RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(THIS DAY.)

GROUP IV.

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the
schemes comprised in this group re-assembled at the usual hour
this morning, Mr. B. W. Hope in the chair.
PERTH AND INVERNESS.

Mr. HILL appeared this morning to open a case for a landholder,
who was opposed to the line, and who charged the promoters with
fraud and willfully deluding the public and the Committee, but his
opening address was interrupted by

The CHAIRMAN, who thOught It was better to postpone these
charges until the case for the promoters of the scheme had bean
brought to a close. _

After some discussion, this course was adopted, and the land.
holder's case postponed accordingly.
The engineering evidence of the Perth and Inverness was then re.
sumed.

Mr. Alfred Jee, the engineer in chief of the Sheffield and Manches
ter line, was the first witness called this morning. The summit of the
Sheffield and Manchester line was 967 feet above the surface of the sea
The gradients were consequently as severe, if not more severe, than
those on the line under consideration. The cost of locomotive power
on the Sheffield and Manchester line was hd. per mile, and for cost of
iintenance of way, locomotives, carriages, &c., 2s. 6d. per mile
more. Mr. Mitchell's estimate for working this line, namely, 3,0001.
a year, was, in his opinion, more than sufficient for the traffic likely
to come upon it.
On cross-examinatien, the witness admitted that he had never
been over the line, and formed his judgment from papers which
had been put into his hands between eleven and twelve o'clock that
morning. Ile assumed that the locomotive power in the case of this
line would be Is. per mile. He estimated the cost of a locomotive line
on his own line at about 1,0001. a year.
This dos. d the engineering evidence.
The room was then cleared, and the Committee, after a short con-
sultation, determined that they would consider the case as between
the Great North of Scotlami and the Perth and Inverness roads in
the first instance upon the engineering merits.

of
importance and so
its wish to recover a territory of such
long united to Mexico. For these reasons the President
refused to receive Mr. SLIDDELL, the American
Minister Extraordinary, sent to complete the settlement of the
Texan question, as well as to enter upon negotiations
respecting California, or some other province that had
attracted the cupidity of these friends of peace,
liberty, .and justice. PAREDES had enough of pub-
lic spirit to reject such a negotiator. SLID-
DELL, of cot Erse, was obliged to return to Wash-
ington without having been allowed even to
open his dispatches or show his credentials,
and this is regarded as a grievous insult to the majesty
of the great republic. The American President must,
as a matter of course, view this contemptuous treatment
of his Ambassador as a serious offence, to be expiated
only by some new concession, some strip of territory
that lies convenient for annexation to Texas, or some
portion. of California, er perhaps the port of Vera Cruz,
as it security that, the Mexicans will know better
for the future how to conduct themselves to-
wards Mr. SLIDDELL or General GREEN, now
plottii ig at Mexico, or any other great General
that , may be appointed as representative of PoLK.
Preparations have evidently been made for some display
of the _kind. The American army sent to protect
Texas ;had been ordered to advance to the Rio del
Norte; the Mexicans were, of course, compelled to take
the sat as course, and the consequence is that these two
hostile forces are arranged against each other on the
opposite banks of the river, and the slightest accident

LETTER FROM DR. LEE TO DR. ROGET.

4, Saville-row, 13th Nov. 1845.
My dear Sir,--You were present, I believe, at the
meeting of the physiological committee, when it was
recommended to award the Royal medal to Mr. Beck.
Did it not occur to you, that it would have been proper
to have compared the dissections of Mr. Beck with those
I had recently made, before coming to a decision, which
will have the e ffect of making it appear that all my
descriptions and delineations of the nerves of the uterus
are incorrect?—l remain, my dear sir, very faithfully
yours, ROBERT LEE.
To Dr. Roget.

GROUP VII.

This Committee re-assembled today at twelve o'clock; present
Mr. Palmer (chairman), and the other Members.
EDINBURGH AND NORTHEAN (STRATH.
ERN DEVIATIOiii BRANCH).
The committee having heard some further evidence, decided tha
the preamble of this Bill was proved.

GROUP VIII

THE Ennanntou, LEITH AND GRANTON

EXTENSION.

The Committee on this group resumed their sittings at twelve
o'clock to-day, in Room 34, Mr. Hawes, chairman.
Mr. Grainger was cross•examined as to the line crossing several
streets at Leith, to the great injury of the public, inasmuch as it
would have the effect of closing those streets aliogether. Thespublic
opposed this interference with the thoroughfare.
The Committee said that they considered it unnecessary to bear
more evidence, and without clearing the room they declared the
preamble not proved.

- Mr. WHAM-LEY was then heard as to the branches. lle opposed
the atmospheric line, on the grounds that the promoters had not got
the sanction of the Admiralty to cross the harbour of Leith.
Mr. Horz would admit that consent had not been obtained, but ha
could inform his Learned Friend that the line could be constructed
without crossing the pier, that part being a very subordinate one of
their scheme.
Mr. WHATELEY resumed. Fe opposed the atmospheric line as un-
called for, because unnecessary to the convenience of the public.

