ness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums
also share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them,
and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (it
loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

BAIL COURT, May 4.

THE QUEEN V. WAKLEY, M.P.-CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
THE LATE MILITARY FLOGGING AT HOUNSLOW.

Mr. WARREN applied fur a criminal information against
Mr. Waklev. M.P., coroner for Middlesex, for various libels
uttered by him at public meetings, especially at the Craven
Arms, reflecting on the professional and moral character
of Dr. Warren, with reference to his conduct and evidence
at the recent inquest at Hounslow, held on the body of
private White, of the 7th Hussars.
The various libels were then read, with which the public
are already so familiar, that we deem it unncessary to repeat
them.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE refused the application.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 4.
(Sittings in Banco.)
JONES V. JONES.

In this case the rule w•as made absolute, to set aside the
verdict entered for the defendant, as being a perverse verdict.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 4.
(Sittings in Bar.co.)
EDWOOD V. WARD.

Mr. SDAMONS applied to the Court to postpone the hearing
of the above cause until an action in the Queen's Bench, of
Hooper v. Lamb, had been decided. The action in respect
of which he now moved was against the provisional com-
mitteemen of a line of railway, for work and labour done by
an engineer.
It appeared that the case of Hooper against Lamb was one
similar in its nature to the present, and therefore it was
urged that it was desirable to await the decision in that case.
The COURT allowed the case to stand over until the sum-
mer assizes.

GROUP XLVIII.

CALEDONIAN, GLASGOW, GARNEIRK, and
COATBRIDGE (BRANCH TO GLASGOW
STATION).
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Mr. Fortsrm shortly replied on behalf of the Forth and
Clyde Canal Company.
Mr. ROBERTSON, of the Scotch bar, then replied for the
promoters of the Bill. He commenced by pointing out the
great importance of a station in Glasgow such as the one
proposed, in a most central situation, and connected as it
would be through the Garnkirk line with the Cale-
donian and Clydesdale Junction lines to the south
and south-west, the Scottish Central to the north,
and the Dumbartonshire junction to the west. The traffic
would be very great, and now that the Bill for the proposal
of the Dunlop-street station was withdrawn, it was so much
more important that this station should be allowed. These
were most important considerations for the Committee,
against which they had to put the allegation of the opponents
of the danger of constructing the works. The Learned
Gentleman then went through the evidence for the line,
as compared with that for the opposition, and
submitted that no case had been made out against the Bill,
and that therefore the preamble ought to be declared as
proved.
The CHAIRMAN said, that as one of the members of the
Committee was absent they would adjourn their decision on
the Bill till to-morrow.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at 12.
London, England, 1847-05-05

The case for the promoters closed after hearing the evi-
dence of several witnesses.
Mr. MEREWEATHER summed up on behalf of the Norfolk
Railway Company.

GROUP XLVIII.
The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock; Lord
Courtenay in the chair.
CALEDONIAN, GLASGOW, GAMNICIRIE, and

COATZIRIDGE (BRANCH TO GLASGOW
STATION).

The Committee, after deliberation, declared the preamble
proved, and required a clause in the Bill, binding the com-
pany to construct their works where they passed under the
canal and over the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, to the
satisfaction of an engineer to be named.

A TheuciL i EarlD having
vEinLgLEsNtaßtoe:o:oHr leaptltye mt
to
at e dci
question
onight,
\in the House of Lords, to draw the Government into
a discussion upon matters of a most important charac-
ter connected with our foreign relations. The Earl of
by the Earl of HARDWICKB, that it was intended to
' assemble during the summer two squadrons —one in
the Channel, and another in the Mediterranean, for the
purpose of improving both seamen and naval officers
in the tactics of naval evolutions, the Earl of ELLEN.
BOROUGH seized the opportunity of alluding to the
existing distribution of some of our ships-of- war off
Lisbon and Athens respectively, and of throwing out
some inculpatory observations upon the policy at pre-
sent pursued by the Administration in Greece and
Portugal. As the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH had given
no notice of his intention to raise a discussion upon
some of the most abstruse points of international
law, the Marquis of LANSDOWNB very properly
declined to deviate from established practice; but,
at the same time, in a general way, gave a satis-
factory explanation of the course pursued by the
Government with regard to those countries. The
Earl of ELLENBOROUGH having aseurnmall, that " no
doubt the Noble Earl (Aummiusn) regretted this
destination of our ships, forced as it was upon
him by the superior authority of the Foreign
Office," the President of the Council replied that
our ships had been detached with the full con-
currence and assent of the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, and added, that " when the proper time came
the Government would be prepared to communicate
to the House the grounds upon which these forces
had been called to act beyond that immediate object
on which all their Lordships would wish them to act
—he meant the protection of British interests." Lord
LANSDOWNE expressed his hope that our interference
had not been as ineffectual as Lord ELLENBOROUGH
was pleased to take for granted, assured the House
that the presence of our squadron in the Bay
of Lisbon had inspired our merchants with security,
and considered that, in the present state of
Europe, we were bound to watch over the
events that take place, and to assert the rights
and interests of this country. This is language
becoming a British statesman. The Earl of ELLEN..
BOROUGH'S speech was somewhat unadvised. First,
remarking that the French had sent to Athens a naval
demonstration of superior strength to our own, his
Lordship asked the Government (without notice, be it
remembered), whether orders had been sent to allow
our forces to act ? for, observed Lord ELLENBOROUGH,
" if. such orders had been sent, and there were
similar orders sent on the other side, might
not all this lead to a fatal conflict?" Such
rsitevtic'ne are ill-timed, and can minister to no

