The CHAIRMAN, at this stage bf the proceeding, intimated that the
Committee had made up their minds that a direct line from Johnstone
to Port Glasgow was required, and as this was the only one before
them, they were prepared to pass it,:if the engineering evidence were
satisfactory.
The Committee, after some discussion amongst themselves, de-
clared that it was their opinion that a direct line should be
made between these points and the counsel for the
opposition might, if they considered it right so to do, bring forward
evidence as to the expenses and estimates, and other engineering
difficulties, as affected that portion of the line. It was at last, how-
ever, agreed upon by the Committee to hear the counsel and evidence
in favour of the competing line before they decided upon the pre-
amble of the Bill.
Mr. Miller, engineer, examined—The total length of the line is
fifteen miles, two furlongs, and some chains. The distance to fort
Glasgow from Ayrshire, as compared with the Glasgow and
Greenock, would be shortened by four miles and three-
quarters. The line would afford a good communication between
the bridge of Weir, on the one hand, and Glasgow and
Port. Glasgow on the other, there would be a saving of some distance
from this port also. On the Port Glasgow branch there is a gradient
of lin 36, which would be worked by horse power. There would
be no engineering difficulties on the main line, the steepest gra-
dient being 1 in 75, and the sharpest curve three quarters of a
mile. T gadient of lin 36 would extend above a mile.
Mr. Millerhe thenrwent into evidence of a merely formal nature, re-
specting the length of branches, the crossing of parish roads, g: c., on a
level. The estimaed cost was 300,0001., and the working expenses were
estimated at 30 per cent.
Mr. Iliturean cross-examined Mr. Miller, without eliciting any
discrepancies with the examination in chief.
Mr. Miller then gave in a list of the assents, dissents, and neuters.
Mr. Turner, solicitor to the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Com-
pany, stated that in their Act of 1840 a clause was inserted, making
it compulsory upon the Company to construct branch railways to the
harbours of Greenock and Port Glasgow ; these had not yet been
constructed, and their powers had now expited. A branch railway
Was, however, made to Greenock harbour at the expense of the
Harbour trustees.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

IPSWICH AND BURY ST. EDMUNDS (ELY EXTENSION).
The parties to this Bill not being prepared with their witnesses
when called on, the ease was postponed till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock.
THE NORTH AND SOUTH CONNECTING LINE.
This Bill was also postponed for the same reason, as were some
other Bills.
LONDON AND BITiMniGHAM (ST. ALBANS' AND LUTON
BRANCH).
This was a MP, upon petition for additional provisions.
The Committee, having been informed by their clerk that, after
diligent search, the petition could not be found in the office of the
Clerk of the House, and that, therefore, it would bo necessary for the
Chairman to apply to the House upon the subject, the case was
adjourned to give Sir J. T. Buller the opportunity of doing so.

Sub-Committee, No, 3,
WEST CORNWALL.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

The Committee were occupied the greater part of the day in the
eonsideration of two allegations which were not sustained ; after
which, in consequence of the absence of witnesses, the case was
postponed.
NORFOLK RAILWAY EXTENSIONS (YARMOUTH
EXTENSION.)
The object of this Bill is to extend the existing line to the (*oat.
The length of the line is 7% furlongs. The estimated cost 40,0001,
The formal evidence haying been given, and a petition presented
against the Bill, the Committee adjourned.
The object of the line is to connect Penzance, Truro, and Fal-
mouth. The length of the line is 45 mi'es, including the branches—
the estimated cost 500,0001. The engineer, Mr. I. K. Brunel; so-
licitors, Messrs. Edwards and Mason, London, and Gryils and Hill,
of Helstone ; the Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Burke and Co.
Petitions against the Bill were presented, complaining -chiefly of
defective notice. But several allegations to this effect were declared
sustained.

