RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.'
GROUP 111.
The Committee met this morning at twelve; Mr. Vernon
in the chair.

BONBON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST
(LONDON BRIDGE STATION ENLARGE-
BRNT AND ARRANGEMENTS).
Mr. Hill, Q.C., opened the case on behalf of this Bill,
which is one of several schemes before the Committee for the
enlargement of the London-bridge station. In the course of
his observations the Learned Gentleman intimated that an
arrangement had been made with the rival company for a
joint Bill for the enlargements proposed. They were opposed
by the directors of St. Thomas's Hospital and the authorities
of the parish of Bermondsey.
After an explanation of the nature of the enlargements,
sad the necessity for them, the examination of witnesses was
proceeded with.
The Committee wa3 engaged up till four o'clock in hearing
evidence in support of the alterations and extensions of the
station, in order to accommodate the great and increasing
traffic of the company.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve.

GROUP VI.

WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH

AMENDMENT (NO. XI).
The Committee was occupied the whole of the day with
the cross-examination and re-examination of dr. Charles
Russell, the chairman of the Great Western, and with the
examination of Lord Falmouth, the former on the financial
condition of the Great Western Company, and the latter with
the proposed accommodation to be given by Ithe Great
Western scheme, to the districts west of Exeter.
The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

GROUP XVIII.
MANGOTSPIELD AND BATH.

The Committee assembled this morning, at twelve o'clock
—the Earl of Lincoln in the chair—when they proceeded to
take the evidence against the line.

GROUP Xi.
Thia Committee met at the usual hoar this morning.
311XILIVEINGI1LIVI AND OXFORD TETNCTION

(1)1WIATION LINES).
The whole of the clauses in this Bill were agreed to, and
the Chairman was instructed to report the same to the
House accordingly.
This closed the labours of the Committee.

GROUP XXI.
The Committee met again this morning for the purpose of
Tecommitting the
MIRNEINCLECAM, DUDLEY, AND WOLVER-
HAMPTON (WESTBROVIVT/CH BRANCH).
The clauseo I were agreed to, and the Committee adjourned.

GROUP XXIV.
ORUNTIER. AND 3101:11IIIAD EXTENSION.
The. Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock ;
Lord Itendlesham in the chair.
Mr. TALSOT opened on behalf of the promoters, anticipat-
ing the objections of the landowners who have petitioned
against the line, and called
'M'r. Ross, the engineer or the Cheater and Holyhead line
nudfar Mr. Stephenson, and who is at present the acting en-
ginf ier of the line as far as Conway, and who stated that the
alt.+ rations had been planned by him. The deviations pro-
pos .ed would principally affect a street in Flint called Evans%
lane, but the gradient would not be more than 1 in 132, and
& !much better summit would be attained. The next altera-
tion was between Dowlas and Abergelly, where the company
preposed to go about 200 yards more inland, where in order
to avoid the sea they would have to surmount a summit
'requiring gradients of one in a hundred on each side, and
there would be an increase of the tunnelling to the extent of
250 yards, but the line would be greatly improved by the
alteration. There were no valid objections that he was aware
of, and the total expense would be 50,0001., and foar com-
panies, who are now acting in concert, would have to be ac-
commodated by the new station at Cheater.
Mr. WORDSWORTH appeared for Mr. Jones Bateman, a
gentleman who conceives that his property is likely to be
affected, and who complained that an agreement which had
been settled and engrossed had not been completed by the
directors, and he therefore proposed to introduce a clause,
which would in effect embody the agreement.
Mr. Hops contended in reply that Mr. Wordsworth had
no locus stassdi, its the agreement though not completed was
not destroyed, arid therefore there was no right for the peti-
tioner to interfertt.

GROUP XLV.
:Z2IIII7IITRGH AND PERTH.
The Committee met this day in Room 28, at twelve o'clock ;
Sir Denis Le Marchant, chairman.
Mr. ANDUKIVAI opened the case for the promoters of the
Bin. The line, he stated, was 364 miles long; the esti-
mated cost 650„0001. It would traverse one of the richest
mitLeral fields in Scotland, and would be of the greatest
nat Tonal importance, as connecting Edinburgh with the
North. The line would be of great advantage to the dig.
tricts traversed, as its effect would be to lower the price of
coal and lime, both indipensahle articles for domestic and
ag3jicultural purposes. lie contended that in consequence of
an agreement entered into with the Edinburgh and Northern
Company in 1845, that company should be excluded from
appearing before the Committee.
eir Charle.o., Adams was examined to prove the agreement.
A. long and desultory argument followed, Mr. Andrews
cont ending that the Edinburgh and Northern, and the Stir-
ling and D,unfermline had no locus standi. Mr. Whately re-
plied for these companies, and
Tbte C ommittee decided that the Edinburgh and Northern
had right to appear, and that the Stirling and Dunfermline
had no locus standi.

Sir C.llarles Adams was then examined as to the minerals
in the district. He proved that this country abounded with
coal, lb ne, and freestone, which could be worked if this line
were* )astructed. The manufacturing towns, of which there
were • :veral, would also be greatly benefited.
The Earl of Minto and Sir John Hope gave similar evi-
dence.

Th a Committee then adjourned till to-morrow.
