ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS AND JENNY
LINO.—Tlio season of 1847 will be characterised as producing
two of the greatest events of modern times—Jenny Lind and
the Siege of Gibraltar! Certainly nothing can excel the

themselves and the public.
DEATH OF GEIJER, THE HISTORIAN.—By the last
arlvices from Stockholm we regret to learn the death, at
Upsala, of Professor Eric Gustaf Geijer, the celebrated his-
torian and philosopher. The decease of this eminent man is
so much the more to be regretted as he has not been
spared to complete his great work on the history of Sweden,
of which only one volume had been published, though
Professor Geijer had devoted many years to collecting mate-
rials for its continuation. _

Mr. WIIATELEY, Q.C., said parties had considered the
recommendation of the Chairman as to withdrawing the

THE CURRENCY.

The following, written twenty-two or twenty-three years
ago by Dr.Webb,* has been sent by a correspondent .
" PITT blew a bubble of paper curst,
To keep up an infamous war;
PEEL the damnable bubble burst,
To produce greater misery far.
By advance, or retreat, we're by trouble beset ;
We must ruin the debtors, or injure TILE DEBT;
As debtors are MANY and creditors FEW,
To give PAPER again 's the best thing we can do."
* Every year, every month, and almost every day, prove. this
view of the subject to be as true as the rhyme is bad.

GROUP LII.

A novelty appeared amongst the list of groups this morn-
ing, namely, an Indian railway, the

GREAT INDIA PENINSULAR (PROM EOM-
BAT TO ALLEN, WITH EXTENSIONS. dce.)
The Committee to whom it had been referred met this
morning at halt-past twelve o'clock, in No. 7, Committee-
room, Sir Robert Peel in the chair.

Mr. AUSTIN, who appeared for the promoters of the Bill
(which was proposed to be 179 miles in length, and to be
constructed at a cost of 2.000.0004, with power sub.equently
to incr,ase the capital of the company to 6,000,000/.), entered
into a lengthened statement of the proceedings and corres-
pondence which had taken place between the promoters of
the Hill and the East India House and Board of Control, from
which it appeared that the East India House opposed the
Bill, although they had not presented any petition against it,
or explained to the promoters the ground of their opposition.
It appeared, also, that the Governor-General of India
was empowered to pass local Acts, but not Acts of "Incor-
poration." It therefore bcame the province of the British
Parliament to take cognizance of Acts of Incorporation.
having especial reference to India. The promoters, however,
had only recently been informed that they would have to
encounter the opposition of the East India House a
minute to that effect having been agreed to so lately as the
sth of May. In deference. therefore, to the East India
House, and to the Board of Control, the promoters considered
it advisable not to proceed with the Bill during the present
session, and therefore he begged to withdraw it.
Sir R. PEEL intimated that he would make a report to that
effect to the House of Commons on Monday.
The Committee then adjourned.

the Committee decided that there should be 800,000 gallons

(CONITZAIRS ;BRANCH.)

The evidence on behalf of this Bill was resumed.
Mr. Home valued the land to be taken at 11,2461.
Mr. Lindsay corroborated this evidence.
Mr. Anderson, accountant, deposed the whole traffic ex-
pected if the full scheme was taken at 7.1661.; deducting the
traffic expected from the central junction branch, it would
be about 3,000/.

Mr. FORSYTII then addressed the Committee on behalf of
the opposing petitioners, Mr. and Mrs. Reid, asking the Com-
mittee to postpone the present till the next Bill was taken.
Mr. Alexander, of Ballochmyle, was examined with the
object of showing that the break at Glasgow was very incon-
venient to the traffic for Ayrshire and Renfrewahire passing
east and north.
Mr. Knight, traffic manager of the Ayrshire Company,
was examined to the same effect. The branch over the
Clyde to the College Station, and through it to the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Railway, was absolutely required for goods,
passengers, and traffic.
Mr. Burrell, of Port-Glasgow, gave evidence to show the
large imputation of sugar, molasses, flour, and cotton, into
Glasgow, and that a large portion of it went by coast. The
connexion would be of great convenience to this traffic.

understanding that the Commissioners should dictate to the

MENT AND BRANCH TO LAURENCE..
=RIC).

Mr. IliwE addressed the Committee in favour of the Bill.
He urged the great public and local importance which the

speech.
Mr. Buchannan, Chairman of the Scottish Midland Junc-
tion, was examined as to the merits of the line. The com-
pany was formed in 1844, and was promoted by the prin-
cipal landowners in the country. The original proposition
was the carrying out of a through line from Perth to
Aberdeen.