Sub-Committee, No. 4.
FURNESS RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition .f yeeterday.)
One of the allegations against this Bill was, that the height and
span of the arches over the rivers Claim and Sevin, were not marked
on the sections.
It appeared that the line was represented on the sections to be an
embankment at the points where it crossed the rivers in question.
On the part of the promoters of the Bill, it was represented that it
was not intended to cross these rivers by means of arches, as the line
would cross on a solid embankment, as represented in the sections,
an' it was contended that this was not a navigable river in the meaning
of the standing order, being, in fact, only an estuary, and only navi-
gable at high water. Considerable amusement was created by the
agent for the line asserting that it was intended to cross these rivers
on a solid embankment ; and that if the Committee on the merits of
the Bill (by whom he said this point could only be considered) should
be of opinion that some provision should be made to prevent the
country from being flooded by the stopping of the water, they could
introduce such a clause as they might think necessary.
The Cumamen said that the standing order required that the
height and span should be marked at every crossing over a river, and
it was no answer to the objection that they were not marked to say
that there was no arch proposed. If it could be shown that this was
a navigable river, then the allegation would be proved.
Evidence was then given on the part of the petitioners to show that
these were both navigable rivers ; and on the other side to show that
they were mere estuaries, navigable only at high water.
Mr. PRITT, on the part of the petitioners, said that he was aware
of no reason why the standing order should be limited to those rivers
which were navigable at low as well as at high water.
The Committee cleared the room to consult, and on our re-admis-

GROUP XIV.
SOUTH-EASTERN.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Coexist:rim who appeared in support of the proposed line, pro-
ceeded to examine the Reverend S. Barker, the rector of the
parish of Wouldhane, which is three miles from Rochester. The
North Kent line, as proposed, would interfere with his house and
with the churchyard. The western side of the river would be better
for a railway, as it is more populous. The feeling of the farmers and
landowners in his parish is almost universally against the North
Kent line.
By Sir W. RIDDLE—Is positive that the North Kent line would
interfere with his house and the churchyard.
Some discussion here ensued as to whether it was competent to
a private individual whose property was affected to enter an objection
to any part of the line he might think proper.
The CHAIRMAN at length decided that private individuals could not
be heard against those portions of the line which did not affect their
own interests. The demerits of the whole of the South-Eastern line
would be entered into by the competing line, and of course that
would answer all the wishes of private persons who wished the
whole line to be opposed.
By Mr. MERREWETIIER—Has not examined the plait deposited in
the parish.
Mr. H. Simmonds, examined by Mr. MERREWETHER —ls a wharf-
Inger and collier, at Maidstone. Has turned his attention to the way
in which the North Kent and South-Eastern lines approach Maid-
stone. The North Kent goes along the east side of the river. The
western side, along which the South Eastern goes, is more populous
than the eastern side, and possessed more places of note. Believes
that the South-Eastern line will afford more accommodation to Maid-
stone.
By Sir W. RIDDEL —ls aware that the North Kent is only eight
miles in length between Rochester and Maidstone, and the South-
Eastern is eleven miles.
The Right Hon. Mr. Lushington, examined by Sir. 11:MR-
-12e:ides at Norton Court, which is between Sittingbourne and Faver-
sham. His attention has been from time to time directed to the rail-
ways proposed to be formed in Kent. Knows the project of the
south-Eastern Company, and also of the North Kent Company. His
opinion is that the South-Eastern scheme is the one most calculated
to benefit the country,
Sir W. RIDDEL objected to this course of evidemee as the Com-
mittee had a few days since declared that the opinions of private
individuals with regard to the merits of the line were not admissible.
The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that such evidence were admissible
to a certain extent. It was unnecessary to draw the line with too
great severity.
Examination continued—Has, until lately, been rather in favour of
the North Kent scheme, as it was generally believed that the Seuth-
Eastern Company were not sincere in their profession of coming
down near the course of the proposed North Kent line. Has found,
on reference to the report of the Board of Trade, that they approve
of the South-Eastern line, and it is bound, by a clause in its Act, not
to pay any dividend until the line and branches, as spec.fled in the
Act, are formed.
By Mr. TatatoT—Was in favour of the proposed atmospheric line.
Was not aware of the accommodation given to the quays at Fever-
sham by the South-Eastern.
Mr. Norton Knatchbull gave it as his opinion that the South-
Eastern scheme was in every respect superior to the North Kent.
Mr. Edward J. Hilton—ls a banker at Faversham, and also a
navigation commissioner. • The accommodation given to the quays
by the South-Eastern Company was in every way satisfactory.
Examined by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—The Mayor of Faversham
presided at a metting of the inhabitants last year. He is the agent
of the South-Eastern Company. The meeting agreed to a petition

slot),
The Cluntstiat stated that the Committee had not come to any
decision, and as it was now four o'clock they must adjourn. The
decision must stand over.
The Committee then rose, and adjourned till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock.

