RAI LWAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE NIP NCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.

On Flidiay a meeting of the company was held inM,tri-
chester, Mr. Henry Houldsworth in the chair. He
opened the proceedings by some remarks on the effect
railway calls had on the monetary condition of the
country, and on Mr. Strutt's Railway Bill. The Man-
chester and Leeds Company, he stated, had no difficuPy
in raising money in the present crisis. The sum of
130,0001. was due from the East Lancashire Company,
and 100,0001. would be, received shortly in deposits frein
the Accountant-General. The company also intended
to raise loans which, in the aggregate, would amount to
more than 800.000 L; and with these loans, the calls they
should make on the different classes of stock, which
would be light, they would be able to meet the expendi-
ture they deemed it right and prudent to incur. In
making these demands upon the proprietors and the
money market, the company intended only proceeding
with the works already in progress and those conve-
niences necessary ler developing traffic. The lines
granted last session, amounting to 61 miles, could on!) be
proceeded with one-third their extent, comprising the
moreimportant part of the West Riding scheme; and they ,
had already such a large amount of funds from holders of '
that stock in hand that no further call would be necessary
this year. Mr. Houldsworth added, that he did not
agree in the opinion that railway expenditure was in-
terfering with the capital of the country, so as to prevent
the manufacture of goods for export, and therefore de-
ranging the business of the country. He thought the
amount of money being absorbed in constructing rail-
ways much less than was generally supposed. if it
were supposed that 400,000 labourers were employed on
lines at present (an outside calculation, perhaps), and
they received 1/ per week each, the amount would be
20,000.000/. a year ; but those labourers might fairly be
assumed to have been in a condition of life enabling
them, on an average, to earn los. per week, and thus the
extra expenditure was only 10s. per week, or 10,000,000/.
per year ; and this did not appear to him a large surplus
call on the capital of the country. Mr. Houldsworth
afterwards referred to Mr. Strutt's Bill, now before Par-
liament, and its principle of interference with the em-
ployment of railway capital, and denounced it as an
unjust and arbitrary interference, which, if allowed,
would take away the advantage which private capitalists
had over Government management, and which was the
only inducement to them to employ their money in such
enterprises. He concluded by moving a series of reso-
lutions authorising the company to raise loans under the
Liverpool and Bury Acts, to the amount of 404,0001. ;
under the Huddersfield Acts, to the amount of 177,0001.;
under the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Act, to the
amount of 219,0001. The resolutions were carried
unanimously.

has done. The story is prettily told. Under the
head of " Geologiml Speculations," a review is
given of the " Kosmos" of Humboldt. " The
System of the World," by Nichol, and the
" Sequel to the Natural History of Creation." The
latter is severely censured while the first is most de-
servedly applauded to the utmost. The portrait
gallery gives an engraving of the Rev. Hugh
M'Neile, which certainly by no means gives the idea
of a gentleman in his fifty-second year; on the con-
trary, you could scarcely conceive the object to have
attained his majority. It is accompanied by a flattering
memoir of the leader of the Liverpool Tories. Much as
we may differ from Mr. M'Neile in political sentiments,
and although these feelings may have led him to too
great lengths, we respect his private character, and
the energy with which he endeavours to give effect
to what we believe to be his conscientious conviction.
A second, and concluding notice of the Life and Cor-
respondence of the First Lord Sidmouth is, of course,
tinctured with the political feeling of the University.
The most elaborate article, however, is, in every respect
the most objectionable. " The Famine in the Land"
extends to no less than forty pages ; and what has been
well termed the " Anti-Russell mania" is apparent
in every line. It would be impossible to go through
its various parts. A history is given of the rise and
progress of the potato disease. A just tribute of
respect is paid to Sir Robert Peel for his conduct,
but it is rather, we suspect, to form an attack
on our present Government, than from any regard
to the granter of free trade that this praise is owing.
The writer condemns Lord J. Russell for not follow-
ing the example of his predecessor in office, forget-
ting how totally different the circumstances were, and
the impossibility of repeating the experiment of the
former year. We are compelled to express our dis-
sent from almost every view taken by the writer. If
space permitted, it would be easy to expose their
fallacy.

