IRELAND.-COUNTY OF ANFRIAL

One of the most improving and extensive FEE SIMPLE ES-
TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the
greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an-
nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro-
prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, early
in the morLth of JUNE, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast,
the GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the BRAID, and
KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of
these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys
of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm
Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a
considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve-
ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of
superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great
volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens,
beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect-
able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or
connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma-
lority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of
Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The
bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten-
sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands,
abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate
neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a
mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20
miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a
surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail-
way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro-
perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation.
Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob-
tained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Merrion-square,
Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18,
Bucklersbury.
M. Simpson, from obvious reasons, which need no explanation
to the public, has recommenced his noble and other proprietors of
Irish estates to defer those sales which were intended for April to
the month of June.

• In compliance with the resolutions er Orders of file Houses
of Parliament, a SPECIAL MEETING of the Shareholders or Stock-
.holders of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company will be held
within the Railway•ofilce in Queen-street, Glasgow, upon TUESDAY,
.the 12th day of May next, at one o'clock afternoon, whets a copy
of a Bill before Parliament, intituled, " A Bill or Act to enable the

part or parts thereof.' They may ad
in
d further, . that
"although the management of the concern its preliminary
stages is, as Is usual in such cases, vested entirely in the
provisional committee, they have
ascertaining taken every opportunity
of communicating with the proprietors and their
sentiments. kpublic meeting of the proprietors was held
at the London Tavern on the 13th of November last, at
which resolutions were passed unanimously typroving of the
arrangements made by the committee tth the Exeter,
Yeovil, and Dorchester, and London, Salittury, and Yeovil
Companies. At the same meeting the purchase of the Bod-
min and Wadebridge Railway was announced, and favourably
received as a measure for the advantage of the Company.
Previously to the breaking up of the meeting it was further
announced, that the negotiations which had been in progress
for amalgamation with the South-Western Company had
been concluded.
" The subsequent proceedings of the Company are well
known to the shareholders. In common with many other
schemes of undoubted merit, the Bill has failed for the pre-
sent session, on account of non-compliance with the standing
orders. This failure, which the provisional committee
deeply regret, is not, however, attributable to any want of
exertion on their part or on the part of those employed under
them, but to the extreme difficulty, amounting almost to
impossibility, of complying with all the technical requisites
of the standing orders in regard to engineering details in a
scheme of such magnitude, brought forward at such a late
period. The fate of the rival projects in the west of Eng-
land, most of which have been rejeeted on account of non-
compliance with standing orders, may also serve to show
that the above result was not attributable to any neglect on
the part of the committee.
" Neither under ordinary circumstances would it afford
any ground for discouragement in regard to the ultimate
prospects of the concern, since it is evidently desirable rather
than otherwise that the commencement of the works should
be postponed for a year.
" Having thus briefly explained the proceedings which
have taken place, the committee will proceed to lay before the
shareholders the actual position of the Company; and first,
as regards the financial position of the Company, the follow-
ing balance-sheet will show the receipts and expenditure' up
to the present time.

little is doing that the quotations are almost nominal.

LEEDS, MAT 2,

STOCK EXCHANGE.-The improvement manifested in shares during
the week has been most decided, and highly enhar-ced prices have
been realised for all old Stocks. Many of the better class of scrips
have also advanced materially. The effect of this altered state of
things has been to bring heavy sellers forward, and prsees to-day
have not been quite so fully maintained ; but in the absence of intel-
ligence from London and Liverpool, at neither of which markets was
any business done yesterday, we do not feel justified in saying more
than that buyers will do well not to act with too much precipitation
in purchasing for the ensning account. The appearances in Leeds
certainly indicate some decline in prices just now, but that the decline
will be permanent we do not by any means anticipate. The all but
certainty of a continuance of our peaceful relations with America--
the prospect of a speedy settlement of the tariff question, and the
confidence resulting from Sir Robert Peel's " railway propositions,"
all tend to the continuance of high prices and the stability of the
trade, which is not a little supported by the relieved state of financial
affairs, and the consequent cheapness of money. The Isles are-

WOOL.
Since Monday last the imports of Wool into London have been on
the increase, they having amounted to 733 bales from Hobart Town,
18 do. from Ostend, 35 do. from !famburgh, 27 do. from Antwerp, and
91 do. from Konigsberg. It is expected that several public sales of
colonial wools will be held towards the close of the present mouth.
Privately there Is rather more business doing in foreign and colonial
qualities, but English still hang on hand.

