GROUP X.XIX.

This Committee met to-day shortly after twelve o'clock. Present
—Mr. Labouchere, Sir W. Molesworth, Sir J. Duckworth, Colonel
Rawdon, and Sir J. Smyth.

BOSTON, sT.A.rapoR.D AND BIRM/NGI/AM,
(STAMFORD TO WISBECR) LINE.

The evidence in behalf of this Bill was resumed,

Mr. Watson examined— The proposed railway would be of con-
siderable advantage in bringing up oil-cake from the Baltic to Wis-
bed). It would effect in this article a saving of 3s. out 4s. 6d. There
would be nearly the same saving in ether heavy articles of merchan-
dice. A railway from Lynn to Peterborough, by Wisbech, would
not be so speedy a mode of communication as the proposed railway,
because it would involve an angle. The expense of getting coals,
&e., from the harbour to the Lynn and Ely station would be from Is.
to Is. 6d. per ton. The navigation of the river from Wisbech to
Thorny would be in some degree superseded. lle would himself use
the river from Wisbech to Peterborough.
Mr. Butt examined—Lived at Croland, where he carried on busi-
ness as a salesman. The population of that town was nearly 3,000,
and the proposed railway would afford them an increased facility of
transit for potatoes, &c., to Nottingham and Derby. This was at
present a great desideratum. The proposed railway would give a
market for potatoes and wool at Birmingham.
Mr. Tyrrel examined—Carried on business at Lynn. The pro-
posed railway would increase the exports from Lynn. When corn
came to Lynn it was generally shipped to the manufacturing dis-
tricts. The great corn consuming county was Lancashire. The
effect of the railway would be to establish a direct communication
between the port of Lynn and Birmingham, and would, in all re-
spects, be most desirable. It would, of course, diminish the port
dues at Lynn, but this would be of no importance as compared with
the advantages that would result from the railway.
Mr. Arms examined—Was a linen merchant residing at Lynn.
The shipping trade at Hull would not be much affected as re-
gards corn.

Mr. TALBOT appeared for the Corporation of Wisbech. He said
that he believed lie should be able to show that the railway did not
possess all the advantages contended for by his Learned Friend. In
the first place, it would cost as much in bringing up goods from the
port of Lynn to Wisbech, as it would in conveying them under
present circumstances. But this railway would be disadvantageous
in other points, for it would, as he should be able to show by evidence
seriously affect the river; and it would appear clearly that the effec
of this line would be to aggrandise Lynn at the expense of Wisbech.

COUNTY OF LIMERICK.

Mitchelstown, Jan. 12, 1846.
I have to report a most atrocious and daring murder
which was committed this day, about six miles from here,
in this district, at a place called Banagunahy, in the
parish of Anglesbury and county Limerick. The de-
ceased, Mr. Jones Lynch, a respectable farmer, holding
300 acres of land, at 6s. per acre, under Mr. Lowe, of
Spring-house, near Bansha, in the county Tipperary,
left his own house this day a little after twelve o'clock,
to proceed to his son's house, situated about 500 yards
from his father's, upon the same townland of Bana-
gunahy. It would appear that he did not delay long
at his son's house, who was absent from home, at-
tending the fair of Mitchelstown, and on his return to
his own house by the high road, when within 50 yards
of his dwelling, he was shot almost immediately dead,
as he could not have survived above five minutes at the
utmost, after having received his death wound. Two
balls (apparently pistol balls) entered his back close to
the spine, about seven inches apart, one of which passed
through the stomach, and was extracted by Surgeon
Phelan in my presence; a third ball entered the body in
front, about the fourth rib on the left side. lam not
without some hopes of perhaps obtaining information to
sustain a case of conspiracy to murder, but I see no
chance of obtaining any information to lead to the con-
viction of the murderers; of this, however, you may rest
satisfied, that every exertion shall be made, and every
pains taken to vindicate the law. I beg to suggest a re-
ward of 1001. in this case. _

The Royal mail steam-ship Avon, Captain R. S.
Norton, arrived at Southampton last night, bringing the
mails from Mexico and the West Indies. At Tampico
and Vera Cruz there had been some severe gales. The
weather at Bermuda was very bad, a gale having coot
menced on the I:th, and continued to the 23d. The
Avon left on the following day (after the arrival of the
outward-bound packet, the Thames), and made the run
from Bermuda in sixteen days. Her latest dates are—

