LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 25, 1846.

Prospects in the Upper House, with reference to the corn
measure, look more propitious at the present moment than
could reasonal)ly have been anticipated at so early a period
of the-discussion. All those insidious rumours which were
recently propagated in certain quarters, to the effect that a
soaratiOn would occur among the Liberal Peers, so as not
merely t) endanger the acceptance of the Bill intact, but to
render the ultimate triumph of the protective principles
almost a matter of certainty, have now altogether evaporated

THE ARGUMENT,

PART I.—Shows how Mr. Brunel, in 1838, persuaded the Directors
of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, assuring
them that this railway would have " no connexion with any other
of the main lines ;" and how, in 1845, he attempted to force a con-
nexion between it and the main lines, at Wolverhampton, Rugby,
Dorchester, &c.—How Mr. Brunel stated that carriages and trucks
would not pass from one railway to another, being different pro-
perties, whereas more than half a million are passing annually at the
present time.—How Mr. Brunel, in 1838, adopted the Broad Gauge,
for the express reason that the railway would be nearly level, and
have very slight curves ; and how, in after years, he applied the
Broad Gauge to Railways having the steepest gradients and the
sharpest curves.—How Mr. Bruuel said, in 1839, that " he never re-
commended the Bread Gauge for the purpose of having larger en-
gines ;" and how, in 1845, it was his boast that he was building en
gives wider and larger. How Mr. Brunel selected the Broad
Gauge because he could place the bodies of the carriages within the
wheels, and how he has always brought them outside the wheels.—
How Mr. Brunel advocates the atmospheric system, which in all
essential points is the exact converse of the Broad Gauge System.
PART ll.—Shows what Mr. Saunders thought of competition in
1844, when he was a disinterested party, and what he said about
Competition when he was an interested party.

STATE OF TRADE.

LEEDS.—The markets were dull at our Cloth-halls, both
on Saturday and Tuesday. There has been, however, more
goods delivered from the manufacturers direct to the mer-
chants than bas been the case for some time past. Fine
goods are a truffle lower in price, but the stocks are getting
lighter. Business has been dull in the warehouses generally,
but the foreign houses are operating more freely, and the
general impression now is that a fair business will be done for
the autumn.

BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, MAY 21.—There is little
improvement in demand in the wool market. This, we are
of opinion is not entirely on account of the slackness of trade
(and in this some experienced persons coincide), but from the
desire of the spinners to see what the new clip fetches in the
market, as a steady price before they venture to purchase,
except for immediate consumption.' The yarn market con-
tinues steady, and a good portion of the unemployed frames
are getting into use, but it will be some time, at present prices,
before the whole is employed. Prices in yarns are firm.
There is marked improvement in our piece market. Most
dress goods find a ready sale, and prices are rather buoyant..
Our prospects very much improve.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have not ex-
perienced the least improvement in our cloth market this
week; on the contrary, things are duller, if possible, than
ever, though the Liverpool market is still on the advance.
The position of both spinners and manufacturers is worse to-
day than it was three weeks ago by 7% per cent., which
causes, it may well be supposed, very loud and general com-
plaints. There seems to be no remedy but that of greatly
reducing the production. Yarns are pretty ready sale, but
nothing like a corresponding advance to that on the staple.
LEICESTER. More inquiries are making after worsted
goods, and several buyers. have visited our market, but with-
hold their purchases until after the Midsummer stock
taking. Yarns remain the same. A large sale or two has
been effected in wools.—Leicester Journal.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MAY 22.—The demand
for foreign wools has been more active this week, and a fair
quantity changed hands. Prices may be quoted the same as
for the last few weeks.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MAY 22.—There has been
more life in the wool trade within the last two or three
weeks, and extensive sales have been made on rather better
terms than could have been realised for some previous weeks,
and the aspect of the market may be reported firm.
London, England, 1846-05-25

AFFAIRS OF LA PLATA.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—We have received, via Rio de
Janeiro, important Monte Videan dates to the 3d of March.
General Urquiza had been compelled to retreat from the pro-
vince of Corrientes before the combined forces of Corrientes
and Paraguay, under General Paz, with loss of baggage and
horses.

Since the above was written, we have received the fol-
lowing:—
" Accounts have been received, by way of Per-
nambuco, to the 14th of March from Rio Grande,
and the 6th of March from Monte Video. At
this latter place they had received official dis-
patches from General Paz, in Entrerios, dated the
14th of February, stating that General Urquiza, with Rosas'
army, had been in front of the combined Corrientes and Pa-
raguayan army for some days; that he had succeeded in
capturing Urquiza's horses and carts ; and that the latter
was then retreating before him in disorder; and he had no
doubt his forces would be completely dispersed. The im-
pression at Monte Video was, that General Paz's army
amounted to 17.000 men—an overwhelming force for that
country; and if this be correct, he must soon dispossess
Rosas' adherents of all Entrerios, and render General Oribe's
position in the Monte Videan territory very hazardous."

The Committee met this moruh;g at twelve o'clock ; Mr. J. De-
nison in the chair.

BUCILZNGIIAVISHIRE (WRING TO
BANBURY).

