GROUP LIII.
This Committee re-assembled at twelve o'clock this morning, in
Room 2G (New Houses of Parliament). Present, Hon. E. Lascelles
(in the chair), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. Hildyard, Capt.

TER TO 'WOLVERHAMPTON).
The evidence in this case was resumed.
Mr. Thomas Baldwin, carrying agent to the Chester and Aylesbury
Canal Company, being
the first witness, was called to show the
superiority of a railway over a canal, in the carriage of passengers and
traffic, and the desirableness of having a direct line of railway commu-
nication between Wolverhampton and Birkenhead.
Mr. James Boydon, an extensive ironmaster, was next called, to
Show the great advantage that would be conferred on the iron-
masters in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton by the construction
of this railway.

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Bill for incorporating the
Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the
House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with
the least possible delay.
A Meeting of the Shareholders has been called, in accordance with
the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament,
at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company
should be represented.
Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge
their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will give a receipt
for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the
Meeting, viz.:—

Mr. John Marr, Secretary to the Company, 28, Parliament-street,
Westminster ; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, W.-S., Princes-street,
Edinburgh; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street,
Glasgow.

In consequence of the works being now limited to the Western
Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to redace the amount
of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a
very considerable extent.
The project, as now limited, consists, first, of the Branch from
Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton,
opening a direct communication from the most valuable mineral
field in the West of Scotland to the city of Glasgow, from which a
very large return may be expected, as:the gas coal of Lesmahagow
is well known for its superior quality, and for that description of
coal there is now an unlimited demand for exportation, as well as
for home consumption. The fends already in the hands of the Di-
rectors will be applied, in the first instance, to the construction of
this line.

The other portions of the line will open a direct communication
in conjunction with the Caledonian Railway from the important
town and neighbourhood of Ayr, with Edinburgh on one band, and
Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other.
These pies also pass through extensive mineral fields, and the local
traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on the Im-
mediate formation of these works as equally pressing, inasmuch
as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after the com-
pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway.
Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to press incon-
veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent calls.
A question will come before the meeting an to tbeprapriety of
inserting, a clause in the Bill, authorising the Dii*etorS'te allow in-
terest on the amount of calls from the date of payment.

LONDON AND YORK. MIASTMIN COMM

TIES).

The Committee met again this day at eleven o'clock; the Earl of
Lovelace, chairman.
Henry Hawkes, Esq., a landowner at Spalding, was called, and
examined by Mr. Sergeant Joxas, en behalf of the Eastern Counties
Railway. The witness said the Eastern Counties line would be of
great advantage to the landowners in his pa, tof the country. The
London station of that line was more favourable than that of the
London and York. Had had conversations with the people of his
district and they were in favour of the Eastern Counties scheme.
By Lord VIVIAN—Had not attended a public meeting to obtain
that opinion of the residents of Spalding ; had merely gathered it in
conversation.

The witness was briefly cress-examined by Mr. Sergeant KING-
Lelia—One reason for his preferring the Eastern Counties was that
there were already 46 miles of the line made, and this would make
the whole line much sooner for the service of the traders than that
of the London and York. The latter line would certainly make the
distance between London and Spalding shorter by twelve miles.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP 11.
CORNWALL.

This Committee met at the usual hour, Viscount Morpeth,
chairman.

The first witness called was Mr. Pearson, the manager of the
steam bridge over the Bamouse. He stated that carriages were
easily driven over it and with perfect safety. At one time Womb-
well's menagerie passed over. It had borne a weight of 210 tons,
and it was calculated that it would bear upwards of iOO tons more
than that.
Mr. Brunel, C.E., was then examined by Mr. Sergeant lintoLasz
—The gradients were of a favourable nature, the steepest one being
1 in 60. The soil was particularly favourable for the construction of
railways. They proposed to cross the RaMOUSe by means of the
existing steam bridge. but if that were not found to be sufficiently
strong they could easily build another. The trains would run down an
incline on to the bridge. There would be no difficulty in getting them
up again. It might be done by simple mechanical means. It could
be effected by means of an engine over a perpendicalar shaft, such as
that used for the purpose oflifting carriages from the Derby Railway
on to the London and Birmingham Railway. Great care had been
taken in the laying out of the line, and he considered it would prove
highly remunerative.
The Earl of St. Germans was called, who gave evidence In favour
of the line and the accommodation which it would attend to the
district.
The Committee then adjourned.

