MONDAY, JULY 27.
LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY,(LON.

A petition from the Commissioners of Sewers for the limits
extending from East Moulsey, in Surrey, to Ravensbourne,
in Kent, alleging that the intended line would interfere with
the sewers, sluices, watercourses, walls, banks, arches, &c. ;
that they are compelled by Acts of Parliament to keep the
same in complete order; and that provisions ought to be in-
serted in the Bill for their protection.
A petition from the Commissioners for paving the streets
within the borough of Southwark, and certain parts adjoin-
ing, and for cleansing, lighting, and watching the same,
alleging that the proposed line would pass over, by means of
arches and bridges, certain thoroughfares through which
there is great traffic; that the traffic through the thorough-
fares through which the line proposes to pass would be im-
peded on account of the said arches and bridges ; that it
would interfere with their rights and interests; and that
there are divers clauses injurious to them as Commissioners.
A petition from the Commissioners for paving, cleansing,
lighting, and watching the streets within the manor of South-
wark, otherwise called the Clink, or Bishop of Winchester's
Liberty, in the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark, in the
county of Surrey, alleging that the proposed line is intended
to be built upon arches of a certain height, and passes
through a populous neighbourhood, the effect of which would
be injurious to the property in the neighbourhood ; that it
would be inconvenient and injurious; that the traffic would
be impeded ; that the rates would be diminished ; that they
ought to receive compensation; and that provision ought to
be made with respect to arches, &c.
A petition from the trustees of Surrey Chapel, alleging
that the proposed line would pass near the said building ;
that the service would be interrupted, and that the property
would be injured.
A petition from the... Right . Reverend the Bishop of Ro-
chester, alleging that he is interested, in the right of the see
of Rochester, of considerable property, which would be ma-
terially injured; that there is no public necessity; that it
would be injurious to the county of Surrey; and praying for
clauses to protect his rights, and for compensation for the
diminution of rates,_tithes, &c.

A petition from 'William Punter, containing same alle-
gations as above.
A petition from certain owners and occupiers of property
on the line, alleging that the property will be injured in the
locality of the line; the noise would be very objectionable;
that the streets would be rendered unsafe, and that their
width would be decreased; that the viaduct will form an ih-
terruption to the traffic; that the trade will be injured, and
complaining of residential injury.
A petition from the South-Eastern Railway Company,
under their corporate seal, alleging that a Bill is pending for
making a line from the south-west side of the Waterloo-
road, near the York-road, to the London and Greenwich
Railway, which would be of great public advantage; that the
line proposed by the South-Western Railway will intersect
that line; that that line is uncalled for, and would be of no
public advantage.
A petition from the Wardens of St. Saviour, Southwark,
and inhabitants of St. Saviour, by the trustees of the Borough
Market and the committee of the parish estates of said
parish, alleging that the proposed line is to be made
upon arches and viaducts, and would greatly damage, if not
entirely destroy, the importance of said parish, rendering
all the properties contiguous, and not required by the line, of
little or no value, interfering with the traffic, and greatly in-
juring the property in the neighbourhood; that the trade of
the shopkeepers would be injured by the removal of a great
portion of the public from their houses to make room for the
construction of the line; that the service at St. Saviour's
Church would be interfered with and interrupted; that the
rates would be reduced; in fact, that it would be highly in-
jurious to the whole of the parish, unnecessary and uncalled
for, and would be of no public advantage, and that a better
line might be made.
That the Committee are satisfied of the fitness in an en-
gineering point of view of the proposed work.
That there are no special circumstances of which, in
the opinion of the Committee, it is desirable that the
House should be informed, excepting that the delay which
has arisen in the progress of this Bill is to be attributed
only to the fact, that the Commission appointed by her
Majesty, pursuant to an address from the House of Com-
mons of the 23d of March last, to investigate and report
their opinion upon the various railway projects of which the
termini were proposed to be established with'n or in the im-
mediate vicinity of the metropolis, had not made its report
in time for its submission to a Committee of your House at an
earlier period of the session.
That the attention of the Committee has been directed to
the report from the Royal Commission in regard to the termini
of the railways in the metropolis, which was referred to them
by the House; and, in passing the present Bill, the Com-
mittee have in so far sanctioned the recommendation con-
tained in such report.
The Earl of Lincoln further reported from the Com-
mittee—That they had examined the allegations contained
in the preamble of the Bill, and had amended the same, by
omitting the extension to the High-street in Southwark,
conceiving the same to beiningcessarE; and had found the
allegations of the Bill, as amended, to be true; and had gone
through the Bill, and made several amendments thereunto.

