SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

ST. LAWRENCE AND ATLANTIC
RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY).
A special meeting of t'ae scripholders in this Company
took place this day, at tie George and Vulture Tavern, to
consider a communication received from the directors in
Canada. It appears that the English shareholders are
anxious that the concern should be wound up, while the
Canadians are determined to carry out the objects for which
the Company was formed.
An intimation having been conveyed to the Canadian
directors of the wishes of the English shareholders, that body
replied that they were very sorry that they were unable to
comply with the wishes of those anxious to wind up the
concern ; and they advised that the shareholders should take
measures to have themselves represented at a meeting to be
held in Montreal next month.
Several of the shareholders repudiate 'd the Canadian directors,
and said that they would hold the, provisional committee re-
sponsible to there, for it was unt3„:,r the strength of their names
that they had been induced to take shares; while the pro-
visional committee said that, they were only acting in a minis-
terial capacity, and not ae.countable for the winding up of the
concern, and were conse'vently unable to return the deposits.
The meeting broke in) without coming to any formal reso-
lution. It appears that the deposits were 41. a share, and
that the shares, i•astead of being allotted to the number of
47,000, aswas pat forward in the prospectus, had been limited
to 7,000.

PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition praying
for the establishment of public baths and washheuses.
VENTILATION OF THE HOUSES OF PARLIA-

MENT.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that with their
Lordships' permission he would postpone the motion of which
he had given notice on this subject, because he had reason to
believe, from his Noble Friend and relative at the head of the
Woods and Forests, that to-morrow he would be in possession
of the report in reference to the question of warming and ven-
tilating the House. He was sure that it would be quite satis-
factory to their Lordships ; and before they adopted an address
to the Crown on this subject, it would be at least proper to
learn what was the decision of the Committee. With
their Lordship? permission, therefore, he should postpone the
motion of which he had given notice till to-morrow.

TAW VALE EXTE AISION

The whole of the morning was occupied with general traffic evi-
dence in favour or the line.
Mr. William Richard Neale, the g,ntleman who laid odt the line
under the direction of Mr. Locke, proved that the lin.. war tree from
engineering difficulties. The steepest gradient was lin 85, and the
sharpest curve was 30 challis radius Th re were three tunnels, hut
no heavy embankment. or viaducts. The details of his estimate
were as : —Ladd, 34,4001. ; road, 161,593/. ; tunnels, 69,5201.;
masonry, 68.449/. ; permanent road, 93,0001.; electric telegraph,
5 2501. , stet 0n5„15,0001..;.and sidings, 50,11001. ; mak.ng a total of
497,2 • 2/. The length of the line crossing the existing Taw Vale and
the Exeter and Crediton, from. Barnstaple to Exeter, would be 38
milts. It would afford great accommodation to the dis,ziets Vrough
which it passed, ant prove amply reinune.ative to the shareholders.
Attar hearing several witnesses who acre called on behalf of the
opposition to this line, the Comm.ttee adjourned.

strict the Oxford and Rugby line on the narrow-gaugc line though
projected as a broad gauge line, and also to lay down the nattow
gauge on lines communicating between that line and others, but this
could only be done with respect to the Southampton and Midland
lines. They had a large tra&c in fat cattle going to Southall and
other markets. .

By Mr. GIIENET.—During the last year, during whic'i new por-
tions of the line were opened, the passenger traffic had greeatly in-
creased. This, in a great measure, was to be attributed to the
diminution of fares and return tickets.
By the Committee—Because there were several hundreds of miles
laid down on the narrow gauge, and only 274 on the broad, that was
no reason why the broad, which, he considered, whether for speed
and cheapness, was far superior, should be stifled. He believed the
broad gauge would beat the narrow " hollow" any day. With
respect to the petition of carriers praying for an Uniform gauge pre-
sented to the House of Commons, who, he considered, knew more of
their own business than that of a railway, he said they did not
charge thentr:Jr heavy trucks, its stated, if they had as light trucks as
those Cu the narrow gauge, and take the goods from them
and placed them in whatever trucks the Company thought
best adapted for the occasion, and without any difference
of change. By laying down the narrow gauge also from Oxford to
Basingstoke, a narrow gauge communication with the
m north would
be effected, and the requirements of the district fully et. But if
they did go to the expense of laying down the narrow gauge they
ought not to have their traffic diverted as proposed by thelVanchester
and Southampton, which he considered would not be a remu-
nerative line. He considered they could do the business
better for the public by the proposed line. Of course, if they did not
study the interests of the public the public would not patronise the
line ; but he considered the Great Western directors would not
change their nature if they lost sight of the wants of the public, and
forfeited their patronage.
Adjourned until eleven o'cloet to-morrow.

though no ,ection of the same had been deposited, which he suti-

Lordshlps' house.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that if the railway had been from the Ox-
ford and Rugby line to Banbury, the promoters might have had a
case, notwithstanding the deviation from the Parliamentary levels.
But they deviated from the levels to effect a junction, for which they
did not take power to their BM.

ference to a question put to him yesterday, put in the following

AND SOUTHPORT.

