bath Bills arc a nuisance, worthy only to be broug'

forward by a Praise-God-Barebones in a Parliaimnt
of Puritans. Away with them then. Away with one
and all. Let them be torn to atoms and scattered
to the four winds of heaven.

We are happy to announce that Parliament wil
shortly be afforded an opportunity of doing justice to
to the surviving Danish claimants. In the House of
COIIIIIIOIIS last night, the Hon. Member for the Tower
Hamlets, Mr. CLAY, presented a petition from that
greatly injured body, when he gave notice that on the
31st inst., he would bring the question regularly before
the House. Mr. G. F. YOUNG, who supported the
petition, expressed the satisfaction which he derived
from the course adopted by his Honourable
Friend; adding that he himself had determined to
adopt a similar course, had Mr. CLAY not given no-
tice of a motion on the subject. We trust that the
Government will talc the claims of the petitioners into
its
.serious consideration, and that now, even at the
eleventh hour, it will do justice to the most ill-used
body of men in existence. In this particular case,
England was virtually the robber of her own people ;
and to withhold redress, because the Minister who
counselled the wrong cannot be made responsible, is
to declare that the public faith of Great Britain is not
a sufficient guarantee for the cargo of a whaler.

The Times of this Morning deprecates, in the
strongest terms, what it pleases to call, the intended
hushing up of a certain delicate affair, in which a
leading Cabinet Minister is supposed to be involved.
We wonder our Contemporary did not express the
same virtuous horror, when the Carlton Club paid
ten thousad pounds—money, down on the nail—for
the hushing up of an affair of a similar character,
in which a certain Tory Ex-Lord Chancellor
was notoriously implicated I If the compromise be
bad now---and in the present instance the whole is a
mere matter of rumour—how much more so must it
have been, when the person involved was'the keeper of
the KING'S conscience—the fountain-head of law--
the great dispenser of church patronage ? Perhaps
some of our Tory friends will resolve this perple
xino
question.

We have received the Prospectus of a new Railroad
Company, started with the double purpose of connect-
ing all lines of railroad terminating in the immediate
vicinity of London, and of carrying branches to Rich-
mond and several other populous districts, within a
short distance of the capital. Friendly as We have
always been to such projects, we feel confident that
none will attribute to us personally interested motives in
wishing the new Company all the success to which its
efforts to benefit the public may entitle it.

were the first to advocate the laying down of railways
as absolutely necessary to the maintenance of our
g
social and commercial position in Europe ; and we
have now the pleasure of observing that there is
intelligent person in the kingdom who differs from us
on the question of their utility. As the New Com-
pany will allow a year to intervene before makin
application to Parliament, the public will have no
ground for complaining that it has been taken by sur-
prise. The following account of the proposed line is
from the Prospectus :
The Route of the proposed line will commence at South-
wark Bridge, and will proceed bearing south-west through
