We understand that a new novel from the pen of
the writer of " Temptation; or, a Wife's Perils," is
about to make its appearance. The secret of the author •
ship has at length transpired, and it seems that we are
indebted to Mrs. Gascoyne, wife of Colonel Gascoyne,
for that highly interesting production. The title of the
forthcoming novel is "Evelyn Harcourt."
FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon a sailing
boat, containing four young men, was upset in the
river Thames at Battersea Reach, and John Somes, aged
nineteen, son of Mr. Somes, of the King's-road, Chelsea,
was drowned. The other three, being able to swim,
kept themselves afloat till assistance reached them from
the shore.
It has been computed that Mrs. Butler's demand of
1001. a night would, in the part of Juliet, amount to four
'billings a line for the repeating of every line ; Sir
Walter Scott, it is said, had half-a-crown for writing
01141.

struggle ensued, during which the prisoner made a grasP
at his stock, and in a few moments afterwards he found
that his pin had been taken. A policeman was sent for,
and while the prisoner was being taken to the statiorr

upon searching in the morning the pin was found close
to the spot in the channel.
He was fully committed to take his trial at the OA

BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND
STOUR VALLEY (NO. II.) BRANCHES.

Their Lordships met at eleven o'clock.
Mr. R. M. Stephenson, civil engineer, was called this
morning for the purpose of showing the amount of traffic
which might be expected upon this line, if constructed.
He stated that in the district through which the line
would pass there were 400 works, consisting of iron
furnaces, coal pits. &c. Of this number, 50 would be
accommodated by the existing Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway, leaving 350 to be accommo-
dated by the present proposed. line. Of this number,
returns had been made from 230, showing that the ac-
tual payments made by them for the carriage of material
was 80,7921. That return did not include the amount
paid by the works of Mr. Foster, at Stourbridge, which
that gentleman stated in his evidence to be about 1,5001.
There were then one hundred and twenty works re-
maining, from which no returns had been made, but,
taking them at the same averages which had been made,
the income derivable by the company from them would
be 42,0001., or making a total altogether of about
137,0001. from works located upon the line for carriage
of materials alone. And, taking into consideration the
fact that one fourth of that traffic would be distant
traffic, averaging sixty miles, that would increase the
revenue from that source from 137,000/. to 182,0001.
The average distance which goods would be conveyed
upon the whole line would be about five miles, the
charge for which, deducted from the above sum, and
also making due allowance for the traffic, which would
still be accommodated by means of the canal, the net in-
come likely to be derived from the carriage
of raw materials would be about 30,0001. The
passenger traffic would, he believed, pay the ex-
penses of working the line. The capital of the com-
pany would be 500,000/., and the revenue would yield
about six per cent. profit on the outlay. The line would
be worked in connexion with the London and North-
Western Company. The income from passenger traffic
he estimated would be from 1,2001. to 1,5001. per mile
per annum. _ _

Mr. TALBOT cross-examined the witness at some
length, with a view of showing that the data upon
which he had founded his calculations, both with respect
to the goods and passenger traffic, was not founded upon
facts.

Mr. Brunel (civil engineer) was then called, and ex-
amined by Mr. Burke, with a view of showing that the
line projected, for the accommodation of the district, by
the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway
Company, was better adapted for the development of the
traffic than the line at present proposed by the North-
Western Company.
Mr. Brunel and Mr. Stephenson were examined, and
the Committee adjourned until Monday.

GREAT WESTERN (BERYLS AND RANTS

EXTENSION).

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock.
Mr. MILFORD appeared as counsel for Mr. Cuming•
ton, and stated that it was his intention to call Mr. G.
Edwards, for the purpose of proving that a better line
than that now proposed could have been adopted by the
Great Western Company. He distinctly stated that he
did not oppose the line in connexion with any other
company, but it was a sincere and bona fide attempt on
the part of his client to induce the Great Western Com-
pany to postpone a portion of the proposed line to a
future session of Parliament.

Mr. Edwards then banded in some plans and sec-
tions, showing that a better line could be constructed in
a different direction, without doing any injury to the
property of Mr. Cumington.
In his cross-examination by Mr. ALEXANDER, the
witness admitted that the line, if taken in that direction,
would add a mile and a half to the distance. He did
not know where Mr. Cumington's land was.
The CHAIRMAN stopped the further cross-examina-
tion, and decided that they could not enter further into
the case.

BRISTOL AND EXETER (TAUNTON AND
CASTLE CART BRANCH).

The Committee then proceeded to hear Mr. Webster,
on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Thring, whose property would
be affected by the proposed line.
In cousequence of the House sitting at twelve, the
Committee rose at the conclusion of Mr. Webster's
address, and the Committee stood adjourned till twelve
to-morrow.

, e are enaL _ to state, on the best authority,
that Lord John Russell, Mr. Patteson, Sir George
Larpent, Bart., and Baron Lionel Rothschild will seve-
rally sand for the representation of the city of London
at the ensuing election. As Mr. Masterman and Mr. Ald.
Johnson, late Lord Mayor, are to come forward in the
Conservative interest, we may expect a keen contest for
the first city in the word. Doubts are expressed whether
Baron Rothschild could take his seat, in the event of his
being returned. There can be no question that he could
vote in the election of a Speaker, as that ceremony takes
place before the oath is administered. Whether, as in
the case of Mr. Pease, the Quaker Member, the usual
oath would be dispensed with on Baron Rothschild's
being sworn, it is impossible to say. But there can be
no doubt that, should he be returned for the City, the
question of the Jewish disabilities will be brought for-
ward under circumstances which can hardly fail to pave
the way tor their removal. The result of the coming
contest for the City will be looked forward to with great
Worst. —Alves-kw.

lowing resolution passed :—" That the present state
of the educational question in this country is such as
to call for the most strenuous exertions of every
member of the Established Church, especially with
a view of co-operating with and taking advantage
of the offer of assistance made by the Government,
thus securing for the people religious instruction
according to the principles of the Established
Church, along with such branches of secular educa-
tion as may be required by the Committee of Coun-
cil, and imparted by an improved race of secular
teachers."

The Committee having been appointed, thanks were