M ARLBRO'-STREET-(T HIS DAY.)
William Anderson, a young man of respectable appearance, was
charged with stealing ss. in silver from the till of Mr. Blake, of No.
50, Great Portland-street, licensed victualler, under the following
circumstances :

Between four and five o'clock en Saturday afternoon last a servant
of the prosecutor's, wko was in charge of the bar, had occasion to
leave it for a few seconds unattended. On returning he saw the pri-
soner leaning over the counter, and in the act of pulling out the till.
The prisoner grasped a portion of the contents in his hand and ran out
of the house. The barman pursued him a very considerable distance,
and, after he had attempted to escape by getting up behind a gentle-
man's carriage proceeding at a rapid rate, he was secured. On his
being searched, no silver money was found in his possession ; he must
of course, have thrown it away as he ran. The prosecutor was able
to specify the sum taken from the till, as he had noticed the amount
in it a short time previously.
The prisoner, on being asked by Mr. MALTBY what he had to say
in answer to the charge against him, flatly denied that he was
leaning over the counter or had even touched the till.
He was remanded until this day week.

SINDE:

The army which had quitted Sukkur In the beginning of February,
and at the date, of pur last had reached Bahawulpore, has now
/*en entirely broken up. General Hunter and two batteries
Of Artillery, H.M.'s 17th, and 12th NJ., marched for Sukkur, on the
morning of the 12th ; the 2d troop of Horse Artillery, A.M. s 86th,
and the 18th N.l' , took their departure f6r the same place on the 14th.
The Bengal troops have all 'moved on in the direction of Ferozepore.
The following is the disposition of the troops in Sinde for the ensuing
season :—Sukkur, Shikarpere, and the frontier; H.M.'s 17th, four re-
giments of N. 1., a battery, :he calmer corps, a regiment of cavalry, the
zisge train, and pontoon bridge. The Bundelkund Legion marches
at once on Bahawulpore. At Hydrabad : four native corps, a bat-
tery,...e a detachment of sappers and miners, and the Slade horse. At
1 : the baggage corps. At Gharra : a regiment of native In-
la,trY. At Kurrachee : three European corps, four ditto, a troop
1A horse artillery, three European batteries, and head quarters
_,PPers and raMers. A rumour has all at once sprung up in vari-
IT r
d parts of India, that Sinde is to be abandoned : that it is to
e,it.n.rned to the Ameers : that the portion of it north west of the

exchanged, or finally that its Government in an in-
Theseorm will be abdicated so soon as Sir C. Napier retires.
i thin have been hinted at at Calcutta, whispered
and half afflarne at Serainpore, and at Bombay it has baeellnelaldii.,
mitted that la some shape or other some credit is to be attached to
them.

BAITAIVITLPOOR, Marten 13, 1846.
" Sir Charles Napier is reported to have been greatly pleased with
Ids reception by the Governor-General, though be must have been
not a little disappointed at arriving too late for all the fighting.
Sir Henry took him up on grand review day, and pre-
sented him to his old regiment the who received him
with three cheers. He was expected toll''leave Lahore on his
return to Sinde on the Hith ; and as he seldom allos the grass to
grow under his feet, he will be here very shortly fore-assume the
government of Sinde from General Simpson." *
" I forgot to mention that General Hunter returned with the
's 17th and 12th N. I. to re-assume, for the present, the coin-
Queen
wand of Sukkur, and that thelast of the L'engal troops are to march
from this to-morrow town rds Ferozepore."

There has scarcely been a single occurrence of a local nature to
report during the past fortnight. Sir George Arthur, we are happy to say, is tlist recovering from the effects of his late severe indis-
position, though as yet he is unable to attend to his public 'business
with that zeal and perseverance which have tharacterished his rule
in Bombay. A report has been in circulation that Sir George in-
telidii shortly returning to England.

NIIIM AND LINCOLN DIRECT.

Several other witnesses were called, who all agreed that the line
of railway would open up a portion of th• country rich in mineral
and other produee.

The Coirunittec adjourned at 4 o'clock to 12 o'clock to-morrow.

GOUP XXX.
The Committee met this day at twelve o'clock, in Room 21 ; pre-
sent, Lord Seymour (chairman), 2dr. F. French, Lard Edwin Hill,
Sir J. Lopez, and Lord Ebrington.
They resumed the consideration of the

SHEFFIELD, ROTHERHAM, BARNSLEY,
WAKEFIELD, HIIDDERSFIELD, AND
GOOLE.

