GROUP XX,

This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock ; Mr. Sotheron in the
chair.

LONDON, HOUNSLOW AND WESTERN.

The case on behalf of this Bill was resumed.
Mr. Tyson, of Staines, gave general evidence as to the advantages
the proposed line, would confer on that town and neighbourhood, in
which a great depreciation of property had taken place from the want
of railway accommodation.

George Beesley, landlord of the Windsor Castle, Hammersmith,
deposed as to the benefit the line would confer in that locality.
Mr. Charles Brown, builder, of Hammersmith, gave evidence to
the same effect.

Evidence of the same character was given by Mr. Beck and Mr.
Brown, of Staines.

GROUP XXVII.
This Committee met this morning at the usual hour ; Sir C. Lemon
in the chair.

SOUTH MIDLAND, AND LEICESTER. AND
BEzpoRD (COMPETING) LINES.

Mr. PAGET replied on behalf of the promoters of the Leicester and
Bedford Railway, upon the supplemental engineering evidence ad-
duced yesterday.

Mr. MACAULEY replied els behalf of the promoters of the South
Midland scheme, and addressed the Committee upon the general
case.

GROUP XXX[.

SOUTH WALES (APACENDIVIENTS AND DE-.

VIATIONS).
The Committee met this morning at the usual hour ; Mr. Round in
the chair.

The opponents of the Margem deviation proceeded to call evidence
against the project.

Mr. Whateley and Mr. Venables appeared for Mr. Talbot, a large
landowner in the vicinity of the line.
Several witnesses were examined, who agreed in opinion that the
proposed deviation from the line as passed last session would injure
the trade of Bridgend, Cowbridge, &c., as it would create a new line
at the commencement of the deviation, which would withdraw the
trade from Bridgend, which now supplied the inhabitants of the val-
ley of Glamorganshire with the materials used in their avocations,
and also the necessaries of life. One stated that at the point ofjunc-
tion there were a number of old now unworked, and that there
had been two sinkings on the Perth Canal Railway in consequence of
some of these pits being below it, but they were not of a serious
nature.

STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE.

The following resolutions were reported from this Committee:-
1. That, in the case of the Harrogate Gas Bill Amendments on
consideration of report, the amendments are of such a nature as not
to be adopted by the House without the re-commitment of the Bill.
2. That, in the case of the Caledonian Railway (Glasgow Termini
and Brancher) petition for additional provision, the standing orders
ought to be dispensed with :—That the parties be permitted to intro-
duce such additions/ provision, if the Committee on the Dill should
think fit.
3. That, in the case of the Darwen Waterworks petition for addi-
tional provision, the standing orders ought not to be dispensed with.
4. That, in the case of the Norfolk Railway Extension (Thetford
to Recdhion Branches—No. 2) petition for leave to present a petition
for a Bill, the standing orders ought not to be dispensed with.
Second resolution agreed to.—Report to lie on the table.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

From the Votes and Proceedings of the Ifonse of Commons.)

TUESDAY, itAY 19.
BRIDPORT ELECTION.

Motion made, and Question proposed, " That the petition of
William Rockett be referred to a Select Committee, which shall be
appointed, to inquire into all the circumstances under which Joseph
Welch gave evidence before the Select Committee on the Bridport
Election petition that William Rockett voted for Mr. Romilly, and
whether any compromise or arrangement was entered into by the
parties to the petition, their counsel, or agents, to prevent the dis-
closure of bribery or treating ; and also whether, and to what ex-
tent, bribery and treating were practised at the last election for the
borough of Bridport:"—Amendment proposed, to leave out from the
word " Romilly" to the end of the Question :—Question put, " That
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question." The
Rouse divided :—Ayes, 47 ; Noes, 47 : —And the numbers being
equal, Mr. Speaker said, That as the House had no better means of
forming a judgment upon the question than the Election Committee,
who had already declined to entertain it, and as it would still be open
to any elector of the borough, under the provisions of the Act 5 and
6 Vic. c. 2, to present a petition to the House, praying thata Com-
mittee, having power to examine upon oath, might be appointed to
investigate the subject of bribery and compromise, he therefore de-
clared himself with the Noes.

as the " Ablest" of the " Popular Papers." It says there Is no
• Paper conducted with more talent or success," and that " it is
especially remarkable, not only for the great quantity of news it affords,
and the admirable arrangement of its matter—well illustrated by
accompanying observations—but for the ability and variety of its
original articles, in the form of leaders and letters. The advantage
of this ability is enhanced by its being displayed on other than mere
political questions, so that the range of topics is more large and gene-
rally interesting. Thus it is worth mentioning, that it was the only
Paper which, during the late controversy between the Press and the
Bar, took up the case of the latter, in a series of letters marked by
great talent."

CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD.

Evidence was continued this morning to show that the private
wells in the town of Cheltenham would sustain little or no injury
from the cuttings of the railway whore it passes through the sand.
Mr. Andrew Paul, surveyor, stated that where the Bir-
mingham and Gloucester Railway passes the High-street,
Cheltenham, by a cutting through the private wells in the
vicinity, they contained from four to eleven feet of water above the
bottom of the railway ; and that in the wells along the proposed line
from Duke-street to the intended station the water stands now about
the same level as the bottom of the projected cuttings, so that there
was no probability of their being at all affected. He believed that
the cuttings near New-street, where the clay was nearer the surface,
could be so managed, by puddling and by underground construction,
as to prevent the escape or the cutting off the water from the town.
These facts were affirmed, and the evidence corroborated by other
witnesses—by Messrs. Onley, Wright, Millar, and Simpson.
At this point Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the line, should have
been produced for examination, but he was under examination in
another room, and Mr. Austin applied to have an adjournment till
to-morrow, at twelve.
The Committee adjourned accordingly.

OVER LAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.
(From the Morning Herald.)

We have received, by Extraordinary Express, our
advices from India and China, in anticipation of the
mail. The dates are Calcutta, April 7 ; MadraF,
April 13 ; Bombay, April 15 ; China, March 29. At
this late hour Re have only time to publish the following
abstract of the intelligence:—

SUMMARY.
(From the Bombay Times of April 15.)

The last fortnight has proved so perfectly barren of in-
telligence that it is next to impossible to make a
summary ; nor do matters promise to mend for
a long time to come. Peace and prosperity,
wise rulers and a happy people, may be well
enough in their way ; they are the worst things
in the world for the journalist !—The Commander-
in-Chief, like the Governor-General, has quitted the
Punjaub ; the British garrison remains inactive at
Lahore, where the people are conducting themselves
with propriety ; but there seems a considerable
amount of turbulence up and down throughout the
country. The new cantonments were being arranged

LONDON AND SOUTH ESSEX.

The cross-examination of Mr. Locke, the engineer to the line, was
resumed this morning. The cross •examination was on the part of
the commissioners of the. river Lea navigation, who objected to the
line on the ground that the bridges by which it proposed to cross the
river would very seriously and injuriously interfere with the naviga-
tion. ➢ir. Locke was, however, of opinion that no danger or even
inconvenience would arise, and that the line was free from all engi-
neering difficulties whatever.

ROWING MATCH.

The Ariel scratch four-oared match for silver medals, from
Vauxhall to Putney, was rowed on Tue lay evening at half-
past six. The following were the crews :
Light Blue—Gill, Teversham, and C. Cooper. Allen
(stroke) ; Churchill (coxswain).
Pink—Frisby, Williams, and Dodd. Rowland (stroke) ;
P. Groves (coxswain).
Red—H. Cooper, niplan, and T. Groves. Plunkett
(stroke) ; Yeo (coxswain).

The start was well effected by the Royal Academy Club,
who kindly officiated as umpires. For some distance the
crews kept beautifully together, Red slightly leading at the
Belgrave Dock, but off the Red-house Light Blue drew
gradually ahead, and went through Battersea-bridge five or
six lengths in advance. In crossing from Battersea Church
the boats were all filled, the wind blowing a perfect hurricane
down the river. Light Blue, however, still maintained the
lead, and came in a winner by twenty length?, Pink beating
Red by about the same distance.
The winners rowed in a beautiful cutter built by Noulton
and Wyld for the Trident Club.
