VI Loan Caancsacon took kis seat upon the Iveeise,2k
at Five o'clock
The Earl of DALHOUSIE then rose to introd his
Bill, concerning the dissolution of railway companies,
notice of which he had given before Easter and
also to propose a seri )3 of resolutions identical
with those proposed by Sir K. PEEL in the Rouse of Can.
mons, which have already appeared in The Sun. The Noble
Earl, in his speech, recapitulated the arguments used by Sir
PEEL, and concluded by proposing his resolutions as kaes-
sional order,
Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of their Lordabipa to

the enormous powers of interference with private property
given to the different companies by these railway Bills, and
contpmw that such Bil!sQh,ul4 erltru,terlf,r a ljuilication
to a tribunal of a totally oifferer.t nature from such all one as
a Committee of the House of Commons.
The Earl of WICKLOW thought that the proposed order
would affect in a different manner those companies whose
Bills originated in their Lordships' House from those which
originated in the House of Commons. He thought this a
point deserving of consideration.
The Marquis of SALISBURY thought there might be as
much reason to dread the winding-up mania, as there bad
been to dread the railway mania. He thought the proposed
measure gave, in some instances, power to a minority to
control a majority. This ought to be remedied.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought the Govern-
ment should take up the subject, and not leave the decision
of the propriety of constructing railways to be decided by
the stock market. With regard to Ireland especially, he
thought the Government should point out the lines that
ought to be constructed, and should afford every facility for
their construction.
The Earl of ROSEBKEY wished to know whether it was
proposed to make this a sessional order, applicable only to
the present session, or a standing order, applicable to future
years ?
Lord ASIIBURTON considered the proposed measures were
the best that could be proposed for enabling parties to
rileuthlpiieLleivwodferoeasdbrthemselves from those difficulties which they had
imprudently brought upon themselves.
Lord CAMPBELL entirely approved of the measure proposA,
because it left everything to private enterprise. The rail-
way system had been carried on in this country more ad-
vantageously. than it would have been had the
Government taken its management into their own hands.

KINNAIRD asked if the standing order was to be con-
sidered to-morrow?

The Earl ofa..lllMM said no, Monday. The Noble
Earl then expressed his satisfaction at the general approval
which had been expressed of the measure, and replied to
various objections. He thought the power of winding- up
was not given to too small a number. Three-fifths was a
minimum, and if the consent of a greater number was re-
quired, it would be requiring almost an impossibility. He
thought, too, that if the promoters of Bills could not get the
consent of one-fifth of the proprietary, Parliament would be
justified in postponing the Bills. The order was meant to
be purely a sessional order, to expire with the present
session. 'He could assure the Noble Marquis that no delay
sboulo be tt. rown in the way of the Irish Bills now standing
for a third reading by this order, and on the 27th he should
propose the third reading of those Irish Bills Nhsitlon puthnow
stood for a third reading. With regard to the quve
by the Noble and Learned Lord (CAMPBELL) he understood
that no alteration would be made in the legal liabilities of
any parties by this Bill.
After a few words from the Earl of EGLINGTON, the Bill
was read a first time.
On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, the considera-
tion of the sessional order was fixed for Monday.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

I The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock.
After the presentation of several petitions,
Sir R. PEEL moved the resolutions of which he had
given notice, with respect to railways. He thought a
case had arisen for Parliament to interfere to prevent the
capital of the country being employed in useless rail-
way speculations. The total amount of car ital
required for railways would, he felt convinced, be much
greater than the Legislature ought to sanction, and under
these circumstances he thought Parliament ought to have
the opinion of the parties themselves as to the expediency
of carrying on the differtnt lines with which
they were connected. He believed that there was
a sincere desire on the part of many persons
connected with railways to relieve themselves
from the responsibilities under which they had involuntarily
placed themselves. He was not surprised at this, considering
the present L•tite of the law with respect to inchoate eon',
panies—a state which, in his opinion, ought not longer to
exist. He thought, considering the state of may innocent
and helpless subscribers to railway companies, the egislature
was called upon to interfere, and if, after Parliament had re-
lieved them froif, the obligation they at present laboured
under, parties still continued to speculate is railways, they
would be no longer objects of sympathy and pity. The Go-
vernment had felt it to be their duty to interfere to put an
cad to the improvident speculation that was taking
place in the country with respect to railways;
and for that purpose he trusted that the House
would adopt the resolutions he had laid on the table,
in order to further the operations of a Bill which would be
introduced, giving power to all scripholders of inchoate rail-
way companies to dissolve them if they thought it necessary.
The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by moving the res lu-
tion of which he had given notice (which appeared in The
Sun of Wednesday.)

