SOUTH ESSEX.
The Committee assembled at twelve o'clock to-day, Mr. M. O'Con-
nell in the chair, when the rebutting evidence of the North Graves-
end Company against this line was taken, and occupied the greater
part of the day. The chief witness examined was Mr. Bidder, the
engineer, who deposed as to the great ingress of cattle from Norfolk
and Lincolnshire. According to this gentleman's evidence, the
traffic on the South would le would be reduced from 48,0001. to
under 30,000/. ; then: would be a saving, he allowed, of a mile and a

Ministers for the purpose of learning whether it was the inten-
tion of Government to bring in a Bill founded ou the report of
the Land Commission of Ireland.

RELIEF OF THE POOR (SCOTLAND.)
Mr. BOUVERIE wished to a.sk the Lord Advocate of Scot-
land whether a printed paper, entitled " Application for Relief,"
has been printed and circulated in Scotland, with the know-
ledge and sanction of the Board of Supervision of the poor ; if
so, whether it has been with the sanction of the Lord Advocate
or Secretary of State for the Home Department ; and, if it has
been with their knowledge and sanction, whether the appli-
cants for relief are required to answer the queries contained in
that form of application before their claim to relief is consi-
dered, or that claim allowed. There were twenty-three
queries in that paper to read over which wield occupy the
douse too long. Now according to the law of Scotland every
destitute person was entitled to relief, and he wasgiven to under-
stand that unless all these queries were filled up the
application for relief would be refused. What he wanted to
know, therefore, was, whether the circulation of that paper was
sanctioned by tile Board of Supervision, and if so, whether re-
lief was refilled unless those queries were answered.
The LORD ADVOCATE said, that with regard to the
first part of the question, he had to state, that the paper en-
titled, " Application for relief," had been printed
and circulated with the knowledge and sanction of the Board
lie understood that the queries had been printed at the desire
of some persons as a form of queries to be put to parties apply-
ing for relief. By the statute persons applying for relief were
bound to answer such questions in order that the dis-
pensers of it might be enabled to judge of the
nature of their claim ; but the parties so applying were
entitled to relief in the mean time ; he did not, however, be-
lieve that any one had been refused relief, because they were un-
able, or refused to reply to the questions. But if any one did
refuse, he might, by applying to the local judge, obtain instant
relief, that officer being empowered to grant it. The queries
were absolutely necessary, in order that the different parishes
might not be imposed upon.
The dropped orders of yesterday were then read.

YORK AND LANCASTER RAILWAY.-
The Managing Committee of this undertaking beg to inform
the ShareholdePs, that in accordance with the wishes of a majority
of the proprietary, they have determined to dissolve the Company,
and forthwith return the amount remaining in their hands, after de-
ducting the expenses incurred. As some time necessarily must elapse
before the balance divisible can be ascertained, the Committee believe
they shall be best consulting the wishes of the proprietary by an im-
mediate return of 30s. per share, and the remaining fund, at the
earliest opportunity.

Therefore, the Committee request the Scripholders to forward to
the Secretary their addresses, the number of their scrip, and the ag-
gregate number of shares, after which it is advisable that no transfer
thereof should be made.

Early intimation will then be given by the Committee of the time
and place the above amount hare mkay be received.

GROUP XXXII.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)l
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE (THING TO

BANBURY).

This line, for which Mr. Austin, Mr. Hildyard, Mr. Calvert, Mr.
Hope, and Mr. Laing were retained, is promoted by an independent
company in concert with the London and Birmingham Railway
Company. It is opposed by the Great Western Railway and by Lord
Carrington, Mr. Richards, Mr. Cripps, and other landowners, who
appeared by Mr. Talbot. Mr. Cockburn, and Sir S. Phillips.
Mr. HODS briefly opened the merits of this line. It is 40 miles
long, starting from the Tring station on the London and Birmingham
Railway, and passes through Aylesbury, Winslow, Buckingham, and
Brackley, to Banbury, accommodating a large and important agricul-
tural district with carrying power to Birmingham and Banbury on
the north, and to London on the south, for their cattle, coals, and lime.
Mr. Thomas years,' was examined in favour of the project. Ha
stated he was a land si:eward for 20,000 acres in the district through
which the line passes, avd was well acquainted with the necessities
of that country. No othk,r line offered equal accommodation for
reaching the cattle markets .in Hereford, the coal-fields in Derby, and
Stafford, and Leicestershire. He himself made 300,000 draining tiles
annually, and would make double the quantity if the coals were
cheaper.
Mr. Humphrey Humphries, tarn?er, in Buckingham, stated in evi-
dence that it would be a great adv:mtage to Buckingham, and per-
sonally considered it would be so in the conveyance of bark, fell, and
leather, for in the last article he calculated a saving of about les.
a ton on the transit of it to London.
Mr. Fraser, steward to Sir H. Verney, Whose land lies in the dis-
trict of Banbury, stated that butter sent away on Friday did not
reach London before Monday, that the timber grown in the district
could scarcely be got to a market, and the bark was sold for a very
reduced sum. He calculated that a district of ten miles square
exported annually 600 tons of butter, 9,000 fatted beasts, and 30,000
sheep, which he had no doubt would be greatly increased by facilities
of conveyance. The railway would offer great g, vantages for the
carriage of store stock, and give the farmers the opportunity them-
selves of attending the market to make their own selectiOn,
The Hon. Sydney P. Pierrepoint and the Duke of Buckingham
were examined, and corroborated the evidence which had been al-
ready given, both of them concurring in the proposed line, and giving it
their utmost support.
The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock on Monday.

