GROUP XIV.

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual hour
this morubig in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Mr. Protheroe in the
chair.

NORTH SENT LINE.

The cross-examination of 3lr. Vignoles, the engineer of this line.
was resumed by Mr. Austin, on lioehalf of the South-Eastern Com-
pany. He proposed that trains should run every half hour for
Gravesend, and every two hours for Dover. He had fixed no station
yet at Greenhithe, nor had he yet fixed upon a station at Graves •
end, owing to the difference of opinion which prevailed
there on the subject. The South-Eastern line was nearer to Greenhithe
than his own, but it was not nearer to Gravesend. From Gravesend
to Rochester there was a gradient for two miles of 1 in 142. The
difference of level between the high water mark at Rochester and
the level of the level of the rails there was about 17 feet 3 inches.
With respect to that portion of the line which lies near to Faversham,
he should certainly prefer the straight line, which avoided the town,
but, of course, it was for the Committee to say whether the import-
ance of the town of Faversham justified the adoption of the alterna.
tive line which ran through the town. There would be a tram-road
from the line to the Faversham quays, with gradients of 1 in 38, 1 in
28, and 1 in 17, but there was no section to connect it with
the alternative line. The distance of the straight line from the
gunpowder mills would be about 185, and the tram-road about 300
yards. The length of the line ftom Boughton to Harbourdown, was
five miles, the tunnel was 1,500 yards, or a little more than three-
quarters of a mile, and either side there was half a mile of mixed
deep and shallow cutting, the average depth was 50 feet, and deepest
depth 80 feet; the cost of this portion of the work would be 160,0001.
This calculation was made in anticipation of finding the Boughton
hill consisted of a particular kind of sand, 101. per cent. would per-
haps have to be added if the stratum was found to be of London
clay. The price of the tunneling would be about 701. the yard, in-
cluding contingencies. The Deal and Dover trains, he proposed to
work from the Canterbury station, that was a train leaving Deal
and Dover stations would arrive at the point ofjunction where theline
forked off and be drawn into Canterbury and on to Chatham by one
engine. Further on beyond Canterbury the Ramsgate and Margate
carriages would be hooked on behind the Deal carriages, and so
carried on to Chatham, and thence to the metropolis. The line be-
tween Canterbury and Deal would only be five miles shorter than
the South-Eastern, but the line ought to be taken in the aggregate,
and then it shortened the distance between the metropolis and Deal
by tenor twelve miles. The maximum gradient on the line was 1
in 132, while the rise between Lewisham and Woolwich was 100
feet. The work this year was more expensive than that which he
proposed last year, but he bad made it so in deference to an opi-
nion expressed by the Committee which sat last year.

MENT AND ERANCEES.

The CIIAIRMAN gaVe the decision on this Bill, which was, that the
preamble of the Bill was pro'ed, with the exception of that portion
relating to the Port Dundee branch, which was ordered to be
struck out.

The clauses of the Bill, with the exception of those relating to the
rejected portion, were then read ; and, after several unimportant
amendments, passed.
The report was then agreed to, and the Cha,rman instructed to
present it to the House that evening.
Mr. Robson, civil engineer, called and examined by Mr. HOPE—
He surveyed, in last autumn, for a line to connect the Pollee
and Govan, the Glasgow and Ayr, and Glasgow and Greenock
joist line, and the Barrhead and Nellston Railways. It was
to be connected with these lines by three branches. The heaviest
gradients were one ascending one of one in 104, and a descending one
of one in seventy. The shortes cure was twelve chains radius. The
other miaeral lines around Glasgow had worse engineering difficulties
than these. It was superior in this respect to the two competing
lines, both of which bad severer curves and gradients. The Grand
Junction scheme was too high up the harbour, and interfered with
house property and feued land ; and the Mineral Harbour was too
low, being two miles from Glasgow-bridge. Both these lines were
also longer, while the latter would give very imperfect accommoda-
tion to the Lanark coal fields in the east of the city. His estimate of
the general terminus was—for works, 51,216/. 13s. Bd. ; for land,
50,3581, 10s. ; contingencies, 10,1571. Both the other schemes were
much inferiorly situated to this. It possessed a medium to accommo-
date the harbour well, and also to avoid the general traffic of the
river. The opposing lines were not only longer, but connected with
the southern lines in an inferior manner.

Cross-examined by Mr. MONTEITIT on behalf of the Harbour
Mineral No house property would be interfered with by the
General Terminus. The locomotives were to be brought within
fifty yards of the harbour, and there unyoked and used to push the
waggons gently behind along the quay. His estimates included
land for a depot.
Mr. Sergeant Refaasts cross-examined this witness, with the
object of showing tha t the Grand Junction would not interfere so
much with house property as had been represented, but no point
different from the e3:amination in chief was elicited. He admitted
that the Grand Junction would join the Polloc and Govan some-
what nearer Glasgow than the General Mineral. This would also be
the case in reference, to the joint line of the Ayr and Greenock
Railways.