Mr. F. FRENcfisid if these resolutions were carried, the
effect of them would be materially to delay all Irish Railway
Bills. He trusted that something would be done to expedite
Irish Railway Bills.

Mr. BERNAL thought that these measures ought to
be put a stop to long before they came to a
third reading. He was perfectly sure that resolutions
like those proposed would not remedy the evils intended to
be removed. Immense expense would have to be incurred,
and all the evils inflicted before the cure could be applied.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL supported the resolutions. He
believed that the Government, in bringing forward these
resolutions, had done all they could to prevent improper spe-
culation.

Mr. LABOUCHERS thought the course proposed by the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government ;was the best
that under all circumstances could be adopted. He could not,
however, agree that the present was the best time for the
interference of the Government. He thought that the Go-
vernment ought to have interfered at a much earlier
period of the session, if they wished their measure
to be effective. He, however, thought the proposition was
replete with so much good that he should give it his cordial
support. He thought many parts of the resolutions were
defective, especially that with respect to the meetings of
shareholders. According to the resolutions as they stood,
an Irish company might meet in London, and an English
one in Edinburgh.
Mr. HUDSON agreed with the Government that the present
was the best time to bring this measure forward. He be-
lieved if it had been brought forward at an earlier period
of the session it would not have met with that
general support which it would at the present moment
He was sure that, notwithstanding these resolutions, railway
measures good in themselves would be introduced. He
trusted that the measure would be received and fairly treated
by the directors of every railway, but that no needless haste
would be adopted in dissolving companies.
Mr. M. PranaPs cordially supported the resolutions, and
in doing so, expressed a hope that no legitimate undertaking
would receive a check, in consequence of their adoption by
the House
Mr. NEWDIGATE suppO.rted the resolutions.
Mr. WARD supported the resolutions.
Mr. F. BARING also supported the resolutions.
Mr. BecKerr Dexisosr, although he thought the proposed
interference late, considered it better than no interference at
all. He was sure that all directors of railway companies who
were anxious to do their duty would avail themselves of these
resolutions, call their proprietary together, and take their
opinions as to the carryieg on of the undertaking.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in supporting the
resolutions, denied that the Government could have selected
a better time than the present for bringing forward their
present proposition.

Mr. Gibson, Lord Sandon, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Packe, Lord
G. Bentinck, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Milnes,
Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Might supported the motion.
The resolution was then agreed to.
Mr. T. DUNCOMPE then propcsed tha resolutions to which
he had referred in the earlier part of the evening.
The resolutions were agreed to after a short discussion, and
a few verbal amendments.

Mr. THORN ELY gave notice for Mr. WATSON of his inten-
tion on the 7th of May to move for a Select Committee to
inquire into the Fees and Compensations in the Courts of
Law and Equity.
Lord SANDON moved for the production of copies of all
memorials addressed to the First Lord of the Treasury, and
the President of the Board of Trade, praying for a reduction
of the duty on tea.
After a short discussion the motion was agreed to.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House aej Jutted at a Quarter to One o'clock.

The Earl of ABERDEEN, some weeks ago, made some
brief •remarks in the Lords, expressing, with more
warmth than he usually displays, his disapprobation of
the conduct pursued by the Greek Government towards
England in regard to the interest of the loan, and an-
nounced that it was the determination of the British
Government, as well as the Emperor of RUSSIA, to take
some strong measures to enforce payment, in
case the present Minister, COLETTI, should per-
sist in refusing redress. The subject was ad-
verted, to in the French Chamber of Deputies, when
M. GtHZOT took part with COLETTI, blamed the lan-
guage of Lord ABERDEEN, the Members approving of

