than upon this line,
,and if he had to lay out a line at
present in the di: ct, he would not lay it out exactly
in the same mann,3 r as the present one; he would adopt

NEWPORT. ABERGA VENNI', AND REND

- The Members of this Committee net to-day at eleven
o'clock.

The evidence was resumed.
Mr. Bly, engineer, was cross-examined, and stated
that be did not know whether anything had been
done with the line from Hereford to Pontypool,
but the line from Abergavenny to. Pontypool
was being proceeded with. Not a sixpence,
however, had yet been certified for that line.
Stourport was near Dudley, and was distant from their
railway about 25 or 30 miler. From Cheltenham to
Oxford there was a broad gauge. There were some very
steep gradients on the line before the Committee.
Some further engineering evidencte in support of the
line was adduced.

The Committee decided that the preamble of this Bill
had been proved.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.)

GROUP VL
BERES AND HANTS EXTENSION.

The Committee met at the usual hour, and proceeded
to hear evidence with respect to this line.
The first witness called was Mr. John Hall, grocer of
Newbury, who gave evidence of the advantages which
he would derive in carrying on his business if a con-
nexion were afforded to him with Bristol and the west of
England.
Mr. MERREWEATHER was proceeding to cross-examine
this witness on behalf of the inhabitants of the town of
Devizes, when he was interrupted by
Mr. ALEXANDER, who objected to his appearing on
that petition.
After hearing the arguments on both sides, the Com-
mittee decided that the Learned Counsel could not ap-
pear upon that petition, but that he could, of course,
appear on the petition of certain landowners whom he
represented.

Mr. Horner, barge master of Newbury, gave evidence
also as to the benefits which would result from a con-
nexion between Newbury and the west of England.
Mr. Brunel, C.E., was examined with respect to the
line, the total length of which was about 33 miles, and
the estimated cost 600,0001. There was no tunnel upon
the line, nor any level crossings. The gradients were
very favourable, and there was no curve of less than
four furlongs radius.

This closed the case on behalf of the promoters.
The case of Mr. S. Taylor, a petitioninglandowner, wes
;hen opened by Mr. Sergeant Murphy.
The Committee adjourned till twelve tomorrow.

CRICKET.

THE GENTLEUEN OF KENT AND THE GENTLIVEN
ENGLAND.—This interesting rivalry, which occupied the
attention of the cricketing world, at Lord's, on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday, was brought to a close on the last-
named day. Space forbids further detail than that on the
first day England had scored 181 against 183 of Kent. On
Tuesday the match was resumed before an increased assem-
blage, England going in for a second hands, and when
" time " was called bad scored 201, with two wickets to go
down. Wednesday opened with England adding 24 to its
score, as will be seen by the subjoined state of the numbers
at the "close of the poll." England—First innings, 181;
second, 225. Kent--First innings, 180; second, 67. England,
therefore, won by 156 runs.
BLACKIIIA.TII (DARTMOUTH) v. CLArua.m.—This annual
contest came off yesterday at Blackheath, when the result
was the defeat of the former upon the first innings by 77 runs.
Both sides were short of their number. Dartmouth—First
innings, 92 ; second, 98. Clapham-169. There were seve-
ral catches not taken on either side.
BMTCHERS' CHA.P.ITABLE CLUB v. THE WESTERN.—A
friendly match between these clubs was brought to a deci-
sion yesterday, at the beautiful ground of the institution,
Walham-green. The butchers opened the ball by sending
Messrs. Smithers and Stent to the wickets, who were seve-
rally bawled for 0 and 1; Mr. Busher took the bat, and ran
up the score by 22, when he was caught by Mr. Welborne
from a ball of Mr. Hands. The last wicket fell fur 39, of
which there was one side ball. The scores in the two innings
were as follow :—Smithers, 0 and 2 ; 5
Stent, 1 and 0 ; Busher,
22 and 8 ; Gutteridge, 0 and 2 ; Moon, and 4 ; Collins, 0
and 31; Humphries, 0 and 1; Townsend, 1 and 4; Gillatt, 0
and 3; Stonnell, 22 and 2; Herman, 7 and 1 ; byes, 12,
wide, 3; total, 112. The Western Club made 84; 60 in the
first innings, and 24 in the second; thus losing by 28 runs.
A social evening closed the day's sport.

IMPOSITION.--This week a respectable-looking old
man, who pretended to be a lecturer on " Philology and
the powers of the human mind," called upon several par-
ties in town, representing that he had engaged a public
room, and intended to deliver a course of lectures on the
above topics. A number of perLons bought tickets, but
on their arrival at the room in which the lectures were
announced to be delivered in, they found that they had
been duped out of their money, the room never having
been taken for such a purpose.—Glasgow Post.
COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—FOUR LIVES LOST.—An
explosion of fire-damp took place about nine o'clock on
Tuesday evening at Felting colliery, near Gateshead-on
Tyne. Three men and a boy were killed, and several
others who were in the mine at the time were ii'jured
severely. An inquest was to be held on Thursday (yes
terday) afternoon.

