JUNCTION RAILWAY.

In pursuance of the sessional orders of the two Houses of Parlia-
ment, a special General Meeting of the Holders of Scrip and of
Bankers' Receipts for Scrip of this Company will be held at the

county of Somerset, with a branch to the town of Yeovil, to be called
the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Railway."
A Bill for making a railway from Salisbury to Sutton Bingham, in

called the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Railway."
And notice is hereby given, that all persons attending such meeting

In this case Mr. Hope said that the parties had not succeeded in
making any arrangement with the Canal Company as to the manner
in which they should pass the canal. He bad therefore to propeee
the introduction of a clause by which it should be provided that the
line should not be carried over the canal without the consent of the
Company.
After some discussion this was assented to, and the Bill passed,
with this clause inserted.

GLASGOW SOUTHERN
The CHAIRMAN proposed that this Bill (the last on the list) should
now be taken.
Mr. lion said thai the chief eounsel in that Bill was Mr. llild-
yard, and the Committee were no doubt aware of the position in
which that gentleman "mai, placed. It would, he believed, be impos-
sible to go into the case to-day, but he had no doubt it would go on
on Thursday.
The Committee then adjorzned tin Thursday.

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Rill 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 Starr, 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 reduce 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 funds 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 hand, and
Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other.
These lines 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 as to the propriety of
inserting a clause in the Bill, authorising the Directors to allow in-
terest on the amount of calls from the date of payment.

THE ARGEHEEHT.

PART I.—Shows how Mr. Brunel, in 1838, persuaded the Directors
of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, assuring
them that this railway would have " no connexion with any other
of the main lines ;" and how, in 1845, he attempted to force a con-
nexion between it and the main lines, at Wolverhampton, Rugby,
Dorchester, &c.—How Mr. Brunel stated that carriages and trucks
would not pass from one railway to another, being different pro-
perties, whereas more than half a million are passing annually at the
present time.—How Mr. Brunel, in 1833, adopted the Broad Gauge,
for the express reason that the railway would be nearly level, and
have very slight curves ; and how, in after years, he applied the
Broad Gauge to Railways having the steepest gradients and the
sharpest curves.—How Mr. Brunel said, in 1839, that " he never re-
commended the Broad Gauge for the purpose of having larger en-
gines ;" and how, in 1845, it was his boast that he was building en
gines wider and larger. How Mr. Brunel selected the Broad
Gauge because he could place the bodies of the carriages within the
wheels, and how he has always brought them outside the wheels.—
How Mr. Brunel advocates the atmospheric system, which in all
essential points is the exact converse of the Broad Gauge System.
PART ll.—Shows what Mr. Saunders thought of competition in
1844, when he was a disinterested party, and what he said about
Competition when he was an interested party.

RAILWAY CLASSIFICATION.

.... .
Mr. BERNAL complained of the present system of classification
with regard to railways, and wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, the Vice-President of the Beard of Trade, if it was proposed
to make any alteration In the system by which the present evils
would be obviated.

Sir G. CLERK said that the classification of groups rested with the

Chairman of the Committee, and though inconvenience might oc-
casionally result from the merits of railways belonging to the same
locality being considered by different CoMmittees, he believed the
territorial division was carried out as far as possible ; and he was not
prepared to say that any alteration would be made in the system.
On the motion that the order of the day be read for going into a
Committee of supply,
Mr. LAWSON said he was sorry that the statements he had felt it
to be his duty to make a few evenings ago, had been made the subject
of a great deal of controversy in the public press, and he wished to
take that opportunity of explaining.
Sir ROBERT PEEL did not consider the Hon. Gentleman was
quite in order in making any explanations on the subject then, and,
at any rate, he should have given previous notice of his intention
to do so.

