GROUP VIII.

This Committee resumed its sittings this morning at eleven o'clock,
in Room No. 12 ; present, Mr. Benjamin Hawes On the chair), Mr.
Eutwisle, Captain Vyse, Colonel Paget, and Mr. Beresford Hope.

EDINBURGH AND PEEBLES.

Mr. nom the agent of the promoters of this Bill, informed the
Ccnntaittee that there was only one petition against it, and that Mr.
Inglis, of Logan Bank, the petitioner, had withdrawn his opposition.
He had therefore to request that the Committee would allow this Bill
to be referred to Mr. Greene up stairs.
Mr. Inglis having corroborated Mr. Hope's statement,
The Cuatamarf, after a consultation with the other Hon. Members
of the Committee, asked whether there was any intention of the pro-
moters to amalgamate with the North British?
Mr. HOPE replied in the affirmative.
The CHAIRMAN—Then we shall decline referring the Bill to Mr.
Greene for the present.
The CHAIRMAN then informed Mr. Paten, that as there was no
House yesterday, it was impossible for him to obtain warrants to
compel the attendance of the two witnesses mentioned in our edition
of yesterday. With regard to the Hon. Member for Berwick, he
had no doubt he would be in attendance this morning.
Mr. PATON said, as the House would sit at twelve o'clock to-day,
he hoped the Hon. Chairman would obtain warrants before it ad-
journed.
The CHAIRMAN said he would shortly adjourn the Committee for
a few minutes to obtain the warrants.

Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS, on the part of the witnesses, said that they
would attend as soon as they were aware of the warrants having
been issued. They were, in fact, in the room at that moment, and
the reason why they did not wish to volunteer their evidence was,
that they filled confidential situations for a competing company.

WITH BRANCHES THEREFROM)

This Bill was also before the Committee yesterday. The consi
deration was resumed this day, and additional evidence adduced 01
the part of the promoters and opponents, but of a very unimportan
character.

Sub-Committee No. 3,

The Committee met to-day in room No. 3, at twelve o'clock, when
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Aglienby) stated that they had considered the
point reserved yesterday in respect to the
YARMOUTH EXTENSION.

In that case, it had appeared to the Committee that the Bill com-
prehended other objects than those s:t forth in the petition, and that
this was not in accordance with the intentions of the House in pass-
ing the standing order which requires that the Bill should be attached
to the petition. The object of this order seemed to he, that there
shoad be secured the greatest possible conformity between the two.
However, upon examining the Bill and petition in this case, the
Committee were of opinion that the difference was not such as
altogether to contravene the order. At the same time, It
was not to be inferred from this that any laxity in

making the Bill conform with the petition would be permitted.

The Committee then took the
NORFOLK RAILWAY EXTENSION (THETFORD AND REED.
HAM BRANCH).

The object of this Bill is to connect Thetford and Reedham with
the main Norfolk lines. The length of the branch is forty-eight
miles, and the estimated cost 360,5361. The engineers are Messrs.
Bidder and Stephenson ; the agents, Messrs. Burke and Co.; the so-
licitors, Messrs. Parker and Co.

Sub-Committee No. 4.
The Committee met at about a quarter past twelve, Sir W. Heath-
cote in the chair ; present also, Mr. H. Johnstone, Mr. Shirley, and
Mr. Legh.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP VI.

SCOTCH CHNTRAZ (CRIEFF BRANCH).

The Committee met again this day at one o'clock, in the Court of
Queen's Bench, Sir John Hobhouse, chairman.
Mr. PICKERING appeared for the promoters of the line. The
Learned Counsel said that the line was about 9% miles, and
the capital 160,0001. It was promoted by the Scottish Central
Railway Company for the purpose of carrying their line of railway
on to Crieff. The property through which it would ran belonged to
Lord Strathallan and Lord Willoughby, both being in favour of the
scheme. There was no opposition whatever, in consequence of a
clause having been agreed on for the purpose of avoiding the pro-
perty of a gentleman named Spears, and, consequently, he trusted
the Committee would declare the preamble of the Bill proved.
The Committee then decided that the preamble of the Bill was
proved, and the clauses having been gone through, the Committee
said they would report the Bill as passed.
The Committee said, that in consequence of the other Bills of the
groups not being ready to proceed, they would adjourn to the 27th of
April.

