LATEST INTELLIOZDTON.

THE SCENE IN THE FRENCH SENATE.
The Dant' of to-day, in reference to the speech
of Prince Napoleon, says :

The discussion of the address in the Senate continues,
and, we arecompelled to my, it continues in the midst of
storms. M. Troplong hided opened the debate, by iuvitiug
the amembly to calm and moderation, but the wise counsel'
of the president were thrown to the Cads, and Saturday's
sitting, even more so than those of the two preceding days,
presented the spectacle of a contest and personal 'alb., in
which the real question was lost sight of in the midst of
tumultuous incidents and violent scenes, which brought to
mind the most stormy sittings of our last republican as-
semblies. The incident which agitated with so much vio-
lence the venerable assembly, and caused it to depart from
its natural character and temperament, was the speech of
Prince Napoleon.
The Prince, in reply to the Marquis de la Roctiejagnelia,
opposed to the flag of the counter-revolution the gag of the
revolution—the flag of modern society, and he frankly and
completely fulfilled his programme. The illustrious orator
asserted and defended the principles of the revolution
with • warmth, an energy, and a talent which our
known convictions and sympathies compel us to
recognise ; for, as far as we are concerned, the
principles of the revolution are above all other considera-
tion', and we are pomaded that all other consideration'
are comprised and included in the principles of the revolu-
tion. It was only after a long interruption, and a cross fire
ef interpellations from all sides of the assembly, that the
misunderstanding which gave rise to so much violence was
explained ; and that the explanation given by Prince Napo-
Ism with a candour which caenot honestly be called in
doubt calmed in some degree the emotion of ;the assembly,
and terminated this incident, which is perhaps unique in
the annals of our deliberative usembliee.

The Independance Beige says :
Prince Napoleon spoke yesterday, and his speech—a
legitimate glorification of all the principles which had been
mocked at and insulted by the legitimist and clerical
orators who preceded him—threw the assembly into the
greatest emotion, and produced on the beaches where the
oouoter•revolution site enthroned, a parliamentary tempest
altogether unparalleled. It required all the ability of U.
Billault to calm it down, and yet we would not be bold
enough to my that he succeeded, en significant, in oar
opinion, is the language of Priam Napoleon, which was
meant to find en echo outside of an assembly in which it
galled so many suspected attachments and secret antagon.
inns. As the prince plainly showed, the attacks upon the
liberal pram end the principal ministers of the Emperor
struck higher than they were in appearance intended to
strike. They affected not only the government of Napoleon
111., but all the greet principles which constitute the fore°
and dignity of civilised nations. We shall not reproach
Prince Napoleon on account of his language, and
the part be took pleases us ►ll the more, because
it is the most striking condemnation of the policy long fol.
lowed and still persisted in by the French government
policy which consists in disavowing the principles of its
origin whilst pretending to proclaim them incessantly, and
in endeavouring to conciliate the good will of those who
from their convictions are naturally its moat ardent amnia
The Indelpenciance Beige says that a duel was very
near taking place between M. Pietri and M. de
Heckeren, in consequence of the personalities which
were exchanged betweeu them in the French
Senate.

SPEECH OF PRINCE NAPOLEON.
PARIS, FEE. 23.

Yesterday in the Senate, M. Baroche, minister
without portfolio, replied to the attacks spinet the laws
and the government made by certain jour orb.