GENERAL POLICE BILL

Mr. BOUVERIE wishedtoask the Hon. and Learned
Member, the Lord Advocate, whether there was any in-
tention to introduce a Bill for general police purposes
applicable to Scotland, similar to the one for England.

ENTIMMD AND EDIVIONTON EXTENSION,

The case for this line was next gone into. The line con-
tinues the existing Enfield and Edmonton line on to the
Great Northern Railway, and through the medium of the
Eastern Counties line giving the traffic of the Great Northern
line access to the East and West Indian Docks. The esti-
mated cost was 60,0001.

MULANCIE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
On meeting again, Counsel said the two companies had
mutually agreed to continue as one scheme against the
Hurlet Company, and, in order to facilitate the reception of
evidence, they had arranged to take the line as laid down by
the Barrhead Company south of Dykebar, and the line north
of that to Paisley as laid down by the Greenock Company.
Mr. Holmes, manufacturer in Paisley, Mr. Peacock, coal-
master, and Mr. Menzies gave evidence of the advantage
arising to Paisley from the proposed line, which would open
up the Lanark coal to the east, and effect a ready transit of
goods to Glasgow and other places.
Sir B. H4LL•, before the Committee adjourned, strenu-
ously advised both parties to come to an understanding,
and end the remaining opposition between the Horlet Com-
pany and the amalgamated company.
The Committee then adjourned until Thursday.

WESTMORELAND SOCIETY.

This benevolent society, for the maintenance and
education of children of Westmoreland parents, or of a
its
one parent, born in or near London, held
one hundred and first anniversary, last evening, at the
London Tavern.

After an excellent dinner, at which about 100 persons
sat down, the usual loyal and national toasts were drunk.
Lord Lonsdale presided.
Alderman TrtomPsom proposed the health of the Pre-
sident, and congratulated tho society on a patron so
liberal, and who for forty years had maintained the
interests of the society. lie also adverted to his conduct
as Lord Lieutenant of the county, where his services
were so beneficial to the county.
Lord LONSDALE briefly returned thanks.
Alderman THOMPSON, in returning thanks for the
health of the county members, took occasion to advert to
the fear that was entertained that the Bank woulcl stop
payments. He ridiculed the thought, and said that the
" old lady," was never so comfortably situate in her life
—(Cheers)---nor ought they to grumble if food was
dear, so that there was enough,
which, he was quite sure
there was for the whole world.
Lord LONSDALE, in proposing prosperity to the
county of Westmorland, observed, that they had now a
great opportunity of elevating themselves in the scale of
counties, by reason of the railway which had recently
been opened.—(Hear, hear.)
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN intimated, dating the course
of the evening, that it was his intention to renew his
subscription of 50/. for this year. Several other toasts,
appropriate to the occasion, were then given and ade-
quately responded to. The amount of subscriptions for
the day was announced to be 600/.

JOINT STOCK BANKS.

Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to know if the Govern-
ment shortly intended to introduce a Bill relating to
joint stock companies.
Mr. M. GIBSON replied that such a Bill was at pre-
sent under the consideration of the Lord Chancellor, as
to certain points of law which were rather complicated,
and that as soon as the legal features of the measure was
settled, it would be introduced without delay.

traffic which might be expected along the line, and to the
great accommodation it would give to the district.

Mr. Heighton, formerly traffic manager of the Taff Vale
line, and manager of collieries in the north of England, gave
evidence of the inconvenience of the broad gauge, upon which
it was proposed to construct the Swansea Valley in connexion
with the South Wales. It would fail to connect the port of
Swansea and the district with the Birmingham line and the
north of England, and it did not offer the same convenience

WINDSOR.

