CONDITIONS.

The promoters of such Bills are to give notice in
the Private Bill-office, on or before the 18th day of
June ; or if the Bill shall be in Committee, then
within six days of the report of the Committee, of
their intention to suspend any further proceedings
th(reon, on the completion of some subsequent stage of
the Bill.

The promoters of such Bills are to give notice by ad-
vertisement for three successive weeks, in October and
November, in the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Ga-
zette, as the case may be, and in the local paper or
papers usually in circulation in any part of the country
through which the line of railway is proposed to pass, of
:heir intention to present a petition for the re-introduc-
ion of any such Bill.
Upon a petition for leave to bring in a railway Bill
being presented during the session of 1848, and referred
to the examiner of petitions, he is to examine whether
the petition be the same in substance as any petition for
the same purpose, and from the same parties, which was
presented in the session of 1847 ; and in that case,
whether any Bill brought into the House in pursuance of
such petition in the session of 1847 was pending in
either House of Parliament on the termination of such
session, and, if so, whether a subscription contract, as
required by the standing orders, binding in the usual
way the subscribers to the undertaking, has been entered
into, and is valid at the time of such inquiry, and
whether the deposit of 101. per cent. upon such subscrip-
tions is lodged in the manner required by the standing 1
orders.

In such case, and on proof of such notice having been
given as aforesaid, and if it appears that such Bill had,
in the session of 1847, been suspended in the House of
Lords, or in the House of Commons, on or after the
second reading, the standing orders, with respect to any
such Bill, are to be held to have been complied with.
The time bstiveen the sec'md reading of any such Bill

to three clear days, the parties to give the regular notices
at the Private Bill-office. _ _

In case such Bill shall have been reported in the ses-
sion of 1847, the Committee on the Bill are to examine
whether the Bill be in every respect the same as such
former Bill at the last stage of its proceeding in the
House in the session of 1847, and in such case no evi-
dence is to be received by such Committee ; and on the
teception and adoption by the House of a report of such
Committee that the Bill referred to them is in every
respect the same as such former Bill at the last stage of
its proceeding in the House in the session of 1847, such
Bill may be ordered to be engrossed without any farther
proceeding in respect thereof.
2. That the deposits made in respect of all railway

c. 16, s. 24), out of the capital authorised to be raised in
s❑ch Bill, either by means of calls, or of any power of
borrowing contained therein.

4. That in all cases ofaiplication to Parliament by
existing railway companies, either for powers to con-
struct branches or extensions, or to contribute towards
t\l'OSLlll3MlilfontrtiEt ior'lnree-lourtis of such additional

poses of any application to Parliament for a Bill for the
construction of another railway.
6. That in every Bill of the present session containing
powers of purchase, sale, lease, or amalgamation, a clause
shall be inserted prohibiting any company from exer-

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris.
is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 118.
1014 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange ol
25.55 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.571, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer in Londe in
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 4351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 178.
10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
13.101 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in
Hamburgh than in London.

MODEL LODGING-1101ISE.—The society for improv-
ing the condition of the labouring classes have opened a
model lodging-house in Charles-street, Drury-lane. It pro-
vides for the accommodation of single labouring men in a
way that must be an immense improvement upon the dens
which so many congregate nightly about St. Giles's and
elsewhere. Each inmate here by paying 4d. per night, or
2s. a week, is provided with a separate bed, the means at
washing (including a bath, towels, soap, &c.), a fire to cook
his food at, and a room to sit in during the evening or ancy
unemployed hours. He will also, we believe, as soon as one
can be established, have the use of a small library. The
rooms are clean and apparently well ventilated, and very
considerable in size, and also in the number of beds they con-
tain. The latter are placed about two feet apart, and are t.
be supplied with clean sheets once a month, we believe. The
establishment is under the superintendence of the same perr
son who established and conducted the somewhat similar
lodging-house in King-street, which, besides being of great
use to the class for whose benefit it was established, 310(11
some profit, a fact which justifies the opinion entertained by
the promoters of this institution that it will be a self-paying,
if not a positively profitable speculation—an opinion that we
sincerely trust will be eventually borne out. There is one
other aspect in which this institution is somewhat remar

