HOUSE OF LORDS' RAILWAY COMMITTEES
FRIDAY.

GREAT WESTERN, SHREWSBURY, AND BIRMINGHAM, AND
SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAYS AMALGAMA-
TION.

The committee re-assembled this day to proceed with
the clauses of the bill. Present, the Duke:of Wellington
(in the chair), the Earl of Morton, Lord Walsingham,
Lord Cottenham, and Lord Stafford.
Mr. Scott Hope (on the part of the London and North
Western Railway Company) proposed a series of clauses,
having for their effect to bind the Great Western Com-
pany to a stipulation that they should work the Shrews-
bury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Chester
Railways on the narrow gauge—that they should work
all the lines between Wolverhampton and Basingstoke
also on the narrow gauge—and that there shall be no
application to parliament for permission to lay down the
broad gauge, without the consent of the Board of Trade
being first obtained.
These clauses led to a most determined opposition on
the part of the Great Western Company, and the room
was ordered to be cleared, and upon the parties being
re-admitted,
The Duke of Wellington said the committee had deter-
mined in favour of the clauses, and they were embodied
in the bill.
A clause was proposed on the part of the Oxford and
Worcester Railway Company, giving the latter company
an equal number of directors with the Great Western
Company, which the committee also added to the bill.
The further proceedings were adjourned to Monday
next. Their lordships rose at four o'clock,
NORTH METROPOLITAN TUNNEL RAILWAY.
The committee upon this bill met in room E. The
committee consisted of the Earl of Desart (in the chair),
Viscount Midleton, the Earl of Roden, Lord Manners,
and Lord Calthorpe.
Mr. Carpenter Rowe opposed the bill on the part of
the North London Railway, both on the ground of its
merits and as affecting their interests.
Mr. Burke, having replied, the committee decided
that the opponents had no locus standi, and declared the
preamble of the bill proved.
WESTMINSTER TERMINUS RAILWAY.
After some discussion, the committee declared the
preamble of this bill proved.
WEST LONDON RAILWAY.
Considerable opposition was offered to this bill, but
the committee declared the preamble proved.
Some clauses were then passed, and their lordships
adjourned until Monday next.

A GENEROUS VOLUNTEER.—The son of a farmer,
named Dagomet, of Fontaine-sous-Jouy (Eure), in the
drawing for the conscription, drew a number which re-
quired him to serve in the army. This threw all his
family into profound affliction, as they had not the
means of paying for a substitute. So great was the
sorrow of the young man himself, and of his mother in
particular, that they fell ill. About a fortnight ago was
fixed for the departure of the young man, even though
he had not recovered, his strength. Just before he set
out, a young man named Darcy went to the house, and
offered himself as a substitute. " What sum do you
ask was the question of the father. "Let there be no
talk of money," said the young man. "It is a service I
want to render you ; and at the same time I serve my
country." "But how can we ever recompense so much
devotedness and abnegation ?" " I am alone in ,the
world," replied the generous fellow, "and you shall be
my family !" He then went to the military authorities,
offered himself as a substitute for Dagomet, was accepted,
and was sent to Blois to join the 27th regiment.
CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.—Five deaths from cholera
occurred in Liverpool in the week ending Saturday
last,