Of gr!efs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and he mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."
WHAT to EAT 3.
, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein container: .the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understan I ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theiriseveral healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithftilly imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all, by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik a advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mini as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his'own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured

topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

LON DON, TUESDAY EVENING SU N 9 JULY 28, 1846.

DON-BRIDGE EXTENSION) BILL.
The Earl of Lincoln reported from the Select Com-
mittee on Group (67) of Railway Bills, that, in the case
of the London and South-Western Railway (London-bridge
Extension) Bill, the Committee had examined into the
several matters required by the standing orders to be in-
quirati into by Committees on Railway Bills, and agreed to
the following report :
That the proposed work is an extension of the South-
Western Railway, and proposed to be constructed by the
London and-South-Western Railway Company, out of their
subscribed capital ; in consequence whereof the first six
sections of the 87th Standing Order did not appear to the
Committee to be applicable to the present case.
That the proposed railway is a complete and integral line
between the termini specified; that iis, from the intended
new station of the said London and South-Western Railway,
now about to be constructed near the York-road, Lambeth,
to the Thames, near London-bridge, all in the county of
Surrey, and is not part of a more extended plan now in con-
templation, and likely to be hereafter submitted to Parlia-
ment, and the calculation of remuneration does not depend
upon any contemplated extension.
That no
bnoereen feporertfrrrom
eTbty thheße Hoaroduosfe
to the Trade Committee.,inr
egar
dto the
Bill, has
That there is no plane proposed to be worked by assistant
engines, either stationary or locomotive.
That there is no peculiar engineering difficulty on the pro-
posed line.
That there is no tunnel.

That the gradients and curves are favourable; the steepest
gradient being 1 in 467, and that at its divergence from the
metropolitan extension of the said London and South-
Western Railway; and the smallest radius of a curve being 1
furlong 5 chains, at the London-bridge terminus.
That the length of the line to the river Thames is I.mile,
1 furlong, 8 chains, and 80 links.
Thay_it is not intended that the Railway should doss any
turnpike or public road on a level.
.That the amount of the. estimate of the cost and other
expenses to be incurred up to the time of the completion
of the Railway is 500,0004 ; which appears to be supported
by evidence, and to be fully adequate for the purpose.
That the estimated charge of the annual expenses of the
railway is 30 per cent.; and the calculations on which it is
founded have been sufficiently proved.
That the number of assents, dissents, and neuters upon
the line, distinguishing owners from occupiers, are as stated
in the appendix (A); but, from the peculiar nature of the
property traversed. it does not seem possible to state the
length and amount of property belonging to each class.
That Mr. Tite, the architect and surveyor, was examined
in support of the Bill, Mr. Joseph Locke being engineer.
That the following petitions were referred to the Com-
mittee, viz.:—

A CHILD SUFFOCATED BY ITS DRUNKEN MOTHER.—
Yesterday morning an inquest was held before Mr. W. Carter, at
the Windmill Tavern, Wyndham-road, Camberwell, on the body of
James Brigden, aged four weeks, whose parents reside at No. l,
Love-court, Bowyer-lane. The deceased was the son of a carpen-
ter. who had latterly led a life of dissipation and drunkenness,
neglecting his family, and leaving them without the necessary food
for days together. On Tuesday last the mother went to Peckham
friar, near the Surrey Canal, In search of her husband, where she
found him, but she was unable to obtain any money. She subse-
quently met some friends and went home intoxicated. At a lato
hour the parents went to bed with the deceased, but during the night
the mother got on the body of the deceased, and at five o'clock the
following day the child iwas discovered quite dead and black in the
face. Mr. Blaxland, the surgeon, was called in, but his serviced
were of no avail. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death."