and a fireplace at which to cook food, should effect so great
an improvement as it unquestionably will do in the condititm
of any class of industrious labouring men.
DEPLORABLE SUlClDE.—Yesterday Mr. W. Payne
held an inquest, at Bridewell Hospital, on view of the body
of Captain James John Green, aged 26, late captain of the

night of Friday last, off the above vessel, at the end <el
Arundel-stairs, Strand. At the end of a very lengthened im

as to bring on a morbid depression of spirits, and thus tbe

CHILD MURDER, near UXBRIDGE.
Yesterday Sarah Cooper, a single woman, about thirty
years of age, living at !!arefield, a village about four
miles west of Uxbridge, who has been the mother of
three illegitimate children, was finally examined before
Messrs. H. H. Cox and T. Dagnall, the sitting magis-
trates, at Uxbridge, on a char .ge of having wilfully mur-
dered her infant male child, her own offspring.
The case excited great-interest, and the large row.a in
which the magistrates hold their sittings, in the King's
Arms-yard, W 143 crowded to excess by the inhabitants.
The prisoner was first examined on Thursday last, on
which day she was remanded until yesterday, when the
following depositions were taken:—
Policeman Godfrey, T divisioa, deposed that in conse-
quence or information be received, he went on Wednes-
diy last, the 2d inst., to a house at Harefield, at which
the prisoner lodged, the privy of which he searched;
and under the woodwork of the soil he found the body
of a male infant, quite naked. After it had been washed,
it at first appeared quite white, then there appeared a
dark mark round the throat and also on one of the arms,
and the body in about ten minutes turned a dark green
colour. He then took the prisoner into custody, and
told her he did so for the concealment of childbirth. The
prisoner asked witness if she should plead guilty, and
witness told her he could not persuade her either way,
and that she had better be cautious. The prisoner then
said she should not plead guilty of murder, but that it
was distress that had brought her to it, and that it would
be the death of her poor mother. Witness also found
under the privy some old rags, marked with congealed
blood.
John Castle, a labourer, of Harefield, who is supposed
to be the father of the deceased child, deposed that
about a month after Michaelmas last the prisoner told
him that she thought she was pregnant, and said, "
pretty thing that would be." She then asked him if he
could get her any saffron to make away with the child,
but he told her he should not do any such a thing.
Sarah Smith, the wife of Christopher Smith, of Hare-
field, deposed that the prisoner had lodged in her house
for about eight months. Having been told the prisoner
was pregnant, witness mentioned the report to her, to
which she said the people who talked about her only
wished she was, but she was not. Witness had men-
tioned it to her several times, but the prisoner always
denied it.
Mr. Hayes Kyd, surgeon, of Harefield, deposed to
having made a post mortem examination of the body of
the male infant child in question, and found it rather
above the ordinary size. The chest was well filled by
its organs, the lungs well developed, and entirely inflated
so as partially to eonceal the pericardium. On applybag
the hydrostatic test, he found the lungs perfectly
buoyant. From those appearances, witness was of
oainion that the child was born alive, but could not state
any cause of death. The body was so much decomposed
that if there had been marks of violence witness could
not have discovered them. Found the umbilical cord
passed round the neck, and embedded in a fold of the
neck. It was also crossed over the breast, and termi-
nated by a rupture. It was not cut but broken. Had
examined the prisoner, and was of opinion that she had
not been delivered of a child within the last three weeks.
The prisoner, who said nothing in answer to the
charge, was then fully committed to Newgate for trial
for the murder, and was soon afterwards conveyed to
town.
On Thursday last, Mr. Wakley, M.P., the coroner,
'Toned an inquest in the same case, which stands ad-
journed until Saturday next. iv Oa .(1

