MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM EXTEN-
sioN RAILWAY.-This national undertaking is now before
a Committee of the House of Commons upon Standing
Orders, where the petition for the Bill is opposed by the
Trent and Mersey Canal Company, the London and Bir-
mingham, the Midland Counties, and the Grand Junction
Railways, and by some landowners. The Committee has
to decide upon no less than 384 technical objections which
are raised against the Bill, not one of which at all goes to
the merits of the case. The greater part of one day was
occupied in the examination and discussing a case arising
near Lichfield, where an estate is entered as belonging to
the father, when, in fact, it appears that some years
since the father conveyed one field to his son, to
give a vote. The Committee decided that this Stand-
ing Order had been complied with, inasmuch as the
promoters of the Bill had inserted the name of the
" owner or reputed owner." Another day has been
occupied with examining into the accuracy of en-
tries on the Book of Reference, which appear as " Stowe,
with Colwich intermixed," and " Colwich, with Stowe in-
termixed.' The overseers of both parishes were called
by the opponents of the Bill, but they proved that it is almost
impossible to describe the boundaries of these parishes,
and in this case the Committee decided, " Standing order
complied with." These are the nature of the objections.
Such of them as are found against the Bill will go to the
Appeal Committee, who will determine upon the intention
of the promoters, whether or not they have done all which
can " reasonably" be required, and whether there has
been any "intention to deceive." The promoters of the
measure arc very sanguine in obtaining their object " this"
Session ; but it is admitted on all hands, that the line
of the Trent is the best adapted for the convenience of the
public, and one of the best engineering lines in the king-
dom, and that the Rill " must ultimately pass is placed be-
yond all doubt."—Stafferdshire Gazette.
NAPLES, FEB. IG.—Last night a part of our
Foundling Hospital was destroyed by fire. The flames
spread so rapidly that 23 children perished. One of the
nurses in her despair threw herself out of the window with
two children in her arms ; all three were found dashed to
pieces and quite dead in the street. The firemen distin-
guished
themselves by their effirts ; three of three of them
were killed, having fallen from the upper story to the lower,
where they were buried under the ruins.