DEATH FROM EARLY WEANING.—OR Saturday after-
noonlMr. Wm Baker, Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at the Jolly
, eavers, John's-row, St. Luke's on the body of Jane Carpenter, live
months old, who died from starvation, in consequence of having been
too early weaned. The body had been exhumed on account of a
report that death had been caused by laudanum. It appeared from
the evidence, that the deceased was the offspring of a single young
woman, named Rebecca Carpenter. She, about two months after
the birth of her child, went into service, on which she put it out to
dry nurse, in the care of a married woman of the name of Mitchell.
About five wet ks subsequent to its being there, as she found it almost
always asleep, she st ent with it to Dr. Reece, who remarked that
some sleeping medicine had been given to it, which was denied by
the nurse. The deceased, however, continued in a similar state, was
always fretful, and from being a fine healthy child became painfully
emaciated. She then took it toe Mrs. Arnold, where it died on that
day week, and was buried on the following Thursday. Mr. J. Cour-
tenay, surgeon, Finsbury-terrace, made the post mortein examination.
He found all the vital organs in a healthy state, but much emaciated.
its
natural attributed death to starvation, from the deceased not having
natural diet, or to exhaustion from diarrhoea, consequent upon too
early weaning. Verdict, " That the deceased died through exhaus-
tion from diarrhoea, consequent upon too early weaning."
FATAL ACCIDENT IN ,THE LONDON DOClCS.—Yes-
terday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. W. Baker, jun., at
the Duke of Wellington, Cannon-street, St. George's-in-the East, on
the body of Robert Weston, aged forty, late watchman in the London
Docks. It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday evening
last the deceased was standing on the gunwale of a barge lying in
the Wapping basin. He was ordered to go on shore by his foreman,
when his foot slipped and he fell Into the water, and immediately
disappeared. Several labourers repaired to the spot, and succeeded
in recovering the body shortly afterwards, but he was quite dead.
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
IMPORTATION OF FRUIT AND CATTLE. Yesterday,
the Columbine steam-ship, from Rotterdam, arrived in the Pool,,
with 700 baskets of fruit, consisting of currants and apricots. The
steam-ship Rapid, from Harlingen, arrived on Sunday afternoon,
with 80 bullecks and 101 sheep. The Neptune steam-ship, from
Hamburgh, also brought 50 bullocks, 11 calves, and a large quantity
of yeast. _

THE DAGENHAM MURDER.—We have been informed
;:pon good authority that no Clue has yet been obtained to the party
who committed the murder of the late-police-constable Clarke., at
Dagenham. early on the morning of the 13th of June last; and as it
is deemed possible that the guilty person may have been injured in
some way in conflict with the deceased, it would serve the ends of
justice if any surgeon of a hospital or dispensary, or any.Privete me-
dical practitioner who has attended an individual injured about that
time, will give immediate information to the police authorities .01

WOOLWICH, JULY 27.—Intelligence having been received
at the Woolwich Dockyard that their Majesties the King and

steam-vessel ; Commander Caffin, of the Scourge bomb
steam-vessel; Master Commander Cook, of the Black Eagle

Lord Byron and Lora Gwyn Lennox arrived lieflire one
o'clock with two of the Carriiges, and M. Van de
Weyer, the Belgian Minister, to receive and attend their
Majesties to Buckingham Palace.
At a few minutes before two o'clock the signal was given
that the Garland steam-vessel was in sight, with the royal
standard of Belgium at the mast-head.
At ten minutes past two o'clock their Majesties landed,
and were received by the naval and military officers and
heads of the departments of the dockyard and numerous
respectably dressed spectators uncovered, and walked along
the wharf, which was covered with green baize, to one of
the royal carriages, escorted by Captain Superintendent
Houston Stewart and Major-General Sir Thomas Dewnman,
the guard of honour of the Royal Marines presenting arms,
and the band playing the national anthem. Captain Flude's

ingham Palace, haying declined an escort of the Royal Horse
Artillery, under the command of Lieut. Adey, in attendance
to accompany them en route.

