ITALLETTE'S ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.
We have been informed, on good authority, that the Direc-
tors of Hallette's Atmospheric Railway Company, which has been
duly registered, have this week completed their agreement with
Monsieur Haltette.

The Deeds of Assignment were executed at the Company's Offices
on Wednesday last, and the Patents for Great Britain, Ireland, the
Colonies, and Plantations, and for the several European countries of
the Continent, were handed over by Monsieur Ballette.to the Directors.
The invention is now the property of an English Company. Many
scientific persons, who have visited the model at Peckham, are im-
pressed with a very favourable opinion of the efficiency of the longi-
tudinal valve, and of the simplicity of the system altogether. It is
now fairly before the public, and must await the judgment of our
eminent engl►ieers. '

RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(YESTERDAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS. .
The Committe on the Direct London and Portsmouth—Guildford,
Chichester, Portsmouth, and Fareharn—and the Epsom and Dorking
Bills, Lord Beaumont (Chairman), met at eleven this morning in
Room A (New Houses of Parliament).
•

The first case taken was that of the
DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOITTIL
3lr. Austin, Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Raw Union appeared formed pro-
moters. Mr. Cockburn and. Mr. Sergeaut Wrangham opp the
• Bill on the part of the Guildford and Chichester, and counsel also ap-
peared for the Rev. Mr. Cole's, of Bitcham House, near Peterstleld,
who petitioned against the Bill. •
Mr. Auntie addressed the Committee at great length on the part
of the promoters of the Bill.
Captain Sayer, formerly a captain in the marines, now a wine-
merchant at Portsmouth, gave general evidence in favour of this, and
against the opposing line. He spoke to the necessity for railway
communication, between the places accommodated by the line, and
gave his opinion, that this line would effect that communication
much better than the Guildford and Chichester would. The general
feeling was in favour of this line.
Mr. Carter, secretary to the Portsmouth and Rye Steam-Packet
Company, gave evidence in favour of the line. There was a great
communication between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, which
would be much increased by the accommodation to be given by this
line to the former place. The best mode of communication between
London, Ste., and the Isle of Wight would be vta Portsmouth, if there
were a railway such as the one pro. osed from London to Portsmouth.
Several other witnesses were called to show the advantages to
Portsmouth, Re., derivable from the proposed line, and to prove that
for the proposed Petersfield branch of the Guildford line.
The Earl of Lovelace gave evidence as to the want of communica-
tion in the districts through which the line would pass. He thought
the deficiency was sufficient to justify the making of a railway. The
Direct London and Portsmouth line would supply the deficiency.
His Lordship was cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILANGHADI on
the part of the Guildford and Chichester Railway.
On the concluson of this witness's evidence, it being now four
o'clock, the Committee rose and adjourned till to-morrow at eleven.
