(KNAREBBOROTIGII TO YOILX).

Mr. BAINES, with whom was Mr Knowles. opened the merits of
the line, and called Lord Harewood and Mr. Dent, who spoke to the
neceaaity which still existed in the district for intercommunication.

At the desire of the Committee Mr. Thomas Grainger, engineer
sf this line, and also of the Leeds and Thirak line, was
sailed, who stated that there existed a chasm in the rail-
way accommodation in the neighbourhood of Knareeborough,
that a person going from Knaresborough to York would
bays to drive or walk four miles to Cripple Mills, on the Church Fen-
ton line ; and although the Leeds and Thirak line came near to the
Choi-eh Fenton line, the latter was 48 feet above the level of the
ethers, so that no junction could be formed between them.
It was stated in evidence that the line was supported by fear.-fifths
of the landowners on it.

Mr. Mass appeared to oppose it on the part of nine proprietors on
the roate.

Pint tha Committee, after haying the room cleared,considered that
no residential injury was done. and that it would be unnecessary to
enter into the question of traffic, as the line was supported by so
large a number of the proprietors, the Chairman expressing it as his
opinion, that it would be one of the best lines in the district, beating
the others hollow.

The room waa again cleared,
The Cumaatate told the parties when re-ad:r,ittwi. that the Bill
had pas.iti the Committee without amendment, and would be re-
ported of to the Haute.

The Committee decided this morning that the preamble to this
Bill had been proved, so far as the Dartmouth, Sutton Pool, Mill-
bay, and l'i.2wbasset branches were concerned, but not proved as re-
garded thrJ Plymouth and Tavistock branch.
The Committee then proceeded with the consideration of the
use. The whole of them were agreed to with some trifling
amens. rents, and the Chairman was directed to report the Bill ac-

AN UNWILLING BATHE.--On Saturday morning,
young gentleman went to bathe in the Lee, above the Pipe Watet•
works, at
Cork. After swimming about for some minutes, be re'
turned to the bank, and was proceeding to dress himself, when t
Durham bull moved in stately Ibrrn towards him, pawing the ground,
tossing his head, and switching his tail. The baffler, perceiving the
acquaintance becoming rather close, shook his coat at the animal tt
deter "n 9 but this appeared to have been taken as an invitation to
advance, and the animal came on at an accelerated pace, when the
poor wight was compelled to save himself by jumping into the river.
He was no sooner submerged than the bull took his clothes on h
horns, and pitched them one after the other after him into the water.
The gentleman caught his clothes, and hung by the bank, trying oc-
casionally to escape, but the bull guarded the bank so as to prevent
a retreat. •He was thus kept in the water for three hours, until dis•
covered by a person passhig on the opposite bank, and a boat was
brought to his assistance.—lrish paper.

issue a prospectus, and when I state that during the now ex-
piring season we have produced five new operas and five new
ballets, all of them supported by the principal artistes of the
continent, in addition to our own native talent, a grand spec-
tacle and a pantomime, besides the almost equally trouble-
some revival of several established pieces, I can state, without
the possibility of contradiction, that no theatre in Europe of
similar magnitude has produced one-half of that number in a
similar period. This is only mentioned to give you an
assurance that the season which will begin at the ordinary
period of September, shall be sustained by equally strenuous
exertions."

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1846.

The speech of M. THIERS, on Wednesday. in the
French Chamber of Deputies, his visit to this country
last autumn, and the complimentary return made by
Lord PALMERST9N, are all favourable symptoms that
the phrase entente cordiale is something more than mere
w0r.13. The condonation, too, has come from the right
quart, r—from the angry party that, till very lately,
mired no opportunity of declaiming against the selfish
dispositiAn of England, and of her wish to overreach
France, and interpret the words of the French KING
3nly to her own advantage. The speech to which we
refer, and which was not finished.; at the hour of post
on Wednesday, related to the strength of the French
navy, and the comparative power of England and France

at sea. Judging from M. TLuEfts' work on the " Con

sulate and the 1311npir,-," we are led to believe that he

considered France quite an equal match for this country,
both as regarded the skill of her naval officers, and the
oravery of her sailors. He never relates an encounter
U sea, in which France had not the superiority, or was
''.lhdt;iellibtilM4he victwry by some accident, or some
rpreirett,c—Kexpected, and unwarrantable trick on

THE HAGUE, APRIL 15.—The Staats Courant of this
date publishes a royal message to the Second Chamber of
the States-General, accompanying six projects of law,
and an explanatory testimonial presented in the sitting
of the Bth of April. These six projects of law are for
increasing the second, third, fourth, and eighth chapter,
and the ninth chapter, letter B, of the budget, for the
years 1846 and 1847, on account of pensions which
are at present assigned on the general fund for civil
pensions.

ZIERIRZEE, APRIL 10.—We hear that the owners of
packet boats between this place and Rotterdam have the
intention, as soon as they can obtain permission, to em-
ploy steam-boats between the towns, which shall leave
the ports at the same time as the packets.
The emigration to North America from this town and
islands, appears to be more extensive than we imagined;
several families have lately emigrated to that country,
and will be shortly followed by several others.
BOIS LE Doc, APRIL 11.—The water is rising in an
alarming mariner, the quays of our port are again over-
flowed, and if the water rises only a few inches more, it
will inundate the houses. About two o'clock this morn-
ing an immense break was made in the dyke between
Orthen and the English mill. It is 200 ells in length,
and becomes larger every moment. The lands of Eupel
and Eigen are inundated to such a depth that all prospect
of even a moderate harvest on those fruitful lands is
vanished, beeauf.e it is very probable that all the drains
will be choked up with sand, and consequently the best
parts of the summer will pass away before they can be
cleared to let the water flow off.

GRUTE, APRIL 11.—The Meuse again overflows its
banks to-day, for the third time. All efforts that have
been made to prevent it, have proved fruitless.
MAESTRICHT, APRIL 12.—The continuance of heavy
