PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

FROME, YEOVIL, AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY.—I esterday
the Committee of the House of Commons passed the preamble
of this company's Bill, for incorporating and giving powers
to raise capital of 550,000/. and 183,0001. by loan, to con-
struct a railway between Frome, Yeovil, and Weymouth,
with power to lease by the Great Western Railway.
EASTERN UNION RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the examiners on
standing orders declared that, in the case of this company's
Bill for additional provision, the standing orders were com-
plied with.
LORD REDESDALE'S COMMITTEE.—Some excellent regula-
tions have been introduced by Lord Redestlale, the chairman
of Committees of the House of Lords (assisted by other Noble
Lords, and Messrs, Smith, Palk, Birch, and Adams, assistant
examiners of Bills), for the prompt prosecution of business,
and it is surprising to find the number of Bills that are dealt
with and disposed of, between one and five o'clock. Yester-
day their Lordships had eighteen Bills before them.

THE Loss OF THE BIRKENHEAD.—A second court-
martial in reference to the loss of the Birkenhead steam-
troop ship, was held on board the Victory, at Portsmouth,
yesterday (Friday), to try the remaining officers and ship's
company of that vessel for her loss. There were put on
trial—Mr. William Culhane, assistant-surgeon; Mr. C. R.
Renwick, assistant-engineer of the first class; Mr. Ben-
jamin Barber, assistant-engineer of the third class; Mr. G.
W. S. Hire, clerk; Mr. John Archbold, gunner; and the
whole of the surviving portion of the crew, comprising
forty-four men, four boys, and five privates of marines.
Several witnesses having been examined for the defence,
the Judge Advocate read the following finding:—" That
the Court is of opinion that no blame is attributable to
Mr. John Archobld or the other surviving officers and
crew of the Birkenhead, tried for the wreck of the said ship,
or for their conduct subsequently thereto ; but, on the con-
trary, the court sees reason to admire and applaud the
steadiness shown by all in the most trying circumstances,
and the conduct of those who were first in the boats, and
who, to the best of their judgment, made every exertion for
