GROUP XLIV.

The Committee met this morning, at twelve o'clock, but
in the absence of reports from the Comissioners, especially
after the vote of last night in the House, they could not
proceed, and adjourned till Thursday at eleven o'clock.

GROUP XLY.
This Committee met for the first time this day, in Room
41 (one of those placed under the leads). Present, Sir Denis
Le Marchant (chairman), Major Beresford, Mr. Scott, the

The Committee then proceeded to take the
EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (BURNT.

The Bill was unopposed.

promoters. The proofs were put in, and the preamble was de-
clared proved.

(EazANcEtEs TO ST. ANDREWS AND

Mr. BELLASIS opened for the promoters.
There was hardly any opposition.
Mr. Anderson, banker, Newburgh, and Major Playfair,
provost of St. Andrews, proved the advantages which the
line would give to these towns.
Mr. Grainger, C.F.., was under examination when the Com-
mittee adjourned.

GROUP XLVI.
This Committee met this morning at one.
The following Bills are referred to this group :
North British (No. 1) Bill.
Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton (Leith Extension) Bill.
Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton ( Union Canal and Caledonian
Junction) Bill.
Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton (Leith and Granton Junc-
tion) Bill.
Edinburgh and Northern, and Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton
Amalgamation Bill.
Caledonian (Edinburgh Station and Branches to Grantor,
and to the Edinburgh and Glasgow) Bill.
The Committee was occupied a considerable portion of the
time in the usual formal arrangements attendant upon enter-
ing the appearances on the various petitioners for and against
the schemes.
- At the conclusion of these preliminaries,
The Committee decided upon proceeding with the
NORTH ItruTxsz.

Mr. HopE opened the case on behalf of the promoters. The
proposed line was about a mile in length, and would leave the
North British Railway at Piershill Barracks, and effect
a jui:ction with the south branch at about a mile distance.
Tiic .ppi)sition to the line was not of a very serious nature.
Mr. Jubb, C.E., and Mr. Miller, C.E., were then called to
give evidence in favour of the proposed line.
The Committee then adjourned.

Mr. Adie, C.E., was re-called and cross-examined at some
length on behalf of Mr. Dixon, iron master, of Glasgow.
Mr. Mills, C.E., was examined in corroboration of the
'evidence of Mr. Adie. He generally agreed with him that
the junction over the river was attended with no engineering
difficulties.

Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer of the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway, gave evidence to the same effect. Similar
junctions had been effected under worse circumstances at
Manchester.
This closed tlhe case for the Bill.
The case for the corporation of Glasgow was then pro-
ceeded with.

Mr. S. Oswald, one of the Members for the city, was ex-
amined to the effect that he considered the Green would be
injured by the crossing of the railway, and that the feeling
of the inhabitaurs was generally against it.
Mr. Patteson, of Glasgow, was examined to the same effect.
The Committ( se then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock.

A NEW DISCOTERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or Cecay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require tke extraction►
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

of the promoters. He objected
to the East on the
Lancashire Railway Company being heard in
opposition, and maintained that they had no locus standi
against the Bill.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGILAM, on the part of that company,
contended that they had a right to be heard, as their interests
would be materially affectedt if the proposed line was made.
After some further discussion it was decided that the East
Lancashire Railway Company had no locus stencil.
Mr. George Ormrod, solicitor, was then examined, to show
the great advantages which would be conferred by this line
in opening up facilities of communication with the coal
districts.

Mr. Pieco, a coal engineer, and other witnesses, confirmed
this evidence.

It was then agreed that further proceedings in this line
should be adjourned till Thursday next.

GLASGOW, AIRDRIE, AND NIONZLANDS
(CO'..7ILAIRS AND CENTRAL JUNCTION
BRANCHES).

(Continued fram our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Mr. Sheriff Bell was examined as to the crossing of the
green. He did not think the green would suffer by the
crossing, while the line in its progress would take away a
considerable amount of inferior property. The compensation
given for the alleged encroachment would enable the cor-
poration to make important improvements elsewhere. The
viaduct would be a highly ornamental object.
Mr. Sheriff Alison generally corroborated the evidence of
the previous witness. He did not think the crossing would
in the least degree injure the green, otherwise he would not
support it.
Dlr. Binnie, builder, gave similar evidence. The pro-
perty to be taken was in value 30,7001.
Mr. Adie, C. E., gave evidence as to the engineering fea-
tures. The central junction was about a mile and a half
long. The estimate was 105,0001., in addition to the 10,750/.
for the Caplaw-hill branch. The scheme passed through the
green in eight hours, twenty-four feet high on the average,
and around the Clyde by a atone bridge. He did not think
1 the scheme would interfere with the green, while it would
be a great public accommodation to the through traffic.
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow at twelve o'clock.