The foreign loan is not even alluded to in'
and care is taken, in exhibiting the income and
expenditure, to show that payment at present
is utterly hopeless, as the revenue falls short of the
amount absolutely necessary tc carry on the affairs of
Government. What step, then, will Lord ABERDEEN
adopt to enforce payment ? Will he seize upon some of
the more thriving seaports and collect the customs'
duty, or lay an embargo on the shipping, or threats n
to put: an execution into the royal exchequer at
Athens ? We fear he would be opposed, in every
efficient 'attempt to enforce Briti, h rights, by the
French Minister, backed by the Chamber, for Greece,
insolvent and ungrateful Greece, is a great favourite
there at present. COLETTI is devoted to French inte-
rests, and he will make his devotion more conspicuous
by insulting both England and Russia under the wing of
France. It is, however, at best a contemptible quarrel,
and the interests at least of two of the powers require
that it should be settled without delay. Greece is not
worth contending for ; she could render no assistance
whatever to either of the two countries, should

is bankrupt, her Km remains what he was when
he was first placed on the throne, there is no Minister
that really takes an interest in the welfare of the state ;
COLETTI, and MAVROCORDATO, and METAXAS, are en-
gaged respectively, when out of office, in devising
"bentas tor supplanting a rival, and Greece, whose

emancipation from Turkish dominion was so ardently
desired by the enthusiastic admirers of her former I
(1,-eds, and which ir.,l, -
pendent kingdom for eightetm years, is, per-
haps, next to Spain, the worst governed country
in the world. Does it become the dignity
of England and France to embroil themselves with her
affairs, and to rouse old national antipathies in their re-
spective Houses of Parliament for a people so lost to
all sense of gratitude and honour ? Looking at the case
impartially, we can make excuse for Lord ABERDEEN'S
irritation. Greece owes her independence to England.
Englishmen left their country and devoted themselves
and their property to her service. Loans were raised
and battles fought to release her from the yoke
of Turkey ; and all these services are repaid
by refusing to acknowledge her just claims, and
' by treating England with contempt. These are
just causes of annoyance to tho British Minister, but
they furnish no sufficient reason fur quarrelling with
France, or adoptitzg any strong measures that might
call forth a national display. Two men so little pugna-
cious as ABERDEEN and GUIZOT, and generally so much
guided by sound discretion, might settle the differences
by official negotiations without at all involving the sus-
ceptibilities of two rival nations.

