or the convenience of carrying on the traffic in a manner consistent with the interests of the three companies. " A correspondence has been recently published, from which it will been seen that the London and North-Wes tern Company still avow their intention to continue a course of determined resistance to agreements made by this company with the two Shrewsbury companies for the interchange of traffic in the north ; while they expect the directors of the Great Western Company, separately from their allies, to entertain proposals for being bound under penalties never to charge lower rates to the public than the London and North-Western and Midland Companies, without any compensating benefit to the proprietors of this company, so long as th e y succeed in obstructing the corresponding free transit of passengers and goods over the Great Western and Shrewsbury lines. " This board meat deliberately decline to conclude any agreement oft hat eliaracter, which is subversive of the en gagements into which they have entered with the Shrews bury companies and the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees, under the existing relations with those parties. "It would be a source of much pleasure to terminate conclusively all differences by an agreement upon condi tions which can be enforced upon all the companies af fected by them ; but nothing would be more fatal to the prospects of this company than to incur an obligation which may be used against themselves, of maintaining rates while the contest between the two companies is still to be carried on, as threatened in Mr. Stewart's letter of the sth of August. "The determination of the directors has been commu nicated to the London and North-Western board, in a re ply from the secretary, dated the 15th inst., to that letter. " Your directors consider it to be the most expedient course, under all the circumstances, to do everything in their power to cement and strengthen their alliance with the two Shrewsbury companies : and it will only be in the unexpected event of failing to accomplish that purpose they will be prepared with an alternative plan to obtain other direct means for opening a route towards the north, independent of the London and North-Western Company. " The Plymouth Docks, adapted to steamers of consi derable size, are progressing favourably, and will afford great accommodation for colonial and foreign trade at that port. " Milford-haven, at the terminus of the South Wales Railway, is certain also to become a most important posi tion for the largest ciass of ocean steamers, which can there find ample space for every purpose, in deep water at all times of tide, with the peculiar advantage of obtaining their fuel, at very low prices, direct from the steam coal fields in South Wales. 4, Th e Eastern Steam Navigation Company, and the Australian Direct Steam Navigation Company, via -Pan ama, both having obtained their charters, have fixed upon Milford-haven as their permanent harbour and station for their business. " By the Great Western act of the present session autho rity has been obtained to convert the debenture bonds or debt into a mortgage stock, or mortgage perpetual an nuities. The interest shall in no case exceed 4 per cent. per annum on such securities." The report of Mr. Brunel, the engineer, stated that— " The works for the intended junction with the London and North-Western Railway at . Birmingham have been completed ; and so soon as the rails and crossings have been laid by that company, and which I have applied to their engineer to do, the junction may be effected. " The extension through Birmingham by the Birming ham, Wolverhampton , and Dudley Railway to Wolver hampton is progressing rapidly, and preparations are made for laying,_down the permanent way. " The Uxbridge branch is in a forward state of construc tion. All the principal works of the Wycombe Railway are completed, which, although not constructed by the G rea t Western Company, will be worked by them, and practically become part of the undertaking. The stations " are in a forward state, and the permanent way is being laid. "Preparations are made for commencing immediately the Henley branch as well as a connexion with the North and South-Western Junction Railway, near Acton, for which power haS just been obtained from Parliament. " The Cornwall Railway, and the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester Railway, in which this company are interested, are proceeding very satisfactorily." The statement of accounts appeared in The Sun of INtonday. The CHAIRMAN moved that the report of the directors be received and adopted, and circulated among the pro- prietors. The Rev. F. NICHOLSON seconded the motion. He now. entirely agreed with the directors as to the impos sibility of making peace with the London and North- Western Company, and he was ready to offer them any support in the course they took with the London and North-Western Company. Mr. H. DALLOWAY said, in the statement of the ex penditure of the past half-year no mention was made of the legal expenditure. He moved—" That this meeting at its rising do adjourn to the third Thursday in next month, to meet at the London Tavern, to receive from the directors a statement of the entire Parliamentary and other legal expenses of the past half-year, and to show a corrected statement of the balance in their hands." If they had looked more to the traffic on their main line hey would have been in a better position. (Loud cheers.) Now they were putting forth further extensions, further branches, and new lines—where was it to end ? If they continued their opposition with the London and North- Western Company with respect to the Shrewsbury lines, their traffic in the West of England would be such that the dividend would come to nil. He thought the policy of the company