ELECTIONEERING PROSPECTS AT WINDSOR.—As soon
as the papers arrived at Windsor yesterday morning, con-
taining the intelligence of the defeat of Sir Robert Peel's Ad-
ministration, by a majority of 73 in the Commons, consider-
able excitement was created amongst the leading men of
both parties in the town. It was intimated in the course of
the afternoon, that in the event of a general election, both
the present Members, Colonel Reid and Mr. Ralph Neville,
intend again to offer themselves. Even at this early period
the names of two or three Liberals have been mentioned as
likely to offer themselves.
A helmet, similar to that worn by the Prussian
army, is to be adopted by the British army, in place of the
late chlico, which is uniyereally disliked.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room A.
CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD.
IMPORTANT DECISION.

Their Lordships met, pursuant to adjournment, at half-
past eleven: o'clock this morning, Lord Mornington in the
chair.

They immediately gave their decision that the preamble
of the Bill was not proved.
Mr. ()LARK, on the part of the promoters, suggested that
the line from Hitchin to Cambridge might be passed.
The Committee cleared the room, in order to consider this
suggestion, and on our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had de-
termined to pass the 13 miles of the line from Hitchin to
Royston, which they thought would give accommodation to
a populous manufacturing and agricultural district, and
would be something to start from in making a more complete
communication through the country accommodated.
Their Lordships then rose finally, it being half-past twelve
o'clock.

This was the only Committee sitting in the Lords to-day.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP 11.

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of
the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual
hour this morning; Lord Morpeth in the chair.

TAW VALE EXTENSION.

Mr. TALBOT commenced the business of the day by ad-
dressing the Committee on behalf of the opponents of the
Bill. The tenor of his speech may be stated in two or three
words. If the Committee, he said, threw out the pre-
sent scheme, it would give time to the Great
Western Company to mature a large and more
comprehensive scheme, and one which would afford
double the amount of accommodation to this district to
that of the Taw Vale line. The " larger and more compre-
hensive scheme," it would appear, will be equal in extent
to the existing Great Western line, and will consist of the
revival of an extended North Devon Railway. The
" larger and more comprehensive scheme " is proposed
to be commenced at Taunton, on the Bristol and Exeter
line, to proceed thence to Barnstaple, and to run from Barn-
staple by a circuitous route to Crediton. Half way between
Barnstaple and Crediton an extension will strike off, and
proceed direct through Oakhampton, Dartmoor, and Tavistock
to Plymouth, there joining the lines running through Corn-
wall. This scheme is supported by the principal landowners and
traders of the district, including Earl Fortescue, and the
Learned Counsel contended that, as the proposed Taw Yale
line, as compared with " the larger and more comprehensive
North Devon scheme," would only save a distance of
eight miles between Crediton and Barnstaple, it would
neither be prudent nor conducive to the public interest
to annihilate the Great North Devon by prematurely sanction-
ing the trifling Taw Vale line—the one the substance, the
other only the shadow of a railway.
Mr. Cocxsunx was about to address the Committee in
reply, but he was interrupted by
The CHAIRMAN, who said he believed there would
be no necessity for putting Mr. Cockburn to the
trouble of making a long address, the Committee being
unanimously of opinion that the preamble to the Bill for
making the Taw Vale line had been proved. He accom-
panied that announcement with the remark that the Com-
mittee had arrived at that conclusion upon the merits of
the scheme as a local and independent line, and without
meaning to express any opinion adverse to the North Devon
project.
Mr. TALBOT said, of course the line would be upon the
broad gauge.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that he understood it was to be so.
Mr. COCKBURN said it would depend upon circumstances
whether the line would be upon the broad or narrow gauge.
If the traffic continued hereafter to go by the Bristol and
Exeter, it would be made upon the narrow, but if the narrow
gauge line-by way of Yeovil were sanctioned by the Lords,
and the traffic took that direction, then the line would be
upon the narrow gauge.
It was ultimately arranged to leave the matter to be settled
by the Board of Trade.
The clauses were then agreed to, and the labours of the
Committee closed.
