MAYBURY V. ATCHESON.
This was an action tried at the last assizes for the county
of Stafford, before Mr. Justice Mettle, when a verdict was
entered for the pl.,intiff for the sum of 6001.
Mr. WNATELY moved fur a rule to show cause why the
verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had on the
ground of the misdirection of the Learned Judge. It was an
action on a contract, by which the plaintiff agreed to sell
and the defendant to purchase 2,000 tons of merchantable
railway bars, the section of the bars to be of any length the
buyer might require, and to be delivered before
the Ist of March, 1846. 8001. to be paid to
the plaintiff on or before the 20th October, 1845.
The plaintiff was an iron manufacturer in the county of
Stafford, and the defendant a merchant, in the City of
London. It appeared that the defendant gave a section in
the specification rather different from that which the plain-
tiff agreed to furnish by the contract, and the Learned
Counsel contended that the Learned Judge in putting the
case to the jury, misdirected on the point as this addition to
the section did not nullify the obligation imposed on the
plaintiff to supply the bars referred to in the contract.
The CouaT would take time to consider.

were not Egyptian beans, nor of a merchantable quality.

COMFORT FOR TENDER FEET, AND A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CORNS AND BUNIONS.
PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND,
which gives RELIEF on the FIRST APPLICATION.
PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND (CORN PLAISTER) is ge-
nerally admitted to be the best emollient application for Corns and
Bunions, and is worthy of a trial on the part of those who are
afflicted with such unpleasant companions.
Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred
Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence, as well as from
many Officers of both Army and Navy, and nearly one thousand
private letters from the gentry in town and country, speaking in
high terms of this valuable remedy.
Prepared by John Fox, in boxes at Is. 11/5d., or three small boxes
in one for 2s. 9d.; and to be had, with full directions for use, of C.
King, 34, Napier street, Hoiton New-town, London; and all whole-
sale and retail medicine vendors, In town and country. The genuine
has the mime of "John Fox" on the stamp. A 2s. 9d. box cures
the most obdurate oorns. Ask for " Paul's Every Man's Friend."

GOLD' SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and
all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such
perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a
paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
Imitation, or German Silver front the genuine ; but put them into
the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it Is with the
most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as
the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable
of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TARLET
o: GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imhttion for
the last thirty years.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro-
posed.—Why do all the tint cutlers in Europe use and recommend
Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply
because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth
edge.

NIGHT LIGHTS.
The breakage and uncertain burning of Rushlights render
them useless. The dirt, smoke, and smell from Oil, is very disagree-
able. The inconvenience in not ',Ong able to move the common
Mortar, after beiag lighted, and the liability of the paper taking Ore,
make them extremely dangerous articles, and should not be used.
All these defects are remedied in

They are clean, elegant, economical, and safe, give three times
the light of all Mortars with paper round, they can be carried with-
out extinguishing the light, and have neither smell or smoke. Persons

The Committee then went into this case. The length of
the line was only three miles. The estimated cost was
25,0001.

The preamble to the Bill was proved.
The Committee then adjourned.

GROUP V.

The Committee met at twelve; Lord H. Vane in the chair.
WXNDSOR, STAINES, AND SOUTE-WES-
TERN (STAINES TO ASCOT, &c.)

The promoters of the Bill produced clauses this morning
restricting them from making their railway, unless they ob-
tain the consent of the Ordnance to pass the drilling ground
at Hounslow.

Mr. Brunel could not be found.
The Committee soon after adjourned till twelve to-morrow
(this da3 ).

GROUP VI.
SALISBURY AND YEOVIL.

EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER.

The Committee met this morning at twelve; Mr. Deedes,
chairman.

The first witness called by the promoters of these lines
was Mr. Cuff, the late mayor of Chard. His evidence went
to show the great facilities which would be afforded to the
inhabitants ut Chard by the continuation of these railways.
Mr. Divett, M.P. for Exeter, was the next witness called
—He gave evidence in favour of the desirableness of a com-
peting and independent line between Exeter and London.
With respect to the comparative merits of the gauges, be
gave it as his opinion that the broad gauge line was a luxury
to the inhabitants of Exeter, and he believed that the re-
moval of that gauge would prove a positive injury to that
part of Vie country. He was a director of the Bristol and
Exeter Railway, but, at the same time, he could not help
thinking that the construction of a competing line on the
narrow gauge would prove of great service to the western
districts of the country. The feeling of the people of Exeter
was also decidedly in favour of a narrow gauge competing
line.

Sir J. Duckworth, M.P. for Exeter, gave evidence corro-
borative of that given by the last witness with respect to
the feelings of the people of Exeter in favour of the proposed
lines, and the advantages to be derived to the inhabitants of
Exeter and the west of England by their construction.
Several other witnesses were examined, and the Com-
mittee adjourned till twelve to-morrow (this day).

GROUP IX.
WEST CORNWALL AND ERANCHES.
This Committee met, for the first time, to-day. Mr. Tatton
Egerton, chairman.
Mr. SMITH opened the case for the promoters of a branch
to St. 'lye's.

