ROYAL COMMISSION.

At four o'clock Sir Augustus Clifford, the Usher of
the Black Rod, appeared at the table, and summoned
the House to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal
Assent given to 61 Bills, for the titles of which see our
Lords' report.
Mr. ALLIX moved the third reading of the Wisbech,
St. Ives, and Cambridge Junction Railway.
Colonel PEEL opposed the motion, the Bill was
nothing better than an attempt on the part of the East-
ern Counties Railway, to carry the traffic from Wisbech
and St. Ives, over their line in preference to a far better
one. He trusted the House would not allow this without
further inquiry, and should give an opportunity of that
taking place. He would move that the Bill be read a
third time that day three months.
Mr. ALLlX—Considering that this railway was most
essential to the interests of the people of Wisbeach, St.
Ives, and Cambridge, was determined to persist in his
motion. Wisbeach was one of the largest corn markets
in the kingdom, and St. Ives next to Smithfield.
was one of the greatest cattle markets in England; and
he hoped that the Hon. and Gallant Member for
Huntingdon would withdraw his opposition, because, if
it were successful, the people of that district would be
deprived for the period of nine months of the advan-
tages which this railway would confer upon them.
Mr. BINGH All BARRING was convinced of the
necessity of this line. Ile had voted for it before, and
he was now also determined to give it his hearty sup-
port. Ho hoped that the House would support the
decision of the Committee on this Bill (of which he
had been chairman), by passing the Bill. Under all
the circumstances he trusted the House would allow the
Bill to pass in its present state.
Mr. B. I)ENISON denied that the London and York
Company, as a company, were opposed to this Bill.
Mr. GARDINER opposed the Bill.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, when there
appeared—