Prince NAPOLEON said he could not be silent after the
speech of the Marquis de la Rochejacquelein. In this piece
(said the Prince) we all speak out before France and Europe.
I maunder the speech of the hon. marquis as more than •
discourse—it is the programme of the counter-revolution.
Since, Urea, the revolution is attacked, it is my part to
declare that I am its sincere defender. The Empire is
founded on the principles of the revolution, correctly under-
stood. Noticing the animadversions of the marvinis upon
the democratic preen, the Prince quoted as • set-off • very
violent article from the Journal de Ferone, in which
a war with the "de facto government " of France
was contemplated, and Austria put forward as the
power which was to suppress the revolution everywhere.
While making these references the Prince was inter.
rupted by the Count de Bourqueney, who observed that
the Austrian government did not exercise a preventive
censure. He replied that the Journal de Krone was
written by • mercenary Italian, who was lodged in a case-
mate, with • sentry over him to protect him from the ma-
gesuce of his countrymen. He added that the ruticie was
published while the EmperorFr•neis Joseph was at Verona.
A sure instinct, said the Prince, impels you to attack
M. de Persigny. You know him as the ardent and faithful
defender of liberal and popular Napoleoniam. The Prime
then referred to the banquet given by the democratic press
to H. Batumi, and explained the arrangement of the toasts,
and quoted from the speech of that statesman
words in honour of the Emperor. The bust of
the Emperor, he added, was in the room. But, mid
the speaker, do you know where they bse•k the baste
of the Emperor, and tread them underfoot' It is in the
army of tho so-called soldiers of the Pope, commanded by
H. de Merode. H. de la Rochejacquelein must needs be well
informed by Lis friend, General Coyon, on these matters. He
knows what took place when nothing but the priest's soutane
restrained a French general and au aide-de-camp of the Em-
peror from avenging an insult offered to his sovereign. It
Is at Rome, and not in the French democratic press, that
you must look for the most bitter hatred of all that bears the
name of Napoleon. The hen. marquis has spoken of the
principle of hereditary right. True, the government of
France is hereditary, but it is that it may apply the great
principles of the revolution. It is not hereditary according
to the principles of divine right which you honour. Here
the Prince quoted the answer of Napoleon in Itlol to
the Senate which brought him the senatus.consulte declaring
his dynasty hereditary :—" I hope France will never be
sorry for having surrounded my family with honours. In
any case my spirit will be with my descendants no longer
than they continue to deserve the love ►nd confidence of
this great natiou." This is how the Emperor understood the
hereditary succession. And what happened subs quently ?
When, after immense disasters, • my of light seemed to
break ea France, and the Emperor returned from the
Lde of Film, to overthrow the government of the Restore-
I tics, we know in what eloquent words he threw himself
upon the nation, and identified himself with its interests,
• its honour, its glory. And what cries (lid he hear
as he advanced from the Mediterranean to Paris,

eat.ied on the arms of the people and the army
" Down with the nobles ! Down with the emigrants !
Down with the traitors !" (The latter word, "mitre." was
powally mistaken for " patrol.") Immense confusion
followed these words, and several senators called out,'" We
have had enough of the revolution!"
The Marquis de la Roehejaquelein —Bravo, bravo ! we are
now in full sail. This franlinses will be useful.

Priors Napoleou—Yee ; I defend the revolution ; I glory
la It. We are revolutionists—upright revolutioniete.
A Senator—No upright revolutionist cries " Down with
society."

Another Senator—lt is not revolutionise', it is demagogy.
The Mauna's de la Rochejacquelein—lt is instinctive ; It
will out.

Count Begur d'Aguesseau—cat him to order, IL. lo

The President—Monseigneur, you have called some
sad scenes to mind, and I do not think your history in quite
souml.

Numerous Voices—Order, order.
Prince Napoleon —I do not accept this WI to order. In
the Senate of France I sin entitled to ay that the return
front Elba was not a led remembrance but a glory to our
country. . . . .

The President—The return was glorious ; the sad part
of it was the manifestations with which, as' you allege, It
was accompanied.
The Duke de Is Force—lt is not true that the people
and army in bringing Napoleon back clamoured against all
that makes the glory of modern society. He came back
by desire of the whole nation—nobility, people, and clergy.
Baron de Lacrosse—Let au eye-witness just state the
fact.

Prime Napoleon—l have stated a feet.
Several voioes—lt is untrue ; it is ao insult to all the
world.

Count de la Marra —1 wee there ; nothing of the kind was
raid; the people shouted " Vies I'En3pereur."
(leoeral Lawmatiaa-1 hoard what people raid at that
lino, sad I protest--