BURY BRANCH,"
WEYMOUTH AND SIZI.COSIBE G= HAR-
BOUR AND BiL GLDS TRUESETS.
Mr. RiuscomßE stated that the Bill was unopposed; that
it was promoted by the South-Western Company, and that
its object was to construct a line of nineteen miles and three-
quarters in length, from Andover, on the Basingstoke and
Salisbury line, to a point on the Bishopstoke and Salisbury
line near Kembndge Mill; and thence from Romsey on the
same line to Redbridge on the Dorchester line, and so
on, by means of this branch and a small portion of
the main line of the South-Western, to Southampton—
thus making a considerable portion of the line to be applied
for next session by the well-known Manchester and
Southampton Company. There is some little difference in
the route, but the course traversed is nearly the same, or
at least will answer the purpose for which that line was
partly designed. A considerable portion of the Andover
Canal would be used, an agreement to that effect having been
entered into with the proprietors. The capital would be
400,0001.

Mr. Kerr, C.E. (Mr. Locke's assistant), detailed the
minutiaae of the line.

Mr. WsEELiiisa id he appeared as counsel for the Man-
chester and Southampton Railway Company, which had been
thrown out by the Standing Orders' Committee, in support
of a petition of the promoters of that line, which, however,
be would not trouble the Committee with, as it was their in-
tention to withdraw it.

The CHAIRMAN, and the other members of the Committee,
seemed astonished at any appearance on behalf of a line
which had been rejected by the Standing Orders Committee;
and which, consequently, was not before them or Parliament.
Mr. WHIELER explained that certain clauses had been
arranged between the parties, which, as the Manchester and
Southampton had been rejected, would not be inserted in the
present Bill, it being understood that they should be in-
serted in any future Bill to be promoted by the South-
Western or by the Manchester and Southampton, in case
they should come before Parliament in a subsequent session.
He only wished to state those facts in order that they
might be placed upon the records of the Committee, and to
withdraw his opposition.
Mr. }Ruche% the solicitor to the South-Western Company,
explained that such an arrangement had been come to.
The CHAIRMAN said no doubt the object of the Learned
Counsel had been answered by the statement he had made;
but it seemed to him that the parties for whom he appeared
had no locus standi before them.
London, England, 1847-05-18

DECISION.

The CHAIRMAN then declared that the preamble of the
Bill had been proved ; and, the clauses having been agreed to,
he intim Ited that he would report the favourable decision of
the Committee to the House.

The tolls will be the same as were agreed to in the revised
Bill of the South-Western last year.

WEYMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS
HARBOUR AND BRIDGE TRUSTS.

The object of this Bill is to improve tl:e harbour of Wey-
mouth, and to make it a better port of communication with
the Channel Islands than at present, by reducing the tolls.
It is promoted by the Corporation of Weymouth. The rail-
way companies there have guaranteed to pay the present
proprietors of the harbour the interest they at present re-
ceive. The harbour will be invested in Commissioners. The
Bill was unopposed.
The CHAIRMAN declared that tbi preamble had been

mens of Itadstock and Newcastle coal, and from the result of
those experiments, he was led to believe that for household
purposes there was little or no difference between the two

this line, which was eighteen miles long, and was projected
to connect the North Staffordshire and South Staffordshire
Railways. The Bill was an unopposed one, with the ex-
ception of a petition from Walsall, but he apprehended the
Committee would be of opinion that the petitioners had no
locus standi, inasmuch as the line did not go within two miles
of them.

Mr. Rastrick, civil engineer, was then examined, and de-
posed to the gradients, tunnels, and other engineering works
which would be required, none of which possessed any peen-
liar difficulties.
Mr. Tuner, agent of Lord Bagot, was examined as to the
nature of the traffic, for the conveyance of which the line
would give great facilities.
In consequence of the Committee not having received the
