(Tiffs DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP VI. YEOVIL, ERIDPORT, AND EXETER, &c. Evidence was called in favour of the Bleadon and Wells branch of the Great Western Railway. The witnesses examined were the Rev. Mr. Bradon, vicar of Chedder, Mr. Henry Davies, solicitor, of Weston-super- Mare, and Mr. Arthur Thomas Tanner, landowner in the ' neighbourhood of Sidcott, Somersetshire. Mr. Augustine Day, carcase butcher, residing at 'Meare, Mr. John Lewis, market-gardener, of \xbridge, Mr. Richard Lewis, woolstapler, of Axbridge, and Mr. H. Budgett, malt ster, of Chedder, also gave evidence in favour of the advantages to be derived from the scheme of the Great Western Railway, in that it would afford a more continuous line from the vari ous places in which they were interested to London. Mr. G. Cox, miller, of Chedder, and proprietor of the cele brated stalactite c avern i n t h at place, said that the con tinuation of the railway would bring an increased influx of visitors to his p ro p er ty. A t t h e conclusion of his examina tion he handed, with the utmost gravity and amid consi derable laughter, to the several members of the Committee a bill setting out the wonders of the cavern, and expressed to them the pleasure which he would derive by their paying a visit to the cave in question. Colonel Coles, magistrate of the county of Somerset, stated the importance of W ells being placed in connexion with the principal towns of Somersetshire, as proposel by the Great Western Railway schemes. The Committee then adjourned till twelve to-morrow. GROUP IX. WEST COI2:I7WALL (EIZANCEIES, &C.) The Committee met this morning. in Room 35, but were obliged to adjourn till Tuesday, as the Report of the Rail- way Commissioners had not been received. GROUP XL The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock; Mr. F. Mackenzie in the chair. BRAINTREE AND HALSTEAD. Mr. Waddington, deputy-chairman of the Eastern Coun ties Railway, was examined on behalf of the promoters. After some further evidence, the room was cleared. On the re admission of strangers, The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee found the preamble not proved. GROUP XV. CAMBRIDGE AND BEDFORD. The Committee on this group met this morning at twelve o'clock ; Mr. Bernal in the chair. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM AND NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE JUNCTION. Mr. Sergeant Ar..t.xis opened the case for the promoters of this line, and contended that the London and North- Western Railway Company had no locus standi in opposition to the preamble of the Bill. Mr. WHEELER, on behalf of the London and North- Western Company, maintained that that company had a right to oppose the Bill, as it would be prejudicial to their interests, was unnecessary and uncalled for, and would be injurious to the interests of the public. After some discussion, it was eventually decided that the London and North-Western Company had no locus standi in opposition to the preamble. Evidence was then adduced on behalf of the promoters of the line, and, after the examination of several witnesses to show the traffic which might be expected, that the engineer ing works were practicable, and that the estimates were sufficient for its construction, the room; was, cleared, and un our re-admission, The CILAIRMAR announced the DECISION, That the preamble of the Bill was proved." Some of the clauses were then agreed to, and the Commit- tee adjourned till Friday next. ansoa Valfey Railway. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION. Sir F. THESIGER gave notice, that on the motion for the further consideration of the report on the Bir mingham and Oxford Junction Railway, he should move that the report be further considered that day six months. Mr. Nash underwent a long cross-examination respecting the property of the several opponents of the line, whose case Mr. Gurney opened yesterday. He believed that the traffic on the line would not justify the outlay of so large a sum as 485,0001., and did not conceive that any outward traffic would countervail the local deficiencies of the line. A discussion here ensued as to whether the Committee would take the Royston and llitchin Railway as a com peting line, and after much discussion it was decided that they would not view it in that light. Mr. Nash was then asked by Captain PECHELL whether he did not conceive that the frequent elections at the two Universities would not render the formation of a line abso lutely necessary to make a direct communication between IT eastern and` western counties ? and the witness re plied that he did not think the proposed line was necessary tor that purpose, as the route was but little circuitous already. Captain La Wea stated that he was the manager of the London and York wlina:, not t t that the expense of the land owners' oppositi on which he was engaged, and he to be paid by the company for thecould point out a route which might be followed withoutapea slightest interference with the property of those who o t aosition to the Bill.