No. 11.

" Rules agreed upon, at a public meeting of the gentry
of Canton, for the defence against the entrance of bar-
barians into the city.

" Rule 1. The inhabitants of all the shops and
houses must hire militia, who will keep a constant pa-
trol, and who, if a barbarian enters a street, will not be
frightened, but sound the alarm, so that it may spread
and be communicated from street to street, and all with
united strength be ready to beat back and destroy the
intruder.

" Rule 2. Throughout the whole city all the people
must remove the boards and planks from the roots of
their houses, and place instead many jars of water, ready
to act against incendiaries ; and must have ready pre-
pared pots of lime, brickbats, stone, &c. ; and if they see
a barbarian enter the city they must throw these down
with thundering force, and not allow a single one to
escape from their net.
"Rule 3. There must be no fear nor removing to other
places, lest they give rise to Plundering, and lest in the
absence of our people the barbarians get possession of the
country. Let all the people attend to their respective
avocations, mutually protect and defend each other, and
for ever guard their own possessions.

" Rule 4. If any spread the report through the
streets that the barbarians are entering the city, they
must be traitors, designing by such reports to ascertain
the actual condition of the city, and perhaps are seek-
ing: opportunities to plunder and rob. Let the inhabi-
tants at once seize upon such and deliver them over for
examination to the chiefs of the gentry, and if they are
truly traitors they must be sent to the proper authorities

habitants of all the streets and lanes, however small, and
all must watch and guard with care, in order to protect

love to all the people. Although the foreigners may
enter the provincial cities of the other maritime pro-
vinces, yet great is the strength of this province; and it
behoves us to quit ourselves like men, and continue
watchful to the end. Then all will be well."

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
amid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.

each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by u iqualifled authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the m aims lie would inculcate—to do unto others as he

COURT OF EXCISE, June 24.

(Before T. HARRISON, Esq., C. J. ifEuniEs, Esq., and
CHARLES Ross, Esq.
PRIVILEGES OF THE VINTNERS' COMPANY.
Lipman Lipman, of No. 21, Brydges-street, Covent-
garden, keeper of the wine and supper-rooms known as
" the Elysium," was charged with having retailed fereign
wines, having no license for such purpose.
Mr. Waddington, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the
Crown; Mr. Kinglake for the defendant.

The court was this day crowded to excess, from the
knowledge that the important question was to be raised
as to whether the privileges enjoyed by members of
the Vintners' Company could legally be used by the
keepers of the various night saloons throughout the
metropolis.
Mr. WADDINGTON having shortly etailed the facts,
Mr. Sillifant, a supervisor of excise, stated that on thei
sth of May last he went to the premises named in the in-
formation, where he was served with foreign wine by a
female behind a bar, for which he paid, and drank it on
the premises.

Mr. Coghill, the poor-rate collector for St. Paul's,
Covent-garden, proved that he received the rates from
Mr. Lipman. He never knew such a name as Harper.
He had lately been applied to to change the receipts for
the rates, to have the name of Harper inserted, which he
refused to accede to.

This was the case on the part of the Crown.
Mr. KINGLAKE contended that no case had been
made out against Mr. Lipman, as it had not been proved
that the defendant had anything to do with the sale of
the wine.

The certificate of a member of the Vintners' Company
was put in, but it proved nothing, Mr. Martin, the clerk
of the company, stating that there were several Harpers
belonging to the company ; but he was not prepared to
identify Mr. Harper who was alluded to in these pro-
ceedings.

The Court gave judgment in the full penalty of 1001.,
but, on the recommendation of Mr. Waddington, con-
sented to stay the warrant.

THE VICTORIA SALOON, LEICESTER-SQUARE.
Joseph Phillips, keeper of the Victoria Saloon and
Supper-rooms, 16, Leicester-square, was charged, on a
similar information, with retailing foreign wines without
license.

Mr. Emmans, rate-collector, proved receiving the
rates for the house from Mr. Phillips.
Mr. Commissioner HARRISON gave judgment, and
said that they believed the defendant had carried on his
business fraudulently for six or seven years ; they ad-
judged the full penalty of 100 L, and they saw no grounds
for mitigation.
London, England, 1847-06-25

FEVER AND DESTITUTION.

