PARLIAMENTARY DEPOSITS ON RAILWAY
BILLS.

Wednes lay was a busy day at the Bank of England, and
at the office of the Accountant-General of the Court of
Chancery, in consequence of the payment by the rail saY
and other public companies of the 8 per cent. deposits on
the estimated cost of their respective undertakings in con-
formity with the standing orders of both Houses of Parlia-
ment. It is understood that the payments, all things con-
sidered, were highly satisfactory, and that about £3,000,000
in money, stock, securities, and Consols were paid in before
the offices closed. The total share capital proposed to be
raised in connexion with the now undertakings amounts to
upwards of £30,000,000, the capital proposed to be raised
by the metropolitan lines alone being about £8,000,000. Of
these latter, however, some did not pay the required de-
posit, and among them the Fulham and Hammersmith,
Pimlico and Paddington, and proposed Kensington and
Knightsbridge Railways.

the harbour last year. They had had three storms, which
tested the stability of their works, and t he ships in the har-
bour had ridden out the storms in sa'ety.Their difficulty had
been to divert the trade from the ordinary route to the railway
and harbour. They bad recently made contracts with emi-
nent houses for the conveyance of produce, and he had no
doubt that when ships got into the practice of using their
harbour they would prefer taking freights et low rates to
going empty; and there was no doubt the merchants would
find their line and harbour the cheapest mode of convey-
ance. He considered that their harbour and works were not
fairly opened for trade until the Ist of October last.
Mr. LEwts remarked that since they had commenced
operations the Salina mouth of the Danube had been im-
proved, and the vessels navigating the river hal thus been
enabled to reduce their rates, and they had caused the corn •
pany to reduce its rates.

Mr. LIDDELL, the engineer, explained that the improve-
ment of the Sulina mouth was very considerable; the Danubo
Steam Company and t.ther vessels were cart.) ing at unre.
munerative rates, but as the company's undertaking afforded
great advantage to merchants he had no doubt they would
get the trade. They had from 30 to 40 merchants sending
by this route, but they had only two or three last year.
When the machinery for loading and unloading was com-
pleted they would reduce their working expense's very con
siderably.
The report was adopted.

The three retiring directors (Mr. Henri* Mr. W. J.
Newall, and Mr. J. Lewis) were re-elected, and also Mr. It.
Potter, the retiring auditor. The articles of association
were altered so as to admit of the accounts being made up
to the 30th of November in each year, and the half-yearly
meetings to be held in the months of February and August
of every year.

The proceedings concluded with a voto of thanks to the
chairman and directors.

WESTMINSTER.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT OF A RESPECTABLE MAN.—
Richard Phillips, a respectable-looking middle-aged man,
was placed at the bar charged with stealing a quantity of
timber and bricks, the property of Richard Franklin.
Prosecutlr stated that he was a purchaser of some timber
and bricks from a French gentleman at the Exhibition.
They were in the eastern annexe, and had been used to
fix some machinery, since removed. Prosecutor paid a
deposit of 10s. on the 19th of November for the timber and
bricks, and the balance of 15s. to complete the purchase on
the following day. Prosecutor went on the 30th ult. to
the eastern annexe to remove the timber and bricks, and
found them gone. On making inquiries he found the
timber at Douglass's yard, opposite the Cromwell-road.
The prisoner was there, and said that he had bought the
timber and bricks of a patty. Prosecutor gave him plenty
of time to find the man he said he bought the things of,
but he did not, and he gave him into custody.
Mr. Arnold—How do you make out that the prisoner
stole the things ?
Prosecutor—l:bought and paid for them,
Prisoner—And so did I.

Mr. Arnold (to prosecutor)—You have got to prove he
stole them.

Prosecutor—He had no business with them after I had
bought them.

Mr. Arnold—He may possess them wrongfully or he may
not. You have given him in charge for felony, and it is
now for you to prove that he has committed one. He may
have a claim to the property as well as yourself.
Prosecutor— He can't have, it is mine, I bought and paid
for it.

Mr. Arnold—l am not siying that it is yours or his, but
you both lay claim to it and you say he has stolen it.
Prosecutor—l don't know whether ho has stolen it or
not.

Mr. Arnold—Then you should not have given him in
charge. It was a very serious thing to take away a man's
character in this way. There is no pretence for charging
the prisoner with felony.
Prisoner was immediately discharged.
It was state I that the accused was a very respectable man.

MARK LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
small, Dry samples were in steady request, and prices
were well supported; but damp qualities sold heavily on
former terms.

The market was well supplied with foreign wheat.
Generally speaking, sales progressed slowly, yet the cur-
rencies ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late
rates.

Malting buley was in demand, at very full prices.
Grinding .and distilling sorts moved off slowly, at late
rates.

Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates.
There was an increased supply of oats on offer. Good
and fine corn ruled firm. Otherwise, the trade was rather
less active, but at full prices.
Beans and peas were without change in value from
Monday; but the demand for them was far from active.
In flour, a moderate business was transacted, and the
currencies steadily supported.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

The Secretary of the Great Western Railway
Company presents his compliments to the Editor of
The Sun, and begs the favour of the insertion of
the enclosed circular in to-morrow's impression of
his paper :
London Terminus, Paddington, Jan. 15.
CIRCULAR.
The directors have much satisfaction in communicating
to the Great Western proprietors that, in conjunction with
the West Midland Company, they hays entered into two
separate agreements, the one with the London and South-
Western Railway Company, and the other with the London
and North-Westein Railway Company.