110 WITT'S JOURNAL.

Another number of this hebdomadal and monthly
publication developes yet more the capabilities of
William and Mary Howitt to conduct a journal cal-
culated to aid in the diffusion of literature and the
incitement of popular progress. We are pleased to
observe less of promise and more of fulfilment—
less parade of the names of intended contributors, and
more of actually meritorious contributions. With
the exception, again, of an unfortunate flaw in the
copy of Charpentier's picture of " John Pounds, the
Founder of the Ragged Schools," the engravings are
singularly improved in neatness and finish. The
portrait of George Sand, otherwise Madame Dude-
vant née Aurore Dupin, and the companion portrait
of the celebrated Swedish nightingale, Jenny Lind,
are admirably executed. The latter is the very beau
ideal of a beautiful and intellectual northern coun-
tenance ; and the miniature biographies of both these
remarkable women are written with singular grace
and liberality. Upon George Sand the writer dilates
even to the extent of a flagrant panegyric. We say
advisedly a flagrant panegyric, for the works of that
fervid and passionate imagination are beyond all
question marred by qualities that render eulogium
upon the score of morality absolutely impossible.
Even the biographist in Howites Journal acknow-
ledges that he is " not prepared to defend every work
or every sentiment published by her." We should
think not, indeed ! Arid he confesses still further.
He says—" She herself has expressed a wish that
some of even her most brilliant writings were un-
written." That is significant! In another portion
of the memoir the panegyrist observes of George
Sand—" She never makes vice beautiful"—(we ques-
tion that)—" she never.rewards crime"—(w hat then ?
Lewis decidedly does not reward crime in his in-
famous work "The Monk," and yet, we opine, "The
Monk" is immoral: the hero of "Falkland" is de-
cidedly not rewarded, and yet "Falkland," we opine,
is immoral : Don Giovanni is carried, in the end, to
hell, and yet, we opine, that the story of "Don
Giovanni" is immoral !)—" she never strews roses
over corruption"—(adroitly put, that; but, word it
differently, and we are nearer the truth—she pulls
the roses asunder, and we catch glimpses of corrup•
tion underneath !) No; George Sand has been tra-
duced as wholly and entirely a demoralising novelist
- which she is not. But the biographer in Howlers
Journal goes to the opposite extreme, and praises as
immaculate an intellect, that is miserably tarnished.
With a multitude of excellent contributions, which
it is impossible just now even to enumerate, the
Journal makes an admirable melange for April.

THE T.RAVELLk;ieS ItJSCELLANY.

We commented last month upon the first appear-
ance of this little magazine of entertainment for
travellers ; and especially noticed the appropriate.
ness of its size, the neatness and compactness of its
arrangement, and its singular combination of cheap.
ness and utility. The second number is an improve-
ment in every way upon its predecessor; for,
while the paper and typography are much superior,
the information is at once more copious and more
condensed. To the millions who travel by railroad,
coach, and steam-boat, the various tables of time,
distances, fares, situations, and the peculiarities of
the most conspicuous places in England and its de-
pendencies, will be invaluable.

THE KNIGHT OF GU' Y NNE. No. XVL
By Charles Lever.
Mr. Paul Dempsey again assumes a prominent
position in the narrative, and is the means of intro-
ducing. Lady Eleanor and Helen Darcy, and conse-
quently the reader too, into some outrageous scenes
at Mother Pam's. The Panther herself comes out in
extraordinary style, in a yellow satin spotted with
red, and becomes most endearing in her attentions to
Mr. Dempsey. After a " shilaloo" among the board-
ers, and a general "skritnmage," described by Lever
in his most rollicking vein, the wife and daughter of
the ruined Knight take a hurried departure from
the " establishment." The closing chapter of the
number is little to our liking, presenting a most re-
pulsive picture cf infirm and doting villany in the
person of old Doctor Hickman. Lady Eleanor has
just entered the chamber of the sick man, when the
instalment for April terminates. The story is mar•
vellously uninteresting without Bagenal Daly or
Maurice Darcy.

for 1,250/. sterling, being the amount of a grant made
by the Assembly, in the present session, for the relief of
their fellow-subjects who are exposed to the horrors of
famine in Ireland and Scotland, it affords me great satis-
faction to inform your Lordship that the vote was passed
with a promptitude and unanimity which reflects credit
on the legislative bodies ; and I do not doubt that her
Majesty's Government will appreciate the humane and
loyal disposition which has actuated them in placing
this sum at the disposal of her Majesty's Government

Truth is the worthiest epitaph of humanity; and
the old heathen adage is pregnant with wisdom which
says, that facts narrated on any funereal occasion
are more eloquent, when clothed with accuracy,
than when adorned with the blandishments of a de-

chronological table has more value to the thoughtful
man than the most masterly panegyric of a biassed
orator, even though that panegyric be suffused with
the genius of a BossuEr or the energy of a CREBIL-

BANKRUPTCY.-(TIIIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE STEWART.