It has been said, as a proof of the keen, plodding,
and wary habits of the Scotch, that a Jew is a very rare
sight north of the Tweed, and that the huekstering
Hebrew, if he chances to cross the river, hurries back
with the most inconceivable speed, in order to escape
death from starvation. On the cause of this singular
phenomenon we will not venture any suppositions, but
about the paucity of the Jews in the north there can be
no doubt—the very small numbers of that industrious
race found in Scotland forming only exceptions to the
general rule. There ie another point, however, in
which a similarity of manners and customs are infinitely
more striking, and which has excited the wonder of an-
tiquarians as well as learned philosophers. In their ob-
servauce of one day of the week as a day of rest a
considerable portion of the Scotch follow the example
set by the Jews, and consider it a heinous crime to do
any work on that day. They forget altogether the
new dispensation, they disregard the precepts of the
great FOUNDER of our Religion, who was persecuted to
death by Sabbath-worshippers, and perversely consider
it one of the great objects of Christianity to render the
first day of the week, which ought to be observed with
joy and gladness, a day of sorrow and punishment. Our
readers will remember the heaps of petitions that wire
poured into Parliament during the days of Sir ANDREW
AGNEW, praying for the better observance of the
Sabbath in Scotland, a county where all foreigners,
even the Jews themselves, consider it would be im-
possible to make the observance more strict. Some of
them will also remember that when the first important
line of railroad, that between Edinburgh and Glasgow,
was opened, the most strenuous and unfair means were
adopted by the Agnewites to irfluence the directors and
shareholders, and compel them to stop the trains on
Sunday. We look back with satisfaction to that period,
because The Sun took an active part in defeating a
scheme which, if established in that iuseance, might have
been made applicable to all the lines throughout that
kingdom. We showed from the best of all authority,
the New Testament, that the Jewish observance of the
first day of the week was at dire ct variance with its pre-
cepts, as well as the example of the Apostles, and the
more rational portion of the directors, we are glad to
say an overwhelming majority, took the same view of
the question. A Glasgow clergyman, after a silence of
three months, attempted to refute our arguments, but he
could not refute matters of fact, nor language plain to
the commonest understanding., nor the direct injunctions
laid down by divine authority. But still this party
interferes with the more liberal habits of the great body
of the people, and have fallen upon a new scheme to effect
their purpose. They now pour petitions into Parliament
praying that the license granted to toll bar houses to
furnish refreshment for travellers may all be withdrawn
by an Act of the Legislature ; and one of their most
weighty arguments for this harsh step is, that the
Sabbath is desecrated at these places by drinking
spirituous liquors. We find, however, from a number
of petitions presented to the House of Lords on Tuesday
evening, by Lord CAMPBELL, that this step will not sa-
tisfy them, and that all h' uses licensed for the sale of
spirituous liquors on Sunday roust be forthwith closed.
We cannot say that it is an electioneering scheme, bat cer-
tainly it has all the appearance of a trick of that description
The Earl of Mrsero'was the determined supporter of a
Bill to abolish licenses for toll-houses, which the Com-
mons manfully rejected. It was brought forward by
Mr. Fox MAULE, and mainly supported by Mr. P. M.
STEWART, two pillars of the Free Church ; and the
parties who are bent on a still further encroachment on
the liberty of the subject entrust their petitions to such
Whig Lords as BREADALBANE, MINTO, and CAMPBELL.
The Tory peers seemed to take little interest in the
matter, and the Bill was allowed quietly to pass. But
in the other House that party acted a more noble part.
The Scotch Tory Members, though few in propor-
tion to their opponents, mustered strongly, and threw
out the Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM and the Lord Advo-
cate, who ought to know something about the internal
Government of the country, voted against it, and could
see no reason fur believi❑g that there was any truth in
the arguments urged by Mr. Fox MAULE, or that the
Sabbath could be desecrated more at occasional toll-bar
houses on the high road than at the thousands of places
open for the same purpose in large towns. To meet
this difficulty, these meddlers with the rights of private
conscience—those men who are eternally seeing motes in
their brother's eye, but consider not the beam in their own
eyes, have adopted a more comprehensive scheme, and
are determined to forbid refreshments on Sundays to all
parties except those who have well-stocked cellars at
home, or can afford to pay the high charges of a hotel.
This is an abominable attempt to tyrannise over the
lower classes ; it is one of the most glaring instances of
cla,s legislation, and we consider it therefore out
bounden duty to the unrepresented classes to do all
our power to protect their rights, and put down bare•
faced schemes of oppression, which never would have
been broeched by Whig Lords or Whig Commoners,
under a more extended system of representation.

"To the first questions addressed to him, Lecomte replied
proudly that he was the author cf the attempt, and thet he
did not wish either to escape or to conceal himself. It is
since known that when he said SO he thought he had struck
his Majesty. When, subsequently, he discovered his mistake,
he expressed hie deep regret at not having effected his ob-
ject. Since his capture, Lecomte has refused to taste any
aescription of food. He merely drinks pure water, and
passes his entire time lying on his bed, his head covered with
the skirts of his frock coat. lle asked for a razor, and ap-
peared much disappointed that he was refused. On Satur-
day he was taken from his prison and conducted to the spot
where he committed the crime, and he there described his
preparations with the most imperturbable coolness. He had
even taken the precaution to cover the barrel of his gun with
leather, to prevent the reflection of the sun from betraying
his position."
" During the jounsey of Lecomte to Paris," says the Presse,
"he exhibited the greatest sang fold. He conversed
with the officer of gendarmery respecting the details and
preparatives of the crime. He attribntes his missing to the
precipitation with which he got up on the heap of faggots
when he heard the royal carriage coming sooner than he ex-
pected. Far three days he refused all food, and it was only
in the carriage on his way to Paris that he consented to eat
a morsel, and drink a glass of beer." •
Immediately on his arrest he underwent a preliminary
examination, which wag conducted by M. AMMAN DESAIx,
Procureur du Roi, and M. BANDELAIRE, Juge d'lnstruction.
On the arrival of Duke PASQUIER and M. HEBERT, the in-
closure in which LECOMTE had stood when he made the
attack, and the different points which it appeared
from his answers he had passed over, were most minutely
examined, but although the exact details of that examination
have not been reported, the Constitutionnel affirms that the
result has been to show that he had no accomplices. He is
at present confined itt the' Conciergerie, as the prison in the
Luxembourg is not yet completed.

