GROUP XXXIV.

The Committee to whom the Bills in this group are referred met this
morning, at twelve o'clock.
The members composing this Committee were, the Honourable
Mr. Cowper, Lord Duncan, Montague Gore, Esq., D. Davies, Esq.,
S. Walpole, Esq.
The Citaiastax announced, at the commencement of the business
that the Committee were of opinion that the preamble of the Great,
Grimsby and Sheffield Extension Railway was proved, and
further stated that it was their intention to hear evidence as to
the Hull and Lincoln line proposing to cross the Humber at Market
Raisin, as the Committee considered it advisable to grant two lines
for the accommodation of the district in question.

This suggestion having been agreed to, witnesses were called to
give evidence upon this point.

- Mr. Pryme, fate M.P. for Cambridge, was the first witness called,
who had been in the habit of staying for a period of three or four
weeks in the year at Hull, and said this line was one of great im-
portance, and was supported by some of the most wealthy and influen-
tial inhabitants of Hull.

HULL AND LINCOLN DIRECT.
Several other witnesses were called, who all agreed that the line
of railway would open up a portion of the country rich in mineral
and other produee.

The Committee adjourned at 4 o'clock to 12 o'clock to-morrow.

GROUP XXXVII.
The Committee met this day at twelve o'clock, in Room 21 ; pre-
sent, Lord Seymour (chairman), Mr. F. French, Lord Edwin Hill,
Sir J. Lopez, and Lord Ebrington.

- _
They resumed the considerAion of the
SHEFFIELD, ROTHERHAM, BARNSLEY,
WAKEFIELD, HUDDERSFIELD, AND

GOOLE.
Captain Lawes, who was examined on Friday in favour of the
Bill, was now cross-examined by Mr. Picueamo, on the part of the
opponents.
Mr. Leman, the solicitor to the Company, was examined at con-
siderable length, by Mr. TALBOT, in relation to an agreement en-
tered into by this Company with the South Yorkshire Company, for
the construction of the line south of Barnsley, that is to say, from the
latter town to Sheffield.
In cross-examination, by Mr. PICIEBRING, the witness said that
the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Effing-
ham, Mr. Bennet Martin, and other landed proprietors in the southern
half of the district had petitioned Parliament against the Bill. But
the agreement with the South Yorkshire Company was the conse-
quence of that petition. The only landed proprietors on that part of
the line who continued in opposition to the Bill, were the Duke of
Norfolk and Mr. Bennet Martin, the latter, as a director of the South
Yorkshire line, being in part bound by the agreement to support this
Bill in every stage. The agreement bears date of this day, May 4, 1846,
Some further general evidence as to the benefits which would be
derived from the proposed line by the people of the vicinity was en-
tered into, and
Mr. Ilawkshaw was called to give the usual engineering evidence,
which occupied the Committee up to four o'clock, at which hour they
adjourned.

SUGAR DUTIES.

It is confidently said that the plan to be proposed by Lord
John Russell will be a sliding scale, terminating in a vanish-
ing point so far as differential duty is concerned. We are
are assured that the gradation may be thus stated :
BRITISH PLANTATION. ALL FOREIGN.
1845
1846 ...... .. ..... 14s.
1847
1848
1849
1850
1851
1852 .....
1853
1854
The duty thus resulting, at the last-mentioned date, is a
permanent equ ilisation of fourteen shillings on British plan-
tation and foreign sugars.—Post.

NOTlCE.—Messrs. Ferguson. ef II"line Head Work 3.
(trading under the firm of Joseph Ferguson),having a second
time obtained an injunction in the Vice-Ctiancelior'a Court
against the use of their trade marks upon Silesias, and it
having been deposed to at the trial that other houses besides
the defendant had so used them, Messrs. Ferguson give this
public notice, in the hope that it will be a sufficient warning
to the parties in question, and obviate the necessity of fur-
ther proceedings. Holme Head Works, near Carlisle, June
30, 1846.
LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—Yesterday after-
noon the half-annual meeting or the governors and supporters
of this incorporated society, which is under the patronage of
Prince Albert, and affords to upwards of 100 licensed victual-
lers and their widows in decayed circumstances a home, coals
and candles, with weekly sums varying from 6s. to 7s 6d.,
was held in the Freemasons Tavern, Mr. Charles Kempt in
the chair. Mr. Jones, solicitor and secretary to the Society,
read the domestic and financial reports, which stated that
the late festival realised 2,500/., including 52/. 10s. from
Prince Albert; ditto, from Mr. Seager ; and 21/. from Captain
Pechell. The funded property figured 7,315/., and the general
finance of the Society exceeded by 6001. that of the preceding
year. Upon the motion of Mr. Pierce, seconded by Mr.
Marley, the report was adopted. After which, the different
vacancies amongst the governors and trustees were filled up,
and thanks voted to the chairman.
THE SALMON FISR/NG.,—TIIO grilse season has not
as yet produced the usual quantities in any of our northern
rivers. Some fine salmon have been caught, however. There
was one of 271bs. got on the Conon, a few days age, and one
of 301bs. at Kilmuir. The price has not been less than Bd.
per lb. here yet for balmy, and 6d. for grilse,—,&B4;.shire