With respect to that portion of the line which lies near to Faversham,
ho should certainl3• prefer the straight line, which avoided the town,
but, of course, it w, as for the Committee to say whether the import-

At a meeting of the Deputitlon held in London, the 9th April,
1845, it was unanimously agreed—
That in the fullest confidence that the arrangement entered into
between Mr. French and Mr. Perry will 1541 carried out by both
gentlemen and the Companies they represent, as well as all those by
whom they are supported, or with whom they are' connected to the--

Mr. Sergeant WitANGFILM addressed the Committee in I ehalf of

construction which had been put upon the contract mentioned by
his Learned Friend. He trusted the Committee would not sanction
a breach of contract ; but what his Learned Friend had stated was
entirely a mistaken view of the whole case as between his clients
and the Dublin an Galway Company, and this he would show to
their Lordships before he concluded his address.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1846.

It has been generally observed that a strong Opposition is
for the good of the country. At the present moment, it must
be confessed, that, numerically—for want of cementing princi-
plea, or by reason of circumstances peculiar to the era in
which we live, preventive of that union between various
s ections who are presumed to be generally adverse to the
Government—the country is without the benefit of a strenuous
Opposition. Nevertheless—though, for the reason stated, the
power of resistance likely to be
presented against the Ministry
is but limited—yet, in point of talent, it will be acknow-
ledged that the country possesses in the ranks of the opponents
e
to the servants of the Crown a salutary check upon the
ercise of that power which is ever within the reach of the
Government, and which, without some such controlling in_
nuence, would be highly dangerous to the valuable privi-
leges under which we have the happiness to live. It is our
good fortune that, in the absence of any organised system
of opposition to the Administration of the day, we are re-
lieved from any apprehension of suffering under such weak-
ness, by being justified in reposing great confidence in the
integrity, skill, and vast experience of the first Minister of the
Crown; and, on the other hand, this confidence is by no means
diminished by a sense of the highly honourable feelings whirl
uniformly actuate the mind and conduct of his chief politica
opponent. Lord J. Itcssar.L, having failed to form a Ca.
binet, notwithstanding that he had the assurance of Sir It.
PEEL, that in his capacity of a private Member of Par-
liament, he should not be wanting in his utmost support
to carry out the measures loudly called for by the novel and
melancholy position of Ireland on the one one side, and the
voice of public opinion on the other, now bears his
part nobly, in reeiprccating a statesmanlike generosity
and aiding, to the best of his ability, the laudable endea-
yours of the reinstated Cabinet to ea;sctuate much measures
s are strictly and urgentiv demanded by the state of the
common weal, both local and general. In this view we yes-
terday recognised with satisfaction the animus with which,
by deferring his motion respecting Ireland until after
the recess, Lord J. lltissELL exhibited himself as a faithful
and honourable helpmate of those whose energies are, under
most trying circumstances, devoted to the public welfare.

DAWSON V. PAVER AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Watson, Mr. Cowling, and Mr.-Albeiton, for the
plaintiff; Mr. Baines, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Tomlinson,
and Mr. H. Hill for the defendants.-
The lands in question are situate in the neighbourhood of
Selbi-, and the property of Mr. Dawson, whose mansion is
at digabv. There is an immense mass of evidence in the
cause, which would not terminate to-day, and may probably
continue throughout to-morrow, if not into the next day.
CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
John Atkinson, James Ella, and Christopher Wilson, were
charged, for that they, on the 9th of February last, at
Heworth, in the North Riding; did feloniously and bur-
glariously break into and enter the dwelling-house of Wm.
Vitty, and steal therein five silver tea-spoons, one pair of
silver sugar-tongs, and one half-crown, his property.
Mr. Dearsley conducted the prosecution, and the prisoners
were severally defended by Mr. Temple, Mr. Otter, and Mr.
0 verend.
It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor, who is
a farmer living in Stockton-lane, and his wife, are very old
people, having no other •persons dwelling in their house than
a young man named George Vitty, their nephew, and their
grandchild, a little girl of about eleven. The family retired
to rest at' about ten at night, when all the doors wire safe.
But about midnight Mrs. Vitty heard a noise like knocking
against a wall, and the dog barked. All was still again after
some time, and the old lady again fell asleep. But at about
an hour and a half later, she was awoke by one of the pri-
soners approaching the bed in which she and her husband
lay. The prisoners all came into their room, and, the pro-
secutor having raised himself in bed, one of them, having a
gun in his hand, belonging to Mr. Vitty, which the party
had found in the house, threatened to blow out his brains.
They afterwards when into the room of the nephew, and into
that of the little girl. Nofurther violence appeared to have
been offered ; but they demanded the money of the family, and
searched their clothes for it, and ransacked drawers and other
places in the house.
Wilson set up an alibi in his defence.
The men were all found Guilty, and each sentenced to be
transported for fifteen.years.
Mr. Knowles, Q.C., sat in the magistrates' room this morning