Bares Lamome-1 demand leave to bear es testimony.
I was appalled to escort the Emperor on his tsiumphasie
march to NEIL The Emperor would never bare allowed
anybody to *around him with these anarchical, odious sad
anti-seoiel arias. We canard have the cry of " Down with
the nobles—down with the priests," raised here to-day
under the pretence of an historical citation.
Prince Napoleon—Do you pretend to deprive me of the
right to continue my speech! I neither approve nor die-
approve ; I cite the testimony of many historians. In
my opinion the empire signifies the destruction of the
treaties of 1815, within the limits of the force and the in.
tenet of Francs—it is the maintenance of the grand unity
of Italy, in future our indispensable ally. At home, it is
that order which has no more ardent defender than myself,
combined with wise and serious liberties, foremost among
them the liberty of the press ; it is popular instruction dif-
fused without limits, but not given by religions congrep-
Mous ; it is the well-being of the messes ; it is the destruo
tiosi of the bigotry of the middle are which some would
impose on us.
Cardinal Doonet—Pray do not use such expreesions. Who
thinks of imposing bigotry on you!
Prince Napoleon, resuming, read an extract from the
works of Victor Cousin, in which that writer said that
France was not fickle or difficult to govern, but fixed in its
desires and very easy to govern, and that it wished merely
the regular and peaceable development of the principles of
the revolution. The prince said that those also were his
opinions. Referring, then, to the speech of the Marquis de
Rochejacquelein, thetprince said the policy of the marquis
bad for one of its consequences en alliance with Austria and
the destruction of Italian unity, the recoostitution of the
temporal power of the Pope, end the restoration of the
deposed princes. At home he would proscribe the whole
democratic and liberal press, from the Bieck to the Debate.
This is the spectacle of society which the hon. marquis
would prepare for us at home and abroad. We know his
system ; it is not new. It is la terreur blanche, sup-
ported by foreign bayonets. We will never endure it.
When you had made a clean sweep of what you call revolts
tionary principles, and the present government bad no
rational ground to stand on, the Duke of Bordeaux
would be called by the force of things to the throne of the
Emperor. For my part I say boldly that I have no fear for
• government which is rooted in the hearts of the people ;
and while it remains true to the principle of natioasli-
ties abroad, and to the liberal and popular sentiment at home,
it may defy all, even the agitation of the clergy. I tell the
bom marquis that our principles are different. Neither of as
is ashamed of his origin. Our antecedents, our families
are different. Whereas his hoooureble ancestors fell on
the battle fields of civil war under French arms, our fathers
fell at Waterloo under English bullets. (Immense inter-
ruption.)
Count de 84nr d'Agnersean—M. President, we shall be
drawing the sword presently, if you don't take care.
Prince Napoleon—l fear I have infused more animation
than I desired into this debate. I may have expressed my
conviction with too much energy. Permit me to appeal
to your moderation. _ _ _

&not de &Tor d'Agneeseati—Our framer moderation
was erricif4, and we can't be taken in a second time.
Prince Napoleon said he would read a short pamage from
Thiele, which exactly summed up hie opinions :--" I be-
keg to the pasty of the revolution, as well in Francs am
in Europe. I desire that the government of France may
remain in the hands of moderate men. I will do all that
I can that it may continue there ; but although the govern-
ment should peas into the bands of men leas moderate
than myself—ardent men, radicals—l would not abandon
my course on that account ; I should still be of the party
of the revolution." (This dins:sum was succeeded by lose
agitation, and the suspension of the sitting.)
When the Senate resumed the president said it was the
turn of the Marquis de la Rochejacquelin to speak ; but
it was remarked that the Prince Napoleon had not
returned. The marquis commenced by saying that a great
event had taken place ; but the expression was objected to.
He complained that when they had come there loyally and
f►ithfully upon the invitation of the Emperor they should
be accused of setting forth a programme of counter revolu-
tion ; that any one should say to them, " I am the revo•
lutiou—you ere the counter revolution." The hon. marquis
continued has speech amidst the interruption of both friends
and opponents, and great confusion ensued. The Duke de
la Force exclaimed, " We are all attacked ; we, and our
fathom." The senate loudly called for a termination of the
debate.
M. Billault (minister without portfolio) said it was not
proper under the circumstances that the government
should remain silent, and permit its character for moderation
and foresight, and the respect whirls it always paid to whet-
ever was worthy in the past, to be endangered. It was true
the empire was both of the revolution, but its duty was to
direct and moderate it. Difficulties, he said, bad been raised,
and much disquietude had been produced. The Emperor
knew, however, that one of the most powerful of the forces
of society was religion, which be seconded, and neither vin.
lance, nor injustice, nor alarms would make him forget that
it is one of the great social bases on which civilisation re-
poses. The Emperor would never deny the revolution, but
it was the revolution conciliatory end honest, at once prudent
and progressive, which he sought to maintain. M. Billault
developed this principle at some length, sod at the close of
his speech the Senate rose.

MEXICO.