The Committee then took the con,lderat'en of tl.e branches. These branches being unopposed, the Committee de hied the preambles of both to be proved. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The reports of the following Bills were considered and agreed to:— Birkenhead Commissioners Dock Acts Amendment (Construction of New Docks and Alteration of Cul vert—Amendments to be proposed). Birkenhead Dock Company and Herculaneum Dock Company Amalgamation. Dunfermline and Cupar Court-houses. AGRICULTURAL TENANT-RIGHT BILL. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Agricultural Tenant-right Bill. SIEDICAL REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. BROTHERTON presented petitions in favour of the Medical Registration Bill. HEALTH OF TOWNS. Mr. BRIGHT presented petitions from Durham and other places, in favour of the Health of Towns Bill. Lord J. MANNERS replied—He said that the Hon. Member for Tamworth introduced his Bill without any of those objections offered by the Right Hon. Baronet having been urged against it, and he could not conceive why one thing was to be right in Ireland and entirely wrong in England. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading 2O Against it Majority -146 AGRICULTURAL TENANT RIGHT BILL. Mr. PUSEY presented a petition from the members of the Landowners and Fartners'Society, in favour of the Bill. The Hon. Gentleman stated that it was not his intention to proceed further with the Bill, The Right Hon. Member for Tamworth had stated, and he agreed with him, that the legislation at that period of the ses sion could not do anything which could satisfy the parties concerned. He hoped, therefore, to be allowed to withdraw the Bill. Sir ROBERT PEEL said the Hon. Gentleman could not look back on his course with auy b u t th e mos t pl eas • ing reflections, for his object had been to benefit the parties concerned, to promote the application of capital to agriculture, and to afford a just compensation to the farmer for the changes which had occurred. The course of the Hon. Gentleman did him great credit. The Bill was then withdrawn. LANDED PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT (IRE- LAND) BILL. On the order of the day for going into Committee on this Bill being read, Dr. BOWRING said that the Noble Lord had made great concessions, and if many more were made, the Bill would be of very little worth. He hoped that from henceforth the Noble Lord would show some of the virtue of resistance. He was supported by a great body of public opinion out of doors. Lord SANDON fully concurred in the sentiments of the last speaker; a great change could not be made with out its being prejudicial to some vested interests. Viscount MORPETH said that he left out London from the provisions of this Bill, not because he consi dered it less to want it than the city of Lincoln, but, be cause of its large size ; and he feared that by grasping at all he would have got nothing.—(Hear, hear.) Colonel SIBTHORP said, as the Noble Lord had not acceded to his suggestion, he would press his amend ment to a division. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but as there were only thirty-four Members present, the House adjourned. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING SIX. O'CLOCK.

It was intended to include those who were excluded from the Government measure. He wished to have the opinion of some Members of the Go vernment before going into Committee as to how far the Government were prepared to support it. Mr, MONAHAN (Solicitor-General for Ireland) said one of the provisions of the Bill, allowing the tenant for life to borrow money from the Government, was one the operation of which would require consideration, and he hoped the Hon.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER MR. JOHN BLOOD A note of woe is heard from Vera Cruz. That city, styled " the heroic," as well as the strong castle of San Juan de Ulloa, aro said to have fallen into the hands of the Americans, after a few days' bombardment by ;General Scott. As yet it is difficult to learn here any particulars of the surrender, but the public dejection is evidently very great. The forces of General Scott arrived late in the season on the coast The deadly scourge of the vomito appears generally in the present month; and he has now not a moment to lose in pushing his way to Jalapa, which he will perhaps not do without opposition. Peurto Nacional and Plan del Rio have to be passed, and both present natural obsta cles to the march of an army. The former has some forti fications, which have been thought impregnable by the Mexicans, but fatal experience has shown that they are not likely to prove so to the Americans. Attacking or attacked, the Mexicans seem fated to be defe sted. The battle of the Angostura was fought chiefly by American volunteers, who are described in a letter from Saltillo as a most undisciplined rabble ; yet Santa Anna, at the bead of his chosen troops, much more than double their number, was compelled to re treat before them. Already some indications of what is likely to occur have been shown at Santa Ft% near Vera Cruz, where General Romulo de la Vaya at tempted an attack on an American outpost, and was immediately abandoned by his troops. This officer has acquired an inconvenient sort of reputation ,by his con duct at Resaca de Guerrero, where he allowed himself