Mr. Clayton, surveyor to Lord Harborough, was then examined

Knew both I.ne.s, the projected one and the Whissendine bite. The
tunnel by the former line would pass between Lord Harborouch's
park and ornamental property, which woull be very objectionable.
(Witness produced a plan of the grounds).
Cross-examined—No engineer was employed to survey the Pus
forty ya-ds south of the park.
Mr. Gregory, another engineer, gave similar evidence. He sur-
veyed the Whissendme tine on the part of the London and Notting-
ham Railway Company. It was a practicable line. He selected it
for the interests of the Company. The steepest gradient was one in
200. The cuttings and embankments would be more than by the
projected line, but there would be a saving, on the other hand, from
the cheapness of the land, and the avoiding of all ornamental pro-
perty.

Cross-examined—Made the survey between Oakham and Melton
with Lord ilarborough's consent. His line was 15 feet higher then
than the level of the Syston and Peterborough line at Melton.
Re examined—The line by Whi,sendine was selected on account of
ground, not from any personal consideration to Lord Harborough.
This elos,3d the case.

The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission,

The CHAIRMAN announced the decision of the Committee to belhat
the preamble of the 11111 was proved, but they, the Committee, were
anxious that some course should be adopted, no: too onerous to the
promoters, by which Lord Harborough's park should be passed in a
way as little disagreeable as possible to that Nobleman. This they
left to the parties concerned on both sides ; and, if they could not
agree, the Committee would select the course themselves.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

THE ARMY IN INDIA.

The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he had that night
given notice that his Noble Friend the President of the Board
of Control would move the thanks of the House to the gal-
lant officers and army in India, for the victories they had
achieved on the banks of the Sutlej, and he would now lay on
the table of the House a copy of the resolution which would
then be moved.

CHARITABLE FUNDS' BILL,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to present a petition
from a society well known to many of the Lordships. It was
from the Literary. Fund Society, instituted for the relief of
authors and other literary persons, and was principally sup-
ported by them, assisted by private individuals, who were in-
terested in the society's well-being. They prayed to be ex-
empted from the operations of the Charitable Trusts Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had been requested
by a Noble Lord to pogtpone the second reading
of the Bill, in order to give him an opportunity of communi-
cating with him (the Lord Chancellor) upon the subject of
one or two clauses in the Bill. He would, therefore, move the
second reading immediately after the holidays. He might state
that the Bill would not apply to charities supported by volun-
tary contributions.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from
the society called the Refuge for the Destitute, praying that
that charity might be exempted from the operation of the Bill.
Lord COTTENHAI%I was glad to hear that the Bill was
not to apply to charities supported by voluntary contributions.
There was, however, another clan of charities to which he
would call the attention of the Noble and Learned Lord, and
that was the charities that had trust funds, but which were
supported by voluntary contributions.
Lord CAMPBELL was of opinion that the postponing of
the further consideration of the Bill till after the holidays
would end practically in a different Bill being brought forward,
to meet the objections that had been stated to the present
measure.
After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR the
subject dropped.

ARRIVAL

OF THE

OVEBLAND MAIL

(From the Herald.).

We have received by Extraordinary Express, in anticipa-
tion of the Overland Mail, Bombay papers of the 3d of March.
Ws refer our readers fur full particulars to the ample details
we publish below from the Bombay Times.
We have received the official dispatches relative to this
last great victory, which we shall publish to-morrow.
Our advises from China are of no later data than those
brought by the last mail.

SUMMARY.
(From the Bombay Times of March 3.)
Another great battle has been fought and victory won. Oa
the 10th ult. the Commander-in-Chief, with a forte of about
20,000 men, attacked the Seikhs, 36,000 strong, on our side
the river at Hurrekee, and, after a revere and bloody ac-
tion, defeated them at all points, and drove them across
the river. Sixty-seven guns, and all their ammuni-
tion and camp equipage, fell into our hands. The pon-
toon bridge was inadequate to afford them a passage to their
own title of the river, and their lo ,Is altogether was estirna' ed
at 10,000 men. Our casualtit s amount to 2,383 killed and
wounded—irchling, amongst the former, one Major-
General, two Lieutenant-Colonels, two Captains, nine
Lieutenants, three Ensigns, and 301 non-commissioned
Officers, rank and file. The same evening a portion
of our troops crossed at Ferozepore; by the 14th the
whole army destined for the. advance • on the capi-
tal were over : and by the 24th in all likelihood Lahore
would be in our hands. It is unlikely we shall attempt
anything more this season ; and it has been intimated by the
Governor-General that it is not our intention to annex the
Punjaub to our dominions, but to compel them to pay
the expenses of the war, establish a firm Government,
and retire. The whole arrangements of the Sind*
army have, since our last, been altered. Sir Charles
Napier having received orders to join the Governor-General
without delay, quitted Sukkur on the 10th, leaving the civil
government of Sindo in the hands of General Simpson—the
command of the army devolving on General Hunter.
Instead of proceeding to 3lithenkote to take up
their quarters for the hot season, the troops are now or-
dered up to within 50 miles of Bshawulpore—a por-

