TRENT VALLEY MIDLANDS and GRAND
JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have to inform their Shareholders,
that the Committee appointed to decide upon the group of railways
in which this Company's project is included, has been appointed to
meet on MONDAT NEXT.

The Subscribers are already aware that an arrangement for amal-
gamation has been concluded with the South Staffordshire Company,
and that therefore the main expense of a Parliamentary conflict will
be avoided ; the only point open for decision in Committee being,
whether the route proposed by this Company or that proposed by
the opposing Company shall be adopted.
The conclusion of the Committee on this point cannot involve any
lengthened sittings, and so soon as it shall be announced, the Share-
holders will be in a condition to arrive at a satisfactory vote upon the
entire measure.

The Directors have, therefore, thought it expedient to postpone the
meeting, which could otherwise have been immediately convoked, in
obedience to the new Sessional Orders ; but it will be called on as
eariy a day subsequent to the decision of the Committee as the requi-
site forms will allow.

Prospects in the tipper House, with reference to the corn
measure, look more propitious at the present moment than
could reasonably have been anticipated at so early a period
of the discussion. All those insidious rumours which were
recently propagated in certain quarters, to the effect that a

separation would occur among the Liberal Peers, so as not

merely to endanger the acceptance of the Bill intact, but to
. render the ultimate triumph of the protective principles
almost a matter of certainty, have now altogether evaporated

THE Al 6GEMENT.
PART I.—Shows how Mr. Brat-tel, in 1838, persuaded the Directors
of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, -assuring
them that this railway would ha- re " no connexion with any other
of the main lines;" and how, in '(S4S, he attempted to force a con-
nexion between it and the ina4n. lines, at Wolverhampton, Rugby,
Dorchester, &c.—How Mr. Bru• let stated that carriages and trucks
would not pass from one railway to another, being different pro-
perties, whereas more than half a million are passing annually at the
present time.--How Mr. Brunet, in 1838, adopted the Broad Gauge,
for the express reason that the railway would be nearly level, and
have very slight curves ; and ',low, in after years, he applied the
Broad Gauge to Railways having the steepest gradients and the
sharpest curves.—How Mr. Bi•rtel said, in 1839, that " be never re-
commended the Broad Gauge for the purpose of having larger en-
glaes ;" and how, in 1845, it axis his boast that he was building en
glues wider and lart.er. flow Mr. Brunel selected the Broad
Prange because he could place the bodies of the carriages within the
wheels, and how he has alwayu brought them outside the wheels.—
How Mr. Brunel advocates the atmospheric system, which in all
essential paints is the exact cot Irene of the Broad Gauge System.
PART ll.—Shows what Mr. Satindp.rs thought of competition in
1844, when he was a disinter espliyty, and what he said about

CORN-LAWS.

Lord CHARLEVILLE presented a petition from a place,
the name of which we did not catch, against any alteration in
the corn-laws.

Lord LONDONDERRY presented a petition in favour of
the measure now belore the House with reference to corn.
The inhabitants of Stockton-upon-Tees stated that they
would not support any candidate fur the county unless he was
pledged to free trade principles.—( A laugh.) With respect
to their petition, which had been presented by the Noble Duke
on the cross benches, he would be glad to say a few words on
it, but as he believed that their Lordships were not willing to
have any observations made on petitions, he would in the
course of the evening take an opportunity of stating very
shortly his opinions upon the subject.
BIRTH OF A PRINCESS.

The Duke of WELLINGTON then rose, and said—My
Lords, I have to announce to your Lordships that her Majesty
was safely delivered of a Price, ss this day at three o'clock in
the afternoon, and, according to usual practice, I now, my
Lords, move that an humble address be presented to her
Majesty, cougratulating her _Majesty on the birth of another
Princess, and assuring her Majesty that every addition to her
Majesty's domestic happiness affords the highest satisfaction
to the House of Lords.
Lord MELBOURNE seconded the motion.
It was then put and carried nenzi,e emtradicente.
RAILWAY LEGISLA'IIUN.

Earl FITZ Vtr ILLIAM said they were now very close upon
the recess, and he was desirous of inquiring of Her Majesty's
Ministers what course they intended to take with respect to
railway legislation. Their Lordships would recollect that
some weeks ago resolutions were passed and an Act
of Parliameht was ?reposed, with a view of
what might be called thinning the railways. As far as he had
been enabled to observe, these measures had produced very
little effect. He was, therefore, very desirous of knowing
whether her Majesty's Ministers were prepared to brirg in any
measure which should be more efficient. If they should fail to
do so, he should feel it his duty, after the recess, to propose to
their Lordships some measure which he thought would be more
effective. 'I he measure which- he should suggest to their
Lordships would be---he was not quite determined upon it at
present— but what he thought he should recommend, would be,
for their Lordships to postpone the third reading of every rail-
way Bill, which might be in their Lordship,' House, until the
whole number of railway Bills which might come up from the
other House of Parliament should be waiting for a third
reading, in order ihat their Lordships might take into their
consideration the whole mass of those measures and select
such as they might deem desirable to sanction.
The Duke of WELLINGTON—My Lords, my Noble
Friend the President of the Bea-d of Trade not having had
any notice of the question is not at present in the Home, and
lam unable to give any answer myself. I will let my Noble
Friend know of the no, tee which the Noble Lord has given.