The length of the line was three miles, the cost of con-
struction, with quays, 70,0001.
Evidence was gone into to prove the preamble.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

STOUR. VALLEY (No. XL)
The Committee met in Room 13; Sir J. Graham,

competition between that line and the lines promoted 11),'„uld

v. R. B. Horne,v Vicar .of Halesowen, stated that
lite
population of Halesowen amounted to about 200° lass,
the greater portion of which were engaged in mining, g„1.0.
and iron works ; and it was his opinion that the line one
moted by the Stour Valley Company would be the °nil
which would afford adequate accommodation to the inh•.'„
tants of that town, and to the whole of the district betvw—
Dudley and Worcester.

Chair.

GREAT WESTERN (BRANCHES TO EGHANI,

STAINES, dce )

Mr. Brunnel, engineer to the company, in his examination
by Mr. AUSTIN, stated the scheme, with some slight altera-
tions, was the same with that of last session, except that it
branched through Brentford to the river, and beyond Staines
to Egliam. It communicated with Hounslow by a more
convenient approach than the South-Western project, and
offered large accommodation to traders by water at Brent-
ford. The gradients were generally easy. The total length,
inclusive of the branches, was 17 miles, and the estimated
cost 500,0001.
Witnesses were then called for the opponents of the line.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

Sir Walter James, Mr. M. J. O'Connell, with the Ear,d
Lincoln in the chair—met this morning at twelve o'clock,
lye
Mr. BURKE called Mr. Hawkeshaw, who stated thBS
had had great experience in the construction of railwals to
ver
different parts of the country, and that he bad walked h.
the line of the Cheltenham and Oxford Railway in the Haig"
bourhood of Cheltenham. He had examined the whole
strata in that district, and was well acquainted with the flotwot
the water in the course of the railway, and was salisandtroc•
no inconvenience whatever would be felt during theca" old
Lion of the works. He also believed that no difficulty' wit is
occur in the workin of a gradient of one in sixty, oor
done every day. There is a steeper gradient on th._°,, the
chester and Leeds Railway, which is supposed to o.„l"_,„toir
greatest traffic of any line in the kingdom ; and at the xlirsi
square station of the London and Birmingham Italhior
the line rises on a gradient of one in sixty-six. lie had
self gone up the gradient on the Birmingham and Gloucest.ct
line, which was one t
in sixty, with a train of sixty tons, at Ir
rate of thirty .five miles an hour, and with a train of WI"
dred tons, at the velocity of twenty-five miles an hour; Sn,
that he conceived there would be no difficulty in the Clio*
tenham and Oxford line.

Lord R. GROSVENOR presented similar petitions.
DIRECT TAXATION.
Mr. EWART postponed the motion of which he had
given notice until this day fortnight respecting a system
of direct taxation.
SCOTCH JUDGES.
Mr. WATSON wished to ask the Lord-Advocate
whether he was aware that the Scotch Judges were in
the habit of undertaking the arbitration of private suits,
and receiving fees for the same ; and if so, whether he
approved of such a course ?
The LORD-ADVOCATE said that he was not aware
of anything of the kind having taken place ; and if such
4.course had been adopted he need not say that it was
hls Opinion that such a course was, to say the least of it,
very indiscreet.
LORD DALHOUSIE'S RAILWAYS DISSOLU-
TION ACT.
Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman at the head of the railway department, whe-
ther it was the intention of the Government to bring in
any. measure this session to amend Lord Dalhousie's
Act with reference to joint-stock companies?
Mr: STRUTT said that he could not answer the
question, but as far as his department was concerned
ltithere was no such intention.

STOP PASSENGERS.
Mr. HUDSON wished to put a question to the Go-
vernment, with regard to the authority of the coast-
guard to stop passengers and prevent them from landing.
The Hon. Secretary to the Admiralty had answered his
question privately, but he thought that it would be
better to have the answer given in public. The question

PORT OF LONDON SHIPOWNERS' LOAN
AND ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Offices, 20, ST. HELEN'S-P—LACE,i:ODON.
The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by
the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having
bee:i subiCnbed fir, the Directors will proceed upon the Ist of May
next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal.
For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured,
the constitution of this Company is based on the principle of limit-
ing the amount entertained in and upo t Individual vessels, or their
cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain-
log clear in hand aceording to a graduated scale, constructed with the
greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of
outstanding risks, to the entire exclusion of gambling prod% and
ruinous losses, from both sides of the account.

Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance,
for the space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first
Policy, wilLexceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same
date the limit has been flied at 1,000/. ; and for the space of seven
years at 1,6001., a metho,l of proceeding obviously calculated to
ensure a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous
results incidental to an opposite system.

A list of the Board of birectors, of the officers of the Company,
and of the Agents appointed for the otttports, will be given in the
Prospectuses, which will be published after the complete registration
of the Company has been legally effected.
