HAWICE. lIRANCHES.

This was another petition of the North British Railway,
Company, for leave to bring in a Bill to make a number of
branches from their Ilawick line, the estimated cost of which
was 770,0001._

The Committee took an objection to the plans, inasmuch
as they did not correspond with the petition for the Bill. 13y
the petition the Company sought for powers to make a branch
from Torwood Lee to Selkirk, while the plans deposited were
for a branch from a place called Rink to Selkirk.
Mr. Miller, the engineer of the line, explained that so
much of the branch as lay between Torwood Lee and Rink
bad already been sanctioned by the Legislature, and, there-
fore, it was abandoned in the present instance.
The Committee complained that this discrepancy between
the petition and the plans was calculated to mislead the
public, and they trusted that in future the promoters of Bills
would make the titles of their lines in their petitions and
plans correspond. The decision of the Committee in this
case was the same as that in the last.
CARLISLE EXTENSIONS.

This was another petition of the North British Railway
o..npany, for leave to bring in a Bill to construct their Car-
lisle Extensions, the estimated cost of which was 660,0001.
The customary formal proofs having been gone through, the
Committee informed the parties that their decision in the
former case would apply_to this also.

These were the thYeeThills included in the joint subscrip-
tion contract alluded to in the first case. The aggregate
amount which the parties to this instrument bound them-
selves for was 1,274,6871., and the question whether this deed
could apply to three Bills was left for decision of the Com-
mittee above, or the Committee on Public Petitions.

COUNT Y REGISTRATION.
The Chairman of the Anti-Corn-Law League having offi-
cially announced that it is the intention of the Council strictly to
adhere to the resolution of not interfering further with the registra-
tion of County Voters, hut at the same time strongly recommending

that an appeal should be made to the Liberal and Free Trade party
to mature and defend the claims of voters made through their ex-
ertions; arrangements have been made for continuing the London
County Registration Offices; and as funds will be required to defray
the necessary expenses, it is hoped that all Liberals and Free Tra-
ders will aid the committee by, a subscription to the fund. As it is
found that all the votes obtained through the agency of the Anti-
Corn-Law League are objected to, it is desirable that this appeal
should be promptly responded to.
, Subscriptions may be paid at the offices, or at the Bankers,
Messrs. Drewett and Fowler, Princes-street, Bank, to be placed to the
account of " The Liberal and Free Trade County Registration Fund."
By order of the Committee, W. 11. JAMES.

CERTIFICATE.

" In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niel!, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta•
blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against
argaud burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
Nn. 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner."
T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist,
J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1846.

As a testimony that the alleviation of the miseries
of Ireland is not incompatible with the legislative
Act of Union, we may direct attention to the Parlia-
mentary business with which the present memorable
session is drawing to a conclusion. The whole
capacities of the Legislature appear to be concen-
trated upon the amelioration of the distresses with
which the inhabitants of that island are threatened ;
the whole zeal of the Administration seems to be
evoked by the exigencies which are there apparent.
Various measures have been concocted and
passed -through" the different ordeals necessary
CO Sidle aitin to come lute operation.

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—A public meeting of the
friends of this Association was held yesterday, in the large
room, Exeter Hall, every portion of which was completely
full. The Chevalier Bunsen, the Hon. and Rev. Baptist W.
Noel, Rev. Dr. Beecher (from the United States), Professor
Tholoch (of the College of Halle), and numerous ministers of
every denomination of Protestantism, and from various parts
of Europe and America, were present on the platform. Sir
Culling Eardley Smith took the chair, and from his speech,
and those of the gentlemen who followed him, it appeared
that the great object of the meeting was the acknowledgment
of what was termed " the unity of the Christian Church."
A history of the Evangelical Alliance was entered into, and
its great era was declared to be the conference which took
place at Liverpool. It had been convened at the invitation
of some gentlemen in Scotland, and members of seven
churches of England, Wales, and Ireland, had, through dele-
gates, met their Scottish brethren on that occasion. Several
" topics" were dilated upon, this principle being involved in
all of them, viz.,, that the minor differences which existed
between the different sects of Christians ought not to prevent
them uniting in one great alliance.
NOBLE C ONDUCT.—C HATHAM, AUGUST 24.—We
have much pleasure in recording the following humane act
of an officer of the Hound, in rescuing a fellow-creature from
drowning. This afternoon (Monday), about four o'clock, a
seaman on board her Majesty's ship Hound, fitting for sea it
Sheerness, accidentally fell overboard from the gangway into
the sea. The Commander, G. 11. Wood, at the time was in
his cabin, and seeing the man struggling in the water,
sprang on deck, and, without taking off any of his uniform,
precipitated himself into the sea, and succeeded in saving the
life of the sailor; but the gallant officer was much exhausted
when he was got on board, and the seaman's life was nearly
gone.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 25.

The SpzAszu took the Chair a few minutes after
Twelve o'clock.
STANDING ORDERS.

