tei.• eupen it even though liVoleswol th's motion— i schter)— did come on on Monday. He objected to the ex , oeen of the Roman Catholics from the grant. and he con that any scheme having for its object the education • .he people, while at the same time it excluded o rtion of the people from the benefits of it would ne ver _ssee p • sreeettever should give, satisfaction to the country.— , . hear.) He thought that unless they passed some reso ietion like that which was proposed by the Member for the lower Hamlets they would not give a fair encouragement to Ilse clergymen of those parishes to which be had before alluded. He, as a landowner, was not prepared to set up schools where he Dissenters would be excluded. He would not vote for any • stern which comprehended a compulsory power ; Ise did not think that such a system could with A very be applied to this country They were often in the habit of hearing the Prussian system lauded, but what was the fact, notwithstanding all this education in Prussia The State was everything and the people were nothing. It was true they had lately obtained some kind of a Liberal con stitution, but it could only be regarded as a step in the right d rection—.(Hear, hear)--and nothing more. The Hon. Baronet then read an extract from a letter written Ly the Secretary for the Massachussets Board of Education. which stated that he never saw a more vicious set of boys, and evil passions more strongly developed in the countenances of the people ; and he, the Hon. Baronet was yet to learn that the people of Prussia, after three hundred years of a compulsory system by her Government, were a better disposed people than the English. tiniest the Government gave some assurance that they would carry some such proposition as that of the :Wernher for the Tower Hamlets, great dissatisfaction would prevail. He voted against the Government because he thought the measure would widen Sae present religious differ ences which existed in the country. Mr. HENLEY said that he thought the Hon. Baronet was very unfortunate, because many gentlemen who exp resse d themselves in favour of his principles, yet were determined to vote against him, indeed two Right Hon. Baronets on this side of the House ( Sir R. Peel and Sir James Graham ), while professing themselves to be strongly in favour of the measure, threw in a few observations which were as little likely to facilitate its passing through the House as the explosion of a barrel of gunpowder.—(Loud laughter.) He warned the Noble Lord at the head o f t h e Government, and those who were with him, and who were acting under the paetence of these Minutes of Council, that if they attempted to give the Church of England, or any body in this country, an y sort of aid in consequence of what was said in that House —if they attempted to force on the Church of England the education of the people in a way which it conscientiously be lieved was not the right way—that they would meet with an oppositirn which they had not calculated upon.—(Hear, hear.) Be should not have noticed this point so strongly had it not been for the speech of the Noble Lord at the head of the Go vernment. The Noble Lord did in that speech use very strong expressions, and he (Mr. Henley) could tell him, that they had been much noticed in the country. It had been well said by a high authority the other night, that the Church had of late years, by the course it had adopted, taken a considerable hold of the people. He would ask if that fact arose from the Church having sacrificed its destinctive principles, or by any system of slip slop religion ? They knew that it was by their increased zeal for the people's welfare. The Church stood more upon it , destinctive principles than it ever did, and honestly and stedfastly refused to give up what he bslieved to be its right, and he hoped that she would contieue to stand fast upon her rights. If, however, the Church was not to instruct the youth under her charge in the religion see believed to be the true one, she would not instruct them at all. Such had been the course taken by her during the last ten years, and owing to the zeal and good conduct of her members she had obtained that love of the people which the Right Hon. Bart. had alluded to. Hold ing that opinion as he did, it was impossible for him not to vote against the amendment of the Right Hon. Baronet op posite. Sir GEORGE GREY said that he would call the attention of the House to the fact, that from the time his Right Hon. Friend made his motion, until the time when the Hon. Mem ber who had just spoken arose, not one word had been said with reference to the particular motion. The debate had been entirely upon the general question—it was in fact a continua tion of the debate of the three preceding nights. He for one as unwilling to interrupt the present discussion upon the ge neral question, and if gentlemen desired to express their opi nions, they had a right to take th e present opportunity of stating their sentiments The Hon. Member who had just sat down had confined Wessell* to the particular motion, and he was frse to say had called the attention of the House to it. He tliffered from the Hon. Member in some points, and especially in his supposition that the Government was about to adopt the ystem proposed. He hoped that although it was not the hi ::neon of Government to attempt to force or impose, as a ne :es,ary condition, upon all schools receiving the Government aid, thas they should extend their education and instruction to the children of these parents who objected to the religious in struction of the Church of England—that the practice was becoming prevalent in many cases, of not enforcing the instruction in the catechism and liturgy upon the children of those parents who objected to their receiving such instructions. He rejoiced to say that that liberal feeling and good sense was becoming dully more prevalent. Some short time since, an Gentleman said in that House, owing to a similar sen timent expressed by his Noble Friend at the head of the Go vernment, that it was the intention of the Government—their avowed intention to enforce such instruction as a necessary condition on receiving those Government grants, and he (Sir George Grey) had endeavoured to explain a few nights since, that such an act would be totally inconsistent with the course which the Government had in view. They did not propose to establish a system, to impose any conditions as to the kind of instruction to be given in those schools re ceiving