SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAM'S.)
HOUSMAN V. RICHARDSON.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 12/. 10s.
for wages. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. ASHLEY, the plaintiff's solicitor, stated the case. The
plaintiff had been engaged as secretary and clerk to a pro-
jected company, of which the defendant was a director,
called the Rock Steam Mining Company. The company was
formed in 1844, but only existed a few months. The plaintiff
claimed for one quarter's salary, at NA per year. He would,
call one of- the other direttors tv prove the engagement and
Mr. John Pym was called, and submitted that he was not
bound to give evidence, as he might involve himself in lia-
bilities.

The SECONDARY considered he was bound to be sworn,
but need not answer questions rendering himself liable. The
witness then distinctly proved the engagement of the plain-
tiff and his services. -Defendant was one of the directors. He
declined to produce the minutes, and the Secondary did not
consider it necessary. Plaintiff was only engaged about an
hour or two one day a week; it was agreed that the salary
should be 501. a year, to be increased if the concern prospered.
It was to raise tin from amongst the rocks.

Mr. Wimurrsom, for the defendant, proceeded to cross
examine the witness as to whether plaintiff had not been
paid since the action was brought, but
The SECONDARY said that the defendant having suffered
judgment to go by default, he could not give evidence of
payment. He would gladly assist in such an inquiry if he
could, as he had nn doubt in many cases actions were going
on against five or six different parties.
Mr. ASHLEY said it was not so in this case ; the plaintiff
had received a bill which was dishonoured, and ample notice
was given to Mr. Richardson that the amount could not be
recovered from the other parties, and that the writ must be
executed unless the action was settled.

The jury, therefore, gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room B.

The Committee met this morning at eleven, the Earl of
Lonadale in the chair.
LEICESTER AND BEDFORD.

Some formal evidence from the land valuers closed the
case for the promoters of the line.
The CHAIRMAN intimated to counsel, that evidence had
not been laid before the Committee to show that there
would be sufficient passenger and particular traffic to support
the line.

Mr. PAGET said he had only abstained from calling evi-
dence more in detail, that he might save the time of the
Committee.

He then proceeded to call
Mr. Robert Smith, who said he had taken the number of
passengers from London to Derby, who would travel by the
Bedford and Leicester Railway as the shortest route, and
found it to be 606,000 of the first class, and 728,500 of the
second class. The witness produced detailed tables of traffic
of persons, horses, and carriages, and agricultural produce,
which were put in and proved by other witnesses.

IBRAHIM PACHA.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Last night, at five minutes to
eleven o'clock, a se ecial train, accompanied by Mr. Camp-
bell, the secretary, and the chief officers of the South-
Western Railway Company, arrived at Gosport terminus
(having left Nine Elms at twenty-seven minutes past eight),
bringing his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and suite.
His Highness was received, on alighting at the platformf
o
the terminus, by Colonel Sir James Dennis, K.C.8., of the
3d Regiment (Buffs), who conducted his Highness to the
Railway Hotel, where his illustrious visitor almost immedi-
ately retired to rest.
This morning, at ten o'clock, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the
Commander-in-Chief, crossed over in his barge to the
Clarence-yard, attended by First Lieutenant Welch (1812),
of the Victory, as his Flag-Lieutenant, and proceeded to the
Railway Hotel, to pay his respects to his Highness, who re-
ceived the gallant veteran most cordially, and readily ac-
cepted an invitation to a grand breakfast to be given it the
Admiralty-house at two o'clock.
At eleven o'clock the Mayor and Corporation of Southamr
ton had me audience of his Highness, and presented a cep"
gratulatory address.
M. Nubar having received and interpreted the address•
presented it to the Pacha„ who replied through M. Nubar
follows :
" The Pacha- begs to thank the mayor and aldermen for
the trouble they have taken to call on him from Southern!p'
ton ; but indeed he did not wonder at that, because, from 11
very arrival in England till the day of his departure, he had
received nothing bet attention and kindness from everybods;
in England; and for his own sake he would never be tired 0‘
returning thanksewhich always would be less than the grandel
of the kindnesa he had noticed towards him. He assure
them that his father would endeavour always to keep Peace-
fill intercourse with this great nation ; and if England, t's,
they told him, received a great profit from Egypt, EgyPt.
interest was also comprised in being on terms of friendsl
with England. His father And himself had always wishe.i.
this, and he was very glad to tee that they had reached their
desire. The Pacha again expressed his obligations to the
mayor and burgesses of Southampton for this mark of thehf
respect, and wished them all prosperity."
his Highness delivered the above 'with much apy.ee-,,
warmth and pleasure, and at the conclusion of the interP%
tation the Mayor said (in French), that himself and Ceel)c
intended to have invited his Highness to an entertainment
in honour of his visit, had there been time before his depa4*
0
lure from this country; but he trusted that honour was slit
reserved for them oe some future occasion, should his LW
ness again honour this country with a visit.
His Highness replied very jocosely, through the later'
0
prefer, The Pacha thanks you sincerely. He is very se
'Aide of your politeness and consideration. He would be_
felt himself too happy to have been the object of your atte:o
time. He would have been highly delighted to have be
able to accept your invitation, but he departs to-rn°rr°,4.'
however, he does not despair that good fortune, perbart
and a favourable wind may bring him back to the shores.°
England, and that then he shall be quite ready to avail
self of the pleasure of your company."
His Highness then cordially shook hands with the
and Deputation, who thereupon withdrew, much gratifi
with their reception.
At 50 minutes O
_past twelve P.M. his Highness and
tit,
left the Railway Hotel, in carriages provided by Mr. rete,,,
the host, and proceeded to the Clarence-yard, where.,:ir
august party were received by the officers of the estatlbr
ment, and a guard of honour of the 3d Buffs, commas Major
Major Mackay, Colonel Sir James Dennis. Town
White, and other officers.
Lieutenant Welch embarked his Highness in the CI rr
mander-in-Chief's barge, and hoisted the Pacha's stands
1n the bow, and at five minutes past one crossed the bar
under a salute of 19 guns from the Victory, the Efgat)
standard being hoisted at the fore. Admiral Sir (his
