STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, MAY 4.—The announcement
of an intended purchase of English Government Secu-
rities by the Emperor of Russia, caused a more cheerful
feeling in our market on Saturday; but the increasing
difficulty of obtaining discounts, and the alarming ac-
counts of the scarcity of food in Germany, and the con-
sequent advance of prices in the London market yester-
day, have entirely dissipated all appearance of improve-
ment. The market to-day has been one of the worst
ever known; the demand for goods being on the most
limited scale, whilst many manufacturers have evinced a
disposition to accept lower prices for quantities. Gene-
rally speaking, however, the business has been confined
to the purchase of small parcels to supply immediate
wants, at about the rates of last Tuesday. The yarn
market has also been very flat. A little more business
has been done in goods, but at prices below those of last
week.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, MAY 4.—A1l parties ap-
pear to be paralysed by the great advance on corn, at
Mark-lane, y esterday. IVc have had several buyers,
but they use the greatest caution. Much anxiety is ex-
pressed, and all seem fearful that we are not at the worst
period.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, MAY 3.--We have had an ex-
tremely dull market, with very little business trans-
acted. The wool market has been quite as flat as the
flannel market, and prices much the same as those of
last week.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, MAY 1,--TheiC were more
merchants in the hall to-day than this day week, but
very few goods were purchased, and the trade continues
very flat. The pressure on the money-market has
checked the demand for yarn, and spinners are content
to obtain orders at old rates. No one is buying wool,
except to supply present consumption. For sorts that
are wanted there is scarcely any reduction to be noted ;
but holders cannot force. sales without submitting to
lower prices.

were then proceeded with.

the line would inflict on the residence and ornamental
grounds of his uncle, near to Wakefield.
Dr. Wright was examined as to the damage the line
would do to the property of West Parade, Wakefield. He
represented it to be very considerable, and the proposition
had given great dissatisfaction.
Mr. Walker, agent of the Wakefield cattle-market, stated
that the scheme would do great injury to, and interfere ma-
terially with, the business transacted there.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock.

(EXTENSION TO WAKEFIELD, ds.c.)
__

The Committee met this morning at the usual hour; Mr.
Hope in the chair.
Evidence in support of the opposition of the landowners,
particularly that of the proprietors of the Wakefield cattle
market, was continued at the sitting of the Committee.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINs then addressed the Committee at
some length in opposition to the project, and in favour of the
line which he represents—the Great Northern Railway
(Extension to Leeds, and the Manchester and Leeds)—
(the two lines are about to amalgamate), whose projects, be
contended, would intersect the most populous parts of the
district, and would, consequently, offer the greatest accom-
modation.

The Learned COUNSEL then called Mr. Hawkshaw, whom
he examined at great length, in opposition to the Bill.—Mr.
Hawkshaw considered that the projects of the Manchester
and Leeds, and the Great Northern, were vastly superior to
the line of the Leeds and Dewsbury.
Both sides have now completed their cases, and another
Bill will be proceeded on the meeting of the Committee to-
morrow.
Adjourned until to-morrow at twelve.

CASE OF LORD COCHRANE:

Mr. FERRAND wished to ask the Bight Hon.
Gentleman the Home Secretary a question. He wished
to know why the Government had not paid back to Mr.
Batt the 1,0001. which he was fined in connexion with
Lord Cochrane, that Diable Lord having been exone-
rated.

Sir G. GREY said that some years ago an application
had been made to the Home Secretary regarding this
money. The application was declined at the time, and
no step had been taken in the matter since that time.
He did not think the Government had any power to in-
terfere.

