GROUP L.

The Committee met this morning at twelve. Present.,
Mr. Banker, in the chair, Mr. Carew, Sir B. Hall, Mr. Hind-
ley, and Mr. Henley.
GLASGOW, PAISLEY, NXLVIARNOCIC, AND
Awn, AND AYRSHIRE AND BRIDGE OP
tV EIR (NO. III).

The CHAN:MAN said Mr. Hope might proceed, if he
thought proper to do so after the strong °pillion expressed
by the Committee that they would not grant the Bill.

Mr. Hort.: assured the Committre that their recommenda-
tion had been considered, and that most carefully, but lie
trusted to be able to show reasons wherefore the company
should proceed. The statement put in before the Com-
mittee showed that the balance of mortgaged debt
only amounted to 318,0751., on a share capital of
3,854,566/. The Bills sanctioned by Parliament had
a capital of 1,966,0001., and the company had alreitly
sixty-six miles of railway made and opened. It appeared,
therefore, that the whohs amount of debt on a capital of
3,854,566/. subscribed for and available, did not amount to
one-tenth of the whole capital. Besides this, it ought to be
recollected that Bills applied for this year, and included in
the data upon which the Commissioners had founded their
report, had been lost on the standing orders to the amount of
near 2,000,000!., and also that the Act of Parliament gave
them the power of borrowing to the amount of 400,0001.
These considerations bore inspection, and the company would
not suffer from comparison with the financial practice of any
other before I'arliament. So much for the financial status of
the company. But now for the scheme projected by the Bill.
Last year a line was sanctioned by Parliament from John-
stone to the Bridge of Weir. This branch was short; the
Ayr Company had powers to lease the line, but it was
thought more desirable to amalgamate it altogether
with the Avr Company. That was one object of
the Bill. Again, Parliament had so far commit-
ted themselves to the present project, for the traffic
to the Bridge of Weir and Crossley formed a large im-
portant element in the case for the Bill last year. But these
places were still unsupplied, and the Bill proposed to meet
that. A third object of the Bill was to continue the line
down to Port Glasgow, a distance of nine miles. The same
project was before the Committee last year, and was
thrown out only on the engineering difficulties, when the
line joined the Greenock Railway at an incline of 1 in 75.
It now avoided the Greenock station, by joining the line a
quarter of a mile before, and with half a mile of a dead level.
Port Glasgow was a harbour of very considerable import-
ance. It was included in a Bill promoted in 1837 by
the Greenock Company,; and powers were obtained to
make a railway to the port ; but, as Greenock
port was a competing harbour, these forms were neglected
and allowed to expire. In 1840 powers were again sought
by the Greenock Company, and obtained, to make the
branch. A clause was inserted, binding them to make
the branch in five years, and open it at the same time
with the Greenock branch ; but it was not made.
Now, the importance of Port Glasgow was such as not
to deserve this. The customs last year amounted to 135,800/.
It was important to bring up the Ayrshire coals to compete
with those from Lanark, and also to offer a means of ballast
to the outward-bound vessels. There was another branch
17% miles long, from Kiltnacolm to Largs by Innerkipp.
But, in deference to the committee they were prepared to
postpone that this year, deducting from the proposed capital
an amount of 380,0001., and they took their stand on the
other branches, which might be made for 220,0001.
Sir B. HALL said his own opinion was, admitting all the
statements of counsel, that the branch to Port Glasgow was
entirely to be made from minerals, that a case had not been
made out for the preamble of the Bill except for the amal-
gamation, and for the Bridge of Weir and Crossley Mill
branches, if these were unopposed.
The CIIAIRMAN intimated that that was the opinion of the
Committee.
Mr. Miller, engineer in chief, who was called on these two
branches, said, when the Bridge of Weir line -
wal
passed
e tdo lastte
year, it was thought proper that it should be leased _ _ _ e
Ayr Company, but it was believed better that it should 1)
vested in the company entirely. The two branches to the
Bridge of Weir and Crossley-Mtn were very short and very
necessary, and not opposed. The estimate was under
30,000!.
The preamble of the Bill for these objects was then de-
clared proved.
Mr. IlorE said they would. w.ifthdralwaustehweire;eopipnosseirtitoedn
to the preamble of the next Bill, a c
giving the Ayr Company running powers over the Linwood
Branch down to Port Glasgow.
After some conversation, in which the Committee evinced
an opinion that this should be conceded, it was agreed to
consider this privately to-morrow, and therefore the consi-
deration of the Glasgow, Paisley, and. p Greenock..i (Amendments
and Branches), and the Glasgow, ats and Greenock
(branches to Port Glasgow), was postponed till to-morrow.