March 17; and Bermuda, March 24.
She brings home fifty-five passengers, besides a very
valuable cargo, consisting of 2,014,085 dollars (49,481 of
which are from Vera Cruz, on account of the Mexican

dividends), 1,000 dollars in gold dust, 10,000/. worth of
pearls, 2811 b. .ez. of platina, 146/. 15s. in British coin,
38 serons of indigo, and 91 ditto of cochineal, besides
other minor packages.
The following ships of war were lying at Vera Cruz:—
Her Majesty's sloop Rose; the United States squadron,
under the command of Commodore Connor, consisting 01

22 guns; and Porpoise brig, 16 guns; also the French
corvette Ls. Perouse, 18 guns; the Spanish brig Patinta,
18 guns; the Mexican squadron Montezuma and Guade-
loupe steamers, of 7 guns each; two brigs of 16 guns;
and five schooners of 5 guns.

and French brig Griffon, 10 guns ; at Nassau, ber Ma-
jesty's ship Thunder, surveying vessel; and at Ber-
muda, her Majesty's ship Endymion.
Her Mitfesty's ship's Vindictive, bearing the flag of
Vice-Admiral Sir F. Austin, and Eurydice, arrived at
St. Thomas's on the,2lst of February from Martinique,
and sailed the same afternoon for Jamaica. The Vin-
dictive was expected at Havannah on the 19th ult., on
her way to Bermuda.
Her Majesty's frigate America was at Mazatlan, west
coast of Mexico, on the 10th February. She was to
sail, however, in two days for Valparaiso and England
with upwards of 2,000,000 dollars on board. Her Ma-
jesty's brig Frolic was also at Mazatlan, and the Talbot
at Saint Blas.

The American squadron, consisting of two frigates,
three sloops, and two store-ships, under the command
of Commodore Heat, was also at Mazatlan ; and several
other American vessels of war were daily expected.
The Avon exchanged colours, on the 4th of April,
with the Wellereden, homeward bound ; on the Bth,
with the Caroline, of Poole, outward bound ; and on the
same day with the Duncan, also outward bound.
The Company's steamer Medway had left Havannah
for Vera Cruz, the Tweed had gone to the Windward
Islands, the Forth was at Carthagena, the Severn at
Jamaica,. the Thames at Bermuda, and the City of Glas-
gow and Reindeer at Grenada.

CHARGE OF MURDER.

On Wednesday, an inquest was held before Mr. Baker,
Coroner, at the London Hospital, Mile End-road, on
the body of James Eastmead Bradley, aged
twenty, a toll-collector, who died on Sunday
morning last, from the injuries he received
by the wheels of a loaded dung cart passing over his
body on Saturday morning, near the Mile End•gate.
A man named Thomas Roff has been remanded on a
charge of wilful murder by the magistrates at the
Thames Police Court, after hearing evidence that the
deceased, while attempting to collect the toll from the
prisoner, was struck at, and forced under the waggon.
It appeared from the evidence, that Roff, who is a
lighterman and greengroeer, in High-street, Bromley,
passed through Mile End-gate with his horse and cart,
on Saturday morning, about five o'clock. He was ac-
companied by his son, a lad aged fifteen years. They
had previously passed through the Globe-road gate,
lower down the road, on the same trust, and the prisoner
Roff tendered a sovereign to the turnpike man in pay-
ment of the toll. The collector was unable to give
change for the sovereign, and gave him a credit ticket—
a common practice on the road—marked "Roff C."
When the horse and cart passed through the Mile End-
gate, the deceased, who was collector, ran after sad de-
manded the toll or the ticket of the day. Roff's son
called out the letter " Y." The deceased said that it
would not do, and attempted to force the reins from
Roff's hands, and turned the horse and cart round to-
wards the Blind Beggars. While the struggle was going
on, a loaded dung-cart passed in the same direction, and
the shaft caught the deceased and threw him down.
The wheels-passed over him.
A witness named George Hunt, porter, deposed that
the prisoner struck at the deceased twice with his whip,
which had no thong to it.
The driver of the cart which passed over the decease
stated that Roff only struck one blow while the deceased
was at the horse's head.

