The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having been mode-

Grey in the chair.
IPSWICH, NORWICH, AND YARMOUTH.
The engineering evidence was proceeded with.
kr. Bendel, engineer, examined—The whole cost of the line, with
its branches, was 671 miles, I furlong, and the estimate of the whole
works was 806,0321. There were no engineering difficulties of any
magnitude, and in his opinion, the estimates were quite sufficient to
construct the works.
Mr. Bidder, civil engineer, corroborated the evidence of the last witness.

Formal evidence as to the estimates, &c., having been given in,
the case for the promoters closed.
Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, on behalf the promoters of the Waveaey
Valley line; then addressed the Committee on the general case.
The room was then cleared, and on our re -admission,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the preamble of the Ipswich, Nor-
wich, and Yarmouth Railway was not proved; that the preamble of
the Halesworth and Norwich Railway was not proved; that the
preamble of the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds (Norwich Ex-
tension) was proved ; that the preamble of the Norfolk Railway
(Extension to . Stowmarket, Ste.) was not proved; and that the
Waveney VAlley and Great Yarmouth Railway was not proved.
Ihe Committee were of opinion, however, that Yarmouth was en-
titled to a' inert direct communication with London, and that the
Buugay andß eccles district was entitled to railway communication.
'I he committee adjourned till to-morrow, to consider the clauses of
the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway, and will then adjourn
to the Wednesday atter the recess, when they will proceed with the
Lowestoft and Beccles Railway and Drainage Bill.

GROUP XXXf.
PORTIMIty PIER AND RAILWAY.
The Committee resumed the investigation of this scheme this'
morning, and were occupied during a cons-dtrable portion of the day
in hearing discussions on various clauses in the Bill. No feature of
any public interest was elicited, as the opposition was confined exclu-
sively to the clauses, and involved only local claims.
Several new clauses having been introduced into the Bill with the
sanction of the Committee, and the tolls clause having been revised,
the Bill was ordered to be reported, and the Committee adjourned.

The Committee met this day at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Love-
lace, chairman.

air. Lane, a trafllc-taker, was called to speak to the comparative
amount of traffic of the Eastern Counties and the London and York
lines.

Mr. Pl.arrT objected to the Eastern Counties Company examining
in detail on the to attic evidence, and the Committee having curtailed
that portion of the case for the London and York,
A long discussion then sprung up on this objection, after which
the room was cleared.
After a lengthened consultation the parties were called in, when the
following decision was given by the Chairmen :
The Committee resolved not to hear further evidence as to the traffic,
on the ground that the tables given in on both sides showed very
similar results in some of their component items, and that the dis-
trict traversed by both the competing lines, with their respective
branches and with the transverse railways which communicated with
them, will constitute a sufficient revenue for either project.
The ease was thenproceeded with in accordance with this decision.

J. Jones. Esq., vice-president of the Charter GI CIOTHROTCe, Guern-
sey, was examined on behalf of the Great Western Company, hpt
his evidence was not of a nature even to benefit the South-Western
Company. The principal parts of his evidence went to show the
convenience of a railway from Weymouth to the northern, western,
and eastern parts of the country. lit cross.examination, however, he
admitted that all the railways were at present constructed limn
which he could derive any advantage.
Captain White, commander a steam-vessel between ilouthamptou
and Jersey, proved the superiority of Weymouth over Portsmouth
as a hathoUr for the trade ot the Channel Islands.
11r. Devenish was next examined—ln the course of his examina-
tion, however,
The CHAIRMAN stated that his evidence, in his opinion, went as
much in favour of the Exeter and Yeovil Company as for the Great
Western.
Mr. Cullen and Mr. Fox were also called on behalf of the Sunlit:
Western Company.
At the conclusion of the last witness's examination, the CHAIRMAN
ordered the room to be cleared.
On the parties being re-admitted, the CustausN announced that
the Committee had desired him to intimate to the parties that they
should endeavour to ascertain whether it would not ite practiCable to
Aanstruct the line between Exeter and Yeovil, in such a manner, that it
might amt both gauges. They wished it at the same time to be dia.
tinctly understiscd that the opinion of the Committee was not to be
considered as favourable either one scheme or other.

GI:OUP I.
LONDONNE) TOIL= (THE EASTERN
COUNTIES).
The Committee met at eleven o'clock this morning ; the Earl of
Lovelace, chairman.

