Mr. HUME said let it be decided by ballot.
;if:Mr. SANDFORD—The list now in the Speaker's Id
-.ha,uft is that which was on the table ; the one in his right is
-..ttat brought .down by the clerk. of the House.
Sir_ EDWARD KNATCHBULL —There can be no
!question but the one brought down by the clerk is entitled to
*recedence. It is a shame that the House should be engaged
In a discussion on such a subject.
Mr. .S A NDFO RD made •some observation, after which
The SPEAKER called upon
Mr. POULETT THOMSON; who said he had to bring
up the report of the Select Committee on Railroads; he should
move that•it be.printed and taken into consideration to-morrow
evening. He wished to state that the Committee recom-
mended that the second reading of Railway Bills should not
be interfered with, but that they should pass to-night merely
pro, forma ; and when there were.-conflicting lines, if the par-
- ties consented; that all the Bills should be referred to the
same. Committee. It also recommended, that though the.
second reading might now take place, yet that two or three
days ought to be permitted to intervene before the appoint-
•:ment of the Committee. That would be no inconvenience
whatsoever to the parties, and if they did not wish the Bills,
in ease of conflicting lines, to go before the same Committee,
they would not be compelled to do so.
Lord G. ".S OME R SET.wished to know if the recommenda-
tion of the Committee only extended to where there were con-
flicting lines.
Mr. P. THOMSON said it was so.
Mr. HUTT presented a petition against a Railway Bill, the
na,tne (..f which was not heard in the Gallery. •

Lord G. LENNOX moved -the second reading .of the
London and Brighton Railway Bill—(Stevenson's line.)

these two places, with a different line ; but after what fell from
the President-of the Board of Trade, he would not at pr6.sent-''
oppose the one before the House.
An Hox. MEMBER presented a petition on this subject.
An Hox. MEMBER said he held in his hand a petition against
Stephenson's line.
The SPEAKER said, the question before the House was,
that this Bill be read a second time.

were inaudible in the gallery, the Bill was read a second time.

CORNWALL MARKETS.
Calculated at 24 gallons to the bushel.)

The Burlington and Scarborough Harbour Bill was read
a second time.
An HON. MEMBER presented a petition from the merchants
and other inhabitants of Gloucester, in favour of the Glouces-
ter and Birmingham Railway Bill.
THE DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY.
This Bill was then read a second time.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET put off until to-mor-
row, the presentation of a petition against (as we understood)
the Doncaster Railway.
:NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.
Mr. BAINES presented a petition in favour of the North
Midland Railway Bill.
On the motion of Sir JOHN BECKETT, the Bill was
read a second time.
BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.
Mr. TOOKE presented petitions from Pendarves, in favour
of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Bill.
A great number of petitions were presented in favour of and
against the Bill by Hon. Members on both sides of the House ;
but in consequence of the noise which prevailed in the body of
the House, notwithstanding the repeated calls of the Speaker
to order, we were unable to classify them.
MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.
On the motion of Mr. TOOKE the Middlesex Hospital
Incorporation Bill was read a second time.
Mr. W. PEEL presented petitions from Tamworth in
favour of the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway Bill ;
and also in favour of the Stone Bridge Junction Bill.
BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.
Sir EA RDLE Y WILMOT presented petitions in favour of
the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Bill.
Mr. STUART (as we understood) presented petitions to
the same effect.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET moved the second
reading of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Bill.
Petitions in favour of the Bill were presented by Lord G.
BERKELEY, Mr. HOPE, and another Mem*, who was unknown
in the Gallery.
Lord G. BE RKELEY presented a petition praying that car-
riages might be allowed to run upon the railway. The peti-
tion had his warmest support.—( Laughter.)
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed.
CHELTENHAM AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL-
WAY.
Lord H. E. SOMERSET moved the second reading of
this Bill.
Mr. P. M. STEWART said he had to offer some op-
position to this Bill on the part of the Proprietors of the
Thames and Severn Canal Company. In the distance
of eight miles, the railway crossed the canal no less than
six times; besides this was a case at which the House
ought to look with great suspicion, for the line selected was
most objectionable, there being no less a rise than one of 236
feet in the eight miles—it sometimes being no less than 63
feet in one mile. It would ruin the canal which had been
made at an expense of 300,0001. ; and though the trade was
now flourishing, the dividend was not above 1 4 per cent. He
would not divide the House in the present state of the pro-
ccedings with respect to railways, but he would protest against
it, on the grounds he had laid before the House.
Mr. PALMER had been asked to state to the House a case
of very great hardship connected with this Bill. This rail-
way, by the proposed line, went through the property of his
Hon. Friend, the Member of Chichester (Mr. Smith), for
four and a half miles, and came within 220 yards of his resi-
dence. He believed there was not one of the Bills before the
House which so interfered with private property as this one.
He trusted, to whatever Committee the Bill was referred, his
Hon. Friend would obtain some redress, by an alteration of
the line.
Mr. CRIPPS.did not expect that a Bill for a Railway of
such utility as the one under discussion would prove, would
have met with such opposition. He was very sorry for his
Hon. Friend (Mr. Smith), but though he had nothing to do
with the Railway, he was happy to support it, though the fact
was, it went very far through his property, and came nearer
to his house than to that of his Hon. Friend.
After some observations from Mr. P. SC ROPE and Mr.
GORDON, which were inaudible in the Gallery, the Bill
was read a second time and ordered to be committed.
MANCHESTER AND CHESHIRE RAILWAY.
On the motion of Mr. WILBRAHAM this Bill was read a
second time and ordered to be committed.
Mr. JERVIS presented a petition from Chester in favoi of
the Bill.
MANCHESTER AND STOCKPORT RAILWAY.
Mr. WILBRAHAM moved the second reading of the
Manchester and Stockport Railway Bill, and also the Roxton
Road Bill.
Both Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted.

