one's legs; but I am yet thankful it is no worse.

On the subject of the mines, there seems to be no
diminution of interest. Every vessel that leaves it
bringing home copper ore to this country. At one mine,
opened in October last, private letters inform us that
850 tons have been already raised, and of this a large
quantity has been shipped. One extract on this subject,
however, must suffice. It is from the Adelaide Observer
of Jan. 17:—

"BURRA BURRA MINES.—The wealth of the Burra
Burra mines, now so generally acknowledged, receives
additional confirmation from the occurrences of each
succeeding week. Six hundred and forty-one tons of
copper ore have been put on board the vessels now
about to sail for England ; the great capabilities of the
mines are more apparent than ever, and the favourable
preponderance of public opinion, influenced as it is by
almost unanimous report, has been further exemplified
by the recent sale of Mr. Solomon's forty 5/. scrips,
which realised 1,0001., being 400 per cent. advance. It
is asserted that shares are now saleable at a still higher
price, and if 251. is henceforth to be considered the mini-
mum price in the colony, it is impossible to foresee the
effects which may be looked for beyond it. The Burra
Burra men who came into town, on leave, to spend the
Christmas holidays, have nearly all returned, and we
may expect soon to witness a large augmentation of the
already wondrous weekly production."

THE ARMY.

16th LANCERS.—This regiment was at Cawnpore on the
23d April, being en route to Calcutta, where they were to
embark for England, after having taken part in the late war
with the Sikhs. . _

31st FOOT.—The main body of this regiment arrived at
Cawnpore on the 2d of May, from the Punjaub, on their way
to Calcutta, where they will embark for England. The
sergeant-major died on his arrival at Cawnpore, from the ef-
fect of the wounds he received in the late battles, and was
buried with military honours. The 61st, stationed at Cawn-
pore, assisted in doing honour to his interment.
61st. FOOL—lntelligence has been received of the death of
Captain C F. H. Mayne, who died at Cawnpore, at the
latter end of April. He had been for a long time in a de-
clining state of health. The men of the 61st are in the en-
J03.-ment of excellent health, the average sick in hospital not
being greater than when at home.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—DEATH OF COLONEL H. TRE.•
LAWNY: GOVERNOR OF ST. HELENA.—lntelligence reached
Wool e, ich, on Thursday, of the death of Colonel H. Tre-
lE!wny, R.A., Governor of the island of St. Helena, who ex-
pired on the 3d of May, after an illness of only a few days'
duration. His remains have been interred with military
honours, and the inhabitants of the island speak of his death
in terms of the most affectionate regret: The deceased officer
entered the Royal Artillery, as Second Lieutenant, on the
28th of April, 1798. He served with the forces in Holland
in 1799, and was in the Peninsula and the south of France
from November, 1813, to the end of the war in 1814, inclu-
ding the passage of the Adour. He was a member of the
celebrated Cornish family of that name, and has left a large
family, most of whom are, we believe, in England.
Yesterday morning the whole of the Royal Artillery as-
sembled in the Riding-school to see the sentence of a garri-
son court- martial on gunner and driver James Jeffrey
carried into execution. The prisoner, who has been in the
regiment 11 years, and bears but an indifferent character,
was tried for disposing of part of his regimental necessaries
and sentenced to receive 150 lashes, the whole of which were
inflicted.
Major Hope's Company was medically examined on
Thursday, prior to its embarkation for China to relieve

No. 5,

The Committee met this morning at eleven ; present the Duke of
Montrose (in the chair), Marquis of Breadaibane, Earl of Craven,
Lord Forester, and Lord Tenterden.

nnakaNG, Gumpronn, AND REIGATE.

Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Merrewether, and other gentle-
men were retained for the line, and it was opposed by Mr. M. Hill
and Mr. Rowe, on the part of the Brighton Company.
Mr. COCKBURN, Q. C., briefly opened the merits of the line to the
Committee, and proceeded to call witnesses.
Mr. Mtn having opened the merits of the whole line by his cross-
examination,
Mr. COCKBURN objected to the Brighton Company being heard
before the Committee, except in regard to the six miles between
Dorking and Reigate, where their line might be said to compete with
the one before the Committee.
Some discugision ensued, and the room was ordered to be cleared.
The Committee intimated to parties on their re-admission that the
Brighton Company must confine their opposition to the six miles
from Dorking to Reiga e,
Mr. Rowe said that his clients withdrew their opposition before the
Committee.
Mr. Barclay, Mr. Thomas Hope, Mr. John Trotter, Member for
Surrey, and other, witnesses were called, who spoke to the public ad-
vantage which the line would confer on the immediate district, by
communication with the market towns of Reading and Guildford, and
with the assize town, and more generally by the through communi-
cation between the east avid west coasts and London.
Mr. Giles, son of the engineer of the line, gave evidence in the
absence of his father from illness, and stated that the pro-
posed line formed a junction with the South-Eastern at
the Reigate station, and with the Direct Portsmouth
at Dorking, whence, for a short distance, both lines
passed along the same rail ; it formed another junction with the
Guildford Junction line and communicated with the Farningham
and Alton line, and with the London and Southampton Rail-
way. The heaviest works on the line would be executed by the
South-Western, there being on that portion of it two
tunnels, and the only tunnels on the line, one 1,021 yards long, and
one 200 yards long. The steepest gradient was 1 in 100 for eleven
miles. The estimated cost for the whole was 736,0001., which in-
cluded 201,9301., the expense of the works to be executed by the
South-Western. The South-Eastern had leased the line at 41/ per
cent., and half the profits.