Mr. DUNCAN made an application this morning under
a fiat sued out against a Mr. Stewart, a barrister, and
the lessee of the Hippodrome and Norley estates, and
who it was sought to be made bankrupt as a builder.
The case was argued at great length on Tuesday,
when it was contended, in support of the fiat, that Mr.
Stewart being only lease-holder of the ground, and as he
built on it for the purpose of selling, letting, or mort-
gaging the houses, &c., he was liable to be made bank-
rupt. On the contrary, it was urged, that Mr. Stewart
had a right to build for improvement on the land, as he
held it for 99 years, without being deemed a builder, so
as to be made a bankrupt.
His HoNoun was inclined to adopt this view of the
case, but said he would take time to consider his judg-
ment.

Mr. DUNCAN now applied for permission should his
Honour's opinion be adverse to the fiat for further evi-
dence to be adduced, to show trading as a dealer and
chapman.
His HONOUR said be could not make an adjudication
except on the evidence as it stood. He could not take
evidence piecemeal, but if his opinion should be conclu-
sively against the present fiat another might be sued out.
IN RE
This was an application to his Honour to name a day
for the bankrupt to come up to pass his last examina-
tion, which had been adjourned sine die for want of
accounts. The accounts were now prepared.
His HONOUR said that he could not name a day un-
less the assignees said they considered there was a rea-
sonable probability that the bankrupt would be allowed
to pass on them. The bankrupt's paying the fees of
the Court did not remunerate the assignees for their
trouble ; and if a rule was not laid down to prevent it,
they could be greatly harrassed by these appointments.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Kent was charged before Mr. Henry with
stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Randall,
Broad-street, Bloomsbury.
Policeman Dunn saw the prisoner walk up to the door
of Mr. Randall's shop and take away a pair of boots from
a heap near the door. lie followed him and took him
in charge.
The prisoner was committed.
William O'Brien and James Collins, two boys, were
charged with a precisely similar offence at the same
shop.
The constable stated that in about half an hour after
he had detected the last prisoner he was again standing
opposite Mr. Randall's shop, and he saw the prisoner
O'Brien snatch up a pair of boots and hand them to
Collins, who ran away. He seized O'Brien, and leaving
him in the care of Mr. Randall, pursued Collins, and
caught him with the Loots under his arm.
Mr. Randall said that he only opened his shop on
Thursday morning, and several pairs of boots and shoes
bad been stolen in the course of the day.
The prisoners were committed.

of a geideman in his fifty-second year ; on the con •
trarv, you could scarcely conceive the object to have
attained hit .rnajority. It is accompanied by aflattering
memoir of the leader of the Liverpool Tories. Much as
we may differ f:eom Mr. M‘Neile in political sentiments,
and although these feelings may have led him to too
great lengths, we' respect his private character, and
the energy with v,rhich he endeavours to give effect
to what we believe to be his conscientious conviction.
A second, and conclad.'ng notice of the Life and Cor-
respondence of the Rirst Lord Sidmouth is, of course,
tinctured with the politic.al feeling of the University.
"I' he most elaborate artiele„however, is, in every respect
the most objectionable. " The Famine in the Land"
extends to no less than forty poges ; and what has been
well termed the " Anti-Russekl mania " is apparent
in every line. It would be impossible to go through
its various parts. A history is given of the rise and
progress of the potato disease. A just tribute of
respect is paid to Sir Robert Peel i'or his conduct,
Liu it is rather, we suspect, to form an attack
on our present Government, than from any regard
to the granter of fr,?e trade that this praise is owing.
The writer condemns Lord J. Russell for not follow-
ing the example of his predecessor in office, forget-
ting how totally different the circumstances were, and
the impossibility of -repeating the experiment of the
former year. We art compelled to express our dis-
sent from almost every view taken by the writer. If
space permitted, it would be easy to expose their
fallacy.

GLOBE, Nor. 21, 1846.

Kelly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just
made its appearance for the ensuing Sear. The vast mass of infor-
mation which this hook contains, makes It not only desirable but
absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of
business ; and scarcely less necessary, Indeed, for every one else,
who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions,
and localities of the great metropolis. In its present extended form,
the book is an absolute curiosity ; the labour and expense which it
has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have bees
immense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly
knows which most to be streck with and admire—the excellent
arrangement and utility of such A compilation, or the magnitude of
the city which requires such a directory. The volume; moreover,
contaiv an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected
down to the latest strides of " brieks and mortar."

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Blake.Ktngscliffe, Northampton-

shire :

"Kingscliffe, January 21, 1847.
" Sir,—Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic Gout.
I procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit ; and
the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where
I continued twelve weeks, and left It without obtaining any benefit,
and all hope of relief had vanished. _
_ . _

" This hopeless state of things continued until a fiend advised me
to try Pills. I then lost no time in sending to Mr. Mortlock,
of Stamford, for a box, and by the time I had taken that quantity I
got rid of one crutch. I then sent for another box, which enabled
me to throw away the other, and, thank God, I have never since had
such an attack.