The following Mexican news is contained in a
letter dated Havannah, Jan. 25:
The Spanish steamer Alan came in on the 20th, having
left Vera Cruz on the 15th. Thera were in all of the
allied powers 16,000 men, but there were already before
that city and the capital 50,000 Mexicana, principally
between Puebla and Chiquihuite. There bad been several
insults and outrages committed on the Spanish residents of
Puebla. The Mexican government has increased the taxes
25 per cont., and established au income tax of 2 per cent.
The three allied powers addreseeda note to trraga, asking
permiasion to encamp at Tejeria and Medellin, which was
granted. On the 11th the French Zouaves and other
troops were quartered at Tejeria, about nine miles from the
city. They marched along the railroad, accompanied by
Prim and the English admirals, and saw but few troops of
the enemy, being the advance of General Zaragoza's force.
On the 13th one Swinish battalion, three French compa-
nies, and one English company west to Medellin. •
On the 14th Brigadier-General Milano del Beech was lest

with despatches to Juarez, accompanied by a naval officer
from the French fleet, and one from the English. They bore to
Juarez the ultimatum of the allied powers. They went
on horseback to Jalapa, where they were to take the
diligence to Mexico. Their return was anxiously awaited.
The Medellin Railroad was to be converted into a mili-
tary road. The locomotives have been run by engineers
from the Spanish fleet, as those formerly employed ref used
to drive them.

The following telegram has been received at Mr.
Renter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, Feb. 24 :

CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

The Massilia, with the above mails, arrived at
Marseilles at 7. a.m. this day. The mails were to
leave for London at 10 a.m.

The Indus, with the heavy portion of the mails,
left Malta for Southampton at midnight on the
22nd instant.

OUTWARD BOMBAY MAIL.
The Delta (from Southampton on the 12th)
arrived at Malta at noon on the 22nd, and con-
tinned her voyage at 4 the same afternoon.
The Yantis (from Marseilles on the 20th) arrived
at Malta on the 22nd at 7 p.lll, and sailed again at
11 p.m.

A letter from Byeres of the 18th inst. says that
the famous Confederate steam privateer Sumter will cer-
tainly because a legendary vessel. She has reappeared in
the reads of Hyires at the moment it was thought site was
ball way across the Atlantic. Her presence bra canoed
great alarm among the ships of the Federal government
which are loading salt in the neighbourhood. The Sumter
deliberately hoista the Confederate flag. "She evidently
feels confident," says the writer of the letter, " in the good
faith with which the French government observes the neu-
trality, for a single breads' le from one of the ships at
anchor in the roads of Ilyiirea would be sufficient to sink
her."

MR. DIOBY 811710e1a, Q.O. Af.P., AND rffs
wpm,' rkithz.

The following judgment was affixed to the great

seam in Middle Teaipleilall—the ordinary means of pub-
lisping notificatioes addressed to the members of the uni—
on Saturday last. Copies of it were also, we are informed,
sent to the other inns of court :

•' The Masters of the Bench have carefully considered
the voluminous evidence and documents which have been
brought before them, and have come to the conclusion that
the charges in the cases of 'Parker,' Centta,' and 'Robert-
son,' respectively, are not proved, and that the charge as to
a proposal to hold briefs for au attorney, in liquidation of
his costa payable by you, is proved.
" The facts and circumstances which are disclosed fully
satisfy the Masters of the Bench of the necessity for this
inquiry, and they regret to add that they cannot accompany
their intimation to you of their decision on the three charges
first named with any declaration that your conduct is not
liable to repairs ; on the contr►ry, they have the painful
duty to perform of stating to you that they find much
worthy of severe condemnation, even on the most favour-
able construction of your actions ; that in Parker's case, on
your own statement of your conduct, evidence appears of •
want of open dealing towards and of oonosalment from Mr.
Parker. Mr. Parker's agreement with you, on your own
version of it, was inconsistent with your substitution of
your credit for the money you undertook to add to his own,
and with the use of his money for any purple.) unconnected
with the printing scheme. The breach of your agreement
in these two respects sem not conunnnioated to Mr. Parker,
whose consent alone could have justified the conies to which
you actually resorted.
"The Masters of the Bench are also under the painful
aeolesity of declaring their opinion that the settlement of
Mr. Parker's action, while the charges of fraud included
in it were, in the opinion of the Bench, not only not
withdrawn, but were strongly re-asserted, as it was conduct
calculated to destroy character by exciting suspicions that
charges which were not boldly met could not be gainsaid,
was an arrangement to which a right-minded man, even in
the hour of heavy pecuniary distress, would not have sub-
mitted.