- _
tion of them, as is `uttlerstood, moving on Ferozepore.
The division has been brigaded, and it vinsists of three
European and eight native infantry regiments,, with
the Belooch battalion—two regiments of regular, and one of
irregular cavalry,—three troops of horse, and four batteries
of foot artillery—or, in all, above 15,000 fighting men, with'
nearly thirty pieces of artillery. The troops from all parts
of India continue to move northward—the country generally
very tranquil. We have now on the Sutlej, from Mitheukote
to Umballah, an army of above 60,000 men.

EXECUTION OF WICKS.

-
I large crowd assembled at an early hour yesterday
morning in front of Newgate, to witness the execution of this
unhappy young man, who was respited from the 16th instant.
Hopes were entertained, almost up to the close of the pre-
ceding week, that the sentence of death would be com-
muted, but the Secretary of State, to whom earnest applica-
tion was made on the criminal's behalf, left no ground for
expecting mercy, and on Saturday evening preparations were
made for the execution. Eight o'clock, as it struck on St.
Paul's, was the signal for a general buzz, the cry " hats
off" passed through the mass, and was immediately obeyed,
while each individual planted his feet anew, and strained his
eyes to catch the first glimpse of the unhappy man. The
chaplain of Newgate headed the procession, as the gaol bell
began to toll, and he was followed by Wicks and the execu-
tioner. The murderer ascended the scaffold with a firm step,
and his countenance remained calm and unmoved. His
movement to the fatal spot in front, whence he twice bowed
to the spectators, was easy and unceremonious. As the
hangman proceeded to adjust the rope and the cap, a gene-
ral cry of " Shame, shame," expressive of dissent from the
propriety of the punishment, arose from the crowd. Mean-
while the prisoner was engaged with the chaplain, and as
the last words of the Church service died upon his ear the
drop fell, and he seemed to expire almost immediately. The
people began to disperse soon after tlis.

COAX AND WATERFORD.

The Committee, consisting of Lords Stafford (chairman), Cadogan,
Bishop of Ely, Ranfurly, and De Morley, met this day shortly after
eleven o'clock, and entered on the merits of this line.
The Hon. J. C. Talbot, Q.C., and Sergeant Murphy-were counsel
for the promoters of the Bill ; and Mr. Hatchell, Q.C. (Irish bar), and
Mr. Merrewethor, were counsel for several gentlemen opposing the
line. _ _

The Hon. Mr. TALBOT stated the case for the promoters, and de-
tailed the facts as set forth in the preamble of the Bill, touching the
correctness of which Thomas Wyse, Esq., M.P., was examined. He
proved the importance of the cities of Cork and Waterford, the
amount of traffic existing between them, also the amount of exports
and imports, and several other material facts, all of which h e con-
ceived established the necessity for a line of railway communication
between both cities. The projected line contemplates the connexion
of several important towns by means of branches, such as Middleton,
Youghal, Lismore, Cappurgin, Tallow, and Dungarvan.

OLD COURT.

The Court sat at half-past nine o'clock this morning.

James Thomas and George Wood were placed 'at the bar, charged
with stealing 13 bottles of wine from Mr. George Sloane.
The evide ice was somewhat circumstantial, and at the conclu'ion
of it, when the prisoners were separately asked if they wished to say
anything, they each contradicted the other in the account they gave
of the Manner in which they had become possessed of the wine found
witk them. They were found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment and hard labour.

deferied. _ _ _

James Lakr, labourer, aged la, was charged with a burglary in the
dwelling•house of Elizabeth Turner, of No. 7, Surrey-place, Kenning-
ton, on the night of the 9th of March. It appeared, from the evi-
dence of the prosecutrix, that on the night in question she heard the
window of her drawing-room raised, upon which she got up, and
called the police, who came, got in at the window, and found the pri.
*oiler standing on the side-board, who said he had come there for a
Meat's lodging.— (Laughter.)
.1k police-coustable produced a lanthorn, a screw-driver, and
some paste and brown paper, which he had found in the chimney.
The paste and brown paper, he said, were for the purpose of putting
up to a pane of glass, to prevent it making a noise if broken,
The prisoner was defended by Mr. PAINS, who contended that
there was no evidence of an intention to steal.

also be made of the golden flax. And in submitting the Registered