Captain Lawes, who was examined on Friday in favour of the
Bill, was now cross-examined by Mr. PlcxxxiNG, on the part of the
opponents.

Mr. Leman, the solicitor to the Company, was examined at con-
siderable length, by Mr. TALBOT, In relation to an agreement en-
tered into by this Company with the Routh Yorkshire Company, for
the construction of the line south of Barnsley, that is to say, from the
latter town to Sheffield.
In cross-examination, by Mr. Ptexiam, the witness said that
the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Wharneliffe, Lord Effing-
ham, Mr. Bennet Martin, and other landed proprietors in the southern
half of the district had petitioned Parliament against the Bill. But
the agreement with the South Yorkshire Company was the conse-
quence of that petition. The only landed proprietors on that part of
the line who continued In opposition to the Bill, were the Duke of
Norfolk and Mr. Bennet Martin, the latter, as a director of the South
Yorkshire line, being in part bound by the agreement to support this
Bill in every stage. The agreement bears date of this day, May 4,1846.
Some further general evidence as to the benefits which would be
tered into
derived from the proposed line by the people of the vicinity was en-
, and
31r. Hawk.shaw was called to give the usual engineering evidence,
which occupied the Committee up to four o'clock, at which hour they
adjourned.

GROUP XXVII

This Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour; Sir
Charles Lemon in the chair.

NORTH ST.ILTFORDSIIIRIC (THREE LINES).
The several clauses of this Bill were then gone into seriatim.
➢ir. WARREN, on the part of the trustees of the Burslem and New.
castle Turnpike Road, opposed the clause by which it was proposed
that the railway should cross that road on the level.
After hearing evidence on the point, the Committee decided that a
clause should be introduced, compelling the Company to erect a foot-
bridge over the railway. .

The remainder of the day was occupied In going through the other
clauses of the Bill, which, with some alterations and amendments,
were eventually agreed to.
The Committmi then adjourned.

GROUP XXX.

This Committee assembled at the usual hour; present, Lord C.
Wellesley (chairman) and the other Members.
CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD.

It was stated by Counsel that the opposition to this Bill was with-
drawn on the part of Trinity College, Cambridge, and that the only
opposition now remaining was on the part of the Duke of Bucking-
ham and the competing line.
Mr. Denton, surveyor, was cross-examined by Mr. WELLS, on the
part of the Aylesbury and Thame Railway—Did not know the depth
of soil for the spoil. Made an estimate for the spoil of 1001. per
acre. No one assisted him in laying out the line, except Mr. Locke.
Did not make any agreement with landowners on behalf of the
Company in any case for more than 2501. an acre.
Did not know that any parties were bolding out up to last Friday
for 5001. an acre. _ _ _ _

Mr. J. liashiord examined—Valued the land along the line from
Oxford to Luton. The line did not inflict any injury on property in
the neighbourhood.

Cross-examined by Mr. CALCRAFT —The average he made of the
property was 2001. an acre. Had nothing to do with the spoil.
A rather lengthened discussion ensued between the Counsel, as to
whether witnesses to traffic should be produced and cross-examined,
which ended in the room being cleared.
The Caarantar, (on our re-admission) said, the Committee ending
that they had full discretionary powers given them by Parliament in
this matter, had come to the determination of hearing the examina-
tion, cross-examination, and re-examination of Mr. Pitcher on this
question. They would then consider whether they should take fur-
ther evidence with reference to this point.
The Committee having heard the evidence of Mr. Beard, steward
to the Buke of Buckingham, who stated that the proposed railway
would be injurious to that nobleman's property, adjourned till to-
morrow to give time for the production of the necessary witnesses as
to traffic who were Rot in attendance.

It will be remembered that these Bills were at a former period
brought before the same Committee, and there having been no op-
position, they were all three passed and reported as such by the
Noble Chairman. Subsequently, however, they were ordered
to be recommitted for the purpose of selecting such
of the lines as were most calculated to benefit the district through
which they proposed to run, the whole three partly competing.
Mr. Austin, Mr. Talbot; Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Murphy, appeared
for the promoters of the Great Munster Railway.
The Committee then decided to take the longest line as the first
into their considerfAtion, and accordingly the first case opened