should be materially altered. If it was desirable, they might appoint five proprietors to conduct the negotiation with the London and North-Western Company for a fair and uniform rate of traffic on all their competing lines. The CIAIRDIAN quite agreed that it was desirable their differences with the London and North-Western Com pany should be brought to an end ; but the resolution proposed by the hon. proprietor would not conduce to that end. However, if he wished it, he would move it as an amendment. It was no fault of theirs that the legal accounts were not presented on this occasion to the meeting ; they could have no conception how extremely difficult it was to obtain these accounts. Those for the session just closing it was impossible to render, and of those for the preceding half year some only had been delivered. When the Consultation Committee sat they recommended that all their legal accounts should be submitted to a careful revision. Since that time they had invariably placed them in the hands of a gentleman who appeared on their behalf, when Mr. May, the exa miner of the House of Commons, decided on them. He trusted the hon. proprietor would not consider it neces sary to adjourn the meeting, which would be attended with a great deal of inconvenience to many proprietors. Mr. DALLOWAY said, it was a long time for the pro prietors of so many millions of property to wait, till February, before they knew the state of their accounts. If a meeting was held at the London Tavern, it was a central place, where men of business could meet without wasting the whole day going to Paddington or Bristol. After some further discussion the amendment was withdrawn. _ Mr. GILES wished to ask a question of some impor tance with respect to their small parcels. If he got one direct from the Great Western Company, it was charged 3d. or ls., but if through a carrier it cost 3d. There was also an item of 3001. charged for light gold for the half year. In large commercial establishments they did not find anything of the kind. He should also like to know what their coke cost ? Mr. ATKINSON (auditor).-14s. 2d. a-ton. The SECRETARY said, with respect to the loss on light gold, the directors had taken it into their consideration. One gentleman had offered to take it all, but he would not comply with the condition necessary for removing that gold from Paddington to a Welch bank in Wales. With regard to the parcels, if carriers charged 3d. or 4d. it was true they might do the same ; but, instead of re ceiving 8001. a-week, they would receive 2001. a-week. Every inquiry had been made to prevent the frauds practised by carriers on the company, but they could not adopt a better course than they did, and that was, to maintain their incomes by moderating their rates, so as to get the best portable parcel traffic and leave carriers those not requirinc , rapid delivery. Mr. GORE asked if there was any objection to state the cost of the branch from Frome to Weymouth ? The CHAIRMAN—About 600,0001. or 70-0,000/ The report of the directors was then read and adopted, and a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half-year ending the 30th of June last was declared. Resolutions were also passed authorising the directors to proceed with the construction of the Warminster and Salisbury branch i ofthe Wilts, Somerset, and Weyniouth Railway, f or and had been purchased, and also the further expenditure mentioned in the report was sanctioned, the s umsnot to exceed w h a t w as s tated. the The best thank s of meeting were likewis e given to Mr. J. Dickinso n , the auditor who had recently retired, for his long services in that capacity, and also to Mr. R. s ..' e , r t v k i i e n e s s o . n, one of the present auditors, for his continued Mr. DALLow_ty propeoesiet,alse that wh en th e i r meet i ngs tos should b e. g i ven to Lon were held in Bristol, fr don proprietors holding stock the extent of 1,0001. or more. The CHAIRMAN said a large number of the p ropr i etors o lived in Bristol and in the west of tla was a great convenience that meetings should to whom it there. There was a third objection more insurmountable be h e ld at all events at present —the y were bound'Ziub°,lltabl in e hold one of their half-yearly meetings at Bristol by act of Parlia ment. The resolution was lost, there being no seconder. A resolution was passed declaring the forfeitur e of shares for non-payment of calls. The meeting was then made special, and a resolution passed by which, under the provisions of the Great Western Railway Branches Act of 1853, the directors were empowered to convert debentures of an amount not exceeding 4,000,000/. into mortgage stock or notes, and to fix the interest not exceeding the interest speci fied in the act on that stock and notes, and to do any other act to give effect to the same. It was then agreed, that the following correspondence should be taken as read, and that it should be printed for circulation among the proprietors " Great W e stern Railway, London Terminus, • Paddington, Aug. 15, 1853. " Dear Sir,—Your letter to me, dated sth instant, to gether with the resolution of vonr directors, which accom panied it, approving Captain Huish's refusal to meet representatives of the Shrewsbury Companies, when pre sent at the conference here with Mr. Joseph Sanders, of the Midland Railway Company, and himself, on the 26th nit., been submitted to my board. wish The directors instruct me to state that they have no . here to enter upon a controversy as to the nature or eireumstances of agreements to which either company may be Parties ; but they are quite at a lo s s t o p er c e ive the dis tinction or dissimilarity for which you con tend, between the Londo n and North-Westernre and the one hand, an d the Great anti M an id d la s n h d re Al w l s i b an ur c on ye: on the other.