to be made a prisoner, instead of running away, like the reit, for which Congress voted him a gold medal, and the most extravagant expections are entertained of his future exploits. Santa Anna has obtained per mission from Congress to resume the conatnand of the army, and now goes to undertake the most dan gerous of his campaigns. Of the 25,000 men as sembled at San Luis Potosi previous to the battle of the Angostura, probably not more than half are now in the ranks, and a part of those must be left to garrison San Luis. With national guards, militia, and volunteers. Santa Anna may be able to oppose about 15,000 men to General Scott, in the neighbourhood of Jalapa. Notwithstanding the dislike which Mexicans entertain tow ards all foreigners, and the tenacity with which every offer of peace from the Americans has been rejected, there is little show of war like enthusiasm here. Every Mexican, indeed, asserts that the war must be continued; but few are inclined to take any personal share in the contest, and still fewer to contribute to its expenses. A party, too, exists who desire the subjugation of the country, not from any love to a foreign yoke, but from disgust at their own internal dissensions, and a convic tion of the impossibility of their establishing a perma nent Government amongst themselves. This party, • under the mask of patriotism, will continue to augment the obstacles to peace, in order that the Americans may be forced to convert their invasion into a conquest. In the northern provinces the war has alreasy taken the latter form. The capital of the State of Chihuahua has been occupied by eight hundred Ameri cans. They were met (I cannot say opposed) by at least 3,000 Mexicans, who abandoned the field on receiving one volley of artillery. This little band of ad venturers is now threatening the populous capital of Durango. A strong American squadron has arrived at Ocapulco, and there can be no doubt that all the Mexi can ports on the Pacific will fall, like these on the At lantic, into the hands of the United States. Santa Anna has been authorised by Congress to name a deputy-president during his absence, in order . to ex clude Gomez Farias from a retu rn to power.-71vies.

On yesterday (Sunday), whilst the greater part of the family and servants of Mr. Blood Smith, of Castle-Fergus, near Newmarket, were at prayers, the female portion of the family at Ennis, and some of the servants at New market, a body of armed men entered the house and ascended to the back drawing .room where they found Mr. John Smith reading. They asked where his father was. He said he did not know. They replied he lied, and one of the banditti thereupon fired and hit him over the temple. A second shot wounded him in the side. Mr. Smith, sen., with Mr. Wallpate, jun. (of Castle- Connell), were in the lawn, and hearing the shots, Mr. Wallplate asked, what is that ? Mr. Smith replied, " Nothing, but John shooting crows." They then proceeded to the house and met the wounded young gentleman, who cried out I " The Terries have murdered me." Mr. Smith imme diately ordered Mr. Wallplate to horse for a surgeon and the police. The latter, though he could find in the stables only a " winker," instantly dashed off to New market for Dr. Evans and Mr. Head, Inspector of Police, who very promptly attended. Whether the shots took fatal effect is still doubtful, the account having been confusedly given, owing to his excitement on the occa sion, by Mr. Wallplate upon his arrival in Limerick, about four o'clock yesterday. It is certain, however, that Mr. Smith received a ♦ery severe wound in the top o' his head, which bled profusely. No trace whatever could be found of the assailants. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, MAY 11.—Since Friday there has been no improvement whatever in the state of our mar ket. 13oth spinners and manufacturers show a disposi tion to accept lower prices than they, were asking last week ; but buyers are not to be tempted by any concession in prices to enter into operations o f magnitude, and confine themselves entirely to such purchases as are necessary for the supply of immediate wants. The amount of business done is consequently quite insignificant. We hear that reductions of wages are taking place in some parts of the neighbourhood, but have not been able to collect any precise information on the subject. The hands of the three mills which stopped last week, in consequence of a proposed reduction, continue out. ROCHDALE, MAY 10.—There has been very little business done to-day in flannels, very few buyers hav ing attended, and pieces are very low. In wool there is little doing, and prices stationary. HUDDERSFIELD, MAY 11.—Our market continues in a very depressed state, and but few sales have been effected. Some parties conceive our present difficulties to be the drainage of money for railway purposes, and others to the exorbitant price provisions are attaining ; but all parties seem alarmed at the great advance in corn in yesterday's London markets. A fair amount of busi ness is doing among our woolstaplers. LEEDS, MAY 11.—We had an exceedingly still market to-day, and less has been doing than for some t i m e past. The fearful rise of br ea d stu ff s and provi sions in general, indicates the appr oac h o f yet severer '. • tunes than we have already witnessed for business.— Manchester Guardian. BIRTHS.