" I am much exposed to cold ; but, whenever I feel symptoms of
attack, I have recourse to the Pills with univenial success.
" I recommended the Pitla to a gentleman who resides in this
neighbow hood, and he has derived the most essential relief there-
from and is now never without them.

" You nay publish this for the beaefit of those similarly afflicted.
"I am, 'Sir, your obedient, humble servant,
SAMUEL BLAKE,
" Smith and Farrier."
The never-falling effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or
present times. They not only give relief in a few hour,. bat restore
to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are
equally speedy and certain In Lumnago, Sciatica, Pains in the Read
or Face, and indeed of every Rhematic or Gouty affection ; in fact,
sucn has been the rapidity, perfec: ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, lilt contains many
grateful e,idences of its benign influence.

FOR NEW RAILWAYS.

The Select Committee, consisting of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Mr. Hume,
Mr. Hudson, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Charles Bus-
' sell, Mr. Strutt, Mr. Chaplin, and Mr. Ellice, ap-
pointed to consider whether it is expedient that any
measures should be adopted for suspending further pro-
ceedi❑gs in all or any of the railroad Bills in the present
session ; and for enabling the parties, under certain
conditions, to proceed with the same in a future session
of Parliament; and also, whether it is advisable that
any further provisions should be made in the standing
orders 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 shall be empowered on the
second reading, or on the completion of any subsequent
stage of any such Bill, to suspend any further proceed-
ing in the present session, with the option, under the
following conditions, of proceeding with the same Bill in
the next session of Parliament, at the stage where the

SODA WATERS.

AAND R. TIiWAIFIS"AND COMPANY,
INVENTORS AND SOLE PREPARERS OF THE

ORIGINAL SINGLE AND DOUBLE SODA WATERS,
57, UPPER SACKVILLE-STREET, DUBLIN;
ST. ALBAN'S-PLACE, sT. JAMES'S, LONDON.
These waters were introduced to the notice of the public, as their
invention, by the testimony of the Professor of Chemistry (the late
Robert Percival, M.D.), in his lectures in Trinity College, Dublin,
and from that period have continued to obtain the recommendation
of the Gentlemen of the Medical Faculty, and the approbation of
the public.

The SINGLE and DOUBLE SODA WATERS derive their names
not from the quantity of flied air which they contain, but from the
proportions of Sal Soda, which, when prepared in the BEM:MUM
MANNER employed by

A. and It. TIIWAITES and Co., renders them highly useful to
the powers of digestion, improving the appetite, warming the
stomach, and stimulating the hepatic functions.

The above kinds of SODA WATER are exclusively prepared by
them, and are not manufactured by any other house in the KING-
DOM.

sions, JL it is not generally known that fish is the most economical

coolness, his WENHAM LAKE ICE, and patent Refrigerators, are
both economical and usethl ; being the best preservers of comestibles
at this season of the year, and affording a valuable auxiliary to the
culinary preparations for an entertainment, and also a delicious
beverage in the shape of sherry cobbler, sc.-159, Cheapside.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COM-
MITTEE ON THE SUSPENSION OF BILLS
FOR NEW RAILWAYS.

The Select Committee, consisting of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Mr. Hume,
Mr. Hudson, Sir George Clerk, Mr. Charles
. Rus-
sell, Mr. Strutt, Mr. Chaplin, and Mr. Ellice, ap-
pointed 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
session ; and for enabling the parties, under certain
conditions, to proceed with the same in a future session
of Parliament; and also, whether it is advisable
.that
any further provisions should be made in the standing
orders 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 shall be empowered on the
second reading, or on the completion of any subsequent
stage of any such Bill, to suspend any further proceed-
ing in the present session, with the option, under the
following conditions, of proceeding with the same Bill in
the next session of Parliament, at the stage where the
Bill shall be now suspended.
London, England, 1847-06-09

thought that the measure brought forward was a most
admirable one, and calculated to put a stop to the pre-
sent increasing system of railway legislation.
Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE said that there could be no
doubt that these resolutions were of a private nature,
and ought not to be brought on to interfere with the
public business which was upon the paper. There was
one Bill upon the list which the House had come down
to discuss, and which affected the interests of many thou-
sands of starving people in the Midland Counties, and
was that to give way to the private interests of a parcel
of railway jobbers?
Mr. R. YORKE said, that as it was admitted that
these resolutions were private business he should vote
against the adjournment of the question, as their present
discussion would greatly facilitate the disposal of all the
private business connected with railways.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would make a proposition which might, perhaps, meet
the convenience of all parties who were interested in the
business which was to succeed the present discussion.
Would the House agree to sit at twelve o'clock to-
morrow for the purpose of considering this question?
and he would now withdraw it.
The debate was then adjourned until twelve o'clock
to-morrow.
