MIDLAND CONNECTING.

➢lr. MoscalurF opened the merits of this Bill, which, he
said, was for a short junction effecting a better connexion
between the Arbroath and Forfar and the Scottish Midland,
so as to avoid backing the through traffic in order to get on
the Scottish Midland.
Mr. Gibbs, civil engineer, said the object of the proposed
connexion was to offer a more convenient connexion between

the two lines of rail ay. The length of the projected line
was two miles and two furlongs, almost throughout on a
level, and the estimated expense was 36,0001.
Mr. Cubitt approved of the present line for the in-
tended object ; but he thought there might be a better pro-
ject than either.
This excited some conversation on both sides as to the
propriety of a mutual understanding and compromise be-
tween the Arbroath and Forfar, who promotedithe Bill,
and their opponents, the Scottish Midlands. After some
deliberation on both sides,
The Committee adjourned till Tuesday, the Ist of June,
twelve o'clock, that parties might have time for mutual
consultation with a view to a Bill next session.

This Committee met this day in Room 16; Sir Dennis le
Marchant, chairman, and proceeded to take the

EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (ST. AN-
DREW'S AND NEWBURGH BRANCHES).

Traffic evidence was taken in favour of the promoters, and
the formal proofs were put in by the secretary of the com-
pany. This closed the case for the promoters.
Mr. WHATELKY,: Q.C., addressed the Committee for a Mr.
Hay, of Maydrum, and then called witnesses to prove the
injury to his property if this Bill were sanctioned.
Mr. Ross then opened for the Cupar-road trustees, who were
also petitioners against the Bill.
The Committee then broke up.

GROUP XLVI.
NORTH intrrxsix RAXX.V7AY (No. X).

_ .
The Committee met at the usual hour, Mr. Bother=
chairman.

The CHAIRMAN stated the House would adjourn to-mor-
row, bat that it was the intention of the Committee to sit
upon that day, and also that after that day the Committee
would not meet again until Tuesday week.
The cross-examination of Mr. Miller was then resumed
by Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS—The proposed line would take
about ten acres of the property of Mr. Miller. The water-
courses made for the purposes of irrigation were not shown
upon the Parliamentary sections. Iu such parts where
the railway would pass below the level of the water
courses, there would be no difficulty in carrying
the water across the line by means of a syphon ;
ample provision was made for these expenses, under the head
of contingencies. The radius of the curve at the part in
question of the railway wcs ten chains. The railway would
cross upon the level over several of the roads in the neigh-
bourhood of Mr. Miller's property. -Upon the roads pro-
posed to be crossed on Mr. Miller's property, there was a
considerable traffic, chiefly among Mr. Miller's tenants, who
were very numerous. He did not anticipate any objection
from crossing the roads on the proposed plan. The North
British crossed many of the roads by the same mode.

Application was then made on the part of the Leith and
Granton Railway Company, to cross-examine the witness.
After some discussion upon the question of their locus
standi, the room was ordered to be cleared, and the Committee
decided that they should not be allowed to be heard.
Mr. Merrit, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce at
Leith, gave favourable evidence of a similar nature.

Mr. 'Wilson, banker, of Kelso, also gave evidence to the
same effect.

This closed the case on behalf of the promoters.
Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS then addressed the Committee on
behalf of Mr. Miller, and contended that a better line could
have been found, and one which would not at all have inter-
fered with the property of his client. At the conclusion of
his address,
The Committee adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1847.

Dissension must still continue prevalent in Por-
tugal, for the Junta are naturally sceptical as to the
sincerity of a SOVEREIGN who has so shamefully and
incessantly deceived the country, and the members of
the Provisional Government of Oporto consequently
demand guarantees for the fulfilment of the arrange-
ments proposed by Colonel WYLDE. It is impossible
to regard the conduct of the popular party in this
particular with any degree of astonishment. Having
by extraordinary perseverance and remarkable intel-
ligence obtained the supremacy in that portion of the
Peninsula, the leaden of the revolted Portuguese are
very reasonably unwilling to renounce the advan-
geeta they have so arduously sequired, At the

Major Burn, superintendent of the collieries of the Marquis
of Londonderry, and several other witnesses gave evidence
as to the inconvenience of the monopoly, as they termed it,
of Mr. Hudson's line from York to Newcastle, stating that
coals had now to pay as much as threehalfpence per ton per
mile for carriage in consequence. As there was no accom-
modation for the press it is impossible to report the pro-
ceedings in full.