Parliamentary aid, they only proposed to assist existing institutions to increase their usefulness and efficiency relating to secular instructio n , su bj ect only to the condition of inspec tion. He confessed that if the Government adopted the prin ciple of his Hon. Friend, it would be totally inconsistent with the desire they had to increase the voluntary efforts of large bodies. The National Societe and the British School Society would have to remodel their arrangements. Such a proceeding w ould put a stop to many v o l un t ary efforts, which the Govern went did not want to supersede. He thought, therefore, that the apprehensions expressed by the Hon. Member who had last spoken, as to the conduct of the Government, were not well Jimmied. The Government wished, and it was quite consistent to wish it. that perhaps by a voluntary arrangement these chil dren of different sec's might be brought together—that children of every denomination might be found in the same school without in the least interfering with each others religious opinions„Such a wish was different from enf orc i ng t hi s s bool ri•gulation in the arbitrary manner which th e H on . "";ember had mentioned. His should, therefore, not feel at liberty'to cut pert the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet. 31r. ROEBUCK said that there was one thing very grati fying to all the friends of a liberal education in this country, to see the very many attempts which were made to forward this educational measure continued in the universal feeling expressed by every person whose opinion was worth having on this matter, as to the absolute necessity of some education for the people, and also the discussion as to what sort of education was most fit for her Majesty's subjects. He wished even at that late hour if the House would permit him to say a few words as to the principle which governed that vote. It remained now to be admitted as a general principle that it was the duty of the Government to provide, or attempt to educate the people. The other question they had to consider in spite of the intelligence reit of doors, was the nature of the education to be so bestowed. It had been admitted that the Government was justified in attempting to educate the people, and therefore he should net attempt to prove it. He would assume also that it was the business of the Government to edu cate the largest number of the population that it was possible. The Noble Lord the Men.hsr for London and the Right Hon. Member for Tamworth stated together that it would be of no use to give the people half an education. If the Government objected to give half an education to the people, there was certainly a difference between doing that and giving an education to half of the people. He would give the children in these schools knowledge on which all parties were agreed. Whether it were geography, mathemalcs, or any other branch of knowledge, it mattered nothing, they all agreed as to the necessity of teaching it, :whether they were Roman Catholics, Baptists, or Presby tsrians. He now came to the fashioning of the habits of the :sing generation. This consisted in the moral influence of the Ilarnily, the opinion of society, the law, and the influence of a future state of reward for virtuous conduct. All these went to form the character of the individual. Now, what he would w i s e to know was, whether any difference existed among ail these parties as to the teaching of them. No, they all agreed in the obligations of the moral law, and in inculcating a belief in a future state of re wards and punishments as beneficial to the habits and conduct of the children who were to be taught. Whether they dis puted about consubvantiation or transubstantiation, the Douay vers:on or the authorised version of the Scriptures, they all agreed as to the teaching of the moral principles to which he had referred. It was only when they introduced their fantastic dogmata, supported by prejudice, passion, and ignorance, but not by virtue, that they differed and disputed. It was by these dogmata, these peculiar theological opinions, that disturbances ':were created, and a noise made about the necessity of a reli gious system of education. Let them avoid such causes of dis pute as these, and in their education admit only of such religi is teaching as was permanent and common to all, and which d:d nat raise the phar.tom of religious hatred and enmity throughout the kingdom. What he would ask on the present occasion was, did the Government not introduce into their scheme that religion about which there was no difference, and that religion about which so much difference prevailed? Take the Roman Catholics. Among them there were many men who were good fathers, brothers, citizens, and Christians, in spite of their religious prejudices. The same might be said of all the other religious sects, in spite of all their differences. What, then, did the Noble Lord mean by this teaching of religion which he proposed? He (Mr. Roe buck) did not object to their teaching the moral duties of life, and to a state of reward for virtue hereafter ; but he objected to their laying down any standard by which other men were to be judged on religious matters. The Hon. Member (Mr. Plumptre) had endeavoured to lay down such a standard, and bad said as much as that all who would not eel-ea with him would be doomed. (Hear, hear.) If the Hun. Member had substituted a for o perhaps he would have much better expressed his real meaning. —(Loud laughter.) He objected to (his setting up of authority. The -• Weals- ans had come in, and they had objected to the Roman Catholics participating in any o f the g rant in a document they had recently issued ; and they , fain tin g with a glorification that they hoped ere long to have full religious toleration. Such toleration with them, however, meant, that it be only tolera tiers of their own sect. They wished to exalt themselves as the standard of all virtue. He, however, had no faith In such toleration.—Hear, hear.) It would appear that the -Wesleyan* had entertained some doubt as to the minutes of council, be cause it appeare d t o f avou r the suppo- sition that the Roman Catholic s w ou ld b e a ll ow ed to partici pate in the grant • applications to the' Government, but now it would appear, after sending rhee,.

They would cot take the money of the Government to mop egate what the .l'ob'e Lord conceived to be error, but e., e y took it in order to rescue the people from the deep degre - elation in which they were plunged.

