IRISH RAIL WAYS DEPUTATION.
A numerous deputation of noblemen, Members of the
House of Commons, and gentlemen interested in the pro-
gress of railways in Ireland, bad an interview with Lord
John Russell and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on
Saturday, in Downing-street, for the purpose of inducing
the,Government to consent to the appointment of a Se-
lect Committee of the House of Commons, with the view
of inquiring into the present position of Irish railways,
and reporting upon the best means of securing the com-
pletion of such lines as would be serviceable to the coun-
try in the development of her resources.
The following noblemen and gentlemen were present:
—The Earl of Glengall, Lord Castlemaine, the Right
Hon. R. L. Sheil, the Right Hon. T. Wyse, the Hon.
Mr. Cole, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Sir Percy Nugent, Sir E.
Hayes, ir H. W. Barron, Sir Robert Ferguson, Major
Beresford, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Scully, Mr. Keatinge, Mr.
O'Flaherty, Mr. bullivana Major Blackall, the O'Gor-
man Mahon, Mr. Boyd, Mr. J. H. Hamilton, Mr. G. A.
Hamilton, Mr. St. George, Mr. J. Blake, Captain Green,
Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. J. H. Talbot, Mr. F. French,
Mr. Grace, Mr. Anstey,. Mr. J. Clay, Colonel Dunne,
Mr. H. Brown, Mr. Grogan Morgan, and Mr. Ty ell.
Sir Lucius O'Brien and Mr. Tyrell explained, that in
consequence of the depressed state of the country, the
directors of several railway companies, whose works were
in a forward state, and the half of whose capital had
been paid up, found it impossible to raise funds to com-
plete their lines. The companies who were in this po-
sition were the Cork and Bandon, Dublin and Belfast '
Junction, Londonderry and Coleraine, Londonderry and
Enniskillen, the Midland Great Western, and Waterford
and Limerick; and as they had paid np half their capital,
they were entitled to borrow 1,260,000/. The present
aspect of affairs in Ireland precluded them from raising
this sum by loans from the public, but the directors were
convinced, that if it became known that Government
would make some effort to advance those public works,
the confidence of capitalists would be restored, and the
money could be obtained. The loans which had already
been made in Ireland by the Exchequer Loan Commis-
sioners had nearly all been regularly repaid, with in-
terest so considerable that the Government had been
gainers by the transactions. The deputation begged to
add, that some of their number had lately waited upon
Lord Clarendon, and that his Excellency had expressed
great sympathy fcr the efforts now being made
by the directors of the several railway companies to
'advance their works and to afford employment to the
people.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL having inquired what effect the
loan of 500,0001. had had upon the traffic of the Great
southern and Western Railway,
Mr. REYNOLDS observed, that the loan to the Great
Western and Southern, commonly called the Cashel
Railway, had been attended with the most beneficial re-
sults. He held in his hand a statement of the receipts
of the several railway companies for the past week, con-
trasting the returns with those of the corresponding
week in 1848, and he found that the receipts of the Great
Southern and Western Railway for the past week were
3,6281., and fur the corresponding week in last year,
1,8351.; showing an increase in the past week of 1,433/.,
being at the rate of 78,0001 per annum.
Lord Joure RussEu.--The return for the week is,
no doubt, much larger than that of the corresponding
week in 1849; but have not a greater number of miles
been opened.
Mr. REYNOLDS admitted that the increase in receipts
was not solely to be attributed to the improvement in
traffic, for he found that only 90 miles of the railway
were open in 1848, but at present there were 130. The
Company had been enabled, by the assistance of the
half million loan from Government, to effect this great
extension, while the value of their property had been
greatly augmented. The shares, which were a drug in
the market before the loan at 241. each, had been in-
creased in value from, that sum to 371. per share. The
loan had also enabled the company to maintain in full
employment through the winter many thousands of per-
sons who would otherwise have been thrown upon the
unions for support. He begged to be allowed to say that
the present object of the deputation was not to advocate
the claims of any particular line of railway, but to in-
quire of the Noble Lord whether he, as the head of the
Government, would consent to the appointment of a
Committee of the House of Commons, to inquire into
and report upon the present condition of Irish railways,
with the view of recommending such of them as were
deserving of support to obtain either loans of money at
a low rate of interest, or that the Government should
guarantee the payment of the interest upon any deben-
tures that might be issued. They were of opinton,tha
as money was so abundant now, they could get all they
required if the Government would guarantee the pay-
ment of the interest.
The Earl of GLENGALL observed that the Government
might sanction the making of railways upon the same
plan that roads were made formerly, giving the security
of the tolls for the repayment. The Waterford and
Limerick Railway, of which he was the Chairman, had
nearly all its capital paid up, and was therefore in a
position to secure the repayment of any loans it might
obtain, if public confidence were restored.
Sir PERCY NUGENT observed that the body of directors
of whom be was chairman were quite willing to accept
any sum of money which the Government might be able
to give them. (This announcement was received with
loud laughter, in which Lord John Russell and the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer joined.) He had received :a
letter from his board stating that in the event of their
getting an advance, they would within a week give em-
ploymentu to 10,000 or 12,000 persons on the line between
'linger and Athlone. The company were also willing
to zo on with the line from Longford to Galway.
Mr. REYNOLDS said the Mullingar Company had
expended 800,000/. on the line, and had constructed
fifty miles of road, which would be security for the re-
turn of principal and interest.
Lor
with reference d JOHN ResseiL, hivingmade
a number of inqui-
ries ,to the ofthe value; shares of several
of the railways, asked how it happened that the compa-
nies were unable to exercise their powers borrowing in
the numerous cases in which half their capitalhadb een
paid up?
The deputationists replied that the condition of the
country generally prevented capitalists from advancing
loans on Irish security. If the Government would grant
this committee, and thus manifest an interest in the un-
dertakings, the confidence of the public would be re-
stored and abundance of money might be raised.
After some further discussion,
Lord Jonri RUSSELL stated that the application made
by the deputation for the appointment of a select com-
mittee had somewhat taken him by surprise. He was
not therefore prepared to state what course the Govern-

