The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled in Room 30, at the usual hour this morning; Lord Granville Somerset in the chair. TZII SOUTH-EASTERN KENTISH SCHEMES. Mr. Stephenson's cross-examination by Mr. TALBOT was brought to a close this morning. His evidence in chief re mained unshaken. Mr. Stephenson was cross-examined by Mr. HorE, on be half of Sir Percival Hard Dyke, but, all that was elicited was, that the South-Eastern Mid Kent line of last year, was on a par with the Brighton scheme of this year. The pre sent South-Eastern scheme, however, in every point of view, was superior to either. Sir Percival Hard Dyke was the cc cupier of a park on the Mid Kent line, which would cost the South-Eastern Company 100,0J0/. to avoid. Mr. Burton, the architect, was called to prove that the railway would do none but imaginary injury to Sir. P. H. Dyke's house and park. The Committee adjourned at half-past four till te-morrow at twelve. GROUP XII. Thin •Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, the Hon. W. S. Lasoelle a in the chair. TZB: c IiZEITEIRFORD AND NZWIVIARILET (EIXTEN"...._ 2ait TO THETrom), WITH AND ; 1 1;7 . TO BURY ST. EDMUNDS • The Committee, on assembling to-day, proceeded with the clauses of the two Bills of Chesterford and Newmarket Company, the preambl e of the had been proved on Tues day last. Mr. Ausnw tendered several cla u ses in behalf of th e Company,the Ip s wich in rel a ti on to shouldjunction which the make with th e Chesterford and Newmarket Railway at their stationmatters at Bury St line of the former com panys me other Edmunds, or in relation to Mr. Ilitp•rhian objected to Mr. Austin bein g e h co mpany for which the Ho n. Member eard. Th e appeared had been defeated, and therefore be had no locus standi. The Committee decided that the clauses should be taken into consideration. The first clause, which regulated the junction at Bury St. Edmunds, was agreed to ; also, the compelling the comple tion of the line in five years, or, in default, that they should not be entitled to charge tbr any such portion of the line that remained unfinished. The other clauses proposed were rejected. - The remaining clauses of the Bills were then agreed to. NIIINITMARSZT AND CHESTEP,rOII.I3 RAIZ WAY AIVIENDMONT ACT, &C. This was an application to Parliament made by the Eastern Counties Company, to repeal a clause in the New market and Chesterford Act, obtained last s essio i , which gave the latter company a right to run over the Eastern Counties line from Cambridge and Chesterford to London. It was alleged that the Eastern Counties line had received no notice of the intention to propose such a clause, and had not been parties to it. Mr. AUSTIN opened the :case, stating briefly the object of the Bill. Mr. TYRRELL, the solicitor of the .Newmarket and Chester ford Company, was heard in reply. The Committee decided in favour of the Bill. The CuAla3tAs was then instructed to report the Bills, with the amendments, to the House. This having closed the business of the Committee, the Members separated. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) The Commitee met this day at the usual hour for the dis patch of public business. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. EDINBURGH AND PERTH RAILWAY. This case came again before the attention of the Com mittee, having been adjourned for further consideration on two previous occasions. After hearing a number of wit nesses, the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with, and the Bill was allowed to proceed. The Committee then adjourned at four o'clock. SHREWSBURY and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) The second ordinary general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held this day at the London Tavern; the Hon. Mr. Clive in the chair. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling the meeting, submitted the report, from which we make the fol lowing extracts : " The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company, which was announced at the last mural meeting, has since been completed by the registratiot of class B shareholders, who are now required to elect six directors, being one-third of the maximum number prescribed by the Act of Incorporation, and to fix the remuneration to be paid to the same. The agreement between the two companies stipulates that each shall pay its own expenses prior to amalgamation ; but as this would have been cancelling so much of the capital of the two companies without any advantage to either, and would be unfair to the shareholders in the event of the line being hereafter leased or sold to any other company, it was agreed to credit the shareholders of class B shares with the full deposit originally paid by them, and to charge the ex penses of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company to the joint scheme between Shrews bury and Wolverhampton, in which both classes of share holders are equally interested. On the same principle, the directors consider that the bonus of 26,000/. obtained on amalgamation with the Dudley and Madeley Company should be added to the capital of class A shareholders, instead of its being deducted from the expenses incurred up to the date of incorporation, which will then appear at the amount actually expended. In conformity with this opinion, a resolution will be submitted to the present meeting, adding 10s. per share to the paid up capital of class A share• holders, which, if the same is adopted, will hereafter stand in the company's books at 31. 10s. per share. The proportion of expenses incurred by this company in respect ofthe Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line has been duly claimed in virtue of the agreement between the two com panies, but the items constituting the same, and amounting to 33,6841. Bs. 4d., have not yet been examined, and consequently the claim has uot yet been agreed to by the Stour Valley Com pany. The directors of thiscompany,however, have considered the amount claimed as forming part of the first call of 21. 18s. per share made by the Stour Valley Company, and having paid the difference, the balance-sheet of this company shows the sum of 0,3751. as contributed towards the capital sub scribed by class A shareholders. The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire company being completed, the authorised subscribed capital of the company will stand as follows: " Class A shares, representing one-half of the capital, to be raised between .;hrewsbury and Wolverhampton, viz And amount authorised to be subscribed towards the capital of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Company, `•i7 ... 300,000 Together .. or .1.:/. is. 9.1. per share. Class B. Shares, representing the other half of the capita:, to be raised between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, Tiz 500,000 or 91. 12s. 3d. per share. Total capital ... The directors are proceeding with the main line as fast as the nature of the works will admit. The contracts for the part between Shrewsbury and Wellington (held jointly with the Shropshire Union Company), and for the part between Wellington and Shiffnall, have both been let to respectable contractors under the Parliamentary estimates. The directors have made a call of 1/. 15s per share on class B shares, payable on the 15th April ; and it is intended to make a call of 21. 10s. per share on class A shares, payable in August next ; it is expected that no further call on class :1; shares will be required this; year, although that must depend on the progress made with the works both of this company and thane of the Stour Valley Company. Interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum will be payable on the deposit aed calls ; but no interest will accrue in reepect of calls in arrear. Interest warrants to the 13th inst., when the transfer books were closed Iviil be isetted on the 10th April." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, apologised for the absence of Mr. Gore, the chairman of the company, who was unavoidably kept away by illness. He congratulated the meeting that they had the good fortune of uniting with their opponents, . and they were now engaged in effecting one common object. He trusted the result would be beneficial to the public and the proprietors. He was glad to state that they bad a balance of 84,5971. to proceed with their future operations. In August next there would be a call made, which was strictly in con formity with the promises held out by the directors. He was also happy to congratulate the meeting on the circumstance ' that ss. per share had covered the expenditure, which was just one-half of what had been estimated. The Honourable Chairman having adverted to the future proceedings of the company, as detailed in the report, moved the adoption of the report and its circulation. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The CliAlt3fAN then moved that the sum of 10s. per share received as a bonus on amalgamation with the Dudley and Madeley Companies, be added to the paid-up capital of class A shareholders. This resolution was unanimously agreed to. SPECIAL MEETING. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors the draft of a )proposed Bill to enable the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com pany to make branch railways to Madeley and Ironbridge, and to join the London and IN orth-Western Railway, and for other purposes. Also for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors of class A shares the proposed terms of a lease of the Birming ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railway Company to the London mid North-Western Company. Also for the purpose of class B shareholders electing direc tors and fixing the remuneration to be paid to the same. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution, sanctioning the proposed Madeley and Ironbridge line, which was unani mously agreed to. The Climax...4,x then put the next resolution, " That this meeting does not concur in the terms of lease of the Birming ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line to the London and North-Western Company, as provisionally agreed upon by the directors of those two companies, and empowers the directors of this company to oppose the same in Parliament." The resolution was unanimously agreed to. It was also moved that six gentlemen be added to the directors of the company by class B shareholders, and that the remuneration to be paid to the same be 5001., which was agreed to. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THAMES HAVEN AND DOCK COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) An adjourned meeting of this company was held to-day at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at one o'clock; Mr. Esdaile in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, a report was made to the meeting, the substance of which is as follows :—The directors congratulated the share holders on the improved prospects of the concern since the last meeting, and stated that there was every probability that capitalists might now be induced to take an interest in the undertaking. The ground for the dock has already been purchased, and as it would be advisable to have a rail way from Orsett to Tilbury, a distance of five miles, the directors had to state that the Eastern Counties Railway Company have projected a line from Ilford to Tilbury, which the shareholders were recommended to give a vigorous oppo sition to in Parliament. On the whole it was believed that the concern was both prosperous and promising. The amount of money received on deposits and calls, and from other resources, is 30,4801. 19s. 7d. The money expended has been—for preliminary expenses, 895/. I.s. 7d.; for Par • liamentary expenses,.l,697/.lls. ; law expenses, 3,9141.95. 7d. ; for purchase of land, 4,8:331. 175.; excavation and expense of contractors, 3,0261. 4s. 7d. ; snaking up with the other inci dental expenses and salaries of officers an outlay of 30,433/. 9s. 10d., leaving a balance of cash in hand of 44i. 9s. 9d. After some little discussion the report was unanimously adopted. Ii was then proposed that J. Barclay, EN., Robert Ewart . Norman, Esq., and Benjamin Bill, E sq .. the dir ec to rs re tiring by rotation, be re-elected,', but on an amendment being put by Mr. Merritt, Louis Pocock, Andrew Inderwick, and J. W. West, Esqs., were substituted for them. The CHA IRMA N then proposed a resolution, that the scheme of the Eastern Counties Railway Company for a line from Ilford to Tilbury be strenuously opposed in Parliament. This resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. AMSINCK objected to the legality of the meeting,as,ac cording to his view, it was necessary that the directors should have the written consent of every one of the old sharehold ers to render its proceedings legal. Besides, many of the shares had been issued at a discount. Mr. CHADWICK thought that this was no ground of objec tion, for it was! a notorious feet that many companies had issued their shares at a discount, and, to announce no other, he might allude to one of the Sheffield companies. Mr. AMSINCK complained that hia share had been sold with out his consent, and contended that none of their proceedings could be legal, inasmuch as they never had had a sufficient number of shareholders to legalise any meeting. After some further discussion, the new directors expressed their willingness to accept the office to which they had been appointed. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved.

(From the London :Yew Price Current allarch26.) SuoAß.—To•day a further fall ensued in tho value of nearly every sort of Colonial Sugar, the quantity brought to market being more than the home trade could take off. Of West India Muscovado, the small quantity only of 200 hhds and tierces found buyers at lower rates, making the total sales for the week only 500 hhds and tierces, and the fall Is . during that time. REiI\ED.—To• day no further rise took place in the value of Refined Sugar, but all sorts are wanted for home use at former rates, and the supply is scanty. Bonded Crushed Sug:r is with difficulty to be obtained under 375. per cwt. for first quality, so scanty is the supply, and large the orders on band unexecuted. MAURITIUS. —This afternoon two parcels of Matnitius Sugar, amounting to 11,429 bags, 339 casks and 90 trcs were submitted to public competition, a fair proportion of which consisted of strong working descriptions; for even these there was less demand, and prices fell Is per cwt, yellow sorts met with little attention, and the sates taken were is to Is 6d per cwt under those of Tuesday's sale, on brown the fall Is. The chief part of the Sugar, however, sold. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 818 bags and 76 chests of Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, and sold at about the former value. Madras is little wanted, and 1,413 bags at auction were taken in at moderate rates. FOAEIGN.—To-day there was no public sale, and pri vately only 150 cases of brown Macao were sold at 23s 6d per cwt. MOLASSES.—By private treaty there is only a limited de mand for West India; at public sale 171 puns Demerara were taken in at 23s for middling quality; 125 puns of Barbadoes at 25s for good ; 58 puns of St Kitts at 235, and 68 puns 6 hhds St Vincents at 245, being about the former value. COFFEE.