TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Sir—lt is with very great surprise that I find in your
paper of the 9th of February, 1846, the following words
ascribed to Mr. H. Dobree. Mr. U. Debris: said :

" That he found in all the cases brought before the
Court, that the officers gave a good character to the ac-
cused. These geutlemen, perhaps, only looked to the
qualities of the men as soldiers, but certain it was that
they gave gold characters to the worst men. Fossey,
of the 48th regiment, was one of the worst men in the
corps, and yet he received a good character from his
officers."

If Mr. Dobree so expressed himself (I sincerely hope
he did not), he has attempted to take away the charac-
ter of a poor man: he has impugned the veracity of offi-
cers and gentlemen, and committed himself to a direct
falsehood.
Private Fossey, of the 48th regiment, bore an excel-
lent character at the time referred to, as a good man and
as a good soldier. There is no such thing as a good
soldier being a bad man, however much Mr. Dobree
may think fit to depreciate the military branch of her
Majesty's service.
The Royal Court of Guernsey (always excepting Mr.
Dobree) believed the testimony of the officers of the
48th Regiment, and I have no doubt will continue to
do so.
Mr. Dobree, in his place as jurat, is at liberty to ex-
press his sentiments on matters brought before the Court;
in so doing he had better confine his opinions to the laws
of his country, and things he can form some estimate
of, and leave the conduct and character of the British
army alone.

"Ne sutor ultra crepidam."
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

FIRE AT A CARD MANUFACTORY. Between three
and tour o'clock yesterday afternoon, while the workmen were en-
gaged on the premises of Messrs. Reynolds and Son, card-makers,
Vere-street, Clare-market, the heat became so intense, that they were
unable to proceed, and on examining the cause, they discovered the
wainscoting of the drying-room on fire. They instantly sent for the
engines, and assistance was speedily obtained. Meanwhile, the
workmen._ had procured water from the Xew River main, and on the
firemen
reaching,, the spot, the destruction of that and the adjoining
aspreventel. The damage done, however, was very ex-
tensive.

The Committee of Shareholders direct the attention of the
Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors
Of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders
for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in
the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf-
ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im-
pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which
would arise to the Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab-
lished dividend-paying company.
There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with
the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the
Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the
Directors were convinced it was the wish of the larger portion of
the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar-
rangement.

The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object,
arid thoy now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the
meeting, and If they vote for the continuance of the project to do so,
accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion on the
advantage of amalgamation.

It is necessary for every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the
meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a
friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the
Committee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. 11.

Mr. Edward Ballis, 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. Edward ey, armer Mr. J. Firth, land bleacher, arket
Drayton; M Ril
r. Wilson, f
landed; proprietor, gave similar widen el 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 theischeme should be persisted in or net, although
the holders 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 resumed their labours this morning by proceeding
with the further consideration of the above scheme. The case for
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 lino of railway to accommo-
date the traffic, and furnish a free intercommunication.
The engineering evidence 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 fu ly 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 nut always sustained.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the supply of English Wheat on sale to, day was again
limited, the demand for that article, owing to the thin attend-
ance of buyers, and the fineness of the weather for the
growing crops, was in a very depressed state, and Monday's
reduced figures were with difficulty supported. Foreign
Wheat was a mere drug, and prices were almost nominal. In
Corn under lock a few sales were concluded; Wheat certificates
were held at 103. per qr. Barley moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
We had only a retail demand for Malt, at previous currencies. The
supply of Oats was again small, nevertheless the inquiry was in a
sluggish state, and prices were barely maintained. Beans, Peas,

Mr. ltendel, en?ineer, examined—The whole cost of the line, with
its branches, was 67 miles, 1 furlong, and the estimate of the whole
works was 506,0321. There were no engineering difficulties of any
magnitude, and in his opinion, the estimates were quits sufficient to
construct the works.

GROUP XXXII.

The Committee met this morning at twelve ; Mr. J. E. Denison
in the chair.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER-
HAMPTON RAILWAY (BRANCHES).
Mr. COCKBURN laid a statement before the Committee respecting
the Stratford-on-Avon Canal and the Stourbridge Canal, both of
which the Railway Company propose taking powers in their Bill to
purchase. The Stratford ;'anal, incorporated in 1793, forms a junc-
tion with the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at King's-Norton,
proceeds to Kingswood, and joins the Warwick and Birmingham
Canal, and then goes on to Stratford. The original shares of 1001.
were reduced to 301., and were at present worth no more than 24/.,
and 2 per cent. only had been paid last year. The Stourbridge
Canal, incorporated in 1837, was constricted principally for minerals,
and cost a:,cut 49,000/. In 1840 it yielded no return, and last year
the return was 4 per cent.
Mr. Commix said the railway would cause both canals to be
most unprofitable concerns. The railway company seeing that the
canals would suffer, and would oppose them to the utmost, proposed
to purchase up the interest in the canals, and they proposed to pro-
vide for this purchase either by borrowing or by a rent charge.
The CHAIRMAN inquired whether the railway company meant to
shut up the canals ?

Mr.COCSMIRN-;aid they proposed to keep them open, and use
them for heavy goods ; and they would, if required, bring up clauses
binding them to that effect.
Mr. LAING offered opposition on the part of the Warwick and fir-
mingkam Canal, but

TfiCCHAIRMAN suggested that Mr. Laing's clients would be safer if
Parliament should take security that the water communication
should be kept open, and that tolls should be fixed within a reason.
able limit.

Mr. LAING bowed to the suggestion of the Committee.