most loyal toasts and speeches were given, and received with
the greatest enthusiasm.
According to the Conslitutionnd a proposition for a general
review of the National Guard of Paris had been discussed in
the Council of Ministers, but had been rejected in conse-
quence of the opposition of M. GurzoT and M. DUCHATEL.
The same paper announces, that no change has taken place
in the projected journey of the Duke and Duchess de
NEMOURS to England. They intend to leave Paris a few
days after the areourhernent of Queen VICTORIA.
A report of Marshal Bucescauo, dated Algiers, March 13,
enclosing another from General LtertnuctenE, has bseu re-
ceived by the Minister of War. On the 6th, General Joys-
souF, after- a forced march of fourteen hours, overtook a large
column of Ouled Nayl emigrants, and cepturel an
immense hooey. " The demoralisation," says the General
"has reached the highest pitch amongst that trite, which
occupies a very large portion of the Desert of Tittery. The
blow we have just inflicted upon them must excercise a
salutary influence. Notwithstanding the offers of submis-
sion which are sent in from every quarter, I contieue to
pursue and chastise the Arabs of that part of the desert,
because it was they who invited Abd-el-Kuder to their
country, and so long supported and furnished him with the
means of invading the Tell, anti descending into the valley
of the lsser." The point where General Joussouf attacked
the Ouled Nayls is fifteen leagues to the south of Ksar
Zaccar, or about a hundred leagues from the sea coast.
Letters from Algiers, dated the 15th, state that Marshal
Buonatm, who hal been confine d t i his bed ty illness, had
received instructions from the Goverment t t re aurae hia ue
gotiations with Morocco, anti that his proposed excursion to
the west would probably be abandoned in consequence.
The Sentindle of Toulon, of the 17th, says:—
" The Russian squadron is making its preparations for
departure. It is probable that if the slightest wind succeeds
the calm of this afternoon, it will sail this evening or to--
night. In quitting our port, the Grand Duke Constantine
appears to carry away with him an exalted idea of our mari-
time power; and in this point of view, as perhaps in ether
respects, the two nations ought to congratulate themselves
-in the visit. The Prince easily allowed his sympathies
towards France to appear, and he seemed eo much the
more touched with the reception given him, that it was
stripped of all the ceremonial used on such occasions. The
officers of the fleet are animated with the same feeling.
Their voyage to France appears to have excited in them only
,ympatlietic sentiments, and all desired, so to speak, to carry
may a remembrance of the country. Surprise is felt here
at the facility with which the Russian officers speak our lan-
guage, at the manner in which they are nequaiated with our
literature, and at their appreciation of our manufectires.
The Prince gave orders that the men should be paid, and

in doing so he exhibited as much delicacy as generosity. In
handing to the Sub-Prefect a sum of 5,000 E for the poor
and the several benevolent institutions of the town, he ap-
peired to excuse himself for supposing that it was possible
to find unfortunate persons to assist, in the midst of so many
happy faces, testifying to the general comfort, ` but,' said
he, human misery ought always to have its share in our
computations.'"
M. KissE"FP, the Russian Cl:argd d'Affaires, who pro-
ceeded to Toulon to receive the Grand Duke, has retuned
to Paris,

Constantinople papers to the 6th, and Athens papers to the
9th, have been received. Everything was tranquil at Con-
stantinople. The Ministry had paid up a considerable pm,
tion of the arrears due to the troops, and were progressing in
their measures of reform.

At Athens the Minister, COLETTI, had obtained from the
Chamber a vote for a provisional credit for four months, by
a majority of 69 to 33. A motion for an address, praying
the KING to dismiss his Ministers, was lost by a similar ma-
jority. On the 6th the anniversary of Greek independence
was observed with all the usual solemnities and rejoicings.
On the 7th a curious scene took place in the Chamber. The
Deputy for Syra, M. DARAS, informed the President that he
had just been assaulted in the Chamber itself, by General
GRlztorrx. M. GE:wits said that the General intended only
to inflict a little corporal discipline upon M. DARAS, but
that he had interfered and prevented any blows being given.
M. DAnas wished to make a speech on the occasion, but the
President informed him that he could not allow him to do
so until the alThir should have been regularly inquired into.
Several of the Deputies complained of this conduct of the
President as partial, and demanded that M. DARAS should
be heard. Great confusion ensued, and eventually the sitting
broke up in most admired disorder.