—This afternoon two parcels of Ceylon Coffee were submitted to public competition, and amounted to 1,550 bags. There was little desire shown to purchase, and a part only sold at a fall on former rates at 6.1 to Is. TEA.—AII kinds arc cheaper than they were at this period in 1846, notwithstanding the large consumption. Cengou met with little attention, although there are sellers at mode.• rate rates. Pouchong is little wanted. For Souchong the demand has teen limited. The better descriptions of Young Hyson have been operated in with more freedom, and the parcels sold were at full rates. Of the lower sorts of Green large parcels have been sold, owing to the low rates that have been taken ; in good and fine a fair business has been done at about late prices. Rica.—To-day the market was in a dull state for East India Rice; and 1,304 bags Madras at auction were takes in Is under former prices, viz., good yelluw rather dusty, Bengal grain, 18s to 18s 6d per cwt. Sricx.s.—Although Black Pepper can be obtained rather under previous rates, still all qualities have been operated in with caution privately for hom consumption as well as for exportation. White met with little attention by private treaty; at publicsale 11 bags were sold at 31d. to 40. For Cassia Lignea prices rule firm, the demand being good and supply small. The arrivals keep small, and the stock is less than last year; but the deliveries are smaller, and prices are fully as high. The high rates insisted upon for Pimento caused the home and export demand to be limited this week by private treaty. At public sale 40 bags wore taken in at 5%d for mid rather coarse, 5d was offered. For Ginger the market is im proving ; the demand privately has been good for all sorts. For Nutmegs the home demand is good, and exporters have baen buyers to a fair extent. Mace is wanted. Also the better sorts of Cloves, In the valve of Cinnamon there is no vriation to notice; the inferior and coarse sorts are ne glected, but good and fine are in fair request, and the supply is small. Fautr.—There has been several fresh arrivals lately of Currants, three cargoes of Chesme and Red Smyrna Raisins, and a cargo of Valencia Raisins from Liverpool ; the market has been rather quit this week, the exporters taking only small parcels of Currants. Of old Red Smyrna Raisins some sales have been made at 31s 6d to 32s for shipping. SPIEtITS.—The nearest value of Leeward Island is 38 6d to 3s 8d for proof strength; but the amount of business transacted has been trifling. East India is heavy of dig.. posal, and can be obtained at 3s 4d for proof with certificate. The business concluded in Jamaica has been trifling in all sorts, and prices are nominal. In Demerara scarcely any purchases have been made, and the nearest value of strong is 4s 10d to 5s per gallon. The stock of Brandy bas been fur ther increased, and there are sellers upon reduced terms. Geneva is wanted for exportation, and several parcels have been said, common at 2s 7d to 2s 8d ; fine at 3s to 3s 6d per gallon. For British Corn Spirits and Gin prices remain the same. OILS.—For Linseed Oil prices have slightly given way. Rape Seed Oil cannot be quoted higher, but many parcels have been sold. Olive met with less attention, still holders remain firm, on account of the moderate stock. Of Cocoa Nut, holders are enabled to obtain the high rates of 47s to 50s per cwt. for fair to Of Palm holders are inclined to realise, but the purchases made have been to a small extent. Lard Oil is in fair re quest, at 45s to 50s. For Sperm a much better demand pre vailed, and prices have improved. For Cod Oil the limited business transacted was at 271 5s to 271 10s. Seal is little wanted. Southern has been disposed of to a fair extent, but not at better prices. TALLow.—Prices have further given way for Russian on the spot, and the demand has been limited from soap makers and chandlers all the wetk ; 503-6 d to 51s per cwt. are the prices accepted for fine Petersburgh yellow candle, For deli very in the last three months of the year, the demand is however good and quotations range firm at 46s 6d per cwt. Home-made is little wanted, and there are sellers at 49s 6d to 50s net cash, the supply being on the increase. For other sorts of Tallow the market is in a dull state, and prices are lowering. IMPE RI AL PA RLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) ROUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. NATIONAL RATING. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Ax minster, praying for an alteration in the laws relating to the removal of the poor, and substituting a national rate on all real and personal property. POOR REMOVAL ACT. Lord BEAU NIONT presented petitions from the board of guardians of the Hartsmere and Goole Unions, in the counties of Suffolk and Yorkshire, praying that greater effect might be given to the Poor Removal Act of last session, by enlarging the area of settlement. The NOBLE LORD also presented a petition frem'Goole, in favour of an efficient poor-law for Ireland, the peti tioners complaining that their rates had been greatly in creased by the recent inundation of Irish poor into that district. FRAUD ON LORD COLVILLE. Lord COLVILLE, who spoke in a very indistinct tone of voice, complained of a fraudulent and false as sumption of his title by an individual calling himself Lord Colville, of Ochiltree. We understood the Noble Lord to say, that this ihdividual, without any right to the privileges of a Peer, made use of this pretence to obtain his liberty from imprisonment under the sheriff of Middlesex in which he succeeded, and went down to Scotland and voted at the late election of a representative peer for that country. The Noble Lord contended there was not a vestage of a claim which that individual could suggest in palliation of his conduct. Lord ROSEBERY understood the general nature of this case from a private communication, and believed that his Noble Friend could not do that which he de sired to do. By the resolutions of which he was the au thor and which had unanimously passed the House inj 822, no person except the son or other lineal descendant, or the brother or a Peer of Scotland, could vote for the election of a representative of the Peers of that country, without first coming before the House and proving his right to vote. The Noble Lord could not, therefore, summon the perscn to the bar of the House ; and the better plan would be to move for a copy of the proceed ings of the late election, and when it was laid upon the table a Committee could be instituted to investigate the whole of the circumstances. W hen the House had adopted the resolutions, they had taken no measures to purify the list of the peers of Scotland ; end if, there fore, the party had voted in right of being a lineal de• scendant of a former Lord Colville, it would be impos sible to arraign him for the fault with which he WR charged. Lord BRA UGHAMconceived that no other course . eould ,be adopted than that which has been recommended by his Noble Friend. As the law at present stood any man I might walk into Holyrood House, and tender hie vote, as a matter of course, without any one having the power to prevent its being taken. The only alteration that had been made by the resolutions of 1622 was to prevent persons beyond a certain degree of relationship frcm voting, but they did not and could not prevent personation, nor could the House amend the evil, for it was only in case of a contested election that the House had any right to scrutinise the vote. The LORD CHANCELLOR conceived that the better plan would be to consider the future rather than care about the past. As the law at present affected the case, it could not interfere with the personation of a brother of a peer. It was true that before a pet r was able to vote he must come before the Chancellor and prove the right to his title before a writ could be issued. Lord CAMPBELL assured the Noble Lord opposite that a usurpation of a title gave no legal right what ever, and the Noble Lord was wrong in supposing that the Courts of Westminster entertained the case of an individual because he bad been allowed to vote for the election of a Scotch Peer. The Courts at Westminster grunted a rule to show cause on that ground, but there cause never was shown. In his opinion a law ought to be passed requiring that no individual should be allowed to vote until he bad made good his title. Lord COLEVILLE gave notice that on Monday he would move for a return of the Peers who voted at the recent election. The subject then dropped. IRISH POOR-LAW. The Marquis of SALISBURY presented several peti tions in favour of an extended system of poor-laws for Ireland. GOVERNMENT EDUCATIONAL GRANT. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented several petitions from places in Lancashire and Yorkshire, against the proposed grant of the Government for the purposes of education. Among them was one signed by 25,000 of the inhabitants of Leed. The petitioners emphatically denied that it was the right or the duty of Government to interfere with the education of the people. To that he would answer that if it was not the right or the duty of the Government to interfere, neither was it the right or the duty of private individuals. But if; on the other hand, it was right for individuals to interfere, he apprehended it was also right for the Govern ment. The petitioners net only stated this, but went further, and stated that voluntary efforts were quite sufficient for the education of the people. If this were correct, then ought every person in the country to be educated; but if they were not then it was clear voluntary efforts had not been sufficient. Lord BROUGHAM presentcd a petition from a con gregation of Protestant Dissentt-rs in Suffolk, against the same grant. Ile found, on looking at the petition, that it contained the names of more ladies than (Hear, hear.) The petitioners stated that they decidedly protested agairst the measure as unconstitutional ; favouring th Established Church against the Dissent ing sects, and exercis!tig a tyranny over the 'teachers who accepted the grant. The Noble Lord also pre sented a petition from Barnes, in the county of Hert ford, against the Poor Removal Act. IRISH YOUR. Lord MONTEAGLE rose to move that a Select Committee should be appointed to consider and report on the reeommenclations of the several Parliamentary Committees and Commissions on the state of the Irish poor, as relating to the expediency of introducing per manently the system of out-door relief for the able bodied labourer ; and on the eff.ct of such a measure :on the well-being of Ireland, the interests of the poor themselves, and the immigration of Irish paupers into Great Britain ; and, also, to consider and to report on the effects of enlarging the present electoral divisions, for the purpose of raising and buying the assessments under the Poor-law. The Noble Lord said he felt the weight and the responsibility of the subject which he had undertaken to bring before their Lordships ; but, at the same time, he felt himself free from many of the difficulties which surrounded the discussion of it. In the first place, be was free from one possible imputation of being swayed by any party views in dicsuseing the ques tion ; and, in the second place, he was free from the supposition, in introducing it to their Lordships, that he could be swayed by any desire of acquiring popular favour on the one side of the Channel or the other. But per haps he might be charged with presumption in taking up so great a question. He begged to say that he had twice been Chairman c f a Committee of inquiry in the other House en tho poor•law in Ireland, and he had more than once in his Par liamentary career had his attention directed to it. He had been told that there would be objections taken to the raising this question by reason of the late period at which Bills were sent up for consideration by their Lordships. They had never suffered more than during the last week of the last session, for some of the most material acts of the whole Session had been sent up at a time when it was utterly imposslle to give them any necessary attention. This difficulty was increased by the technical regulations which existed between the two Houses of Parliament - , when there was any amendment to be proposed. He would not wish to use any parliamentary tactics —to meet a measure by a side-wind—to take advantage of a side-wind.—(Bear.) Ile desired on the contrary, to meet the matter directly. This measure had already been considered during the recess, and therefore it was no new subject which they were called upon to consider ; but yet, although they had all the necessary evidence before them, and yet he believed that many were about to vote on this Irish Poor-law, without being able to make themselves acquainted with one-tenth part of the information which was already on the table. Many had been so engaged, not upon more important but upon perhaps more pressing subjects, so that they were unable to command sufficient time to make them selves acquainted with the evidence which had been ad duced. in the candour and nobility of their natures he was sure that their Lordships would n irer suffer themselves to slight or deny Ulls evidence, but he , was quite sure that if they did cast this evidence away as antiquated and unnecessary, they would at least admit the information which he had to give, and if they did strike they would at least hear before they struck, and grant him that for which he was about to ask. He wished to guari him self against any misconception on two grounds—the first was, that he, as an Irish landed proprietor, wished in any way to save his own property, and secon dly, t h at he was desirous of in any way increasi ng hi s own pro perty from the public revenue. [LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY BILLS. Mr. GREENE moved that the following recommenda tion contained in the Third Report from the Classifica tion Committee of Railway Bills be considered, viz : " Your Committee recommend that the Caledonian Railway Bill, No. 205, he divid e d i nto two Bills ; the first to contain Edinburgh Station and branches to Granton and Edinburgh and Gla , - - gow Rail way. The second to contain branches to Wilsontown, Fauldhouse, Biggar, and Broughton. The first Bill to remain in this Group; the second to be placed in Group 47." That the order made on the 15th day of Feb ruary last, for referring the said Bill to the Com mittee of Selection be read, and discharged. That the Bill be withdrawn. That leave be given to bring in a Bill to enable the Caledonian Railway Com pany to extend their station in Edinburgh, and to make branch railways to Granton and to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway ; and that Mr. Hope J o h ns t one , M r . Lockhart, and Mr. Hodgson Hinde do prepare and bring it in. That leave be given to bring in a Bill to enable the Caledonian Railway Company to make branch rail ways to Wilsontown, to Fauldhouse, and to Biggar and Broughton ; and that Mr. Hope Johnstone, Mr. Lock hart, and Mr. Hodgson Hinde do prepare and bring it in. —Agreed to.

