RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY•)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
GROUP No. S.—LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH
COAST (Power to Purchase, &c.)—The clause giving
this company power to purchase and run steam-boats
between Brighton and the coast of France was opposed
by a large number of the railway shareholders, and
the Committee came to a resolution to-day, directing
the steam-boat clause to be struck out of the Bill.
The clauses authorizing improvements in the the
Bill.
station, and the raising additional capital, were passed,
and the Bill as amended was directed to be reported.
LONDON AND SOIITII-WESTERN (Amendment of Acts,
Power to Purchase, and Extensions).—One of the chief
objects, indeed, the chief object, of this Bill, being to en-
able the South-Western Company to adopt the beats and
pay off the capital of the South-Western Steam-packet
Company, Mr. Tite, the architect, was examined to-day,
after the case had been opened by Mr. Talbot, to prove
that the Packet Company was a losing concern, and unless
the provisions of this Bill were agreed to the boats
would have to cease running. At present the boats ran
from Southampton to Havre, and from Poole to the
Channel Islands, affording the public every accommoda-
tion that superior management and expense could re-
ceive, but it was absolutely necessary, it this accommo-
dation were to be continued, that the:steam-boat company
should be incorporated with the railway company. It was
not so much the pecuniary gain the amalgamation would
secure to the railway c,,mpany as the convenience it would
enable them to continue to the public that induced the
South-Western directors to promote it, for the return
upon the capital would be trifling compared with the
great amount of accommodation that would be conferred
upon the public. If the present Bill were passed with-
out alteration a passenger might be booked and carried
from Lnndon to Paris, or the Channel Islands, at re-
duced fares, and under one continuous management.
The Committee adjourned without deciding upon the
merits of the Bill.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending July 12,
1848. is 255. 7d. per cwt.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(THIS
.DAY.)
Ditil IN:
The scrutiny into the 'validity 'of' Mr. Reynolds ma-
jority was realm:led. The Committee having decided
that they would allow secondary evidence to be put in
to prove the validity of the grand jury,Cess, the entire
day was taken up with the testimony of various wit-
nesses to show that the cess was legal, and the Commit-
tee again adjourned without giving..any decision upon
the point.
At the rising of the Committee to-day, Mr. MURPHY,
Q.C., said he wished to detain the Committee for a few
minutes while he said a few words relating personally to
himself: It would be remembered that when the vali-
dity of the paving-rate was under discussion the Hon.
Member for Manchester, in reply to an 'observation he
had made, remarked that the Irish Attorney-General
sometimes committed blunders in his official capacity upon
which he (Mr. Murphy) replied that few men committed
less errors in his official capacity than the Lord Chan-
cellor of Ireland. The Irish papers had represented
him to have said that " few men committed more errors
than the Lord Chancellor of Ireland."
The Noble CHAIRMAN, amidst some laughter, re-
marked that it must evidently be an error of the printer,
and the matter dropped.

MAItLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY).
Jeremiah Sullivan, a sturdy Irish beggar, was placed
before Mr. Bingham, charged with begging in Regent-
street, and resisting the constables in the execution of
their duty.
Luke Reany, a mendicity constable, said that last
evening about six o'clock, he saw the prisoner go up to
several gentlemen in Regent-street, and in an importu•
nate manner demanded alms. Witness went up
to him and told him if he persisted in begging,
he should take him into custody. The prisoner
questioned witness's authority to interfere with
him and said he should go on begging and defied
witness to take him in charge. A crowd of
people had by this time assembled and witness
proceeded to take the prisoner away. He resisted him,
and tried to throw him down. his conduct at length
became so violent that witness was obliged to procure
additional assistance to take the prisoner to the station.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed
to the House of Correction for one month, with hard
labour.
William Briant, another Irish vagrant, was then
charged with attempting to rescue the last-named pri-
soner, and assaulting the constable.
Luke Reany said, as he was taking the prisoner Sul-
livan to the station Brian came up, and, laying hold of
his (Sullivan's) collar, told him not to go with a " couple
of b— Red Lioners." Witness cautioned the prisoner,
and desired him to go away. Brian refused, and putting
his foot between witness's legs, threw him on the ground.
He then pulled out a knife, and, with a dreadful oath,
swore he would rip witness's g—s up. Several of the
bystanders came to his aid, and, after a sharp struggle,
succeeded in taking the knife from him, ar.d lodged him
in the station.
Mr. BINGHAM committed him for two months, with
hard labour.