The Committee decided unanimously that the preamble of the Bit
was proved.

Mr. DIEHREWETHER reminded their Lordships of the frail tenure
on which Parliament continued its sittings, and applied
on behalf of his clients, who were naturally anxious
on the subject after having succeeded in passing through the House
of Commons at considerable expense, that the report of the Bill
should be made to their Locdshps' House tonight, if possible.
The Committee assented, and adjourned.
London, England, 1846-06-27

AND DUBLIN:

After hearing the Counsel, and the usual fcrmal evidence in sup-
port of the Bill, the Committee decided that the premble had been
proved.
The clauses were then gone through and agreed to, and the Corn-
mitte adjourned.

LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH DIRECT.
The cross-examination of the engineer to this line was resumed
this day. The difference in favour of the London, Newbury, and
Bath, over the proposed Wilts and Somerset line, would be about two
miles. The line went through a district more favourable for the
construction of a railway than the district selected by Mr. Brunel
for the line in connexion with the Great Western. The proposed line
would afford considerable accommodation for th• carriage of coals.

NEWCASTLE AND DARLINGTON JITNC.

=ON, AND TYNE DOCK.

The Committee met at half-past ten o'clock.
It will be remembered that yesterday the Committee
consented to pass the preamble of the Bill, upon the
promoters of the Bill consenting to prepare clauses
in compliance with certain resolutions of the Committee—
namely, to form a canal for the exclusive use of the Yarrow
Chemical Works, to provide proper drainage to carry away
all the deleterious acid from the works, and also to secure
them from the expenses of any damage or law-suit which
might arise. The promoters required time to consider the
matter, and the Committee adjourned until this day.
At the meeting of the Committee to-day, the counsel for
the promoters intimated that they could not consent to in-
troduce clauses to the effect required by the Committee.
The room after some discussion was then cleared.
On our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee have considered this
matter, and it appears to them that these difficulties
are rather technical than otherwise, and there also
seems to be only two courses before the Committee
—either to negative the clauses of the Bill, or to inform the
parties promoting the Bill, that, as they decline to prepare
specific clauses in accordance with the resolutions agreed to
by the Committee, the Committee decline proceeding with
the clauses of the Bill, and will therefore make a special report
to the House. The latter course is the course the Committee
will adopt.
The Counsel for the promoters intimated that his clients
had determined against compliance on these points, and
would stand or fall by that determination.
After some further discussion the room was cleared while
the special report was prepared, and the Committee then
separated.

LAND.—This match was not brought to a termination until
Wednesday afternoon, England winning with seven wickets
to go down.
SURELY v. KENT.—This match was commenced at The
Oval, Kennington, on Thursday, and was brought to a con-
clusion yesterday afternoon.
The terms of the match were, as suggested by Rent, " Five
gentlemen and six players of Kent versus Five gentlemen
and six players of Sutrey." Kent having won the toss went
in first and scored 83, of which Adams made 38, after hav-
ing been missed by Day, at short step off the first ball, by a
four, three threes, eight twos, and the remainder in singles,
and 8 in his second innings. Mr. A. Mynn obtained but 8
and 0, Pilch only 4 and 3, Dorrington not more than 1 in
his two hands, Hillyer 5 and 3, Mr. E. Banks 13 (in a four,
a three, a two, and four ones) and 24, by two fours, five
twos, and six singles. Indeed in the second innings of Kent
this was the only score above an 8, of which number there
were two, those of Adams and Hinckley. In fact, they
were all bothered by the excellent bowling of Martingell and
Day. The totals of their respective innings were 83 and 56.
The brilliant exhibition of the match was the hitting of Mr.
A. M. Hoare. Not all the efforts of Mr. Mynn, Hillyer,
Adams, Hinckley, and Pilch could make any inroad upon his
play. Indeed the better they bowled the finer became his
batting; and had it alone been that the match had afforded
the opportunity to that gentleman to make a display of so
much brilliancy, and that it was in a Surrey man, too, the
committee, it is apprehended, would have been perfectly con-
tent. Mr. Hoare scored 59, by a five, a four, eight threes.
four twos, and the rest in ones. His efforts were loudly
cheered. The great master of the bat did nothing, for he
was caught the first ball, and Mr. Felix therefore appears, as
he was not required to go in a second time, on the score with
a round 0. Heath hit very finely, and contributed 15, by
two threes, a two, and the balance in ones. Day also played
extremely well, scoring 19 by a four, a three, and a d.)zen
singles ; Martingell made 7, and a similar number was marked
to 13rock