A letter from St. Petersburgh, of March 25, states that a
deputation of the nobility cf Livonia has been summoned to
that city to draw up a new set of regulations between the
nobles and peasants of Livonia. Some high functionaries
have been joined to them to direct their labours.
The disturbances in Austrian Galicia still continue.
The Universal German Gazette sa3 a that the cholera had
entered Russia from Persia, and had broken out at Casan and
Orenburgh.

Madrid papers to the 15th inst. have arrived. The He-
raldo, the organ of NARVACZ, says that it is not improbable
that another change of Ministry may take place, inasmuch
as differences have arisen in the CaLinet on the subject of
General CONCHA'S treatment of the prisoners taken in the
battle with IRIARTE, at Ostdrga. MM. Mos and PIDAL
condemn CONCHA for not at once shooting the prisoners;
IsTu-
RITZ and CANECIA, on the contrary, approve of his humanity.
There have been also, it is said, differences is the Cabinet on
the question of the law of the press, and it was also rumoured
that the Presidency of the Senate had been offered to NAR-
VAEz. It is, however, to be recollected that all these ru-
mours appear only in the Herald, the organ of NARYARZ,
and that, therefore, they cannot be implicitly relied on.
Letters from Madrid, dated the 15th, treat them as entirely
unworty of credit, and state that the question of the press had
not even been mooted at the recent meetings of the Cabinet.
The ;Vatlrid Gazette, of the 15th, atates that the whole of
Galicia is tranquil, with the exception of Lugo and Santiago:
Coxclia, however, has demanded reinforcements ; and, on
the 15th, the regiment of Asturias and a company of artil-
lery bad left Madrid to join Idris. This looks as if Galicia
was not quite so tranquil as the Government represent it to
be. ' These reinforcements are to be commanded by Beige-
, dier Brasint, who is promoted to the rank of General.

arrested in the night before last, and elevel more yesterday

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—Yasimanay.
Nearly all the prices quoted on the Chester Cup are nomi-
nal, nothing, to our knowledge, having been done on Best
Bower, Weatherbit, Polish, or Corranna; the betting, in
fact, was very slack, and turned chiefly on Pedometer, Miss
Burns, Magnet, and Inheritress, and in almost every in-
stance at improving prices. Clumsy was backed at 400 to 10
in the early part of the day, and towards the close at 1,000
to 35. Corranna was friendless. A good deal of money was
hedged about Tom Tullock fur the Derby, at 5 to 1 and
9 to 2; and at one time he appeared to be an equal favourite
with Sting; subsequent offers, however, gave the latter the
call. Spithead and Tibthorpe were in some request, and
several scores and small sums were laid out on the out-
siders at the odds returned. Brocardo went back to 25 to 1,
and left off, like railway scrip, 'with a " downward tendency."