The Committee intimated to the parties, that when the crVe
.for
the Eastern Counties closed, they would, after hearing Mr. Austin's
speech, take the case for the Cambridge and Lincoln, and Leeds and
York line. After hearing that case they would then call on Mr. Ser-
geant Wrangham. to reply to the whole case for the Eastern Coun-
Hos, after which they would come to a decision on the trunk line.
Mr. Hudson was then called and briefly re-examined by M. HorE --The lion. Member stated that he cculd compete with the -
London ai.d York line supposing it were made ; he could also carry
the public and goods at a cheaper rate and quite as speedily, if not
more so. The fir he had made the London cod York shareholders
was that which subjected them to the abandonment of the Main
line and placing Cambridge on the trunk line. The Eas"
tern Counties Company did not court the proposed connexion
with the London and lurk ; it was complained of by persons repre-
senting about lorty ti ousand shares in the London and York line,
that the Easti rim Counties had not made au oiler to thent lor the
purpose of an amalgamation Soon utter this complaint was made at a
public meeting he immediately wrote a letter to the directors of the
London and York, proposing terms of amalgamation. The negotia-
tion ended in n•dhing.
Mr. Stepheeson, civil engineer, was then called and examined b 7
Mr. AUSTIN.

GROUP X.
The Committee met to-day at one o'clock, in room No. 1 (House of
Commons) ; p isen- , Mr. Dcedes, chairman, and the usual Member!:
They were at first occupied with some arrangement respecting th°
new clauses of the

GLASGOW, AIRDRIE, AND MON/MANX°
XITNCTIOTif,
respecting which, as far as the reporter could understand, there
been some slight misconception.
•
They then called on the panic s in the
CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW, GARNXIIa4
AND coalman) E BRANCHES)r
in whi.•ll, yesterday the Committee decided that the preambr
was net proved, as tar as concerned the e. irdrie and Coatbridge po-
tion of the line. The part of the preamble remaining to be ellePesed
of relates to what is i nown as the

GAR.TC.A.SII BRANCH.
Mr. GRAHAM, agent for the promoters, informed the Committal
that there was only one opponent to the measure, whose consent it,
the Bill had, however, been obtained, and final arrangements
proceeding to allow the Bill to pass unopposed.
After some conversation the Committee adjourned to three o'clock'
give time for preparation of the clauses, according to the arrange'
ment stated. •

.&NXI LEICESTER.

---- -----
The Committee resumed their labours this morning by proceeding
with the further consideration of the shave scheme. The case
the promoters not having been finished, witnesses from Cove,afrv.,
Birmingham, and Leicester, and their locality, were called to pro r*
the extensive mineral and other tradle in those parts, and the neees—

sit,' that existed for the construction of aline of railway to accommo-
date the traffic, and furnish a free intercommunication.
The engineering evidence: was gone into, from which it appeared
that the line could be constructed without having to contend against
any peculiar difficulties, and that the estimates were fully sufficient
to carry out the construction of the works.
The line of examination was objected to on several occasions
during the progress of the inquiry by the opponents to the scheme,
but the o;jections were not always sustained.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

THE WINTER COAT AND THE
SUMMER COAT.
A winter coat and one for summer weather
Were heard the other day, in chat together.
" l'ray can you tell me (said the Winter Dress)
Why I am daily noticed less aad less ?
A short time back (as no one disbelieves)
I end my master were as thick as thieves.'
Oa all occasions he would put me on,
And say I made him look a downright don ;'
And often would my master sondes, end
To designate me as his faithful friend.
But things are alter'd now. What shall I do ?
I cannot tell the reason, Sir, can you ?"
" Yes (said the other), I have got your place ;
There's nothing more than common in your case.
Our master read of MOSES" summer wrapper s.
And knowing they were nothing short of uppers,
He went to MOSES' newly open'd Mart,
And purchas'd one particularly smart.
I am the very coat he bought of MOSES.
You see what style my modern maize discloses.
MOSES and SON have pleas'd him so, with me,
That you are quite forgotten, don't you see ?
Pesides, I'm suited to the summer season,
And that's, of course, a most important reason.
The cold of winter now is tar remote,
And hence our master needs a summer coat."

A. New Work, entitled " Past, Present, and Future," with full
directions for self-measurement, may be had on application, or
forwarded, " Post Free."