Mr. Byres was examined, and said that in and about
Brechen there was a great deal of weaving carried on, and
that there were also a great number of saw,
flour, and spinning mills. Northward to Laurence-
kirk, there were also a great number of manufacto-
ries about Lut:iermuir' calculated that there would be
about 20,000 tons of lime used annually. Within two
miles of Forfar there was the finest marl that could be
found. The Arbroath and Dundee Railway had benefited
the country very much. Upwards of 100,000 persons passed
along that line annually, and 70,000 along the Dundee and
Newtyle Railway. In the latter district not even a coach
formerly existed. The population alone the line, including
Forfar, lirechin, and L. urencekirk, was 30,946.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1847.

An address to his constituency hassvrrecady an-
nounced the temporary withdrawal of
NAPIER from his Parliamentary duties, for theienEl
patriotic and congenial duties connected with the equally
ele-
ment upon which the Gallant Admiral has acquired
80 much celebrity. Nothing but the direction of his
capacities to the maritime service of England could
compensate the electors of Marylebone for the inter-
ruptioa of those legislative labours which have proved
so acceptable in their earnestness, and so serviceable
in their assiduity. But Sir CHARLES NAPIER has
thereby, by no means, a diminished claim upon
the confidence of his constituency. On the
contrary, he is by his recent appointment
ent:Lied to expect a redoubled expression of
that confidence which was so cordially demon-
strated on a former occasion. Now that the hero of
Acre is ordered to hoist his flag on board the St.
10 Vincent, for the purpose of proceeding forthwith to

GROUP XLIIL

The Committee met again this morning at the usual
hour ; Mr. Protheroe in the chair.
vrwrzitronmo AND LINZERICE.
The Cmttuarax then formerly declared that the preamble
of the Bill with respect to the Bansha deviation, had been
proved ; he intimated yesterday that the Committee were of
this opinion, but he was not in a position to make a formal
• declaration of that opinion as the Railway Commissioners
had then made their report with respect to the finances of the
case. The report was laid before the Committee this after-
noon, and he was therefore now enabled to do so.

The clauses, with some amendments, especially one, which
was agreed to between the parties with respect to the way in
which Mr. Baker's property should be treated, were then
agreed to.
The remaining deviations sought to be made by the Bill
were from Kilsheland to Lisnamuck, and from Garnavella to
Town Parks, near Caher, both in the county of Tipperary,
which being unopposed were at once agread to. The
works on the main line, which was passed last session,
are proceeding with great activity. Twenty-seven miles
between Limerick and Tipperary will be opened to the public
in the course of a few days.
The report was then agreed to, and
Mr. PROTHEILO intimated that he would report the fa-
vourable decision of the Committee to the House.
The Committee then broke up.

TALLOW.

The letters which have reached us since our last from
St. l'etersburgh, are to the effect that shipments of
Tallow have progressed more rapidly than had been
generally expected here, upwards of 24,000 casks having
been shipped off up to the 12th instant. The demand in
our market is still heavy, but we can notice no further
decline in the quotations. Y.Y.C. on the spot is 47s 9u
to 48s 3d, and for forward delivery 44 per cwt. Town
Tallow is 47s 6d to 48s net cash.

FOREIGN FRUIT.—Very large quantities, of fruit
have been imported within the last few days from Hol-
land and Belgium. Without enumerating those of a
more remote date, we may make particular mention of
the latest arrivals, which have included the following :
The Rainbow, from Rotterdam, brought 20 baskets of
Apricots, 232 baskets of currants, several packages of
melons and cucumbers, and 1,482 baskets of various other
kinds of fruit; the Batavier, from Rotterdam, 22 pack-
ages of cucumbers and of melons, and 332 baskets and
376 hampers of currants; the City of Rotterdam, from
Rotterdam, 613 baskets of different descriptions; the
Antwerpen, from Antwerp, 27 baskets of pears, and 501
baskets of cherries; and the Magnet, from Rotterdam,
966 baskets of various kiAs of fruit, the growth of Hol
land; and the James Watt, fr..m Havre, 745 baskets, the
growth of France. This is the largest arrival of the
kind which has taken place from Belgium during the
the season, and the whole must have had an important
effect on the price of fruit on Saturday in the metropo-
litan markets. Every facility is giveuby the authorities
for these supplies of foreign fruit being immediately
landed on their arrival by the steampacke;s, in conse-
quence of their perishable nature, and delivered to their
uestinarion with the least practicable delay._
