HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room B.

The Committee met this morning at eleven; present, the
Earl of Lonedale (in the chair), Lord Hawarden, the Earl of
Warwick, Lord Ellenborough, and the Duke of Grafton.

LEICESTER AND BEDFORD.

Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and others were retained for the
promoters of the Bill, and Mr. Austin, Q.C., Mr. Hiblyard,
Q.C., and Mr. Hope, on the part of the inhabitants of North-
ampton and the London and Birmingham Railway, opposing.
Sergeant WRANGIIAM, in opening the case for the pro
maters, said, the length of the line was 63 miles, to be con•
-tructed at an estimated cost of 1,500,000/. ; and was in-
ucnded to connect not merely Leicester and Bedford, as the
designation might imply, but passed 16 miles to the south
of Bedford on to Ilitchin. The number of those in the
neighbourhood of the line who would immediately en-
joy the accommodation was about 200,000; but that which
was the great object of the promoters of the Bill was, the
line opened the London market to a large fertil,
agricultural district, and would carry coal into that district
at a reduction of 10s. per ton. The line would form a junctiot,
with the Leicester and Swannington Railway at Leicester;
and though a petition had been sent up by the last company
against the Bill, because a Bill was in their Lordship's Housi-
forming a junction between the Leicester and Swannington
and the Midlands line, a Bill which had been delayed there
till the lite of the present Bill should be known,,the Learned
Sergeant contended for the superiority of this junction over
the other, and proceeded to call evidence to satisfy their
Lordships.
Mr. Packe, Member for South Leicestersl.ire, said, on his
examination, that being well acquainted with the district
through which the line passed he believed it would be of great
advantage, as giving the farmers a transit to the south for
their produce, and opening the Derby and Leicester coal-
fields to Bedford, Nom hamp..ton, and Hertfordshire. He had
_presented petitions to the House of Commens in favour of the
line from those who owned about sixty thousand acres in
the district.

Mr. BILDYARD was proceeding to cross-examine the
witness, on behalf of the South Mialand project, which was
thrown out in the House of Commons in tuvour of this Bill,
when

Sergeant WRANGIMM 01 joet ed to his being heard.
Mr. AUSTIN contended that precedent co:icurred with the
common sense view of the jurisdiction of their L irdships'
house,-that. ar:projcct,- though rejected by the: noose of Coln-.
mons, Ought to be • permitted to appear before their Lord-
ships, otherwise they must judge only of such lines as the
Commons chose to elect.

Sergeant WAANGIIAM having replied, tLe room was ordered
tip be cleared.

Partie,i, on being re-admitted, were told that the Commit-
tee considered the prof- et to be a competing line, and that
Mr. Hildyard might, therefore, priiceed with his examination.
Goss-examined by Mr. lliwyAnD—Mr. Parke recolleted
that Parliament, in 1836. ordered the Midlands Company to
suspend their Bill fn. the line between Leicester and Rogiiy,
in case there might be a direct line from Rugby to Non!,
arnpton.
Mr. Paget, formerly Member for Leicester, corroborated
the last witness.

Room D.

The members of this Committee, consisting of the Eirl of
Kingston (chairman), Lord Churchill, Lord \Vharncliffe, and
Lord Catnoys, asscmuled to day at twelve o'clock.
The following Bills have been referred to this Committee,
viz.:—Eastern Counties Enlarge•rent and Extension Rail-
way, and the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmuuds Railway (Nor-
•wich Extension.)

EASTERN COD TIES ENLARGEMENT
AND EXTENSION.

Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., opened the case, and stated that the
rai!way wt,uld meet a great requirement.
Mr. Warren appeared for the commissioners of paving.
Mr. Bidd Ts, engineer, was examined, and gave general
evidence, of the usual character, in supprt of the line.

GREEN W itiH ELECTION.
(THIS DAY).
RETURN OF ADMIRAL DUNDAS.

The election for a ilember of Parliament to represent the
borough of Greenwich, on account of the resignation of the
lion. and Gallant Admiral G. W. Dundas, who hasaccepted the
.office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, took place to-day
at ten o'clock, on a hustings in Church-street, Greenwich,
near to the parish church. There was no opposition to the
Galla'it Admiral, who offered himself fur re-election, and
consequently there was no excitement. wha!ever. At the
hour if commencing the proceedings there might be about,
2,000 persons present, a great proportion of which hod come
from Woolwich and D9thrd, accompanied by approprate
harmers and bands of music. The gallant candidate was ac-
companied by Edward G. Barnard, Esq , the other Memlo.r
for the borough.