SHERIFFS' COORT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff DURCHELL.)
LEHARGE V. HART.
LIABILITY OF SURETIES TO LOAN SOCIETIES.—This
l'aa an action to recover the sum of 171. 7s. 4d., for
money paid for and on account of the defendant.
Tuoma.s stated the case. The plaintiff and de-
/cadent were both sureties, with three other persons. to
, lean coTpany for a sum of 721., and actions were
brought against them, and the plaintiff paid the debt and
c°'ts, and now sued the defendant for his contribution.
Mr. Webster, the manager of the loan-office, was
called, and proved that the money had been advanced to
a person named llolroyd, and plaintiff had been sued for
it by Mr. Thomas Bevan Jones, who was the only person
haavancing te one. The money was paid to him by
s solicitor,h Mr. m
Sheypherd.
A receipt, signed by Mr. Shepherd, was then put in.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that the mere production
;If a receipt was not evidence of a payment. It might
have been paid by some other person than the plaintiff.
Mr. THOMAS said that Mr. Shepherd was not in at- '
tendance.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that there being no evi-
dence of the payment by plaintiff. he must he non-suited.
Mr. TucomAs said he would withdraw the record.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that could not be done after
tbejury was sworn, except by consent.
Mr. THOMAS then desired that Mr. Shepherd should
be called on his subpoena, which was done in this and the
Counsel
case, against another of the directors, the Learned
voansel contending that he was entitled to call his wit-
ness before the jury was sworn, and to withdraw the
record.
The plaintiff was non-suited in the first case, and the
record withdrawn in the next.
Mr. THOMAS applied to have the writ retained, as he
had not consented to the non-suit, but it was by the
direction of the Court.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that he entertained no doubt
Of the non-suit being correct. The Learned Counsel
might apply to a judge at Chambers.
CLARKE V. ELLIS.
This was an action to recover the sum* of 5/. 17s. 9d.
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
The facts of the case were these :—The plaintiff is a
taitailor, and the defendant formerly carried on business
his brother as a woollen-draper, in Lawrence-lane,
Uity.
For the plaintiff, it was sworn, that the goods,
consisting
*rm. of articles of dress, were supplied to the

Mr. Stammer, for the defendant, contended that this
`•°4ld not have been the case, and called John Walker
the defendant's brother, who swore that he had a
Private account with plaintiff, and the goods were sup-
Plied in reduction of a debt due to him, and his brother
4ought a coat, &c., of him. The witness had become
bankrupt after the dissolution of partnership. The
Plaintiff refused to produce his ledger to show to
Whom he had given credit.
The jury immediately gave a verdict for the de-
fendant.
London, England, 1846-09-17

Madrid papers of the 10th have been received.

The Heraldo contradicts the statement made in
some of the papers of the Bth, to the effect that
Count BRESSON had already made a formal demand
of the hand of the INFANTA for the Duc DE MoNT-
PENSIER. The Espanol says that at Eu, last year,
a formal understanding was come to between M.
GUIZOT and Lord ABERDEEN that the question of
the MONTPENSIER marriage should not be mooted
until the Queen of SPAIN bad children, and that the
Marquis of NORMANDY had, in a very animated con-
versation, recalled the recollection of M. GUIZOT to
this circumstance, and stated that England considered
it to be an engagement binding on the French Go-
vernment. The same journal states that the English
and Austrian Ambassadors at Paris had presented a
joint protest-against the marriage. In his interview
with M. GulzoT, Lord NORMANDY is said to have
declared that his Government would consider the
affair as one of the few questions calculated to in-
terrupt the amicable relations between France and
England.
As a proof of the hatred which the Spanish people
bear to a French husband for their INFANTA, we
quote the following anecdote of the Espanol:—
" The last French courier," says the Espanol, " who
brought to M. Bresson the dispatches ho so impatiently
expected, repaired to the post-office, as ho did not know
Madrid. There he asked for the French Ambassador.
The curious assembled around the post office soon
guessed what the object of his journey was, and the
news soon spread even unto the Puerto, del Sol. The
courier hastened to the French Embassy, but on leaving
the post-office he was universally hissed, and the hisses
escorted him to the Calle Mayor. The poor man, dis-
mayed by such a reception, gallopped on in double quick
time, and lost his stirrups, which mishap did but increase
tho charivari. We tell the story just as it has been
told us, not that we wish to approva of an act of intole-
rance and rudeness, but to give an idea of the state of
public opinion, and of the pleasure with which Spaniards
submit to foreign influence."

The POPE'S license for the marriages is expected
to arrive about the 20th of this month, and the 10th
of October is the day at present fixed for their
celebration.

The announcement of the admission of Cuba sugar
into England had given great satisfaction throughout

Spain.