SERIOUS AFFRAY ON THE RIVER

TYNE.

Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Sunday night, a serious
affray occurred at the mouth of the Tyne, between two
crews of Italian seamen and a body of river police. It ap-
pears that three Neapolitan sailors, belonging to the barque
St. Francesco, now in Shields Harbour, were on shore at
North Shields,. trafficking with a man named Field and two
of his companions, and a misunderstanding arising, a fight
took place, in the midst of which one of the Neapolitans
stabbed Field, immediately
afterwards running away.
Being joined by his countrymen, they jumped into their boat
and rorwed to their vessel, Field's companions removed him
to a n eig;hbouring surgery, when it was found that a very
serious: •wound had been inflicted. In the mean time a
report of the occurrence reached a crew of the
river police, who were rowing about the harbour,
and they then proceeded on board the barque, to
apprehend the parties. Two or three of the Neapolitans
were identified, and just as they were being transferred to the
poEce-lx 'at, the whole crew suddenly mustered, and with
loud crie s assailed the police. The crew of another Italian
brig, lyit ig near, came to the rescue, and increased the serious
affray. The Neapolitans armed themselves with handspikes
and ainli 'sr dangerous weapons, and the police, in self-de-
fence,.drcw their cutlasses. Wounds were inflicted on both
sides. Nventually, the police, finding themselves unequally
matel tea, prepared to retire from the struggle, not, however,
before one of the officers had received an extensive wound
O
on the :bead, and was knocked between the two vessels. The
lbeing reinforced by a body from the town, returned
ured twelve of the Neapolitans, who were brought
of the resident magistrates on Monday morning,
they were remanded till Friday, when they will be
bbanyeido,fecalloPogt
transferrer 1 to the custody of the Newcastle authorities. Field
remains in a precarious state. The wounded policeman is,
howeN Ter, s tot considered in danger.

votes for discontinuing the scheme being more than the number re-

locus slandi his Learned Friend could lay claim to so as to appear for
that which in reality did not exist.
Mr. BAINES said that he certainly was not instructed to that effect.
Ills instructions were that he was to appear for the promoters. Ile

Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM said he would not object to his Learned

he was re-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILLNGRAM.

more witness to examine, who would be called on the following

Other witnesses were examined to the same effect, and underwent

The details were too minute to b 3 fully reported.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee did not require any fur-
ther evidence of parties along the line, and they would proceed to
receive the engineering evidence to-morrow at twelve o'clock.
Mr. limixrertn, QC., said that the promoters were prepared with
further evidence of tie same kind, but if the Committee were satisfied
in this respect there would be no advantage in crowding evidence.
The CnAirtmaN intimated that the Committee were satisfied.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1846.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the 'Woolsack
at Fivo o'clock.

Tho Tariff Bill was brought up from the Commons, and on
the motion that the Bill be read a first time, the Duke of
Rtcumosp protested against the principle of the measure,
which he contended was inconsistent with the Corn-law
Bill, inasmuch as it retained duties upon many articles of
manufacture while protection was altogether removed from
agricultural produce. A discussion followed, in the course
of which,

Lord BEAUMONT suggested that the Corn Bill should be
disposed of before the tariff was considered, and
Lord BROUGHAM reminded the Noble Lords who were in
favour of protection, that there was a vast difference between
duties imposed for the sake of revenue and duties imposed for
the sake of protection, and that the doctrine of free trade by
no means contemplated the removal of duties imposed for the
purposes of revenue.

ENFIELD AND EDMONTON,

Mr. BURNWALL appeared for a petition against the Bill.
Mr. JAMES, for the promoters, objected to the appearance, on the
ground that its heading was not in compliance with the standing
orders, and by a sessional order all Committees were directed to
see that petitions were prepared and signed in strict conformity with
the standing orders.
Mr. BURNWALL said that the petition was prepared and signed in
conformity with the standing orders, the fault being only in the title.
The Committee decided that the petition was informally prepared,
and could not be entertained.
Mr. Buaxwenn was about to urge some further observations, when
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had decided the matter.
Mr. BoaNwAnn—Oh 1 of course, Sir, if the Committee choose they
are perfectly at liberty to decide the case without hearing me ; if
they like—that is, if they force me to sit down—they can decide
the case as they please.
The CuiramAN—Well, what more have yon to say ?
Mr. BustiwAnn repeated his argument, that the entitling of a
Bill was not a part of its preparation.
The Committee again expressed their opinion that it was.
Mr. BIIIINIVALL proceeded to argue the matter over again, after
which the Committee were or the same opinion.
The preliminaries/ of the other Bills were then proceeded with.
The first Bill taken was the
LONDON AND CROYDON (TRILBIES 3-UNC-
TION CANAL)•