ACRES, WITH A TENANTRY QUITE UNEXCEPTIONABLE.
THIS FINE PROPERTY APPROACHES THE CITY OF
COVENTRY, IS BOUNDED BY TWO RIVERS, AND THE
TURNPIKE ROAD DIVIDES THE PROPERTY. IT IS,
BESIDES, ALL TITHE-FREE, AND EXTRA•PAROCHIAL.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoufed by in-
structions from the proprietor, to announce for public
competion, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the 16th of
June, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AND DEMESNE,
of which It may well be said it has no fear of rivalry throughout this
admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in
such rapid succession upon the mind of the composer of this very
imperfect outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to
begin. However, the effort must be made ; firstly,
IT IS .DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE,
THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE
MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
There can be no scepticism arise out of this assertion. No one can
with justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to
THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH
THE EXTENSIVE MANOR OF WILLENHALL,
which is within two short miles of
THE ANCIENT CITY OF COVENTRY.
There are

FIVE CAPITAL FARMS,
WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS
AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH,
AND ALL WITHIN A RING FENCE,
TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL,

extending to about
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES
OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that
they are paid by a compromise with the
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY,
whose line passes through Willeuhall. The soil is of first-rate quality,
as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every
Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and.the build-
ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact,
everything is inlthe most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye
could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it'

The following correspondence aro:e, as will be seen,
out of the award of the Royal medal in Physiology to
Mr. Beck :

LETTER FROM DR. LEE TO DR. ROGET.
4, Saville-row, 13th Nov. 1845.
My dear Sir,—You were present, I believe, at the
meeting of the physiological committee, when it was
recommended to award the Royal medal to Mr. Beck.
Did it nut occur to you, that it would have been proper
to have compared the dissections of Mr. Beck with those
I had recently mad,., before coming to a decision, which
will have the ffect of making it appear that all my
descriptions and delineations of the nerves of the uterus
are incorrect?—l remain, my dear sir, very faithfully
ROBERT LEE.

RJYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL

GARDENS.

The visitor to this delightful place of summer resort,
which opens for the season this evening, will be sur-
prised and delighted at the various improvements which
the enters rise and taste of Mr. Tyler have etie,ited
during the recess. The casts from the most clas-
sical antique statues now adorn the walks. The gardens
are lighted up by large star-light lamps. sus-
pendsd among the foliage of the trees, and the glass
conservatory is illuminated by festoons of lamps.
The subject of the new spectacle is the Eruption of
Vesuvius and the Destruction of Herculaneum aed
Pompeii. This is not.a mere revival of the " Eruption
of Mount Vesuvius" which was so popular at these
Gardens some seasons since. The present view, which
is twice the size of the former one, embraces the
scenery of not only Vesuvius it,elf, but of the surround-
ing neil4htmurhood, as it appeared in the days of the
Romans. At the foot of the mountain, with the Medi-
terranean washing their walls, appear the towns of Her-
culaneum and Pompeii, and above the towns the
lofty Vesuvius, backed in the distance by
mountain scenery. As a specimen of scenic
effect, this is the most wonderful "set" ever
exhibited. The illusion is perfect ; never have the
bounds of space been more successfully grappled with ;
never has the idea of vastness and distance been reore
completely conveyed to the mind. Aiming the novelties
is a richly ornamented Gothic bridge, which has been
thrown across the arm of the lake at the back of the
orchestra. This bridge is adorned with statues of kings,
knights, priests, crusaders, titc., all in the costume of
the middle ages, and it is surna.iunted by a meg
nificent curla. At eight this bridge will be bril-
liantly illuminated. The pyrotechnic display is.
we understand, to be on a eery grand scale.
Previously, however, to this taking place, a very strik-
ing novelty will be introduced. A Chinese p-zoda, 70
feet in height, has been erected on the borders of the
lake. From this M. Farinelli will make a descent in a
chariot of fire to the lake, where he will enter a car
drawn b.) sea-horses, which emerges from the lake to
receive him. But while the amusements of the visitors
have been thus admirably cared tor, their comforts have
not been n glected, for a great number of seats (capable
of accommodatim.t. some thousands of persons) have been
erected in various parts of the gardens, where, when
tired by promenading, the visitors can rest themselves.
The scientific visitor to the g-rdens, will be pleased with
the plan which has been introduced, of affixing to every
tree and phint its botanical name—a great improvement,
which we believe has been introduced this
,year for the
first time. The menagerie is most ext-wive, and the
animals are ail in high condition. We cannot doubt but
that Air. T.) ler wil have a prosperous season.

average quality. Although the supplies slaughtered in the metro-
polis have been tolerably extensive, the general demand this morn-

100 carcases of foreign Beasts, and 200 foreign Sheep, have been dis-
posed of, at fair quotations.

WOOL.
The past week's imports of foreign and colonial Wools have
amounted to about 1,800 bales. In the private contract market the
demand for all descriptions of Wecl, owing chiefly to the approach-