The main object of these agreements is to utilise existing
lines, by increased facilities being given to each other,
thereby affording improved accommodation to the public,
and avoiding expenditure by the projection of new lines,
which might tend to unnecessary or injurious competition.
The agreements made for amalgamation of the West
Midland and South Wales Companies with the Great
Western Company are presented for confirmation by Par-
liament in the approaching session.
i
The only bill for a new work promoted in this session by
the Great Western Company is to complete a short junc.
tion at Great Bridge, in Staffordshire,Southproyiion s made under
between two
lines already formed, and for which
the terms of the agreement with the London and North •
Western Railway Company.
So many reports have been circulated, which are entirely
at variance withthe policy pursued by the directors, and
which are calculated to mislead the proprietors, that it has
been thought desirable, notwithstanding the near approach
of the half-yearly meeting, to place these facts before them
at once.

The directors will be prepared, when they meet the pro-
prietors in February, to afford a full explanation of these
matters.

On behalf of the Great Western directors,
(Signed) SIIELI3URNE, Chairman.

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday, in Lord Stanley's Committee, the bill
for the amalgamation of the Great Western and West
Midland Railways was passed by the Committee,
alter hearing Mr. Denison, Q.C., and Mr. Phinn
in opposition. The case for the opposition on the
part of some dozen other lines thus summarily
disposed of was expected, under other circum-
stances, to last a fortnight. The hearing of
the next bill, for the amalgamation of the
Great Western, West Midland, and South \Vales
Railways so as to form an integral portion of the
proposed new system, was postponed until to-day to
give the opponents opportunity to consider the ex-
pediency of further opposition, and for the purpose
of settling the clauses. The bill for the Guildford
and Leatherhead Railwiy, with powers to the Lon-
don and South-Western and Brighton Companies
in connexion therewith, was passed; and that of
the proposed extension of the Lc ndon and Brighton
between Dorking and Leatherhead, being virtually
unopposed, referred to the Chairman of Ways and
Means. The clauses of the West Hartlepool having
been settled, the case of the Whitehaven, Cleator,
and Egremont, for an extension from Lamplugh to
the Cockermouth and Workington Railway, to raise
£75,000 and borrow £25,000, was opened by Mr.
Hope Scott, and witnesses examined by Mr. Phinn
and Mr. Atkinson. The Bill of the Charing-cross
Railway Company, for regulating its capital and
debenture debt and for authorising an amalgamation
with the South-EasternCompany, being unopposed,
was referred to Mr. Massey's Committee. In the
Lords, the Bill of the Fochabers and Garmonth, for
a railway between those places and for the Inver-
ness and Perth and Aberdeen Companies to work
arid contribute, and the Bill for the Sligo and Bal.
lighardarreen Railway, wer passed.

A HEROINE.

An inquest was held last week on the body of
Isabella Parrett, aged 26 years, and Sarah Hales,
aged 9, who perished at a fire at Bigrigg, near
Egremont, on Monday. It appeared that Mr.
Farren and his wife slept in a front room upstairs
with their child, which was two years of age. Mrs.,
Farren's two young sisters slept in an adjoining
apartment. Mr. Farren, on rising at half-past five
on Monday, found the room was filled with smoke,
afinrde.made his way down
Having roused his

stairs amidst the flames which enveloped the stair-
case. Meanwhile his wife had goneinto thenext
room, and lifted in her arms the
younger of her two
sisters, with 'whom she rushed back into her own
apartment, which was now in flames, and tried to
li't up the window. Finding the rash stiff, she
broke some of the lower panes, and pushed the girl
through to be received by the neighbours below.
With a heroism by which her whole conduct was
characterised throughout the appalling scene, the
brave woman again made her way through the fire
and smoke to rescue her other sister. This, with
undaunted perseverance, although she must now
have been much burnt, she accomplished ; and then,
when too late, she discovered that she was herself
hemmed in by fire. The staircase, which had tot-
tered beneath her weight when she last passed along
it, had now fallen, mingling with the stairs in the
general ruin, and all retreat was:eut off. The heroic
woman made another attempt to raise the window,
but the task was too much for her exhausted
strength, and her heartrending shrieks wc rued the
spectators belowof the near approach of the flames.
At length they closed round her, And in sight of the
crowd she fell back a corpse.

A HEROINE,

aged 9, who perished at a fire at Bigrigg, near

Farren and his wife slept in a front room upstairs,

on Monday, found the room was filled with smoke,
and that the house was on fire. Having roused his
wife, he seized his child and made his way down
stairs amidst the flames which enveloped the stair-
case. Meanwhile his wife had gone into the next
room, and lifted in her arms the younger of her two
sisters, with whom she rushed back into her own
apartment, which
was now in flames, and tried to
broke some of the
lint up the window. Finding the sash stiff, she

THE RIVER SHANNON.

Colonel FRENCH asked the Secretary to the Treasury
when Mr. Bateman's report on the river Shannon would be
laid before the house ?

Mr. F. PEEL replied that the report in question had not

A special report had been called for. This report had very
recently been received. As yet, however, the War-office
had not come to any decision upon it.

Mr. S. FITZGERALD asked ii her Majesty's Govern •
ment had accepted, or were prepared to accept, the propo-
sal, stated by President Lincoln in his annual Message to
have been made to them by his direction, respecting the
establishment of a convention between this country and
the Government of the United States, in order to examine
and adjust complaints of the violation of neutral rights ?
Lord PALMERSTON—Mr. Speaker, communications
have passed between the two Governments with regard to
making such an arrangement. Her Majesty's Government
have no objection to the principle on which the convention
is proposed to be conducted, but difficulties have arisen in
regard to details, and have not yet been renewed, but I am