His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge and his
Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklen-

Thomas Downman, C.B. and K.C.H., Colonel Turner, C. 8.,
Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, Brigade-Major Cuppage, and
Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General,
with a number of officers of the Royal Regiment of Artllery.
His Royal Highness and the Grand Duke then proceeded to
the square where the horses of the brigade of artillery are
kept, and witnessed the short period required to bring out
and mount them in review order. The troops of Royal Horse
Artillery, under the command of Colonel Wylde, C. 8.,
with Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge, K.H., second in com-
mand, walked to the common, and at the west gate of the

nessed the mode in which the guns of this branch
of the ordnance service were attached and made ready for

dant the royal visitors and staff occupying a station at the
flag-staff, walked past, and then at trot and full gallop,
affording evident gratification to the royal visitors by the
celerity and precision of the movements. The troops were
then exercised in the whole of the evolutions of the
Royal Horse Artillery, and though the ground was very
dry and hard, performed the whole in a most admirable
and highly efficient manner. On the gun carriages being
dismounted, his Roval Highness Prince George went
up with Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and
witnessed the details of the movements very minutely, and
at the conclusion thanked Colonel Whyte and the officers
and men in the name of the Grand Duke and himself, for
the gratification they had experienced in witnessing the ex-
ercises of the gallant corps under his command. His Royal
Highness was received, on arriving at the common, with a
general salute, the brass band of the corps playing the Na-
tiocial anthem. On their Highnesses' departure, a salute was
fired from the guns of the Royal Horse Artillery. During
the period the royal visitors remained at the garrison the
royal standard was hoisted at the mortar battery, and their
Highnesses witnessed the last round of mortar practice car-
ried on by the gentlemen cadets, at a flag-staff eight hun-
dred and fifty yards distance.
After. leaving the cloinnsotr their Highnesses proceeded
to the mess-room of the Ordnance corps, and partook
of an elegant dejune, the band of the Royal Artillery playing
in front several of the finest airs and marches. Shortly
after three o'clock their Highnesses proceeded to the landing
place, and embarked in one of the Waterman's steamers for
town.

tions at the Mill-hill Grammar School, Hendon, and while on his
way home in his employer's cart, near the Small-pox Hospital. at
Battle bride, he overbalanced himself, and fell over the end of the
cart into the carriage-way. He was raised up by his friends and
carried to a surgeon's, but he refused to go in, and was consequently
taken home with all speed, where he was placed under the care of
Mr. Thomas, surgeon, of No. 68, London-road. There appeared no
external marks of violence, excepting a contusion on the scalp from
the fall. Symptoms of inflammation of the brain subsequently came
on, which terminated fatally on Friday morning last. The jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death."
ACCIDENT FROM MACHlNERY.—Yesterday a distress-
ing accident occurred to a man named Robert ?larding, aged twenty-
eight years, a paper maker, residing at Carshalton, Kent. Ile was
in the employ of Mr. Muggeridge, proprietor of the paper mills, at
Carsbalton, and while walking up a ladder to a platform with a
heavy load of wet rags, it gave way, and his leg got into one of the
cog. wheels, and before it could be extricated his left leg was literally
crushed to pieces. He was seen by a surgeon, who recommended
his removal to St. Thomas's Hospital, whither he was taken in a
cart. The injuries he had sustained were of such a character that it
was deemed necessary to resort to amputation. The poor fellow is
going on as'well as can be expected.
