LONDON AND GRAVESEND.

The Committee re-assembled this morning, the Earl of Devon in
the chair, when
Mr. Bidder was called to confirm the statements in Mr. Austin's
address, which he did to a considerable extent, when
Mr. Sergeant WaANoUAM entering the room stated, that in conse-
quence of the decision to which the Committee had come yesterday
his clients would withdraw their opposition.
Their Lordships then went through the clauses, and the report was
ordered to brought up.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP LX 11.

SOUTH EASTERN (WATERLOO-33RIXIGB
EXTENSION).
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
This case was then gone into. The object of the Bill was to make
a railway from Waterloo-road to the Greenwich Railway at Lotulen-
bridge-street, not so much with a view of augmenting the returns of
the South-Eastern as for accommodating thepublic. The line would
commence at a point on the Greenwich line where it crossed the
Grand Surrey Canal, drop into the Bricklayers' Arms branch, and
then extend on to Waterloo-bridge. The whole tenth of the line was
four miles, but only a mile and a half would pass through what was
called house property.
Several witnesses were called to prove the advantages of the pro-
posed extension.
Mr. Rogerson, surveyor, estimated the cost of property on the line
at 361,3021, including stations. The terminus and approach from
Waterloo-bridge would cost 174,7451. There were 815 houses
scheduled for thea entire line.

Mr. Bidder detailed the engineering features of the line. His
estimate was 640,3021.

The Committee adjourned shortly after four o'clock.

GROUP LXIX.

This Committee re-assernblelito•day,ilir. Baring in the chair, and

branch was very well suited to the town, and that gradients for two

branch and a central line.
Mr. Locke, engineer, was examined, and stated that the two

for a eentral communication, were objectionable, and points of di-
vergence better suited to the district, and at a less expense, might
be obtained.

THE SUGAR DUTIES.

Lord G. BENTINCK said—Sir, I beg to give notice that,
, on the motion for your leaving the chair on Friday next on
the question of the sugar duties, it is my intention to move,
as an amendment, that, " In the present depressed state of
the sugar cultivation in our British East and West India
possessions, the proposed reduction of duty upon foreign
slave-grown sugar is alike unjust and impolitic, as it tends
to check the advance of production by British free labour,
and gives an additional stimulus to the slave trade."
Mr. C. BERKELEY said that he understood that the
Noble Lord the Member for the City of London had expe-
rienced a domestic calamity, which caused some doubt as to
whether he would be able to attend the House on Friday.
He wished to ask his night Hon. Friend (Sir G. Grey), if in
case of the Noble Lord's absence, it was the intention of the
Government to proceed with the sugar question on that day?
Sir G. GREY said he had received an intimation from his
Noble Friend, that from the cause referred to by the Hon.
Member, he should be unable to attend the House as to-
day. He was not aware whether the Noble Lord
could attend on Friday, but if he did he would proceed
with the question of the sugar duties. To-morrow he (Sir G.
Grey) would be better able to inform the House whether the
Noble Lord would attend in his place on Friday.
Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY then gave notice that at
an early period he would renew his motion, " That an humble
address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to
withdraw her consent to the placing of the statue of the
Duke of Wellington upon the archway at the top of Con-
stitution-hill."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales. Shares were steady.
The following report on the state of the weather, &c., is
from Ceylon:—" While on the continent of India our neigh-
bours are complaining that the few partial showers which
had occurred are insufficient to allay the apprehensions of
dearth raised by a previous drought of six months' duration,
the S.W. monsoon has burst with more than ordinary force
on the southern portion of Ceylon. At Colombo more rain
has fallen within the last fortnight than fell in the same
period for very many years; and the results have been
several land slips, and the tumbling down of sundry houses
and walls. The wind has blown down a few trees in the
neighbourhood of Colombo, and a great many valuable
bread-fruit, cocoanut, and other fruit trees have been de-
stroyed at Galle, and on the southern coast generally. We
hope the eastern and northern provinces have not been
passed over in the late down-pourings.
" We regret to learn that some coffee estates in the interior
are infested by a species of insects well known in the West
India Islands as being not a little injurious to the plants.
They have already extended their ravages from Kandy up to
Puselava. We hope soon to learn that the creatures are not
destructive enough to he of any consequence, or that means
have been discovered of arresting their progress."
There is no particular alteration in the Money Market,
and the rate of interest continues steady, without
the probability of its being acted upon in any other
way than by the mere force of demand,— that is
to say, the Bank of England will no doubt act as a free
competitor with the other moneved establishments in the City.
The Stock Market is very fiat again, and there is a de-
cline of 1h per cent. in the quotations, money bargains
having been effected at 954 34, and time transactions at
95% %. Exchequer-bills have realised Ils. to 15s. pre-
mium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been
974 to 1/2, and the Three per Cents. 95% 54.. Bank Stock
has been less firm at 2071/ to 2081,x.
The Foreign Investments are heavy. Spanish Five per
Cents. realise 243/4, Portuguse Four per Cents. 46, and
Mexican, -26. Dutch Two. and-a-Half per Cents. have
realised 59%. .
Shares are in most instances again flat, both the old lines
and scrips being affected. Foreign scrip is in some respects
not quite so flat as yesterday.