Mr. LAWSON had no objection to postpone doing so till to-morrow,
if the House would give him leave to bring it on then before any
other business was proceeded with.
Sir It. PEEL had no doubt that the House would give every at-
tention to the llon. Gentleman when be did refer to the subject, but
on the other hand, he must say that the explanation of the Hon.
Gentleman would be very imperfect in the absence of the Hon.
Alderman (Mr. Humphrey).
Mr. EWART did net wish to prevent the Hon. Gentleman from
making his explanation, but he was first on the list of notices to-
morrow evening, and he did not feel bound to waive his right of pre-
cedence.
Mr. LAWSON said, that under the circumstances, and after the
explanation of the Hon. Member opposite, he would defer his motion.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—The most interesting and exciting week in the year to the
sporting circles has at length arrived, and with it the doubts and
difficulties attendant upon the decision of the first race in the world.
I will not dwell for an instant on the smaller races, for who cares
anything about them when the Derby is undecided. This is the
sixty-sixth anniversary of this important stake, and the number of
entries far exceed any on record, but of these entries four-fifths are
very trash—mere platers—without the most distant chance of win-
ning ; in fact, the value of these animals vary from 15 to 4,000
sovereigns. Just imagine what chance can an animal value 20 sous.
have against a flyer value 3,000 or 4,000 guineas ; but, to the point,
out of 193 nominations, front thirty to thirty-three will come to the
post, and as far as I am able to judge at the present time they will be
the following :—Tragical, Joinville, Tom Tulloch, Poynton, Spithead,
Crown Prince, Sir Edmund, Fancy Boy, Maid of Hampton, Hum-
drum, lago, Holloway, Sotades, Widred, Pyrthus the First, Malcolm,
Premier, West Countryman, Peri colt, Sir Tatton Sykes, Traverser,
Nutleaf, Brocardo, Cantley, Conjuror, Sting, Ginger, Blackie,
L'Hirondelle, Cynynion, and one of Sir Gilbert Heathcote's,
which he don't seem to know himself yet. To begin the filtration
we may dispose of the following as not having the shadow of a chance,
viz., Tragical, Joinville, Poynton, Spithead, Sir Edmund, Maid of
Hampton, Widred, Malcolm, Premier, West Countryman, Traverser,
Cantley, Blackie, Motllla, L'Hirondelle colt, and Cynynion. The
above disposed of, there remain fifteen which I will form into two
classes—first and second rates—and append their riders' names. As I
have taken into consideration the trash first, I will follow up the
same line of proceeding, and take the second rates next, leaving the
first rates to wind up with :

Conjuror Winteringham Can't stay

I have in my remarks stated either the favourite distance of the
animal, or otherwise some quality for which it is celebrated. I will
now review the

FIRST RATES.

Jockey. Remarks.
Fancy Boy Templeman Strong and speedy
Humdrum F. Butler Very fast

lago Simpson Rather slow
Sting H. Bell Power and speed
Pyrrhus S. Day Ditto
Sotades Marson Ditto,
Thus but six remain from which to pick the winner—no very easy
task. Sotades and Humdrum, though speedy, will not win ; but,
with lago, will form the vanguard. The race at the finish will be
between Sting, Fancy Boy, and Pyrrhus. The first favourite of the
winter will be disposed of easily, and it remains a toss up whether the
cunning Pyrrhus or the game Fancy Boy succeed the Merry Monarch
on the Derby throne. Mark well the extreme outsider's movements

—Sotades.

SPANISH DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.

Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to ask of the Government
whether the report was true that discriminating duties had
been imposed on British produce in the harbours of Cuba and
Porto Rico. .

Sir R. PEEL said that his attention had not been drawn to
this subject until he had seen it noticed in the newspapers, but
that upon observing the statements, he had read the dispatches,
which contained, so far as he could see, no such intention ; but
he would decline giving any more explicit answer until he had
reread the dispatches.
REDUCTION OF CRIME IN IRELAND.

Mr. O'CONNELL asked whether there was any proof in
the hands of the Government of the public report, that since
the administration of relief to the starving poor in Ireland
there had been a great reduction of crime in that country ?
Sir R. PEEL could not at present give the Hon. and
Learned Member any specific assurance of the fact, but he
believed that in the main the public reports were true.

of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, assuring
them that this railway would have " no connexion with any other

carried timber and other ar' ides on to Southampton without stopping
at R.:Abridge, it would not.
By 3lr. DAVIS, a solicitor who nxco.red for the corporation of
Southampton—Never knew a tunnel with a curve in which a piece
of timber 80 feet long could not pass. Large quantities of timber
were grown in the neighbourhood of Chalburgh which principally
found an outlet by the Severn.
Mr. M. G. Gregory, a miller at Fisherton, joining Salisbury, shipped
goods at Redbridge for Cornwall. If the proposed line from Salis-
bury were made, he should send those goods by it. Imported gyp-
sum and bones at Ealing, and not at Wolverhampton. Shipped
2,600 bags of flour, and imported 100 tons of bones and 100 tens of
gypsum at Ealing last year. Sends flour to Southampton to be
shipped to London.
The Co -omittoe then adjourned until 12 o'clock to-morrow. The
Committee will not meet on Wednesday.

The Committee met again this day at eleven o'clock; the Earl Dr

Henry Hawkes, Esq., a landowner at Spalcling, was called, and
examined by Mt. Sergeant Ames, en behalf of the Eastern Counties
Railway. The witness arid 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 -Lte
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-
LAKE—One reason for his preferring the Eastern Counties was: that
there were already 46 miles of the line made, and this would rake
the whole line much sooner for the service of the traders than that
of the London and York.. The latter line would certain ly make= the
distance between Loudon and Spalding shorter by twelve

TEE EASTERN COUNTIES.