TO THE SHAREHODERS.

An agreement to amalgamate having been entered into between the
directors of this Company, and the "LANCASHIRE AND NORTH
YORKSHIRE RAILWAY" Company, and the line of the latter Com-
pany being the one adopted, I would suggest to you that we ought to
be immediately called together to decide Nihether it would aot
ativisao;e n the present state of monetary matters that we should
abandon our scneula altagetker., and have our deposits returned,
deducting the expenses incurred, especially as the capitals of both
companies cannot be required to make one line.

LITERATURE.

The PUIVJAUB, being a brie Account of Country

of the Seikhs; BiLieutenant • Colonci Steinbach.
This is a second edition of the work published last
year, bringing down the history to the present time, and
including a narrative of the recent campaign of the
Sutlej. Great events have occurred during the brief
space, but even these will not strike the reader more
than the history of the changes that had taken place in
the Government since the death of Runjeet Singh, in
1839. It exhibits but one continued scene of murder
and usurpation. The Old Lion was succeeded by his son,
Kurruek Singh, who was soon deposed by his own son,
Noo-Nehal, and afterwards died of poison. Noo-Nehal,
in returning from his father's funeral, mounted on an
elephant, met with a fatal accident, believed to have
been the work of assassins : the elephant on which ho
rode, i passing through the gates of the palace, pushed
against the brick-work, when the whole came down
and, fracturing the skull 9f the Maharaja, he
expired in a few hours. Shore Singh, a twin son of
Runjeet by his wife 21ebtab, after bombarding
Lahore, succeeded to the throne, and shortly after
murdered the mother of Noo-Nehal, who had, opposed
him, and for some months acted as regent. The army
rose against Shere, compelled him to dismiss all the
European officers, and finally became reconciled to his
Government; but other enemies sprung up, who soon
cut off his head, to make room for Beera Singh, who
met the same fate. More murders and usurpations fol-
lowed, till the nation acknowledged the present Maharaja
Dhuleep Singh, a youth of ten years of age, and reputed
son of Runjeet, who is under the tutelage of his mother,
called the Ranee. The work contains besides a brief
account of the climate, the military forces, the state of
manufactures, the origin of the Seikhs, and other par-
ticulars, which are far too much compressed. Lieut.-
Colonel Steinbach had serred ten years in the Seikh
army, and must have had many opportunities of obtain-
ing information, which we regret has been so sparingly
communicated. That would have ben much more
acceptable to the reader than copies of the late dis-
patches, which arc to be seen in any newspaper.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED. --The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
Introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late HILTON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent proceies of Messrs. El-
kington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very byst article, next
to sterling silver, that can he employed it 4 such either usefully ur onta-
enentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma
terial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.

to remove the old pier that tends to direct it there; hat'
the doing so would leave no place of shelter to the few
small vessels trading to that port.
The present small steamers employed to convey the
mails cannot get in or out ot' Pot tpatrick at low water,
there being only three fret water over the bar leading to
their berths. In spring tides they lie aground, even in
their bet th, at low water. This circumstance nut only
pr-vents any regularity in the arrival or departure of the
mile, but would render any attempt at acceleration by
railroad useless. During westerly and south-westerly
gales. even steamers cannot enter or depart from Port-
patrick without imminent risk of life. On entering, if
it be low water, they must run aground on the bar,
and lie exposed to the sea ; if there be water over the
bar, they must depend on catching the check ropes,
wtan passing Mr. Cook's Craig ; for, if they miss
them, they run the risk of being knocked to pieces
against the cliff. On departing, there is so little room
to get way on the vessel, that if she he struck with two
following seas at the entrance, she would, in all proba-
bility, lose her way, and fall off with her head towards
the pier or rocks, rendering it impossible to give her
either head or stern .way with the engines ; so that she
_must either be dashed against the piers, or driven into
'he harbour, against Mr. Cook's Craig, there being no
room to turn her, either by dropping her anchor or the
use of sails or engine. 4. Should any accident occur to
the engines, oa the first shock they receive in going out

