LETTER FROM TnE EARL OF AUCKLAND TO LORD

London July 4; 1846
My Lord,—The accompanying address' was vot d .by
the inhabitants of Calcutta, and transmitted to mee and
to the gentlemen whose names are appended to this note,
fur the purpose of being laid before your Lordship.
We will not propose to intrude upon your Lordship,
now suffering unhappily from severe illness, but we
have a melancholy satisfaction in sending the address,
and in assuring your Lordship that, from our hearts, we
participate in the feelings of sympathy and of affectionate
respect by which it has been dictated.
I am. with strong feelings of regard, your Lordship's
most faithful servant, AUCKLAND.
The Lord Metcalfe, G.C.8., &c.
Names of the Committee :—Earl of' Auckland, the
Right Hon. Sir Edward Ryan, the Right Hon. Holt

jor-General Galloway, C.B. ; Major-General Duncan

ADDRESS FROM THE INHABITANTS OF CALCUTTA TO

LORD METCALF%
My Lord—The completion of an edifice in this city,
bearing your Lordship's name, and erected in honour
of your virtues, and of your public services in India, and
the placing therein of your Lordship's bust, are events
which we would fain celebrate, by renewing those ex-
pressions of attachment and respect which we addressed
to you when we joined in the design of a building, to
become a memorial of our high estimation of your cha-
racter, to bear the name of " The Metcalfe Hall," and
to contain the chambers appropriated to the reception of
our public library, and to the sittings and proceedings
of the Agricultural Society of India.
You were eminently endeared to India by a career of
conspicuous virtues and public service, which pene-
trated all classes of the community with admiration and
esteem.

The evidence on the part of this Bill was rearmed, 11fr. 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 Navan to
Newtown Butler, 106,4071., and of the Belturbot 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.
31r. Joseph Fisher, next gave traffic evidence, which closed the
case for the promoters.
