GROUP XII E.

NORFOLK (THETFORD TO LOWESTOFT,
&0., WITH A BRANCH TO HALES-
WORTH).

The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, in
No 7 Committee-room; Mr. Buller in the chair.
DECISION.

The CHAIRMAN declared that the preamble cf the Bill had
been proved; and the clauses, with various amendments,
having been agreed to, he intimated that he would report the
favourable decision of the Committee to the House this
evening.

GROUP XVII.
London, England, 1847-05-11

GREAT NORTHERN (BRANCH TO ZING'S

LYNN.)
On the assembling of the Committee, Mr. Cardwell in the
chair, the case on behalf of this line was resumed.
Mr. Cubitt, C.E., was examined at some length in favour
of the engineering features of the line, which he represented
to be very favourable.
Evidence was given on the part of the corporation of Wis-
beach against the mode in which the Great Northern Rail-
way proposed to contract the swing bridge in that town.
The Court adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

GROUP XXXI.
SOUTH YORKSHIRE.

The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock;
Mr. Shaw in the chair.

The Committee adjourned yesterday in order to give the
promoters of the South Yorkshire and the Barnsley lines
time to come to terms, and agree upon a line to serve both
companies, but it was stated this morning that they had
been unable to come to an understanding.
The room was cleared for a considerable time in order to
give the Committee an opportunity of considering the pro-
positions which bad been made respectively on both sides.
Lord Effingham gave evidence as to the probable utility
of the line to the coal-fields in the neighbourhood of Rother-
ham, and to the inconvenience of the present station of the
Midland line in that town.

On cross-examination, his Lordship allowed that there was
already a direct communication between Sheffield and Gains-
borough, by means of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln-
shire junction line, but he was not aware that the Midland
Counties proposed to form a loop line from Masborough,
which would serve the district.

Lord Wharncliffe, and several other witnesses, testified to
the advagtage to be obtained for the mineral districts around
Rotherham, as well as for the timber forests of Wharncliffe
and Penistone, and spoke also as to the respective accommo-
dation that would be given by the different projects.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.
London, England, 1847-05-11

GROUP VI.

E.ICETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER.
This Committee met this morning at the usual hour; Mr.
Deeded, Chairman. _

The Marquis of Westminster was called and examined in
favour of the line.

Some other formal evidence was put in, also the table of
s sm tsand dissents.

This closed the case on behalf of the promoters of the
me.

Mr. AUSTIN then proceeded to open the case on behalf of
the Great Western Railway. The Learned Counsel pro-
ceeded at considerable length and with great minuteness to
enter into the early history of the Great Western and South-
Western Companies, and to found upon it an argument
in favour of the Great Western Railway on the ground of
equity—the Bills having been granted to the Great Western
Railway with a view of supplying the western districts of
England with railway communication, and the object of
Parliament in granting the London and Southampton Rail-
way, or the present South-Western Railway, was to give to
that line the south-western districts, and that alone.
The Learned Counsel had not concluded his address when
the Committee, at his request, adjournel till twelve o'clock
-morrow.
London, England, 1847-05-11

GROUP XXVII.

This Committee met this morning ; Mr. Cardwell, chairman,
GREAT NORTHERN (EXTENSION TO
WISBEACH).

The Committee was occupied all day in hearing the cross
and re-examinations of Mr. Fulton, C-E.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

GROUP XXXI.

This Committee on this:group met this morning at twelve
o'clock ; Mr. Shaw in the chair.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE.

Mr. Newman's cross-examination, on the fifty-fifth clause,
which gives the power of taking tolls on the line, was re-
newed. He stated that the fares on the proposed line would
be from a halfpenny to a penny per ton, while on the Don

cost the company 15,000!. a year, used principally by Earl
Fitzwilliam.
On re-examination, Mr. Newman stated that though the
Barnsley branch now proposed would be useful, yet the South
Yorkshire line would, in his opinion, be by far more so;
but he did not possess a sufficient knowledge of the coal
ditrict to speak accurately respecting it. There was now a
great traffic in coal westward to Manchester, which would
be provided for greatly by the Barnsley line, but the South
Yorkshire line would run north-eastward, and south-west-
ward, and would open a larger field of coal, and would con-
sequently carry more, but he could not deny, but that the
Barnsley line would givo a more direct communication
westward from the Silkstone bed, which is very valuable.
The evidence of this witness closed the case, and the Com-
mittee adjourned.

GROUP XXXIV.
OLDHAM ALLIANCE.
This Committee met this morning at the usual hour.
Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer, to the line was cross-
examined by Mr. Sergeant %Irmo/Glum.
At the:conclusion of the examination of Mr. Hawkshaw,
the engineer to the line,
The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

LuNDON. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 4. 1r!,47.