THE BRIGHTON POLICE. Captain PECHELL presented a petition from several parties in Brighton, complaining of the conduct of the police and the borough magistrates, inasmuch as they had been placed in cells, and not allowed to communicate with any one except in the presence of the police ; and that subsequently they were dismissed without any in quiry being made into the truth of the charge made against them. The Hon. Member also presented a peti tion from Worcester against the Poor RemovallAct. EDUCATION. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented two peti tions from Rochdale against the proposed Government grant for education. EDINBURGH AND PERTH RAILWAY. The second reading of this Bill was postponed till Monday next. IRISH POOR RELIEF BILL. Mr. GREGORY presented several petitions in favour of this Bill. SCOTCH REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. MATHESON presented a petition from the schoolmasters of Dingwall against the proposed Regis tration Bill for Scotland. CHAFING-CROSS BRIDGE. This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. GREENE presented a petition spina it, which was referred to the Committee on the Bill. GOVERNMENT PLAN OF EDUCATION.

An HoN. MEMBER presented a petition from the media cal officers of Athlone, praying for increased remunera• Lion to medical officers employed in the Unions. CUSTOMS DUTIES. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN presented a petition from KiWarr i ai= st the Cwltows MU. . GOVERNMENT'EDUCATION SCELEM.E. Lord MORPETH presented several petitions from Baptist and Independent congregations, and from the inhabitants of several places in Yorkshire against the Government Education Scheme. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. Dr. BOWRING wished to read a paper from Hong- Kong, dated the 13th of January, which stated that the system of corporal punishment on board ship had, they were happy to state, been done away with, and that no punishment would now take place without a trial, in consequence of the discussion which had taken place in the House of Commons. He wished to know whether the Government had received any official assurance of what was thus stated. Mr. B. HAWES said that no official confirmation had been received by the Government ; but he conld, at the same time, say that he had great reason to believe that there would shortly be a great amelioration of the system of punishment in the commercial marine within a brief period. ARMY PENSIONS. Colonel REID wished to ask the Secretary at War, whether there was any intention to alter the system of army pension*?__ Mr. F. MALTLE said that there was no such intention, IRISH CHURCH: Mr. S. O'BRIEN wished to ask the N4,ble Lord at the head of the 'Government, wttethere there was any intention to bring in any measures during the present session to appropriate the property of the Irish church to purposes in which both Protestants and Catholics were interested. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there was no such intention. GAME-LAWS. Mr. B. ESCOTT wished to remind the Iron. Member for Durham that a Committee on the game-laws had sat _ _ in 1845, before whom a considerable mass of evidence had been given. He wished to ask whether it was the lion. Member's intention to act upon that evidence. Mr. BRIGHT said that it was his intention to draw the attention of the House to .the evidence which had been given at an early period, and he hoped to be able to bring in a Bill to repeal the game-laws before the end of the session. ENLISTMENT OF THE ARMY. Sir H. DOUGLAS wished to ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Government whether the system of enlisment for a limited period had been adopted by the advice and with the consent of the Duke of Wellington, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that there had been several communications with the Horse- Guards, but there had been no direct contravention of the plans adopted by the Government. Further than this he declined to answer. To a further attempt by Sir Howard Douglas; the Noble Lord returned the same answer. GOVERNMENT SCHEME OF EDUCATION. Mr. MATHESON preeented a petition from a con gregation of independents, at Ashburton, against the Government plan of education. Mr. OLDHAM presented a petition from Leeds to the same effect. LIMITATION OF ENLISTMENT BILL. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS assuming that the opinion of the Duke of Wellington was not favourable to this measure, begged to give notice that it was his intention, when the question was put for going into Committee on the Bill, to move that it be committed that day six menthe. Viscount SANDON moved for a copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Admiralty, dated the 27th day of March, 1846, stating that the Lords of the Ad miralty approve of Mr. Rendel's plans for a refuge har bour and packet harbour at Holyhead; and of the con. ditions upon which the contribution of 200,0001., by the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, had been ten dered for the same, as referred to in the Treasury minute of the 3d day of April, 1846. Also, copies of any report from Cap►.ain Beechey, RN, or ()thus, on the nature of the sea ground proposed by Mr. Bendel to be incloseci as a harbour of refuge at Holyhead, and made subse quently to Ju1y,1846, together with a plan, showing at rc suit of such examination; together with a copy of tilt plan of such. harbour of refuge and packet harbour a! Holyhead, as has been approved of and prepared uncle) the direction of her Majesty's Government, or of thi Admiralty, and the cost of such approved harbours. Agreed to. NAVAL COURT MARTIAL. In answer to a question put by Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. WARD (the Secretary to the Admiralty) state, that the sentence of death, recently passed by a corn martial at Portsmouth on a private of the marines le, insubordination, had been brought under the consi &ration of the Lords of the Admiralty, who, con sidering all the circumstances connected with th had felt themselves justified in recommending to ID Majesty a commutation of the sentence already ordere, to take effect. NAVAL ARTICLES OF WAR. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether the Lord: of the Admiralty had considered the existing naval ar tides of war, with a view to an amelioratiun of their inhuman and unjust provisions. Mr. WARD said that the subject had been considered but he was not at liberty to state as yet the result o those deliberations, he hoped to be able to ley be:or. the House the determination to which their Lordship had arrive& HARBOURS OF REFUGE AT HOLYHEAD. Lord SANDCN wished to know whether commis sioners had been appointed to consider and take evi dence upon plans to be adopted for constructing ha: bout s of refuge at Holyhead, and, if so, who they cues'. of, and what were their instructions. Mr. WARD said that a Commission had been ap pointed, consisting of Captains Berkeley, Collinson, an( Shepherd. Their instructions were to take evidence and hear the objections of opponents upon th subject, and report thereon to the Government MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON. Sir CHARLES NAPIER said that at the beginning of the session he had moved for certain returns con fleeted with the squadron in the Mediterranean. Ili wished to know when they would be laid on the table. Mr. WARD was understood to say that they wouk be furnished as soon as possible. LANGPOHT UNION. Mr. ESCOTT wished to ask the Secretary for the Home Department whether he had any objection to pro duce certain documents respecting the management o this union? Sir G. GREY replied that he had not, as soon as the charges at present in course of