half-past twelve o'clock; present—the Earl of Shaftesbury,
Lords Redesdale, Hawarden, and Hood.
EASTERN COUNTIES (MARCH TO LINCOLN EX-
TENSION).
This line, which was strongly opposed, occupied the atten-
tion of their Lordships for the greater portion of the day.
The Committee, after hearing the usual evidence, decided
that he standing orders had not been complied with in several
respects. One of the objections upon which the decision was
founded was, that the plans had been lodged with the clerk
of the peace two hours too late ; another was, that some of
the plans had not sections marked on them • and a third
was, that two individuals had not been served with proper
notice.
MANCHESTER, MIDLAND, AND GREAT GRIMSBY
JUNCTION RAILWAY.
In this case the Committee decided that the standing
orders had been complied with save in two trifling exceptions.
They therefore reported favourably on the Bill.

Your elastic spring-saddle I have ridden upon, within the last nine

quality of fitting three of my horses.
" Ani Of tigintni that ibatktlefen &Mier etirrying high

deratum to every spbriSitan's saddle.

ANTICJARi4N RELiCS IN BiIptINGRAM.—We have
great ple'aiire in ilifl3rminei ode itic4rs th4t the restoration
of the ancient monuments of the Lords of iiirmitighahl# in
St. Martin's church, is now completed. The most an-
cient of tkem is the cross-legged effigy of a Knight in
armour) over *filch ig a loose surcoat, or linen frock,
beating a shield on hislgt afiii, thdrded With a " bend
lozenge." This is believed to represent Sir Williani cid Mr•
mingham, who died in the latter part of the reign of Ed-
ward 1., as he bore for his arms the bend lozenge. The
effigy is placed on a new and appropriate altar tomb, from a
design by Mr: M. H Bloxam, The two others are of alabas-
ter ; one til' thtth that of a Knight clad in plate armour,
placed on a high raised tomb, the side of which is adorned
with cinquefoil headed compartments, with smaller tre-foil
headed panels intervening, may be safely considered to re-
present that Sir John de Birminghath who was a knight
of the shire for this county in the reign of Richard 11., and
who bore for his arms " partie per pale, indented, argent,
and sable," which coat is depicted on the jupon, or tight-
fitting surcoat of the effigy. The last and most important of
the three, is the recumbent figure of an ecclesiastic, placed
also on a high altar-tomb, the side of which is divided into
seven compartments, each consisting of a pointed crocketted
arch, flanked by small intervening pinnacled buttresses;
under each arch is the figure of an angel clad in an alb, and
supporting a shield. The effigy on this tomb is habited, not
as usually represented in the vestments appointed to be used
at the celebration of the mass, but as a canon of some cathe-
dral, or as a member of a collegiate or conventual foundation.
This dress is precisely the same, allowing for the change of
faihion in the different articles, as that prescribed to be, and
actually worn at the present day by many of the clergy of
the Church of England. From the general character of this
tomb and effigy it is most probable that it was erected during
the latter part of the fifteenth century, although it is not
easy to a3co-twin whom it is intended to represented.—Bir-
mingham Gazette. -
