The Committee met to-day at the usual hour ; Mr. Southeron in the
chair.

WINDSOR, SLOUGH, AND STAINES AT.

MOSPHERIC.

The business was commenced with the cross-examination of
Mr. Bedborough, the Deputy Chairman of the Company, who was
examined on Friday last as to the estimates, &c.
Mr. Milne, enginer, was then examined—He proved that the pro-
posed line wof.ld not increase the floods at Eton College, and that
the plans suggested to prevent them would be successful ter that
purpose. The estimates were quite sufficient to complete the under-
taking.

Mr: Braithwaite, engineer, corroborated the evidence of lee
witnea3.

Edward Jeese, inspector of her Majesty's parks and palaces was
exam:tied as to the benefits which would be derived by the public
generally from the line. He was also of opinion that it would not
interfere with the privacy of Eton College, but, on the contrary,
would be the means of removing the great omnibus traffic which at
present exists on the turnpike road, and interfering very materially
with the quietude of that place.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

THE “SUN " RAILWAY MAP.

We this day present to our readers a map exhibiting all
the English Railways in existence, in the course of forma-
tion, or projected. This map has been drawn by Mr.
James Wyld, the celebrated hydrographer, and has
been engraved by an entirely novel process. The
expense of its preparation has been very great,
but that expense has been well bestowed, because it has se-
cured accuracy of delineation, and elegance of execution.
Of the first, the name of Mr. Wyld, whose maps are appealed
to as authorities in every part •f the world, is a sufficient
guarantee, while as regards the last, the map itself is its own
best witness. The manner in which the map has been got
up reflects the gres.f.9st credit on Mr. Wyld's taste, know-
ledge, and genius.

3fr. Sergeant 3IURPHY, on behalf of the promoters, addressed the
Committee briefly, and concluded by saying that he bad had a
consultation with his clients that morning, and they had thought
it advisable to withdraw their Bill, at the same time they utterly dis-
claimed all the imputations of fraud thrown out against them.
The CHAIRMAN said that in the course of the inquiry to which they
had given a patient investigation, they had not seen the slightest
ground for the charge of fraud. It became therefore the duty of the
Committee to declare that the preamble of the Bill of the Aberdeen,
Banff, and Elgin Railway had not been proved. The preamble of
the Bill of the Great North of Scotland line had been proved. The
several clauses of the Bill of the Great North of Scotland Railway
were then agreed to.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, an eminently
balsamic preparation, is equally celebrated for its safety in
application, as for its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly
purifying the skin of all redness, pimples, spots, freckles, tan, and
discolourations ; producing a healthy freshness and transparency of
complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the hands,
arms, and neck!

In cases of chilblains, chapped skin,or incidental inflammation, It
13 pre-eminently successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it
allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Cont-
inent of Europe, together with the " elete" of the aristocracy, and
"haute volee.

Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
spurious "Xalfdors" 'for sale, composed" of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering'healCh. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor'' are on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty from a steel plate by Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co.) and that A. ROWLAND and SON, 29, Hatton-
garden, are engraved (by authority) on the Government Stamp affixed
on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and 88. Gd. per bottle. Sold by the
Proprietors,-and by chemists and per-Az-niers.

STANDING ORDERS ON RAILWAYS.

The Earl of DEVON presented a petition, praying for an
alteration in the standing orders on railways requiring petitions
to be presented on the merits of the case not later than the 28th
March, and before the second reading of this Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM said he must oppose the reception of
such a petition as this, as he himself was about to meve for
the abrogation of those orders, on the ground of the great in-
justice which it occasioned to many individuals. He was the
more induced to do this, because the individual for whom he
spoke had been cast into prison, by not complying with the
order. He should present that petition on Friday.
