GLASGOW SOUTHERN TERMINAL

was opened by Mr. HILDYARD. The Lea' ned Counsel said that this
line was projected by the proprietors of the Glasgow, Barrhead, and
Neilston Direct Railway, who obtained their Bill last session. By
that Bill they had proposed to cross the Glasgow and Paisley Canal
upon a swivel bridge and on a level, but, in consequence of the op-
position of the Canal Company, a clause was inserted by 'which the
parties were compelled to cross the canal upon a fixed
bridge, giving nine feet clear headway. The necessary
alterations of level resulting from this clause would require
a deviation beyond the limits. Mr. Dixon, the owner of property
through which the Barrhead line would pass, had agreed to give his
consent to the extra deviation, on condition of his receiving 3,0001.
from the company, but not otherwise. In consequence of this de-
mand the company had left their line unfinished, and had made use
of the goods station of the Greenock Company as p terminus, having
no terminus of their own. By this Bill they proposed to make
a line from the Barrhead Railway, near Titwood, to the
Caledonian Railway, which was, in fact, the same concern
with this, an agreement for an amalgamation having been
made. By this means they would have a communication with a
station at their own disposal.
Mr. Graham, the secretary to the Barrhead Company, gave evi,
dente in support of Mr. Hildyard's statement, and Mr. Robson,
the engineer to the line, gave the usual engineering evidence.
The length of the line is one mile, one furlong, and five chains. The
steepest gradient was 1 in 136, 'and the sharpest curve had a radius
of six furlongs. The estimate was 531,0001. Is. 9d.
several other witnesses were called, and cross-examined by Mr.

...—.. -
Horx on the part of Mr.-Dixon, who petitions agahist the Bill, on
the ground that it would do great injury to iron works on his property.
The Learned 'Counsel set up two lines, either of which would avoid
•all the injury to property, but the • Committee rejected both as
impracticable, one being directly in opposition to a clause in theßarr-
head Act, and the other having a gradient of 1 in 45, at the point
where it would join the Caledonian Railway.

Mr. HOPE withdrew his opposition, and after some further evi-
dence had been given,
the preamble was declared proved.
_ _

The Committee then proceeded with the case of the
GLAsGour, PAISLEY, AND GIZEENOCIL

(POLLOC AND GOVAN BRANCH).

The clause which had been agreed upon on Tuesday was inserted,
and the BM was passed.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat haw g been mode-

the result of the division in the House of Lol-ds on the ( Awn Bill, and

Mr. Edward Eallis, land agent, in Cumberland, was also called to
prove the benefits of such a line as this to that country.
Mr. Charles Warren, solicitor, and occupier of laud in the neigh-
bourhood of Market Drayton, stated that that district was greatly in
want of such accommodation as this line would afford to them.
Mr. E. Thley, farmer; Mr. J. Firth, land bleacher, Market Dray-
ton; and Mr. Wilson, landed proprietor, gave similar evidence as to
the advantages of the line. The last-named gentleman admitted, on
cross-examination, that at the late meeting of the proprietors to
determine whether the scheme should be persisted in or not, although
the holdefs of 78,000 shares voted that it should, there were
the holders of 20,780 who recorded contrary votes. At that meeting,
also, a resolution was adopted, to the effect that, supposing the di.
rectors could only obtain one of their three schemes passed by the
Legislature, they would immediately abandon it.
Mr. Thomas Blakemore, banker, Newport, and Mr. Holland, of
the same place, stated that it was the general opinion in that dis-
trict that the construction of this line would be of great benefit to
Newport and the neighbourhood.
Mr. Whitehead, land agent, was also called to show the advan-
tages which the line would confer on the people of Stafford.
Mr. Hayes gave similar evidence with respect to Crewe.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock,

CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND

BILALNCHES).