There is still a great extent of suffering, notwith-
standing the general establishment of relief com-
mittees, and the immense amount expended on the
out-doer relief system.
The Sligo Champion gives the following account of
Vie dreadful State of that district :
"The to,,vn and its environs are in a truly awful
state. Orat of all the houses upon ten townlands in
the di?tftct of Ransborough, not a single house is free
from Infectious distemper. In Sligo we are in a con-
&two which people would nut credit. We are sur-
Toun ded upon all sides with fever —it is everywhere,
!Ind it is growing hourly worse; it is not only increas-
e;, but it is assuming a more malignant character.
The fever hospitals are crowded, so are the fever sheds,
said outside of the doors, on the cold earth, may be
seen a number of fever patients, varying from ten
to fifteen, every day and every night. The weather,
too, becoming intensely hut, and we have, there-
fore, no rational grounds for hoping that the dis-
ease will be mitigated. One very curious and im-
portant fact has been noticed respecting the
pretalent fever, which is deserving of considera-
tion. We think it establishes beyond dispute the
necessity of thorough ventilation where fever pa-
tients are confined. "lien the fever hospitals were
erowdc (1, tents were speedily erected in the open air.
They could scarcely be called covering ; the wind had
larnf,st free access through them. All the patients
nanfined in those tents are recovering, while the rich,
o have comforts and attendance, are, when attacked,
dying like rotten sheep."
There are also very bad accounts from Galway,
Athlone, and from some parts of the county of Cork.
letter from South Reen, in the latter county, says :
I have now to mention the lamentable fact, that
cut of 62 houses and 320 inhabitants on the farm of
Mouth Reen, two years since, there now remain, after
the ravages of disease and poverty, but 8 hovels and
about 50 people—the houses were pulled down for
ring, and the people carried off by fever. At this
moment I have no doubt but dead bodies are petrify-
ing beneath the remains of the deserted huts."
The poor-law guardians of Galway have passed
resolutions to the effect that they owe 5,0001.; that it
is hopeless to collect a rate, and that unless the Go-
lernment make an advance they must close the work-
house.

THE PROVISION FLEET AT COVE.

The Cork Reporter of Saturday says :—" The
supply of food still continues to pour into our reoble
harbour. On yesterday (Friday) the number of
vessels that entered the port was fifteen, having on
board 1,523 tons of maize, 1,296 tons of wheat, 4.59
tons of flour, and 218 tons of barley, making a total
of 3,500 tons of bread-stuffs. Since our last a 11.rge
number of vessels, that had previously arrived, .left
Cove for various parts of the kingdom, bearing much-
wished for quantities of food to places where their
arrival will be most seasonable. We are much Te-
i oicKl to learn that the reports circulated with respect
to the damaged condition of many of the cargoes are
greatly exaggerated. Some have slightly suffered,
but nut to any serious extent."

IRISII LANDLORDS.—RAILWAYS.
In the Rolls Court on Saturday, in the case of the
Great Southern and Western Railway Company v.
Patrick Carey, Mr. D. Lynch, on behalf of Carey,
applied to have paid out of Court a sum of 2001.,
lodged by the Company in bank, being the amount
of purchase money awarded him, his title having
been found defective, and he having since cleared
it up.

Mr. Scully, on behalf of Thomas Bennett, the land-
lord of Carey, moved that the money should be ap-
plied, in the first instance, in payment of an arrear of
rent, amounting to 1741., due out of the whole lands
demised by lease from Bennett to Carey, of which a
portion was taken by the company.
The Master of the Rolls refused to appropriate any
portion of the purchase-money as applied for by Mr.
Scully. The landlords in Ireland had ample means
afforded them for recovery of their rent, and in al-
most every instance which came before him in that
court he found they had got, not only the full value,
but in some instances more than double the value of
their lands from railway companies. He would leave
Mr. Bennett to recover his rent by ejectment against
the remainder of the lands not taken by the com-
pany, or by action against his tenant, as he might be
advised, and ordered the money to be paid to Carey.
EVICTION OF TENANTRY.
The Sligo Champion states that a nobleman pos-
sessing an estate in that county is carrying on the
extermination system—that " he lately levelled
several houses—the houses of widows too—and now
has served several hundred processes of ejectment."

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1847.

We are rejoiced to find that active measures are in
progress for the purpose of stimulating and encou-
raging the Irish fisheries. Colonel JONES, the chief
commissioner of the Board of Works, is now tra-
velling along the coast of Ireland inspecting the vari-
ous harbours and fishing stations, in order that the
40,000/. granted by Parliament may be applied in the
most judicious and beneficial manner. It has long
been a subject of surprise to those who have heard
the sad accounts of Irish poverty and destitution,
that there should be so lamentatle a neglect of the
gifts of Pso vinEscu, that persons suffering under
all the horrors of starvation, should not make some
exertion on their own behalf, that while the neigh
bouring bays and ocean are teeming with
life,
while actual riches are before them, merely
requiring to be gathered in, they should re.
main in listless inactivity, seeing the more in-
dustrious Cornishmen coming hundreds of miles and
carrying off the most valuable cargoes. It is one of
the many almost inexplicable points in the character
of that almost ..inexplicable people. Remove them
from their native land, and none will labour with
greater energy. They will exhibit singular ingenuity
in making available and turning to the best purpose
tremeans at their disposal ; but, unfortunately, there
la a total absence of forethought in providing for any
coming event—they will rather rely on the rude con-
'vances of the moment to meet the exigency than
rt.fri