Mr. ESTCOURT moved the abolition of the present
standing orders, and the adoption of others which had
been agreed upon as being more agreeable to the cir-
"lnstances of the present time. It would be recollected
that the standing orders had been decided upon on the
motion of the Hon. Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume),
the 10th August. It was by that resolution
'determined that a certain number of Members,
forty -two should be selected for the duty of.
ascertaining whether the standing orders bad been
t2rnolied with. Those forty-two gentlemen had
Zing
themselves into small committees, and
Zing nearly the whole of the session has been en-
Ziged, not only every day, but throughout a great part
the day, till the House met, laboriously occupied in
prtaining whether the several parties who promoted
filvate Bills had complied with the standing orders of
st...e Rouse. Now when the number and nature of these
ice"ding orders were recollected, it would be seen that
y had no easy task. By the resolution of the 10th
'Lllgust this system was done away with, and the
yr was empowered to appoint certain officers
.
,iose duty it was always to be engaged in this bum-
eBB so that the examination of private Bills might
untied., immediately, and thus dispatch was at least ob-
tionu; By the Bill which was passing for the constitut-
do; °' a railway board, the sub-committees would be
110-e away with, and consequently there would
noe„,,° Committee of Selection. But it was ne-
alarY that there should be some means of bringing
ufee...vatg Bills into the House, and the present Committee
gel f:
on recommend that the six gentlemen who bad
teret
3.10u1
°fore been entrusted with the business of selection,
still be continued in their post. It would be re-
collected that by the 2d and 3d Victoria,. the Speaker
ths required at the beginning of the session to lay on
table of the Hof the
which ouse a ist private Bills, for
„ application had been made. But he could not ob-
tain l°lll knowledge without due information from these
meminers, and in order to give authority to their state-
to:, new standing orders were necessary. He (Mr.
rat tart) having thus stated the reasons, and the gene-
,te
oature of the new orders, proceeded seriatim through
et."o,nrders, and stated the Tprbal alterations which the
clause ttee recommended for adoption. The only whole
wn.inserted is the following ;—Order 120 a, That
gay amendment

endtnent on the report, or the consideration of the

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The arrivals of Wheat of home produce up to our market
this week having been on a very limited scale, the show of
samples of that article here to-day was trifling, owing to
which, and the increased attendance of buyers, the demand
for that description of produce was firm, at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond, late currencies, and at which a
good clearance was effected. The supply of Foreign Wheat
offering was not to say extensive. Prime samples of both
red and white were taken off readily by the millers at ex-
treme figures, but the middling and inferior kinds com-
manded very little attention. About 3,000 quarters of
Wheat were sold, chiefly for export to Holland and Belgium.
No new English Barley at market. Grinding parcels were
in moderate request, at full prices. In grinding and distilling
sorts, next to nothing was doing. Superfine parcels of Malt
moved off steadily; other kinds slowly, at late rates. The
quantity offering was small. The supply of Oats was very
extensive, and more than equal to the wants of the dealers.
The trade, therefore, was inactive, at Monday's prices.
Beans, Peas, and Flour commanded full currencies.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, :t846.

As a testimony that the alleviation of the miseries
of Ireland is not incompatible with the legislative
Act of Union, we may direct attention to the ::,'arlia-
tnentary business with `which the present memorable
session is drawing to a conclusion. The whole
capacities of the Legislature, appear to be concen-
trated upon the amelioration of the distresses with
whichlheanbabitants of that island are threatened ;
the whole -rteg[okftfte Administration seems to be
evoked by the exigencies which are there apparent.

Various - measures have been concocted: and
p used through the different ordeals necessary
to enable them to come into operation.

CERTIFICATE.

" In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s
Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta
blished in economy arid the quality of the light. Tested against
argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a
saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners,
No. 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe-
rior to any other burner." .

The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly-
technic Institution, and may be had and seen from 11 till 4, at the

the Skin. The numerous varieties of Cutaneous Eruptions, Sun-
burn, Freckles, Tall, and Discolourations, are pleasingly eradicated
by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately soft and clear. Its

tion by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those
of the Continent of Europe, together with the "elite" of the Aris-
tocracy and " Haute Volee," from the sultry climes of India, and the

TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE MR. ALEXANDER
DAWSON.—The inhabitants of the county of Louth, and the
Reformers of Ireland generally, will be glad to hear that it
is in contemplation to erect a monument to the memory of
the late Mr. Alexander Dawson. Lord Cloncurry and several
other Irish patriots have signified their approval of such a
proceeding, and forwarded their subscriptions to Mr. Cullen.
EARNINGS BY CONVICTS.—In the year 1844, upon a
daily average of 874 prisoners in Millbank prison, the earn-
ings amounted to 3,748/. 65. 6a/d., and deducting the
expense of the manufactory, 1,002/. 2s. 1%d., the net
earnings were 2,746/. 4s. sid., showing the annual earn-
ings per head to have been 31. 2s. lOid. Last year, upon
a daily average of 954 prisoners, the earnings amounted to
5,191/. 15s. 113/4d., of which 925/. 17s. l Id. were the
expenses of the manufactory, leaving a net profit of
4,265/. 18s. Oid., showing the annual earnings per head
to have been 41. 9s. 5-id. The inspectors of the Mill-
bank prison, in their report for the year 1845, state that the
conduct of the prisoners, taken as a body, has been orderly
and submissive.

BRITISH SHlPPlNG.—Yesterday a return was issued
(obtained by Mr. Bouverie) of the number and tonnage of
British shipping entered inwards at ports of the United King-
dom from British colonial ports and from ports of foreign
Powers in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, and cleared
outwards to such ports in each year since 1820. It appears
that in 1821 the ships entered inwards at ports of the United
Kingdom from British colonial ports numbered 2,532, and
tonnage 656,213; whilst those cleared outwards numbered
2,698, and their tonnage 663,145. In the year 1845 the ships
entered inwards were 5,685, and the tonnage 1,895,529 ; and
those cleared outwards 5,046, and the tonnage 1,706,835.
In 1821, the number of British vessels entered inwards from
ports of foreign Powers in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Ame-
rica respectively was 6,669, and their tonnage 863,891;
whilst those cleared outwards numbered 5,766, and their
tonnage 757,295. In 1845 the number of the first descrip-
tion was 13,817, and their tonnage 2,289,744; and of the
second 14,008, and the tonnage 2,427,552.
BANK STOCK.—Yesterday a notice was issued by
order of the Directors of the Governor and Company of the
Bank of England, that the transfer-books for bank stock
will be closed from Friday the 11th of September, till
Friday the 16th of October.