The case for and against the Bill having been concluded,

Mr. Sergeant KiNostaxE addressed the Committee at great length
in support of the line. which, he contended, was superior to the other
lines before the Committee, and afforded a larger amount of public
accommodation, at the least possible expense.

After Sergeant KINGLAKZ had addressed the Committee,
Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS replied In support of the Liverpool, Orms•
kirk, and Preston Railway. The Learned Sergeant's address occu•

LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH DIRECT,

Several witnesses were examined, whose evidence went to show
the want of railway accommodation in the district through which the
tine imposes to pass.
Further witnesses were examined on behalf of the London, New-
bury, and Bath Direct Railway.
The Committee adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

GROUP VIII.

The Committee met at the usual hour this morning. Sir William
Clay in the chair.

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION.

Mr. Miller, the engineer. was called to prove that it would be
highly inexpedient to construct the proposed line. The whole of the
day, in fact, was taken up with evidence of this sort.

GROUP XVII.

MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON.

The Committee met at the usual hour. The lion. E. Yorke In the
chair.

---- -
The cross-examination of Mr. Locke, the engineer of the South
Western, was continued—He was first examined with respect to
Lacey's and Bethel's line, to boils of which he was consulting engi-
neer, and which were projected to traverse nearly the same route
as the Manchester and Southampton, but they were both thrown out
by the standing Orders' Committee. He had no recollection of
naving signed the estimates of either of the lines, neither
had he surveyed them. He had signed a hundred esti-
mates during the year, and could not recollect every
case. Engineers did not pledge themselves to lines which
they were simply called to survey. It was a professional
matter. Mr. Lacey was chairman of the South Western at
the time his line was brought out. He admitted the
Manchester and Southampton was four miles shorter than
Lacey's line between Romney and AL.a.rlborough. Had surveyed
a line for the South Western from Basingstoke, Marlbough to
Swindon, the plans of which were depend ted. The getting of com-
munication to north and south of this lie e was not a " great object "
in its projection ; the object, no doubt, wSts to connect the district, of
which Basingstoke was the centre, witlf Swindon and Bristol on the
one hand and Cheltenham on the other. ii shad been over the country
between Swindon and Southampton, so 11 tat he was acquainted with
it. Woulel not recommend that the narrow gauge should be added
to broad gauge lines ; the principle migh t be adopted on short lines,
but it would be dangerous and inexpedi4n t on long lines.
London, England, 1846-06-26

GROUP XXXII I.

The Committee met to-day at twefve o'clock, in Room No. 24,
(Grand Corridor). Present, Sir Robert Ferguson, (Chairman,) the
Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollett, and Mr.
Fellowes.

They resumed the hearing of the evid trice in the case of the War-
wickshire and London Railways (three 1 in es).

WORCESTER, AND. WEEDON.
HAMPTON AND ItANBITTLY.
HAMPTON AND .4.:SHCHURCH.

According to the previous understand the evidence against the
lines was taken, in favour of the compelibig railway, the

BIRMINGHAM AND OZZ'ORD 317NCTION.
Mr. Brunel, engineer of the Great Weatarn Railway, and also of this
line (which is in connexion with it), was first called, and examined
' by Mr. WAKELY—IIe stated that the lanes comprehending the Bir-
mingham and Oxford Junction would amount to about 120 miles,
and the cast was estimated at about 1,400.,0001. The length of three
lines of the Warwickshire and London rai iways would be about 160
miles. If both the competing series of lines were constructed, the
cost would be about 3,000,0001. By the ,construction of the Birming-
ham and Oxford Junction Railway, acco ormodation would be afforded
to every important place in the districts included in the
two rival projects now before this Commdt tee. In fact, there would
be no point, certainly no village of any note within that
which would be twelve miles distant front a railway. The increased
accommodation would be of very great .advantage to the coal and
iron districts, and the Potteries. It wotald complete the connexion of
those places with the southern and twat ern ports, as well as the
latter with the north and east. There -were no engineering diffi-
culties. The gradients were much the s Artie as those upon the Great
Western to Bristol. The latter railway had good levels, and admitted
of very high speeds. This gentleman Ulan went in minute detail
through a cewparison of the rival projocits, in every part of their
course, and at every point of their corm maim, with existing or con-
templated lines. His statementwas, of course, exceedingly luminous,
and seemed to be satisfactory as well as i niteresting to the Committee.
It was too much extended, and too de.ts tiled, to be fully reported.
He considered the accommodation which 'would be afforded by his
lines would be much superior to that which would be given by the
three proposed lines in connexion with the London and Birmingham,
under the general name of the Warwiclts hire and London Railway.
There was one of these, the Hampton wad Banbury, for which he
could see no reason whatever to justify the expense. These lines
would greatly augment the traffic of the London and Birmingham,
which was avowedly so excessive already that the Company declared
they were not able to carry it in an effichent manner.
Mr. ALEXANDER who opposed the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion, on the part of the Earl of Warwick,. and thirty-nine other gen-
tlemen, cross-examined Mr. Brunel, as to the interference of the
proposed lines with some of the Noble Itarra property, and that of
the other petitioners.