Sub-Committee No. 5.
The Committee met at two o'clock. Present, Mr. Home Drum-
mond (chairman), Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, and Mr. T. Egerton.
BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM (BRANCII TO BATH.)
The Committee proceeded to consider the objections on petition
in opposition to the line. It was alleged that plans had not been
deposited with the parish clerk of Swainswick as required by the
standing orders.
The agents for the company stated that they had abandoned that
part of the line.
The Committee held that they nevertheless took powers in their
Bill t) censtruct, and they must report a non-compliance in this
case with the standing orders.
BIRMINGHAM AND BRISTOL (ASHCHITRCH, TEWKESBURY,

AND MALVERN BRANCH).
Agents, Messrs. Ellicombe ; engineer, Mr. Stephenson. Estimated
expense, 180,0001., the contract deed being executed for 135,0001.
(three-fourths of the cost), and the deposit made 13,5001.
The formal proofs in compliance with the standing orders were

put in.
Mr. Gain took an objection that a small plot of land on the
bank of the railway, in the county of Gloucester, was not laid down
on the large scale in the county plan.
Another field in the parish of Hanley Castle, in the same county,
was not numbered in the book of reference.

....
Both objections were sustained by the Committee.
The case was adjourned till twelve o'clock tomorrow,

Sub-Committee No. 6.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY EXTENSION.
'Centinued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Mr. LOCK appeared as agent for Mr. Alexander, a petitioner
against the Bill, whose petition contained the allegation, amongst
others, that the plans described two distinct lines of railway, while
the Bill took powers to make one only, and did not state which of
the two. Mr. Lock stated that two sets of plans, for two distinct
lines of railway, had been deposited at the Private Bill-office under
the same title ; and called Mr. Alexander to prove that he lead been
served with two notices.
Mr. GRAIIAM admitted that two sets of plans had been depesited,
but said that one was for the main line and the ether for a branch,
which latter had been abandoned.
The Committee disallowed the allegation, and declared the stand-
ing orders complied with in respect of this point.
A number of allegations were withdrawn by Mr. Lock and several
fell to the ground.
After hearing evidence for and against all the allegations in this
petition, and also in another (that of several owners and occupiers
of land, &c.), the Committee decided that in respect of two roads,
the inclination of which was not correctly marked, the standing
I orders were not complied with. In other respects they were com-
plied- with.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY (GLASGOW, GARNKIRK, AND
COATB RIDGE BRANC II).
The object of this Bill is to construct two branches from the Glas-
gow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Railway to the town of Airdrie, and
the Caledonian Railway. The length of each branch is about tWo
miles, and the cost is estimated at 110,0001. Engineers, Messrs.
Locke and Errington ; Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Graham
and Co.
There was but one petition against this Bill, and that was said to
contain but one allegation, but as the Speaker was announced at
prayers, immediately after the formal proofs had been completed,
the case for the petitioner could not be heard to-day.
At four o'clock the Committee adjourned till to-morrow, at twelve
o'clock, when the petition against this Bill will be taken.

in f tvour of the North Kent Line.
Mr. Henry Cooper, an alderman of Canterbury, stated that the
South-Eastern would afford very great accommodation to that city
and to the fisheries of Ramsgate and Margate. It would incon-
venience the city to make a new station.
By Mr. Sergeant Wassoaam—There has been a public dinner at
Canterbury, and 290 persons present at it. Witness has not paid the
bill for that dinner. If nobody else pays it witness must. Believes
that the South-Eastern Company will pay it. Is of opinion that
dinners change people's opinions, for some of the supporters of the
North Kent Company who were present drank " Prosperity to the
South-Eastern Company."
Mr. Gibbs, of Howley, also gave evidence in support of the South-
Eastern line.
Mr. Miller, an engineer, was then called in support of the South.
Eastern line. He stated that he had surveyed North Kent. with a
view to the formation of a railway in 1825, and also in lan. The
gradients of the South-Eastern, between Greenwich and Woolwich,
are more favourable than those on the North Kent in the same places.
The two tunnels on the North Kent between London and Woolwich
are very objectionable. The accommodation it would afford to the
dock and arsenal is superior to the South-Eastern Rail: ay.