TIO THE CARPET TRADE.
ROYAL VICTORIA FELT CARPETING, manufactured
without nning or weaving. Patronized by her Most Gracious
Majesty, nd used in the Royal Palaces. This description of carpet-
ing has now become one of the established manufactures of this
country. Its advantages are beauty of design (equal to Brussels),
imperviousness to dust, durability, and more especially economy, as,
it can be purchased for less thap half the price of Brussels. The
Patent Woollen Cloth Company, who are the sole manufacturers
under the patent, having availed themselves of the rapid strides now
making in the arts of design in this country, inform the trade that
their patterns for the present season are now out, and that they will
be found far in advance of all hitherto produced, and suitable for
every description of room and decoration. The public can be sup-
plied through their agents In nearly all the provincial towns In
England, Scotland, and Ireland, and at every respectable carpet
house in London and its suburbs. They also manufacture table
covers and window curtains, embossed and printed, in a great
variety of elegant a d novel designs ; plain cloths suitable for up-
holsterers; cloths ad rdrably adapted for coach and railway carriage
linings; waistcoatings ; thick telt for plate glass and marble polish-

EAST LANCASHIRE DEVIATIONS (RAW.
STENSTALL COAL BRANCH).

The Committee met this morning, Mr. Fitzroy in the
chair, when they first took the Rawstenstall Branch, which
is merely a short extension, of ten chains lona, of the East
Lancashire line, to enable the directors to get at certain va-
luable beds of coal. There was no opposition to the Bill.

THE PAUPER DESFRANCHISED.
_ .

Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN asked the Solicitor-
General for Ireland whether the fact of having received
relief under the Poor law Act since the registering, dis-
franchises the voter; and in the event of his reply in the
negative, to ask whether it be the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to bring in a Bill on this subjtc:,
during the present session.

The. SOI.ICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland said the
question involved great difficulty, for Committees on
special cases had differed from each other invariably,
and came to contradictory conclusions. It appeared
that in England, after the passing of the Reform Bill,
any person receiving relief within a year of the county
registration was not entitled to be registered. But in
Ireland the fact of receivin relief did not disfranchise
the county voter. The same law affected the burghs.
LOAN OF £300,000.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCLIEQUER said he
had, in March last, moved for a vote of 300,0001. for the
Relief Commission, Ireland, by way of loan, on the
security of the rates, and he now gave notice that he
would move a similar vote in the House on Friday next.
Mr. HUME hoped at the same time the Right Hon.
Gentleman would give an account of the manner in
which the other sum had been expanded.
SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION BILL.

Mr. SPOONER, in reply to a question, said there
were only seven names opposed to the Bill. He did not
know whether these seven gentlemen were necessarily
seven wise men; but he begged distinctly to say
that he would proceed with the first reading
of the Bill at the earliest opportunity, without con-
sideration of the convenience of these Hon. Gentlemen.
He had presented a petition from a woman who was
committed for what was called an illegal offence.
Sir G. GREY said—A case had been brought to the
Home-office in reference to the matter to which the
Hon. Gentleman alluded, but there was nothing
to convict the magistrate concerned in Ihe matter
of anything like illegallity in the conviction in question.
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK said—lle wished to
observe, with reference to the motion for a vote of
300,0001. for the relief works in Ireland, that he hoped
the Government would be able to tell the country how it
occurred, that the number of persons employed in
Ireland on the relief works was reduced from 700,000 to
244,000.

Mr. LABOUCHERE explained that it could not be
expected that at present there should be a great
number of persons employed in the relief works in Ireland
As soon as the new system could be carried out, their
employment would cease. It was no fault of the Govern-
ment that the system of public works had not been dis-
continued a long time ago.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN said that he considered

that the present was a fitting opportunity to complain
that the second question which he asked had not been
answered, he wished to call the attention of her ➢la-
jesty's Government to that question, and inquire whether
it was their intention to bring in any Bill upon the
subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the Government had determined to take the matter into
consideration.

