CUSTOM DUTIES.

CASE OF CATHERINE FOSTER.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said he wished to
direct the attention of the Government to the execu-
tion of an unfortunate woman on Saturday last, at
Bury St. Edmunds. It appeared from the newspapers
that upwards of 10,000 persons were present. The
execution was conducted in such a manner as to pro-
long the sufferings of the unfortunate creature for a
considerable space of time ; and the assemblage of per-
sons were so struck and horrified at the circumstance,
that they called out shame, shame, murder, murder.
He was one of those persons who unfortunately thought
that this mode of punishing crime ought to be conti-
nued, but still he thought the sufferings of the unfortu-
nate beings who came to those untimely ends should not
be protracted by the carelessness or brutality of the exe-
cutioner. A short time ago a similar case to this oc-
curred, and on its being brought under the attention of
the Right lion. Baronet the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, a promise was given that the matter
should be looked into, and measures taken to prevent a
recurre.ce of such a proceeding. Many years ago he
was quartered in the town of Sligo when an unfortunate
man was brought out for execution. The drop being
exceedingly high, the rope broke, and the man
fell into the street, • breaking both legs, and
fracturing several of his ribs, and yet in that state he
was carried up again, and the sentence of the law exe-
cuted upon him. A similar case having occurred in the
very heart of the kingdom, he thought it was a proper
occasion upon which to call upon the Government to
take steps to prevent a recurrence of such scenes.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said Government
would cause a careful inquiry to be made into the cir-
cumstances.
He agreed with his Noble Friend that,
while it was necessary to continue this mode of punish-
ment, it ought to bo carried out with all due solemnity
and caution.
The subject then dropped.
MUTINY BILL.
This Bill went through Committee, and the report
was ordered to be brought up to-morrow (this day).
London, England, 1847-04-20

POOR LAW.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he had
another petition to present, which was of a very different
Character. It was against the Poor•law Removal Bill,
and he would take that opportunity of stating that as
there were two Bills bearing upon this subject, one for
the extension of the poor-law in Ireland, and the other to
enable landed proprietors to dispose of their estates with
more facility than they now possessed, which might pos-
sibly clash with each other, he proposed to take the
second reading of them both on the same day, and would
therefore fix them for Thur-day next.
Lord STANLEY.presented several petitions, both for
and against the Irish poor-law.
The Earl of RADNOR presented several petitions
against the Government scheme of education.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented four petitions to
the same effect.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES. ,3
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

GROUP XVI.
The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, Mr.
Kemble in the chair.
GREAT NORTHERN BRANCHES.
The first witness examined was Mr. Cater, an extensive
malstcr at Ware, who said he was constantly in the habit of
sending large quantities Of malt to London to the large
brewers, and that he should use the proposed
Hertford Branch and the Great Northern for the
purpose of transmitting it to its destination. The
station at King's-cross of the Great Northern Railway
would be of great advantage to him, being convenient.
L. would enable him to save several hundreds a year. Be-
=ides, it was much nearer the large breweries. Did not con'
,ider that the unopened line from Stratford to the Thames
would be available for the purpose of taking malt from the
maul line to the Thames, for the purpose of being transmit-
ted by barg,s to the breweries contiguous to the river. He
was generally in favour of the proposed branches, as com-
munication east and west was greatly required. In fact, he
was in favour of all the lines, as competition brought down
the prices to a far amount.
Mr. Nunn, a surveyor and innkeeper at Hertford, gave
corroborative evidence. The only public conveyance be-
tween Hertford, Hatfield, and St. Alban's, was a covered
van for goods and passengers, which went to and fro once
a tiny.
Mr. W. Nunn, an ironmonger at Hertford, and Mr. Webb,
a landowner, gave similar evidence.
rest of the day was occupied in hearing traffic evi-
deuce.

GROUP XXXIV.
MANCHESTER DISTRICT.
This Committee, consisting of Mr. Francis Baring, Mr'
Palmer, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Compton, and Mr. Wykeham
Martin, met for the first time at ball-past twelve o'clock to-
day, in Room No. 31.
The Bills submitted to them for consideration were—
The Rochdale Canal (sale to the Manchester and Leal.
Railway Company).
app
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire (station a
in Manchester).
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire (branch from
Ashton-under-Lyne to Oldham).
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire (Ashton Gana •
Purchase).
Huddersfield and Manchester (Deviations).
Ditto (Branches). •
London and North-Western (Lease of Manchester and
Huddersfield Railway), &c.
Mr. BARING having taken the chair, announced that ss
no report had been received from the Railway Commissioners
on any of the schemes in the group, the Committee would
adjourn till that day week.
'rue Committee thereupon adjourned. •

London, England, 1847-04-20

SLEAFORD BRANCH.