"By the alliance of the London and North-Western Company with the Midland, the North Staffer (shire, and other railway companies, they possess an uninterrupted communication by railway, not only between the north and south of England, but between both of them and the west of England, including south Wales through Worces ter, Gloucester, and Bristol. "The only avenue for traffic between the Great Western system at Wolverhampton (where our line unites with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway) and the north, exists by means of the two Shrewsbury lines, those com panies being independent of the London and North-Western Company. "My directors are apprised by your letter that it is nevertheless the full intention of your company to resist and oppose subsisting traffic arrangements between th e Great Western and Shrewsbury Companies, and your company is known to be endeavouring to obtain a control over those lines. Our alliance is treated by your company as a violation of good faith, and you allude to recent dis closures,' &c. " It is not the purpose of my directors heretovindicate or defend the practice alleged against an individual, op posed to your views, of splitting shares to multiply votes, which they know to have been extensively practised by your company, when endeavouring to defeat the Great Western agreement for the purch ase of the Birmingham 84 p 7 r . ete T ud h e e d fa e b o rl: tainodn ofW nolveoenirhptoeaamoneneallintnesoirndtehretoyegairvle mation to the spurious agreements, was simultaneously re sorted to in that case.

" If proof be required of these facts they can be readily furnished by documents and evidence, which will show that some of the directors and principal agents of the London and North-western Company split numberless shares into the names of servants, labourers, and even fac tory children, to carry their object. When writs were issued to enforce the calls, your agents, Messrs. Beale and Colmore, of Birmingham, gave the undertaking to appear f or many of them, It would be superfluous, in the face of such proceedings,' to argue with your company whether the `alleged recent disclosures' of similar conduct on the part of a director and officer of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Company are discreditable, or whether or not ' in violation of good faith, and contrary to the intention of the Legislature.' " Reverting, however, to the substance of the proposi tion now under consideration, my directors believe that it may be thus explained : " In order to promote ' a cessation of hostility between our respective companies,' the London and North western Company suggest that the directors of the Great Western Company shall, under a pledge with heavy penalties, undertake never to charge lower rates to the public than themselves, in order to permit the London and North-western, with the aid of their allies (the Midland and North Stafford shire Companies), to convey all the traffic which they can obtain by equal rates between places on their respective lines and the west of England, while, on the other hand, the London and North-Western Company, nominally pro posing equal rates for the traffic of other districts, are to be at full liberty to exclude the Great Western from ob taining any traffic at all, by severing, if they can, the alli ance, and by cancelling the working arrangements for in terchange of traffic between the Great Western and the two Shrewsbury Companies. In fact, they are to be free to seize upon and annihilate the only railway connection between our two systems, by which at present any sort of competition with themselves could be carried on beyond Wolverhampton. " The exertions notoriously made by your company to exclude the traffic of our districts from all places to the north of Wolverhampton, and to close up the Shrewsbury lines against any continuity of working arrangements, may indeed be very natural for those who are aiming to protect the interests of a great monopoly ; but my directors must decline now, as they have ever done, to fetter themselves, under such circumstances, with obligations which may hereafter be dexterously employed as weapons, on public grounds, against themselves, failing in the meantime to produce even the semblance of a peaceful and permanent settlement. " This board cannot consent to do any act or permit any act to be done by others which is at all at variance with subsisting engagements, and least of all will they acquiesce in any principle calculated to embarrass themselves in ulterior measures, without some corresponding advantage to their prpprietors. The directors would, of course, be glad to discover an effectual mode of settling all matters in difference with the London and North-Western Com pany, but the conditions of any arrangements must be in all respects entirely reciprocal, fair, and conclusive in their effects. The covenants must be such as can be legally en forced upon all parties concerned, and due regard must be had to the engagements of each company with their re spective allies. " Remunerative rates, as it appears to my board, may be adjusted by agreement between all parties concerned, and rendered