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
thereon, 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
their intention to present a petition for the re-introduc-
tion 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 104 per cent, upon such subscrip-
tions is lodged in the manner required by the standing
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 between the sec and reading of any such Bill
and the meeting of the Committee thereon is shortened
to three clear days, the parties to give the regular notices
at the Private Bill-office.

—..--
In case such gm shall have been reported in the ses-
sion of 1847, the Committee on the Bill are to examine
hether 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
reception 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 further
proceeding in respect thereof.
2. That the deposits made in respect of all railway,
Bills, the proceedings on which shall have been sus-
pended, shall be returned to the depositors ; but that
before proceeding in a future session, deposits to the
same amount shall be again duly paid in, according to
the standing orders of the House of Commons.
3. That a clause shall be inserted in every railway
Bill, in the present and every future session of Parlia-
ment, prohibiting the payment of any interest or divi-
dend in respect of calls (except the interest by way of
discount on subscriptions pre-paid, agreeably to 8 Viet.,
c. 16, s. 24), out of the capital authorised to be raised in
such Bill, either by means of calls, or of any power of
borrowing contained therein.
4. That in all cases of application to Parliament by
existing railway companies, either for powers to con-
struct branches or extensions, or to contribute towards
the expense of constructing other lines of railways, a
subscription contract for three-fourths of such additional
capital as may be required
.for these purposes shall be
given in, beyond the capital authorised for the existing
lines, and deposits shall be duly paid thereon.
5. That a clause shall be inserted in every railway
Bill in the present and in every future session of Parlia-
ment, prohibiting any railway company from paying out
of the capital which they have been authorised to raise
for the purposes of any existing Act, the deposits re-
quired by the standing orders to be made for the pur-
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-
cising such powers until they shall have proved to the
satisfaction of the Railway Commissioners that they
have paid up and expended for the purposes authorised
by their Acts, a sum equal to one-half of the capital
authorised to be raised thereby.
7. That in future sessions of Parliament no powers of
purchase, sale, lease, or amalgamation, shall be contained
in any Act for the construction of a railway.
8. That in future sessions of Parliament no powers of
purchase, sale, lease, or amalgamation shall be given to
any railway company or companies, unless previous to
their application to Parliament for such purpose they
shall have proved to the satisfaction of the Railway
Commissioners that they have respectivelypaid up and
expended for the purposes authorised by their Act a sum
equal to one-half of the capital authorised to be raised
thereby.
9. That no railway company shall in the present or
any future session of Parliament be authorised, except
for the execution of its original line, to guarantee interest
on any shares which it may issue for creating additional
capital, or to guarantee any rent or dividend to any other
railway company, until such first-mentioned company
shall have completed and opened for traffic its original
line.

10. That in Bills in the present, or any future session
of Parliament, for the amalgamation of railway com-
panies. the amount of capital created by such amalgama-
tion shall in no case exceed the sum of the capitals of
the companies so amalgamated.
11. That in Bills in the present, or any future session
of Parliament, empowering any railway company to
purchase any other railway, no addition shall be autho-
rised to be made to the capital of the purchasing com-
pany, beyond the amount of the capital of the railway
purchased ; and in case such railway shall be purchased
at a premium, no addition on account of such premium
shall be made to the capital of the purchasing company.

MONEY MARRRY.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
10144. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.55; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.57 i, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 4351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
101/.d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
13.101; and the exchange at Hamburgh OR London at short
being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in
Hamburgh than in London.
MODEL LODGING-HOBSE.—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 in
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 of
washing (including a bath, towels, soap, &c.), a fire to cook
his food at, and a room to sit in during the evening or any
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 to
be supplied with clean sheets once a month, we believe. The
establishment is under the superintendence of the same per-
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, yields
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 w'e
sincerely trust will be eventually borne out. There is erne
other aspect in which this institution is somewhat remark-
able, and which is involved in the fact that the mere posses-
sion of a separate bed, with means of cleanliness and decency,
and a fireplace at which to cook food, should effect so great
an improvement as it unquestionably will do in the condition
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
Era steamer, of Richmond, who committed suicide on the
night of Friday last, off the above vessel, at the end of
Arundel-stairs, Strand. At the end of a very lengthened in-
quiry, in which a number of witnesses were examined, it was
clearly established that the deceased had contemplated the
act of self-destruction, inasmuch as two letters were
ifhotuennd otioi:
board with his clothes, addressed to his friends, in his
handwriting, taking leave of them, and stating his
to commit suicide. He also spoke of a person by whom he
had been illtreated, and which circumstance is said by hi,
(deceased's) brother to have weighed so heavily on his mind
as to bring on a morbid depression of spirits, and thus the
inducement to so rash an act. The body was discovered at
three o'clock on Monday morning, lying on the shore near
lilackfriars-bridge, and so determined was the deceased to
accomplish the violent deed that he had tied a large stone to
his neck, by means of a rope, and bad on his shirt and stock-
ings at the time he plunged into the water. Verdict--
"Temporary . InsanitN "
The decline in Insanity."
The in the markets of the French
departments continues uninterruptedly. From 2f. to sf. per
. hectolitre is about an average of the further tall announced
by the reports received from several of the districts.