The evidence in this part-heard case was resumed.
Mr. John Furze, of Amphill, was examined by Mr. _Munn—The
witness was of ;opinion that the communication between Hertford
and London would be better served by the Eastern Counties line of
t allway than by the London and York.
The witness was briefly cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Kum-
LAKE.
Mr. Renshaw, a farmer at Hartford, was also examined on the
same points.
In his cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Kmataxx, he admitted
that, so far as the direct communication with London and other
parts on the line, the London and York would be of great advantage.
The communication between Hertford, Ware, and Biggleswade, was
what principally affected him, and by the Eastern Counties scheme
he would be better served than by the other. With regard to those,
however, trading between those places and London, the London and
York was the best adapted.
Mr. Sedgwick, professor of surgery, was examined by Mr. Hops—
Was of opinion that the Cambridge and Lincoln line was most im-
portant to the people of Cambridge, and to the University of that
place. The communicatioa proposed by the Cambridge and Lincoln
branch of the Eastern Counties line was Admirably adapted to
supply the deficiency of communication which now existed, and
was very generally felt. The cuttings on the Cambridge and Lincoln,
as proposed by the Eastern Counties, were light ; whereas, on the
communication proposed by the branch of the London and York line
to Cambridge, the cuttings were very great, the stratum being otilite,
which was very difficult in many parts.
Cross-examined by Mr. PacErr—Had not examined the plans of
the Eastern Counties scheme. Had not had time, if so inclined,
as he did not have an intimation of his having to be ex-
amined till ten o'clock on Saturday night. He would not go so far
as saying that the branch line of the London and York to Cambridge
could not be made ; on the contrary, it was already partly made by
another Company. He was of opinion that the line proposed by the
Eastern Counties was the most easy of construction, and the best
adapted to the convenience of Cambridge.
By Lord Vivian—Had frequently travelled from Cambridge to
London by railway. Had never met with anything like great incon-
venience by the Eastern Counties line. There was a large number
of stations on the line at which the slow trains stopped, but the mail
trains went quick enough. Complaints were often made, but he at-
tributed the delays to the frequent stoppages of the slow trains at the
various stations.
Major Hardy, of Falkingham, near Lincoln, was called to speak to
the advantage of the Cambridge and Lincoln line.

PROTECTION OF LIFE IN IRELAND BILL.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to remind the Right
Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government (Sir R.
Peel) that the Bill for the Protection of Life in Ireland,
stood for its second reading to-day. From the speech of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, he had expected that it would come
on today, but he regretted to find that it had been postponed
until after the holidays, in consideration of a number of mis-
cellaneous statements, and he should wish to know when the
second reading of the Bill would take place.
Sir R. PEEL regretted that this Bill had been postponed,
but be had given notice that it should be brought up on Fri-
day in the first instance, and that the Customs' Duties Bill
should be taken on Monday. He had done this in the expec-
tation that this measure would have been disposed of before
the recess, but this had been found impossible. He had wished
to bring forward the usual financial statement, but he hesitated
to bring forward any more Money Bills until the sanction of
the House had been obtained for the two great principles now
before the House. He hoped, however, to take the second
reading of this Bill en Friday next.

Several members of the Stock Exchange have ex-
pressed a wish that the Railway Committees would make a point of
keeping their decisions unknown to the public until after five o'clock
in the afternoon. This, being after the hours of business, would give
every dealer an opportunity of possessing the same information as
his neighbour, whereas at present parties have been known to watch
for exclusive information, and whcn it is obtained, to come with all
possible rapidity from the West-end to the City, hoping to take ad-
vantage of the less enlightened. As it cannot be the intention of the
Legislature that the best bargain should be owing to the fastest cab,
this hint is worth attention.—Times.

No opposition to the return of Colonel Anson, who has
accepted the office of Clerk of the Ordnance, has been spoken

Lord Morpeth stands unopposed—even. Mr. Ferrand has
not the temerity to speak of contesting the election with the
West Riding's own.
The nomination is fixed for the 18th inst., at Wakefield,

of Woods and Forests, will be returned.

CANADA.

We have received accounts, as already intimated, to
the latest dates. The following are the chief items
• worthy of notice. The Ministry was broken up. Sir
Allan M'Nab is said to be Adjutant. General.
We find the following paragraph, headed " Canada,"
in,o,tcleA(N,fAtphA._
eNeAwNYNEorxkATplaopNer.—Tile British Cabinet 'f papers of June 20 :
late have been uneasy in relation to the commercial
affairs of the Canadas. :Merchants are beginning to
emigrate to the States ; rroduce finds its way to our
seaports, and the severity of the winter, together with
the m.ny months which the St. Lawrence is closed by
ice, render it more profitable and expeditious to export
from the States. The question, under these circuni•
stances. is frequently asked in England, ' why go to
such heavy expense to defend Canada against the
Yankees, when, in fact, our own subjects render such
defence ununecessary.' Annexation Is becoming more
popular."

A very destructive fire had taken place in St. John's,
New Brunswick, and destroyed property to the amount
of 10,0001. No lives, we believe, Were lost.