Roff's son swore positively that his father made one
blow at the deceased, but did not hit him ; and that
while Bradley was stooping to avoid the blow, the shaft
of the dung-cart caught his head and threw him down.
A question now rose between Mr. Sorrell, who ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham, for the
prisoner, as to the legality of the deceased's conduct. It
was argued that the letter "Y," which Roff's son called
out, belonged to the ticket of the day, commencing at
five o'clock in the morning. The occurrence happened
at five minutes before five. After some further discus-
sion and a good deal of wrangling between the legal
gentlemen employed in the case and the father of the
deceased, who is the principal collector of tolls at the
Mile End-gate, the inquest was adjourned.

STOCK ETCHANGE.—The intentions of Government, as expressed
by Sir R. Peel and Earl Dalhousie, have given an impetus to inquiry
for scrip; to which the markets latterly have been unaccustomed.
Buyers, however, generally seem indisposed to give the prices de-

full of what may reasonably be expected to be the balance of the
deposits returned, should the company be compelled to dissolve.

cumstance, as well as the knowledge of your desire on -
all occasions to see justice done to small and great, has
induced me to address you on this matter. I must first
tell you, that I have been requested to act as Honorary
Secretary to the Committee appointed to carry out the
objects of the resolutions passed at a general meeting of
the public of Calcutta. I hare taken the liberty of for-
warding to you the proceedings of that meeting,
by which you will learn, that besides an address
unamiously voted to Sir George Pollock, a prize was
also to be given annually at Addiscombe (the
Company's military seminary) to commemorate the
name and cervices of the gallant general. This
sort of testimonial will, I hope, be considered ex-
tremely appropriate, as it not only conveys the highest
compliment which could be paid to Sir George Pollock,
but likewise evinces an earnest desire on the part of the
givers to perpetuate in our own country a constantly re-
curring recollection of the many brilliant and important
victories which, in consequence of, aid in succession to,
the memorable forcing of the Kyber Pass, were suc-
cessfully and uninterruptedly obtained by the Bengal
army under Sir George, until he again planted the
British flag on the Ballah Hessar, and re-occupied
Cabul, thus restoring the long-established impression
and prestige of the invincibility of our military power
and strength, and visiting with singular retributive
punishment the flagrant acts and conduct of the Affghans.
I hope also you will consider the testimonial appro-
priate, especially as it holds out an inducement to young
soldiers in the same service as Sir George Pollock to
gain this reward, and by their future career to emulate
tne great deeds of their predecessors. I have taken
upon myself to mention your name to the Committee,
and assured them that I believed you would
take a deep interest in promoting the object of
the public of this city ; and I am requested respectfully
and earnestly to solicit your powerful aid in giving the
papers general circulation, in the fullest conviction that
the feeling they will excite will obtain for the object wo
have in view the most satisfactory suffrage and support.
Under your support, it would afford the inhabitants of
India a just'cause of pride and satisfaction if the Corpo-
ration were to take this appropriate mode of testifying
their approbation of the high deserts of their fellow-
citizen, Sir George Pollock, by numbering themselves
with those who have come forward to support this inte-
resting and novel testimonial in honour of a bravo soldier
and meritorious man.
" I have been obliged to write this, as you see evidence
of, in great haste, and must trust to your tried kindness
to excuse it."

It appeared, that as the complainant was on duty in
Horseshoe-alley, Shoreditch, between 2 and 3 o'clock in
the morning of the Ist instant, he met the prisoner, who
was staggering about in a state of drunkenness, and
shouting and creating such an uproar that the disturbed
the whole neighbourhood. The officer succeeded with
great difficulty in removing him to the door of the house
in which he lived, where he was about to leavf,
when he suddenly turned round, and exclaiming
Take
that," kicked him with such savage violence in the lower
part of his person, that he instantly fell to the ground in
a state of insensibility. Two of his brother constables,
who had been drawn to the spot by the prisoner's
riotous conduct and witnessed the attack he had made
upon Haynes, immediately seized the prisoner and en-
deavoured to take him into custody; but the accused
made such a strenuous resistance, that both these officers
were also knocked down, and it required the combined
efforts of all three constables to take him to the police-
station. The officer Haynes, who appeared to be com-
pletely crippled from the effects of the violence that had
been exercised upon him, handed to the magistrate a
certificate from Mr. Mather, the divisionalsurgeon, which
stated that the subject of it had been ever since suffering
severely from a very dangerous kick, and was still in
such a state as to be incapable of resuming his duty,
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that the
officers would swear his life away if they could ; that.he
had no recollection of kicking the constable at all; and
that, if he had done so, it must be purely accidental.
Mr. BROUGHTON said, that as the utmost punishment
he had it in his power to inflict was scarcely adequate
to meet the aggravated nature of an assault of this
description, he considered the only proper course to
pursue would be to send the case before a jury at the
sessions ; but the complainant having requested the
Magistrate to adjudicate upon the matter, as it would
cause him the greatest inconvenience to carry the case
any further, his request was ultimately acceded to, and
the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment
and hard labour in the House of Correction,
_without the
option of the payment of any pecuniary penalty.

