LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1846.

Sir C. NAPIER Yesterday, in moving the second
reading of the Navy Civil Departments Bill, made
some very important observations on the state of the
administration of the Navy. In a country like our
own, whose unexampled prosperity hitherto has been
owing, in a great degree, to her naval power and
superiority—whose proudest boast has ever been that
she needs no other bulwark or protection than
that afforded by her wooden walls, and who
has never for a single moment had occasion
to regret the unbounded confidence she
has reposed in her gallant defenders, who have ever
fikithfully and honestly discharged the duty they
,„vsy_k4tioa`to their country, anything relating to that
• ter and more efficient management

AYRSHIRE AND GLASGOW.

Mr. BOYLE said, as, according to the Committee in deciding on this
Bill, it appeared the Committee thought the case for this Bill had to
some extent bean made out, seeihg that they had laid it down that
the Glasgow and Belfast Union would give every facility to entering
on their line at Ayr, providing the Legislature should consent to the
Ayrshire and Galloway Bill passing the next year, be now prayed
that the decision might be recohsidered, so that the preamble of the
portion of the scheme from Ayr to Dalmellington, which scarcely any
objection had been taken to, might be granted.
The CHAIRMAN said he was nut prepared to state all the reasons
that had led the Committee to the decision ; still the Learned Gen-
tleman was correct in saying that the main objection to the line w as
to the portion south of Dalinellington. They did not, however, feel
disposed to re•,onsider their decision, but they would do this—they
would take care that a clause should be inserted in the Glasgow and
Belfast Union Bill providing that every facility should be given to
the. Ayrshire and Galloway Ilne at any future time entering.Ayr by
the former line.

IBRAHIM PACHA.

BIRMINGFIAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The Pacha, after
his manufacturing visits last night, remained at his hotel,
and did not. as on the previous evening, visit, with his suite,
the street attractions of the borough.
_ _ _

This morning he proceeded to the School of King Edward
VI., in New-street, where he was received with due honour
by Mr. Tindal (one of the governors, and a brother of the
Chief Justice) and the Rev. .1. P. Lee, the head master. The
visit was otie of considerable interest. His inquiries evinced
his usual acuteness. Being accompanied through every
apartment, his Highness inquired as to the age at which
punils were admitted, the system of education adopted, and
whether or not, according to the provisions of the charter,
foreigners could be admitted for tuition into the establish-
ment. The reply of the Principal was to the effect, that
foreign pupils (boys residing within the confines defined by
the Act of Parliament passed in confirmation of King Ed
ward's charter, not applying for vacancies) could, upon the
payment of 201., be admitted. The Pacha appeared to be
highly delighted with the school, and the pupils, between
400 and 500 of them, reciprocated the feeling.
After leaving King Edward's Free Grammar School, the
party proceeded to the Soho Works, the famed establish-
ment of Messrs. Bolton and Watt, at Handsworth. From
the Soho Works the party proceeded to the establishment of
the Messrs. Hunt. at the Braides, near Olburz, thence to the
glass manufactory of the Messrs. Chance, at pon-lane. This
most splendid and extensive concern appeared to attract the
articular attention of the Pacha. The party returned to
Dee's Royal Hotel, Birmingham.
The Prince left this town to-night by the ordinary express
train for Manchester. The inhabitants of that town appear
disposed to provide his Highness, at least, with amusements,
for Mr. Sloane, the manager of the Manchester Theatre, was
iii Birmingham this afternoon, with a view t) make arrange-
ments for th... Pacha's gratification on his arrival in the ma-
nufacturing metropolis. _ _

It may be mentioned that, during his Highness's visit to
Birmingham, he has shown the greatest liberality to all per.
ions with whom he has come in contact. His purchases of
manufactures have been to a great amount, and his pecu-
niary acknowledgments to attendants far exceed those of any
previous royal visitor.

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION.

Counsel for this line said the promoters had an intention of restrict-
ing their project to the portion cast of Muirkirk, thereby giving up
that front rto Muirkirk, under the impression that in so doing the
petitioners against the line, who were landowners on the portion pro-
posed to be given up, could then have no locus standi against the
remainder or the scheme.

