the conference, I acquiesced ; but acquainted him : it the
same time by letter that I should•request the mana, ;en s of
companies in alliance with the Great Western to att en( 1 at
the same conference.
"I think it right to address these observations toy . for
the purpose of showing that your letter, just receive( I, has
been written under serious misapprehensions.
" Whether the answer of my board to your former (com-
munication is properly characterised written in a very
hostile, and even bitter tone and spirit,' impartial pc rr sons
must determine ; but they will no doubt consider, also,
whether it be not an honest and just reproach against : your
company for affecting to charge upon the allies of the ( teat
Western Company the disclosure of practices which •your
company had themselves instituted and acted upon, a s well
in the former instance of the Birmingham and 0 3 ford
Railway as in the now repeated effort to upset our : 1,1 ;ree-
ments with the Shrewsbury Companies.
" Peace may be obtained and secured, but not by atte n opts
to force agreements against the interests of others ; and
my directors, firm and resolute in what they believe ito be
right, will not be led aside from their duty to assent i ) any
overtures for peace unless they perceive equality, fair ness,
and just principles in the conditions proposed for • their
acceptance.—l am, dear Sir, yours faithfully,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.)
Their Lordships assembled at 5 o'clock.
HACKNEY CARRIAGES BILL.
_ .

Lord STANLEY, of AilerleT, moved the first reading
of the Hackney Carriages Bill, and gave notice that to-
morrow he would move the suspension of the standing
orders with a view to the bill passing through its several
stages.—Agreed to.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table the
report made to him by the gentlemen whom he had ap-
pointed to consolidate the statute law, and explained to
the house the directions he had given to them, and some
of the principal features of their report. It appeared
that, from the time of the Magna Charta up to the 15th
and 16th of her present Majesty, 16,442 public
statutes were passed, but deducting from that num-
ber those which had been repealed or become
obsolete, as well as the acts which exclusively be-
longed to Scotland, Ireland, and the colonies, there only
remained 2,500 statutes applicable to England and the
United Kingdom, and it was to the consolidation of these
that the attention of the commissioners had been directed.
During the last few months they had neither been idle
nor forgetful of their duty to the public ; on the contrary,
they had been most assiduously and anxiously engaged
upon the work, and although it might not be possible to
agree with their suggestions, there could be no doubt
that the result of their labours would be of inealculable
advantage. One member of the commission had made
an attempt at a digestion of the statute and unwritten
law respecting distress for rent ; and another member,
Mr. Coode, a similar digest as to the poor laws ; and,
after having seen these specimens, he had come to the
conclusion that the best course to adopt for the future
was one which the Commissioners bad already put them-
selves in training—viz., that each of them should take
a particular subject. He suggested one in regard to
which there was only statutes and no unwritten law,
and consolidates the whole statutes upon it in a judicious
and clear form, which persons not professionally ac-
quainted with the law could easily understand. He
believed that such a digest, though it might not answer
every purpose, would be of essential use to the public.
BURIALS (BEYOND THE METROPOLIS) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
COPIES OF SPECIFICATIONS REPEAL BILL.
The Commons' amendments to this bill were con-
sidered and agreed to.

TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE, &c., BILL.
The Commons' reasons for disagreeing to the amend-
ments made by the Lords on this bill were considered.
Lord STANLEY (of Alderley) moved that the Lords'
amendments should not be persevered in.
Lord REDESDALE objected to the motion, as the
effect of omitting these amendments would be to pro-
hibit the use of dogs in carts ou turnpike roads, which
would be a great hardship to many poor persons.
Lord STANLEY (of Alderley), after consulting with
his colleagues, thought the objection of the noble lord
was well foundgd, and therefore he would withdraw his
recommendation.

Their lordships then agreed to persist in their amend-
ments.

THE STRIKE IN SOUTH WALES.—On Saturday next
the whole of the men under the Dowlais Company will
be paid off, and many are making preparations to leave.
Should the men go away in such large bodies as is now
contemplated, the Dowlais Company will find it a matter
of no small difficulty to get others when operations be-
gin. The men have behaved in the most peaceable
-manner, nor has physical force as a means of gaining
their ends been once mooted in their meetings. A meet-
ing has been convened to be held in the Market-square,
Merthyr, to see if means cannot be adopted to settle the
dispute. The result of the strike remains to be seen.
The shopkeepers will be great losers, but they seem
sanguine that the demands of the men will be eventually
acceded to.