Thus they would, I ssaneeed . a'es' yin knowledge, in wisdom, and in Christian / 7- s r Lord JOHN RUSSELL was really exceedingly sorry to ' trouble the House with many observations on this subject, and after the statement which he had himself made last night, and after the statement of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Alember for Tamworth, he should, but for the speech which had just been made, have considered that it was totally unnecessary to enter into any explanation of the views of Government on the subject of education. He did think that the statement which bad been made by the Marquis of Lansdowne, on the introduc tion of the measure, would have entirely set the matter at rest; at least so far as the Wesleyans were concerned. But the Hen. Member for Bath (Mr. Roebuck) bad raised a creature of his own imagination. He seemed to suppose that the Wesleyans had come to a decision, that the Government had never con templated the granting any assistance to,the Roman Catholics and had represented that its several members had evinced an elastic conscience in the proceeding which they had now adopted. But without the least reference to the transactions of the present year, he might refer to the year 1839, when he had put forth the principle that Roman Catholic schools ought to be established. The principle had, indeed, been adopted in 1833, and the assertion, therefore, that they had never contemplated the establishment of such schools was a perfect absurdity. In 1839 he saw that public opinion was opposed to him on this subject, and he had endeavoured to ' overcome it, but in this he was mistaken, and had determined therefore to wait until a revulsion of feeling should occur, and the time should come when the measure couli be carried with effect. Ile had said that public opinion would come round, and that the opportunity would occur when the schools would be established. He had repeated this (minion last night, and he did conceive that the whole question had been settled by the division to which the House had come last night. The notes which be had read were, he conceived, amply sufficient to prove that he had always contemplated the establish- ' ment of Roman Catholic schools. —( Loud cheers.) But it had been represented that he had first seen a Roman Catholic Bishop, and then had refused to act upon the decisions at which he had then arrived. He had certainly seen a highly respectable Roman Catholic Bishop, and had stated to him that in the event of the question being raised, that nothing should be done without having a consultation with him. But in reply to the observations, that he had refused to meet Dissenters, he might remark, that he had lately seen two deputations from Leeds, and that he had, in addition, seen a great number of de. putations, but these deputations cccupied a great quantity of time —( Loud and continued cheers)—and the affairs to which he was obliged to attend, necessarily called for his consideration. —( Loud cheers.) The motion of his Hon. Friend depended upon a point on which a very small portion of the debate had turned. And he regretted this, for if it had been otherwise the House would have more rapidly come to a decision. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) In 1833, he had proposed grants to the National Society, and the British and Foreign School So ciety, and he believed that the Right Hon. Baronet the Mem ber for Tamworth was quite right instating last night, that the Wesleyans had no objection to the diffusion of education among the Roman Catholics. But stripping this question of all the difficulties by which it was surrounded, he could never agree to the assertion, that the instruction was to be altogether of a secular character. He had hoped that this measure would have put an end to religious disputes.—( Cheers.) He had for many years been a member of the British and Foreign School So ciety, and that society had never permitted any instruction to tie given except that which was founded on the Bible.— (Cheers.) As his friend, William Allen, had stated, the British and Foreign schools were the schools for all, for he believed that no man desired instruction who did not wish to be taught the principles of the Bible. Therefore if his Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets persisted in his motion he would deprive the dissent ing body of a grant of 100,0(101. per annum. After a few words from Mr. HARRIS, Mr. HOWARD complained that the Noble Lord at the head of the Government had been guilty of a want of courtesy to interview R iew om tn an ß C ia a h t o h p ol G ic r s i , ffi in t a h s a m , a u n c d h o a t s he he had cat n r e o f l i u n s ed bishops, a t n o o gran psr p t r a e n . vious to the 19th inst., while at the same time he had already granted an interview to Mr. Jabez Bunting and the Wesleyans. He should most certainly vote in favour of the motion of the Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets, because he wished to see justice done to ail classes of the country. Mr. ACLAND explained. Strangers were then ordered to leave the gallery, and the House divided, when there appeared— - RAILWAY COMMITTEES, valuable. About 50,000 quarters of corn are now annually sold in Sleaford market, and the area from which it is drawn is about 98,000 acres, of which about 65,000 are at present under the plough. The corn sold consisted of wheat, barley, oats, and beans. ' On the requisition of the Chairman, Mr. West produced a copy of the estimates on which his evidence was given, and from it he stated that the extent of land actually under tillage is 63,640 acres, leaving 4,120 acres in fallow. For these acres, on the usual calculation of 12 bushels per acre, there would be required for them 253,440 bushels, or 4,424 tons. This, of course, is beyond the amount made in the district itself. In addition to this manure, there would be a large quantihr of oil cake brought into the district. At present the price of wheat at Sieaford is two or three shillings a quarter lower than it is at Newark, and if these branches were made, the produce would not only in crease the amount of the produce, but enhance the price, and give facilities for carrying it to distant markets. Lynn is at present a large import place, but the linseed cake comes chiefly from Hull and Gainshorough. Many of the crushing mills are on the banks of the Trent. At present it comes by a circuitous route, and costs 12s. a ton for carriage ; while by the proposed railway of the Direct Northern Company the distance would not be more than 40 miles, and the expense not more than five or six shillings. After the conclusion of Mr. Sergeant Wrangham's exami nation in chief, HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY). GROUP I. The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the schemes comprised in this group re-assembled, at the usual hour this morning in Room 30; Mr. W. 0. Stanley in the chair. Mr. Sergeant CLARK inquired whether the witness was not a traffic taker for the London and York Company, to which he replied that he was not so, but bad been engaged to esti mate the agricultural produce of some of the districts through which their line was to pass. There are at the present mo ment several crushing mills at Nottingham, bat the bone manure he believed to come from Newton and the Gainsbo rough d strict. After much further cross• examination as to the probably increased value of the land from the intended line, to which Mr. Westrephed that he believed the Direct Northern to be the best line, Mr. James ascertained that the line would pass for three or four miles through the Mar quis of Bristol's property. In the witness's opinion, the district north of a line, drawn west to east from Sleaford to Newark, was much more productive than that south of it, and till communication would give the facility for getting north wards. The distance between Gainsborough is about 43 miles, and this line will shorten it by about two miles. Bos ton is of no use for the supply of seed cake, as it never came there. Much further cross-examination ensued on the several capabilities of Lincolnshire for agricultural produce, and the opportunities which the respective lines of the Direct Nor thern and the Ambergate Companies would give for its trans mission. After some further evidence the Committee adjourned till Monday. For the motion 74 Against it Majority ... -136 The House then went into Committee, and the vote was agreed to. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BILL. The Earl of MARCH objected to the funds for this Bill being taken from the county rate. He would not cease to oppose such a course ; and he thought that the expense should fall upon the consolidated fund. Mr. MILES supported this view of the question. Mr. FINCH thought that much mote would be saved by the Right Hon. Gentleman taking the discussion upon the second reading of this Bill ; there were so many objections to the Bill, which he thought would by no means answer the purposi for which it was intended. Mr. HENLEY trusted that the Government would consent to the postponement of this measure until the Members were better informed as to its nature, and the way in which it was proposed that it should operate. The Bill was then postponed. The Highways Bill was then read a second time. 'The Factories Bill was then postponed until Monday next. The report of the Naval Prisons Bill was brought up and received. rnt SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1847 Trevor Chute to be Major, by purchase, vice Bigge ; Lieut.