A long argument ensued pro and con., the petitioners' Counsel con-
tending that the petitions were against the whole scheme as uncalled-
for, and, therefore, against any portion that might be retained, while
the other side maintained that the petitioners could onl;,' direct their
opposition to the portion that had relation to their respective pro-
pertics and interests, which was that between Ayr and Muirtirk,
which the promoters with a proper understanding were disposed to
abandon.

Precedents of Committee proceedings have been given by counsel
on both sides, the room was cleared. On our re-admission,
TheAMMAN said that the Committee were of opinion, as this was
an integral scheme throughout, that though a por ion of it might be
abandoned, still the petitioners had a locus standi, and might be
al:owed to proceed against that part of the scheme which remained.
To put an end, however, to any doubt, he was willing to consult the
Speaker on the point.

Mr. Coclusuits hoped the Chairman would consult the Speaker,
and adjourn till to-morrow, when the promoters would ho prepared
to state the ourse they intended to take.

The Commit tee consented, and accordingly adjourned till to-morrow
at twelve o'clock.

animals; still it is perfectly astonishing to notice, despite'
these attacks, the healthy tune the bine maintains. Upon the

that we cannot account for the continuance of these "griev-
ances." Despite our augury last week, and the
very
sunshiny days we have had, we now think nothing * hot,
but a•
thunder storm can do good. Will any of your talented con"
respondents tell the people the why it does do good?

that the fly and lice have increased. -Some grounds have
much honey dew, and appear to be going off with a blight
all of which lead some glowers to deepeir altogether or
realising a crop. The bine is still growing fast.

Another majority of thirty-three, by which Lord
WicK Low's amendment of a fixed duty of five
shillings in lieu of the proposed sliding-scale was
quashed, gives an additional assurance to the country
that our congratulations as to the final settlement of
these measures are neither injudicious or precipitate.
Slowly, it is true, but steadily, the principles of free
trade are winning their way to the statute-book. A
pure metal has been cast into the machinery of Par-
liament, and despite the casual disarrangement of that
machinery and its occasional clashing and entangle-
ment, the golden metal will ultimately come forth
stamped with the signet of legislative accordance.
As we have repeatedly taken opportunities to remark,
the discussion upon these extraordinary innovations
upon our commercial policy, though em-
bellished with the tropes of rhetoric and
enforced by the inferences deducible from
statistics, have nevertheless displayed a more remark-
able discursiveness than possibly any previous debate

FALMOUTH, JUNE 17.—The Swift packet, Lieutenant
Douglas, commander, arrived this morning with the Brazil
.nails, having sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 25th of April;
Bahia, on the sth ; and Pernambuco on the 12th of May. She
firings on freight about 8,0001. in gold and diamonds, and the
ollowing passengers, viz.: Messrs. Archibald, Prince,
Branscombe, Wilson, Melly, Cox, Hogg, and family, Felippa,
tnd servant, Yeyler, Brachado, and Mrs. Brady. This
packet brings no news of any importance from Rio, ten days
!laving only elapsed between her sailing and that of the
Penguin. The accounts from the River Plate are not so re •
cent as those brought by the Philomel, which arrived here
on the 7th inst., direct from that quarter. Prior to the
*Swift's departure from Pernambuco, information had reached
that pace, by the steamer, of the Emperor's arrival at Rio
'nom Santos, on the 26th of April, the day after the sailing
,f the packet. Exchange at Rio was 2614 to 26%; and
Stock, 764 to 76% • Provincial ditto, 73. The Swift left
at Rio thy. Crescent arid Crane packets.
The American frigate Columbus arrived on the 21st of
April from the River Plate, with dispatches for the British
Alinister.

MANCHESTER, BOLTON, AND BURT CA•

NAL AND RAILWAY.

