Cuptrial Vadiament. HOUSE OF LORDS.- MONDAY The Earl of ABERDEEN moved an address in answer to her Majesty's message, assuring her Majesty that their lordships would cheerfully concur in measures to secure the pension of £1,500 to Sir H. Pottinger for life. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE seconded the motion. The address was then agreed to nemine conlradicente. Tht debat lege Bill e on the third reading of the Maynooth Col was commenced by Lord CAMPBELL, who strongly approved the measure, chiefly because it was a step in the right direction, and he saw in it the deter mined resolution of ministers, not acting from compul sion, or any desire to yield to agitation, but on conviction, in future to govern the Roman Catholics, notas aliens in blood, in language, and religion, but with kindness as en titled to equal rights and privileges, civil and religious, with their Protestant fellow-subjects. He considered the Protestant Church in Ireland as at once the most in efficient and mischievous institution to be found in the history of human policy. He advocated a provision for the Roman Catholic Church from the surplus revenue of the Established Church in Ireland. The Bishop of LLANDAFF condemned the bill, as ut terly inconsistent with the principles of the Reformation and the true character and constitution of the Church of England ; while, incidentally, it declared that the Sove rei:tn on ►he throne sat there by an unsound title. The Duke of NEWCASTLE inquired wbether the Go vernment had held any communication with the Governor of Malta, with the view of countenancing the establish ment of a Jesuit college in that yonth for the cducatiou of Lord STANLEY informed the noble duke that the bro ther of an non. baronet in the other house of parliament had applied to the governor for a license to establish a school in Malta for the education of the Roman Catholic population of the island. Such was the deficiency of the means of education in Malta, that the inhabitants were obliged to send their children to be educated in Italy and Sicily by persona not subjects of her Majesty. The question was still under consideration whether a license should be granted, although, he must add, such licenses were never refused. The Duke of NEWCASTLE wished to know whether the penorynaking application for the license was a Jesuit? Lord STANLEY admitted that the gentleman was a member of that body. The Duke of NEWcasTLE next inquired whether the --, yer-i—ut held any communication with the court of Rome? Lori STANIAV said it was perfectly well understood that we had no direct diplomatic intercourse with the court of Rome ; but there was cow, as for many years past, a gentleman employed in Italy connected with the Florence embassy, Mr. Petre, who was accustomed to carry nu some communications with those who held high office in the court of Rome. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, at some length, stated his reasons for opposing the bill. He avowed his conscien tiou? belief that the Roman Catholic religion was idola trous and superstitious," and it was criminal in the state to countenance it by permanently endowing Maynooth as an ecclesiastical corporation. The Duke at WittuNGroN defended the bill. He dis claimed all intention of making this the forerunner of other measures; it stood be itself, and had nothing to do with other measures; certainly not with any measures to endow the Catholic Church, founded upon the disenem t of the Church of England established in Ire- Their lordshi cart ied by a cc divided, when the third reading was jority of 181 to 50. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnAv Mr. ROEBUCK called the attention of the house to a breach of privilege on the part of Mr. Somers, the mem ber for Sligo, who had sent him n message on Saturday night, in consequence of a speech he had deliverei in the house on Friday night. The hon. member read the letter, which inquired as to the correctness of the re orts in t pers. and assumed that Mr. was sof ently acquainted with the laws of cbiva!ry to understand his motive for making the inquiry. To this Mr. Roebuck 3n answer on Monday replied that night in the House of Commons. and assumed that Mr acquainted with the laws of his e was liable to punishment for being read at the table, give in country to know sending such a letter The lett said that he regarded this as a menace, cal rive members of that house of that freedom culated to de ery point of view in should ha. them all, ; to ask the house house, and therefor, vileges T,....,i I ASHLEY the great mass of breathed a spirit which should le bietiops LORDS.-TUESDAY .hy and commiseration 7th of D n from it up to the The railways now before parliament vary in length from less than one mile (the Bridgewater Navigation and Railway Branch being only 70 chains) to 327 miles, — that of the London and York Line. EAST INDIA RAILWAYS.—The Court of Directors have appointed an experienced person as Surveyor of Railways in India, at a salary of £4,000 a-year for five years, and £5OO for his passage, &c. out, and the same sum home. On Friday a meeting of the shareholders in the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway was held in this town, when a committee was appointed to confer with the Ma:;chester shareholders, as to securing an alteration in the director ate. Reporters were not admitted. SOUTHPORT AND EUXTON RAILWAY.—The commit. tee on this line decided on Monday in favour of a com munication with Southport, but they thought the case was not so well sustained as it might be by some other scheme next session. The committee therefore proposed to suspend its proceedings until the Bth of July, and to report conditionally in favour of the preamble of the bill, so as not to shut out the Liverpool and Orrnskirk project from being a competing line next session, if it should be again brought forward. PROGRESS OF RAILWAY BILLS.--The preambles of the following have been proved in the Lords ork and North Midland (Bridlington Branch). Midland (Notting ham to Lincoln), Hull and Selby (Bridlington Branch), Lynn and Ely, Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, Great Grimsby and Sheffield, Midland Syston to Peterborough), Norwich and Brandon (Wymondharn Branch).