REMOVAL OF IRISH PAUPERS
FROM ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND.
A deputation from the inhabitants of Belfast waited
on the Right Honourable Baronet the Secretary for the
Home Department, at the Home-office, on Friday last,
for the purpose of impressing on her Majesty's Govern-
ment the necessity of an alteration in the law which re-
gulates the removal of Irish paupers from England and
Scotland. The deputation consisted of Mr. W. G;
Johnson, the Mayor of Belfast, Mr. Fenton, Mr. Bates,
and Mr. Bryden. Lord J. Chichester and Mr. Tennent,
the Members for the borough, were present during the
proceedings, and introduced the deputation to Sir George
Grey.
Mr. Johnson informed the Right Hon. Baronet that
he had been requested by a numerous body of the rate-
payers of Belfast to wait on the principal members of
her Majesty's Government, and impress on them the
hardships to which they were subjected in consequence
of the existing state of the law affecting the removal of
paupers. The port of Belfast, being the nearest port to
Scotland, was continually burdened with the importa-
tion of paupers who had emigrated to England and
Scotland, and who, not having any settlement by law in
these countries, were removed by the unions on which
they became chargeable. The paupers emigrating to
England and Scotland were generally from the southern
and western parts of Ireland; and in consequence of
Belfast being the nearest seaport to Scotland, nearly all
the Irish paupers from Scotland were sent to that port;
and being also conveniently situated in respect to Liver-
pool, which was the principal port of embarkation for
paupers removed from England to Ireland, the largest
proportion of such paupers were also shipped to that
place; the number of paupers landed on the quays at
Belfast from the 17th of July, 1847, to the 29th of Jan.,
1849, amounted to 12,100, and, according to the provi-
sions of the Irish oor-law, they became immediately
entitled to relief from the Belfast poor-law union, while
the guardians of that union had no right to apply the
poor-rates for the purpose of removing those parsons to
the places of their birth or former residence. More-
over, if they possessed such power, it was submitted that
it would not be just that the union of Belfast, with which
the pauper had previously been unconnected, and to
which he had been sent under a legal process, should
bear the expense. The maintenance of such a number
of persons, at the low rate of ls. 6d. per head, would in
one year amount to the sum of 47,190/. It was obvious,
therefore, that unless the English and Scotch law of
removal shall be altered, the consequences of this state
of things will prove most injurious to Belfast.
Sir GEORGE GREY admitted the hardship of the case,
and asked what remedy the deputation suggested?
The deputation thought that the system adopted in
England, with regard to the removal of English paupers
from the parish where they became chargeable to the
parish where they had a legal claim for relief, could be
carried out with reference to the transmission of Irish
paupers, more especially as an inquiry is always made in
England and Scotland as to the native place of the Irish
pauper before he was transmitted to Ireland. They pro-
posed, therefore, that the English precedent should be
adopted, that was to say, that when the Irish pauper be.
came chargeable on the English parish, and had no set-
tlement in England, the justice should inquire respecting
his place of birth in Ireland, and that he should be sent
there in the same manner as when an English pauper
who became chargeable on a distant parish in England
was sent to the parish where he had a claim for support.
Sir G. GREY said he would give the suggestion atten-
tive consideration, and communicate his determination to
the deputation.