Mr. Sergeant \VRANGIIAM opened on behalf of this branch,
which is to form a continuation of the London and York
branch, but the evidence isito be taken to-morrow (this day).

GROUP XLVII.
This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, the Ron.
E. Yorke in the chair.

WILSONTOWN, MORNTNGSIDE, AND
COLTNESS (BRANCHES TO BENHAR)
BILL.

This Bill was then proceeded with.
It was petitioned against by Mr. Mann, the agent of Mr.
Dixon, an ironmaster in the district, for whom Mr. Sergeant
Murphy appeared. Mr. Andrews was for the promoters.
Mr. ANDREWS opened the case, stating that the line was
a short mineral branch, to open up the Benhar mineral dis-
trict with Glasgow and Edinburgh. It was estimated to cost
24,705/., and would prove highly remunerative. The coal
and limestone that would be opened up amounted to many
millions of tons.

Mr. M'Creath, mining engineer, gave evidence as to the
mineral capabilities of the district, and the benefits which
the line would insure.
Mr. William M'Creath—He had examined the coal-fields
and reported to the promoters of this project. He had bored
in two places and found that the aggregate depth of the
working seam was ten feet, and that there Are some
16,000,000 of tons. in all, that might be brought to the sur-
face. The whole country was rich in coal, and he had never
heard that a doubt had existed as to the existence of coal in
great quantities in this particular locality.
Mr. Williamson, mineral surveyor, gave similar evidence.
He had no doubt that the Opening of these fields would, in a
considerable degree, lower the price cf fine coals in Edin-
burgh, and he blieved that the furnaces—some seventy in
all, would be principally supplied from Benhar.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

RAILWAY.
This case, which is on the opposed list, again came under
the consideration of the Examiner. After a number of
formal proofs had been tendered the case was further ad-
journed.

FOOT RACES AT PEctistAm.—Somethousands congregated
yesterday at the Rosemary Branch to witness the competi-
tion for a silver cup, value twenty guineas, to be presented
by mine host ( Smith) to the victor in a twelve-mile walking
match, for which the following men appeared at the scratch,
and were thus handicapped :—Wright, the Bermondsey
Novice, 200 yards start ; Samuel East, of Westminster, 100
yards start ; and Charles Westhall, Benjamin Butler, and
George Bradshaw to commence level. The match i$ soon
told—at four-and-a-half miles Westhall had made such speed
as to get one turn, 780 yards, out of Butler and East,wi
at the end of 38 minutes walked off, and Bradshaw did the
same a little beyond the fifth mile. The Novice and West-
hall now were left alone; Wright, although nearly over-
hauled by a turn and his 200 yards start, walking gamely
and well. At the fifteenth turn (7 miles), the time made by
Westhall was lh. lm. ICsec., by Wright 63m. 175., at the
Bth mile Wright being 3 minutes behind, also gave in, and
Westhall finished the distance at his leisure. For the twenty-
mile race Manks, the Warwickshire Antelope, Brookson, of
Garrett, and Thomas Cook, of Greenwich, appeared at the
post.
Brookson had 200 yards start, and CookmlaoOnksyanrodws

MELANCHOLY EVENT.—OH Thursday morning, a
a house in Hanover-lane was observed to be on fire, and al-
;hough every effort was made to overcome the flames, the
house was entirely destroyed. This was not all; an unfortu-
nate woman, the wife of a ship-master, who occupied a por-
tion
of the house, was burned to death. The fire had origi
in her sleeping apartment, and the body, when found,
presented a most frightful spectacle.-4berdeett Harald.

" From the evidence which has come before us, we
have as yet no means of ascertaining how the melan-
choly fire originated, but we do not attribute blame or want
of proper precautions to either the owners, captain, or
crew of this iil- fated steamer.
" The jury desire to express their high admiration of
the truly noble and praiseworthy and spirited conduct of
Captain W. Pullen and the crew of the Bessy smack, by
whose exertions, assisted also by the crew of the steamer,
69 human beings were rescued from an untimely death
We strongly recommend Captain Pullen and his crew
to the favourable consideration of the owners of the
steamer, also to the Ilurnane Society. We beg also to
express our unanimous disapprobation and censure of the
conduct of the captain and crew of the smack Frederick,
for the heartless arid unfeeling conduct exhibited by them
in not affording the sufferers every assistance within their
power."