Among the gentlemen present we recognised Colonel Fead,
Colonel Dundas. Captain Wood, Captain Fead, Josiah Har-
graves, Esq., H. Hargravte,E•q., C. Millington, Esq., George
Burnitt, Esq., Charles Harwood, E-q., John Wade, Esq.,
and a great number of the most influential electors of the
borough.
• The returning officer (Thomas B. Fisher, Esq.) read the
precept for the election, and the usual formalities having been
gone through, he called upon the electors to conduct
themselves in a manner worthy of the occasion, as they had
hitherto done under similar circumstances.

CHARLES HARWOOD, Esq., in a neat and appropriate ad-
dresa, nominated the Hun. and Gallant Admiral G. W. Dundas
riS'a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Green-
wich in Parliament.

Mr. JOHN WADE, of Deptf ,rd, seconded the nomination,

The returning officer then took the sense of the meeting by
show of hands, which was unanimous in favour of the no•
urination. He then, amidst loud cheers, declared the Hon.
and Gallant Candidate duly elected as the Member for the
borough.

Admiral Diztn.ts returned thanks for the honour
just done him by the electors of Greenwich and Deptford.
With regard to his future conduct in Parliament, he could
only, as an illustration of what it would be, point to what it
had been in the past. He had no inconsistency to explain
away. He had for years supported the repeal of the corn-laws,
and other liberal measures, and he would continue to do his best
to forward every legislative proceeding calculated to advance
the interests and extend the libarties of the people. The
Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, who spoke but . for a few
minutes, was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address.
In reply to a question from Mr. Wade, Admiral l'undas
promised to give the question of the condition of those em-
ployed in her Majesty's dockyards his best consideration,
with the object of increasing the remuneration at present
paid them.
Mr. BARNARD, the other Member, being loudly called for,
also addressed the meeting, in a speech which was an echo of
the sentiments delivered by the Hon. and Gallant Admiral.
He stated he had always acted consistently with Liberal
principles, both on the corn-laws and other questions, and he
would continue still to do so. _

After a vote of thanks to the returning officer for his cell
duct in presiding over the election, the meeting separated.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —BI RMI :1/4 GRAM, SATUR-
DAY EVENESG.—To-day an inquest was held at the Plough,
in Shutlock, on the body of a man named Thomas Kirkland,
who was killed on Thursday last, on the Birmingham and
paßailway. It appeared from the evidence that the
decryebasej was 49 years of age, and had been employed as a
workman in erectieg posts fin. the telegraph on the above
line, a short distance beyond the forge station. He had just
finished the erection or a post he had been engaged at, and
was retiring with some of his fellow workmen, when he re-
collected that he had left a tool behind him, and returned for
it, walking between the up and down lines until he
came to within a very short distance 'of the spot where hehad
to cross over to the post. At the moment, however, an en-
gine with some empty waggons appeared in sight, and the
deceased attempted to run across the line, but before he
could get over the rails the train came up, and the buffer of
the engine struck him, knocked him down, and the wheels
passed over his body, almost severing it in two. No blame
whatever could be attached to any individual except the
unfortunate poor fellow himself, and the jury returned a ver-
dict of "Accidental death."
NEW BATCH OF FRENCH PEERS.—The Debuts gives
the number of persons abcut to be raised to the peerage at
twenty to twenty-two, of whom about twelve were mem-
bers of the Chamber of Deputies, which has just been dis-
solved.
ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Mademoiselle Rachel ar-
rived yesterday, and having recovered from her late severe
indisposition, will make her first appearance at the St. Jansos's
Theatre this evening, in her celebrated part of Camille, in
tragedy Of Les lioraced.

LEEDS.—There was but little business done at the
Cloth Halls either on Saturday or Tuesday in goods of ,
general description, but on both days there was a pretti
fair demand for faney cloakings for shipping, as well Lls•

much the same as for the last few weeks, and the stow,'"
