NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE AND CARLILSE BRANCI
RAILWAY.
(Continued from our Afternoon_ Edition.)

After a few words from Mr. A. SMITH,

Mr. MUNTZ said, if they were to throw out the Bill on
account of the alleged fraud-, they would be inflicting a great
hardship on the shareholders, who were not parties to the abuse
complained of.
The geery was then cleared for a division, when there ap-
peared= _ _

The House again divided on Mr. J. A. Smith's amendment
" That the House do not agree to the Lords' amendments,'
when there appeared—

For die amendment
Against it
Majority against the amendment.— .--20
The Lords' amendments were then agreed to.
GLASGOW COLLEGE ESTATE BILL.
Mr. GIBSON CRAIG moved that, in the case of Mae-
farlan's (Glasgow College) Estate Bill, the standing orders
Nos. 120 and 139 be suspended, and the report be now con-
sidered, amended prints of the Bill having been delivered to
the doorkeepers, and the amended breviate laid upon the
table, on Tuesday last.
51r. WARBURTON complained of the college property
being taken without proper compensation being given. He
thought this matter ought to have been brought under the
consideration of the Lords of the Treasury, and have their
sanction.

Mr. GIBSON CRAIG thought the best course would be to
take any discussion on the measure in the next stage of the
Bi.l. The Bill had received the sanction of the law officers of
both the late and the present Gov.Toment.

Mr. J. OSWALD did not complain of the professors wishing
to part with the present buildings, so as to get a snore eligible
site for themselves. He did not, however, think that a fair
price was guaranteed by the raiiway company for the build-
ings. He was quite sure that if the buildings were put up for
auction they would bring at least 20,0001., instead of
3,0001., as proposed.
Mr. FOX MAULE said the objections he had had to the
Bill had been removed by the clause which was to be proposed
on the third reading. Ile' considered the best possible price
should be obtained for the old buildings, and he should have
been better satisfied if some proper party was called in to value
the property ere it was parted with.
Mr. PROTHEROE stated that evidence adduced before
the Committee shoved that it would be much to the advantage
of the professors and students if the college were removed Iron
the centre of the city to the suburbs. The faculty t f the col-
lege certainly were a,raid that if the Bill was passed without
restricting the railway company not to apply the present
buildings to any ed,cateit,al purpose, they would
suffer from c.impet lion. The Bill, therefore, was passed with
that restriction through Committee. Now, however, it seemed
that a clause was to be ii.tretuot d annulling, that restrict lee,
so that the bunding,, might be apt,li-d for another college ,
still he hoped that, if this was agreed to, 'he railway company
would act honourably in the matter in the use they vtould
make of the buildings.
After some further diseussi, n the motion was agreed to.