The Committee on this group assembled this morning at twelve o'clock; the Earl of Lincoln in the chair. Mr. Llewellyn, an extensive coal agent, and agent also for the Lord Lieutenant of the county where he resides, stated that there was an extensive coal-fold in the neigh bourhood of Newport, Abergavenny, and Pontypool. He should think upon a fair calculation that it comprised 104,000 acres, in which there were already a number of pits open and actively at work. Leaving out all the seams less than 18 irrles thick, he conceived that the bed of coal in the district could not be less than fifty feet in thickness, while the bed in the Forest of Dean was not more than 55 feet thick, and did not exceed 16,000 acres in extent, of which only 7.000 acres covered the best coal. The coal in the Forest of Dean could not be sold for less than 7e. a ton at the pit's mouth, while the coal about Pontypool would be raised for 4s. 6d. a ton, and sent to Newport . GROUP XXVI. This Committee resumed this morning the consideration of the merits of the NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE (CHURN ET VAL— LEY LINE AND TRENT VALLEY JUNC— TION). DECISION. Mr. Ricardo, M.P. was examined, and d e p ose d to t h e great advantage which would result from the construction of the proposed line. die stated that it would give a through passage traffic from Manchester to London, and avoid the Potteries, by which two miles would be saved, and thus leave those crowded districts for the goods traffic. Mr. Bidder, C.E., was, next examined, and stated that the engineering difficulties were of the usual character, and pre sented no insuperable obstacles. After the examination of several other witnesses, The Committee declared that the preamble of this Bill was not proved. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to morrow. GROUP XXVII.

Earl FITZWILLIAM gave general evidence in favour of this scheme. A number of other witnesses from the locality of the lines bore testimony to the great benefit the adoption of the scheme would confer on the trade and commerce of the district through which the several lines would pass, and to the importance which the population of those districts attached to the various railways being placed under one management. The whole of the day was occupied with this description of evidence. GROUP XXXIV.

Lord JOHN MANNERS in moving the second read* ing of the Pious and Charitable Trusts Bill, said that his object was to repeal the Act of 1736, called the Mortmain Act, which he would prove was subversive of the spirit of the law of England, and totally inconsistent with justice. From the Reformation to 1736, the people of this country enjoyed perfect freedom to bequeath their property to any charitable purposes they thought fit, and it was only by that Act which he sought to re peal they were prevented from doing so ; an Act which he contended was at variance with every principle of the English law, which he undertock to prove to the House. The Noble Lord then read several extracts from Lord Hardwicke's life of Sir Robert Walpole. The effect of these extracts went to show that the Mortmain Bill was passed in opposition to the Church and the bishops. Here, then, they had it avowed by Lord Hardwicke, who made the ablest speech for the second reading of the Bill, that the great reason which induced Parliament to pass it was jealousy of the Church and a desire of lawyers to increase litigation. There was not one word about the great evils which the preamble of the Bill stated. He had proved that this Bill was subversive of the ancient spirit of the country. It was rather an attack upon the Church than anything else. He thought then that the House would agree to repeal this most un charitable Act, which had worked its full share of mis chief. The mischievous effects of this law were visible in every part of the metropolis. Ask the child of ignorance and sin in Manchester why does he pursue the paths of shame, and he will answer that the pious intentions of charitable persons have been frustrated by the operation of this Act. It %li all very well to say to a rich man, divest yourself of the wealth you intend to bestow in charity dating your life time, but it was a very hard thing to say to a poor man who could not thus strip himself, and who had no near relations. It is said that this Act guarded the death-bed of the rich man ;it did no such thing. The death-bed of the rich man was still as open as ever. Did it guard it from the undue solicitations of the pimp, the pander, the mistress, or the prostitute ; the death bed was still open to every undue solicitation, s ave that of Christian charity. He could show that landed property could be as beneficially managed for the public as any other. It was urged that this Act prevented the tying up of property in the Church. Well, for the sake of the poor, he would yield to everything of the semblance of truth in such an argument, and he would consent that the property so bequeathed should only be enjoyed for a certain number of years, and then sold fur the benefit of the poor.