EDUCATION.

Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from the Catho-
lics of Dtptford against the scheme for the benefit of
education.

Mr. GISBORNE presented a petition from the Roman
Catholics of Stafford:shire to the same effect.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Colonel SIBTLLORP postponed till Tuesday next the
following motion respecting railway accidents, as he un-
derstood it was the intention of the Hon. Member for
Sunderland to oppose it :—A return of the sums of
money actually paid by each railway company as com-
pensation to the widow and children of persons killed, or
to the individuals who have been injured in travelling by
or while employed on each railway, from 1840 to the
present period, stating the nature of each accident, and
the amount which has been given in each case.
IRISH RAILWAYS.

Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL presented petitions for the
encouragement of railways in Ireland from the guar-
dians of the county of Cork and Kilkenny, and from the
grand jury of Kerry.
HEALTH OF TOWNS.

Sir W. CLAY presented a petition from the inhabi.
tants of the Tower Hamlets in favour of the Bill for
this purpose.

NAVIGATION LAWS.

The HON. MEMBER also presented a petition from
Limehouse against a repeal of the navigation-laws.
MEXICO.

Dr. BOWRING said that seeing the Noble Lord at
the head of the Foreign Department in his place, and as
there was no business before the [louse, he wished to ask
whether her M ljesty's Government intended to take any
measures for preveeting the lamentable state of things
now existing between the Americans of the United
States and the Mexicans, and to prevent a repetition of
the dreadful effusion of blood which had lately ensued.
L,ird PALMERSTON had to state, in reply to the
question of the lion. and Learned Gentleman, that
the late Government tendered its good offices between
the two parties, and the present Government had re-
peated the offer in a more formal manner, but in
n,ither case had the parties availed themselves of the
offer. Of course, u: der these circumstances, however
much they might lament this state of things, they could
I not interfere.—(ldear, hear.)
PRIVATE BILLS.

Mr. HUME moved that it is expedient that the con-
stitution and practice of all Committees on Private Bills,
in future sessions of Parliament, should be assimilated as
nearly as may be to those of Committees on Railway
Bills; and that it be an instruction to the Committee for
revision of standing orders to make provision accordingly.
Sir R. H. INGLIS said there were many objections
to the principle of this resolution, and as it was likely to
give rise to a good deal of discussion, he hoped his Hon.
Friend would postpone it, in order that the more im-
portant motion relating to Portugal might be proceeded
with.
Mr. HUME did not think the motion was likely to
rise to a discussion, because he undo/1440a its

WINDSOR.

All doubts as to the person who would offer himself
to " the free and independent electors of Windsor" as
the Government candidate at the ensuing election were
set at rest yesterday evening by the issuing of the ad-
dress of Lord John Hay, one of the Lords of the Ad-
miralty. His Lordship says—" As the Parliament will,
in all probability, be dissolved at no very distant period,
I beg most respectfully to offer myself as a candidate for
the honour of representing your ancient and distin-
Kuished borough at the approaching election." His ad-
dress concludes by stating that " he will take an early
opportunity of personally waiting upon the electors, and
of soliciting the honour of their support, when he shall
be prepared to state his views on all those important
questions which necessarily interest the public of this
great country." Mr. Neville not having, as yet, issued
any address to the electors, has led to a rumour that it is
not his intention again to contest the representation of
the borough, but that he intends (in the absence of any
other candidate standing for the borough) to let Lord
John Hay and Colonel Reid walk over the course. His
friends. however, especially those wh brought him for.
ward in li4 l, confidently state that he is fully di-ter-
mined, at all haz .rds, not only to be put in nomination,
but to proceed to the poll. On the other hand, a coati
Lion has been spoken of between the Government candi-
date and Mr. Neville. There appears to be not the least
foundation for this rumour. Colonel R. id's friends are
sanguine with the friends of Mr. N..ville. Lord
John H.y's return (with the Government and Castle in-
teresi) has been " twoked" as certain. His Lordship's
address is dated from the Admiralty.