The Surrey in this hand obtained 137, being "54 on."
Kent, however, could only overtop those figures by two,
which were quickly gained by Mr. Groom and Brockwell,
without the loss of a wicket. Surrey therefore won by ten
wickets.

NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to
the HALF CREDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by
which table the bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in
January, 1850, may be secured at a pfesent annual payment of one-
half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the
sum insured will be paid less the amount of premiums on credit. Should
the life insured eurvive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be
allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the
half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the
party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up
by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first
accepted. The above plan, originating with the Company, was
found peculiarly advantageous at the last equitable division in 1840,
when it was largely adopted. and many of the policies then effected
are still in force, and latge bonuses have been added to them on the

GROUP XXXIII.

The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, in
Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor). Present, Sir Robert Fer-
guson (chairman), the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount
Newry, Mr. Smollet, and Mr. Fellowes.
They resumed the consideration of the competing lines, the
WA.RWICIESHIRE AND LONDON (THREE
LINES), AND THE BIRMINGHAM AND
OXFORD JUNCTION.

The CHAIRMAN informed the parties that the Committee
had come to the determination to hear the evidence yester-
day tendered against the accuracy of the levels in the plans
deposited for the Worcester and Weedon line.
Mr. Hughes, the engineer, was then called, and being ex-
amined by Mr. Sergeant KINGLARE, gave evidence to the
effect that the levels, in the plans deposited were so inac-
curate that the railway could not be constructed according
to those plans.
Mr. HILDYARD, for the Warwickshire and London, again
raised the objection that this evidence was inadmissible.
After a prolonged discussion, during which the Committee
manifested considerable impatience—(if we may not say,
displeasure)—they yielded to the importunity of counsel,
and the room was cleared.

--- -
On the re-admission of the parties,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the committee having given
every consideration to the objection, were unanimously of
opinion that the petitioners against the Worcester and
Weedon line should proceed with their evidence on the en-
gineering defects of that line.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the first day of term, Lord LANGDALE sat
at Westminster at half-past one o'clock.

TAYLOR V. WILD.

Mr. KINDERSLEY applied for an order for the post-
ponement of the hearing of this case. This cause
came on originally as an exception to the Master's
report. A bill had been filed by the plaintiff apinst
the husband's trustees for the purpose of obtain-
ing the benefit of certain proceedings that had taken
place. His Lordship had made an order overruling
the Master's decision. In the meantime an application
was made that the bill might be taken pro confess°, and
his Lordship ordered the cause to stand over till the
result of that application should be known. That bill
had been dismissed with costs, and notice of motion had
been given by the defendant Wild.
There being no objection on the other side, the order
was granted.
There were several other motions to the same effect,
none of which possessed any public interest.

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco )
The Court did not sit till half-past one o'clock, at
which time there was a very full muster of the learned
gentlemen who usually practice in this Court.

And after some further particulars connected with the
case, the reporter concludes by saying:—
" I believe my work is done for the present. I have
put nothing down in malice, but everything in the spirit
of trutk and fair play. lam sure your columns will be
open for any contradiction to these statements—there
can be none as to the persons and their lands. Yet I
do not believe there can be the slightest dispute as to
these facts, which I have gone to considerable trouble to
elicit. There are eighty persons at least in this last
list, which, with the two hundred and seventy-seven al-
ready mentioned, will be three hundred and fifty-seven,
without mentioning the seventeen families that are yet
in jeopardy at Carrigshoheen. If by any malign influ-
ence these should be banished from all they hold dear
on earth, the number exterminated would stand at four
hundred and forty! I need draw no moral from this
but you might call the attention of the Irish Members
to it, that they might use the facts against the Coercion
Bill, and against traducers of the people."

[ADVERTISEMENT] .—Holloway's Ointment and Pills
are producing immense sensation in the Bahama Islands. A letter
received recently from Mr. Frederick Williams, of Nassau, states,
" I know of many here that have tried Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, and who have derived the greatest benefit from their use. One
ease in particular, a lady, whose foot was in such a dreadful state
that, to save her life, amputation was deemed necessary, and yet she
regained the complete use of her limb by these celebrated medicines."
Any wound, sore, ulcer, abscess, or bad leg, even if of twenty
years' standing, will readily heal by their application. Sold by all