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

We understand that the question of the Sugar
Duties will be settled without delay. The present
duty of fourteen shillings per cwt. on home-grown
will be reduced to ten shillings, and the duty on
foreign from 235. 6d. to 155., which rates will con-
tinue until 1849, when the differential duty of ss.
on foreign and slave will be abolished, and one uni-
form duty will be charged hereafter on all sugars
whatever, without distinction as to the place of their
growth. This augurs well!

STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE.

The following Resolutions were reported from the above
Committee :-
1. That, in the case of the South-Eastern Railway (from
the Greenwich Railway to Chart, near Ashford, with
Branches to Tunbridge and Riverhead) Bill, amendments on
third reading, the amendments are of such a nature as ought
not to be adopted at that stage.
2. That, in the case of the Liverpool and Bury and Man-
chester and Leeds Railway Amalgamation Bill, clause on
consideration of report, the clause is of such a nature as may
be adopted if the House shall think fit, without the re-com-
mitment of the Bill.—Report to lie on the table.

South• Eastern Railway (from the Greenwich Railway to
Chart, near Ashford, with Branches to Tunbridge and River-
head) Bill—further proceeding on third reading resumed;
Bill passed.
NOTICE OF MOTION.

Mr. Greene—That standing orders, Nos. 121 and 122, re-
quiring amendments proposed on the report or third reading

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
PLYMOUTH.

JULY 7.—The interest experienced in respect to the elec-
tion become stronger and stronger every moment. Both par-
ties to-day express themselves confident of success. An
active canvass is being carried on on both sides. Mr. Vincent
yesterday evening addressed several thousand personsin front
of the theatre, he was received by the assembled multitude
with considerable applause, that multitude, however, was
composed principally of non-electors. This day at noon he
spoke for about one hour to another open-air meeting. His
speech in this instance was listened to with less enthusiasm
than was apparent at the meeting of last night. To-night
he attends a meeting of the electors and others at the theatre.
The best-informed think Mr. Vincent's chance of success very
small, if indeed he has any chance at all, notwithstanding
the flattering confidence of his friends.
Lord Ebnngton's committee, sitting daily at the Mecha-
nics' Institute, are every moment expecting his Lordship's
arrival in town, but up to this time (three o'clock P.m.) he
has not arrived.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY: The writ having been ordered
last evening, on the motion of Mr. Thornely, is expected to
arrive here to-night. The election will, therefore, take place
immediately. The prospects of the new candidate remain
unaltered.

LINES ON THE DEATH OF THE

LATE MR. HAYDON.

BY MRS. CHARLES TINSLEY.

All thy trusts broken,
Dispersed through the past,
One shall not fail thee—
Alas ! 'tis the last!
What life refused thee
Death now shall give ;
Who let thee die thus
Will now bid thee live.
Why didst thou leave us
A mem'ry like this?
Torture so nigh to
What might have been bliss!
Man could have saved thee,
His near aid was sought,
He turned from thee coldly—
() God, for the thought!
Noble and brave one,—
Aye, brave *, even here,
Forsaking thine own
For the lives that were dear—
Rank, without grandmas,
And wealth, without worth,
By thy sad proving
But cumber the earth.

Blessings encircle
The kind heart that shed
One bright beam on thine
Ere its dense shadows fled;
Thy pale hand uplifted,
This record to bear,
Is a picture so touching,
'Twill live everywhere!

Gentle, and noble,
And sorely-tried heart,
Earth's yearning sorrow
Would reach where thou art !
Eagerly longing
To prove to thee yet,
If not its justice,
At least its regret.
0, if such interest
Aa ours can thus grow
From closely observing
One human heart's woe,
What may not love,
From all worldly taint free,
The fathomless love
Of thy God do for thee?