The CHAIRMAN read a communication, which he said he understood
to have been sent by the Admiralty to the parties to this Bill, and
which was to the effect, that a meeting of the Admiralty would be
held to day, and that they would be able after that meeting to give
their decision as to the crossing of the Clyde. It was, therefore, pro-
posed by the Chairman that this Bill should further stand over till
the meeting being over, the decision of the Admiralty should become
known. They certainly could go on with the proposed alternative
line, but as that line, would be opposed by the West of Scotland
Jouction, it would not be worth while to go into it unless it appeared
would refuse their consent to the crossing

of the Clyde.
This was assented to, and after some discussion as to which case
should now be proceeded with, the case for the

The Committee resumed their labours this morning by proceeding
with the further consideration of the above scheme. The case fur
the promoters not having been finished, witnesses from Coventry,
Birmingham, and Leicester, and their locality, were called to prove
the extensive mineral and other traffic in those parts, and the neces-
sity that existed for the construction of a line of railway to accommo-
date the traffic, and furnish a free intercommunication.

The engineering evigence was gone into, from which it appeared
that the line could be constructed without having to contend against
any peculiar difficulties, and that the estimates were lady sufficient
to carry out the construction of the works.

The line of examination was objected to on several occasions
during the progress of the inquiry by the opponents to the scheme,
but the objections were not always sustained.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

PUGILISM.
PERRY, THE BLACK, AND .. THE UNKNOWN."—At Broome's, last
night, the appointed meeting, to draw up articles for 2001. aside, took
place, when the renowned Bendige, whose retirement we so recently
announced, was, to the surprise of all, and of none more than the
sable hero and his friends, declared to be the man whose name should
fill the blank in the agreement. To this Perry's backer and friend,
Ben Caunt, strenuously objected, on the ground that at the time of
posting the ten pounds, to make the match, Bendy was, by his own
public detlarations, understood to be out of the question. His right
to another " last appearance" was, however, insisted on, and a forfeit
claimed. After much discussion, Caunt and his sable protege left.
This morning, at a further meeting, it was proposed, by Perry's party,
to go on with the match on Monda3 next, at Swift's, who holds the
money down. Whether the last-named person will consider the cash
forfeited, on the ground that Perry undertook to sign and seal on
Thursday, remains to be seen. If he does so, the affair must begin
de novo.

ATMOSPHERIC.

The case of the opposition basing been opened yesterday by Mr.
Warren, and the Rev. Mr. Hawtrey, head-master of Eton College,
having been examined against the line,
Mr. SIMPSON, civil engineer to the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests, and Mr. Bachelor, registrar of Eton College, were examined
this morning at great length. The principal point which occupied
the consideration of the Committee was, whether a piece of land over
which the railway was proposed to pass was the property of the
Crown or not.

Mr. rEMBERTON, solicitor to the Woods and Forests, said, that no
application had been made by the promoters to the Commissioners of
the Woods and Forests respecting their assent. From a communi-
cation he had yesterday with,the chief Commissioner, he was autho-
rised to say that they were opposed to the line.
After some discussion as to the order in which the examination
should be continued, whether there should be an adjournment of
the case till Monday, to hear further evidence on this point, or that
the rest of the case should be proceeded with, it was eventually de-
cidei that farther proceedings should be postponed till twelve
o'clock on Monday.
The Committee then adjourned.

After a considerable dismission between the counsel on each side,
and the Committee, the room was cleared for a division.
On our re-admission into the room,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had decided that
they would take the whole of the evidence as regarded the whole line.
The examination of the witness was then resumed, who gave fur-
ther evidence as to the benefit to be derived from the proposed line.
Mr. Turner, a large agriculturist, of Bath, gave similar evidence
in favour of the line.

Mr. Ferd, carrier, proved that the carriage of goods on the South-
Western was much superior to the Great Western in point of
punctuality, safety, dispatch, and price.
Thomas Kingland, farmer and cider grower, stated the proposed
line would be very convenient for him to send his cider and stock by.
The Committee then rose at four o'clock, and adjourned till Monday.

PRICE 5D

ully described in The Sun of Wednesday), being on a vertical scale
double the horizontal, gave an exaggerated representation of the
scene, which casts no imputation upon the parties, it being admitted
that the misrepresentation was not intended to deceive.
Mr. Thomas Greenwood gave evidence, with some statistical de-
tails, as to the amount of traffic that might be expected upon this line,
and the relative merits of this and the Blackburn and Clitheroe (the
competing) line. The passenger-traffic on this line would be treble
that on the Blackburn and Clitheroe line. There world be 1,622 tons
more coal per annum passing over this than over the Blackburn and
Clitheroe line, and 9,953 more workmen employed.
Mr. BAINES, on the part of the Blackburn and Clitheroe, said he
should wish to see the tables on which those calculations were
ounded before cross-examining the witness,
Copies of the tables were handed to Mr. Baines, and,
It being now four o'clock, the Committee adjourned, Mr. Baines
postponing his cruss•examination till their next meeting.
They adjourned till Monday at twelve o'clock.