DUBLIN PETITION.

The SPEAKER hain.g• calle'd"on Mr. Maxwell, the Hon.
Gentleman proceeded to .read in' atone of voice. a Report
from the City of Dublin Election Committee.—.(There were
loiid cries of " Speilk nut," frorriall 'parts of the House.) The
Lion. Gentleman then handed it to the clerk. The Report
stated' that the Committee. had' assembled that day in pur-
suance 'Of the Speaker's. Wairant, and that Sit -Rufane Donkin
had vacated his seat 'since :the Coniiiiittee bad last assembled.
LONDON AND GRNVESEND.RAILWAY.

Sir A. GE A RY moved tbe:second reading of this Bill.
ANGERS'rEIN opposed - the Bill on the ground
of its inipracticability. It -Wad got up by a few specu-
lators in London, and was inopposition to the wishes of the
great majority of the inhabitants. - Besides, it was impossible
it could be carried into effect, as they would never be perMit-
ted -to run it through Greenwich Park, without which the Work
could not be carried on.

Mr. G. F. YOUNG felt it his duty to oppose the Bill. It
was impossible that. such a speCulation as this could succeed,
hen-there.were a number of sVam 7.-..9„5.5e1s who took passen-

Petrs to Gravesend for-dite shilling a
Mr. ANGERSTEIN then proposed that the Bill be read
a second time that day six months.
An HON. MEMBER presented a petition in favour of the Bill.
Sir W. GEARY said, as one of the Members for that Divi-
sion of Kent, felt bound to present the petition for this Bill.
lie did not think the Member for Greenwich had made out a
case in opposition to the Bill.
Mr. LAW HODGES did not think the parties had com-
plied with the preliminary steps neceszary for this Bill, and he
should therefore oppose it.
'Mr. POTTER said Gravesend was one of the places of
amusement resorted to by the citizens of London, and he
hoped the house would set their faces against anything which
could curtail the amusements of the people, which were al-
ready too few.- He certainly would vote for the second read-
ing of the Bill.