—(Hear.) He concluded by appealing to the House, in the name of the poor, the blind, the halt, and the lame, to whom the Gospel was not preached, by reason of the baneful working of this Act, to grant him the second reading of the Bill. The Noble Lord then resumed his seat amid loud cheers. Sir GEORGE GREY said that, upon a full considera tion of the principles of the Bill of the Noble Lord which was rejected last year, of the rejection of that Bill, and of the principles somewhat modified of the present Bill, he must still offer his opposition to the second reading of the Bill. The Noble Lord, in his speech, had dwelt strongly on the Act of the 9th of George the Second, as if that were the Mortmain Act. Why, there had upon been a num b er of Acts in existence f or many y ears pre vious bearing this t subject or ign a . l l y the Act o f 17th George? The preamble showed that it was intended aliena tiontththeeeflect of of land f or charitable Wtohpartewveans prevent the Acts evasions of A purposes, but to previo us l y ex i st i ng, which forbade the alienation of property, and unlawfully disinheriting were clearly not prohibited from giving their property for charitable purposes. The pro- ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. 1 Mr. ROMILLY said he would not press this Bill during the present session ; but he would postpone it till this day week, and on Tuesday next he would move for a Committee to inquire into the operation of the law on Roman Catholic charitable trusts. The sccond reading was then postponed to this day week. POOR-RATES (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill went through Committee pro forma. On bringing up the report, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, who had risen at the moment when the Speaker was leaving the chair, said he wished to have entered his strong protest against this Bill, and to have moved that it should b 3 committed that day six months. He protested against any change in this matter now, after what had passed upon the subject during the present session ; and, second, against a private Aember of the House dealing with so weighty a matter, and he called upon the G overnment to come forward and state their opi nion upon the principle on which rating ought to be founded in Ireland. Ile therefore moved that the report should be received that day six months. Sir GEORGE GREY said he had stated shortly the grounds on which he agreed to the second reading of the Bill at that time. Ile thought the Bill was one of considerable importance, and when in Committee it came before them clause by clause he would state his opinion, But he was not prepared to say that the law at present was in a satisfactory state, nor did be mean to say that the principle of voting ought to continue as it was, or to be subjected to change. Mr. YOUNG thought the Bill was either a very ridi culous one, or one that would not be practicable. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD thought the House would grant him a hearing for a very few moments. He had p roposed to expunge the 6th clause, not because he thought it bettor to expunge that clause from his own view of its merits, but from the opposition that had been made. In all cases the tenant was compelled to pay the rate, with right afterwards to deduct it from the rent, but the tenants were so com pletely in the hands of the landlord and agent that they were not able to get back that portion of the rate to which they were entitled. That had been stated to him from good authority. He alluded to what had been stated respecting the Earl of Wicklow's (state. The valuation of their land was justly lower than the rent, which had a most beneficial effect up( n rack-renting landlords, but he thought that it was most unjust to charge the tenant more than his due proportion of the rate. The country would be deceived if it supposed that the pre sent rate could be collected, or, in a word, that a rate could be collected when no means of paying it existed. It was high time that a different mode of levy ing rates should be adopted. The high courts of law then might appoint a receiver on the estates of those who did not act justly. Hu would not give up the other clauses of the Bill. RATIIKEALE. Yesterday morning one troop of Artillery, with two guns, two companies of the 59th, and a body of the Bth Hussars, under the command of Colonel Cator, proceeded to Rathkeale, in consequence of an apprehended rising in that district. There were reports in town last night of a col lision having occurred between the people and the troops, and that five men were shot. This morning, on inquiry, we found that this was not true, and that all was quiet. At Nantenant, however, the residence of Mr. Roy 80, an attack was made—twelve stand of arms were taken, and property, chiefly consisting of provisions such as bacon. The accounts from Ennis are of a tranquil character. A :;r ~ t.
