GROUP XLIX.

the Committee en this group, Mr. Cripps (chairman),
met this morning, at twelve o'clock. and proceeded to take
the

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW (LEASES).

Mr. BIGGS ANDREWS, Q. C., explained the object of the
promoters. The promoters sought to obtain powers to lease
the Glasgow, Airdrie, and Monklands Railway ; and the Edin-
burgh and Bathgate line, which with the Airdrie and Bathgate
(the central of the three lines, and the only one at present in
their own hands) formed a continuous and almost direct line
from Glasgow to Edinburgh, a little south of the present
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. They sought these
powers as a mafter of safety to themselves, as a benefit to
the general public, and also because it met with the appro-
bation of the parties interested in these local lines, and the
proprietors and influential residents upon them.
Evidence was then called for the promoters.
Mr. HorE was hoard for the Scottish Central, whose local
Mandl was disputed.
The Committee decided that the company had a claim to
be heard in opposition.
Nothing of general importance was elicited, and the Com-
mittee adjourned at four o'clock.

GROUP LI.
The Chairman (Sir J. Y. Buller), and the other members
of the Committee met at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of
considering and arranging the clauses of
TIZZ CALEDONIAN (CANONBIE, &c.,
33R.A.NCIE).

Mr. COCKBURN', for the Caledonian Railway Company,
brought forward a clause making it binding on the pro-
moters to allow the Glasgow and Dumfries Railway to run
their traffic free over that part of their opponents line, from
Springfield to Carlisle, and in the event of any unnecessary
obstruction being offered, it should be in the power of the
Railway Commissioners to make such regulations as should
remove such unnecessary obstruction.
Mr. AUSTIN objected that the carriages should not go
free, and also that this clause, as at present framed, would
give the promoters power to throw every sort of impediment
i❑ the way of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway
traffic.

The room was ordered to be cleared, and on parties being
re-admitted, _ _ _

The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had agreed
to accept Mr. Cockbum's clause, with certain amendments.
The clause, as passed, furnished the Railway Commissioners
with power to interfere between the Caledonian and Glasgow
and Dumfries Companies in a representation from one or
both of them, provided always that no limit, or alteration, or
restriction, should be placed on the rates or tolls of the
Caledonian Company, as granted by their Act of 1845; and
further, that the engines of the Dumfries Company should
not be permitted to pass over or along the Caledonian line.
The other clause. were passed, and the Chairman was
ordered to report the Bill (as we understood) on Tuesday.

entirely different from all others, to surpass anything
has been, or probably ever can be
ear se that it rests within, without projecting, which can be inserted
in the ears and removed in company unobserved ; and, being of the
same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. The
powers of this
valuable new invention are so great as to bring very defective hear-

deaf persons to enjoy general conversation, to hear distinctly at
church, on the bench, at the barZand atpublic e bll • the un-

assistance that possibly could be desired. Also improved hearing
Trumpets of every description. The newly-invented Spectacles,
immediately they are placed before extremely imperfect vision, that
mist and dullness which appear before the eyes is at once removed,
every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged im-
perfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youth-
ful, natural and original state. Also Achromatic Telescopes, Opera

case to exhibit their Perukes, containing thirty different
styles of wearing the hair, thus enabling every one to choose
what is most becoming