PROSsER'S RAILWAY GUIDE W lIEELS.—The per formances of the experimental train on the wooden rail way laid down across Wimbledon-common, to test the capability and power of Mr. Prosser's guide wheel, were witnessed on Wednesday by many scientific men. The whole extent of the railway laid down is about two miles and a half, that portion of it, which is straight, being two-thirds of a mile, and the remaining part being a curve, or curves approaching nearly to semicircles ; each curve is seven-eighths of a mile in length. The exi.eriments were very satisfactory, and established the principle on which the guide wheels were adopted. The curves were rounded or traversed at a speed of twenty-five or twenty six miles an hour, and the motion was neither too great, nor the noise oppressive. BIDEFORD AND TAVISTOCK RAILIVAT.—JUNCTIO N OF BRISTOL AND LIVERPOOL.—A highly influential meeting in support of this undertaking was held at Oke hampton, on the 7th instant, the mayor in the chair. Resolutions in its favour were carried unanimously. The following sketch of its objects is from the Railway Her ald :—" This is a hold scheme, ard one likely to take. It proposes a fixed bridge over the Old or Aust Passage, across the estuary of the Severn, which it will turn to Ac count for railway and general traffic. By a line from Bristol to Hereford it will form a continuous route from Bristol to Liverpool, saving forty-two miles in the present route, and avoiding the Bristol and Gloucester, which has deserted the Great Western for the Midland. The line is only forty-eight miles long, and, with the bridge, will cost £2,000,000. It will be of great benefit to the Bris tol and Exeter, and South Devon." ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY accident occurred to the express train of this Company, which left Paddington at a quarter before ten o'clock on Tuesday morning for Exeter, but happily without being attended with very serious consequences to the passengers. It appears that some obstruction, which has not yet been clearly ascertained, threw the luggage van off the rails, whence it ran for upwards of half a mile upon the longi tudinal timbers, without displacing any of the carriages in the train. After this, however, it struck a girder of a road-bridge, and ran into the ballast; the shock broke up some of the rails, and the carriages were also thrown off the line. Two of them; were upset. The luggage van was on four wheels only, and had been placed next to the tender. The engine and tender never quitted the rails. There were 145 passengers in the train, the greater num ar of whom proceeded by the following train to their `ination. There wet e a few cases of ii:jury from brui but it is hoped that none are likely to prove serious. LONDON AND MANCHFSTIe- DIRECT INDEPENDENT —Manchester, Saturday.—(From our Correspondent.) —The project of direct lines is every day becoming more popular in these districts. A few days ago a deputation, from the promoters of the London and Manchester Di rect, met the promoters in this town, at the Queen's Hotel. The deputation was headed by Sir Geo. Stephen and Mr. Owens, solicitor, of London, who were met by a numerous party of gentlemen, who entered warmly into the undertaking. I understand the same pbrties are pro moting a direct line from this town to Chester, which forms a part of their scheme. The country has been surveyed by Mr. Remington, their engineer, and the distance, I believe, is 34 miles.

