ABIPTON RAILWAY.

Mr. HOPE presented a petition from the Town Coun-
cil of Southampton in favour of the Direct Manchester
and Southampton Railway. The petitioners,•he stated,
prayed that the House might order the petition to be re-
ferred to the consideration of the Railway Committees.
Mr. GISBORNE, in rising to move for a Committee
to inquire into the conduct of certain parties who had
fraudulently inserted a sheet in a petition which referred
to this railway, while it was in the offices of the Go-
vernment, said that he did not intend persisting in his
motion, inasmuch as the parties offending had made a
sufficient apology and explanation. He had much plea-
sure in being able to do this ; for had not thecez
re-
quired explanation been given he should
tainly have called upon the House

The formal process having been taken in this case, the
Committee declared that the standing orders had been com-
plied with.

THE ER GREIIT 'WESTERN.

The promoters of this line also proved that they had given
the necessary notice's; and so deposited the plans and sections
as to entitle them to bring in a Bill, and the Committee de-
cided that the standing orders had been duly complied with.

(Mo7l,lC.irii MRANCH).

The next case brought before the Committee was that of
the London and Brighton Company, who petitioned for leave
to bring in a Bill to make a branch from a point on theirmain
line to a place at or near Dorking, in the county of Surrey.
The Committee took an objection to the plans and fections,
because the point of junction with the ma►n line was not dis-
tinctly stated on the plan of the datum line of the branch.
Mr. RASTICE admitted that this intern-felon was not fully
set out on the plan, but if the Committee would strictly
scrutinise the plan they would find that it was an error of
the printer, and not of the engineer. But on the plan of
the datum branch and the main line the point of junction
was mathematically stated, and any engineer could at the
first glance hit upon that point.
The CHAIRMAN did not question for a moment that an
engineer could arrive at the information without difficulty,
but this was what the public complained of. They said the
plans of many railway companies' branches were so prepared
that none but a professional eye could decide on looking at
the plans, the precise point where the junction was to be made.
The Committee decided that the standing orders had not
been complied with.

resolutions were then put and agreed to.
Lord DENMAN brought in a Bill to give the Courts of

Lord BEAUMONT gave notice, that some day next week
ho would move for a Select Committee to consider the

Lord CAMPBELL suggested that, as some Railway Bills
were to originate in the llouse of Lords, it might be ex-
pedient that the Government should originate some of
their own measitees also in the House of Lords.
The Duke of WELLINGTON would take care that the
suggestion should be catried to the proper quarter.

less activity in the demand for 'that description of stock;
nevertheless, Monday's prices were pretty generally sup-

Mutton, trade was tolerably firm, at the late advance in the

5 Calves, from Holland. Calves were in moderate supply,

STATE OF DUNGARVAN.—The accounts We continue
to receive from Dungarvan are, indeed, melancholy in the
extreme. Sickness, scarcity, and want of employment, shed
their bitterness upon the devoted heads of the poor. There
are upwards of five thousand human beings, we are given to
understand, in a state of want and wretchedness, requiring as-
sistance from itlovernment, or from those whom God has blessed
with means for such purpose. The poorhouse is crammed
with women and children, in which there are also upwards
of forty men capable of work, but none to be had. The spread
of fever is really alarming, induced, of course, from want,
cold, and hunger. Nor do the evils stop here. The poor-
law guardians met on last Thursday, when they reported
that the supplyof potatoes, destined for use during the season,
an carefully put up, turned out, on examination, to be more
than half rotten, and that the remainder are going fast,—

The amalgamation of the Perth line with the Inverness and
Elgin Junction, which proposes to carry branches to Find-
horn, 3urgbead, and Lossiemouth, the three chief ports on the
south side of the Moray Firth, enables the united companies
to supply accommodation to the public in the most effective
form, as the whole traffic of the counties north and west of
the Moray Firth will in this way be concentrated en the line,
and forwarded by the most direct route to the south of Scot-
land. It is of importance, in considering the rival claims of
these lines and the Great North of Scotland scheme, to keep
in view that the traffic of the northern counties, both in pas-
seßgerA, merchandise, and stock, with the towns and markets
of the south, and not with the coast districts between Elgin
and the Firth of Tay, with which the Aberdeen line pro
poses to establish a c,nunexion.

the House whilst Mr. Finch was speaking. The present

e
reg:trd these as, perhaps, the most important Bills from

nication to a i2rge and most important section of the country,
which is at preseot: wholly unsupplied. The Perth and In-
verness line is a coninttation of the Central line, opened up
by the Caledonian and cottish Central, and places the whole
north of Scotland in the molt direct communication with the
south, of which the nature of the country admits. The dis-
tance from Inverness to Perth, by the proposed route, is
1304 miles, and the following table, prepared from an exa-
, ruination of the plans, in comparison with those of the Great

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SECONDARIES' COURT, August 7.
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
MORTIMER V. STYLES.

This was an action to recover the sum of 131. 10s. on an
" 1.0. U."

The defendant pleaded that he was neverindetited, on which
a point was raised.
On the part of the plaintiff the " 1.0. U." was put in, and
proved to be in the defendant's hand-writing.
The jury thereupon gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
The defendant, whe was present, said it was a very hard
care upon him, for although he certainly had had the money,
the defendant owed him 601.

The SECONDARY said that that ought to have been pleaded
as a set off or satisfaction.

The defendant said he left it all to his lawyer, who had
now left the Court.

The SECONDARY said, the defendant, if his story was cor-
rect, had been ill-advised by his attorney; but the jury could
not have returned any other verdict upon the evidence, and
indeed, by the forms of law, no proof of a larger sum being
due could be admitted under the plea that defendant was
never indebted. Some of the jury said the law was open to
all, and no doubt a jury would decide in his favour in an
action against hi: attorney.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

"The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On au average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 591.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declaled
on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),

spirited raffle at ss. a share would certainly induce all the

hat been the frequent suggestion of several Gentlemen, con-
stant patrons, that a SHOOTING JACKET and VEST, made of the
same kind of Llama Cloth as used by them in the Registered Paletot,
but in calours more suitable for the purpose, would give much
satisfaction ; such have been prepared ; and the Jacket and Vest
together will weigh but 16 ounces. There will also be a variety in
thicker substances, but, for the extreme heat anticipated on the
moors this season, those described will be found a perfect luxury in
comparison with others. They will also be found very useful as a
Fishing Coat, and other such purposes ; but it Is necessary to observe
that they can only be had in London, of H. J. and D. NICOLL, at