* [We cannot coincide with our correspondent in
regarding the crime of suicide as any indication of true valour.
Does she not remember the epitaph which Napoleon ordained
to be inscribed on the tomb of every suicide in his domi-
nions?—" Here lies a coward !" In poor Haydon, however,
suicide was not so much the result of cowardice—for he had
battled bravely, during forty-two years, against misfortune—
as from terrible madness, which has so often supervened upon
the agony of contemned and neglected genius—En. Sun.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.— Charles
Campbell, many years champion of the Thames, having
recently disputed Robert Coombes's claim to that honorary
distinction until beaten by him, challenged him, and the
latter having immediately accepted it, the parties and their
friends met on Monday evening, at Messrs. Cownden and
Wentzell's, the Ship, Fox•street, Lambeth, when articles
of agreement were entered into between them, to row for
100/. aside, on Wednesday, the 19th of August, a clear right
away wager (no fouling), flow Putney-bridge to i boat off
he bbip at lif9rtltke.

THE PLOUGH. Vol. 1

Prosperity has so far attended this publication, and
if it be ci inducted henceforth with similar talent and
similar enterprise, its volumes cannot fail to accumulate
as each successive half-year transpires. As a monthly
miscellany of " agriculture and rural affairs," it has
already acquired a very distinguished position, and this
rapid elevation of a new aspirant in a field so often ai.d
so ably trodden, is to be ascribed, we conceive, to the
extreme utility which characterises not only every num-
ber, but almost every individual paper in every num-
ber. The utility of the article is, moreover, enhanced
by the popular strain in which it is advanced, and
also by the appropriateness of the different contri-
butions to the seasons and circumstances in which
they are produced. As a favourable specimen
of this we may instance the number of the Plough for
the current month, namely July. Besides a well-timed
budget of "Remarks on the Maturation of Fruits,"
another of " Observations on Diarrhoea in Lambs," and
a curious dissertation on " Furze, Gorse, or Whin," the
magazine contains a very valuable lecture on the compo-
sition of the earth, as applied to agriculture, the first of
an admirable series of chapters explanatory of "The
Natural History of the Cereal Plants," and one of the
renowned Baron Justus Liebig's brochures, entitled,
"Remarks on Fallow." Not satisfied, however, with
such a catalogue raisonee, the editor begins "An
Agricultural Survey of England"—a subject both
copious and interesting enough to fill an entire
book of itself—and which, when completed wilt
prove a most useful statistical resource. One
article in the present number we must in justice par-
ticularise, as both readable to any ordinary peruser, and
as of especial importance to all who are engaged profes-
sionally in cultivating the. earth—we mean a descrip-
tion of the effects produced by aration," or the break
ing up and loosening of the soil; an operation which,
by adc•Aing the latent heat of the globe to radiate
through the pat ticies of mould more freely than it could
otherwise, tends most remarkably to facilitate the pro-
gress of vegetation. The subject is ably treated, and
deserves every attention ; pet haps we are the
more induced to regard such matters with
a favourable eye fr,an our enthusiasm for
the propagation of a pLilosophic spirit in all the
departments of husbandry. We cannot help regarding
as a somewhat anomalous circumstance about this pre
liminary volume of the Plough the delicacy uhd
evunescent beauty of the binding; surely a work which
is intended for the perusal of our honest, heavy-handed
tenant-fat mers should have been covered more unos-
tentatiously and durably—not by a dainty apple-green
and gold, which a gossamer might smudge and the
powder of a lily stain beyond all reparation. If gree?,
were so absolutely requisite, surely a " jolly green"
would have been more serviceable. In future the pub-
lisher might take a hint from Shakspere's ejaculation,
" Go hang a calf-skin round those recreant limbs !"

AND NORTH=ON.
The Committee re-assembled this morning, Lord Somers
in the chair, when, after some discussion, the examination of
Mr. Birkenshawe, the engineer, was continued.
In the course of his evidence he admitted that there was
an error of seven feet in the elevatpn of the line at Epworth.
The inconvenience arising from this fact he proposed to re-
medy by taking advantage of the section of the Railway
Consolidation Acts, and making a deviation of five feet, and
thus leave it at that point only two feet above the surface of
the earth.
On re-examination by Mr. Wrirrithunsr, the witness
stated that this would be no more inconvenience than that
which was suffered by the elevation of the public roads.
Mr. Sergeant KINCLAKE then addressed the Committee on
this point, and urged that under the provisions of the
Standing Orders, and under the regulations of the Railways
0713491idativil Act, the could not parin.