FINE ARTS.
SCOTLAND DELINEATED. Part 111.
Accustomed as we are to the gorgeous productions. of
the combined arts of printing and engravmg, we are
certainly amazed at the beauty and dimensions of this
very remarkable serial. Each number is a portfolio of
historical or topographical drawings from the pencils of
some of our most eminent draughtsmen. Clarkson
Stanfield is among these illustrators, Thomas Crebwick
is among them, George Cattermole is among them, and
so also is David Roberts. Besides these distinguished
artists there are others of acknowledged excellence,
and the whole are boldly and exquisitely litho-
graphed by J. D. Harding. It is impossible to give any
ad. quate conception of the work by the most minute
description of a single number, or even of half a dozen
numbers. The brilliant and capacious type must be
seen, the large and massive pictorial leaves must be
turned over and contemplated, to convey a proper idea
of the general character of the undertaking. A finer
or more diversified sub.:}ect could not have been selected
than that of the natural and artificial scenery of Scotland,
" the land of brown heath and hanging wood," a land in
the delineation of which the artistic mind of Roberts
revels.

The Chairman and the other members of the Committee
met to-day.
EAST LANCASHIRE (SOUTHPORT !RANCH
AND PRESTON EXTENSION).
Mr. BILANDT having brieflropened the case for the pro-
moters of the Bill, the following evidence was adduced :
Mr. Ascroff, a solicitor, was examined, and stated that he
thought a deviation of the line would be injurious. He
could not tell whether this line of railway would or would
not affect injuriously a considerable portion of Mr. Norris's
property, as he did not know the extent of that property.
Mr. Manchester, of Preston, examined—Was acquainted
with the present station, which was much crowded, and he
bad no doubt that improved accommodation for traffic was
required in the neighbourhood. It would be of great advan-
tage to the public to have the direct line to Liverpool.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALYERT—He thought the con-
fusion which he spoke of at the present station could not
be remedied merely by an increase of its area.
Mr. Rintler, an innkeeper, resident three and a half miles
from Preston, was examined, and corroborated the testimony
of the preceding witnesses, having experienced much incon-
venience at the present station at Preston.
Some further evidence on this point was adduced, when the
Committee decided that they had heard enough.
Mr. CALVERT addressed the Committee on the part of the
opponents of the Bill, and some evidence was adduced in their
behalf to prove residential injury.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday week.

The Committee met at the usual hour; Mr. Deedes in the
chair.
WILTS, SOMERSET AND vszyIVIOITTII
AMENDMENT (NO. XX).
The Committee was occupied during the whole of the dad•
in hearing the evidence of witnesses from Shaftesbury and
Salisbury, in favour of the proposed lines of the Great
Western Railway, of which the Wilts, Somerset and Wey-
mouth is one portion. The evidence of the witnesses showed
no tact of importance, beyond that which has been already
reported.
Mr. Bide, of Yeovil, was called in order to show that
the opinion of the majority of the people of Yeovil was
opposed to the scheme of the London and South-Western
Company, and in favour of the schemes projected by the
Great Western Company.
At the conclusion of uis evidence the Committee adjourned.
London, England, 1847-05-21

MIDLAND CONNECTING.

Mr. MoxcatErF opened the merits of this Bill, which, he
said, was for a short junction effecting a better connexion
between the Arbroath and Forfar and the Scottish Midland,
so as to avoid backing the through traffic in order to get on
the Scottish Midland.

Mr. Gibbs, civil engineer, said the object of the proposed
connexion was to offer a more convenient connexion between
the two lines of railway. The length of the projected line
was two miles and two furlongs, almost throughout on a
level, and the estimated expense was 36,0001.
Mr. Cubitt approved of the present line for the in-
tended object; but he thought there might be a better pro-
ject than either.
This excited some conversation on both sides as to the
propriety of a mutual understanding and compromise be-
tween the Arbroath and Forfar, who promoted the Bill,
and their opponents, the Scottish Midlands. After some
deliberation on both sides,
The Committee adjourned till Tuesday, the Ist of June, at
twelve o'clock, that parties might have time for mutual
consultation with a view to a Bill next session.

GLASGOW, AVIDEIE, AND inowxxiaNris
JUNCTION (COviLAXILS, CONTRA'. JUNC-
TION, AND CAXMLYLE BRANCHES).
The case for the Caledonian Company in opposition to the
Bill was then taken.

Mr. Collister, C.E., examined, and deposed that he was
the resident engineer of the Caledonian Company, now con-
nected with the Polloc and Govan. The terminus would be
at the south side of the river, and the main line would be
opened in about November next. The present scheme would
tirosa their main line on the level. There were two lines of