equal without injury to the public or injus tice to the companies, provided they do not aim at exclu sion and obstruction of trade, but as means of insuring adequate facilities for the unrestricted transit and inter change of traffic between different systems, of which prin ciple Mr. Cardwell's committee seems to have expressed, in their report, an unqualified approval. " I remain, dear sir, yours very sincerely, (Signed) " CHARLES A. SAUNDERS, Secretary. " Charles E. Stewart, Esq., Secretary, " London and North-Western Railway Company, Euston Station." " London and North-Western Railway, Secretary's Office, Ruston Station, London, Aug. 17, 1553. " Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge your letter of the 15th instant, and to express regret at the very hostile and even bitter tone and spirit in which the proposals of this company for a cessation of hostilities (couched, it is be lieved, in calm and temperate language) have been re ceived by you. " Much of your letter is occupied by a repetition of cer tain charges, to the effect that the funds of the London and North-Western Company have been applied to the purchase of shares in order to defeat Great Western purposes. " These charges have been publicly and authoritatively denied ; and I feel sure my board will decline again to notice them, or to enter upon any discussions which are irrelevant to the immediate question. " On the 26th ult. the managers of the Midland and of this company met you by appointment at Paddington, to discuss the question of rates, &c., for traffic between Bris tol and Birmingham--traffic, be it borne in mind, with which the Shrewsbury railways have no connection. At that interview, however, you introduced parties, d ec l ar i ng them to be the representatives of those undertakings, with apparently no other object than that of obtaining an in direct recognition of the alleged agreements between those whom they purported to represent and your company. " Having openly declined, on several occasions, and more particularly when a committee of shareholders had, during last autumn, certain communications with our two boards, to recognise the existence of exclusive agreements inconsistent with our own relations towards the Shrews bury companies, it is not very apparent why you should again raise this point of difference, and especially on an o ccasion when the particular traffic in question had no re ference to those companies. The mode in which you in troduced the subject, permit me to say, did not appear to my directors quite consistent with that candour which should characterise such discussions, and which it has always been their wish to encourage. "I feel sure I am expressing the opinions of my direc tors when I say, they regret that communications should take place which are little calculated to smooth the way for an accommodation of the differences existing between the two companies. Thei: offer (renewed in Mr. Stewart's letter of the sth inst.) of equality of rates, without limi tation of district, distance, or party—their willingness to treat with all companies, as free and independent agents —and the whole tenor of their communication, which con templates freedom of transit, sufficiently negative your charge of their aiming at a great monopoly.' "My directors entertain an earnest desire to establish and maintain friendly relations with your company, as well as with all others, on a fair and honourable basis. And while they decline to compromise the just rights of their proprietors, they will not lessen the chances of attaining so desirable an object by raising needless points of differ ence, or entering upon the wide field of discussion opened by your letter upon a variety of topics which have no re ference to the question immediately before them. " I am, dear sir, faithfully yours, " For Chas. E. Stewart, Sec., "C. A. Saunders, Esq." "R. SAVILE. " Great Western Railway, Paddington Terminus, August 18, 1853. " Dear Sir,—l - venture to suggest, in reply to your let ter of yesterday's date, that it will be more consistent with the professions of peace which almost invariably form the last paragraph of every letter received from your com pany, to abstain from making attacks upon those with whom you are in correspondence, than, as on the present occasion, after making an unprovoked taunt about recent disclosures in violation of good faith,' to decline again to notice charges which you affirm to have been made and authoritatively denied. "My reply to your former letter charged your company with the same practices in 1847 and 1851, some of which you had been instructed to allege as committed subse quently by a director of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, in defence of their alliance with the Great West ern Company, upon which allegation your company now think proper to justify resistance to agreements which you have, nevertheless, been resisting long before the present disclosure. . borer`ee` been applied ta d e tcp i ony cl eltail n te o i 0 , a in t thin purposes, letter, funds of the London and North Western Company , have Western to the purchase of shares, in order to uefeat nor, for various reasons, is