LANCASHIRE AMALGAMATION.

Mr. Sergeant Wrang im and 17. r Brandt appeared be' alf o
this Bit', the ohjoct et which was to effect an amalgamation-between the
Blacithurti and Preston and East Lacashire bees. There were tw•o
petitions .iguinst the Bill. but they were not appeared on by counsel,
and consequently the Bill was unopposed.
Some slight evidence was taken as to the nature of the amalgama-
tion, when the Committee declared the preamble of the Bill to be
proved.
SRI:ST.OZ AND ZIRICINGNAZIL AND
MIDLAND.

This Bill, the object of which is to amalgamate the 'Bristol and Bir-
mingham line of railway with the Midland Counties, was next pro-
ceeded with. . .

The Great Western Company appeared against the 11111.
Mr. LONG briefly opened the case on behalf of the 13111, when the
examination of witnesses was proceeded with.
When the examination of the first witness was proceeding with,
a question was raised about the right of Mr Austin to appear on
behalf of the Great Western Company, which led to a discussion on
the point. At the close of it,
Mr. AUSTIN said he appeared against the Bill, solely to pro'ect the
interests of the Great Western Company, by securing that the
Gloucester and Bristol Company should maintain the present broad
gauge communication with the Great Western Company at
and between the points of Stonehouse and Bristol. Ile was
quite willing to withdraw his opposition to th's Bill, if the promoters
would insert a clause lie had drawn up, which he begged leave to
state was in accordance with the recent report of the Board of Trade
and Lord Dalhousie's resolutions adopted by their Lordships' nous,.
The Learned Gentleman then read the clause, which was in effect
that in the event of the amalgamation being agreed to, the united
company should be bound to maintain intact the present broad gauge
communication at and between Stonehouse and Bristol.

After a consultation, Mr. LONG on behalf of the promoters of the
Bill, intimated that he could not consent to-the clause in ifuestion.
Mr. ArSTIN said, in that case he would go back to his original
position, and oppose the preamble of the Bill.
The Committee considered that he had a right to do so, and the
examination of witnesses was proceeded with,
Mr. Saunders, the Secretary of the Bristol and Birmingham Rail-
way, was first examined. Ills evidence went to show that a unity of
management would tend greatly to facilitate the efficient working
of the line.

Cross-examined—The Midland Company had already 200 miles
of railway under its controy and the present Bill would Ole them
50 miles more. The Bristol and Gloucester. Company had applied
to the Great Western Company for increased accommodation fur
their traffic to Stonehouse and Bristol, which had been acceded to.
Considerable works were in progress for that purpose.
On the termination of this witness's cross-examination,
Mr. LANG said, that upon re-consideration he was willing to stme
the time of the Committee by accepting Mr. Austin's clause.
The preamble of the Bill was afterwards declared to be proved.

POLISH CONFISCATIONS.
.____

Lord LANSDOWNE stated, in reference to a ques-
tion put by his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord
Brougham), in reference to the unfortunate circum-
stances which had occurred in Poland, that .he
had informed himself on the subject of the
Learned Lord's question, and found that no in-
fi)rmation had been received from the Austrian
Government. But authentic information had been re
c-ivied by her Majesty's Government from time to time,
and from that information it appeared that the Austrian
Government had every disposition to leniency. lie
(Lord Lansdowne) could only say that if any one had
been involuntarily involved in the unfortunate occur-
rences that had taken place in Poland, he had no doubt
but that the Austrian Government would do them
reasonable justice.

Lord BROUGHAM expressed his gratification atitbe
Information he had received, and strongly condemned
;he Polish insurrection.

CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL.
Lord LYNDHURST intimated that ho had met
with the Right Reverend Prelate who interposed
at a previous stage of this Bill, and they had gained one
or two amendments, and he now asked the house to go

This Committee re-assembled to-day in room 24 (Grand Corridor);
present, Sir George Clerk (in the chair), Colonel Peel, Mr. Tower,
and Mr. Smythe.
DUBLIN AND ENNISKILLEN.

