RAILWAY SCHEMES.

The Commons' select committee on Parliamentary depo-
sits have reported to the house that the act requiring the
promoters of a railway bill to deposit money or stock to the
amount of 8 per cent. of the estimate, in order to ensure the
bona fide character of the undertaking, is evaded by the new
system which has sprung up. It was intended that stock so
deposited should be the proper funds of the promoters, and
available for the purposes of the undertaking; but now a
banker or insurance company lends the stock required, de-
positing it with the accountant-general in the lender's name,
and under arrangements which secure complete power over
it. One or two persons thus obtain a temporary loan to make a
colourable deposit, until they see whether a bill will be ob-
tained, and whether they can enlist a sufficient number of
supporters of their scheme. In the meantime they may
cause by their notices great depreciation of property, and
destroy the confidence in the permanency of occupation
necessary for the carrying on and extension of business
in large towns and the progress of building operations.
They may prevent the completion of sales, and put
parties opposing them to enormous expense. They
may also subject Parliamentary committees to lengthened
investigations without there being adequate means to
form a judgment whether the public has taken such an
interest in the undertaking as to justify Parliament in
granting the powers sought for. The committee mention
that in this present session more than half the deposits on
private bills are made by other persons than the promoters.
Mr Stewart, the secretary of the London and North-
Western Railway Company, stated to the committee that
he does not believe there was a company, in the sense in-
tended by Parliament, for any one of the new metropolitan
railway projects. They have been promoted only by pro-
fessional men on the chance of being able to turn them to
account. An engineer, a solicitor, a Parliamentary agent,
and a contractor apply for a bill ; if the bill is lost, only
the money out of pocket is charged, and they divide this
loss among them ; if the bill is granted, they set the rights
so obtained up to auction. The committee recommend
regulations in regard to a subscription contract, a prelimi-
nary inquiry into its bona fides, and the financial arrange-
ments of the "company," the application of the deposit
when returned, and its liability in certain cases for costs of
opposition, all which they hope will tend to check these
abuses.

STEEL SHOT.

Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, as
the First Lord of the Admiralty was reported to have stated
that the cast-iron shot were as useless as mud when fired
against ironclad ships, what proportion of steel shot and
shell were supplied to the Channel fleet, which he had stated
was ready to go anywhere on 24 hours notice ?
Lord C. PAGET replied that the subject of steel shot
had not been lost sight of, but he thought the house would
agree with him that it was not advisable that he should state
at the present time what they were doing in the matter.
(A laugh.)
"OFFICIAL" RUSSIAN DESPATCHES,

Mr A. SEYMOUR asked the Under Secretary {of State
for Foreign Affairs if the Foreign-office had any knowledge
of a despatch, headed " Official," dated February 10th,
1864, and purporting to come from Gottchakoff at St. Pe-
tersburg to M. d'Oubril, at Berlin, which was published in
the Morning Post of July 4th. And, if the Foreign-office
had any knowledge of another despatch headed " Private
Communication," from Prince Gortchakoff to M. d'Oubril,
of the same date, bat in a completely opposite spirit.
Mr LAYARD—In answer to my hon. friend I have to
state that we have no knowledge of either of these de-
spatches.
CRIMES COMMIT TED :IN RAILWAY
CARRIAGES.

Mr BUTLER drew attention to the numerous crimes
which had been recently committed in railway carriages,
and asked whether it were the intention of the Government
to take steps to prevent this recurrence. He would parti-
cularly refer to the case of assault upon a young female,
whose life would have been sacrificed had it not been
for the efforts 'of a gentleman in an adjoining car-
riage, and the case of Mr Briggs, who was murdered on
Saturday evening in a first class carriage on the North
London Railway. He wished to ask the Home Secretary
what was the amount of the rewards offered for the appre-
hension of the murderer by Messrs. Robartes and Co., the
bankers, by whom the deceased gentleman was employed,
by the Government, and by the North London Railway
Company; also whether there was any truth in the report
that the alleged murderer had been. captured.
Sir G. GREY said he did not know what reward had
been offered by the railway company, but Messrs. Robartes
and Co. and the Government had each offered rewards of
£lOO for the apprehension of the murderer. He had not
heard that the alleged murderer had been captured ; but
he believed it had been ascertained that the chain which
had been taken from Mr Briggs had been sold yesterday
to a silversmith, who had given an excellent description of
the person who sold it to him.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of' ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

inquiries into the circumstances under which the meat was
sent to London.

SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY.
Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, reported that
during the past week 293 houses had been inspected, and
he submitted a list of 105 places for sanatory improvement.
He also submitted a list of places that required farther pro-
ceedings, on account of orders already issued but not yet
complied with.