that care setiii sums faoetfho.r and maintained is, that your the employment' of agents ; 1 thee f t lyasnty t p h a e i ( n 1 e 'lll 3 1 guaranteedand defrayed expenses incurred in the ef the parties actin egal agreements with this company; passed to prevent sealA votes ; a for color Z n your company split shares to increase resolut ions between companies theindependenutn: was fabricated, and performance of contract t the London and North-Western Company ; and by s uch h, te e a ry ns , a t n li c e i GevreenattuWaueystteernCom pany were driven to i was unsuccessfullyiehnsoonnexion withthnie Parlia ment, to maintain them: e ployed W olverhampton, Great " The same plan, ,c,,north ompanieservvi:ieitsl W two companies London vaenrd azzirivons seal: , the Western Company to the now in active operation wititi'llt of with the Great Western Company intalikeiSnglirew sbu;v en g a rl: nt : n o d f hampton : with this difference only ° tl',a the splitting NorthN orth ..

" In reply to y our other observations, I must b© permit ted to observe that the managers of the Midland Company and the London and North-Western Compan d between not meet me to discuss the ques tio n of rates, &c., for traffic Bristol and Birminham exclusively. If that had been the sole object, Captain Finish's presence would have been morequite unnecessary. It was for the purp ose of discussing the general question, and when Mr. Joseph Sanders wrote to me on that account to propose Captain Huish joining in THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1853. the conference, I acquiesced ; but acquainted him at the same time by letter that I should request the managers of companies in alliance with the Great Western to attend at the same conference. "I think it right to address these observations to you for the purpose of showing that your letter, just received, has been written under serious misapprehensions. " Whether the answer of my board to your former com munication is properly characterised as written in a very hostile, and even bitter tone and spirit,' impartial persons must determine ; but they will no doubt consider, also, whether it bo not an honest and just reproach against your company for affecting to charge upon the allies of the Great Western Company the disclosure of practices which your company had themselves instituted and acted upon, as well in the former instance of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway as in the now repeated effort to upset our agree ments with the Shrewsbury Companies. " Peace may be obtained and secured, but not by attempts to force agreements against the interests of others 2 • and my directors, firm and resolute in what they believe to be right, will not be led aside from their duty to assent to any overtures for peace unless they perceive equality, fairness, and just principles in the conditions proposed for their acceptance.—l am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " C. A. SAIINDER3, Secretary. "Charles E. Stewart, Esq., London and North-Western Railway, Euston Station." A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. NEWPORT AND HEREFORD. The day for the opening of the Newport, Aberga venny, and Hereford Railway has been definitively fixed for the 4th of October, when a single line of rail will be opened for traffic. The question of a site for the Here ford station has at length been settled, and it has been decided to place it on the south side of the Above Eign, between that road and the Barton. Into this station the Shrewsbury and Hereford line will run, and a large and handsome terminus, sufficient to meet the wants of both companies, will be erected. A through traffic, from the south of Wales to the Mersey and the North, will soon be secured. Great exertions are being made to complete the Shrewsbury and Hereford in time for the Newport and Hereford, and at the Barr's Court end much activity is being displayed. The Dinmore tunnel is the heavy work now to be done. ANTRIM JUNCTION. A public meeting of landowners, merchants, and far mers was held at Antrim on Monday, to consider the propriety of obtaining railway communication to that town ; Lord Ferrard in the chair. Mr. WOODHOUSE explained that a line was projected in 1845 for supplying them with railway communication. The capital was intended to be 200,0001., but, owing to the depression which followed in 1846, the undertaking was abandoned. The prospects of Ireland were now improving, and nearly all the Irish railways were pay ing dividends. It only required the assistance of parties locally interested to enable the promoters to carry out the undertaking. After some discussion, resolutions were passed in favour of the line, which is intended to form a junction with the Ulster Railway, and the meeting separated. NORTHERN AND EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the BishopT,ate station of the Eastern Counties Railway, and the usual dividends, at the rate of 5 per cent. and 6 per cent. per annum for the half year, were declared.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the first reading of a bill for effecting certain reforms in the practice of the Courts of Common Law at Westminster.