TUE HAGUE, APRIL I.—• The Government hag just
sent to the Second Chamber of the States Genera) its
answer to the observations made in the Provisional re-
port, on the project of law relative to the conditional
augmentations of the imports and export duties of vari-
•us articles.' We see in this document, that the Govern-
ment has observed with satisfaction, that the SecOnd
Chamber had found in the circumstances in which the
Netherlands are now placed with respect to Belgium
sufficient motives to assent to the proposals which had
been made to the legislature.
The Government, on its part, sees no difficulty in
yielding to the desire expressed by the majority of the
Chamber to remove from the project of law, the gene-
ral tendency which had been given it, to render it ap-
plicable to Belgium alone.
We have received, by way of Sincapore, accounts
from Batavia of the Ist of February, they inform us
that in consequence of the failure of the potato crop
in Holland, orders have been given to export a large
quantity of rice. Ships laden with colonial produce for
the Government were authorised to take one-third of
their cargo in rice, other Dutch ships, which desired to
take in rice, were admitted for that purpose, into the
smaller ports, where there are no Custom-houses, and
the duty on exportation is excused. With respect
to the robbery in Riouw, which we mentioned in our
number of the 28th of February, we learn from
the official account, published by the Government at
Batavia, that a band of about fifty Chinese, forcibly
entered the house of William Koek, an English mer-
chant, settled at Riouw, in the night of the 11th of
December, and having secured the inmates, began to
plunder the house, &c. Mr. Leisk, an English seaman,
who resided with Mr. Koek at the thee, succeeded in
making his escape, sad giving an alarm, which made
the Chinese hastily take flight. The patrole which
came up was not, however, strong enough to capture
any of the thieves in their flight. The inmates of the
house escaped with some slight ill-usage, the value Of
the property stolen is estimated at 1,070 thrins. This
crime is attributed to plots among the Chinese at Sinca-
pore, who have extensive connexions, and are much
feared by their countrymen, to which it may be as-
cribed that no discovery has been made of the robbers,
though a reward of 1,000 florins has been offered.
It is in contemplation at Timor. ke pan.; to establish
a depot of coals, for the use of steam-boats between
Sincapore and the Dutch coast of Australia.
TEE HAGUE, APRIL 2.—The First Chamber of the
States General, in its sitting yesterday gave its assent
to three projects of law :-
1. That for regulating the excise on sugar.
2. That for making an extraordinary grant to the
Benevolent Society.
3. That for transferring to the budget for 1846, cer-
tain sums granted for 1845 for the Mint.

THE ALMANAC OF THE MONTH. Edited by
_ .

G. A. A'Beckett.

This pleasant record of the fun and follies of the
month still continues its career with unabated spirit.
The following hit at the dwarf mania is not bad :
" A Harr TO PLAYGOEIII9.—As there seems to be a taste
recently sprung up among the public for seeing dwarfs on
the stage, we beg to offer a suggestion by which people may
experience this gratification at any of the metropolitan
theatres :—By reversing the opera-glass, and looking through
the wrong end of it, all the performers at Drury-lane, the
Haymarket, or the Adelphi, will appear as diminutive as the
most enthusiastic admirer of littleness could possibly desire.'

This branch was then proceeded with.
Mr. Brune, who was examined by Mr. TALBOT, said its length
Would be 2 miles and 47 chains, and the estimate 50,000/. The
works were very light, nearly the whole of the line being on the sur-
face of the grotuni. There was a short curve at the junction with

WYCOMBE BRANCB.