After some evidence had been called corroborative of what was
put in as to traffic on the line, the promoters of the line examined
Mr. Robert Stevenson, the engineer of the line, who stated that this
project arose out of a local requisition for better accommodation to
the district through which it is intended to proceed. Several other
routes were originally proposed, but the one before Parliament, from
Trigg north west to Banbury, was fixed on as affording the best
accommodation to the whole district, and as the most favourable
for laying down a line of rail. pa.ssing,l as 1: does, along .
the bottom of a valley, through a very rough and uneven
country. Starting from Thug station, about half-a-mile from Tring,
where it forms a junction with the London and Birmingham on the
level, it passes through part of the town of Aylesbury, through the
neighbourhood of Quainton to near Winslow and Claydon, where it
Meets the Oxford and Bletchley line, and from this it passes
through Buckingham and by hrackley up to Banbury. The steepest
gradient on it would be 1 in 157. There would be two tunnels, one
near Claydon 1,100 yards .ong. and one neat Farthingho of sso yards
in length. The estimate for the whole line was 900,000?., averaging
22,50 W. per mile. The London and Birmingham Company have
leased it, guaranteeing to the promoters 4 per cent, and half the
profits. it was contemplated to carry the coals, a hich are a
great impediment on the main Birmingham line from Rugby,
by the Great Western to Banbury, and thence along this
rail, and by side rails from Tring to London, by which arrange-
ment it was expected they could be carried at a reduced price,
perhaps three farthings a ton, or less.
Mr. Stephenson added that if the traffic were great, say 700,060 or
800,000 tons annually, coal could be carried at a halfpenny a ton,
and at a speed of twelve miles, with a profit to the company ; but he
did not mean this to apply to the project before the Committee which
was rather expensive, for expense and length entered as imp dlant
elements into the calculation of charge. A line, costing 20,0001. a
mile, and running upwards of 60 miles, where also the speed he
mentioned could be adopted, he had no doubt could pass coals at a
halfpenny a ton.
The formal evidence required by the standing orders of the House
completed the case for the promoters.
Dir. COCKBURN, for the Great Western Railway, and Mr. RICKARDS,
for Lord Carrington, then severally addressed the Committee.
The room was ordered to be cleared, and parties on being re-
admitted were told that the Committee had decided that the pre-
amble of the Bill was proved.
The dames were then severally read and passed.
The Committe adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

Mr. TALBOT, on the part of the promoters, said he would detain
the Committee with but very few observations. The object of this
line was to make a communication between the London and Bir-
mingham Railway and several important towns, which were at pre-
sent destitute of any efficient communication of this nature. The
line from Oxford to Cambridge, which had been recently sanctioned
in Committee, embraced Luton, and that would render anneces.

SOUTH and MIDLANDS JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
SPECIAL MEETING.

A special meeting of the proprietors and shareholders of
the South Midlands Junction Railway took place on Saturday
in the London Tavern.
The chair was taken by Captain L. Mosse Cooper.
The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the
meeting, and submitted a Bill to the meeting for making a
railway from Poole to join the proposed Manchester and
Southampton Railway, in the parish of Collinghourne,
Devizes, in the ceunty of Wilts, with a branch therefrom.
The SECRETARY read a report to the meeting, setting forth
the advantages to be derived from the line, which truth he
said was attested by the fact that in no line where interest
on deposits had not • been guaranteed had so large
a proporti3n of the shares remained in the hands
of the first subscribers. In consequence of the delinquency
of the engineer, their plans had not been deposited in time
to meet the sessional orders of the Houses of Parliament.
The directors deemed themselves bound to join the Man-
chester and Southampton, by which project more than three-
fourths of the South-Midland scheme was carried out.
An HON. PROPRIETOR said that he would move for an in-
junction in the Court of Chancery on Monday to prevent the
further proceedings of the directors.
A scene of indescribable confusion ensued, and the meet-
ing finally determined to dissolve the Company.
It was announced that about twelve shillings and sixpence
a share was all that had been spent.
The meeting then broke up at about four o'clock.

REVIEWS Op THE ►ORE.

" The author of this singalat and talented work is a legally quali-
fied 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, eves to the most confidential friend."—Era.

The Scripholders' Committee have to announce that a Deputation
of their Body had an Interview with the Managing Directors, on the
19th instant, when specific answers were promised to a series of
questions relating to the affairs of the Company. The Answers re-
ceived are most unsatisfactory. The Directors state that they
" Cannot possibly give the amount of expenses," and that they
" Do not intend to call a Meeting under the Sessional Order, until
after the second reading," which stands for the 29th instant. It is,
therefore, of the u!most importance, that THE PETITION TO
PARLIAMENT TO STAY THE BILL, which has already received
the support of nearly Four Thousand Scripholders, should before
that day be signed by a clear majority.
Scripholders who have not Signed the Petition, ALTHOUGH
THEY MAY HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DISSENT TO THE
COMPANY, are earnestly requested to apply, without delay, to Mr.
G. D. Clark, Manager of the Scripholders' Protection-office, No. 11,

buildings in the city, and would proceed on to Yeovil with easY
gradients. There would be a branch railway from the station at
Exeter, on which there would be two short tunnels to join the Bristol

It was agreed by the Committee that, as they had traffic evidenco
for the whole line between Exeter and Salisbury, they would also
