HAM, BARNSLEY, VZAHEFIIILD, HUD—
DERSFIELD, AND GOOLE PURCHASE).
Earl FITZWILLIAM gave general evidence in favour of this
scheme.

A number of other witnesses from the locality of the
lines bore testimony to the great benefit the adoption of
the scheme would confer on the trade and commerce of the
district through which the several lines would pass, and to the
importance which the population of those districts attached to
the various railways being placed under one management.
The whole of the day was occupied with this description of
evidence.

GROUP XLIII.

The Committee met at one o'clock, in Room 16; Mr.
Protheroe in the chair.
LIMERICIC and WATERFORD.'

Mr. WHATELEY, Q C., opened the merits of the Bill, which
he said was to extend the time for making the railway. The
works were already comiderably advanced, and part finished,
but the difficulties in the money market, and the unfortunate
state of the country, had delayed them. The Great
Southern and Western proposed to run over the line, and it
was wished to open this line simultaneously with their own.
Another object of the Bill was to make some unimportant
deviations, which, so far from making an increased capital
necessary. would actually effect a saving. He trusted to be
able to satisfy the Committee that both these were necessary.
They were only opposed by Mr. Baker, a resident on one of
the deviations, which was really a case for compensation, and
nothing more.
The Committee then adjourned.

RATIIKEALE.

Yesterday morning one troop of Artillery, with two
guns, two companies of the 59th, and a body of the Bth
Hussars, under the command of Colonel Cator, proceeded
to Rathkeale, in consequence of an apprehended rising in
that district. There were reports in town last night of a col-
lision having occurred between the people and the troops,
and that five men were shot. This morning, on inquiry,
we found that this was not true, and that all was quiet.
At Nantenant, however, the residence of Mr. Roy 80, an
attack was made—twelve stand of arms were taken, and
property, chiefly consisting of provisions such as bacon.
The accounts from Ennis are of a tranquil character.

CALEDONIAN AND DUDIEAILTONSIIIILE
317NCTION (DEVIATIONS BETWEEN
DI7NTOCHER, LITHE-WOR.I4S, AND BOW-
LING, &c.)

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

➢ir. Cubitt, C.E., also gave evidence to the same effect.
He thought the works under the canal could be con3tructed
without an accident, still there would be some danger.
➢lr. Sergeant MultritY then replied on behalf of the Forth
and Clyde Navgation.

This closed the case on behalf of the opposition.
Mr. Heim .eplied for the Bill, dwelling on the evidence
adduced in its behalf and for the opposition. The provi-
sions of the Bill were to effect a proper connexion with the
Garnkirk and Glasgow, and the Caledonian Railway, and the
real opponent was the Edinburgh and Glasgow Com-
pany, though ostensibly the Canal Company. The
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company wanted to
have the present line connected with their scheme alone, and
hence the opposition had been got up in order to defeat the
Bill. For that purpose this care about the danger to the
canal in the crossing under it was mooted, but he (Mr.
Hope) submitted that no case of real difficulty or danger had
been made out. Whatever danger, however, there might be,
the promoters of the Bill were willing to leave the direction
of the works to any neutral engineer that might be ap-
pointed, and in that shape he left the Bill for the decision of
the Committee.
The room was then cleared for the decision.
On the re-admission of the parties,
The CHAIRMAN intimated that it was the opinion of the
Committee that. the preamble of the Bill was proved, with
the exception of so much of it as related to the deviation at
Helenburgh. They further intended that the works at the
crossing of the canal should be left to a neutral engineer.
The clauses were then agreed to, ➢lr. Walker or, failing
him, Mr. Leslie, of Edinburgh, the engineers to be referred
to regarding the works.
The Committee then adjourned.

I..ONDON, WEDNESDAY. MAY 12, 1847.

