PRINCE OSCAR OF SWEDEN.

PonTsmouni. JUNE B.—llis Royal Highness, accom-
panied by Baron Rehausen, Swedish Chargi d'Affaires ;
Count Rosen, M. 'Herta, Secretary to the Swedish Em
sassy ; Commodore Von Krusenstjerna, of the Eugenic;
and Captain Hafner, Aide-de-Camp, returned from
London last evening by the five o'clock fast train of the
South-Western Rail,kay, and were received at the Gos-
port terminus at half past eight by Captain Pasco, of
'he Victory, Flag Captain to Sir Charles Ogle ; M.
Vandenbergb, Swedi,h Vice-Consul; Flag-Lieutenant
Cochrane, and Mr. It. 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-Commsnder 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 or 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 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 tkistinstished party proceeded to
the Admiralty-hotisejo liliineon with Sir Charles Ogle
whence they proceeded, at two o'clock, to the 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 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
widch 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 i5O guests.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COM-
MITTEE rriE SUSPENSION OF BILLS
FOIL NEW RAILWAYS.

The Sel et Commitree, consisting of the Chancellor
of the Exehequer, Sir James Graham. Mr. flume.
Mr Hudson, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Charles Rus-
sell, Mr. Strtrt, Mr. Chaplin. and Mr. Ellice, ap-
!minted to consider whether it is expedient that any
measures should be adopted for suspending further pro-
ceedings in all or any of the railroad Bills in the present
,lescion ; and for enabling the parties, under certain
conditions, to proceed with the same in a future cession
of Parliament; and also, whether it is advisable that
any further provisions should be made in the standing
or;lers of the House relative to Bills for the construction
of railroads ; and who were empowered to report their
opinion thereupon, from time to time, to the House—
have considered the matters referred to them, and agreed
to the following resolutions:—

1. That the promoters of all railway Bills in the pre-
sent session of Parliament shell be empowered on the
second reading. or on the completion of any subsequent
stage of any such Bill, to suspend any further proceed-
in.' in the present session, with the option, under the
f4lowing conditions, of proceeding with the same Bill in
the next session of Parliament, at the stage where the
Bill shall be now suspend d.

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 sucPessive 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 8.11 brought into the House in pursuance of
such petition in the session of 1847 was pending in
either House ?f 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
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 second 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 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
reception and adoption by the House of a report of such
Committee that the Bill referred to them is in every
reseect 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 denosits made in respect of all railway
Bills, the proceedings on which shall have been sus•
Dended. shall be returned to the depasitors ; 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
(lend in respect of calls (except the interest by way of
discount on subscriptions pre-pail, agreeably to 8 Viet.,
c. 16, s. 24), out of the capital authorised to be raised in
snob 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
any company from exer-
cising of purchase, sale,lease, or amalgamation, a clause
powers until they shall have proved to the
,niebenaltl nobe powers of
satisfaction of the Railway Commissioners that they
have paid up and expended for the purposes authorised
etailelgbeeuienbserted prohibiting
by their Acts, 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.
