COMMONS SUMMARY.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
The private business having been disposed,
Mr. O'CoNNEnn presented petitions from various parts of
Ireland, praying for the discharge of Mr. W. S. O'ButEs.
After some further business had been disposed of.

Mr. O'CONNELL called the attention of the House to the
letters of Mr. IV. SMITH o'l3lilE-N, and contended that
there was no appointment of a Committee of Selection for
the present session, and that therefore the imprisonment of
Mr. SMITH O'BEIEN was unjust, and that he ought to be
immediately set at liberty. The Honourable and Learned
gentleman concluded by moving that the order of the 27th
of April be discharged.

nesses wet e cross-examined at some length by the counsel for the

interference with the farm-land of the see of York. The witness
said that the Archbishop 'lid not oppose the line in regard to his own
ieglins, lot to the t rests:of those who W.oll I succeed him. He
did not feel the ,nterfcrence on his own account, for at his time of
lite he could not expect to live to see the line completed.
Eatl Fitzwilliam was examined as to the great accommodation
to the country by tie London and York line. Ills Lortaship had but
one oiljectiou to the lisle, and that was, that the promoters should
/make their It ae ht close opposition to the Syston and Peterborough
Rana ay, :tad that at that part the latter line should be common to
both companies. It that should be agreed to, he Lad no objection to
urge T.:alit:4 the I (imam and York Railway.

GROUP XIII.

This Committee met at twelve o'clock. Sir W. Clay in the chair.
Other Members present, Earl Jermyn, Mr. P. Ainsworth, and Mr.
Curteis.

NORTN 132EITISEE (CARLatraLE EXTENSION).

Evidence on behalf of this line of railway was resumed.

Mr. Sault, of Burnstock, in the county ofCumberland, and a justice
of peace for that district, generally agreed In the evidence given yes-
terday by Sir James Graham. He thought the line in question would
be used to a great extent for the conveyance of coal as well as for
the transmission of sheep and cattle. The feeling in Carlisle he be-
lieved was very generally in favour of the line. Both Cumberland
and the county of Roxburgh would be benefited by a through com-
munication.

Cross-examined Mien the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail-
way was opened that would give a good communi-
cati ,n with Liverpool. Liverpool and Newcastle were the
great markets for fat cattle, and that line, with the Carlisle and New-
castle Railway, would give direct communications from Cumberland
to these markets. He thought the North British Extension would
be mainly beneficial in bringing lean stock to Carlisle and Cumber-
land. There were large fairs in Roxburghshire, from which sheep
and cattle were brought for Cumberland. There was a large fair at
Langholtn, and another at Moss Paul, from which sheep would, he
thought, be brought in large rumbers.
. .

Mr. Robert Cowen, a consulting engineer, residing in Carlisle, de-
posed that the opening of the line would be highly beneficial on
account of the deficient supply of coal at present at Carlisle. The
opening of the Newcastle line had been of great benefit in reducing
the price of coal and in increasing the manufacturing power,
and the same results would, he thought, follow the open-
ing of the present line. He thought 40,000 tons of Canobie coal
would be brought to Carlisle, and that this coal would go as far
south as Kendal, and compete with the Wigan coal.

Cross-examined—There were about 60,000 tons of coal annually
consumed in Carlisle, of which, about 20,000 he thought would be
the produce of Canobie. He thought other 20,600 would be exported.
The exports from Carlisle would take place in small vessels ; those
from Annan in large vessels. The 20,000 he believed would all go
down the canal and be exported from the port of Carlisle. He ex-
pected small vessels would come up the canal and take the coals for
reland. He was not aware that the rates were very high.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN SPAIN