The Committee then adjourned at half-past three o'elea.

GROUP XX,

This Committee re-assembled this morning. Present, Mr. Sotheron,
Mr. Ross, I.ord H. Bentinek, and Sir R. Pigot.
LONDON AND IIItIOHTON (IVANDSIIITORTIE

BRANCH.)
Mr. WELLER opened the case for the promoters.
The Committee were occupied hearing evidence in favour of the
line, which is between seven and eight miles long, and will com-
mence at Croydo.‘, and terminate in junction with the South-Western
Railway at Wandsworth. A West-end terminus will then be given
to the Loudon and Brighton Railway.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

THE SUN,' LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL 1, 1846.

to get the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to move
without an address to the Crown. In the last session of
Parliament the Commissioners refused to take any step
upon a report of that House upon the subject, and the
reason they expressed for such refusal was, that no
address has been made to the Crown. This, therefore,
was a good reason for the adoption of the address which
the Noble Marquis had proposed. He thought it would
be best to leave it to the discretion of the Woods and
Forests, without recommending them the adoption of any
particular course.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the pro-
gress, or rather the absence of progress, in building the
Houses was perfectly notorious. He should submit that
the consideration of the question had better be ad-
journed till the report of the Committee was printed.
He considered that it was necessary that their Lord-
ships should have the House ready for their reception,
and that they should not be subject to delay occasioned
by the disputes of parties who might attempt utopian
systems of ventilation. There was but one other de-
partment which could take cognisance of this subject, and
that was the Treasury ; but that department was
already so overloaded with business that he knew of
no other department that ought to have it in charge
than the Beard of Woods and Forests ; and, therefore,
he trusted the Howe would not take it off their hands.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said there could be no
doubt that the recommendation of the Noble Marquis
who had just sat down ought to be adopted, namely,
that the question should be adjourned for the present,
in order to ascertain what proceeding hail been taken by
the other House of Parliament. The Government were
responsible in some measure for this delay, but they
were not wholly responsible, inasmuch as that respon-
sibility had been to some degree limited ; but if the
Board of Woods and Forests were to undertake the su-
perintendence of those who were employed to complete
this building, it would be better to leave it in their
hands. Government was most anxious to carry out the
intention of the House, and also to carry out such de-
tails as might seem consistent with the wishes of both.
Houses of Parliament. He was in favour of the motion
of the Noble Marquis, but he wished it to be adjourned.
Lord CAMPBELL thought there was no reason to
say that the motion of the. Noble Marquis interfered
with the other House of Parliament. At the time the
plans of the Houses of Parliament were accepted, it was
said that their Lordships would be able to take their
seats in four years, and it was not till long after that
period that Parliament interfered. It had been said
that the other House bad shown no intention of co
operating with theii Lordships. They had gol a cham-
ber which, for hearing, temperature, and ventilation,
was perfect, and they might think themselves fortunate
if they should be as well off in any exchange they might
make. The chamber their Lordships occupied was in
every respect inconvenient, and especially so in the
morning, and Lord Brougham had, in consequence of
the temperature, frequently been obliged to leave whilst
bearing an important cau,e. He thought that if a loyal
and dutiful address wore presented to her Majesty, it
would have the effect of calling the attention of the
Government to the subject.
After a few words from Viscount CANNING and Lord
REDESDALE,
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE consented to the
curse recommended by the Noble Duke, and moved
that the debate be adjourned till a future period. He
did not expect that it would be resumed till after the
evidence was printed, and he dd not think that would
be till after the holidays. The subject might be
dropped altogether if the Government would interfere
and settle the differences referred to themselves.
The motion for adjournment was then agreed to.

- . MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(Fro:n the London New Price arrrent of March 31.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was less firmness in the home
consumption Sugar market. In West India purchases to a
fair cN.tent were made, but merchants were compelled to
t :ke rather lower rates, the supply at market being large
and the assortment better. The private sales amounted to
450 !Ards and trcs.
ItmFiNt:l3.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade-63s to 63s 6d were the irate 3
taken for brown lumps according to quality, and 64s to
G4s 6d for standard lumps. Bonded crushed Sugar is dull of
sale at 34s 6d to 35s for first quality.. • .
MAnnrrrus.—This afternoon there were three public sales
of Mauritius, comprising 8,499 bags, but the trade evinced
less desire to operate, and prices declined is per cwt; nearly
the wholeirciwever sold. There was no low brown in the sales.
FOIiEIGN.—To-day 4,202 bags of Pernatribuco Sugar were
offered at public sale, and all taken in above the value, that
is to say, middling dry yellow at 23s to 245, low ditto 21s to
225, fine brown 20s, middling 19s, low damp ditto 17s, mid-
dling 18s, fine 193 6d,10w yellow 205 to 21s, and middling at
21s 6d to 22 per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with less
attention, and 1,735 bags 58 chests at public sale were sold at
barely former rates.
CoFFEE.—This afternoon there was little inclination shown
to purchase Native Ceylon, and 815 bags at public sale were
only in part sold upon rather lower terms. In Mocha little
business was transacted privately. The market for all kinds

of Foreign has a dull aspect.
TEA.—Although there are sellers of Congou rather under
former rates, still the trade have purchased with caution.
For Pouchong prices kept pretty steady, but there hasy been
little business done. ll
yson has been sparingly dealt in. In
T wan kay severod put chases have been made, and at rates di ffer-
ng; little froth those of last Tuesday. In Young flyson
sales to a fair extent have been made at 10d to Is 6cl for
Canton, and at is 8d to 2s 10d for low to fine Hyson
kind. Although Gunpowder can be procured at Is Sd to
2s 5d for Canton, 2s 6d to 4s for good to fine Hy-son kind,
still little has been doing.