The markets and slaughter houses had been duly inspected
and the officers had condemned 1,063 lbs. of meat as unfit
for human food. All of it was in a diseased condition.

The mortality returns for the week are greatly below the
average for the season. Last week the number of deaths
was 39 instead of 47, which is the average for the corres-
ponding period of the last eight years. Sixteen of the deaths
were among children of less than five years of ago, and 7
among old persons of 69 and upwards. The chief causes of
death were as follows :—Phthisis 5, pneumonia 4, bronchitis
4, mesenteric disease 3, continued fever 2, diphtheria 1, in-
fantine diarrhoea 1, erysipelas 1, and measles 4, making
together 8 deaths from tubercular diseases, 8 from inflam-
matory affections of the lungs, and 9 from diseases of a
zymotic character.
The Commissioners, after transacting some other busi-
ness adjourned.

CAUTION TO SCOTCH DROVERS AND BUTCHERS,
—At the Central Criminal Court, yesterday, John
Miller, cattle-drover, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with sending a quantity of diseased meat up
to Newgate-market, with the intention of causing the same
to be exposed for sale. Mr Commissioner Kerr said ho was
determined ,o put a stop to this kind of thing if possible.
Ile would let the people of Scotland know that they could
not send their bad meat to London with impunity. This
ca se was of the vary worst character, and the sentence of
the court was that he be imprisoned for twelve months,
that he be fined £5O at the expiration of that time, or lie in
Priam tuAtil gnat sum be paid,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day.

The SILEAKER did not take the chair until about half-
past 12, owing to the difficulty of getting 40 members
present.
NORTH-WESTERN AND CHARING-CROSS
RAILWAY BILL.

On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill,
changed from the Hampstead, Midland, North-Western
and Charing-Cross Railway,
Sir J. SHELLEY complained of sharp practice on the
part of the railway company, the bill having been read in
a morning sitting, when parties interested had no opportu-
nity of opposing. He should move next session that no
private bill be taken at a morning sitting.
Mr S. ESTCOURT said the right hon. baronet might
have been present yesterday to oppose the bill. Even new
it was not too late, if he felt so disposed, to arrest its pro-
gress. He thought the hon. member had nothing to com-
plain of.

Mr BOUVERIE urged that parties had not had suffi-
cient notice. In such cases he thought there should be one
clear day's notice of a motion to suspend standing orders.
After some farther discussion, it was agreed that the
standing order 226 should be suspended, and that the bill
should be read a third time to-morrow.
DUNDEE CHURCHES AND HOSPITAL BILL.
On the motion of Mr C. FORSTER, it was agreed that in the
case of this bill the examiner of petitions for private bills
should have leave to proceed forthwith.

RAILWAY SCHEMES•

The Commons' select committee on Parliamentary depo-
sits have reported to the house that the act requiring the
promoters of a railway bill to deposit money or stock to the
amount of 8 per cent, of the estimate, in order to ensure the
bona fide character of the undertaking, is evaded by the new
system which has sprung up. It was intended that stock so
deposited should be the proper funds of the promoters, and
available for the purposes of the undertaking; but now a
banker or insurance company lends the stock required, de-
positing it with the accountant-general in the lender's name,
and under arrangements which secure complete power over
it. One or two persons thus obtain a t emporary loan to make a
colourable deposit, until they see whether a bill will be ob-
tained, and whether they can enlist a sufficient number of
supporters of their scheme. In the meantime they may
cause by their notices great depreciation of property, and
destroy the confidence in the permanency of occupation
necessary for the carrying on and extension of business
in large towns and the progress of building operations.
They may prevent the completion of sales, and put
parties opposing them to enormous expense. They
may also subject Parliamentary committees to lengthened
investigations without there being adequate means to
form a judgment whether the public has taken such an
interest in the undertaking as to justify Parliament in
granting the powers sought for. The committee mention
that in this present session more than half the deposits on
private bills are made by other persons than the promoters.
Mr Stewart, the secretary of the London and North-
Western Railway Company, stated to the committee that
he does not believe there was a company, in the sense in-
tended by Parliament, for any one of the new metropolitan
railway projects. They have been promoted only by pro-
fessional men on the chance of being able to turn them to
account. An eugiaeer, a solicitor, a Parliamentary agent,
and a contractor apply for a bill; if the bill is lost, only
the money out of pocket is charged, and they divide this
loss among them ; if the bill is granted, they set the rights
so obtained up to auction. The committee recommend
regulations in regard to a subscription contract, a prelimi-
nary inquiry into its bona plea, and the financial arrange-
ments of the "company," the application of the deposit
when returned, and its liability in certain cases for costs of
opposition, all which they hope will tend to check these
abuses.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE,

HOME CIRCUIT.-HERTFORD, July 12.

