Sub-Comitte, No. 3.
This Committee resumed imts sittings at the usual hour this
morning, Mr. Aglionby in the chair.
EDINBUR.4II AND PEEBLES RAILWAY.
This was the petition of an independent Company for
leave to bring it: a Bill to make a railway from a point on
the Dalkeith Branch ot‘ the North British Railway to Pee-
bles. The line, which was laid out by Mr. D. Stephenson,
is proposed to pass through Lasswade, Loanhead, Rollin. and
Greenlaw, by the vale of Eddlestone Water to Peebles. The
estimated cost of the line is 317,0001., which is divided into
10,000 shares, of 251. each.

The engineer of the line, in the course of his evidence ex-
plained that the section of the line exhibited a trifling error,
which was occasioned by a mistake of the engineer, who had
transposed or misplaced a couple of figures, having reference
to a gradient on one portion of the line. No one, however,
could be mislead by this inadvertance, inasmuch as another
measurement on the section, and relating to the same incli-
nation on the line, would supply the exact information re-
quired.

The Committee decided that in this respect the standing
orders had not been complied with, but in all others they had-
The CnAIRIVIAN, in announcing the decision of the Corn•
mittee, remarked that as the error could mislead no one, he
had no doubt the objection would be overcome in the Stand-
ing Orders Committee.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
NORTH WALES RAILWAY COMPANY v. ARCHER.
PORTDYNLLAEN HARBOUR.
This case, which has excited considerable interest, has been decided
in
favourof the defendant, counsel on behalf of the Company having
mentioned
to the Court on Saturday last that they would consent to
allow the injunction to be dissolved. By this move on the part of the
plaintiffs, any expression of opinion by the Court upon the
coaduct of the parties will be avoided. It will be
recollected, that after the defendant's counsel had addressed
the Court in support of the motion to dissolve the injunction, the
matter stood over in consequence of the Vice-Chancellor desiring to
see a case that the plaintiffs thought proper to keep back from him
when they applied for their injunction, and which it appears by the
defendant's answer was laid before Mr. Lloyd, the barrister, on his
behalf, in March last, by Mr. David Williams, the solicitor of
the Company, and in which it was expressly stated that the har-
bour of Pertdynliaeri was purchased by the defendant for himself,
while no mention, or reference of any kind, was made therein to the
North Wales Railway Company, nor was anything stated that could
be strained to justify their recent attempt to claim the benefit of the
purchase, and which it appears, moreover, was made some months
before the Company was thought of or formed.

GOVERNMENT PRECAUTIONS. Active preparations
are in progress for carrying out the precautionary measures noticed
in our last. The Indian corn and corn meal in store at Haulbowline
will be transferred on Monday to the Lee Mills, which will be on
that day delivered up to the authorities. Accommodation has been
provided there for forty soldiers and two officers, who will be per-
manently stationed on the premises ; and It is said that two pieces
of cannon will be planted at the gates.—Cork. Southern Reporter.
EXTENSIVE SLIP OF EARTH-WORK ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.—A large slip of au embankment supporting
the down rail of the Great Western Railway ' occurred on Saturday night
last. The heavy rains which have fallen for some weeks past: have
produced a prejudicial effect upon the earth-works of the line, and has
no doubt rendered them at many points less secure. The slip oc-
curred between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday night, not
very long before the six o'clock up-train from Bristol was due. The
embankment gave way for a considerable distance, and slipped from
under the up-rail, which was left supported only by some of the
wood-work. A slumber of men are engaged In repairing the damage,
and it is expected it will cost the company above 1,0001.
THE LIVERPOOL CORN-LAW PETITION.—Upwards
of 50,000 signatures were attached to the Liverpool petition praying
for a total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws.