_NEW COURT.

The Court was occupied throughout the morning with
cases of uttering base coin, but none of them possessed any
feature of interest beyond the incidents usual to these cases.

" The Highland Garb" has been admitted by almost
universal consent to rank with the very choicest costume,i,
whether as regards the richness of the materiel or the grace-
ful arranggment of the drapery; and as universally has it
been conceded that within the four seas of Britain is not to
be found a caterer so deeply read in the "sets" of the several
elan tartans as Mr. Macdougall of Invemess.. That gentle-
man, as appears by an advertisement in another part of our
paper, is now in London, where, in order to accommodate the
wants of his southern customers, he intends to remain a few
days. He has been fortunate enough to secure a copy of the
" Yestiartnn Scoticum," compiled from the original MS.,
once belonging to the celebrated John Leslie, Bishop of
Ros 3, and the admirers of the Breacdn may therefore rest
assured that no modern innovation shall be permitted to
interfere with "the checks," which the patronage of her
Majesty and her Illustrious Consort have again rendered
national.

not large, yet the sale for it was very heavy, and Monday's quotations
were with difficulty supported In corn under lock we heard of _no

Malt came slowly to hand, yet the demand was in a sluggish sty te,
at previous quotations. The Oat trade was dull, yet a fair clears 4 :CC

petitioners also stated, that the ground taken for the building,

could have been obtained much nearer to the town. The peti-
tioners had been refused all redress, and prayed that they might
be heard before the Committee then sitting on the Andover

DR. ROGET'S REPLY.

Royal Society. Somerset House, April 3rd, 1846.
Sir,—l am instructed by the President and Council of
the Royal Society to inform you, in reply to your com-
munication, that they do not consider themselves autho-
rised to revise the grounds on which a royal medal has
already been awarded ; and I am further directed to
communicate to you a resolution which they have
adopted, with a view to the prevention of future difficul-
ties in the awards of royal medals, and I accordingly
enclose a copy of that resolution.—l am, sir, your obe-
dient servant,

P. M. ROGET, Secretary.

Such is a repetition of the details concerning the
award of the last and long-to-be-remembered medal in
physiology. They are startling, and almost sufficient to
shake the Royal Society to its centre. That such things
should have occurred during the presidency of the Mar-
quis of Northampton, will for ever be a reproach to this
nobleman. It could not be supposed that he should
comprehend the nature of anatomical details, but it
might have been supposed, that on accepting the first
office in the first scientific society in the world, he would
so far have studied the statutes and regulations by which
it is governed, as to have rendered the perpetration of
these irregularities impossible. That he did not is a
clear evidence of his unfitness for.the elevated post he
occupied, unless, indeed, he can claim something ap-
proaching to royal impunity, and pass the blame down-
wards entirely to the acting officials.

EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCUESTEfI
The cross-examination of Mr. Divett, M.P. for Exeter, was re-
sumed this morning by Mr. AUSTIN, on behalf of the Great Western
Railway. He stated that there had been enormous specula-
tion in Exeter in railway concerns. Ile believed. Mr.
Toby was a native of Exeter ; he had not the pleasure of
knowing him. He knew Mr. Woolmer very well. He believed he
was Chairman of this Company. He would be sorry to see the broad
gauge taken up on that portion of the line between Bristol and
Exeter for several reasons. One of his reasons was, the iccon-
venience of a change of gauge. Another reason was, that
he did not think it probable that he would be al de to
make the journey from Exeter to London in so short a
time by the narrow as by the broad gauge. He considered,
however, that both gauges were a mistake, and that Mr. Brun in was
.lx_eillei to
London wrong in dashing out at once as he did into a 7 feet gauge ; !And, on
gauge,

narrow for purposes of speed. In his opinion, Parliament had acted

history, upon an uniform gauge.
