IMPORTANT. DECISION. •
WEST RIDING UNION RAILWAY.
The Committee heard at some length the statements of the pro-
moters (who were represented by Mr. Darbyhire, the solicitor to the
Bill) and the counter-statements of the tmponents (who were ,
represented by Mr. Shrubsoe, of the firm- of Dyson and Hall).
The point to which the Committee confined their inquiries was the
effect which the error in the 'printing of the votes had
caused upon the , pecuniary affairs of the company as , relating
to the value of the shares, and the disappointment it had occasioned
to the public, and especially to the parties interested in the success
of the Bill resident is the West Riding of Yorkshire. After consider-
able discussion the ennwhittee decided that the standing orderg ought

made upon the subject, not enly on the . Stock Exchanges, but else-,

TEE OVERLAND MAIL.—The Bombay Journal of
Commerce of the 14th ult. contains a notice intimating that it has
been resolved to extend the subscriptions for the Waghorn testimo-
nial to that place, and that an agent has been appointed to receive
and remit such donations as the local community may be disposed to
contribute to the fund raising in London for thatpurpose. The news of
Mr. Waghort es celebrated journey by way of Trieste had reached India,
and given a new stimulus to the feeling in his favour connected with the
original opening and improvement of the route
ion is in to this country
re-
by
way of Egypt and the continent. Much speculatdulged in
specting the comparative merits of the Trieste and Marseilles routes,
with some leaning in favour of the latter, so far as speed is concerned ;
but all seem awake to the great advantage of ceas!ng to depend
absolutely upon the French Government for communications of such
vital importance ; and it is generally anticipated that for travellers
the Trieste route will have many points of preference. That part of
the transit which lies through Egypt is becoming a source of some
uneasiness in India, and all look forward with apprehension to the
period when the management of the conveyance shall be taken, as
is threatened, into the Dacha's own hands, subject to the powerful
influence of French intrigue in Egypt. The existing contract has
still, however, two years to run, and it is Impossible but that this
Government must be awake to the importance of profiting by the
interval, in obtaining proper guarantees that this route shall be
placed beyond the risk of disturbance or interference. It has become
a national question, and. every arrival that takes place adds to its
importance.
We regret to announce the decease of the infant son
of the Earl and . Countess of Clarendon, who expired on Thursday
morning after a short illness, arising • from teething, at the fanails
Mansion in Belgrave-square. The deceased infant had completed his
first year, and was the eldat son of the Noble Earl and her Ladyship.
It will be recollected that we annotincod the birth of a second son
only a few days