Mr. BARLOW HOY made some observat!ons which were
inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. AARON CHAPMAN said that there was the ad-
vantage'of the railroad, that persons going to Gravesend by
that conveyance would not be afflicted with sea-sickness. He
should vote for the Bill.

Sr WM. GEARY said he had no objecti in that the saeoEd
-eading of the Bill should be postponed.
_ _ _ _

111 r.—C. WOOD said that.it had been stated that Govern-
ment had refused their assent to the measure, on the ground of
its interference with the rights of the Crown. The fact was
that Government only ordered inquiry into the subject, and as
yet no decision was come to. _

After a few words from Mr.. WAnruhrox and Sir ROBERT
INGLIS,

Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed that it was said that the
assent of the Crown was refused. Enquiry had been made by
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and it was found that
the obstacles in the way had not been satisfactorily explained,
but they were not prepared to say that the advice of the
Crown should be withheld.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery
was cleared for a division, and there appeared— •

The Bill is consequently lost.
BURLINGTON PIER BILL.

Mr. BETHE LI.; moved tke second reading of this Bill.
Alderman THOMPSON said he had no objection ,what-
ever to ships actually using harbours, paying the dues
for those harbours, but he had strong objections to those ships
which merely passed the harbour being called upon to pay for
that which they had no occasion. He moved that the Bill be
read that dao six months.

Mr. G. F. YOUNG objected to the principle of thy'
Bill, and would give every opposition to it in his power.
If it was necessary for the sake of humanity a har-
bour should be kept up upon a particular part
of the coast where it could never be expected to pay the Go-
vernment ought to support such harbour, and he would rather
leave it in their hands, under the superintendance of his Hon.
Friend the Member for Middlesex.

(Laughter)—than in the hands of Commissioners. He would
oppose the Bill, for a great many of the same kind were car-
ried into execution, merely for the purpose of splendid pr3me-
nades at watering places.

Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND said the principle laid
down by the Hon. Members was very good, but he could assure
the House, that if no passing toll was exacted, this pier.could
not be kept up. He had seen 150 ships laying at Harnburgh
head in distress, many of which had afterwards put intoßurling-
ton—had they nor had that harbour, they must have stranded.
It had been said that the tolls in many instances had been
spent in making splendid promenades at fashionable watering
places.
'Mr. YOUNG did not make that observation with reference
to the present Bill.
Sir G. STRICKLAND continued—The toles upon their
harbour were very small, and if taken away altogether it would
be impossible to keep up the harbour at all. Several storms
had taken place which had nearly swept away the old pier.
Mr. HUME trusted if the harbour required more money to
keep it in repair than its tolls produced, his Majesty's-Mi-
nisters would institute some special inquiry on the 'subject.
He would join the Member in instituting an inquiry, in order
that the matter might be droperly sifted.
Sir M. W. RIDLY said that the object of the Bill would be
desirable, but as no doubt there would be opposition to it, he
would suggest to the Member who had charge of the Bill that
it would be better to postpone the further consideration of it,
until some further inquiry was instituted.

Mr. BETHELL had no objection whatever to the pro-
posal of the Hon. Baronet, and would postpone the second
reading of the Bill till this day fortnight.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from
certain watermen of London, praying the House not to enter-
tain► any Bill for building a new Suspension Bridge over the
Thames between Waterloo and Westminster bridges.
BISHOPRICK OF DURHAM.

Mr. HUME wished to ask, before the orders of the day
were proceeded with, whether it was the intention of his
Majesty's Government in any arrangement made for tilling the
vacancy of the see of Durham, that it should be subject
to the same alterations, reductions, &c., as were made
in the See of Derry some time ago, in the course of the rc=
forms which were now in progress ; and -also whether there
was to be any reduction in the amount of the salary attached to
the See.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in the
absence of his Noble Friend, could state that it was the inten-
tion of Government to introduce a Bill on the subject of the
See of Durham, 'which would comprehend not alone the
question of future emoluments, but also the immediate separa-
tion of the civil functions from the episcopal office, according
to the recommendation of the Commissioners appointed to in-
quire into the affairs of the Church..
