(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
GROUP D.
imaTacursTr,n AND LINCOLN UNION
(STATELY EEANCH).
The Committee re-assembled to-day, Lord Somers in the
chair.
This Bill was unopposed, and the evidence of the company
and the formal proofs having been put in, the preamble was
allowed, the clauses were gone through, and the report was
ordered to be brought up. It is understood that this com-
pany is to be incorporated with the united companies whose
Bill was allowed yesterday.
AXHOLIVS, GAINSEOR.OUGH, GOOLE, YOR.IL
AND NORTH MIDLAND .71i.T.74TOTXON.
The Committee next took the above line, and Mr. WRITE-
HURST, Q.C., opened the case briefly on behalf of the pro-
moters, stating that this was a branch to supply a communica-
tion in an agricultural district where it was much wanted,
the several portions of which would be shown in the
evidence. He called Mr. Gambles, but a long discus-
sion ensued between the Learned Gentleman and Mr.
Sergeant Wrangham as to whether the latter could
appear on behalf of Mr. Childers, M.P., who had presented
a petition on behalf of himself and others, trustees of Hat-
field Chase, as well as for other landowners. Whitehurst
contended that Mr. Childers could only appear as a petition-
ing landowner on his own behalf, and as the line did not
touch his laud at all, he was clearly out of court.

GRAND REVIEW AT wooLWICII

(THIS DAY.)
The long anticipated review of the Royal Horse Artillel

Waterman's and Woolwich Company's boats were crams 175

which his Highnese and suite attended.
At the close of the interesting proceedings, his Highn"'„
was pleased to express his approbation of the splendid bow
of men which that day he had seen exercised.

MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON (GROUP XVIL)I
A mistake accidentally crept into our report of the proceet,,`,
ings in this Committee yesterday. The Chairman is mad
to say that " the Committee, during the whole period I,
had sat had only heard evidence they
from parties interested:,
either the Great Western or South-Western Railwals'
What he stated was, that the Committee felt this clineeultli
that the dole of the evidence adduced in support of the cf;
position to the Manchester and Southampton, proceeded S°.,
parties either interested in the Great Western or South-I%e',
tern Railways, and that they were anxious to have
impartial person, conversant with the district which the
is proposed to traverse, brought before them to give s'Cis,
deuce. The counsel for the opposition seemed disconcert
.
at this. In every other respect our report is strictly corre7o,
RAILWAY MEETINGS AT STAlNES.—Yesterdey, tee
meetings were held at Staines, relative to the rejection of b"i
Staines and Richmond Railway Bill by the Committee,`,
the House of Commons. The first was a meeting of serl:o
holders of the company, who resolved to persevere with tb
Bill next session, and to make a call of 255. per shareL
enable them to proceed. The second meeting was a gene,`;
'
one of the people of Staines, to consider the conduct of
,•10tlia
Great Western Railway Company, who were charged 1"
unfair conduct during their opposition to the Staines
Richmond Bill. The following resolution was carried 5;
" That this meeting, having heard with considerable disg,ut,
that the Great Western Railway Company, by their direecie
ors and officers,- have made use of unfair and dishonouras,
means to defeat the re-commitment of the Staines and Ocil t!
mond Railway Bill, when they were themselves unable
~
afford railway accommodation to the d's!r3ct, that the co!I:et
mittee take steps, if necessary, to expose such conduct, eitD
by petition to the House of Commons or otherwise."

sultory conversation took place on the propriety of a reas6b,

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Faris isf 0
16 per mine, which, at the English Mint price
se
31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an excllll:st
of 25 55; and the exchange at Paris on Loudon at S'ay.o
being 25 70, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer e,
London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh
price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English 3e;,..
price of 3/. 17s. 100. per oz. for standard gold, gives an ego
change. of 13,10, and the exchange at Hamburgh on Len' t,
at short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.46 per cep f
dearer in London than in Hamburgb. The course
,°
exchange at New York on London is 108 per cell;
;
and the , par of exchange between England and Ansert„
being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ego
change is 1.58 per cent. against England. But
quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sil4 days' sight, the interest must ba deducted from the abe's,o
difference.