The evidence on the part of thin Bill was resumed, Mr. Robert
Stephenson, the engineer-in-chief of the line being the first witness.
The gradients, he said, were remarkably favourable. The estimated
cost of the line from Navan to Bells was 83,8391., from Naval) to
_Newtown. Butler, 106,4071., and of the Belturbet 25,2581., making a
total (exclusive of the cost of the land and stations) of 275,5041. The
land required for the line would cost 30,0001.
Mr. Joseph Fisher, next gave traffic evidence, which closed the
case for the promoters.

Mr. MURPHY, Q.C., said he appeared on behalf of the Dublin, Bel-
fast, and Coleraine Junction, and certain landowners on the line be
tween Navan and Bells, ai,d was about to call evidence against this
line, when

Mfr. Sergeant MURPHY contended that his Learned Friend had no
locus standi on behalf of the Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine Junctio.l,
merely on the ground that it was a rival of this line. The Committee
had no right to inquire into any points of comparison with any other
line.

Mr. Melina contended that he had a perfect right to appear on
behalf of the Dublin and Belfast Company.
It appearing that that Company had dissolved,
The Committee said that they would postpone hearing counsel on
behalf of it, but Mr. Murphy might proceed to tender evidenee on
behalf of the landowners tor whom he appeared.
Mr. R. It. MooaE said, he appeared on behalf of the North Mid-
land, which Company he admitted was taking steps to wind up
their affairs.

The Committee said, that the same remarks as had been made
with respect to the Dublin and Belfast Company would also apply to
the North Midland.

Mr. MURPHY then called Sir Wm. Somerville, M.P. for Drogheda,
after whom

Mr. Ralph Smith, merchant, Drogheda, was called and examined
by Mr. MocatE, who appeared in conjunction with Mr. Murphy for
some of the landowners along the line.

The Committee adjourned at Four o'clock until Twelve to-morrow

50,0001., without in any way detracting from the advantage of the
line, and called upon the Committee to adopt this deviation.
Mr. Nichol, &surveyor ofLearnington, corroborated this statement.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Laing with respect to
severs; inaccuracies In the sections et the deviated line, which, he
held, were fatal to it, and that it could not be made. It appeared
there was a mistake of 10 feet in the levels, a gradient of 26 chains
, being marked 1 in 104, insUad oft in 114.
Mr. Daffy, an engineer and surveyor, admitted the mistake, and
also that such a mistake would, in many Instances, prove fatal to
the undertaking.
Mr. Olding, an engineer, said, assuming the section correct, that the
line was practicable.
Mr. Stanley said his rent was 4501. a year, and that the line would
not touch the hotel, bat would run aeroes his farm within 20 yards
of it.

Mr. Hti.Driatm contended that the case was simply one of com-
pensation ; and after some discussion, a clause was agreed to, that

THE MURDER AT DAGF.NITAM.—LATEST PARTICU-
Lass.—Daarsuan, TUESDAY EYENING.—Since the issuing of the
reward by the Government for the apprehension of the murderers of
the unfortunate man Clark, the utmost vigilance has been used in
endeavouring to trace out the guilty parties ; but up to last evening
no no one had been apprehended, nor ie it likely thatll any person will,
until after the inquest is resumed. On Monday r. Superintendent
Pearce, of the F division, with Inspector Richardson, of the K divi-
sion, and the active officers of the detective police, were busily
engaged in watching, the parties who are suspected of the crime, in
hopes of obtaining some clue to the murderer, in consequence of the
bills offering the reward being extensively placarded in and around
rd,
Dagenhem. Rointl Ilford. &c. &c. On the first assembling or
'
the jury it will be recollected that 31r. Colin, the surgeon, of
Rumford, in giving hi, evidence, described the extensive wounds
in the throat to have been indicted, with some sharp doulble-
edged instrument. After the adjournment Inspector Colston pall
a ,lilt to the residence of some of the persons suspected, and
among other things they discovered a sword and a stiletto, or
Spanish knife, the iatter having a sharp double edge, which they tsok
possession of, telling the parties that they should produce them
before the coroner. On the re-assembling of the jury Colston was
not In attendance, and it will be remembered that when the inquest
was over, an application was made by a man named Young to the
coroner to have theca things given up to him, which was refused.
Before the inquest was concluded, the coroner said that the body
would be most likely exhumed for the purpose, as we learn, of allow-
ing Dr. Colin to examine the wounds, and to say whether the
weapon in question could have caused such wounds. In conseqnence
of the evidence given at the adjourned inquest, tending to throw
suspicion on Sergeant Parsons, and also to the effect that he had
been guilty of neglecting nis duty, a minute Investigation was gene
into respecting his cenduct before Mr. Superintendent Pearce, and
subsequently before the superintendent of the K division, Mr. Mac-
guard, and the result was, that he had performed his duty properly,
and that not the slightest suspicion could Attach to him.