BAYONNE, MAY 15.—One of those rugged and solitary
valleys, formed by the spurs of the Navarrese Pyrenees, has
just been the scene of a shocking tragedy, which, if possible,
excited increased horror in the neighbourhood, from the fact
of its having occurred within a short distance of the spot
where the famous Christino Guriello Elorrio was assassinated
only a few days ago.
A fortnight has not yet elapsed since a woman entered an
isolated house, situated in the above locality, and begged its
inmates, consisting of a peasant, his wife, and their infant,
to give her shelter for the night. No sooner was the prayer
made than it was granted with that hospitality for which
the inhabitants of northern Spain are proverbial, and the
stranger sat down to rock the baby's cradle whilst the
pationa lit a candle for the purpose of preparing supper.
She apd her husband then observed that the new coiner,
whose rough voice had previously excited their attention,
had a very masculine aspect, and they were not long in
finding-out that a man, disguised as a female, was beneath
the roof. One rapid glance exchanged between the dis-
mayed couple sufficed to show that each had made this
alarming discovery at the same time, and the peasant, under
pretext of looking after some pigs, went out to seek the as-
sistance of his nearest neighbours. No sooner was he gone
than the pretended woman, assuming a f‘ recious aspect, ap-
proached his trembling companion, who precipitately shut
herself up in an adjoining room. The robber, for such he
was, tried to burst open the door, but, finding it resisted all
his attempts, desisted, threatening that if a sum of money
received the day before by the peasant for some maize was
not immediately given up, he would kill the child which
was sleeping near the miscreant. The poor women, half
dead with fright, and not imagining that such a threat
could be put into execution, refused to leave her
place of refuge, and in a minute afterwards the
screams of the little innocent and its subsequent silence,,ind-
den and profound, told its agonised mother that the monster
had murdered it. This deed of blood consummated, the
wretch strove to break through the mud wall separating him
from his other victim, and in a short time he made an orifice
sufficiently large to admit his head and shoulders, through
which he strove to make his way; but the peasant's wife,
rendered desperate by the death of her child and her own
danger, caught hold of a sickle, and seizilig-i he assailant by
his hair, hacked at his neck with such energy that she
severed his head from the trunk. This, done, she fell to the
ground in a fainting fit, just as the peasant returned with
aid, whose horror and consternation may be imagined on
discovering his infant dead and weltering in its blood, the
body of a decapitated man extended on the floor, and his
unfortuna!e wife in a swoon, with the robbers head at her
feet.

LONDON AND SOUTH ESSEX.

The cross-examination of Mr. Locke, the engineer to the line, was
resumed this morning. The cross•examination was on the part of
the commissidners of the river Lea navigation, who objected to the
Elie on the ground. that the bridges by which It proposed to cross the
river would very seriously and injuriously interfere with the naviga-
tion. Mr. Locke was, however, of opinion that no danger or even
inconvenience would arise, and that the line was free from all engi-
neering difficulties whatever.

Mr. Walker, engineer to the Admiralty, was called and examined
by Mr. SergeantLiErss on the part of the Surry Canal Company.
On Mr. Sergeant Wilkins putting some questions to the witness, with
reference to the docks, which forms one terminus of the proposed
line,
Mr. RAwLissoti objected to any such questions, on the ground that
the dock having been abandoned as a part of the Bill was no longer
before the Committee.
The Committee cleared the room on this point, and on our return
The CHAIRMAN said that no such questions could be put.
Mr. Sergeant Wimitss—Very well, sir, we will proceed with the
lulu and seals without the watch.
The Learned Counsel proceeded to examine the witness as to the
mischief that would result from the line crossing the canal on a swing
bridge so near the water as that which was proposed by the pro-
moters of the Bill. The witness was of opinion that, to cross the
canal in such a manner, would be highly objectionable. He was
cross-examined by Mr. Rawlinson on the part of the promoters.
Mr. Funs!) inquired whether the Committee were of opinion that

THE NEWSPAPER PRESS DIRECTORY characterises this journal
as the " Ablest" of the " Popular Papers." It says there is no
" Paper conducted with more talent or success," and that " it is
especially remarkable, not oily for the great quantity of news it affords,
and the admirable arrangement of its matter—well illustrated by
accompanying observations—but for the ability and variety of its
original articles, in the form of leaders and letters. The advantage
of this ability is enhanced by its being displayed on other than mere
political questions, so that the range of topics is more large and gene-
rally interesting. Thus it is worth mentioning, that it was the only
paper which, during the late controversy between the Press and the
Bar, took up the case of the latter, in a series of letters marked by
great talent."

had proved the most beneficial speculation the country could
have engaged in. The discussion had not concluded when
the post left.
In allusion to the fears which were entertained that the
Peers might postpone certain of the Railway Bills to next
session, the Debate says :

" The qpprehensions which were indulged in on this oc-
casion have not been realized, the Bills have been voted, and
all the railways except that of Avignon have been adjudi-
cated. The public credit has not experienced the slightest
depreciation, and the commercial and financial movement
has precisely, since the moment these great measures of
public utility were voted, received the greatest development
that in France had, up to this day, ever been attained. The
adjournment of the Railway Bills which remain to be conceded
or voted would not, moreover, produce. in a financial point
of view, the result anticipated. The Lyons and Avignon
Railroad, which is to be adjudged in the beginning of June,
has given rise to 18 companies ; after the adjudication of
this line there will be paid back more than 50,000,000 f to
the subscribers of the companies not accepted, or included in
the fusion. The Chamber of Peers will no more rest behind
in the general movement this session than in the preceding
one ; it would not desire to adjourn measures to which so
many interests are attached, and which definitively form the
essential laws that the Chamber of Deputies has to vote in
the course of the present session."
The Prince DE JOINTILLE inspected the iron works of Mr.
BENNErr, at La Ciotato, on the 15th, and seemed much in-
terested in the progress of the construction of the iron steam-
ship Philippe Auguste. His Royal Highness also inspected