Commissioners not giving the courts power to call witnesses whom they had reason to think had beers pur posely withheld. The bill was then read a first time. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Me rionethshire in favour of extending the jurisdiction of county courts. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord REDESDALE gave notice that next session he would move that no bill be read a second time after a certain day (to be hereafter fixed) in the month of July. ISLAND OF CUBA. In reply to Lord BROUGHAM, The Earl of CLARENDON said about three weeks ago the Consul-General at Cuba had reported that, in consequence of certain very stringent instructions being sent out by the Spanish Government for the suppression of the slave trade, a very great amendment had taken place in the practices at. Cuba. A notorious slave dealer had been arrested and imprisoned, and though it was reported he had since been released, he had received no official information of the fact. HACKNEY CARRIAGE DUTIES (No. 2) BILL. The standing orders having been dispensed with, the bill went through its several stages, and was passed. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Militia Pay, Land Tax Redemption Act Amendment, South Sea and other Annuities (Provision for Pay ment, &c.), Apprehension of Offenders Act Amend ment, Betting Houses, Commons Inclosure (No. 3), Female Convicts, Loan Societies, Marriages (Holy Trinity Church, Hulme) Validity, Friendly Societies, Copyhold, &c., Commission Continuance, Metropolitan Sewers Act Continuance, Customs Consolidation Act, and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction. Their Lordships adjourned at a few minutes after six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at five minutes after three o'clock. NEW MEMBER. The Hon. Mr. LYTTLETON took the oaths and his seat for South Staffordshire, in the room of Major General Anson, who had resigned. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. Mr. BROTHERTON moved that standing orders, Nos. 74, 175, and 201, in the case of all private bills returned from the Lords with amendments, be sus pended—That the Lords' amendments be considered forthwith.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. Mr. MASTERMAN presented several petitions from the metropolis in favour of the legalisation of marriage with a deceased wife's sister. Sir J. DUKE presented a petition from a Sunday school in London, against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Mr. BROTHERTON presented a petition from Sal ford, against the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Lord's day. Mr. I. BUTT presented a petition from Mr. J. P. Somers, the unsuccessful candidate at the last election for Sligo, complaining that certain of the sureties to the petition which he had presented against the return of Mr. Sadleir, his opponent, had been tampered with, and praying for inquiry. On the motion of the hon. member, the petition was read at the table. Mr. SADLEIR expressed a hope that the hon. and learned member for Youghal would take the earliest op portunity of having the allegations in the petition sub jected to the test of a deliberate and public in quiry. He solemnly d ec l are d th at a ll t h e a ll egat i ons reflecting on his own conduct and acts were altogether unfounded and untrue, and he could not but express his regret that such a petition should be presented at the end of the session, wh en it was i mposs ibl e t h ere could be any immediate inquiry. Mr. I. BUTT said he would not have presented the petition unless he thought that the hon. gentleman would have, as he had already had, an opportunity of reply to statements it set forth. ASSAULTS ON WOMEN. In reply to Mr. AGLIONBY, Lord PALMERSTON said he had seen with great regret the numerous cases which were reported of as saults upon women, but he hoped when the Aggravated Assaults Bill came fully into play, and was better known and understood by these brutes in human shape, it would have the desired effect in deterring them from the commission of such offences ; but certainly, if it did not, his mind would be very much altered as to the punishment which should be awarded. CHOLERA AT HAMBURGH. In reply to Mr. BUTLER, Lord PALMERSTON said he was not aware that any inforrnation had been received by the Government as to the outbreak of cholera at Hamburg, but it was a mat ter which properly belonged to the department of foreign affairs. He should think, however, that if there had been any outbreak of cholera, it would have been noticed in the newspapers quite as early as any infor mation could be received by the Government. Mr. WILSON said a communication had just been received by the Treasury for the Board of Health, en closing a dispatch for our consul at Hamburg, which stated that 30 cases of cholera had broken out there, but it did not say whether any of them had proved fatal. In reply to Col. BLAIR , MAYNOOTH. Mr. EWART wished to know whether the commis sion to inquire into •Maynooth would be appointed in sufficient time to report before neat session. Lord J. RUSSELL