The Colonial-office, however, thought that its duty was discharged towards the savage when it got for him a large price for his land, and had not taken any measures to apply it to his future amelioration. He then entered into a minute history of the injudicious pro ceedings of the colonial authorities in New Zealand, from the time of the conclusion of the treaty of Vv'aitangi down to the present time. He vindicated the conduct of the New Zealand Company, and shewed that their settle ments had been founded on a scale of liberality and muni ficence hitherto unknown in the history of English colo nization. He then entered into a eiscussion of the land question between Lord Stanley and the New Zealand Company. He contended, in the words of the Select Committee of last session, that the New Zealand Compa ny had a right to expect to be put in possession by the government with the least possible delay of the number of acres awarded to them, and that the company had that right as against the estate of the crown, without reference to the validity or otherwise of its supposed purchases from the natives, all claims derived from which had been sur rendered. After condemning in the most severe terms the conduct of Lord Stanley in having repudiated the en gagement into which Lord Joh❑ Russell had entered, and in having broken his own, he called attention to the fact that the New Zealand Company, after expending £300,000 of its own, and £300.000 more on credit obtained from the public, had not yet obtained the grant of a single ccre of land. Its capital was exhausted; its proceedings were suspended ; and, what was worse, the unhappy emigrants had been debarred from all access as owners to the land which they had purchased with hard cash in England. The crops which they had raised as cultivators, had been set on fire, and their lives had been menaced ; and when they had applied for redress to the Colonial-office, that redress had been coldly and heartlessly refused. They now apprehended a general massacre; and Captain Fitz ro )n whose eccentric conduct he animadverted with great vehemence, bad prohibited them from arming to de fend themselves. The policy of that officer, who ought never to have been sent out as the governor of such a co lony, had inspired the New Zealanders with overweening confidence, and our countrymen with fierce resentment; and the consequence would be that the first would perish under the attacks of the last, as they would be no more in the hands of Englishmen than mere children in the hands of full grown men. Mr. M. MILNEs seconded the motion. Mr. HOPE commenc , d his observations by defending Lord Stanley from the unjust aspersions cast upon him by Mr. C. Buller. He denied that his Lordship was ii fluenced by any hostility either to colonization or to New 'Lea the discussion of this Subject with that company in and Compa tiffs Lordship all entered into spirit of perfect fairness ; and as a proof tha t he had done so, he (Mr. Hope) read a resolution of its directors, signed by Mr. Somes as chairman, offering their acknow ledgements for the generous spirit in which his Lordship bad done justice to the objects of the company, and their cordial thanks for his readiness to concur in their mea sures for the government of New Zealand. He then defended the policy of the treaty of Waitangi, and con tended that the right of the Crown to land in New Zea land did not arise so much from the right of discovery as from the cession of its chiefs. He next proceeded to vin dicate Lord Stanley from the charges of fraud and deceit and dereliction of duty, which bad been preferred against him because he had made the company's title condi tional on the provii•g the legal validity of their purchases of land from the natives before the island was a British colony. He showed that the construction rut by Lord Stanley on the agreement of November, 1840, was cor rect, and denied that Lord John Russell had ever given an unconditional assignment of land to the company in pursuance of that agreement. He was not prepared to justify all the acts of Captain Fitzroy, but he was con vinced that in many cases Captain Fitzroy did himself in justice by the scanty information which be sent home. He thought that Captain Fitzroy had done his best •o put to justify that opittiou be rear several docur _ , ... .. had recently come into the possession of the Cokinal. office. In reply to the allegation that the Colonial-office was chargeable with all the disasters of the colony he in• sisted that they were mainly attributable to the hasty proceedings of the New Zealand Company in taking pos session of that island. The unfortunate massacre at Wairau arose from the transactions forced upon their agent by the precipitate conduct of the New Zealand Company in seeking to obtain possession of a disputed piece of land. He then proceeded to give an account of the state of the colony according to the latest advices which the Colonial-office had received. Mr. C. Buller had furnished the House with an account of it, resting general Dr. Evans left the'eolony . ,Et, and he (Mr. Hope) had in- hat date no collision had taken place between the set, lens and the natives in that district were on an amicable 3d no collision as apprrehended e,- - of Islands some disturbances had whole, he felt jnstified in declaring t tertained r.