Mr. TALIOT. Q.C., opened the merits of this Bill, which
is for a line of railway from the Great Western station at
Slough down to George-street, in the town of Windsor
and called
Captain Berkeley, of the Life Guards—He said he lived
on his estate in the neighbourhood of the town of Windsor, and
was -a magistrate of the county of Berks. He had heard
frequent and very general complaints made in Windsor of
the incovenience of transit to London. Frequent applica-
tions had been made to the Great Western for a branch, but
Mr. Russell and others invariably said they would not pro-
ject a branch without the consent of the Crown. He had
been connected with the scheme of last year, projected
by Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Redborough, and others. That scheme
was favourably considered by the Great Western ' - but it was
lost in Committee. It was almost the same with the scheme
of the present year, which he thought would be a great
accommodation to Windsor and the neighbourhood.
Other evidence of a similar character was called.
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow.

GROUP VI.
SALISBURY AND YEOVIL, AND EXETER,
YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Locke, C.E., then proceeded to state the course of the
proposed lines. They would start from Salisbury, at the
termination of the line sanctioned by Parliament
last year at Fisherton. The terminus would be at
Queen-street, in the city of Exeter. The total length of the
line from Salisbury to Exeter would be 873/4, the distance of
Salisbury from London would be 81% miles, making the
total distance from Exeter to London 169 miles. The pre- "
sent distance by the Great Western Railway was 193 miles,
making a saving in favour of the South-Western lines of
24 miles. There were no features presenting any engineering
difficulties, with the exception of a tunnel at Honiton of
about 1,800 yards in length. The total cost of the line, in-
cludinglthe branches between Salisbury and Exeter, would
be 2,800,0001. Several alterations had been made in the
present line for the purpose of meeting the objections urged
against the measure by Lord Beaumont, the chairman of the
.Committee in the House of Lords last session. The South-
Western Company had undertaken to lease the Exeter,
Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway at 5i per cent. The rail-
ways had received their origin in the strongly expressed de-
sire of the people of the district through which the line
passed, and he had every reason to believe that the con-
tin-nation of the line would prove advantageous to the coun-
try, and remunerative to the shareholders.
The cross-examination of the witness was concluded by
Mr. Sergeant lit NGLAKE on the part of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway, and Mr. Frampton, a landowner, who was opposing
both the schemes of the South-Western and the Great
Western.
The Committee then rose, and adjourned till twelve to-
morrow.

I.ONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1847.

The Earl of ELLENnonouonlatternpted last night,
in the House of Lords, to draw the Government into
a discussion upon matters of a most important charac-
ter connected with our foreign relations. The Earl of
AUCKLAND having stated, in reply to a question put
by the Earl of HARDWICKE, that it was intended to
assemble during the summer two squadrons—one in
the Channel, and another in the Mediterranean, for the
purpose of improving both seamen and naval officers
in the tactics of naval evolutions, the Earl of ELLEN.
BOROUGH seized the opportunity of alluding to the
existing distribution of some of our ships-of- war oft
Lisbon and Athens respectively, and of throwing out
some inculpatory observations upon the policy at pre-
sent pursued by the Administration in Greece and
Portugal. As the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH had given
no notice of his intention to raise a discussion upon
some of the most abstruse points of international
law, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE very properly
declined to deviate from established practice; but,
at the same time, in a general way, gave a satis-
factory explanation of the course pursued by the
Government with regard to those countries. The
Earl of ELLENBORMIGII having assumed, that " no
doubt the Noble Earl (AUCKLAND) regretted this
destination of our ships, forced as it was upon
him by the superior authority of the Foreign
Office," the President of the Council replied that
our ships had been detached with the full con-
currence and assent of the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, and added, that " when the proper time came
the Government would be prepared to communicate
to the House the grounds upon which these forces
had been called to act beyond

that the presence of our squadron in the Bay
of Lisbon had inspired our merchants with security,
and considered that, in the present state of
Europe, we were bound to watch over the
events that take place, and to assert the rights
and interests of this country. This is language
becoming a British statesman. The Earl of ELLEN-
BOROUGH'S speech was somewhat unadvised. First,
remarking that the French had sent to Athens a naval
demonstration of superior strength to our own, his
Lordship asked the Government (without notice, be it
remembered), whether orders had been sent to allow
our forces to act ? for, observed Lord ELLENBOILOUGH.
"if such orders had been sent, and there were
similar orders sent on the other side, might
not all this lead to a fatal conflict?" Such
reflections are ill-timed, and can minister to no
