merchant in Birmingham, gave evidence in favour of the
Birmingham and Oxfordshire (which is in connexion with
the Great Western), and against the Warwickshire and London
Railways, which are in connexion with the London and Birmingham.
lie had ceased to be a director of the latter-mentioned line ever
since the Act was passed, The people of Birmingham were greatly"'
dissatisfied with the company, on account of the high rates aad the
defective accommodation. The rate for the carriage of goods
from Birmingham to London was much higher than to
Hull, which was a greater distance. The effect of the
competing line would be to bring down the passengers' fare
in the first-class carriages, to fifteen shillings. The witness was con-
vinced that the traffice on the line was not half developed, and yet
it was already clogged. We understood the witness to infer that to
avoid danger and to provide sufficient accommodation another line
was necessary. He admitted that there had been hitherto fewer ac-
cidents on the Birmingham and London than on any other railway
of equal length and traffic. The Post-office had given them credit
as being the only line on which Post-office time waget. But he
paid little attention to that, for he found that they
sometimes
very irregular. He was favourable to the broad gauge, but if the
House of Commons would not allow it on the Oxford and Birming
ham Junction, he would still rather have the narrow gauge than lose
the line.
Other witnesses were examined to the same effect.
The Committee were occupied the remainder of the day with
evidence almost precisely of the same character.

crossed the Leeds and Manchester Railway, and joined
the North Midland about three miles from Leeds,
where it would effect a junction with all the lines radiating in that
neighbourhood. The line presented no engineering difficulties of a
peculiar character ; the gradients were of a favourable nature, and
the outlay for the construction of the line would be about 40,0001.

After hearing some 'lather evidence, the Committee rose, and
adjourned till twelve o'clock on Thursday.

GROUP XXXIX.
OLDUAM, LIVERPOOL;
AND nrstatErnman JUNCTION.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Other witnesses were called, who corroborated the evidence given.
Mr. Low, engineer of the line, stated that thelength of the line
from Manchester to Oldham was 7 miles and 6 chains, and of the
branch to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway 698 yards ; the
cost of the main line would be 288,542/., of the branch 21,8581., and
of stations 30,0001., In all 340,401/. There were 1,190 yards of tun-
nelling at a cost of 59,5001., and the viaducts and bridges would cost
101,5201. Fie rested the superiority of this line to the Manchester
and Leeds line on the stations at the termini, the better accommoda-
tion which it ofered to the coal-fields, doing little damage to pro-
perty as it passed through.
Cross-examined by Mr. lIILDTABD—Mr. Bidder was the engineer
whose name first appeared in the prospectus, but had nothing now to
do with it. Witness did not know what his opinion of the line, as
now laid out, might be. The line would be carried out from Man-
chester on arches for 70 chains, and the branch in the same way for
30 chains.
Mr. Lows evider.cewas confirmed by Messrs. Bateman and Rindal.
The-latter gentleman, in answer to a question put by the Com.
mittee, gave it as his opinion that the Increased per centage on the
price of railway works this year, arose upon earthwork entirely, and
unskilled labour.
The Cemraittte adjourned till twelve to-morrow.

IRMAGH, COLERAINE, and PORT•

RUSH RAILWAY.
A meeting of the shareholders in this railway took place
asterday, at 28, Laurence Pountney-lane, for the pa: pose of
devising means to protect the interests of the shareholders.
Mr. J. Carter took the chair at one o'clock.
Amost discursive discussion took place as to whether a com-
mittee of the shareholders should be appointed to negotiate
with the directors and induce them to dissolve.
It appeared that the directors had not adhered to their
prospectus, and in consequence the shareholders sought to
have ,a return of the whole of the capital paid up by way of
deposit on th' shares, at IL 7s. per share. An offer has been
held out of a return of LL, but this proposition was opposed.
Mr. PHILLIPS, a solicitor, at whose offices the meeting was
held, advised that the shareholders should compel the direc-
tors to refund the entire amount.
A resolution was proposed, appointing a committee to
communicate with the directors, which, if they could not get
the IL 7s. 6d. a share back, were to take the IL

small parcels. Holders of Seal are unwilling to reduce their
prices. Of Greenland Whale Oil 5 tuns at auction brought
251 10s. Sperm has been purchased with more freedom, but
prices are prevented from improving by the continued arri-
vals. There are sellers of Rape Seed 011 upon further
reduced terms. Although prices rule low for Linseed Oil, and the
supply small, still the business transacted has been limited, Olive
has been sparingly dealt in, although farther reduced rates have
been taken. Although there are further arrivals ofralm holders evince
firmness and supply the market moderately ; a goof demand has
existed privately, Cocoa Nut has met with increased attention, and
owing to the small supply buyers have been compelled to pay stiffer
rates.
Hops.—Prices continue to decline, and may be quoted 8s per cwt.
lower than this day week. The market, is very inactive, owing to
the continuance of hot weather, which does not suit the vermin, and
which has much decreased. In fa..t, the files are all gone, and lice
are daily diminishing. The appearance of a large yield of Hops, at
present Is very promising, and the quality is likely to be finer than
that of last season.

plied as soon as possible. I deny that there was any
furious drivingl; if there was, how could the driver have
come up with u 3 in an instant ?
Alderman Ginns—You seem not to be aware that you
are liable to a 5/. penalty for taking the reins.
The defendant—The reins were handed to me by a
man who stood at the head of the horses. The driver
caught me by the throat in the most violent manner,
and I had no idea of a contest with him, as a matter of
course. But I believe lam here upon a charge of felony ?
Alderman GIBBS (to the driver)—Did the defendant
strike you ?
The driver—Yes, I'll swear he struck me twice ; be-
fore I had a finger upon him, he assaulted me.
The man who had the care of the horsess confirmed the
account given by the driver, and stated that the defen-
dant galloped the horses to the end of London-street.
Alderman GIBBS—I Shall not consider the part of this
case which charges the defendant with the assault ; but
I shall convict him for having driven- without a license,
and for having furiously driven, and I fine him 40s. for
each offence. _ _

The defendant immediately paid the penalties.
Upon being asked for his name and address, as the
driver might think proper to proceed against him for
the assault, the defendant said he resided at the Bur-
lington Hotel, and that his name was not John Thomas,
but he would answer to that name if called upon.
