RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday the committee of which Mr. Scourfield is chair-
man resumed its sittings, and passed the Bill for the Halifax
and Orenden Junction Railway, which it is prepo4ed to in-
corporate with a capital of £90,000, and to raise £30,000 by
loan, with power to create a 5 per cent, debenture stock for
a line of between two and three miles from a double junction
with the Lancashire and Yorkshire to the joint passenger
station of that and other railways at Halifax. The clauses
having been settled, the committee proceeded to consider
the merits of the North-Eastern Company's Bill for a line
between York and Doncaster by four branches, the first of

11 'Riles, from York, crossing the river Ouse, to Selby; the
second of 14 miles, from Selby to the Great Northern at
wston, with two other smaller breaches, for which purpose
the company propose to raise further sums of £333,000 by
new ordinary 41 per cent. preference stock, and £llO,OOO by
loan. Mr. H. Thonipson, chiirman of the company, Lord
Wenlock, a considerable landowner on the line, and other
witnesses were examined in favour of the project, which is
opposed by the West YorKshire, West Riding and other
neighbouring companies. . _

The committee on the new metropolitan railways, of
which Lord Stanley has been appointed chairman, and
which was to have met on the 11th, has been postponed
until the 18th inst,

stripped of everything movable to lighten her, as the sea is
running high. Galway, Monday Night.—Her Majesty's
gnu boat Magpie, which was ashore at Crab Island, is ex-
pected to be got afloat to-night with slight damage.
'IHE ORATORY.—Mr. Newdegate will bring for-
ward his motion relative to " the secret burial
ground of the Oratory" in the House of Commons to-
night; basing it, we believe, on a petition disclosing very
curious facts, as to the doubtful registration of burials,
changes of name of tombstones, and wills made under
spiritual advice. He will move for a select committee.
THE PAMPERO CASE.—On Monday Lord Ormi-
dale heard parties on a motion by Mr. Gifford for
the Lord Advmate, for an order on Messrs. Thomson, engi•
neers, Glasgow, and others, to deliver up the contents of
certain boxes now in the hands of the sheriff clerk of Glas-
gow, and consisting of models of the Pampero, equipments
of the vessel, and furnishings, being uniforms, accoutre-
ments, &c,, to be used as evidence at the ensuing trial. Mr.
Gifford, in the course of his argument in support of his
motion, said it would probably be followed by an applica-
tion for a search-warrant to compel the recovery of those
articles. Mr. Clark and Mr. Shand, on behalf of the
owners and builders, objected to the motion, maintaining
that it was unprecedented in a civil cause to grant such
a motion in name of a diligence. The Lord Ordinary took
the application to avizandum.—Scotswan.

It appears that the brougham of Admiral Hall was stand-
ng in New Bond-street, when the coachman, Mr. Smith,
of 3, Earl-street, Kensington, saw the prisoner leaving the
brougham with the cape in his hand, which he was busily
rolling up. The coachman immediately pursued him, and
he was taken into custody.
4,045 3'896 The prisoner was remanded.

TIIAIkIES.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE Or ASSAULT.—Joseph Ro-
senthal, a foreign Jew, who carries on the business of a
clothier and outfitter, at No. 189, High-street, Shadwell,
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting
Mary Maria Rice, a little girl nearly eight years of age.
Mr. William Cooke, a solicitor, defended the prisoner.

The child, who gave her evidence with great readiness
and simplicity, is the child of poor parents. Her father is
in Americo, her mother is dwelling on the " ruins" in
Ham's-court, Ratcliff. The girl who is very little, but
remarkably intelligent, said that she and her little brother
were on their way home to tea yesterday afternoon, and
were met by the prisoner in Ratcliff-highway. He
gave her and her brother each a cake. He gave
her brother a penny, and told him to go and see
the fire. He gave her a farthing, and said he would take
her to see the fire, He took her to a house where he lives.
He took her into a room. There was no one else there. He
put her across his knee, and took a piece of rag and spat
upon it twice, and rubbed it on her person.
Mr Paget—Anything else ?
Witness—NO ; nothing else, sir.

Mr Cooke cross-examined the little creature very in-
geniously, She said she did not go to school, or to any
church or chapel. She did not know the time. She be-
lieved it was about 4 o'clock. Her father was an engine
driver. Her mother went to ladies' and gentlemen's houses
to work. Her mother had not come with her. She said
she had no business in the court.
Nicholas Rice, a boy oged 10 years, confirmed the evi-
dence of bis sister as to meeting with the prisoner, and
stated that as he returned to the prisoner's house and put
his foot in the shop he saw his little sister across the pri-
soner's knee, He gave the prisoner the biscuit he had
bought. The prisoner said he did not like it, and sent him
for a second. When he brought the second biscuit the
prisoner said that would do very well. His sister was then
seated alongside the prisoner, who sent him out again and
told him to go and see where the fire was. HIS sister went
with him. She would not stop any longer. Directly they
left the house his sister made a complaint to him. He took
his sister bark after looking at the fire, and told the prisoner
there was a chimney on fire in a private house. The pri-
soner gave him a half-penny and he went home with his

sister.
In cross-examination by Mr. Cooke, the boy said he did
not go to school. He stopped at home to mind his sister.
His sister told her mother when she came home. He told
his uncle, who called for the police.
After some further evidence, Mr. Cooke addressed the
magistrate.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

The proprietor of the hotel at Malta where Gari-
baldi and his suite put up refused to receive any remunera •
lion declaring that he felt only too proud to have had such
an illustrious man as the General for his guest. At the in-
stance of Colonel Chambers, however, he was compelled to
accept payment of his bill.
THE _RECENT OUTRAGE AT LIVERPOOL.—Dr.
Rowe, who was so savagely beaten by the young
men Brice and Scott was yesterday a little better, though
still in a very weak and dangerous condition. His injured
leg canoes intense pam, and materially interferes with the
repose which is so necessary for his lungs, which have been
very much congested. The doctors have strong hopes of
saving his life, but state that even if they succeed he will
always be an invalid.
TUE SON OF QUEEN POMARE, heir presumptive
of Tahiti, has come to France to study two curious things
in combination, namely, cathedral music and military
matters—the high roads to civilisation according to
Tahitians.