P.
Sir T. Pniwrs said this Bill was to all intents unop-
posed.
d The object of the Bill was to sell the railway and to
complete the works and improve them, for which a Bill
already existed. The Clyde trustees opposed it, but the
Admiralty had given their consent, and a petitionagainstit
was put in by the Barrhead and Neilson Railway Company.
Mr. MILLER said the Paisley and Renfrew Railway had
been acquired by the Ayr Company, and was to be improved
by widening the rails from 4 feet 6 inches to 4 feet 86 inches
throughout. That was necessary, and several large works at
the part now proposed were also necessary. The estimate
was 38,000/.
The preamble was declared proved, and the clauses were
read and agreed to.
The Committee then adjourned till Thursday.

GROUP LI.
THE NORTH BRITISH.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

The room was then cleared, and on the re-admission of
,he public,

. -
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee were of
opinion that North British Railway Company bad not made
out a satisfactory one, and they decided, therefore, that the
preamble was not proved.
Mr. CoexsunN then proceeded to reply for the Caledonian
Company. He was glad to find that the decision just ar-
rived at would confine the observations he bad to make
within somewhat narrower limits ; and he trusted
that when the whole circumstances of the case were laid
before the Committee the opposition which was given by the
Dumfries and Carlisle Company would be equally unsuccess-
ful. That opposition divided itself naturally into two dis-
tinct branches—first, against the leasing
power granted to
the Caleilouiah Company, in the last eesslou of Parliament,

of that portion of the Dumfries scheme which was compre-
hended in the branch between Annan and Springfield; and,
secondly, the powers which they sought to obtallt
for making e line to Brampton, and other branches.
To the first of these objections he would direct
the attention of the Committee; and !here it would be
necessary to review (and he should do so as rapidly as pos-
sible) the events of the last few years, in as fon. as these
affected the interests of these rival schemes. It would be
remembered, that when the Caledonian schemes were first
projected, Mr. Locke and Mr. Erringten were appointed to
surrey the line of country from Carlisle to the north of See!.
land, with the view of laying out one great line which should
afford the best accommodation for the southern traffic, at the
same time that it did not overlook the local requirements.
These gentlemen, in their report, recommended that the
line should be taken round by Annan and LockerbY,
and thence carried northwards through the centre
of the country, then dividing—one fork being car
ried west to Glasgow,
and the other south to Edinburgh.
This scheme was submitted to the Royal Commissioners.
who recommended that a deviation should be made, leaving
Annan to the south, and the promoters deviated accordingly
The Board of Trade, by a subsequent report, confirmed the
opinions of the Royal Commissioners, and gave the preference
to the Central or Caledonian line over its two competito the
the North British, or East Coast line, on the one side, and the
Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle on the Other. In 1845 thee:
lines came before the Legislature, and the Dumfries, whic_i
announced that its object was to supply the local wants ye
the country, was despite the oposition of ere] by them, sec-
cessful ; but, on proceeding top the Lords, his clients ware se
far fortunate, that they succeeded in getting this clause
in-
serted in the Dumfries Company's Bill, as a matter of pro-
tection to their through traffic, a traffic which he beggeoui
the Committee to remember the Dumfries ComPanY,lladetn'll
pretended to ask. Well,:that companyof
with this clause; they brought it down to the House rd
Commons, and there, and in the House of Lords, not
of protest was entered against its insertion, and they 8.1 f:
accepted Weir
cepted it in its present condition at the hands of the Leg!'
lature. What was the consequence? This, that the Cute'
donian were by the Act of the Legislature vested htwith ef;
tain right, which the Dumfries Company now sear
set aside. Could anything be more monstrous? The had
donian Company sought to protect themselves; thorium..•
the sanction of the Royal Commission; they bad been Prete,
nounced the best line by the Board of Trade, efte,r..atirethi
and patient, and searching investigation; and,the
had received the confirmation of Parliament itself. In ,ed
confidence that no other main line would be. proln...
through this district, the promoters of the Caledeeian theft
pany had invested their capital, they had constructeu pact
line, and they looked with security to the implied contow
entered into with the Government. This Comfy set
came forward to ask one section of the Legislature Noel
aside an Act of Parliament, and what was the reas,onThef