THAMES.

Mr. Hill, the gentleman who was defrauded by Joseph
My of five shillings' worth of stamps, with the expec-
tation of " hearing something to his advantage," waited
upon the magistrate with a communication from Sir
Peter Laurie respecting this man's practices ; and after
stating that he should be able to prove his case against
Ady, who was now in custody, left the magistrate a
copy of a printed circular, forwarded from the Mansion-
house, cautioning persons from being taken in and
cheated by letters addressed to them by Ady, and from
paying any attention to the references as to character
given by him. It is understood that Joseph Ady will have
to answer several charges upon his next examination.

GROUP I.
THE LONDON AND YORE.
The Committee met again this day at eleven o'clock, the Earl of
Lovelace, Chairman.

eggTHE EASTERN covrivms.
The evide in this part-heard case wall resumed.
Mr. John Furze, of Amphill, was examin ed by Mr. AUSTIN—The
witness was of opinion that the cornmunteation between Hertford
and London would be better served by the Eastern Counties line of
railway than by the London and York.
The witness was briefly cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant KING.
LAKE.

Mr. ilenshaw, a farmer at Hertford, was also examined on the
same points.

In his cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant RINGLAKE, he admitted
that, so far as the direct communication 'with London and other
parts on the Brie, the London and York would be of great advantage.
The communication between Hertford, Ware, and Biggleswade, was
what principally affected him, and by the Eastern Counties scheme
he would be better served than by the other. With regard to those,
however, trading between those places and London, the London and
York was the best adapted.

Mr. Sedgwick, professor of surgery, was examined by Mr. HOPE—
Was of opinion that the Cambridge and Lincoln line was most im-
portant to the people of Cambridge, and to the University of that
place. The communication proposed by the Cambridge and Lincoln
branch of the Eastern Counties line was admirably adapted to
supply the deficiency of communication 'which now existed, and
was very generally felt. The cuttings on the Cambridge and Lincoln,
as proposed by the Eastern Counties, we re light ; whereas, on the
communication proposed by the branch of the London and York line
to Cambridge, the cuttings were very grearit, the stratum being oulite,
which was very difficult in many parts.
Cross-examined by Mr. PAGETT—Had Dot examined the plans of
the Eastern Counties scheme. Had not ;had time, if so inclined,
as he did not have an intimation of his having to be ex-
amined till ten o'clock on Saturday night. He would not go so far
as saying that the branch line of the Loi .n and York to Cambridge
could not be made ; on the contrary, it *iv; is already partly made by
another Company. He was of opinion tha t the line proposed by the
Eastern Counties was the most easy of construction, and the best
adapted to the convenience of Cambridge..

BY Lord VivraN—Had frequently .tr,ave lied from Cambridge to
London by railway. Had never met with any thing like great incon-
venience by the Eastern Counties line. lucre was a large number
of stations on the line at which the slow grins stopped, but the mail
trains went quick enough. Complaints were often made, but he at-
tributed the delays to the frequent stoppagleit of the slow trains at the
various stations.
Major Hardy, of Falkingham, near Linoorn,
was called to speak to
the advantage of the Cambridge and Lincc an line.

HER MAJESTY.

BIRTH OF A PBINCESS.

(From the London Gazette Extraordinary of this day.)

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, Mir 23, 1346.

At fire minutes before three o'clock this afternoon the
Queen was happily delivered of a Princess. Ills Royal
Highness Prince Albert, several Lords of her Majesty's
most Honourable Privy Council, and the Ladies of her
Majesty's Bedchamber were present.

This great and important news was immediately
made known to the town by the firing of the Park
and Tower guns ; and the Privy Council being
assembled as soon as possible thereupon, at the Council-
Chamber, Whitehall, it was ordered that a Form of
Thanksgiving for the Queen's safe delivery of a Princess
be prepared by his Grace the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, to be used in all churches and chapels throughout
England and Wales, and the town of Berwick-upon-
Tweed, on Sunday the 31st of May, or the Sunday after
the respective ministers shall receive the same.
Her Majesty and the infant Princess are, God be
praised, both doing well.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSTON V. NORRIS.
_ _ .

In this case it appeared that the parties stood in the respec-
tive position towards each other of landlord and tenant ;
that an understanding had been entered into between them
by which the plaintiff (the tenant) was bound to pay his
rent at a certain time, the landlord paying the taxes, and if
not paid within 28 days after that day, the tenant should
cease to occupy. The tenant had not complied with the
terms of the agreement, and the landlord took possession,
which the tenant conceived was an illegal act and took an
action, but the jury found for the defendant. Counsel for
plaintiff now sought for a rule for a new trial upon the
grounds that he occupied under a lease.
The COURT was of opinion that the agreement between
the parties included any other title, and refused the rale.

BEALE v. 310 LES AND OTHERS.

In this case the plaintiff had agreed to build a steam
boiler for a certain sum, of which 4901. was the balance, for
the defendants, who called themselves " The Common Road
Steam Carriage Company." The action was for goods bar-
gained and sold, and an account stated, and the jury found
for the plaintiff. Counsel now applied for a rule to show
cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new
trial granted, upon various grounds, all of which involved
points of legal technicality.—Judgment deferred.