-111‘ Crane, a girl against whom a new indictment had
been sent up yesterday, for aiding alward Ilarten in violating-
the person of Mary Esler, was found guilty of the crime im-
puted to her.

Judge CRAMPTON, after commenting in strong terms on
the atrocity c f the crime, sentenced the prisoner to be trans-
ported for life.

James 111‘131ain, and several others, were indicted for ex-
tensive forgeries on the Loan Fund in Belfast. They were
also indicted for a conspiracy to defraud the Loan Fund, by
representing as true documents, purporting to be securities,
which were forged.
On the part of the prosecution it was agreed to receive from
the prisoners a plea of " guilty" of conspiracy, with an un-
dertaking not to press the charge of forgery.
Judge CRAM TON sentenced the parties respectively to
nine months' imprisonment.

COUNTY OF FE RM AI V AG H.--Enniskillen, July 18.
Eleven persons, charged with being members of a Ribbon
Lodge, were arraigned; but on the earnest application of 14r.
Schoeles, the Crown counsel, their trial was postponed until
next assizes.

The JUDGE directed that they should be let out on bail, and
Judge Torrens sent for the resident magistrate to take bail ;
but it is stated that that functionary declined to attend, and,
after soma delay, another magistrate was induced to come
forward and receive bail for the prisoners !

ZU
BRISTOL AND DXRDSINGIUMVE (GLOUCES-
TER. AND STONE NCTION),.
The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Strafford in the
ekaLr. by Mr• -- Pr
Mr. Robert Stephenson, examined litreenn—Was engi-
neer to the line between Gloucester and Stonehouse, on which there
was considerable traffic north and south. The traffic to the south
passe I off at Standish, towards Swindon, and that to the west, which
was very considerable, passed on to Bristol. He considered the lay-
ing down of the narrow gauge on this portion of the line, and at the
side of the broad gauge, so as to entirely disencumber it, a most essen-
tial step, if the
narrow gauge was intended to be carried on
to Brittql. A narrow within a broad gauge would be most
inconvenient; but the Legislature seemed to be of opinion
that there should be a mixed gauge between Standish and
Bristol, which would have the effect of testing the practicability of
working two gauges in conuexion with each other, and whether his
opinion as to the inconvenience and danger of such a practice was
sound or not. His opinion was, that this would be found so objec-
tionable, that narrow gauge lines would have to be laid down by the
side of the broad, and unconnected with it. Besides the
narrow gauge line traffic, if there were a mixed gauge,
would be under the control of the Great Western, and consequently
the whole traffic going north and south. A slip of land of from 24
to 34 feet would be required. The Rev. Mr. Niblet's case was simply
one for compensation. The estimate was 100,0001.
Mr. M'Connell, locomotive superintendent of the Birmingham and
Gloucester line, testified to the inconvenience, expense, and danger of
the diversity of gauge at different portions of that line in its connexion
with the Great Western. At Gloucester two stations were necessary,
which would not be the case if there was a narrow gauge all the
way from Bristol, and, of course, the expesse was increased
by making two lines and by two establishments. A mixed
gauge was highly objectionable under any circumstances, but
particularly where two would work over the same ground,
and if the traffic was very large it could not be
otherwise than exceedingly dangerous. In this case the
traffic would IT got on both lines, and it would be increased when the
Monmouth and Hereford was opened. At Standish the Great
Western run across the the Gloucester and Birmingham, and the
traine ran the risk of ocounteritil trains MAN Ercill Bristol, owing

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(YESTERDAY)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Room A.
CORNWALL.
The Chairman (Viscount Torrington) and the other members of
this Committee re-assembled to-day, at eleven o'clock.
The evidence against the Bill was resumed.
Dr. Mitchell, mayor of Bodmin, was examined, and stated that
that town, being situated on a high acclivity, the deep cutting of the
proposed railway would most seriously affect the supply of spring
water to the town. He did not consider that the river water would
be a substitute for the spring water, as it came from a very marshy
mil, and was strongly impregnated with peat; besides it would have
to be conveyed to the town from a distance by means of tunnels, at
considerable expense. The other point from which river water could
be obtained was the river Allen, but it would have to be forced up a
hill. A project of that kind was entertained some time ago by some
of the inhabitants of Bodmin, but abandoned in consequence of the
enormous cost of such an undertaking.
Mr. Rich, member of the corporation of the town of Bodmin, cor-
roborated the preceding evidence.
Mr. Bampton, engineer, was examined, and stated that the Bodmin
branch was very well suited to the town, and that gradients for two
miles of 1 in 38 would be required to effect a junction between this
branch and a central line.
Mr. Locke, engineer, was examined, "and stated that the two
points (Doubieboys and Truro), proposed by the Cornwall line
for a eentral communication, were objectionable, and points of di-
vergence better suited to the district, and at a less expense, might
'be obtained.
After some further evidence, the case of the opponents to the Bill
was concluded, and the Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock
to-morrow.

Room B.
VALE or NEATE.

The members of this Committee re-assembled to-day at eleven
o'clock.

The case for the retitioners against the Bill was entered upon
to-day.

Mr._ Tennent, one of the petitioners against the Bill, was ex-
amined, and stated that the proposed railway would ruin the interests
of himself and his family, and expressed his opinion that that under-
taking would not confer the advantages on the district that were ex-
pected.

Mr. Charles Tennent, one of the petitioners against the Bill, and
brother to the preceding witness, addressed the Committee at length,
contending that the proposed railway was a wanton invasion of pri-
vate property, without any public advantage, and expressing his hope
that their Lorclskips wonl4 not sanction such an undertaking.
The Committ4 decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved.