Sir GEORGE GREY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law of settlement. The Bill was read a first time. The House then adjourned at One o'clock. STATE OF MR. O'CONNELL'S HEALTH. Private letters received in 'London, as well as the ac counts which appear in the Continental journals, are confirmatory of the apprehension that Mr. O'Contell, since his departure from Paris has not as yet derived any material benefit from his tour, but that, on the con trary, owing to the extreme severity of the weather, he is sinking under the malady which afflicts him. Letters received within the last two days represent the invalid's condition at Lyons as peculiarly distressing. His phy sical vigour, for which Mr. O'Connell was once so dis tinguished, is stated to be very much shattered, and he is afflicted periodically with a mental depression which it is painful for his friends and companions to contem plate. The inclement weather prevailine , in the south of France since the opening of the month, has had a sad effect on him, and rendered the progress from La Palisse to Lyons exceedingly trying on the Honourable and Learned Gentleman. On his arrival, in company with his chaplain, the Rev. Dr. Miley, and his son, the Member for Dundalk, at the Hotel rUnivers in Lyons, a few days, since the Catholics of the city assembled in large numbers, and r eso l ve d upon presenting him with an address, expressive of their admiration and condolence, thus following the example of the Catholic party in Paris, whose address, drawn up by the eloquent pen of the Comte de Montalembert, has already obtained publicity in almost every French and British newspaper. The Lyonese deputation, however, were denied the gratification they had promised to them selves; fiir, in reply to a personal application for an interview, they received a letter from Mr. Daniel O'Connell, jun., expressive of his regret that his father was in such a state of health as to be wholly unable to give them an audience. The letter, which is addressed to the head of the deputation, and bears date the 13th April, is as follows: — am directed by my father to express to you his deep regret, that his physicians having enjoined the strictest repose, it will be out of his power to g i v e an audience to the Catholic deputation of Lyons. "Your faithful and obliged servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL, Jun. "lintel de l'Univers." Doctors Bonnet and Voricel, the two first medical men in Lyons, were in daily attendance on Mr. O'Con nel during his sojourn in the city. The same letters which convey this intelligence, give a deplorable account of the state of the weather in the south of France, and attribute to it the aggravation of the patriot's malady. The rain has been incessant, and the cold intense, and the Rhine is represented as being swollen to an almost unprecedented degree, and inundated whole plains. Talking of Mr. O'Connell, a Lyons paper (La Rhone) observes, " The illustrious invalid never stirs out, nor does he receive visitors. Many of the highest persons in Lyons have called at his hotel, but they hare been invairiably received by his son." . Th! physician s , w h o held a consultation as to the advisability of their Irish patient continuing the journey in his state of extr eme wea k nes s, recommended further sojourn at Lyons until the weather becomes more genial. plosion, • attended by the complete took place at the gunpowder manufactory exten sive powder mills, Bainbridge,at the village of Sedg- EXPLOSION OF A POWDER demolition lllLi A of tseormrieficez wlaisetk: of Messrs.