surmised that certain obstructions would be Om" who

_t
ever heard of reasoning like this ? Why it was the interves
of the Caledonian Company to encourage the trafic eree
their line, and the very best security for their abstin;eo6
from all obstruction would be found in their own inter.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded at great length to swop
that the branches sought for by the Dumfries CelnParYsle-

culed the idea that an export and import trade could b

tablished between Kirkcudbright and Ireland. He e,ntT,oreards,
the Committee to affirm the decision of the Home side
and thus put an end to a conflict so unjust on the one
and so oessive to the Caledonian Company.
The Committee adjourned till Thursday at twelye o'clock.

TO M.
ELECTORS OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF THE
COUNTY OF SURREY.
IGiorrusraze,
N compliance with a Requisition addressed to me
bT.,,-, by upwards of 1,200 Electors, I readily declare myself a
slid
for the honour of representing East Surrey in Parliament ;
Zti it affords me the greatest satisfaction to find myself associated
h a gentleman whose principles—l have reason to believe—are so
~4oh 1n accordance with my own.
LY Political opfnions were made known to you in 1841, when I
4±ec'liared myself an advocate for a total repeal of the corn-laws. It
was then my conviction that commercial restrictions were impolitic;
and it has been some con.pensation for the defeat I then experienced,
see the principles of free trade. se soon and almost universally re-
. COgnised among civilised nations.
Ihe corn-laws having been repealed, and protection to the farmers
Withdrawn, justice requires that protection to others should no longer
be continued.

I am therefore ready to vote for a repeal of the malt-tax, and for
the abolition or reduction of many other duties on the comforts and
necessaries of life, which press heavily on the working classes.
I am an advocate of that gradual extension of the elective fran-
chise which the progress of knowledge is fast rendering necessary.
Of religious liberty in its full sense I am a staunch supporter. My-
telt a sincere member of the Established Church, I claim for others
the same freedom of judgment which I enjoy.
Raving always taken a deep interest in the subject of education,
trust the time will shortly arrive when its inestimable blessings
!11l be extended to the whole community without distinction, and
such terms that none may feel themselves conscientiously obliged
lecline its advantages.

local affairs; and if you should confer on me the honour of

To THE LONDON STONE.
Hall ! curious relic of the olden time,
Thy Stone shall form the subject of a ditty ;
For thou deserv'st a tributary rhyme
As much as any thing in London's City.
Ale c,ould'st thou speak, thou venerable Stone,
What tales thou could'at unfold of distant ages;
For thou was fam'd before Saint Paul's was known,
And London thou bast seen In all its stages.
Say, ancient Stone. was ever London's scene
Equal at all to what it now discloses?
And has the City's traffic ever been
Distinguisle.l by a House like that of MOSES' ?
And all the ages thou bast seen elapse
Have shown to MOSES' giant Mart uo equal ;
MOSES and SON stand highest—and, perhaps,
They ever will do, did we know the sequel.
What diff'rent styles and fashions halt thou known
During a thousand years, or even longer ;
But say, was ever Dress like MOSES' kshown—
Were ever Garments smarter made, or stronger ?
No, antique Stone ! there never was a day
When fashion shoved us what she now discloses;
Ind (could'st thou speak) in justice thou would'st say,
I never saw such Dress as that of MOSES'.
Lint new Work, entitled " FASHIONS FAVOURITE," with a
of Prices, and Directions for Self-Measurement, can be had ou
aPplication, or forwarded post-free.