thought be could give such an assurance, as all the commissioners had been se lected, and there would be no further delay in the appointment of the commission ? THE CASE OF EDWARD MURRAY, Lord D. STUART wished to ask the noble lord the member for the city of London, whether the attention of Government has been further directed to the case of Edward Murray, a British subject, condemned to im prisonment for life by the government of the Pope, and whether they will take further steps for obtaining his liberation. Lord J. RUSSELL said the British Minister at Florerice had made repeated application to the Papal Government on the subject, and the last reply was that the Papal Government could not extend any further mercy to Mr. Murray. It was, however, not the inten tion of the Government to allow the matter to drop. THE CASE OF PHILLIPS THE CABMAN. Lord D. STUART having detailed the circumstances of this case, proceeded to ask the noble lord, the Secre tary of State for the Rome Department, whether he had caused any inquiry to be made into the case, and if so, what was the result of it ? Lord PALMERSTON said upon enquiry it was found that the cabman had not made any overcharge, and he had, therefore, caused the fine to be returned to the cabman, with an additional 40s. He took this op portunity of expressing a hope that the police magis trates would in future take care to have a large map of London in their offices, to which reference could be made, and similar mistakes prevented in cases like this. (Hear, hear.) LORDS AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to several bills were then con sidered and agrepo. TURNPIMOTS CONTINUANCE BILL. Lord PALMEIWON, with regard to this bill, sub mitted to the lionse inat it would be better not to persist in the clause prohibiting the use of dog-carts, which the Lords had struck out of this bill, and leave the nuisance in question, which he admitted to be a very great one, to be dealt with next session in a separate bill. After a few words from Sir WILLIAM JOLLIFFE and Mr. EWART, the motion of the noble lord was agreed to. CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICERS. Mr. WILSON wished to ask the hon. and learned member for Greenwich a question on the subject of a seizure of watches, which had taken place by the Cus toms authorities. Now the notice of motion, which the honourable and learned gentleman had given, so far prejudged the matter as to state that the Customs autho rities had been guilty of an illegal and unlawful act, and he wished to know if the honourable and learned gentleman still persevered in that notice of motion ? Mr. CHAMBERS said, the words complained of had inadvertently crept into the notice of motion. He was, however, not prepared now to say whether he should or should not renew the motion next session ; but if he found upon inquiry that it was his duty to do so, he should not shrink from performing it. The Lords' amendments to some other bills were con- sidered and agreed to. LEADER OF THE HOUSE. Mr. CAYLEY gave notice, that early next session he should move for a select committee to inquire into the expediency of fixing a salary to the office of leader of the house. The house then adjourned until half-past one to-mon row. THE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.) PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, AUG. 18.

COWES, AuG. 18. HER MAJESTY'S CIIP. We gave a partial account of the progress of the race for her Majesty's Cup yesterday, and it will be unneces sary now to do more than refer to it from the point at which time compelled us to close the dispatch. On breasting Old Castle Point, the Gloriana took the lead of the Shark, and, although beating up dead against the tide she continued to gain upon her, and passed the No-Man Buoy as follows : Gloriana Shark .. H. H. S. 2 54 0 2 55 44 The wind from this point was light and baffling, and but little progress could be made. When off Old Castle Point the Shark make along tack to the northward (the Gloriana being then nearly half a mile to the windward), and caught a strong wind from the north-west, which brought her up nearly alongside the Gloriana before the latter vessel felt the breeze. An interesting and capital race took place from this point, which terminated in favour of the Gloriana by 40 seconds only. The follow ing was the time of arrival as given officially by the club : Gloriana Shark .. Viking.. H. M. S. 6 35 0 6 35 40 6 48 0 Great cheering greeted the Gloriana on her becoming the second time the winner of her Majesty's Cup. Royal A s the y a e t h i m t e s q approaches o p for o f t hat l o o o gre gli oreaaese thefor yachts of the squadron and the yachts of all nations, the greatest interest is manifested. The American cutter Sylvie from her trial yesterday has only increased the confidence of nearly all classes that the Squadron Cup will be won by her, and won triumphantly. She is a Perfect spe c i men o f arc hi tecture, i n which t h e m i nutes t etai ls have r ece i ve d every considerat i on. The follow i ng are the entries for this great prize : Yachts. Tons.

