MEETINGS OF CREDITORS TO-MORROW.
J. Easley, coachmaker, Southwark 2 at II
I'. F. Staple, oilman, Southwark

Mr. W. Hancock, whose perseverance certainly de-
serves success, commenced running his steam carriages, the
" Enterprise " and " Erin "on Monday morning last, at nine
o'clock, from the station in the City. road to London-wall ;
from thence he proceeded to Paddington, and returned to the
City. On the first day he performed three of these journics ;
on the second four; and on the third (yesterday) two before
noon. The average time of travelling over the above ground
has been one hour and ten minutes including stoppages to take
in passengers, water, and coke. This is just half the time the
horse omnibusses take in going over the same ground. In the
nine journies performed the number of passengers carried was
220, averaging about 12 persons each single trip. Mr. Han-
cock intends to run his carriages regularly the same number of
journies daily for the present, and very Omni) to increase the
numbcr.__Njechanic's Magazine.

HARD WORK.—One of the turnkeys of :i.iewgate,
in his examination before the inspectors of prisons, says he hes
been twenty years in that gaol, and he considers that, taking
all the year round, he is seventeen hours a day on duty.

Lord G. LENNOX rose for the purpose of moving that
further time should be given to the London and Brighton
Railway Committee, to make their Report.. The Noble
Lord said he made the motion upon the ground of four
lines having been submitted to the consideration of the
Committee, which had sat no less than 39 days, and he was
sorry to say they had hardly mot through the evi-
dence of the engineers--(Laughter)—although they
had been assisted by the able talents of no less than twenty-
two Counsel.--(lncreased laughter.)—He did not, at pre-
sent, see any prospect of coming to any conclusion before
the 6th of next month. He truster', therefore, that the House,
when they considered the enormous expense the party had
been put to, and which would be completely thrown away
unless his motion was acquiesed in, would accede to It. No
less a sum than .50,0001. had been already expended. Under
the hope that no opposition would be given to the motion,
he should move that the London and Brighton Railway
Committee should make their report on or before the 6th
of July.
Captain ALSAGER seconded the motion.
Captain PECHELL could not see sufficient ground for
the House to agree to the motion. It might be very con-
venient to those members who wished to attend the Derby
and the Oaks—(Laughter)—but he could not, for the life
of him, see any reason why they should adopt a different
course to that which it had already adopted.
The SPEAKER said that accordinc, to the resolutions
upon the Railway Committee adopted by that louse, no
report could be received after the 6th of June next. They
could not enlarge the time for making a report as in former
sessions.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY suggested whether it would
not be better if the Noble Lord (Lord G. Lennox) gave
notice of a notice on the subject for to-morrow.
Lord G. LENNOX said that he had given notice on
Friday last.
Mr. C. BARCLAY had been on the Committee, and
could assure the House that they had lost no time. They
had sat from half-past eleven o'clock every day until the
period when the Speaker took the Chair, and notwithstand-
ing the circumstance of their having four competing lines
of to take into their consideration, they would
have been able to make their Report in time, but for the
adjoUrnment of the House for ten days. He would only
say, that if this proposition were not attended to, it would
be an act of manifest injustice, and he was sure that if
the President of the Board of Trade were present, he
would be the first to come forward and propose that this
additional time should be given. After the enormous ex-
pense that had been incurred, it would he an act of great
injustice if the parties got no good by it.
Sir C. BURRELL complained of the system of specu-
lation that prevailed in all these railroads.

Lord G.aLENNOX only wished for more time to ,re-
port, so that they might be able to go through the whole of
the evidence carefully. He had no objection to take till
the sth of June.

Captain PECHELL did not see how it could be im-
puted to the people of Brighton that delaY was their object,
when they wished for the termination of the labours of the
Committee.

Lord A. LENNOX said his Hon. and Gallant Friend
the Member for Brighton must have forgotten a circum-
stance which occurred a few days ago. It should be in his
recollection that a member of the Committee avowed that
he considered' anything fair which would have the effect of
defeating a particular line to which be was opposed. If he
were not inclined to listen to the wishes of the parties, at
least he should attend to the prayers of the 1,200 inha-
bitants of Brighton, who petitioned the House to pass some
line during the present Session. ,
Lord SANDON did not see that any injury could
arise to the parties interested in the railways by acceding to
the motion, and he should therefore support the proposition
for an extension of time.

Mr. WIGNEY supported the motion. He thought
the time asked for was required to enable the Committee
to come to a proper judgment between the parties ; but he
trusted the inhabitants of Brighton would have the benefit
of some line of railway receiving the sanction of the
House during the present Session.
The motion was then agreed to.
OVER ENCLOSURE BILL.
Mr. TOWNLEY brought up the Report of the Over
Enclosure Bill.
