GROUP XXXIII.

This Committee re-assembled to-day in Room 27 ; Mr.
W. H. Hope in the chair. All the members of the Committee
were present.
LEEDS CENTRAL. RAILWAY STATION.

The case on behalf of this scheme was resumed.
Mr. Henry Marshall the extensive manufacturer of Leeds,
was generally examined as to the advantages the proposed
station would confer on the town and neighbourhood. Such
a station was much wanted to centralise the traffic in Leeds,
and its public advantages were such as fully to warrant the
proposed outlay.
Mr. Gott, manufacturer, of Leeds, was examined to the
same effect.
Mr. Martin, a surveyor, entered into a statement of the
station, explaining its peculiar advantages, and the lines
that were to be accommodated. It was to furnish accommo-
dation for the following lines :—Leeds and Thirsk ; Leeds
and Dewsbury; Great Northern, and Manchester and Leeds
Railway Companies. The estimated cost was 300,0001.

GROUP LI.
This Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock; Sir John
Y. Buller chairman.

GLASGOW, DUNIrRIES, AND CARLISLE,
AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, xxxaman,
zrocic, AND AYR RAILWAYS (NO. II.)

Mr. Smith Cunningham was called by the promoters, and
examined by Sir Thomas Phillips. Witness, a landed pro-
prietor, near Kilmarnock, and deputy-lieutenant of Ayr-
shire, gave general evidence in favour of the line. The
county of Ayr had a population of some 170,000 or 180,000
inhabitants, Renfrew had a population of 120,000, and Kil-
marnock might be considered the centre of the district. The
district was a highly industrial one, and facilities of com-
munication were greatly wanted. The inhabitants of the
district were decidedly in favour of the Dumfries company.
Mr. Hugh Craig and Mr. Neil also spoke to the trade of
Kilmarnock, and the growing character of the manufactures
in the district.
Mr. Alexander gave similar evidence.

AN ADVENTUROUS ACT.--On Wednesday a daring
act was performed on the river by an American seaman. His
vessel being on the point of leaving for New York, he for-
warded his sea chest on board. On going to the ship, how-
ever, when she had anchored in the river, off the Prince's
Parade, half way across the stream, he found that some mis-
take had occurred; and determined not to leave without his
property, he forthwith plunged overboard, and, notwith-
standing the powerful ebb of the tide, swam boldly ashore to
the parade, holding in one hand a bundle of clothes of by no
with
wet, inconsiderable size. On landing, though dripping
wet, he appeared to 'treat the feat with the au-11ot ii=ha•
lance.