RAILWAY LEGISLATIGN.
(From the Times' City Article of yesterday.)
Sir Robert Peel's resolutions on the sub ect of railway
legislation bare been received by the most experienced and
judicious persons connected with the monetary interest with
a feeling of unmixed gratification. They not only feel that
a great weight in the shape of impending liability is removed
from the public mind, but they are also gratified at the
promptitude which the Government have displayed in at-
tending to the wishes of the money circles, as expressed by
the deputations which recently waited upon Lord Dalhousie.
The great point which was urged by those deputations, and
which is now adopted by the Government, was, that the
sciipholders should not be required to dissent from a project
to prevent it from receiving the sanction of Parliament, but
that the withholding of assent should be sufficient to stay
the progress of a scheme in the Legislature. When the mea-
sure of " relief" was propounded in its original form by
Lord Dalhousie,
,it was foreseen that by its very nature
it would fail in those effects which it was intended
to produce. The scripholders, scattered about the
country, could with difficulty assemble together to frustrate
a scheme which the directors might be anxious to advance;
while, on the other hand, where directors and shareholders
were all agreed as to the propriety of carrying out a project,
there is a centre of action in the directors, by means of which
suffrages may be easily collected. In the modified measure
embodied in the resolutions published in the Times of to-day,
this view of the case is virtually adopted, and if the scheme
works well, it will be equally impossible to carry through a
Bill without the real wish of the proprietary, and to crush an
undertaking that has the good wishes of the scripholders.
The grand principle of relief which is involved in the resolu-
tions is, necessarily, the most important consideration; but
it may be observed that the details of the measure are re-
garded as singularly well devised, and as evincing a great
knowledge of business. The provision that the scrip
to be produced at a mesting of voters must have been
actually issued, and the deposit paid on it before the 31st
of March last, is especially commended. It is notorious
that in many projects the management have retained a large
number of shares unallotted ; and it was foreseen that these
might easily be used at a meeting, so as to carry the views
of the directors in spite of the body of shareholders. By
providing that the scrip must be already issued and paid
upon, the possibility of overwhelming the assembly by a
sudden and unexpected quantity of shares is completely pre-
vented. Care must be taken not to confound these resolu-
tions with the Bill which Lord Dalhousie has promised to
bring forward, though they are both parts of one compre-
hensive scheme. The resolutions merely express the deter-
mination of the House of Commons not to proceed to the
third reading of a railway Bill without the conditions set
forth are complied with. To give the scripholders in an in-
choate company that power of winding up their affairs
which is at present confined to corporate bodies, will be the
purpose of the new Bill, and till that is passed, the whole
right of the proprietary—namely, that of preventing further
liability. and that of enforcing a return of remaining capi-
tal—will not be legally established. The " resolutions" had
a favourable effect upon the national securities. Tho Consol
market was rather better this afternoon, and the increase of
business caused prices to rally nearly a quarter per cent.,
which advance was maintained up to the close of the day.

MORTALITY OF THE . • ETROPOLIS.—Tite total number
of deaths registered in the metropolis during the week ending
April 18, 1846, is 967 ; of these 30 are deaths from violence.
The number of deaths (except from violence) during the
week, amount therefore to 939, showing an increase on the
week preceding of 107—the number of deaths from disease
in the week ending 11th April, having been 832. A great
increase has taken place in the deaths from disease of the
resriratory organs; in the last week they amounted to 318,
in the week-preceding, to 270 ordy.

COMMISSION COURT.—TnESDAY,
FINAL ACQUITTAL OF arns. scow.
Mrs. Mary John Scott, the lady who was on trial during
the entire of last week, and who was acquitted upon an RD..
dietment charging her with marrying Anthony Galway, is
1;321, her former husband, James Carter, being alive, was
this day again placed I.t the bar, and indicted for marrying:
Mr. J,ho Bindon Scott, of Cahireon, in the county of Clare,.
the same Carter being alive. This case, which is now finally-
disposed of, is perhaps one of the most extraorditAirr
bigamy cases upon record. It appeared that, in the year
1812, Mrs. Scott married a person named James Carter, irn Letterkenney, in the county of Donegal; in the year 1821.
married a Mr. Anthony Galway, Carter being then alive ;;
and in the year 1833 married Mr. Scott,. both Carter and?
Galway being alive. Shortly after the last marriage
she was indicted for marrying Scott, Galway being alive,
and was then acquitted, by proving that Carter was, in pel):(
of fact, living; and on Saturday she was again acquitted
upon an indictment charging her with marrying Galway; Carter being alive, by proving the illegality of Cartel's
marriage, it having beta celebrated by a Presbyterian
clergyman, and one of the parties being an Episcopalian;
Protestant. The case came before the Court upon an ap-
plication for a postponement of the trial until next com-
mission, on behalf of the prosecution, but it was opposed
by the traverser's counsel, on the ground that the evidence
as to religion in both cases was similar, and that a case shou'all
not be postponed to enable parties to obtain evidence which
they had years to collect. The Court was in favour of the ob-
jection, and accordingly the traverser was arraigned in the
usual form, and acquitted for the third and list time, no evi-
dence having been offered for the prosecution. The acquittal:
was grounded upon the law in the celebrated Presbyterian.
marriage case of " the Queen v. Mills," which was decided by
the House of Lords a couple of years sifice, and upon which.
the late Irish Marriage Act was passed.
THE WEATHER.
A most unfavourable change has taken place since yester-
day.' Last night the rain commenced falling in torrents, and
continued without any intermission up to post-hour this day.
It is, besides, as cold and raw as though it were the month.
of January ; and should the weather not speedily take up,
the worst consequences, as regards the prospects of the new
crops, must be apprehended. The spring has been alreadr
an unusually late one—vegetation being extremely back-
ward, and much out-work remaining unfinished. In truth,
there is no disguising the fact, present appearances seem to
justify the gloomiest prognostications of the alarmists.

POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Ann Foley, a well-dressed and good-looking girl, between
fifteen and sixteen years of age, was charged with assaulting
and seriously injuring Wm. Broom, police-constable No.
155, of the 1 division, in the execution of his duty, and at-
tempting to rescue a prisoner, charged with uttering coun-
terfeit money, from his custody.
It appeared that between six.and seven o clock on Wednes
day the complainant was on his way to the station-house in
Bow- street with the prisoner in question, a female, in his
charge, when in passing along Tottenh4m-court-road, he
was assailed by the prisoner, who clung to him, and used.
every effort to make him let go of the woman; he, how-
ever, retained his hold, and the prisoner then kicked him
repeatedly in the lower part of his person. Another con-
stable coming up at the instant, she was secured. The com-
plainant has since suffered the most acute pain, and on hit
obtaining surgical assistance, it was discovered that he had
sustained a most serious rupture.
Inspector Clements, of the E division, said, that no doubt
the prisoner was an accomplice of the other female.
Prisoner—Pm sure I'm not.
Mr. HARDWICK Why did you molest the constable ?
Prisoner—Because I thought he was ill-treating the woman;
he was holding her very roughly.
Mr. HARDWICK said he should fine the prisoner Si., or two
months' imprisonment.
The prisoner, on hearing her sentence, began crying and
screaming very violently.
WORSHIP-ST.R EE T.
Jane Dove, a scantily-attired and emaciated. look
widow, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, charged.
with having threatened to murder three of her children, Of
ages varying from 3 to 11 years.
It appeared that as a weaver named Savage was passing
through John-street, Bethnal-green, shortly before one
o'clock on Sunday morning, a little boy ran up to him in
great terror and agitation, and implored his assistance, as his
mother had armed herself with a knife, and was about to
murder all the family. He, witness, immediately applied to
police-constable Fowler, with whom he accompanied the boy-
to the house and on entering a back room, in which there
were two childre,t asleep, they found the prisoner pacing UP
and down in a state vf extreme excitement, and on commu-
nicating to her the substance of her son's statement, she
threw herself into a chair, and bursting into tears, said that it
had been her intention to destroy her childen first, and then
cut her own throat. On asking the son for the weapon his
mother had attempted to use, he handed the constable a
table-knife, together with a whetstone, on which he said the
prisoner had sharpened it just before he ran into the street.
The appearance of the place denoted the last stage of poverty
and destitution, and the only articles of furniture in the
room, besides an old deal table and a couple of broken chaises
was a wretched bed in one of the corners for the indiscrimi-
nate use of the unhappy family.
The prisoner's son, an intelligent boy, eleven years of :sige
was then examined, and stated that after putting the other
children to bed, and sharpening the knife fur some time upon
the stone, his mother suddenly started up, and declaring that
she would murder the whole of them, attempted to seize bold
of him, but he contrived to elude her grasp, and hastened
out for assistance.

The prisoner's daughter, a young married woman, here
stepped forward, and stated that her mother had obtaine f a
scanty subsistence by washing for poor families in the neigh-
bourhood, but that latterly she had been unable to obtain sill
employment, and the whole family had since been wholly
dependent on the labour of the two elder boys, who earned a
few shillings a week at paper staining. She felt satisfied
that her mother's mind had become unsettled through the
misery of her situation.
Upon being called upon for her defence, the prisoner,
who was obviously labouring under acute mental suffering,
disclaimed any deliberate design to injure her children,
and besought the magistrate to allow her to return home.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that it was certainly a very vela r
choly case, but as it was perfectly manifest that the woman 9
mind was in a state of positive derangement, and that the
lives of her children would be in jeopardy if she were set at
large, he felt it his duty to commit her to prison, where
every attention would be shown to her, and he should direct
into
their parish officers, in the mean time, to take the case 11to
their consideration, and adopt proper stops fur the protection
of the prisoner and her family.