The business of the assizes for Herta was com-
menced this morning at ten o'clock—Baron Martin
presiding on the civil side, and Mr Justice Willes
in the Crown Court. The cause list is a very light
one, only nine common jury cases being entered.
(Before Mr Justice Willes.)

r There is the difficulty with men as well as money,
and if Congress had persisted-in its first decision to
retain the 300 dols. commutation clause, the war
must have ceased for want of men. This, however,
they expunged on hearing of Sherman's defeat,
and now every man who is draughted must
serve or find a substitute. Men will there-
fore be obtained so long as the people submit
to be led like sheep to the slaughter. Both
the candidates for the Presidency are pledged to
continue the war, and the only rivalry in their plat-
forms is which shall display the lees reason and the
more vindictive spirit.

There is indeed a Peace party, but as yet feeble.
That which is wanted is •the morel influence of
Europe in its L;upport. Let tho ratiritime Powers
conjointly tender their mediation. If rej-cted bj
the officials, it would give the Peace party the rally-
point it needs. We are now at a crisis in this
territle history. The incompetent man whose elec-
tion and folly opened these floodgates of fratri-
cide has giticl and jested out his term of /face. is
another period or four years to bo devoted by a
Christion people to such work as this ? We have
abstained from uttering a word of protest, even of
advice. Are our interests in the future of America
so small that we can remain indifferent for ever, or
is the spectacle of 10,000 men sent week by week
to untimely graves one that it becomes us longer to
behold without so much as an effort to bring it to a
close ?

DISEASED HEAT PROSECUTIONS IN THE CITY.

The Solicitor to the Commission, A. J. BAYLIS, Esq.,
reported that, in pursuance of instructions, he had caused
proceedings to be taken against a person named John Mil-
ler for sending a quantity of very diseased moat from Ar-
broath, in Scotland, to Newgate-market. The defendant
was committed for trial on Friday last to the July Sessions
of the Central Criminal Court, and that (Tuesday) morn-
ing he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced by Mr Commis-
sioner Kerr to be imprisoned for 12 calendar months, to
pay a fine of £5O, and be further imprisoned until the pay-
ment of such fine.

The Solicitor reported that he had also caused an indict-
ment to be preferred at the present sessions of the Central
Criminal Court against Robert Case, of Lamas, near
Aylsham, Norfolk, for sending to a saleman in Newgate-
market four quarters of an ox which were very diseased, and
unfit for-human food, The defendant was convicted that
(Tuesday) morning, and sentenced by Mr Commissioner
Kerr to be imprisoned for six calendar months,to pay a fine
of £5O, and to be further imprisoned until the fine is paid.
➢lr Baylis also reported that on the 7th inst. Inspector
Nee man seized some packs of meat that were being taken
into a shop in INTsvgate-market. Oa examination, he found
that the meat formed part of an animal that appeared to
have died'of disclase, and had not been killed. It was in a
very bad condition, and totally unfit for human food. The
meat was shown to Mr Alderman J. C. Lawrence the same
day, who stated that its unfitness for food from disease must
be apparent to the most inexperienced person. He ordered
it to be destroyed, and instructed him (Mr Baylis) to report
the case to the Commissioners.
The Commissioners at once instructed the solicitor tomato

The National Rifle Association.

Yesterday firing commenced at several of the
ranges, and was kept up with spirit till the gun
fired at sundown, or more accurately speaking, a
quarter of an hour later, it having been found ne-
cessary this year, in consequence of the number of
prize competitions to be got through daily, to
lengthen the period of shooting by 45 minutes,
gained in equal contributions from the morning,
the evening, and the allotted interval of rest in the
middle of the day. The matches yesterday con-
tested were for the most part outside the more im-
mediate business of the Association, but for the
sake of convenience are always shot at Wimbledon,
and two of them, the competitions between Oxford
and Cambridge, and between the different Middle-
sex corps for the bronze medal given to the best shot
of his own county,never fail to excite considerable in-
terest. The ranges in either case were 200, 500, and
600 yards, five shots at each, Hythe position. In the
Oxford and Cambridge match Ensign R. Thompson,
o:e Cambridge University,was the wino er, making an
aggregate score at the three ranges of 44. In the
Middlesex competition the bronze medal was gained
by two points less, but the competition was a close
one, as will be seen by the following score:—