Mr. JOSEPH HUME has driven the nail home. In
addressing the House of Commons, immediately after
the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose
plainly declared before the assembled Parliament the
necessity which has now become imperative of bring-
ing the entire question of the monetary system under
the consideration of a Committee of the whole House,
with the intention of establishing the currency upon
a new foundation. Nothing could possibly have ren-
dered this necessity more manifest than the bungling
and desultory manner in which the position of the
banking trade was on Monday evening brought under
the notice of the popular representatives. Sir ROB:-.11T
PEEL might well satirize the discursiveness with which
his
memorable measure was scorned, and the straggling
schemes by which its evils were proposed to be averted.
Supposing there were no more formidable or more
reasonable antagonism to the Registration
Bill
of 1844, then
the eßight Honourable
Baronet the Member for Tamworth rest per-
fectly satisfied as to the
Luridness of his
financial policy. But there
an antagonism
unqTuhexetrionably
immeasurably more formidable and
superior in regard to its rationality,
antagonism, not of stammering dissentients dowe n
the
Stephen's, but of deteriorated credit, of depre-
ciatedpaper money, of stinted specie, of impeded
commerce, of universal and undeniable trepidation.
Rejoice as Sir CHARLES WOOD may over the
paltry improvement in the recent receipts of the
Custom-house, over the microscopic elevation of the
funds on Monday, and over the more promising aspect
of our exchanges with the United States, statements
sae, as the one uttered by himself in the Parliament
of Westminster cannot be expected by any rational
man to effect a miraculous renovation of strength to
the debilitated constitution of our national commerce.
While the good name of the Bank of England could,
at this moment, restore confidence to the money
market generally, that good name is rendered un-
available by the bonds of a pusillanimous enactment
and bullion is hoarded up in the coffers hard by the
Exchange, for the shallow and erroneous hope of

2) Bill went through Committee.
POOR REMOVAL ACT AMENDMENT (No. 2:

BILL.

Lord CHURCHILL moved the second reading of
this Bill. The object of the Bill was to extend the
operation of the Act of last session to make the settle-
ment of paupers equal with the union.

After some observations from the Earl of STRAD
BROKE,

The Earl of RE DESD ALE expressed himself strongly
against the Bill, as establishing a principle highly oh-
jectionable ; namely, that of making the poor chargeable
on the general funds of a union. He thought that a Bill
ought not to pass without full discussion, and he must,
therefore, object to it.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed to-morrow.

This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be

what you did, as well in undertaking the
expedition
as in the negotiatiots which preceded the withdt awel
of her Majesty's forces from Canton.
Her Majesty's Government have, indeed, no 1 rish,
unnecessarily, to have recourse to force, in orde r to
compel the Chinese authorities to just demands ;
and they consider that the utmost patience and for-
bearance should be 'shown in dealing with them.
BLit her Majtsty's Government cannot doubt
that the lesson which those authorities haws
now learnt, that forbearance has 'its limits, and that
her ithijk-sty's servants in China, reling upon the
support of their Government, are prepared, if neces-
sary, promptly to ,assert the rights which British
subjects in China are by treaty entitled to enjoy, will
have a salutary effect on the future conduct of the
Chinese officers.

Her Majesty's Government trust, however, that
what has occurred will not operate as an encoura
ment to any thoughtless or ill-disposed individuals of
the British community, wantonly to provoke collision
with the Chinese. It will be your duty, and that of
all her Majesty's servants in China, to suppress by
the most prompt and vigorous exertions of the
Powers entrusted to you by law, every tendency to
such conduct on the part of the British community ;
and you may reckon with confidence upon the support
of her Majesty's Government in
your endeavours to
give effect to their wishes in this respect.

CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.

Mr. S. OBRIEN was led to put a question to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the Charitable
Trusts Bill. The Right Hon. Gentleman had on a
former occasion stated that the Lord Chancellor had
introduced a Bill into the House of Lords for the purpose
of regulating charitable trusts, but finding there was
so much opposition to the measure proceeding in
the present session, that Noble and Learned Lord
had thought it his duty to withdraw it. Now
what he wanted to know was, whether the Right Hon.
Gentleman had any objection to the Bill now being read
a first time, in order that it might be printed, and its
provisions considered in the interval between the disso-
lution of the present and the meeting of a new Par•
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the Hon. Member had, in some respects, misunder-
stood what he had stated on a former occasion. The
Bill had been introduced in the Lords and printed, and
he had a copy of it, which was very much at the service
of the Hon. Member.

It was a capital heat all the way. The men all got away
well excepting blue, who having soon got to work well,
and with white and yellow were level. White then
slightly led, but blue and yellow both putting on a spirt,
were, off Wentzell's again oar and oar, in which order

FACTORIES BILL.

Mr. TRELAWNY wished to know from the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to
allow the present Parliament to separate without intro-
ducing a Bill to compensate properly those persons who
would work twelve hours a day in factories, which they
were prohibited from doing by the enactments of the
Bill that had been passed in the present session.'
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could
hold out no hope to the Hon. Member of the introduction
of such a Bill during the present session.