Mills, held an inquest at the Duke of York, Kensiegfell
Gravel Pits, on the body of Mary Arslin, aged forty years'
who was found in the street, in a dying state, on thenigfe
of Saturday last. It appeared from the evidence that t'u„
deceased was the wife of a labouring man, working in•Clefr
terbuck's brick-fields, Kensington Gravel Pits. For sOlitt
e
time past she had been suffering from disease of the lieu
and chest, but bad not latterly been attended by any 0117—; cal gentleman, beiag aware of what she required, which e
procured at the shop of a chemist and druggist. On Sato'
day last she appeared in her usual state of health, and at
night came down into the town of Remington, to market,
and was on her return home, about half•past eleven o'clock+
when she was found in a state of insensibility, close to the
Vicarage, in Church-lane. She was immediately carried into
the George public-house, nearly opposite, and from thence to her own home, but although medical aid was promptly
given, she expired in about ten minutes.—Verdict "
Na-
tural death."
CASE OF LOCK JAW.—Yesterday morning the follow.
ing distressing case of lock jaw was admitted into Guy's
Hospital. A boy named James Lamb, aged twelve years,
whose parents reside at No. 25, Redcross-street, Southwark,
was playing in the garden with his compenions, on Thurs-
day last, when he by some means ran a urge nail or spike
into his shoe, which penetrated his right
toe. He took no
notice at first of the accident, but on Sunday he was seized
with violent pains in the stomach, which was speedily fol-
, lowed by a stiffness in the back. His parents became gamic(
and on Monday called in the services of Mr. Odling, surgeon,
of High-street, who, on examining the lad, found that his
teeth were firmly fixed, so as to prevent his taking any
nourishment. He immediately pronounced the lad to be
labouring under tetanus, or lock jaw. He was removed to
the above hospital, and at eight o'clock last evening he was
still alive, but lie was not expected to survive many hours.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM A BEAN SHELL.--Yester-
day morning, an accident of a very serious nature occurred
to a female, named Elizabeth Holmes, aged fifty six, of 22,
John-street, Tooley-street. It appears she 'was walking
along the pavement in Fair-street, Horsleydown, when she
stepped on a bean shell, which caused her to fall with great
violence to the ground, and when lifted up, she complained of
severe pain in the left leg. She was conveyed to the nearest
surgeon's, who ascertained that she had reoeived a fracture of
the thigh. She was subsequently taken to Guy's Hospital,
and is going on favourably.
THE SUGAR DUTIES.—On Tuesday the following
freehold sugar and coffee plantation estates, situated in
Jamaica, were put up to auction, at the Gray's Inn Coffee-
house, under the authority of ie Court of Chancery, this
being the second time that they have been offered to public
competition. The first lot consisted of an estate called
" Kelletts," and was situate in the parish of Clarendon. It
consisted of about 5,968 acres, and the crop of the estate
would produce in fair Seasons from 200 to 220 hogsheads of
sugar, and from 90 to 100 puncheons of rum. There was a
stock also of 171 head of mules, &c., with buildings, &c.,
and every necessary for the manufacture of sugar and rum
The auctioneer asked if any one would offer 16,006/. for it;
but no bidding was made. The second property, called
Mammee Gully," comprised 860 acres, with 85 head of
beast; the third, " the Burn Plantation," 500 acres; and
the fourth, " Belmont," 1,501 acres, the returns per annum
being 110 hogsheads of sugar and 50 puncheons of rum. , •
There was no offer for any lot, when the auctioneer observed
that he attributed the cause to the uncertainty of the con-
tinuance of the duly on the importation of Brazilian sugar.
Some professional gentlemen were present on the part of West India planters watching the result of the sale.
OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—Some doubt ,
having been expressed whether this compan ,
y would o into -
operation, we are authorised to say that the subecriptgion to -
the stock of the company already amounts to about 250,000 dollars. The company are now only waiting the action of
Congress for the necessary appropriationS, to carry out the
contract made with the Postmaster-General. When that
shall be done, the company will immediately go forward to
building the required, number of steamers,—Arew York Corn,mercial,Advertiser,