the early part of the morning his hat was discovered
floating in the Surrey Canal, and drags were then used
as it was suspected his body was in the water, but it was
not found until last Tuesday. Mr. Oliver added that
he had no doubt it was the deceased's own act, as he
had lately complained very much of his head, and ex-
pressed an opinion he should go mad. He was a most
sober and honest servant, but was so absent in his mind
of late, that he appeared to neglect his (Mr. Oliver's)
interests. He often said lie was annoyed at the man of
whom he had purchased a house, :and the loss of some
money. He was well off, had property, and a coal shop.
After some other evidence, the Coroner summed up,
and the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary In-
sanity."

STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—M:kucu 9.—There has
been a little flatness in the foreign wool market this
week, but prices are well supported.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, MARCH
We have had quieter doings in sales this week,
though prices remain firm, and the
advance may be
considered as fully established. Prices in the country
are higher than in the proportion of these markets.
LEEDS.—About the same amount of business has
been clone at the Cloth-halls this week as last, but
there have been rather more goods delivered direct
during the week. The manufacturers complain
heavily that they cannot get such prices as will en-
able them to replace goods at the present price of
wool. The stocks are low, and if the demand continue
moderate, better prices must be obtained. Business
has not been quite so brisk in the warehouses this
week or during the last week or two, but the foreign
houses are doing a brisk and steady trade.
BRADFORD MARKET, MARCH B.—Wool—The
condition of the market is rather languid. Staplers
find it difficult to make sales at prices at all corre-
sponding to those asked by the growers and dealers ;
especially as
the spinners have an ample supply on
hand for present use. It will be seen that the prices
asked at the Bristol wool fair were out of all propor-
tion to those current in this market, and materially
checked business. It appears certain that
unless the country dealers adopt a more
moderate tone, the demand for the raw
material must greatly slacken. Yarns.—The
disposition to buy yarns continues, and the spinners
are generally engaged for some time to come. Prices
have now assumed a degree of fixity at 103. per gross

A railway labourer named George Howe, who
had been a gentleman's servant, was tried at York on
Saturday for the wilful murder of his daughter, Eliza
Amelia Howe. The deceased was born on the 30th of
October last, and its mother died shortly afterwards.
The prisoner, who was desirous of marrying a girl with
3001., poisoned the infant with oxalic acid, fearing it
might stand in the way of his forming the contem-
plated marriage. He was found guilty, and sentenced
to death.

At Salisbury, on Saturday, two men, named Green
and Lawrance, were sentenced to transportation for ten
years, for highway robbery. They knocked down the
prosecutor in the neighbourhood of Swindon, and whilst
two others held him down, the prisoners rifled his pockets
of considerable sum of money.