Defau Aurora Boreali s (Swede) 250 ... Captain Beckman Alarm . 248 ... Mr. J. Weld Osprey 59 ... Lieut.-Col. R. W. Huey Mosquito GUANO. Lord J. RUSSELL said the subject so important as the recent discovery of guano on the east coast of Africa would receive the serious attention of the Government. TERRITORY OF MOSQUITO. Lord D. STUART asked whether the negotiations between this Government and the Governments of Cen tral America and the United States, with regard to the territory of Mosquito, were terminated ; if not, whether the noble lord would explain to the house the state of those negotiations ; and whether he would have any ob jection to lay before the house any portion of the corre spondence on the subject? Lord J. RUSSELL said he was sorry to answer, that the negotiations had not terminated. Various proposi tions were made by her Majesty's Government to the Government of the United States, and he had hoped they would have led to an amicable settlement of the question, but the last communication received from that Government was unsatisfactory so far as regarded the acceptance of the propositions, although they appeared to her Majesty's Government to be most reasonable and conciliatory in their character. He was unable to state at present the exact nature of the negotiations, but he would be prepared to lay the whole papers on the table next session. In reply to a question from Sir De L. EVANS, Lord J. RUSSELL said, redress had been ordered by the Government, in all cases in which it appeared to them any hardship had been suffered. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS. Mr. A. PELLATT asked the noble lord the member for the City of London, what sum was included in the ag gregate vote of 281,7651. (for public education in Great Britain), for establishing new schools in towns where no town councils exist, in conformity with the Minute of Council, whether the sum so voted for this special object would be expended during the suspension of the proposed Education Bill; also, in the event of that bill being ul timately wholly withdrawn, whether the minute of council in question would be rescinded, and the money deducted from the current year's educational grant, thereby reducing the large excess of 100,0001. as com pared with the expenditure of 1852 ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, so far as regarded that part of the bill which applied to places having town councils, the sum voted would not be 'expended ; and as to the question of the hon. gentleman as to establishing new schools in towns where me town councils existed he begged to state, that it was the decision of the Government that where cases of that kind occurred, and were brought before the committee of the Privy Council, grants ought to be made in conformity with the minute of the board. With respect to the other question, when in the event of the bill being ultimately withdrawn, the minute would be rescinded, that was a subject for considera tion hereafter, and he could not now therefore give any positive answer to the hon. gentle Man on that point. PENAL CODE OF PORTUGAL. Mr. KINNAIRD wished to ask Lord John Russell tf any information had reached the Government with re ference to a late decree said to have been passed by the Queen of Portugal, and sanctioned by the Cortes, by which any subject of that kingdom is condemned to fine and imprisonment, varying from one to three years, if he should do anything, by word or in writing, which, in the opinion of the Govern ment, may be considered as an insult to any of the dog mas of the Roman Catholic religion, or attempt to pro pagate doctrines contrary to that religion, or celebrate public acts of worship differing therefrom, and by which any foreigner convicted of similar offences is to be ban ished from that kingdom. And if so, whether he bad any objection to lay a copy of such decree, or extract there from, on the table of the house. Also, if any provision has been made for the protection of the rights and liber ties of the subjects of her Majesty resident in or visiting that kingdom, in conformity with the treaty of July 3, 1842, by which treaty the right was guaranteed to them of building and maintaining, without hinderance, places of public worship, and the free exercise of their religion was promised to them. And if so, whether he would lay a copy of such provision on the table of the house, to gether with copies of any correspondence between her Majesty's Government and that of the Queen of Portu gal on this subject ? Lord J. RUSSELL said her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon had only sent over portions of the decree, but it was evident the decree did not infringe the treaty, be cause there had been no complaint to that effect on the part of any British subject. There was consequently no intention or necessity, as yet, to remonstrate against the decree. P ING INTELLIGENCE. C USTOM-HOUSE—Au G. 18.