" They are compelled to add that no solid ground pre-
senta itself on the evidence in justification of the affidavit
which was made by you for the purpose of postponing the
trial of the action in question.
" With respect to Captain Robertson's case there is found
in your statementa at various times, in relation to that case, a
want of consistency which indicates some recklessness of asser-
tion. Your assertion, so often repeated, that you had gen►
rawly taken upon yourself very large liabilities which did not
in any way belong to you, as you assert yourself to have been
totally unconnected with and innocent of the transaction
termed rigging the market,' is at variance with the state.
ment in your letter to Mr. Lefroy, that the debt was as
much Captain Robertson's as your own. The Masters of
the Bench are unable to reconcile an act which, according
to your Tendon of it, would have been one of romantic
generosity and self -devotion (scarcely consistent with your
duties to others and 'with the reasonable claims of justice),
with other portions of the evidence, and with the ordinary
presumptions which aria from your conduct, as disclosed
throughout these painful transactions.
"The fourth charge relates to a matter of • different
character. The Masters of the Bench are glad to find that
it is not justified by you ; bat the grounds on which you
attempted to palliate your conduct are not satidactory to
them. Your proposal was one most improper from a herrieter
to an attorney, and invited a breach of duty on the part of
the attorney ; a client would never be likely to suspect that
his attorney, from secret motives of interest, was selecting
an advocate for him whom otherwise he might not have
chosen. It is conduct, therefore, promoting deception, and
likely to generate suspicion where confidence should prevail.
If such a practice were tolerated it would lower the cha-
racter and honour of both branches of the profeesion, and
would be injurious to the public, not only by reason of such
debasement, but also by its tendency to introduce into, or
maintain in the practice of, their profession, men more dis.
tioguished by the pliancy of their principles than by the
gifts of nature improved by an industrious and honest pur-
suit of eminence by honourable means."

The Ti mes observes that nothing remains now to the
butchers of the Middle Temple but to accept Mr. Sey-
mom's challenge, and to publish the whole of the evidence.
" When they do this we shall be better able to judge how
far Mr. Seymour has been unjustly treated, and also how
far the 'Muters of the Bench' have performed their dutle
as guardians of the honour of their profession and the in
tercets of the public."
Mr. Seymour's late speech at Southampton contained the
following :—" Now, I answer to the questions of my
anonymous interceptor, that the printed evidence of every-
thing which took place during an eight months' investiga-
tion, with closed doors, is open for his inspection, or for the
gratification of 1•v curiosity, at any hour or place he
chooses to appoint."

THE BISHOP OP EXETER AND THE REV.
JULIAN YOUNG.

A correspondence between the Bishop of Exeter
and the Rev. J. Young, relative to the inhibition of the
latter from the use of the pulpits in the diocese of Exeter,
has just been issued. The letter of the bishop, after re-
ceiving Mr. Young's explanation, was as follows :

ANOTHER CALAMITOUS TIRE AND LOSS Op
LITE-(THIS DAY.)

This morning the densely populated neighbour-
hood of Bermondsey was painfully excited by the outbreak
of a fire in the premiere numbered 43, WestonAtreet, near
the new leather market. The house was only three floors
high, and was let out in tenements to several families and
medical student.. At an early hour in the inoitimg
student named Griffith noticed a strong smell
of burning, and at once gave an alarm A mail
named Treavershorne, having a wife and family
living at Bromley, connected with one of the City whole-
sale houses, lodged in the house, going to his family only
on the Saturday night and returning on the Sunday evening.
He returned yesterday at his usual time, and retired to
bed. Upon the fire being discovered, one of the
inmates went three times into the unfortunate man's room,
and begged of him to escape. He, however, would in-
! snit upon remaining to dress himself. While so doing, one
of the lower doors gave way, cod the heated smoke and
fire rushed up the staircase, and filled the whole of the
rooms on the two upper' floors Mrs. Lowder, a lodger,
who, after bringing her children down, returned again to
save some of her property, wss so bully buried that oho
was obliged to be removed to the hospital.
The Royal Society's escape from Tool.y-street attended,
when the conductor having entered the room which Mr.
Treavershorne was occupying, searched for him, and
called to him, but not seeing or bearing him, naturally
concluded he had made his escape. Engines were at once
called into operation, but the flames could not be extin.
gabled until the whole of the upper portions of the build-
ing were destroyed, including the furniture, wearing ap.
pare], tie., of the various residents. About two
hours after the outbreak, upon one of the fire-
men entering an upper room, he discovered to his asto-
nishment the legs of a man projecting from under the
bedstead. Upon closer inspection he found that it was the
man who had been so frequently warred to escape. Remain.
lug to dress himself he must have been overpowered by the
heated smoke, and in order if possible to avoid suffocation bad
crawled under the bedstead, and in that position became suf-
focated. The body was forthwith removed to await an in-
quest. The origin of the calamity is unknown. Not one of
the sufferers was insured.