NORTH DURHAM.

None of the candidates have yet commenced a perso-
nal canvass, but Mr. Shafto's agents in each polling dis-
trict are working in a quiet way to advance the interests
of their candidate; and Mr. Shafto has addressed to
each el«ctor the following circular:—

" Having offered myseit as a cat:didate for the northern
division of the county of Durham, I take the liberty of
soliciting the favour of your vote and interest. I shall
take an early oppirtunity of paying my ret•pecta to
every elector m the division ; and I hope, in the mean-
time, I may be excused for soliciting by letter a favour
widen is tint in my power to ask in person at the present
mom, tit."

It hi Low certain that Lord Seaham will not be a can-
didate, and there are indications that the influence of
Lord Londom.etry wilt be quiescent in the approaching
strugg;e. Colonel Beckvvitti's party speak very conti•
(lenity of z u eces a, but thete is no apparent concvat be-
tween the Liceral candidates, and a coalition is now con-
sidered bar, ly pos.ible. If each candidate Ntatids a con
test itidependent • f rival interests, the struggle will be
an arduous one in the present divided state of the Con-
servative party.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.
Price Is. it/d. per box.
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common
symptoms of which are costiveness, flatniency, spasms, loss of appe-
tite, sick head-ache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness
of the eye:, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels. In-
digestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent inac-
tivity of the bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of
the frame. will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perse-
verance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince
the afflicted of its salutary effects. Tho stomach will speedily regain
its strength ; a healthy action of the I,ver, bowels, and kidneys will
rapidly take place; and, instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun-
diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, will be the
quick result of taking th,,E medicine, according to the directions ac-
companying each box ; and if taken atter too free an indulgence at
table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
Cerson: of a full habit, who are subject to head-ache, giddiness,
drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a flow of
blood to the head, should never be without them, as many dangerous
symptoms will he entirely carried off by their immediate use.
For Females these Pills ace most truly excellent, removing all ob-
structions; the distr..ssing Ilead- ache, so very prevalent with the
sex ; depression of spill's, dulness of sight, nervous affections,
blotches, nannies, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy and
juvenile bloom to the complexion.
As a pleasant. safe, easy aperient, they unite the recommendation
of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no
resirai .t of diet or continen.ent .Turing their us..; and for Elderly
Peowe they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hi-
therto prepared

I LONDON, SATURDAY. JUNE 12, 1847.

After an elaborate and lengthy discussion the
House of Commons, upon a division being taken,
decided upon going into Committee on the Prisons
Bill. The whole question of convict discipline was
opened up, and it certainly is one which is fraught
with considerable difficulty in any attempt to arrive
at a Round judgment as to what is best to be done for
the future. The old system of transportation cannot
be persevered in, and, considering the evils with which
it was pregnant to the colonies, it is, if not sur-
prising, certainly reproachful to us that we con-
tinued it as long as we did. Whether transporta-
tion can be so ameliorated as to render it effectual
in deterring others from the commission of crime,
conducive to the reformation of the convict, and,
lastly, instrumental in promoting the welfare of the
colonies, is clearly the preliminary and most impor-
tant question, to the mastery whereof the Legislature
should, brace its utmost intellectual powers. If the
issue of their deliberations should come short of the
above requirements, which are essential to reconcile
an enlightened people to the maintenance of exile,
permanent and temporary, as a punishment, then it
become too clear that we shall be driver
back up•n the alternative of
abolishing trans-
portation altogether. And thus
thequestion,
viewed in connexion with the
growing
of the public to capital punishment,andto their like
al-
most universal preference of secondary punishment,
which is instinctively consonant with the first
prin-
ciples of humanity, becomes one of the most serious
nature. The difficulty of dealing with it is enhanced
by the reflection that we have no actual experience of
our own, nor any that we can safely collect from the
results of criminal functions in other countries, to
guide us at once to the decision whether transporta-
tion can be modified conformably with the objects
above enumerated. Nothing is left to us but a resort
to the experiment:lm crucis. It appears to us, then, that
the measures are wisely framed with the view ofthrow-
ing such additional light upon the vezata questio as, bythe
course they mean to pursue, will in a short period
enable us to solve the perplexing proposition, whether
transportation shall be contirued or not, with far
greater satisfaction to ourselves and security to the
public; and the opponents of the Government go too
far when they assert that these measures are tants.
