adoption of the prop,,,sed refirA) wonll, in his opinion, greatly
add to the consideration of the Chamber.

M. Heb2rt, the reporter of the committee, next rose, and
said that the honour and independence of the Chamber were
as dear to him as they were to his political adversaries, and
if he saw in the proposition a means of strengthening them,
he would not hesitate to grant his adhesion. • Bat he thought
the reforms suggested by M. Remusat would not remedy the
evil, if any existed; that they would prevent any good blet
inn done, substitute for the common law a law of categories.
01 reduce still more the number of the eligible, already so
limited. Remext proceeded to vindicate the public func-
tionaries and the Deputies belonging to the King's house-
hold against the imputation of servility, and strongly urged
the Chamber to reject the proposition.
. M. Durand de Romorantin afterwards spoke amidst the
noise of private conversation, and was succeeded by
M. de Remusat, who said that, having already developed
his proposition in three cons:Tutive he would con-
fine himsAf to ob3erve that no reply had been made to the
remarkable speech delivered on the preceding dee, by his
fiend M. Teiers.

• The general discussicn having been closed, M. Duchatel
rose and moved, in the name of the Cabinet, that the Cham-
ber should not pass to the discussion of the articles. The
President was preparing to put th, question to the vote, when
a number of 'Members having called for a ballot, the opera-
tion commenced, and gave the following results
umber of voters ... 416
Absolute majority ... ... ... 209
For the discussion ... 184
Against it 232
Majority against the proposition - 48
The proposition was accordingly rejected.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP IX.
CrILISGOW nAnnoun MINEVAL

TEFLMMUG.
(Continued from cur Afternoon Edition.)
Sir. Andrew comptroller of customs, Glasgow, gave evi-
elence as to the crowded state of the harbour. He had been in the
effice since 1342. To show the increase of the trade in the harbour,
he might state that the cestome, in 1812, were 3.1221.; in 1543,
389,0001. Ile objected to the rails running along the quays, and was
at opinion that the laying of these down would so increase the mi-
neral traffic: as to block up tjee harbour. Ile considered the Harbour
2il neral much better for the purposes of the mineral traffic than the
-ether two lines.
In cross examination the witness admitted lie 11W-been a director
e 5 the Grand Junction scheme, and attended sonic meetings, but that,
lie intimated, was before the Harbour Mineral came on, aed ere he
Ituew the merits of the two schemes.
Mr. SPLeod, shipbroker, generally corroborated the evidence of
the previous witnesses as to the superiority of the Harbour Mineral
scheme over the other two, in separating the mineral from the general
traffic.
Sir. Williamson, mining engineer, examined—Said he knew the
-coal fields of the west of Scotland well-Ayrshire,
.Lanarkshire, and
lienfrewshire. On the east side of Glasgow there were eighty-threw
iron furnaces seventy-six of them in blast—fourteen new of were
-proposed. A great number of new coal works were also opening up.
West of Glasgow there were fifteen furnaces, ten of them in blast—
twenty-nine new ones were proposed. He estimated the traffic in
minerals, on the 'Mineral Harbour line, to he 400,00 tolls yearly,
:which woald yield 5,0001. He calculated that would be realised
from coal and lime. He preferred the Harbour Mineral to the
other two.
Ceoss-examined by Mr. HOPE, on behalf of the General Terininus
which
Tile new iron works hi Ayrshire were opening up in districts, 1
to some extent would be accommodated by the Ayrshire ports ;
:still, a considerable poution would conic to Glasgow.
Mr. Bald, civil engineer, was called and examined by
Mr. MON-
InLITII.—Ha had had extensive engineering practice 111 Mines
ant harbours, al well as in the making of railways. He
had been employed in *several mines in Ireleovi, and
recently by the French Government on the river Seine, at Havre. He
had also been engineer fur the River Trust from 1839 to 1343, six
years in all. Ills estimate of the present scheme was 101,2681., of
which the basin would cost 42,985/. The land in this estimate was
set down at e 5,0001., but it had since been contracted for at 19,542/. ;
so that this weuld make a considerable deduction. There were no
,engineering difficulties. The severest gradient was 1 in 64, a descend-
ing one ; and the other lin 312. There were but two. The curves
'were but Might, the heaviest was ons of a radius of 1 furlong 2 chains.
Ste generally agreed with Captain Washington as to the objection
to laying' down rails along the quays. The tidal harbour lie pro•
weed would accommodate, well packed together, about from 8.000
yo 10,003 tons of shipping. The area is three and a third acres, with
at frontage of 16,000 feet. The basin will be quite sufficient for all
Klee mineral t7affic at present in the liar:sour, and it could sadly be
.enlarged if required.
The cross-examination of the witnesses was then taken up, and
ersel not finished when the Ceintnittee. rose. The only point elicited
watt, that at high water large ships could not ship coals in the basin,
but ships of from 130 to 200 tons could. _

Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS euggested to the Chairman that he should
-give notice to-night to move en Monday next, for leave to the Grand
Junction Harbour Bill to proceed in Committee. This arose from a
standing order of the House, which required that seven days' notice
should be given before proceeding in Committee. The notice had
been given, but it eras before the second reading, and held to be in-
valid. A second notice, to make sure, had been given since the
second reading*, but the seven days' notice would not terminate tilt
next Thursday, whereas, by obtaining leave to proceed, they could
cuter en that Bill on Tuesday morning.
No objection was offered to this ceorse, and the Chairman said he
would give the required notice of motion.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday, at Twelve o'clock.
In the course of the day, at the request .i Mr. Talbot, the Chair-
man said ho would apply to the Admiralty for the report of Mr.
'Walker rc specting the Harbour Mineral scheme, in order to place the
Committee in possession of the information it contained.

