HOUSE ,OF LORDS.--FRIDAY. A conversation arose on the. propriety of granting aid from the state for the construction of railways in Ireland, which was commenced by Lord STANLEY, who remarked that the object of Lord George Bentinck in introducing the Railway Bill was not to advance the value of railway shares, but - to facilitate the employment of labour without laying a tax of one r step on this country. poor The Duke of RICHMOND expressed his great satisfac• nd that they would not tion at the introduction of the measure.

The affair is creating " a sensa tion."—At Durham, only about fourteen miles distant, the mayor of that borough last week, refused to put a mo tion made by one of the members relative to the accept ance of the resignation of the town-clerk. He was fre quently and vehemently reque . sted to do so, but con tinued to refuse. After the lapse of a considerable time, during which the proceedings were of any rather than of an amicable kind, Mr. Veitch, proprietor of the Dur ham radical paper, and therefore of the mayor's party, rose and said that the only thing which prevented him from proposing a vote of censure on the mayor was, be cause he felt uncertain whether the gentleman in' that chair would condescend to put it to the meeting.—[Ap plause.) Shortly after this the mayor attempted to read some document or other, but the council were so annoyed with the conduct which had been pursued, that they hurried out of the room, leaving him with only one or two thick and thin supporters of his party ! And thus ended this memorable meeting.

The works of the tunnel commence by a splen did iron bridge, of two arches, across their railway at We vertrec-lane: 6everal acres of land are in progress of ex. cavation at Edge-hill, to be added to the present s tation, where there will be abunduit space for the thousands summer traina. The grand entrance of the tunnel is under the road leading to the railway hotel, and several hundreds of workmen are already engaged on these gigantic undertak-. ings. The tunnel is to pass in an oblique direction across the town, being carried in a direct line under the King's Monument, Christ's Church, the Friends' Meeting-house, the Chapel in Byrom-street, the North Dispensary in Vauxhall-road, and then under the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, to a station comprising several acres, between Great Howard-street and the, Waterloo Dock.

The Wuzeer Lall Singh having been sus pected of a treasonable connexion with the Cashmere in surgents, had the charge brought home to him by the Sheik Emaum-ood-Deen, on the evidence of letters writ ten by the Wuzeer to him while in arms. The inquiries were conducted in presence of a Commission, consisting of Sikh chiefs and British officers—Mr. Currie and Cols. Lawrence and Goldie being amongst the latter. It was intimated to the Durbar, that should a convicted traitor remain in power, we should be under the necessity of ceasing to hold intercourse with the Government, and Lall Singh was accordingly depdsed and removed, under our protection, to Hindostan. Had he remained in his own country his life would quickly have been sacrificed to the indignation of the people. The government was now intrusted to a commission of chiefs, and the question pressed as to the arrangements contemplated by them on our retirement. After much equivocation and delay it was determined to ask of us to permit an army of 10,000 men to remain at Lahore during the minority of the Ma harajah, our commissioner virtually to exercise the func tions of Wuzeer.

UNITED STATES The fine packet-ship Yorkshire, Captain Bailey, reached e Mersey on Friday, after a highly )speroustrip. She sailed on the 16th ult., and has brought intelligence some ten days in advance of the previous arrival, and a week later than the arrival at London this week. The papers by this ship speak of a desperate battle, which, it was be lieved, had taken place between Santa Anna, with 30,000 men under his command, and Generals Worth and Wool, with 7000 men. Santa Anna had left his position at San Luis Potosi, and marched upon Saltillo, to give the Ameri cans battle. Another rumour stated that General Wool's cllumn had been cut off in attPmpting to join that of Gen.