It was true that Captain Fitzroy bad sent for troops, but be declared at the same time that he did not want them for active opera tions, but for the maintenance of order, considering that their presence would not only encourage the loyal, but would also discourage the disaffected.

And the only important financial operation which could materially relieve the treasury, namely, the reduction of the five per cents, has been again defeated by the chamber of peers. The most important vote of the French Budget is that of the war department, amounting this year to 13 mil lions sterling. The effective force of the army is fixed by this vote at 310,000 men and 81,689 horses, of which 60,000 men and 15,398 horses are engaged in Africa. It is needless to observe, that Marshal Soult would not give up a man of this enormous body of troops : but the reason he assigned deserves to be•recorded. It ap pears that the fortifications of Paris are now sufficiently advanced to impose a permanent annual burden on the country in the shape of garrisons, in addition to the enormous original outlay in the shape of forts, masonry, end ordnance ; for the marshal' declared to the committee, that, as there are 90 fronts to be guarded in the great enclosure of Paris, and moreover, 77 fronts belonging to the 115 forts round Paris, it was utterly impossible to reduce any part of the military establishment. This is certainly one of the most striking facts which we have yet learned with respect to these fortifications ; for, if they require garrisons to 167 mural fronts in time of peace, and consequently augment to that extent the burden which the army imposes on the country, it is evident that, in time of war, when, if ever, the utility of these defences may be put to the test, they will absorb, in the very heart of France, any army which ought to be upon the frontier. We pass over the changes proposed by M. Guizot in the pecuniary position of the foreign department. They amounted to an increase of about £ll,OOO a-year, but the committee seems to have regarded this addition as the lamp in the hall, and cut it down to £5,500. But we cannot be equally brief on the chapter of the naval estimates, which have been made the subject of gross and absurd misrepresentations in this country. The total amount of these estimates for the rear is 109,603,425 f. with an extraordinary vote of 4,700,000 f. heinz in all rather more than £4,600,000 sterling, and about £175,000 sterling more than last year. The com mittee expresses its regret at the weakness of this depart ment, and the neglect of the government to organize the naval reserve proposed by the ordinances of 1837 and 1812. Times. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY The house was occupied wltha very animated discus sion, upon receiving the report of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Bill. The Committee of the Board of Trade had reported against it ' • the Commit tee of the House cf Commo ns h a d re p or t e d in its favour. The Great Western Railway were in its favour ; the London and Birmingham against it. If it was to be joined to the former the broad gauge must be adopted; if the latter, the narrow gauge. Great interest was there fore excited, it being assumed that the decision of the House of Commons would be in effect a decision as to the comparative merits of the broad and narrow gauges. The decision of the house, however, left the comparative merits of the gauges precisely as it stood before. Lord _INGESTRE moved that the report be brought up. Mr. COBDEN moved as an amendment that an address should be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would he graciously pleased to appoint a commission to inquire whether in all future acts for the construction of R.iilways provision ought to be made for securing one uniform gauge, and whether it would he practicable and expedient to bring existing lines of railway in England and lines now in course of construction into uniformity of gauge, and if so, to report upon the best mode of carrying these objects into effect in the presant session of parlia ment. Much discussion ensued, but many of those hon. mem bers who were decidedly favourable to the amendment or Mr. Cobden, if proposed as a substantive motion, would not support it as an amendment to check the progress of the bill or to overrule the decision of the select commit tee. They thought the comparative merits of the gauges ought not to be decided upon the bill under considera tion. The house eventually divided, when the report was carried by a majority of 247 to 113. On the motion for receiving the Oxford and Rugby Railway Bill, Mr. LOCKHART moved that it be received a second time that day six months.