count they were charged with having kept a common
gaming-room at 26, St. James's-street. During the last two
years there have been several trials and motions in the
various courts at 'Westminster relative to the recovery of
2,0004 upon two promissory notes or cheques given by Mr.
John Simeon, the son of Sir R. Simeon, Bart. The defence
has been, that these documents were given for the payment
of money lost at hazard, and that there had been cheat-
ing in the transaction. The first trial was appointed for
December, 1844, but the day preceding the defendants
consented to a judge's order for the payment of debt and
costs in fourteen days. That judge's order was subsequently
set aside upon the affidavits made by the above defendants,
wherein they stated that Mr. Simeon was under the influence
of wine upon the occasions when he played, and that he had
played with loaded dice. In these affidavits, Saunders stated
himself to have been employed as waiter to the establish.
meat, and that he had handed the loaded dice to Mr. Simeon.
The other defendants declared themselves to have been
partners in the concern with a party of the name of Davies,
who eventually had obtained possession of the notes or
cheques, and that he had refused to give them their proportion.
Upon these affidavits the present indictment was brought.
The Learned Counsel for the prosecution (Mr. BALLArr-
TINE), however, failed to give evidence as to the parish
wherein the houses were situated, and wherein the money
was alleged to have been lost and won, and also in his proof
of identifying the defendants with the houses.
Mr. CLARKSON and Mr. BODKIN, on behalf of the defen-
dants, submitted under this state of things that there was no
case to go to the jury.
The Learned JUDGE being of opinion that there was not,
directed the jury to acquit the defendants, which was accord-
ingly done.

bridge-pier, said that on Saturday evening last he saw a
skiff, in which were ten persons, drift through the bridge,
and strike one of the piles which protected the pier. The
skiff then rebounded by the force of the shock, and came
in contact with the paddle-box of the Lightning steam-boat.
Witness called to the persons in the skiff to keep their seats.

the boat upset, and they were all immersed in the water.

IMPERIAL PARL tAM EN
HOUSE OF LORDS, July 28.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'clock.
Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills,
praying their Lordships' concurrence.
CHELSEA BRIDGE AND EIVIBANKMENT'BILL.
On the motion of Lord CANNING, this Bill was read a
third time and passed.
The Earl of CLARENDON presented a petition from Mr.
Crowder, a solicitor, praying that the Glamorganshire Land
Bill be considered in the same position as if a certain non-
compliance with the standing orders had not been made.
BATHS AND WASHHOUSES BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Joshua and
Thomas Watts, the proprietors of the swimming bath., in the
Peerless Pool, City-road, against the Baths and Washhouses
Bill.

Messengt'rs from the Commons brought up several Bills,
praying their Lordships' concurrence.
The Earl of RADNOR said he thought that the Nob:e and
Learned Lord should have inquired into the circumstances of
tl e case on the bringing up of the Bill yesterday.
Lord BROUGHAM explained.
The Bishop of LONDON said he had proved, as fir as it
could be proved, that there was a probability of the money
on the loan being repaid. When his Noble and Learned Friend
looked irto the Bill, though he might think this or that provi-
sion of the Bill might require modification, he would not throw
the weight of his powerful talent• into the scale against the Bill.
After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM,
The Marquis of L ANSDOW NE said the Bill was not be.
fore the House, and when it was, they would avail them-
selves of any suggestions that might conduce towards the ob-
jec► of this Bill.
Earl GREY thought it was premature to discuss this ques-
tion at present.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally.quall-
fled medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by Its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, evea to the most confidential friend."—Era.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

GROUP LXX.
This Committee met again this morning at twelye o'clock, Sir
George Clark in the chair. Thera were also present all the other
members of the Committee, viz., Colonel Peel, lion. Captain Car-
negie, lion. Mr. Smythe, and Mr. Tower,
DUBLIN 'IND SANDYMOUNT ILTIVLOS-
PIK ERIC.
The case having been resumed,
Mr. Sierra, after some discussion, stated that the opposition on the
Part of the Grand Canal Company had been withdrawn, the pro-
moters having agreed to pay that company the sum of 1,5001. as
compensation for the injuries which the construction of this line
might inflict on their property.
Mr. MALLET then said that there was no further opposition to the
Bill, and the Committee ware now in a position to declare the pre-
amble of the Bill proved.
The CHAIRMAN said that he did not think they were ; the objection
which had been raised by Mr. Murphy as to this Bill, proposing to
give land to this company which had already been granted this ses-
sion to the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, Company had not been
rem Oved•
Mr. MALLEY thought that that objection might be easily got over,
as fliture legislation could of course repeal a previously made law.
The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that the House could not, in the
same session, repeal any part of a Bill that had received the royal
assent.
The CHAIRMAN then asked whether !li3 consent of the Xloaril of