CHILD MURDER, near UXBRIDGE.:
Yesterday Sarah Cooper, a single woman, about thirty
years of age, living at Harefield, a village about four
miles west of Uxbridge, who has been the mother of
three illegitimate children, was finally examined before
Messrs. R. H. Cox and T. Dagnall, the sitting magis-
trates, at Uxbridge, on a charge of having Wilfully mur-
dered her infant male child, her own offspring.
The case excited great interest, and the large room in
which the magistrates hold their sittings, in the King's
Arms-yard, was crowded to excess by the inhabitants,
The prisoner was first examined on Thursday last, en
which day she was remanded until yesterday, when the
following depositions were taken:—
Policeman Godfrey, T division, deposed/
that in conse-
quence of information he received, he went on. Wednes-
day 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 tlire 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
col Our. 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, " a
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 Sinith, 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 conceal the pericardium. On applying
the hydrostatic test, he found the lungs perfectly
buoyant. From those appearances, witness was of
opinion 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 tothe
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,
opened an inquest in the same case, which stands ad-
journed until Saturday next.

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, dfi•the Eugenie;
and Captain Hafner, Aide-de- Camprlreturned from
Lond6n last evening by the five o'clock•faSt train of the
South-Western Railway, and were received at the Gos-
port terminus at half past eight by Captain Pasco, of
the 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 Undine 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 Undine, brought his Royal Highness into har-
bour, together with the above suite and some of the
officers from both vessels, in order that they might view
the various objects of interest in the arsenal. His Royal
Highness was received on landing at the King'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 hulloing and in dock, and was parti-
cularly struck with the royal yacht Fairy, the beauty
and splendour of the embellishments of which elictted
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 luncheon with Sir Charles Ogle,
whence they proceeded, at two o'clock, to tho King's-
stairs, and embarked in the Admiral's barge, which con-
veyed them to the Excellent to witness gunnery practice.
From the Excellent the royal party visited the lirictory,
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 enter lamed
at a sumptuous banquet at the Admiralty-hoplse! 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 ROYAL HIGHNESS THE
DUCHESS or KENT.—WOOLWICH, JUNK B.—A guard of
honour of the Royal Marines, under the command of Captain
Parke, and a field battery of the Royal Artillery, under the
command of Captain the Hon. G. T. Devereux, searched to
the dockyard this morning at nine o'clock A.M., to be present
during the embarkation of her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent for the continent. Her Royal Highness, accompanied
I by his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen and Colonel
Sir George Couper, C.B. and K.H., arrived at half-past nine
o'clock in one of the royal carriages and four horses, and was
received by Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and
Superintendent of her Majesty's Dockyard, Lieu-
' tet rant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C.B. and K.C.H.,
Commandant of the Garrison; Colonel Parke, C. 8., Com-
m, andant of the Royal Marines; Commander West, of the
H ecate steam-vessel; Commander Ryder, of the Vixen
steam-vessel; and Master-Commander Driver, of the Dee
steam-troop vessel; Major Cuppage, Brigade Major; and
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
11..ostal Marines playing the National Anthem. A royal sa-
haw from the field battery announced the time at which her
Ito s-al Highness embarked. Captain Smithett, of the Gar-
land, received her Royal Highness on board, and immediately
afl.,er took his station to direct the vessel, and in a few mi-
ne rtes the Garland was speeding down the river with great
vt locity. This vessel is beautifully fitted up as a packet
sb earner, and is the fastest now running. It may be men-
tit ined, as a proof of her speed, that on Sunday last she em-
us sited 40 passengers and two carriages at Ostend, and landed
th em at Dover. and immediately after proceeded to Wool-
sit ich, where she arrived within ten hours from the time she
le ft Ostend, having performed the whole distance in that
si .tort period. The royal standard was hoisted on board the
Garland, and her Royal Highness appeared highly pleased
with. the marks of honour paid to her during her embarka-
tion at Woolwich.