GREAT NORTHERN AND WESTERN OF
IRELAND RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

This day the half-yearly meeting of ehareholdere
was held at the company's office; Parliament-street ; the
Earl of !.nosis in the chair.
. .

The following ie the directors' report :
" The pees receipts of the line to Cutlers* during ten
weeks, and to Ballyhaunis during the remainder of the
half-year, have amounted to 7,881/. fie. 10d. ; 3,6921.
18s. 7d. having been expended in working and general
charges, and 1,1121. 12s. being required for payment of de-
benture and other interest, there is a balance of 3,082/. thi. 3d.,
secluding 61. Is. brought forward, disposable for dividend.
Your directors therefore propose a dividend at the rate of 24
per cent. per annum. free of income tax, upon the called-up
capital, which will leave 178/. 9s. 53. to be carried
forward. The traffic during the pest half-year must
be considered satisfactory, and it is worthy of obser.
ration that the mileage receipts have hitherto always
increased on the opening of every extension of the line.
It has been a disappointment to your directors that the line
to Claremorris should not have been completed; the weather
his undoubtedly been most unfavourable for the progress
of the works, but thyy hope confidently that it will be
opened for public traffic during the next month. It is stall
intended to commence the construction of the Westport
extension, so soon as the line is completed to Quatiebar, and
preparations are about to be made at once toeffect that object.
impressed as your directors are with the great importance to
the interests of the company to extend your system to the
town of Bettina, and encouraged by a considerable local sub.
scitiptioo, they determined upon applying to parliament in
the present session to authorise this, probably the last ex-
tension • and further the agreement between the (Great
Northern sad Western (ot Ireland) Railway Company, and
the Midland Great Western Railway Company of Ireland,
=de it essential that such an application should not
be longer delayed."
The enamour; moved its adoption.
Mr. Born said that he had been deputed by the Midland
Company to attend the meeting, and to express their die-
satiafaction at the manner in which the business of the
company was managed. They alai complained that
this company had not subscribed one third of
the capital according to the agreement made with
the Midland Company; asum of 276,0001 had been received
on the share capital, and, as far as he could make out, thin
company bad ciely paid 90,000/. of the contractor's
!money, and 70,00 X, which they received from the
public. The Midland Company, therefore, had as
objection to going to Westport WI this company
equalised the scale of contribution. There was a
still stronger feeling on the part of the Midland
Company to go on to Bailie', and if the directors of this
company gave up that branch, the shereholden of the Mid.
land Company might be dispined to assist the corn.
piny in =mug out the Westport branch. In order
to put himself in order, he begged leave to move the omis-
sion from the report of the paragraph relating to the Bab
line branch.
The amendment had no seconder.
. . . .

Mr.Stvr:wv thought it would be suicidal to this com-
pany if they did not continue the line to Westport. lie
doubted whether it was permissive to the Midland to decide
whether they would support that line or not.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that though Mr. Boyd had enid
his company were not satisfied with the management of this
company, he had not pointed out in what respect it
failed. With regard to the subscription list it
was precisely that which the Midland Company
ought to have anticipated when they became partners. The
Midland Company would have known very little of their
interests indeed if they were not opposed to the
Bathos line; but just in proportion as that line
was injurious to the interests of the Midland
Company, it was essential to the Great Northern and
Western, as it would form part of an independent line if
the Midland Company broke with them. (Hear, hear.)
The report was then agreed to, and the proceedings were
brought to I C 1066.