THE BRIGHTON MID KENT SCHEME. Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer of the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company, was called to confirm the evidence of Mr. Sherrad. He preferred the Brighton line, notwithstanding the gradients were not so good as on the South-Eastern line, because the Brighton line was more direct than the South- Eastern. Mr. Cubitt, the engineer in chief of the Brighton Mid- Kent line, confirmed the testimony of Mr. Hawkshaw and Mr. Sherrad. The gradients on the Brighton line were not so good as that of the South-Eastern, but the Brighton line was shorter than the South- Eastern, and that saving would more than counterbalance the bad gradients. This closed the case for the Brighton Company. The landholders' opposition was then gone into. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock on Mon day. GROUP V. The Committee met at twelve; present, Lord Harry Vane, Chairman; Hon. N. Gore, Hon. M. Sutton, Mr. Rice, and Sir E. Filmer. WINDSOR., STAINES, AND SOUTH-WES TERN (RICHMOND TO WINDSOR). WINDSOR, ST&INES, AND SOUTH-WES TERN (STAINES TO ASCOT, &c.) The case for the promoters having been closed, Mr. KENNEDY proceeded to address the Committee on be half of proprietors opposing the Richmond and Windsor line. Mr. GURNEY, Q.C., then proceeded with the case of the road surveyors of Isleworth, against the proposed lines, and called witnesses to show that the roads at certain points would be disadvantageously affected by alterations on ac count of the railway. A number of witnesses were called and examined by Mr. Gurney, Q.C., and Mr. Burke, on the part of opposing land owners along the line, and these closed the case tor the op ponents. The Committee, as the Great Western were not prepared to go on with their Bills to-day, adjourned till Monday, at twelve. GROUP VI: SALISBURY AND YEOVIL, AND EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER. The CHAIILMAW, at the commencement of the proceedings in this Committee, stated that it was the opinion of the Com mittee that they had heard sufficient evidence as to the existing traffic between Salisbury and Yeovil, and weuld decline hearing any further evidence upon that portion of the line before the Committee. Mr. R. Hayworth, a manufacturer of sail-cloth at Chin nock, was then called, and gave evidence in favour of the line between Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester. Mr. Richard Greenham, glover, of Yeovil, was then exa mined, and gave evidence of the advantage which he would derive by the transmission of his goods to the metropolis, and the Exeter as well as the western districts of Euglaad, by means of the proposed railway. The Committee then adjourned. GROUP XL The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group:fre-assembled at the usual hour this morning, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie in the chair. COLCHESTER. AND STOUR VALLEY (LA VENHAM AND BURY EXTENSION). The case for the promoters of this line having been closed, the landholders' opposition was gone into, which occupied nearly the whole of the day. The Committee adjourned at the usual hour till Monday at twelve o'clock. GROUP XVI. The Committee met this morning at the usual hour; Mr. Kemble in the chair. GREAT NORTHERN (BRANCHES FROM HERTFORD TO ST. AX.BAN'S). Mr. B. WALL, M.P. (a member of the Committee) inti mated to the promoters of the line that he wished to be fur nished with the estimate, in detail, of that portion of the line which is proposed to run from Hertford to Ware, parallel with the line of the Eastern Counties. Mr. Siunders said, Mr. Cubitt, jun., stated in his exami • nation that the gross cost of that portion of the line, in cluding stations, would be 40,0001. Mr. B. WALL, repeated that he wished to bave the estimate in detail, and counsel promised to furnish the llun. Member with it to-morrow. On Mr. Austin taking his seat. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had heard with regret that his house had been destroyed by fire, Mr. AUSTIN thanked the Committee for their sympathy. He added, that the house was destroyed the night before last. The CHAIRMAN hoped he would be able to rebuild an other as good. Mr. AUSTIN feared that he should be unable to do se. The conversation then dropped. The opposition of Dlr. Smith, of 'Hertford, was withdrawn, the parties having agreed to refer the matter to arbitration. Mr. AUSTIN said, by the permission of the Committee he would proceed to call witnesses in support of the HERTFORD AND lIXTCHIN BRANCH of the Eastern Counties, and reserve his speech in support of the project until the close of the cases of both the lines. Mr. Gripper, a general merchant, carrying on an exten sive business at Hertford—He had resided there forty years, and was well acquainted with the trade of the whole county, and was constantly in the habit of attending the Hertford and Hitchin markets. Within a circumference of five miles of Hertford there was sufficient water-power to manufacture 300,000 sacks of flour annually. There were also a number of windmills and oil mills, which produced 4,000 tons of oil cake in the course of a year. There was a considerable malt trade at Hertford, the duty paid being 40,0001. a year, and the trade was on the increase, several new mills having been recently erected. Ware was the largest malting place in the kingdom, the duty paid being from 230,0001. to 260,0001. a year. Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire were the greatest consumers of artificial food for cattle in England. There was a large sale for barley at Hitchin ; in fact, nine Ware and Hertford dealers, of whom he was one, bought 38,000 quar ters last year. They comprised about halt' the number of dealers, the total amount bought by the whole for use at Hertford and Ware in the course of the year being about 60,000 quarters. The witness then detailed at length the great advantages which would be derived by the opening up of railway communication between Hertford and the north by the aid of the Direct Northern. The branch from Hat field to Hertford would not give anything like the accom modation the other line would between Hitchin and Hert ford, as there would be considerable delay in getting corn by that route. It was important that the Eastern Counties should be allowed to carry on their line from Hertford to Hitchin, in order to make it a through line between Leices ter and Bedford, in connexion - with the lines in the course of construction. It would create competition between the three lines, which he considered tended towards the ad• vantage of the public. A great proportion of the merchants of Bedford, Hitchin, Ware, Hertford, &c., would prefer the Shoreditch terminus, because it was nearer the Bank, Mark-lane, the docks, &c., than the Direct Northern and Birmingham stations. The breweries consuming the greatest quantity of malt