investigation were brought to a termination. HOLYHEAD HARBOUR. Mr. 0. STANLEY wished to ask the Secretary of the Admiralty if it was the intention of the Government to reconsider the plan respecting Holyhead harbour, not withstanding the interested representation of the cit) of Dublin. Mr. WARD said many grave objections had beet. urged against the plan ; and it was thought ad visablo to well consider the matter before the; consented to spend a million of money upoi the undertaking, so that the Government might be satisfied that the money would be satifactorily and usefully expended. It was still under the attention 01 the Government. ARREST OF FOUR PERSONS AT BRIGHTON. Cap!an PECHELL wished to call the attention of tin Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for tht Home Department to the arrest of four persons al Brighton (from whom lie had presented a petition to day). They complained that they had been taken u; on suspicion of having committed a robbery, that the) were taken before a magisti-ate, from whom they ob tained their discharge, the charge not having been mad, They complained that during the intervening period they were not allowed to instruct counsel except in tilt. presence of a police-constable. Ile wished to know whether the Hon. Gentleman had had his attention called to the case, and whether he intended to take an) steps to prevent a similar occurrence s Sir G. GREY said the case had been brought under his attention. He, however, would make an inquiry into the matter. CUSTOMS' DUTIES BILL. On the order of the day being read for going into Committee on this Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said he thought it necessary, in justice to his Noble Friend opposite (Lord G. Bentinek), to state the course which he intended to pursue with respect to this Bill. He believed his Noble Friend intended to state hi: case against the Bill, in bringing forward his motion that the subject be referred to a Select Committee, instead of arguing his case in Committee. On bringing forward his financial statement he stater that he proposed a duty upon colonial rum, of 6d. higher than that imposed on British spirit/. Since that time he had bad the opinion of distillers and others, who urged that that duty would not be athluate as protecting duty. Although his opinion was unchanged, he had been induced to reconsider his decision He had said at the time that it was impossible to fix a precise amount, and therefore, he had been anxious to adopt as moderate a duty as possible. It was, there fore, his intenti on i n th e C omm i ttee on t hi s B‘ll to pro pose that colonial spirits should be charged a duty of 9d. per gallon higher than the home spirit. He would not now go into the reasons one way or the other; but he would assign these in answer to the statement of his Noble Friend opposite. He had thought it fair thus to apprise his Noble Friend of the course he intended to adopt. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK said -that he would require the especial indulgence of the House on this occasion, for of all the dry subjects—(Laughter)—that could possibly be devised, and which it had ever been his misfortune to bring forward, this was the most tedious, and ho feared that neither wit, talent, or ingenuity would suffice to make it agreeable. lie believed that the Right Hon. Baronet desired by his measure to do justice to all parties, but he (Lord G. Bentinck) believed also that the Right Hon. Gentleman was en tirely in error in the result at which he had arrived. He was compelled to say that this question was not one of pounds and shillings; but one of pence, half pence, aye, and one of the twentieth parts of farthings, and it was for that very reason that it was of such universal app. cation, and it would be better entertained in a Select Com mittee up stairs than in a Committee of the whole House. One part of-the Irish case differed from the other part of the Irish case, and one part of the Scotch case dif fered from the remainder. If he were justified in ask ing for a Select Committee—if he were justified when he gave notice of the motion—he was so fur from being dissuaded from it by the annoucement made by his Right Lion. Friend, that ho was still further encouraged to persevere from the very reason that the mind of the Right lion. Gentleman was not made up upon this subject. Whilst up to the present time he had thought that the dif ferential duty should be sixpence, he had now consented to give way; and, though he did not acknowledge that his mind was changed, still In. h' s . l ' 2 Ul l ;ed tun , tli:,...snre r f tne (4,‘v‘ rwmcnt, assuto the Right lion. uehtlenhniu that if he were pan upon that Committee, so little was he prejudiced upon the subject, so little was his desire to give any advantage p alp use. to the British distiller over the colonial producer of rum, that if it could be proved to him that there was a neces sity for 9d. instead of 6d., or that there should be no differential duty a t all, h e wou ld b e th e first m a n to pro- I pose such a measure to the Committee. It was not very long ago since an Act was passed relating to the differential duties between the Channel Islands and Great Britain. That Act was the 65th xec. of the 8, and 9 Vict. In that Act it was stated that Is. 2d. was the amount of the countervailing duty be tween the spirits from the Channel Islands and the agricultural produce of Great Britain. He had, therefore, a right to assume that the sum of Is., or at least 114 d., was a just assessment as between rum and British spirits, because the Act of which he was speaking recited in its preamble, that the object of the 13111 was to determine what was, the extent of the Ex cise. restrictions, and the house by passing that Bill had decided that the extent of the Excise restrictions amounted to is. 2d. The excise laws were altered in 1823, not for the advantage of the distiller, but for the better collection of the excise duties. The result was that every distiller was forbidden to distil and brew at the same time, and to brew and distil on th 4 same pre mises. Every distiller was consequently obliged to double his plant, to increase the size of his premises, and to increase the number and size of his coppers. The effect of which was. that a distiller, whose business could be carried on for 40,0001. required a capital of 80,0001.—(Hear.) He was putting the Irish part of the case first. Now it was given in evidence before a Committee which sat in 1823, that an Irish distiller, who produced 60,000 gallons of whisky in his business, and who previously required but 5,000/. as his capital, was in consequence of these new re strictions obliged to increase his plant, and :to lay out 5,0001. more in order to conduct his business. 10/. per cent would be the result, or 5001. a year, which would have to he charged against 60,000 gallons. 600/. divided over 60,000 gallons, would give exactly the result. The next item was the loss of material arising out of these restrictions. These re .strictions obliged the distiller to brew at a. certain gravity—to give as many days notice of his in tendon to brew, and so many hours notice of any removements he makes. Thus he was sometimes obliged to stop his works fur twelve hours—to allow his furnaces to become extinguished causing a waste which was estimated at one-twelfth of the whole produce. The Irish distillers estimated the loss in this way at 2d. a gallon. Then there was the loss in wares, because it was necessary to pay the workmen during these temporary stoppages : in fact it was necessary for the distiller to increase the num ber of persons in his employment, to expend double time, and to pay double wages.