NEWVATZ AND LEADENHALL.
Since this day se'nnlght the arrivals of slaughtered Meat up to
these markets, from Scotland and most parts of England, have been
on a moderate scale, but of very superior quality, compared with
those of many former seasons. The supplies killed in the metro-
polis have been by no means extensive, yet the general demand to-
day was inactive, and last week's quotations were with difficulty
supported. Several carcases of foreign Beasts have been again dis-
posed of. _ .

On our re-admission,
Thd Cl/AMMAN said the Committee had decided to enter into the
merits of opposed Bills only, and to re: er all unopposed Bills to the
Chairman of Wayi gild Means. They wou:ft wish to ascertain what
Bills were opposed and Whitgiwere not, and NN-,ere also desirous that
the Learned Gentlemen would arrange among t;
.arrange the order
in which the Bills should be taken,
gthose who
The following are the Bills in the Group, distingiti.!Nn

Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge (unapposed).

posed..
Glasgow Southern Terminal (opposed).

West 01 Scotland Junction.
After some conversation, it was agreed that the Committee should
take the Edinburgh and Glasgow Amendment and Branches first in
order, as being the least opposed, there being only one petition against
it, signed by by Mr. Denny, a gentleman, residing at Port Dund..s,
near Glasgow, and 15 others. Messrs. Austin, Talbot, and M'Neile
appeared for the Bill, and 2rlessis. Hope and Forsyth for the pe-
titioners.
Mr lii`Neile briefly opened the case for the Bill, stating that there
were three objects to be sought, first, a branch to connect the main
line with the Queensferry on the Frith of Forth, six miles and a half
in length. Second, a deviation to avoid two sharp curves in a branch
for which a Bill was obtained last session to connect the main line
with the south side of the Clyde ; and third, a branch line from Port
Dundas at the Forth and Clyde Canal Basin, down to the
river Clyde. The latter was the only opposed portion.
it was opposed by Mi. Denny, a distiller, and fifteen or sixteen
others, who had signed the petition on the allegation that the branch
would run along the towing path of the canal, between the distillery
and their several works and the basin of the canal, thereby inter-
ferinp with the communication between the works of the petitioners
and the navigation.

Mr. Miller, civil engineer, was first examined, and having briefly
given evidence on the unopposed portions of the Bill, deposed as to
the opposed branch. It was in his opinion the best that could
be devised to serve the traffic of the canal and railway.
It went through a small portion of the distillery, and in front of seve-
ral of the works at l'ort Dundas. As the branch would he worked
by horse power, he did rot think there would be much, if any, in-
convenience to these works in closing the line of rails. It has to be
a single line of rail, and the horses, he believed, would not move
beyond a walking pace.
In cross-examination, the witness gave it as his deeided opinion,
that the north side of the canal, on which the branch was proposed
to be constructed, was the one best adapted for all the purposes
sought; and that very little, if any, inconvenience would accrue to
the petitioners from its construction. The branch would be of the
greatest service in bringing goods from the canal down to tile
Broomielaw harbour, and in taking minerals from off the railway
on to the canal.