-
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
The next allegation was, that the baundary line of the parish of
Mary St. Cuthbert, Thetford, was omitted on the same plans, which
was sustained.
It was alleged that there was a similar omission with respect to
Me boundary between the parish.s of St. Peter Thetford and St.
31ary, which was not sustained.
The next class of allegations was, that there were inaceurae:es in
describing the owners, lessees, S:e., of divers properties along the
line.
•

In the following instance this allegation was sustained, viz., the
property marked 8, 10, 13, 14, in the parish of Ackton.
The next class of allegalion3 slated that there were various iliac-
. _ .

curacics in the plans am! sections, with respect to vertical height,
levels, and other engineering points.
The first instance adduced was at the Herd mile first furlong of the
Stowniarket Branch, in wh!ch it was stated that there was all error
of titres feet.

Two witnesses were examined in support of this particular allega.
tion, but the Committee decided that it was not sustained.
There was a similar allegation with respect to the sth mile, 411

ftniong, and sth chain, on the same branch.
A great deal of evidence NYA.3 adduced to show that the mode
adopted by the surveyors employed by the petitioners of checking the
levels, mvneiy, the two parties checking going together twice, would
ha likely to arrive at more correct results than when they went
separately.
Several witnes3es were examined to negative the same, -and the
Committee found that the allegation was not sustained.
The Committee theta adjourned till lienday.

Sub•Comuzittea No. 4.
LONDON AN WINDSOR.
(Contirmeci from our Afternoon Edition.)

The evidence of Mr. Thompson was confirmed by two other
engineers from the °faces of that gentleman and Sir John M`Ncill.

NUL". AND ZINCOLN.

The object of this Bill i 3 to construct a railroad from Barton-on-
Humber to Lincoln. The length of the line is 36 miles ; the esti-
mated cost, 350,0001. The engineer Is Mr. S. Birkenshaw ; agents
Messrs. Balmer and Bamford ; the solicitor, Mr. Ayre,of Hull.
Mr. PARKES appeared in support of a petition from Mr. Galusford,
a proprietor, within the limits of deviation.
The th"st allegation, that the plans and sections deposited at the
various offices required were not copies a each other, was sustained.
Other allegations of the same nature were also sustained.
Mr. DURNFORD, on the part of the promoters, applied to the Com-
mittee to adjourn the case, in order that he might he able to produce
Mr. Birkenshaw, the engineer, who could explain the discrepancies.

Ttic UttAIRMAN cahl that thera was Ito Question raised by those on,
gatlons wlfich an engineer could explain. The Committee coal
judge by their own eyes of the discrepancy between the plans and
sections deposited with the Board of Trade and those deposited with
the Clerks of the Peace of the City of Lincoln and of Lincolnshire.
Other similar allegations were then gone into and sustained.
Standing orders not complied with.
The Committee then adjourned at a quarter to five o'clock.

Sub•Committe No. 5.

ItzrznuvrcmA2a AND oxrer_D /UNCTION,
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)

Two or three minute discrepancies in the plans were explained by
Mr. Brunel as being occasioned by shrinking of the paper.
An allegation as to en inaccuracy In the mileage— a distance de-
scribed as one mile being, according to the scale, much more than a,
mile —was declared to prayed.
It was next alleged that a field belonging to a Mr. Wyse, and ad-
joining one marked No. 1, also Lis property, was not numbered in
the plan.
It was represented by the promoters of the Bill that this field and
that marked No. 1 were in fact the same, and that a brook said by
the petitioner to be the boundary, was in fact no boundary at
The figure " 1" was intended to apply to the whole field.
A witness was called to prove that the brook served as a boundary,
and prevented the cattle from passing into one field from the other.
He knew the owner to be the same, but had " an impression" that
there were two o,cupiera.
Mr. BURKE said it was clear that the field in question was num-
bered, but might be numbered improperly, being numbered as one.
The Committee, however, confirmed the allegation, and declared
the standing orders not complied with.
The next point raised was one as to the omission of a certain house
front the book of reference. A witness was called to prove the exist-
ence of a house which he saw in January last, but it was then un-
tSnishcd, an 1 he admitted on cress-examination that It might have
keen begun after the 30th of November. The allegation fell to the

ground.
ievo-al other allegations were then read and disposed of, the
standing order 3 being declared not complied with in more than one

instance,

At four o'clock the Speaker bel2g announced at prayers, the Com-
mittee adjourned to Titerday next.

The formal prooiS were given. In the case of one notice, it was
found that it had not boon served till coo hour and a.half utter the
time ; ILo erzumstances eppeared to justify the ncai•compltauce, but

130 W-STREET.-(TH IS DAY.)
A cal:- dr:ver,' named Jo h% Erqns, appeared before Mr.
Jardine to an3wer a ~o.mncns charging him with creating an
ob,tructiou in Wellington-street North, on Saturday night,
at half past eig:it o'clock.
The charge was originally made on Monday morning,
the pi isoner having been taken in custody on Saturday when
the off,nce was committed. The prisoner's attorney
then argued that the policeman bad no right to
take the p,iyner in charge, and that be ought to
have Summoned him, but Mr. Jardine said that the
policeman was perfectly justified in doing so, as the prisoner
persisted in his misconduct, and he, the policeman, could not
suffer the obstruction to continue.

The attorney ;aid that he could bring forward several
witnesses if time was given, and he hoped I.llr. Jardine would
remand the prisoner.
Mr. JARDINE said that if he did, the prisoner must remain
in custody.
The attorney offered bail, but
Mr. JARDINE said he would discharge the prisoner for the
rrelent, and the policeman could summon the prisoner, by
übich means flute would be given fur the latter to produce
his wi.nesses. A sumraoos was therefore taken out for this