—(Hear.) Irish listillers put them at ls. 2d. per gallon (as we under stood). Then again with respect to yeast.—(clear, hear.) In making *tits, owing to the restriction, it was necessary to use fresh yeast at every brewing, which would not be necessary if the restrictions were removed. It was a fact that under the operation of the Excise laws he distillers wore obliged to let their yeast run down the gutter, and to purchase. the same from other parties. The distillers of Galway, of Belfast, and of Drogheda, were thus obliged to come to the London mar ket in order to purchase 'yeast, while they them selves were obliged to waste. , :The expense of yeast, to the gallon was a penny. There were 26,000,000 of gallons of spirits distilled in England and Ireland, which, at Id , would give an amount of 100,0001. of wale turned .own the gutter, under the operation of the Excise law. That made sid. They then came to the malt duty. He was now speaking of Ireland. In what was ealled the raw corn spirit, about two-thir -eentha of the corn was malted ; therefore, if they charged an amount equalling two-thirteenths on the whole quantity employed, the malt duty being Is. 4d. a gallon, it would give a duty of 21d. per gallon for malt duty alone. A high authority in these matters n former times—he meant the late Mr. Huskisson— naintained that the whole malt duty was in itself a aeavy charge, but that the restrictions on malt added one-half to the amount of duty to the real eest of malt for the same restriction that applied :o spirits applied also to the making of malt. En cold weather the barley required more than forty lours for its proper steeping, but in warm weather less. Die Excise laws would not, however, change the hour, aid in many instances in warm we eller the barley sprouted and was spoil, d. The loss in this way was 2s. 61. per quarter. He then came to ,another subject, vhich is as called in the language of distillers, the I creases. In 'England the duty was charged upon B i ish spirits as they left the worm head, but it was eiarged upon rum not as it left the East and West Indies, ✓ arrived in this country, brit as it came out of bond. le found- by a return ordered by that House, on the 29% May last, that the allowance made to the rum pro lucers was—in England, three six-tenths of a penny ; n Ireland, seved seven-hundredths of a penny ; and in is eland, eight five-tenths of a penny, upon each ;Anon. In England, out of 2,411,001 gallons imported, 76,794 had been allowed, the money tor vhich was returned for deficiency and leakage vas 36,2481. In Ireland 737 gallon were allowed, it a sum of 3471. upon 30,770 gallons introduced, and n Scotland the sum of 1,534/. was allowed for 3,287 gallons, out of 43,135 gallons imported. He would now 'alculate what would be the amount of drawback (if Such it might be called) to 'the rum producers of Eng and, Ireland, and Scotland. - He found that the lrawbeck to the rum producers of England would Je three 4 10ths of a penny ; Ireland two 1-81hs; ,nd Scotland. four 3 10ths of a penny.—(Hear, hear.) Che result of all these disadvantages, as tar as the dis illers were concerned, was that it would take 'lid. and of a penny to put them on a par with the colonial instillers, whereas it was only proposed to take off 9d. per gallon. In addition to this the distillers had to con t•?nd with many other disadvantages. Another example if the same kind was the removal of the glass duties. For that measure the country was indebted to the Hon. Baronet the Membr for Tamworth. Although his (Sir it. Peel's( anguine expectations had not been realised vet the result was perfectly surprising. By a return laid in the table; of thel House last year, it appeared, that owing to the increase for sheet and plate ;lass ' the manufacturers had increased their works. New works had been erected in Dublin, Belfast, Hull, and other places. The want of ,kilful hands were much felt—in fact, so much was this scarcity felt that the workmen who could be obtained mid forced their employers to allow them higher wages, and they had been increased in consequence 301. per cent. —as they seceived from 4/. to Si. a week. He thought in the case of glass he had shown a very strong example sf what the removal of excise would accomplish, for it uust be borne in mind that as regarded the glass duties, :,he removal of the excise-duties upon it had not led to any increased exportation of the article. The increase was :treated at home, as shortly after the repeal of the duties in this country the duties on foreign glass were re pealed, so that English and foreign glass came et once nto competition, and they competed on equal terms. lie was justified from the increase of the home con sumption in these articles, to suppose, that if the excise luties were amended, and greater facilities given to to the distillers in their manufacture an enormous increase would be the result. As regarded the case of Ireland, there was another conside ration which the House was bound to consider. whiskey was the great drink of Ireland, but a eery small proportion of that whiskey was Dade from malted corn. The advantage which arose from the malting of barley was that ,t was deprived of its poisonous qualities. As only 100,000 gallons were distilled from barley so prepared, 't followed of course that the mass of the Irish popula tion drink a poisonous instead of a wholesome liquor. [LEFT SPEAKING.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Two brothers, named George and Phiko Reeves, were trought before Mr. Alderman Johnson for final exa mination, charged with stealing about 801. in notes and gold, the property of William John Baynham, who keeps a coffee-shop and lodging-house in Poppin's-court, Fleet street. At the previous hearing it was shown that on the 25th of November Mr. Baynham drew out a deposit of 100/. from the London and Westminster Bank. The 50/. note, No. 2,242 B. N., was amongst the notes. The two pri soners, who had been lodging at his house about three weeks, absconded on the following day, and it was im mediately discovered that a cash-box within a trunk in the landlord's room had been opened, and the 50/. note, and other monies and notes stolen. After the lapse of three months Mr. Baynham acciCentally met the two runaway lodgers in Great George-street, Westminster. they ran different ways, but he followed and secured 'olio of them, the prisoner George. At the station-house he admitted the crime, and said he had secreted the 50/. note in the hollow of a pendulum of a clock which stood in the kitchen of a puddler at Tipton-hill-top, near Wolverhampton. He said they had changed the two 101. notes. _ _ _ Ephraim Joseph, an apprentice to Mr. Roseley, a jeweller at Southampton, now identified Philip as having tendered the 501. note produced two days after it was stolen. The prisoner agreed to give 121 . 