PRINCE OSCAR OF SWEDEN.
PORTSMOUTH, JUNE B.—His Royal Highness, accom-
panied by Baron.Rehausen, Swedish Chargé d'Affaires ;
Count Rosen, M. Hjerta, Secretary to the Swedish Em-
bassy; Commodore Von Krusenstjerna, of the Eugenie;
Led Captain Hafner, .Aide-de-Camp, returned from
London last evening by the five o'clock fast train of the
S‘aith-Western Railway, and were received at the Gos-
port terminus at hallpast eight by Captain Pasco, of
Ihe Victory, Flag Captain to Sir Charles Ogle M.
Vandenbergh, Swedish Vice-Consul; Flag-Lieutenant
Cochrane, and Mr. R. W. Stevens, Superintendent of the
Railway, and were conducted to the Clarence-yard,
where the Admiral's barge was in waiting to put the
Prince and suite on board the lJndine steam-vessel,
Master-Commander Allen, which took the august party
out to Spithead, to embark on board the frigate.
This morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Capt. Pasco,
in the 'lncline, brought his Royal Highness into har-
bour, together with the above suite and some of the
cfficers from both vessels, in order that they might view
the various objects of interest in the arsenal. Ilis Royal
Highness was received on landing at the Ring's-stairs
by Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in-
Chief ; Mr. Brown, Master Attendant ; Mr. Fincham,
Master Shipwright ; Captain James, officer of Royal
Engineers in charge of works ; and M. Vandenbergh,
Vice-Consul; and was conducted over the dock-yard by
Captain Pasco, the details connected with the different
objects inspected being minutely explained by the scien-
tific officers above-mentioned. His Royal Highness went
on board the ships building and in dock, and was parti-
cularly struck with the royal yacht Fairy, the beauty
and splendour of the embellishments of which elicited
his Royal Highness's warmest admiration. The Prince
highly eulogised the taste displayed in the embellish-
ment of the yacht, which will be out of dock and ready
for service this week.

From the Fairy the distinguished party proceeded to
the Admiralty-house. to lnnebeon wi;11 Sir Charles Orb
stairs, and embarked in the Admirai s barge, which con-
veyed them to the Excellent to witness gunnery practice.
From the Excellent the royal party visited the Victory,
over which they were conducted by her gallant and dis-
tinguished Captain. This fine and venerable old ship
seemed to be a far greater object of interest than any
other afloat. After inspecting the Victory and other
objects of interest, the Prince and suite were entertained
at a sumptuous banquet at the Admiralty-house, to
which a gallant and distinguished party were invited.
This was followed by a ball upon a splendid scale, to
which the officers of the Swedish ships were generally
invited, and which was also graced by the elite of the
naval, military, and civil houses of this port, garrison,
and neighbourhood, forming a brilliant assemblage of
about 150 guests.

DEPARTURE OF HER ROT AL HIGHNESS THE

honour of the Royal Mat ines, um'er the command of Captain
Parke, and a field battery of the Royal Artillery, under the
command of Captain the Hon. G. T. Devereux, marched to
the dockyard this morning at nine o'clock ..at., to he present
cluing the embarkation of her Royal Highness the Duchess
of lent for the continent. Her Royal Highness, accompanied
byhis Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen and Colonel

Captain Tylden, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General of
Artillery. Her Royal Highness, on alighting, was escorted
on board the Garland steam-vessel by Sir Gordon Bremer,
the guard of honour presenting arms, and the band of the
Royal Marines playing the National Anthem. A royal sa-
lute from the field battery announced the time at which her
Royal Highness embarked. Captain Smithett, of the Gar-
land, received her Royal Highness on board, and immediately
after took his station to direct the vessel, and in a few mi-
nutes the Garland was speeding down the river with great
velocity. This vessel is beautifully fisted up as a packet
steamer, and is the fastest now running. It may be men-
tioned, as a proof of her speed, that on Sunday last she em-
barked 40 passengers and two carriages at Ostend, and landed
them at Dover, and immediately alter proceeded to Wool-
wich, where she arrived within ten hours from the time she
left Ostend, having performed the whole distance in that
short period. The royal standard was hoisted on board the
c:d
Garland, and her Royal Highness appeared highly pleas

peared to have been in the water two or three days. Fre-
quently, when he has taken a little wine, a stupor appears to
have come over him. It seemed the deceased had a sum of 21.
