Committee-Room No. 12.
ZEILLAANEIr 7UNCTION.

The Committee on this line assembled at twelve o'clock. The
Members present were Mr. Home Drummond (Chairman), Mr.
Compton, and Mr. J. O'Connell.
Messrs. Burke and Kemp, Parliamentary agents, appeared on be-
half ettliis line, and Mr. Murrell, en;:ineer, opposed it.
Before the petition was read, the agents for the line contended that,
in compliance with the standing order,. the petition could not be
received, inasmuch as that order made it necessary that the party pe-
titioning should be a party interested in the line, and that Mr. Murrell
was not interested, he being merely the engineer to a competing line,
Mr. Murrell's agent contended he had a right to be heard on the
grounds that the public ought to know the bona fides of the line.
The Co-nmittee, after a short consultation, postponed their decision
until twelve o'clock to-morrow.
We ascertained that the chief objection set forth in the petition is,
that in proving the service of notices, widows were not so designated.
71r../17/MRICIE, ENNIO, AND Itrzamaxam.
The engineer to this line proved that there was no tunnelling or
viaducts neces,ary ; and Messrs. Murphy and Gaffers, solicitors,
proved compliance with the necessary regulations.
A petition against the line was withdrawn, and
The Committee declared that the standin; orders were complied
with.

DONIZETTI.—This eminent comp“ser left Paris Trio
week in a deplorable stage of health. He wanted to proceed to
Vienna, where he is expected, and fancied ne was repairing to Aui-
tria whilst his p; ysiciau was conducting him to Nice. Here he will
sojourn sometime, and next be taken to Pisa. M. Donizetti is in a
very sad state of mind, but which, though depriving the patient
of the free exercise of thought and will, at least permits of
his receiving nvalical assistance, wider he would perhaps rej, et
if he enjoyed the whole faculties of his intelligence. Hitherto his
friends had been unable to make him t some months of
indispensable repose, and spend his winter in the mild climate of
Italy, Gifted whit prodigious activity, and abusing Lie f rtility of
his imagination, Donizetti was at the same time emploYed on fetir
grand oi,eras for Vienna, Madrid, the Italian Opera of ParLi, and the
London theatre, Drury-lane. Ills heal h has given,way ura'--
exertions, and his reason has sunk under the efforts of genii
we hope, with all'his friends and admirers, that Donizetti
lost to the musical world. The blow that has struck him is
parable. Enlightened care, rest, and the influence of a
cli., ate, aided by a powerlhl orgarlization will remove the I
visitation his physical and mental forCes have sustained ;
shall behold the revival of that brl liant mind, that fertile
tion, and those vigorous and bright talents, which have
reached the middle of their 'careirr, and still promise, and,
will still yield more than one chef d'oeuvre.—Paris print of Si