were nearer the Eastern Counties than the other lines. When the proposed line was made the malt from Hertford, Bed ford, Norfolk, Essex, &c., would find its way by the Eastern Counties. The CHAIRMAN said the proposed line could not affect the passage of malt from Hertford to London by the Eastern Counties. Examination continued The extension of the Eastern Counties to the river wild be far su perior to that of the Great Northern to the docks ; for instance, coals were not taken into the docks owing to th• expense of the dues; and besides, it was always a disadvan tage to take goods from the docks, owing to the delay and to their closing at four o'clock, after which time a great quan tity of business could be done. It did not pay him to trade at St. Alban's; but as he had attended it a number of years he did not wish to break up " old connexions." Most of the corn merchants had left it, because the St. Albau's wheat was of an inferior quality. Mr. Mumford, clerk to a maltster, at Ware, gave corrobo rative evidence. Adjourned until to-morrow' (this day). GROUP XVIII. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock; present, Earl of Lincoln, in the chair,. Mr. W. J. O'Connell, Sir W. James, Mr. Smythe, and Captain Jones. CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD LINE. Mr. Warton, and several other gentlemen, gave evidence as to the reduction of the price of coals, which would ensue in the Forest of Dean when the railway is formed, as the cost of carriage would be reduced between three and four shillings a ton. The trade 'in corn would also be much in creased. There is at present a broad gauge line, which runs to the mouth of some of the pits in the Forest of Dean. One side of the forest is zit present accessible, but not the other. Mr. Baker said that The Monmouth and Hereford railway gave this accommodation, and there are several tramways which have been purchased by that company. This witness gave evidence as to tile arrangements which are to be entered into by the Great Western Company, for the purpose of giving a communication both to Hereford and Gloucester. Further evidence was then offered, and the Committee adjourned. GROUP XXI. The Committee met this morning at the usual hour; Sir James Graham in the chair. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER HAMPTON (HALSOWEN AND DUDLEY). v 117.0 DIEM IN GHAM,WO LVERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY (FROM STOURISRIDGE TO WEST BROMWICH). The Committee was occupied the whole) of the day in hearing the evidence of Mr. Brunel with respect to the first-mentioned line, of which he is the engineer, and which will be laid down on both gauges. He detailed at great length the railway wants of the district, and stated that it was of the utmost importance that the line should be worked in connexion with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, and the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, of which, strictly speaking, it was an integral poi.. tion. He drew a comparison between his line and the Stour Valley project of the North-Western, which he showed to be in favour of his line. The line was necessary to afford the required communication between the ma nufacturing and mineral districts of that portion of the country which it was proposed to traverse. 11is examination extended to the adjournment of the Com mittee until to-morrow (this day). GROUP SLEAl'Ore'D BRANCH. - --- The Committee met this morning at Twelve o'clock; Sir T. D. Acland in the chair. Captain Lawes's examintation was resumed, and stated that there would be no .diffict iltv in accommodating the traffic between the West Ridin; ;of Yorkshire and Norfolk. Much of the yarn used in the '...iorwich fabrics being open at Brad ford, in order to be finis tied at the former place. There would also be considerable shipments of stone, he had no doubt, both at Sutton and Lynn. The Ambergate line, he asserted, was to be a single line; b•at Mr. Sergeant CLA•:tx stated that this was a mistake, as the line was to be a dou We one, and all the contracts were already made. and the Mr. West, a landed gentleman, residing at Lincoln, stated that he wa s i n ti mately acquainted with the district property around Sl ea f or d . H e a l so attended t h e Wakefield market, and ceul.d say that a great part of the produce from that porti on of Lincol;shire went there for sale. Of Lynn he taking Spalding; a cir c l e , of Sleaford, the c hi ef m is that t own , an d if th e b ranc h es which the radius was seven m i les from were constructed the land woultl be rendered much more GROUP XLVII. The Committee on this group met to day in Room 28. Members 'present—Mr. Eliot Yorke, Chairman; ;11r. Gill, Mr. Parke, :1:r. Leigh, and Mr. Trelawny. AIRDRIE AND 33ATHGATE JUNCTION (AMENDMENT AND DEVIATIONS). Mr. FORSYTH, fur the Monkland Railway Company, raised a preliminary objection to the further progress cf the Bill in this Committee on various grounds, and contended that it might be transferred to the Committee which had the Glas gow, Airdrie, and Monklands Railway under consideration. The Committee overruled the objection, and Mr. A. IWNKILL, (f the Scotch bar, proceeded to open the case for the promoters. Owing to the hurry of badness in the last year, the engineers of the line had found it imprac ticable to arrive at that result which would best benefit the public, and enable the company to construct their line at the least possible cost, and they therefore desired to amend their Act, so that by a slight deviation they might get rid of a bad and dangerous curve, and save an expense of at least 10,000/, 'Mr. BURKE, who appeared for the directors of the original Airdri e and Bathgate Railway, as petitioners against the proposed amendments, was proceeding to state the objections which his clients entertained on this matter, when The CHAIRMAN said that the whole opposition appeared to the Committee to be one which could be very fitly arranged by a clause. The room was cleared for the purpose of considering the terms of the clause, and on the public being re-admitted, The CHAntmAN announced that the Committee had re solved that a clause should be inserted in the Bill, reserving to the original promoters the powers given by the Act of 1846. The formal proofs were then put in, and the clauses were partly considered. The Committee adjourned without formally announcing the finding the preamble proved, in consequence of the re port not having been received. GROUP L. This Committee met to-day at Twelve o'clock ; Mr. Bankes in the chair. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR, AND GLASGOW AND BE.PAST UNION (No X.) The remaining clauses of this Bill were this morning pro ceeded wish. Several amendments were made respecting the branch to Ayr Harbour, North Quay, to the use of rae power, and regulating the crossindol roads upon a level. A considerable discussion arose on the mineral toll clause, respecting which Mr. Gordon petitioned. Mr. Wilson, of Dundyvan, and Lir. Stevenson, manager of Mr. Gordon's works, were examined by Mr. Sergeant Murphy, with the object of showing that the operation of the six-mile clause would operate injuriously on Mr. Gordon, and that it was unjust to make an exemption, such as proposed, on the portion of the line between Auchinleck and Glenbuck. After some discussion on this point, the exempting portion of the clause was struck out, and the six-mile proviso made to operate throughout. The remainder of the clauses, with the exception of one, was then gone through, and agreed to with certain amend ment& The further consideration of the Bill was then postponed till Monday. GLASGOW, PAISLEY. KILMARNOCK, AND AYR. (No. IX.) Was then proceeded with. Mr. TALBOT opened the case on behalf of the promoters. Having stated the progress of the Glasgow and Ayrshire Company since its first opening in 1840, and the various branches and extensions they had already made, he pro ceeded to state the object of the present Bill. It proposed to carry out the following objects ;—Amendment of Acts and proposed branches from the Cumnock Extension Line of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Avr Rail way to Loudoun Kirk ; from such branch to East Cul lery ; from the Kilmarnock and Troun Railway to the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan Railway near Bushton; from such last-mentioned Branch to the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, aid Ayr Railway near Woodhill ; from the Branch to Bushton above described to Fenwick ; from such last-mentioned Branch to the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan Railway near Braes ; from the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway to the Ardrossan Railway near Byrehill, and to Ittington ; from the Branch to Ittington above•m?ntioned to Giffordland ; the Alteration of the Line of the Swinlees Branch of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr . Railway ; the Formation of new Branches from such altered line to Howrat Toll, and to Ilillend ; also the acquisition of additional land for stations at Kil marnock, Busby, and Daisy, and th e a lt erat i on or stoppage of certain roads at Kilmarnock. They were opposed by the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan Railway Company, who had several branches before the Committee, which com peted with several of the branches now proposed. The length of the whole extensions was twenty-six miles, and the esti mated cost was 425,0001. The Committee then GR adjoOUPurned LI.l til Monday, at twelve. AYR AnD DUIV/FItIESSIIIRE DISTRICTS. The Committee on this group met this day in Room No. 29 ; present, Sir J. Yarde Buller (Chairman), Captain Plum ridge, Mr. Tollemache, Lord J. Manners, and Mr. Newdegate.

Was to have been taken, but as Mr. Andrews iuireated that it might be po:Aponed, as he telt himself so seriously indis posed, that he feared, if he attempted to speak at that length that he should be obliged to do, to explain the objects of the promoters, it would bring on a serious illness. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM, Gil the part of the opponents, assented to the request of the Learned Counsel, and the Committee having no other business before them, adjourned till Monday.

Mr. ROLT, at the sitting of the Court this morning, said he was instructed to make an application to his Lordship on the behalf of Mr. Dyce Sombre. That gentleman had been re siding in Paris since the matter bad been before the court, and he was very anxious that the question involved in his petition, for the supersedeas of the commission, should be disposed of; he had therefore instructed him (Mr. Rolt) humbly to request of his Lordship that he would give his judgment on an early day. The LoaD CHANCELLOR intimated that he would dispose of the case shortly. IN THE MATTER OF SPENCE. This case, which came before the Court upon the petition of a father to have the custody of his infant children, was, upon the application of counsel to-day, ordered to stand on the paper for hearing on Wednesday next. The Louis CMINCELLOIi having disposed of the unopposed lunatic petitions in his paper, proceeded to hear the further arguments iu the part-heard appeal motion of MOSELEY V. ALLSToN. This case our readers will recollect came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, overruling a demurrer put in by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill. Upon previous days Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Stewart, Mr. B olt, and Mr. Russell were heard in support of the appeal, and Mr. Bethell and Mr. James Parker in defence of the judgment of the Court below, and, Mr. Wmcox, who had been partly heard on Wednesday, on the same side, resumed and concluded his arguments to-day. Sir FITZROY KELLY replied. The Lon]) CHANCELLOR said he would giva judgment (SI Wednesday next. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, April 23. (Before the VICE-CIIANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard unop posed cau se petitions, short causes, and motio ns t o -d ay , none of which possessed any points of public interest. COURT OF QUEEIV'S BAIVCH, April 23. Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and a full Court.) The Court was occupied during the whole day in hearing a motion of no public interest. COURT OF -EXCHEQUER April 23. (Sittings in Banco.) SOWLER V. SIMPSON. This was an action tried at the last assizes at Liverpool, before Baron Rolfe, when a verdict was entered for the plaintiff. Mr. MARTIN no w moved for a rule to show cause Why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. The plaintiff was the proprietor of a newspaper in Manches ter, and the defendant a provisional committeeman in the Lancaster and Newcastle Railway Company, and the action was brought to recover the amount of an account for the in sertion of advertisements connected with this railway com pany. The Learned Counsel contended that certain evidence should have been admitted at that trial, that would have entirely altered the result. The - CouaT was of a different opinion, and refused the rule. PARKER V. GREEN. Thi3 was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron at Guildhali, when a verdict was entered for the defendant upon the issue of Not Guilty, and for the plaintiff on the other issues. Mr. WutTEuuturr moved, on the part of the plaintiff, for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be aside, on the ground of misdirection and affidaVits. The action was brought for the infringement of a patent for certain improve ments in the process of finishing hosiery and other goods, manufactured from lamb's-wool, angola, and worsted yarn. The plaintiff purchased the patent some Sears ago from Mr. Bates, who took it out in 1836. The plea to the de claration was Not Guilty, and that the manufacture was not a new one. The question, however, was, whether the defendant was guilty or not of hill inging the specifica tion of the patent. The Learned Counsel contended that the machine used by defendant was merely a colourable imita tion, and, though slightly different in construction, was, in point of fact, the same thing, and was covered by the speci fication of the patent. The Court would take time to consider. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Apri/ 23. (Sitting in Banco.) The Court was occupied to-day in hearlrg arguments on lemurrers, which possessed no public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Bone, who was a few days since remandel upon the charge of obtaining, under false pretences, four gold watches and other valuable property belopging to Charles Joseph Maddell, was this morning brought before Mr. Arnold, the sitting magistrate, for final examination. By a singular coincidence, it appears that the prosecutor of Bone was subsequently taken into custody on tile charge of stealing a writing-desk, and since the incarceration of the latter, who was remanded at the Cleikenwell Police-court, the number of individuals who have been making inquiries respecting him, and who have been his victiffis, are in num ber almost incredible. It was, however, necessary that he should be brought to Worship-street this day, in order to give evidence against the prisoner Bone, and Hayward a warrant officer, accompanied by another constable was dis patched to Clerkenwell Police- court, where Maddell was for mally delivered over into their charge for that purpose. The depositions, preparatory to the full committal to New gate of the prisoner Bone, were ordered to be made out, and Maddell was reconducted to prison at Coldbath:Fields. WESTMINSTER. William Frazer and William Wilson were charged with insulting Lieut. F. A. Tracey, R.N., Governor of Tothill-fields House of Correction, and setting on a dog to attack his horse. Lieutenant Tracey said, he was proceeding along the Ilorseferry-road, Westminster, on horseback, at about half past three that afternoon, where he found a crowd of persons, which had been occasioned by a viqious dog, which he had since understood belonged to the defen dants, and which flew at several children and other per sons who were passing. As he was proceeding along, Frazer made the sort of noise used by persons to set a dog on, and the latter immediately attacked his horse and seized its legs. The horse, which was very fresh, became exceedingly restive, and it was with the utmost difficulty that he could prevent its going over some children who were running away in terror from the dog. Wilson at that moment made use of a most disgusting epithet to complainant, and then the defendants, who were in a cart, drove off at a furious r tte; but a constable (White, 100 B,) came up, and at great risk succeeded in stopping them. Mr. BRODERIP inquired whether the defendants had ever been in his custody? Lieutenant Tracey replied, that Frazer had been in his custody, he believed, both for felony and assaults. He had ro doubt that Wilson had also been confined in the prison. In answer to further inquiries, Lieutenant Tracey said, that the dog repeatedly flew at persons in the stroet and at his horse. The dog, which was unmuzz!ed, was a very ferocious animal,, and unfit to be at large. He considered the constable entitled to much praise ior his conduct. White proved that the defendants were driving very furiously, that a great number of persons had assemblrd, and that he saw the dog attack the horse repeatedly, en cour,:ged by the defendants to do so. Frazer declared that he was now endeavouring to get an honest living, and both defendants, in general terms, de nied the charge; but neither attempted to contradict the statement of their having been confined in Tothill-fields prison. Mr—BRODERIP said he should impose such a penalty ❑s would deter persons from putting the public in jeopardy by such ruffianly conduct. De endants were fi❑ed 40s. each, and, in default, com mitted fbr twenty-one days. SOUTH WARK. Mark Muchmore, the son of a respectable tradesman, who was committed some days sine , front this court for threatening to. shoot his father, ryas brought up from the county gaol for the purpose of being liberated on bail. It appeared that several articles had been stolen from the prisoner's sister, and amongst theris a valuable gold watch, which he was strongly suspected of taking ; and being interrogated by his father on the subject, he threatened to blow out the old man's brains, and actually prepared a loaded pistol for the purpose. The father, however, having previous intimation of the preparations making for depriving, him of existence, came off to this court, and immediate steps were taken to prevent it by the arrest of his sun. On that occasion prisoner was held to bail, and, not b-ing prepared with sureties, he was committed. Yesterday, however, two gentlemen attended to become his bail, aid the magistrate, observ ing from the prisoner's appearance that he was ex tremely ill, was informed that it was produced by the yi.ung man making a most determined attempt to com. mic suicide in gaol. For this purpose he got into a cor ner of his cell and endeavoured to strangle himself, and was on the point of effecting his object when one of the turnkeys, happening to hear the noise, ran to the spot and saved his life. The circumstance just narrated having been mentioned to the magistrate, and he having pointed out the risk the gentlemen who had offered to become the prisoner's sureties ran in consenting to it, they refused to do so, and the prisoner was therefore sent back to gaol ; and directions were given to watch him closely, to prevent a recurrence of such an act as that he had attempted to carry into effect. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTEIIDAY.) CORW.EXCEANGE. During the present week a very limited supply of Wheat of home produce has come to hand coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample. To-day the quantity of that de scription of Grain on offer was unusually small, owing to which, and to increased attendance of buyers, the demand was active, at an advance of from is. to in some instances 2s. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. A goad arrival of foreign Wheat has taken place, yet a large quantity was taken on French account at Is. to 2s. per quarter more money. Although the supply of foreign Barley was rod, the trade was firm, at full prices. The quantity of Malt on show was not large, yet the transactions were wholly retail, at unaltered currencies. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign Oats have come in. All kinds moved off readily, at Is. per quarter more money. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quits as dear, with a steady inquiry. ARRIVALS.
