), to command the Centaur, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, of 540 horse-power, commissioned this day at Portsmouth to serve as the flag-ship of Rear-Ad miral William Willmott Henderson, C. 8., ap pointed Commander-in-Chief on the south-east coast of America station, in the room of Rear-Admiral Bar rington Reynolds, C. 8., whose period of service in the Southampton, 50, his flag-ship, has now expired, and that vessel ordered home to be paid off.

BIRMINGHAM, JULY 23. STOCK EXCHANGE.—There is little new of any importance to be reported with respect to the proceedings on our Stock Exchange to-day. The Railway Share Market continues quiet, buyers and sellers being equally scarce. The brokers, who generally are less engaged in speculative transactions than those of busier marts, maintain a placi I but far from sa tisfactory reserve. There were sales in private, but no transactions in railway s t oc k were re p o rted on 'Change. Quotations generally were in advance of those yesterday. . . Ad iunnense water-spout was ob.erved a tew ago to the north-east of Barnsley, which sucked up a great portion of the water out of iliendley Dam. HOP INTELLIGENCE. The Maidstone Gazette of Tuesday give us the latest information regarding the hops. We subjoin our con temporary's account trom a few of the more important localities. The reports from other places represent the vermin as still destroying the weak shoots of the bine, and the plantations on the whole seom hardly to warrant the expectation of even a moderate crop. MAIDSTONE.-The heavy storm of Friday afternoon, whilst it cut some grounds severely, and levelled some poles in exposed situations, has also cleared most grounds of a considerable portion of the insect vermin with which they were infested. The heavy rain, too, has freshened the bine and improved the soil, and if kindly weather ensue, although some grounds aro still in a very precarious state, in others there is a probability of some hops being sown. CANTERBURY.—It was hoped that the showery wea ther would prove highly beneficial in clearing off the vermin. It is true that a considerable quantity has been swept away; but still, with the midsummer shoots not growing out well—a great quantity of the bino turn ing black—and where the bine is short, vermin and fire blast having entirely stopped the growing, the hops on the whole are decidedly in a worse state. These appear ances induce the conjecture that the duty will not ex ceed 70,000/. PEDESTRIANISM. WESTHALL AND SrooNEtt's TEN-MILE MATCH FOR 251. 1-EILDE.—Many hundreds of persons assembled on Tuesday,•in the enclosed grounds adjoining Copenhagen House, to witness the walking-match between the cele brated Charles Westhall and young Spooner, whose re cent public appearances have raised hi m t o th e fore most rank of pedestrians. The betting was 7 to 4, and iu many cases 2 to 1 on Westhall, a position which his wonderful performances and self-confidence ap peared to justify. The ground being measured, it was found to be 586 yards, and thrice round to fall a couple of yards short of the mile. This circuit, therefore, walked over thirty times, with addition of a score of yards fur the finish, would give the prescribed dis tanee. At twenty-five minutes to six the men were at the scratch, Westhall looking rather stouter than we could wish, and, in comp ar i son , a giant to his opponent, who is a smart, well p u t t oge th er - little man, of about 81st. They went off at a tremendous pace, and wer together for about a hundred yards. SpoOner then drew away, and kept two or three yards in front ; at the close of the mile he went yet further ahead, being nearly forty yards in front. His first mile was walked in seven minutes and a half, a rare pace to begin a ten-mile match at. The seven miles were covered in fifty-seven minutes and a half, or rather under. The distance between the men was now much increased. It was asserted that Spooner had walked unfairly, and that he had refused to turn when called on to do so. At the ninth mile it was clear that Spooner m ust be in first, he was almost a quarter of a mile in adva nce, and appeared as if he could hare overlapped hi s man b y a little extra exertion. In the tenth mile Westhall stopped, about 400 yards from home, Spooner being then in, but at the advice of his friends he walked another complete circuit of the ground, to prevent cavil as to distance. The time of the nine miles was In. 13min. 30secs. Mr. G . arratt, the proprietor of the grounds, who held a considerable a mount of bets, received a notice from some parties not to give up what they alleged to be their money, on th e g round that Spooner had walked unfairly, and refused to attend to the directions of the appointed officials. Of course he withheld them for the present, but will hand them over on Monday next, after the decision of the referee is given to the stakeholder, and the stakes duly awarded.