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION IN

PORT-GLASGOW.

A few minutes before two o'clockyesterday (Tuesday),
the ropework and sailcloth weaving premises at Port-
Glasgow, belonging to the Gourock Ropework Com-
pany, were discovered to be on fire, and the alarm
was immediately given, the steeple bell was rung, the
fire-engines were sent for, and a messenger dis-
patched for the Greenock engines, but every effort at
stopping the progress of the devouring element
was fruitless in the extreme ; in twenty minutes
the whole range of wooden buildings on the sonth side
of the Greenock Railway, on which an additional story
for weaving was lately erected, was enveloped in one
line of blaze and smoke, from the bridge at the railway
station to the flax spinning-mill, which has been saved,
a distance of some hundreds of yards, presenting a scene
of most imposing grandeur, yet a dreadful and ap-
palling spectacle. By three o'clock the whole buildings
were levelled with the railway wall, leaving nothing but
the burning embers, and an immense quantity of hemp,
on which the fire-engines were playing, to save
as much of it as possible. Part of the gable of a
brick building fell with a crash upon the railway, and,
although the ruins were partially cleared away, ob-
structed the down-train from Glasgow at three, and the
up-train from Greenock at half-past three, till the
passengers of each dismounted and walked past the
scene of devastation. The railway servants, however,
were most assiduous in attention to the passengers,
and not the slightest accident occurred. The blaze and
smoke were seen in awful splendour at Greenock, which
with the intelligence attracted a number from that place.
The people of l'ort-Glasgow were thrown into the ut-
most consternation, and all the heights commanding a
view of the catastrophe were crowded. Fortunately
the wind being light and from the north, the flames
and sparks were driven back toward the hill, else the
consequences to the town might have been frightful;
as it was, only one dwelling-house has suffered. Had
the event occurred during the night, the appearance,
consternation, and con. equences !must have been
awfully heightened. As it is, the loss must be
very great. The company of proprietors are chiefly
belonging to Greenock, and have been enterpris-
ing manufacturers of sailcloth and ropes for a num-
be.r of years, giving employment to a great number
of workmen and other persons, who will now be for a
time thrown out of employment. We understand that
the property of the company is insured—we should hope
to cover all loss. When our informant left the spot, the
only efforts being made were to save as much of the raw
material on the spot as possible, every other consumable
article being burned up.—Glasgow Chronicle.

he would fin• her the amount of the damage, Bs., but
would append a note to the commitment requesting the
surgeon of the prison to inquire into the state of the
defendant's mind.
The defendant was removed in the van at the usual time.

EFFECTS OF DRINK.—Mr. John Fiddes, of 4, St.
Anne's Villa, Acaccia-road, was summoned for having
menaced his wife Harriet, whereby she went in bodily
fear.
Mr. Hobler attended for the wife.

It appeared that the parties had been separated for
some time, and that the complainant by her own exer-
tions maintained herself and her two children. The de-
fendant, however, followed her from place to place,
acting in a manner so as to excite serious fears for her
own and her children's safety. The defendant's conduct
was exceedingly violent when he was under the influence
of liquor, which indeed was an habitual vice. Mrs.
Fiddes gave several instances of the defendant's me-
nacing behavour towards her with his stick, and called
evidence to show that it was not safe for her to be with
her husband, in consequence of the effect which drink
had on him.

A surgeon, who had attended the husband profes-
sionally. said he knew that the consequences of indul-
gence in drink had been to produce delirium tremens iu
the defendant. He thought the defendant could not be
safely trusted when intoxicated.
The defendant, whose language towards his wife was
very endearing, said if his wife, whom he dearly loved,.
would live with him again, he would promise to give up
drink, and would keep sober.
The wife said she could not depend upon that promise.
It had often before been given and always broken.
The husband said his object in pursuing his wife from
place to place was to see that she had no visitors. He
objected to her living in private lodgings by herself.
Mr. Hobler said the complainant was only visited by
old friends of tke family.
Mr. HARDWICK said, after the evidence of habitual
intoxication, and the violence to be apprehended from
the defendant when in that state, he was of opinion
that the wife was entitled to the protection of the law,
which she prayed, against her husband. He should,
therefore, require him to find sureties. himself in 1001,
an,l two sureties in 50/. each, to keep the peace to-
wards her.