Taking all the confusion of political principles into
consideration, the Government may congratulate
themselves upon the extraordinary success ‘shich has
.hitherto attended the appearance of their candidates.
The rejection of such colleagues as Mr MACAULAY
and Sir JOHN CAM HosuousE must unquestionably
',prove a serious annoyance to Lord JOHN RUSSELL;
nor can the failure of Mr. HAwES and of Mr. RCA
,uccic. be a matter of indifference. On the whole,
hOwever, the Popular Party has gained considerably
during the progress of the English and Scottish
borough elections. One after another have eminent
and already distinguished men been returned with
triumphant majorities by the Liberal electors of
different constituencies. Even in their most the
'fished predictions the Protectionists have, on the
contrary, been miserably deceived. The hustings of
Caiterbtry were to be the platform of the Nemesis of
Toryism ; and yet the Hon. G. P. S. SMITHS has
not only been unscathed by the brand of the
avenging goddess, but he has been triumphantt
in company with a nobleman of the
vindicate
the predilections. Liverpool was to
the dignity of the outraged agriculturists: and yet
Mr. CARDWELL has surmounted all the obstacles of
opposition, and obtained the ,uffruges of its citizens
in conjunction with a pertinacious Liberal. Ripon
was to crush the Parliamentary exislence of a
renegade Minister :• and yet Sir JAMES GRAHAM has
obtained the majority of the votes of its int,ahitatits.
Cambridge was to witness the ignominious discomfi-
ture of a statesman with a similar reputation: yet
Mr. GOULBURN has vanqui•hed even the formidable
popularity of the young and accomplished Lord
FEILDING. Insinuations were even indu ged in v‘ith
reference to the conatiuency of Tam worth, and this
notwithstanding the almost libellous jeers of those
who whispered that the borough was comfortably
ensconced in the pocket of the ex-Premier and yet
Sir ROBERT PEBL was not merely returned as its
representative, but be was returned with enthusiasm.
Stich are the successes of the followersothe Free-
trade Prime Minister;
and in their goid
f Liberalortune we
recognised the better fortune still the cause
with which they are virtually associated.
The gentlemen who nominally distinguishthem -
selves as the supporters of a policy which they
11"" long been ashamed to advocate—namely Protec-
tion—have, on the other hand, encountered the most
alarming difficulties, and in several instance; those
difficulties have proved altogether insur-"ountable.
In Liverpool, for example, Lord JOHN Alarmeas has
been abruptly repulsed. At Knaresborou,gh the re-
doubtable Mr.. BVSFEILD FERRAND—the Captain
BOBADIL of the House of Cotntnons with a pre-
science of the fate reserved for him by the consti-
tuents in the event of his presthning to claim their
mamas again, retreated with that discretion
which Sir JOHN FaLsrarr happily terms " the
better part of valour." Mr. SPOONER, still

that Lord John Russell polled only 418 more than Lar-

towards the Conservatives. •

INDEPENDENCE OF THE LEE

WARD ISLANDS.
The foll)wing is the copy of a convention between the
Governments or France arid England in relation to the
independence of the 'Leeward Islands :
" Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty the King of
the French, being desirous of removing a cause of dis-
cussion between their respective Governments, rflative
to the Wands in the Pacific Ocean which are herein-
after designated, have thought proper reciprocally to
engage

1: Formally to acknowledge the Independence of the
islands of Huahine, Raiatea, and Borabora (to the lee-
ward of Otaheite), and of the small islands adjacent to
to and dependent upon those islands.
" 2. Never to take possession of the said islands, nor
of any one or more of them, either absolutely or und4,r
the title of Protectorate, or in any other form whatever.
"3. Never to acknowledge that a chief or a prince
reigning in Otaheite can at the same time reign in any
one or more of the other islands above-mentioned ; nor,
on the other hand, that a chief or prince reigning in
any one or more of those other islands can reign at the
same time in Otaheite ; the reciprocal independence of
the islands above-mentioned, and of the island of

The supply of Beasts here to-day being somewhat ex-
tensive as to number even, the time of year considered,
the weather very unfavourable to slaughtering, and the
attendance of buyers small, the Beef trade was in a very
depressed state, at a decline on Monday's quotations of
quite 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected.
There were in the market 420 Oxen and Cows, 680
Sheep, and 87 Calves, from abroad. With Sheep we
were scantily supplied; nevertheless, the inquiry for that
description of stock was heavy, at barely stationary
prices—the best old Downs with difficulty producing
5s 2d per slbs. Primo small Calves moved off steadily,
at full prices. Otherwise, the Veal trade was dull, and
the rates had a downward tendency. Pigs were a slow
sale, but not cheaper. Milch Cows were quoted at from
15/ to 181 each, including their small calf.

The Sun, about the middle of last month, being the

Mr. EWART gave notice of his intention, on
LiTedneaday next, to ask the Secretary of State for

the Home Department a question with respect to the
case of Mary Ann Turton, who had been wrongfully
convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment.

DECIMAL COINAGE.

Dr, BOWRING, seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman
the Master of the Mint in his place, was desirous of put
ting a question to him relative to the decimal currency.
He wished to know whether any measure had been
taken to introduce that currency, and whether it
would be soon in circulation ?

Mr..SHEIL said, that in the course of a few
days a coin of the value of 2s. would be issued from
the Mint. He was also bound further to state that
he had already submitted three specimens of coin to
his Hon. Friend.—(Laughter.)
LOSS OF THE STEPHEN WHITNEY.

Mr. HUME wished to know whether any inquiry
had been mad by the Government into the accuracy
of the report that the loss of the above vessel had
been caused in consequence of the mismanagement
of the lights upon the Western Coast of Ireland ?
Mr. WARD stated, in answer to the Hon. Mem-
ber, that the Comptroller of the Coast Guard had
made a communication with the Admiralty upon the
subject, but there was nothing contained in that com-
munication to induce the Government to believe that
the wreck had arisen in consequence of any misma-
nagement of the lights.