This Bill is one of the many projects for the formation of railways
in conjunction with canals. The Surrey Canal is the one of which
this Bill proposes to make a railway.
Several witnesses were called and examined in the course of the
day on the part of the promoters.
Mr. Cubitt gave the engineering evidence. The length of the line
was seven furlongs, eight chains. It forms a connexion between the
Blackwall Railway and New Cross. It does not take a single house,
nor deteriorate any existing property. '
The Committee were occupied with Mr. Bidder's evidence up to
four o'clock, when they adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

The following resolutions were reported from this Committee:-
1. That, in the case of the Harrogate Gas Bill Amendments on
consideration of report, the amendments are of such a nature as not
to be adopted by the House without the re-commitment of the Bill.
2. That, in the ease of the Caledonian Railway (Glasgow Termini
and Braucher) petition for additional provision, the standing orders
ought to be dispensed with :--That the parties be permitted to intro-
duce such additional provision, if the Committee on the Bill should
think fit. _ _

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Morning Herald.)

We have received, by Extraordinary Express, our
advices from India and China, in anticipation of the
mail. The dates are Calcutta, April 7 ; Madras,
April 13 ; Bombay, April 15 ; China, March A. At
this late hour we have only time to publish the following
abstract of the intelligence:—

SUMMARY.
(From the Bombay Times of April 15.)

The last fortnight has proved so perfectly barren of in-
telligence that it is next to impossible to make a
summary ; nor do matters promise to mend for
a long time to come. Peace and prosperity,
wise rulers and a happy people, may be well
enough in their way ; they are the worst things
in the world for the journalist !--The Commander-
in-Chief, like the Governor-General, has quitted the
Punjaub ; the British garrison remains inactive at
Lahore, where the people are conducting themselves
with propriety ; but there scorns a considerable
amount of turbulence up and down throughout the
country. Tho new cantonments were being arranged
in the Julluudur Doab, and their garrisons assigned
to them. The Bombay troops had begun to arrive
at Roree about the first week of April, and were to
be distributed in the manr:er formerly described
The people in western India were beginning to
suffer from scarcity, mainly brought about by the
deficiencies of last season's rains. Cholera was spread-
ing amongst the natives. India generally is quiet.
Some failures of European houses connected with Bom-
bay have occurred. The:weather is unusually cool for
the middle of April. Sir George Arthur, Governor of
Bombay, is greatly improved in his health, and able
to transact business and take his customary evening
drive.

THE NEWSPAPER PRESS DIRECTORY characterises this Journal
as the " Ablest" of the " Popular Papers." It says there is no
" Paper conducted with more talent or Niece's," and that " it is
especially remarkable, not only for the great quantity of news it affords,
and the admirable arrangement of its matter—well illustrated by
accompanying observations—but for the ability and variety of its
original articles, in the form of leaders and letters. The advantage
of this ability is enhanced by its being displayed on other than mere
political questions, so that the range of topics is more large and gene-
jelly interesting. Thus it is worth mentioning, that it was the only
paper which, during the late controversy between the Press and the
Bar, took up the case of the latter, in a series of letters marked by
great talent."

When he looked to this balance of trade, he

thought that there were certa'n countries • rading to each other,
and that the result was the difference in expense, the difference
being the respective value of manufactures in this country.
From the returns that had been made to Parliament, he was

led to believe that the principle they went upon was the value
of labour.—(Cheers.)
Lord BROM; HA NI was quite sorry to interrupt his Noble
Friend.i—(9 reatprifiriorL)

The Earl of WICKLOW really thought this was a grievous
interference with the order of the House.—(Great confusion,
and cries of " Order, order.")
Lord BEAUMONT must really persist, though it was with
great pain, but it appeared from the returns, both front
Prussia, Russia, and America, that the price of labour,
and the price of wheat had been regulated by the price
of gold. This being the case, he trusted their Lord-
ships would look upon the question in the proper light.
Under the operation of the present system English goods were
sold at Trebizand, and other places, cheaper than in the Eng-