The weight of one was computed at 50,0001 b., double the weight of the boll at Erfurth, said to be the largest • In the world. But in the bolfry of St. Ivan's Church, at Moscow is . one weighing 127,0001 b., and it was surpassed by one cast at the expense of the Empress Anne, we i g hing . 430,0001 b. This i s , undoubtedly, the largest bell in the world. The tradition is that the beam on which it hung was acci dentally burned; but this is denied. The Russians might as well attempt to suspend a first-rate man-of-war with all her guns and stores. It is 67 feet in circumference, and more than 21 feet high. Its real history is this : — A fire took place in the Kremlin, the flames of which caught the building erected over the pit in which the bell still remained after having been cast. In conse quence of this the metal became hot, and the water thrown on the building to extinguish the flames fell upon the bell, causing a fracture near the bottom, suffi ciently large to admit two persons almost without stoop ing. In value it is about 67,0001., and it has been for more than a century in its present position. The largest bells of England are those of Christ Church, Oxford, weighing 17,0001 b. ; St. Paul's, London, 11,473 1 b.; and Great Tom of Lincoln, 10,8541 b. We may add to this outline of casting in brass and bronze one fact relative to the neee,3sity of great caution. Towards the end of the 17th century there was a feuedry at Moorfields, and in 1716 the cannon taken by the Duke of Marlborough from the French was about to be recast there, and attracted a great number of visitors and strangers, including one Scalch, a Swiss fouedi-r. He observed that the moulds were not sufficiently dry, and communicated the fact to the principals of the de partment; but, piqued at being dic.ated to by a foreigner, they treated his warning with contempt:.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT MEASURE. Yest , rday, this Committee re-assembled at the usual hour, Sir James Gruharn in the chair ; present, Sir J. flantner, Mr. Beckett. Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Sanders. The Right Hon. CHAIRMAN, addressing the various parties, said—l have b-eu directed by the Committee to make a communication to counsil on all sides before us. 1 hope that we have shown every disposition to hear every thing that could be brought before the Committee with diligence and with patience, but we have now ar rived at a period of the session when it is necessary to call your attention to the short residue of time that still can be given to this important inquiry. The Ap propriation Bill is intraduce.d, and has been read a se cond time this day. It is clear, therefore, that we aro within a fortniget of the termination of the session, andl there cannot consequently remain above seven sitting: days to devote to the further progress of this inquiry. What has also traaspired in the House of Commons is notorious, and renders it plain that the promoters of this Bill no longer urge with any pertinacity the proof of the preamble which is now before us ; and, indeed, as the inquiry now stands, we are in the midst of the case on the part of the opponents of the Bill. We have not heard the entire case of the opponents, but we have heard the entire case of the promoters, and it would only remain for us to hear a speech—no doubt an able speech —on the part of the promoters of the Bill, in reply upon the whole case; but I believe I speak the unanimous opinion of the Committee, that, as the ease now stands, we shall not be prepared to declare the preamble of this Bill proved. If we do not proceed to consider the pre amble of this Bill till we have finished that inquiry, much less can we proceed to consider the preambles of the other Bills before us. Therefore, as relates to the proofs of the preambles, it may be considered that the preambles of the Bills now before us are disposed of; but at the 'same time I have reason to think that the House would expect that the evidence taken before us, even as it now stands, should be laid before them, and perhaps also the House will call upon us to give some opinion upon the evidence as it now stands. We are perfectly willing to sit to the close of the next week, and I wish to call the attention of counsel for the dif ferent water companies to this state of facts, that it may be very desirable with justice to their case that some portions of the evidence affecting their manage ment of the water supply of London should be rebutted by the evidence now to be adduced by them before the evidence shall be finally laid before the House. Now, during yesterday and the previous days, we have gone at large into the management of the water supply in Scotland under municipal administration. Yesterday we also went into the case of Worcester, and to-day we are to go into that of Southampton. I am directed by the Committee to point out to counsel for the water com panies that it might be expedient to direct the residue of the time we can give to the inquiry more specifically to tho past management of the London supply in the hands of the water companies. 01 course this communication I was only directed to make a few minutes ago, and it may take the water companies for to-day more or less by surprise. We shall be perfectly willing to-day to pursue the Southampton case it it should be thought ex pedient, but perhaps this evening counsel for the water companies will consider the statement I have made, and direct our inquiries after to-day to those points they think most pressing for the purpose of presenting their case to the House and to the public in a manner which they may think the equity and interests of the parties demand. Mr. Sergeant WEANGHAM (as representing the water companies) said he was sure the Committee would not expect that any of those who appeared as counsel for the water cAnpanies should say more upon a communi cation of the importance of that which had been made to them, and the Committee would neurally anticipate that the disposition of those he represented would be carried out on the grounds suggested by the Hon. Chair man, and in a way that would occupy the remainder of the time in a manner that would be most conducive to the interests of all, so as to arrive at a satisfactory-con clusion. He trusted, however, that the Committee and the public would bear in mind, that if they were obliged very much to contract their evidence, it would not be for want of matter, but for want of time. Mr. JAMES, QC. ' as Counsel for the Government Bill, said, on the part of those for whom he had the honour to appear, and' in deference to the suggestion of the Committee, they would be prepared to apply themselves to the inquiry rather with the view to investigation than to the advocacy of a particular measure. They did teal and certainly had conducted the inquiry with a view to the supply and management of the water of the metro polis, so as to elicit from the witnesses a great deal of material, which would be essential, as they thought, to the advocacy of the Bill they represented. Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., for the companies, entirely eon.. curred in the view stated by Sergeant Wrangham, but imputations had been cast on some of the companies which they wished to have full opportunity to rebut. The CHAIRMAN—It is our object to afford such an apportunity. We have only, however, a limited time, and we wish counsel for the companies to distribute it among themselves in such a manner as they may think most just to the interests involved. Mr. KEATING, Q.C., inquired whether, in giving their opinion upon the evidence already before them, the Conl mitten would also report on that part of the case which ex necessitate and owing to the interposition of the Com mittee, the companies might be unable to continue or contradict. The CHAIRMAN had endeavoured to state, without reserve, the exact position in which they were placed. The Committee were the servants of the House, but as yet they had no authority from the House to lay even the evidence before them, much less had they been called on to present an opinion to the House ; but he thought it right to mention to counsel representing the water companies, that he thought it possible an order to ler the evidence before the House would be given, and it was not impossible that the Committee might be called upon to report their opinion on the evidence as it stood. He did not know that it would be so, but be thought it right.to prepare the parties for that possibility. Mr. KEATING said it was to be hoped in that event, the necessity that imposed upon them the curtailment of their evidence would be taken into consideration. The CHAIRMAN had endeavoured, in obedience to the wish of the Committee, to give timely warning as to what might be impending, The Committee were occupied, up to their adj ono"' ment at four o'clock, with evidence on the water siiipplY of Southampton.
