'NON.

The committee re-assembled this day to proceed with
the clauses of the bill. Pre,:en-c, the liukc;of Wellington
(in the chair), the Earl of Morton, Lard 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 clan-es led to a most determined opposition on
the part of the Groat 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, havinc, replied, the committee decided
that the opponents hade' no locus standi, and declared the
preamble of the bill proved.