Mr. TALBOT then proceeded to state the course of this
branch, which is proposed to be constructed from the Great
Western Railway, at Maidenhead to Wycombe, at an ex-
pense of 134,6331. It would be nine miles, five furlongs, and
seven chains in length, and would pass through the
towns of Woburn and Cookhana,- would be three miles
from Great Marlow, two-and-a-half miles from Beaconsfield,
six miles from Monks Risborough, eight miles from
Princes Risborough, and seven from Amersham. The
town of High Wycombe was situated on the old coach road
between London and Oxford, and before the opening of the
Great Western Railway possessed a considerable traffic in
coaches, waggons, and posting, the loss of which had caused
serious injury to its trade and market, and great depreciation
in the value of property. The manufacture of paper and
chairs, and a trade in corn, grain, and flour, have been
carried on in the town to a considerable extent, the
stream. upon which it is situate turning thirty-
one mills in the immediate neighbourhood, of which
nineteen are paper mills, and the remainder corn mills.
These trades have necessarily suffered from the like cause,
the manufacturers being unable to compete with their rivals
at other places, who possess the advantages of railway corn -
munication, and are unable to undersell them in the London
market. For want of the means of transit, the corn
mills are only worked to half their power, al-
though the district affords abundant

the vicinity of the line, would offer the same or betterin
com-
munication than the London and Oxford, and at a trifling
expense compared to it. He therefore trusted that he had
made out a good case in its support.
ThS Committee then adjourned until Monday.

thank Heaven, and nothing gave him greater pleasure
than the recognition of the principle on the judicial
bench that those who held out their names to lure the
public to purchase should be personally responsible for
the result.
The magistrates reserved their decision on Mr. Wire's
objection. and proceeded to receive the evidence.
Mr. Thomas Reynolds, the high constable of the
Tower Hamlets, proved that he was a subscriber. He
wrote for fifty shares, received forty, and obtained the
scrip on signing the subscribers' agreement and parlia-
mentary deed.
Mr. James Matthews, of Bexley Heath, applied for
and received 200 shares as a provisional committee man,
but had not paid anything for them.
Mr. Wire said it was such conduct as Mr. Mat-
thews's that had brought the concern to its present state.
Several other persons proved that they had been sub-
scribers. No list of subscribers had been filed, but Mr.
Barber's acceptance of the office of solicitor to the com-
pany was registered.
Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Sir Peter Laurie consulted,
and deferred giving judgment for a fortnight.
The second complaint was against Mr. Barber, as so-
licitor to the Company, for neglecting to register the
form of the letter of allotment.
Mr. Wire said the Bth requisition of the 4th clause
was, that a copy of every circular should be filed that
was addressed to the public, or to the subscribers, as
to the formation or modification of the Company. The
form of letter of allotment did not answer that descrip-
tion. It was not addressed to the public, and no per-
son was a subscriber till he had paid his deposit.
The magistrates postponed their decision on this case.
The third complaint was against Mr. T. R. Kemp, for
acting as a director, he not holding at least one share in
the company.
Mr. Wire submitted that this was substantially the
same complaint as had been dismissed last week, and a
new fiat ought to be produced to show that the Attor •
ney General sanctioned the proceedings.
Mr. Jones said the defendants had committed from
twenty to thirty offences, and the fiat was intended to
cover the whole proceeding.
Mr. Alderman Gxnns called for Mr. Kemp's written
consent to become a promoter, registered on the 15th of
October. This also contained an agreement to take one
or more shares.
Sir PETER LAURIE said the principle of the last de-
cision must be applied to this. Here was an engagement
to take a share entered into before he acted as a
director, and at the time he became a promoter. He
was, in effect, a shareholder, and saddled with all the
liabilities of one, as he ought to be.
Alderman GIBBS said he should concur in that deci-
sion, and they dismissed the complaint.
The magistrates stated that, pending the considera-
tion of the reserved points, no new information would
be received.