ASSASSINATION OF A MAYOR

BT A YOUNG WOMAN.
COURT OF ASSIZES OF CORSICA, MARCH 23.
The following trial reveals a curious state of affairs in the
island of Corsica, where for the last six years a species
of civil war has raged, in which one party has succeeded
in exterminating the other, killing successively all the
males of two families, without the civil power having
been able energetically to correct such a state of dis-
order. The fathers and brothers being all slain, the
murderers have with impunity threatened to violate the
women, to cut off theirbreeasae
breasts, and
have been obligedandafterwardsto to
put
them to death ; even the females
arm themselves inivmnsaerlrvaetse of the events theirowendnets which had led tofenceThefollowingis

two factions ; on the one side were the Quilichinis and
the I'olis, on the other the Giacomonis and Santa
Lucias. Numbers having fallen on both sides by the
dagger and musket, the two parties became weary of
the mutual slaughter, and in 1834 a peace was patched
up ; for six years they refrained from hostilities. In
1840 two marriages were contracted by Pierre Poli and
Jacques Quilichini, which excited a feeling of enmity
in the Santa Lucias, who had wished to marry these
young men into their own family, and they conceived
and executed the frightful project of assassinating Poli
and Quilichini on the day of their marriage. These
two horrible crimes, committed in open day, with no
provocation, were the signal for the breaking out of the
second war. The assassins fled to Sardinia, but were
pursued and arrested ; two of them, the Abhi Santa
Lucia and Giudice Giacomoni were brought to trial.
The priest was found guilty, and condemned to ten
years' imprisonment ; the other was acquitted. On the
news of the condemnation of the priest, his relatives
commenced a series of crimes almost unparalleled for
barbarity and persevering cruelty. One individual, who
had given evidence against the Abb6 Santa Lucia, was
seized by these bandits in the fields ; they bound him to
a tree, put out his eyes, cut out his tongue, stabbed him in
various parts of the body, and left him in this state, ex-
claiming, " That was the Corsican way of treating false
witnesses." No fewer than six other parsons who had
given evidence, perished beneath the knife of the assas-
sins, or pierced by the shot from their guns. Procla.
mations were affixrd to the walls of the church of
Sarteae, prohibitin - under pain of death, the least
help being given t milies of the enemies to these
bandits.

The males of the opposing factions had thus been all
sacrificed to the vengeance of they Santa Lucia party,
with the exception of une, a surgeon at Ajaccio.
also was, a few months ago, shot by Santa Lucia, at the
door of his own house. The &swan, in makiug his

COUNTY OP LIMERICK.

• Mitchelstown, Jan. 12, 1846.
I have to report a most atrocious and daring murder
which was committed this day, about six miles from here,
in this distrint, at a place called Banagunahy, in the
parish of Anglesbury and county Limerick. The de-
ceased, Mr. Jones Lynch, a respectable farmer, holding
300 acres of land, at 6s. per acre, under Mr. Lowe, of
Spring house, near Bansha, in the county Tipperary,
left his own house this day a little after twelve o clock,
to proceed to his son's house, situated about 500 yards
from his father's, upon the same townland of Bana-
guuehy. It would appear that he did not delay long
at his son's house, who was absent from home, -
at-
tending the fair of Mitchelstown, and on his return to
his own house by the high road, when within 50 yards
of his dwelling, he was shot almost immediately dead,
as he could not have survived above five minutes at the
utmost, after having received his death wound. Two
balls (apparently pistol balls) entered his back close to
the spine, about seven inches apart, one of which passed
through the stomach, and was extracted by Surgeon
Phelan in my presence; a third ball entered the body in
front, about the fourth rib on the left side. lam not
without some hopes of perhaps obtaining information to
sustain a case _of conspiracy to murder, but I see no
chance of obtaining any information to lead to the con-
viction of the murderers; of this, however, you may rest
satisfied, that every exertion shall be made, and every
pains taken ta vindicate the law. I beg to suggest a re-
ward of 100/. in this case.