The case for the opponents of this lAill was entered Into.
Mr. HOPE (on the part of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway
Company) said he trusted that the Committee would not sanction
such a Bill as that before them—a Bill which interfered most mate-
rially with the rights of another company without affording any ade-
quate advantage to the public. The company be represented had hot
only expended a large sum in the construction of their works, but
also had paid 41,0001. for a free way, and it was now sought by the
promoters of the p: esent Bill to cross their line and divert their
traffic, and by, the establishment of a station at Manchester to reap
the advantages of his clients' toil and money. So case ever came
before Parliament involving such an interference with the rights of a
public Company. Level crossings had been sanctioned in other
parts of the country, but never without a necessity far greater than
could be shown in the present case to exist, and never on a line
crow;ted with traffic, like the Liverpool and Manchester. On Coat
line there were uo less than ninety trains passing daily ; in addition
to which, the prices of conveyance were the lowest that had ever
been charged. In support of what he had advanced as to
the amount of traffic, he would just advert to one item,
namely, the pleasure traffic. •this was already very consider-
, able, and was daily Increasing in the ratio of the population,
as would be shown by the evidence. Such was the traffic of
his clients' line. What was the case with their opponents'. Why,
they had only thirty trains. Was it, then, not preposterous
that they should seek to pass through the very centre of
the most thriving district in the country, when railway traffic was
daily developing itself, and that at the disadvantage of delay, if not
of danger? for there were instances where disasters had re•
suited from these very level crossings. From these considerations,
he trusted that the Committee would not sanction the present Bill on
these grounds : first, that his clients had afforded the public great
convenience, and in the next place that the line proposed was not
only not required, but that it was not even a proper line.
After hearing some evidence in support of the petitioners against
the Bill the Committee adjourned.
London, England, 1846-06-18

AYRSHIXLE AND GLASGOW.

Mr. BorLE said, as, according to the Committee in deciding on this
Bill, it appeared the Committee thoi4ht the case for this 13111 had to
some extent been made out, seeing that they had laid it down that
the Glasgow/and Belfast Union would give every facility to entering
on their line at Ayr, providing the Legislature should consent to the
Ayrshire and Galloway Bill passing the next year, ho now prayed
that the decisiOn might be reconsidered, so that the preamble of the
portion of the scheme from Ayr to Dalmellington, which scarcely any
objection had been taken to, might be granted.
The CHAIRMAN said he was not prepared to state all the reasons
that had led the Committee to the decision ; still the Learned Gen-
tleman was correct in saying that the main objection to the line u as
to the portion south of Dahnellingten. Thay did not, however, feel
disposed to reconsider their decision, but they would do this—they
would take care that a clause should be inserted in the Glasgow and
Belfast Union Bill providing that every facility should be given to
the Ayrshire and Galloway line at ally future time entering Ayr by
the former line.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH.

AND PAREII.A.IVI.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Cockburn's address, which occupied the Committee for more
than an hour and a half, being concluded,
Mr. Lusor addressed the Committee for the promoters of the Di;
riot London and Portsmouth, at the conclusion of whose speech,
The Committee ordered the room to be cleared, and after a consul-
tation, which lasted for about half an hour,
The parties were re-admitted, and
The Chairman announced the decision of the Committee in these
words:—The Committee have decided by a majority that the pre-
amble of the Direct London and Portsmouth Railway Bill Is proved,
and that the preamble of the Guildford, Chichester, Portsmouth, and
i'arehani is not proved.
An application was made for the Committee to pass the part of the
61111.110 rd and Chichester Bill, which had reference to the dock-yard
branch, which branch was before the House in another Bill, which
was unopposed, but which would be materially improved by the
passing of this Bill ; but
The Cttatamaa said that the Committee could not assent to this
proposition. The Bill must be entirely thrown out, and the parties
could, if necessary, bring forward a Bill for a deviation of the dock-
. yara branch next session.

The printed clauses were then gone thronh, and other dances
relatiw to the property of Mr. Dixon, one to bind the railway coin.
pally to adopt the deviation proposed yesterday, the other to cimpel
them to pais through hts property on a viaduct. After some discus--
Aon they were both rejected, as the Committee were of opinion that
the provisions of the "Lands Clauses Consolidation" Act, were stall-
dent to meet the case.

Mr. Cole's opposition was disposed of by the introduction of a
lance propoe4l by his counsel.