SPICES.—To-day of Nu. megs 31 cases 9 casks 3 bags, at
auction, were all sold, in consequence of merchants sub-
mitting to a reduction on former rates of Id per lb; of Mace
5 casks sold at very full rates Pimento is in request, and
99 bags at auction fetched 3%d to 33Ad for middling
rather mixed and stalky, being the full worth.
SPIRITS.—There has been little desire evinced to purchase
Jamaica Rum, but the stock not being large, holders are re-
luctant to further reduce their prices. For Demerara rather
lower rates were taken, still the quantity sold has been
only 200 puns. Leeward Island is not offered upon
lower terms ; but little business done. For Calcutta previous
rates are required, but there hasbeen little passing. Holders
of Brandy are unwilling to take lower rates, but there has
been little desire evinced to operate. For fine Geneva for
home consumption the demand has been brisk, but common
has been sparingly dealt in. British Corn Spirits are selling
at 108 6d per gallon nett cash, Gin 22 per cent. underproof at
8s 10d, and 17 underproof 9s 4d per gallon.
RloE.—ro-day at public sale 1,500 bags of Madras Rice
were taken in at the moderate rates c.f. 12s to 12s 6d per cwt
for low pinkey white rather dusty and broken, mixed with a
few red grains.
CociinsaaL—Prices are not lower, but there has been
little business transacted privately in black or silver, and at
public sale 70 bags of Mexican were only in part sold.
TALLOW.—In the value of Russian on the spot little varia-
tion has taken place since last Tuesday, but the purchases
made have been limited. For delivery in the last three
months of the year there are sellers of Petersburg yellow
Candle of first quality in bond at 41s 6d to 42s per cwt, but
there has been but little passing. •
OlLS.—Thera has been a good business transacted in Olive
Oil, and holders display firmness. For Rape Seed Oil re-
duced rates are taken. Palm has been purchased with cau-
tion privately, and a decline in value has ensued. Cocoa
Nut has been in good request privately, but prices do not
improve, although the supply is small. There was little de-
sire shown to purchase Linseed Oil, and a decline in the value
took place. Sperm has met with attention, and previous
improved rates are fully maintained.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM SPRING RACES.
Hitherto the inferest of the Spring Races at Epsom has
been confined to the Trial Plate, for three-year-olds, given
by Sir Gilbert Heathcote, and a stake or two in heats for the
especial amusement of those to whom quantity is everything.
Matters, however, are no longer to proceed at the old "jog-
trot" pace. The grand stand, and with it the active arrange-
ment of the races, has passed into the hands of Mr. Henry
Dorling, and under the immediate patronage of the Stewards
of the Jockey Club, (now associated in the Stewardship
with Sir Gilbert Heathcote), and, with the best wishes of
every man who would maintain the turf on a sound and
respecable footing, he has in the short time that has elapsed
since he "signed, sealed, and delivered," accomplished suf-
ficient in the shape of improvement to convince the world
that Epsom is no longer to be dependent solely on its Derby
and Oaks. All the modern improvements have been already
or will be adopted, and, malgre the selfish opposition of a dis-
appointed clique, will henceforth rank with the best in the
country. The first meeting under the new regime will take
place on Friday next, and in a few words we will endeavour
to show that the anticipations we have occasionally indulged
of its success are not likely to be disappointed.
The course has been thoroughly dressed and levelled, and
we hear that more money and labour have been expended
on it during the last winter than in twenty years previously.
% great number of posts and chains have been set up towards
Tattenham Corner, where the pressure from the crowd is
usually greatest ; and it is with much pleasure we notice that
the officials have reserved a space for the people who may not
be rich enough to obtain admission to the stands.
The judge's chair has been removed to the upper or north
side of the course, an alteration we have often suggested, and
entirely approve of.
A new telegraph has been completed, showing the names
of the jockies as they weigh, a decided improvement to
any that we have yet seen in this quarter. But the im-
provements in and about the grand stand throw all others,
excellent as they are, into the shade. We were surprised
to see the vast quantity of earth that had been removed
since last year, and the solidity and excellence of the new
works. The lawn, or enclosure in front, is now carried
up in a rather sharp slope from the edge of the course to
a level with the principal floor of the building, and will furnish
accommodation for many thousands of spectators, and
afford them an uninterrupted view of the races. The hall
opens immediately upon the lawn, and will be a convenient
refuge for the " ring," in wet or cold weather. The enclosure
is extensive—we should say half as large again as Ascot,
but we fancy it will not be found too spacious with the at-
traction of the Derby saddling; in front. The rooms on the
basement are appropriated to the officials of the course. They
include the clerk of the course's office, the weighing room,
jockey's retiring-room, printibg-offiee. and many other con-
veniences. This part of the building is warmed by a
powerful stove, and is laid down with matting and properly
ventilated. Two rooms on the principal floor are reserved,
one for the Jockey Club, the other for the Bench bf Magis•
trates, and the remainder being open to the public. The
Grand Saloon is now in progress of decoration, and we can
see enough to warrant us in stating that, when finished, it
will be one of the handsomest rooms of its kind in the
country. On this floor there are two elegant ladies' rooms,
fitted with toilets, and handsomely furnished. A grand en-
trance has been made at the back of the building, and is
most conveniently arranged. A large yard has been en-
closed with gates, so as to allow of carriages setting down
without being molested by the rabble, and the entrance is
wide enough for three carriages to draw up together.
As far as our judgment goes, the arrangements are unex-
ceptionable, and we trust the liberal proprietor and lessee
will reap the. reward of his labours; at all events, from the
interest attached to the great race to come off on Friaay, the
number of horses already en route, and the favourable state
of the weather, we do not hesitate to predicate that the
Spring Meeting willl be a bumper. We shall give the
entries and arrivals to-morrow.

learn that on the morning of the 231 of April, a meeting of the club
will be held, at which the present rules will be thoroughly revised.
and the objects of the institution more extensively made kirown than
at present. A grand morning concert of sacred music will be given
at the church, under the sanction of the Lord Bishop of the diocese.
and other distinguished patronage, the proceeds to be applied to the
infirmary fund. The members of the 'Royal Shaksperean Club will
afterwar's dine together at the Town hall, when C. Wren Iloskyns,