Sir WILLIAM VERNER rose to call the attention
of the House to the importation and sale of fire-arms in
Ireland ; and on this subject he might state to the
.Houseone or two circumstances which came under his
immediate attention in the county with which he was
connected. IA one case ho knew that in a small
village there were fire-arms sold to the extent
of 1004, and ammunition to the same amount, and the
person who sold it said that if he had double the quantity
he could dispose of it. In another case a poor tenant,
after paying his rent, had returned to him by his land-
lord 21. for the purpose of purchasing provisions for his
family, and the observation he made was that
the money would purchase him a very good gun.
Ile therefore wished to bring before the house some
sufficient proof that he had been fully justified in the
course which he had pursued—that he had done no
more than, under the circumstances, was absolutely
necessary. Before, however, bringing before the house
such documents and snch evidence as he thought would
convince their minds of the state of Ireland, he begged
leave to remind the House that a Bill had been passed
within the last four years for a similar purpose. On
the 27th of April, 1843, a Noble Lord asked for
leave to bring in a Bill for registering all the
arms in Ireland, and also for regulating the manu-
facture of arms in that country, and the introduc-
tion of gunpowder and other amunition. On the
second reading his Lordship stated that the Bill would
repeal three Acts—that of George 111., George IV., and
IViliiam IV. By several clauses which were introduced
it was decided that no arms should be impor ed into
Ireland without the license of the Lord Lieutenant,
under a penalty of 501. By another clause it was
enacted that gunpowder should not be manufactured in
Ireland ; and there was a third clause, by which it
was directed not only that arms should be regis-
tered but also that they should be branded. He en-
tertained no doubt whatever that there Nye
large
numbers of unregistered arms in the posy:mon of the

London, England, 1847-05-06

GROUP MAX.

This Committee assembled at the usual time to-day; Mr.
Cripps in t!'e chair; all the members present.

CALEDONIAN AND GLASGOW, AND
GR.EENOCIt AMALGAMATION.

The case on behalf of this Bill was resumed.

Mr. Cubitt, C.E., examined—Deposed that he was con-
sulting engineer of the London and Brighton line, and had
experience of its working. Formerly the London and Croy-
don was an independent company between London
and Croydon. Then came the London and Brighton
Company, which constructed the portions from Croydon to
Reigate. Since then the South-Eastern came in, and the
London and Croydon portion was worked by the three com-
panies. The London station was jointly used by them._ From
what he had learned of the Glasgow and Paisley joint sta-
tion, he apprehended no difficulty in the working of it. If the
' present amalgamation took place it would lead to a great
economy in the working of trains and management.
Mr. Harding, formerly secretary and manager of the
Greenock Railway, and now superintendent of the Bucking-
ham lines, deposed as to the financial condition of the
company when he was connected with it. They
could, on several occasions, barely pay a dividend of one per
cent., and had to abridge their expenses very much in
officers, trains, and general management. He was firmly
persuaded that the proposed amalgamation would serve, nut
only the shareholders, but the public.
This closed the case for the promoters.
After an adjournment of about an hour
Mr. TALBOT addressed the Committee at some length in
review of the evidence adduced in support of the Bill. He
said the whole objections he had to urge were resolvable
into two heads. The one was, that it would be the means
of enabling the Caledonian Company to bring as triffic on to
the joint line free of expense on the terms of the agreement
entered into between the Ayrshire and Greenock Companies.
The other point was, that the public would suffer by putting
the key of the line to Greenock into the hands of the Caledonian
company, who had the strongest interest in throwing diffi-
culties in the'avay of passengers going to the steam-packets,
in order to send them through to England by their main line.
On these grounds, which the Learned Gentleman amplified
at some length, he submitted that the preamble of the Bill
ought to be rejected.

GROUP XXXIII.

This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; the Hon. E.
Yorke in the chair.

LE22DS, DEWSBURY, AND MANCHESTER
(EXTENSION TO WARETIELD, &c.)