10 s. for a watch, and offered the note in payment, saying his nam e was Philip Hughes, residing at the 'White Horse, Brighton, but staying at the White Hart, Southampton. Witness wrote this addretss on the back of the note, at the pri soner's dictation. The prisoner said he was nervous, hut was afterwards persuaded to try his hand at writing, and wrote the word Philip, but would write no more. ['hey declined taking the note, and said he had better send his father, to whom he said the note belonged. Daniel Oliver deposed that on the 2d of December he was in the service of Mr. Holford, a jeweller, at Wolver hampton, and on that day he changed the 50/. note pro duced for the prisoner, in payment for some rings and a brooch. The prisoner Philip was accompanied by a woman older than himself. When he took the note he s upposed it was a 5/., and his master sant him to Fryer's Bank to get change. He there trend it was a 50/. note, and wrote his master's name on the back of it. The prisoners denied the charge, but did not attempt to explain their sudden disappearance from the coffee shop, or their running away when they met him acci dentally. Mr. Alderman JOUNSON committed them for trial. WORSHIP -STREET. A respectable-looking couple, each about 30, were ' charged with creating a disturbance, and causing a mob to assemble in the public street. Constable 37 G said be was on duty in the City-road about six o'clock on the previous evening, when he ob served the defendants surrounded by about two hundred persons—mrn, women, and children. The male defend ant held in his arms an infant, the possession of which, however, was being resolutely disputed by the female, a ho, he learned, was his " better half," and who, it bfld 4),•en him The husband, on being asked what he had to say to ;he charge, replied that a short time since he bad a disagreement with his wife, and proposed to her a separa tion, he undertaking the charge of the children, four in number, which was agreed upon ; and having been pro mised a situation in London ; he came up to town, bring ing with him the three elder children. He, however, returned to Norwich, and having got possession of the infant, got into the railway train, and again proceeded to London ; but on his arrival at the London termintis, to his amazement, he was suddenly accosted by his wife, who he learnt had come up by the same train in another carriage ; and this was the origin of the complaint made by the constable. The infant here exercised its lungs, which manifestly were of the stentorian order, and, The MAGISTRATE desired that it should be at once given to the mother. The rather reluctantly complied. Mr. Hermitage, on the part of the wife, said he was instructed that the husband now cohabited with other women, and all that the wile required of him was that he would let her have the childrk n, as her friends would assist her in their maintenance and education, and he might then go where he pleased. lie had sold all their furniture, and taken lodgings in London, where the other children were ; but in what part could not be ascertained. The husband said he certainly would t u t consent to give up the other children, unless compelled to du so by law. Mr. ARNOLD replied that be had no 'power to compel him to do so. He had, however, behaved extremely ill, end all he could do in the matter was, to bind over both husband and wife to hz.ep the peace towards each other. The parties. were then accordingly bound in the sum of 204 each for that purpose. -7f7AMES. Five lads, apprentices on board the ships Favourite and Autumnus, were charged with stealing thirteen pints of brandy from a cask lying in a quay in the Lon don Dock. From the evidence of White, one of the Thames po lice, and Dix, a constable, it app eare d th a t th e p r i s oners had abstracted the brandy in a mode which is technically termed " working the pony." It seems that on the pre vious day one of then, named Sykes, took one of the ship's bucl:ets and placed it under the cask. He then bored a hole in the cask with a gimlet, two of the others, Furman and Johnston, in the interim keeping a good look-out in opposite directions for the police. They then put a spike in the gimlet-hole, and carried the brandy on board the ship Favourite. The trick was discovered by White observing the cask breaking, and on examining it he soon found the spike was not such as a cooper would use. On searching the ships, part of the brandy was found concealed in each. The prisoners admitted the fact; one observing, when called on for his defence, " I only bored the hole," and the others said, "We did nothing but look out for the police." They were all committed for trial on the charge. HAMMERSMITH. John Chandler, aged 22, son of a boat-builder near the High Bridge, Hammersmith, was charged with having violated Elizabeth Sarah Perriam, a girl of weak intellect, 17 years cf age. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, attended on behalf .of the prisoner. The evidence of the girl in question and other-wit nesses was conclusive as to the commission of the' s°. fence, the witnesses all stating that the evidence of the girl was precisely to them what she had stated st the court. The prisoner, who by the advice of his solicitor de-, clined saying anything, was fully committed to Newgate for trial en the capital charge. GREENWICH. Edward Cook and Henry Cook, of No. 31, Piccadilly , Esqrs., officers in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, were charged with assaulting James White, constable No. 18 of the railway police; Beaumont Hotharn, Esq., of Hertford-street, May-fair, an officer of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting Mr. William Casey, railway inspector;. and the Hon. Spencer Lyttelton, of 17, St. James's-place, St. James's, with assaulting the raid Inspector Casey, of the Greenwich branch of the South Eastern Railway, while jn the execution of his duty. Constable White, No. 18 of the railway police. deposed that he was on duty at the Greenwich terminus on Wednesday evening, at twenty minutes to fed o'clock. He vitas standing at the second-class turn stile; saw the two first named prisoners, with pre° other persons, go up to the first-class turnstile, swore of whom passed through, but one of them, J ; lenrf Cook, jumped over the turnstile, and on being called upon to return, deliver up his ticket, and pass through. as others did, he refused to comply. Witness followed prisoner, and urged him to return and pass through id a proper manner. Prisoner said he had a ticket, but did not show it. Witness receiveel much abuse, was hustled. and Edward Cook struck him violently in the face several times, which caused much pain for several hours a fter. He took him into custody with much difficulty, the other prisoner trying to rescue him by passing his arms a cross the neck of a itness, and holding him down. There was a vast number of passengers waiting to go by the trains, two of which went off without filling, owing to the great confusion that ensued, witness and the other officers being prevented from doing their duty. Witnesses having been examined, The defendants called the Hon. Mr. Littelton (who %No stood charged in the same transaction) as a witness' who stated that himself and friends had been dining in Greenwich—had return-tickets. They went to the first' class station—he headed the party, presented his ticket: and went in. A dispute arose between the Cooks add the check-taker. Saw Henry Cook collared by White the constable—a scuffle ensued—could not speak to blocs —seemed general and indiscriminate confusion. Edward Cock said he had no evidence to offer in defel-ice. Mr. TRAILL said the original offence appeared to havo been committed by H. Cook. The conduct of both Cooks appearing inexcusable, he should fine each in the full penalty of 5/. for the assaults. If the advice of the police-sergeant had been followed all would have been well. Beaumont Hotham, Esq., and the Hon. Mr. Lyttelton were next charged with assaulting Mr. Inspector Casey, of the Railway Police, while in the discharge of his duty. After hearing evidence Mr. TRAILL said there was nothing against Mr. Lit" telton if he had not mixed himself up with the case ; should dismiss the charge as against him, but shoulu fine Mr. Hotham 40s. The fines being paid the prisoners bowed and retired* RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS• LIVERPOOL, Mullen 15.