On the assembling of the Committee this case was pro-
ceeded with.
Mr. Benjamin Gott, of Leeds, was examined at some
length as to the advantages the scheme would confer in con-
necting the important towns of Leeds, Wakefield, and Dews-
bury, and also to its superiority over the rival schemes.
This closed the case of the promoters.
The opposition of the landowners and other proprietors
were then proceeded with.
Mr. J. M. Gaskell, M.P., deposed as to the damage which
the line would inflict on the residence and ornamental
grounds of his uncle, near to Wakefield.
Dr. Wright was examined as to the damage the line
would do to the property of West Parade, Wakefield. He
represented it to be very considerable, and the proposition
had given great dissatisfaction.
Mr. Walker, agent of the Wakefield cattle-market, stated
that the scheme would do great injury to, and interfere ma-
terially with, the business transacted there.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock.

GROUP'►L'VIYI.

This Committee met to-day'at'tiiiiye o'clock ; Lord Conrte-
nay in the chair; all the members present.

CALEDONIAN, GLASGOW, GA.RNIEXEX, and
COATSRIDGE (BRANCH TO GLASGOW

STATION).
On the assembling of the parties the clauses of this Bill
were proceeded with.
A considerable time was spent in tke discussion of the
clauses to be inserted in the Bill to regulate the works, so as
to protect the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway and the
Forth and Clyde Navigation.
The arrangement with respect to the clauses agreed to
was, that in regard to the Forth and Clyde Canal the pro-
moters of the Bill would construct them works under it in a
way to satisfy a neutral engineer, Mr. Walker, or, failing
him, Mr. Robert Stephenson. It was provided, in addition,
that the cut for deviating the canal during the progress of
the works should be maintained for a year after the water
was restored to its usual course, and that the Company should
be responsible at the time for any injury done by the works
either to the canal or to the property of the public.
Mr. Tennant, the Inchbally Road Trustees, and the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company, also obtained pro-
tective clauses.
The Committee then adjourned.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW

The present number opens with strong article in
but deeply-injured hero. Few have et a
favour of Lord Dundonald, the nvedrdhisatidngauished
more
brilliant career, or evinced greater bravery during
the
period of his service; and few have suffered more
severely from what, we believe, is now universally ad-
mitted to be an unwarranted condemnation, and the
most vindictive persecution. Lord Dundonald, it is
true, has been reinstated in the navy. The Royal
pardon has been extended, but that very pardon implies
the forgiveness of guilt. and that is still painful to the
high-minded veteran. He pines that the stain should
be removed from his name, that he should receive
not a pardon but an acquittal, or at least that the
restoration of all his honours should show that the Go-
vernment feel, in accordance with the nation at large,
that he was innocent of the crime laid to his charge.
" Luther, his Life and Principles," is a slight sketch of
the Great Reformer's history, taken from Michelet's w orks,
and what professes to be an abstract of his principles.
The former part will be perused with much attention,
all the events eccurring during the time of so great a
moral revolution to its chief, must necessarily possess a
thrilling interest. The latter part we are not so well
satisfied with. It is written in the spirit of modern
tractarianism. and speaks of the " imperfections of his
system," and " the erroneousness of his principles,"
and " of the radical defect of the Lutheran Reforma-
tion, being the contempt in which it held antiquity."
" The Churches of London;" the fourth under that
title, contains a comparison between St, George's, Han-
over-square, and St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, very much
to tho prejudice of the former, which is railed at,
" as pursuing a cold, hearless, defective system,
rigidly formal, in some respects, stiffly puritanical,
in others, highly ultra-Protestant in almost all." We
suspect it is to the latter part of the sentence, that the
indignation of the gentleman who styles himself " Rid-
ley" is to be ascribed. The rigid formality would not,
we suspect, be so very objectionable to one who utters
such to ping jeremiads respecting matters that to

The barman being questioned by the Learned Judge, said
ho believed the name was Joshua, but he was not sure.
Mr. Greenwood had only taken the house about three weeks

Mr. O'Brien submitted that the prisoner could not be con.

The Learned JUDGE concurred in this opinion, and the
prisoner was acquitted.
Several other cases of felony were disposed of, but the ar-
