QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.'
A considerable time was occupied to-day in the hear-
ing of a case in which the governors-or ti ustees of th,
Borough-road Institution sought to have their esta-
blishment exempted from a local parish tax. After a
long argument,
The COURT decided that the institution did not come
within the- exvmprions cont,m plated by the Act.

BAIL COUttI...—(THIS DAY.)
In this Court to day several applications were made,
but all of them devoid of public interest. One was s
case in which a motion was made for a writ for a dis-
iringas for 5,000/. against a pay who was alleged to
have sold his goods and gone abroad, in consequence of
embarrassments in which he was involved, by reason ol
railway speculation. Ho (the defendant), whose name
was Wake, alleged that he had never heard of any pro-
ceedings being taken against him, and in answer to th«
Court, as to how he h:.td come by the knoA ledge of it,
he said he had heard of it on a Sunday, but that legal!)
he had not. The present application was for a writ of
outlawry against him, as it was alleged he was not ex-
pected to return, and that in several such cases Sunday
had been held to be a legal day.
The COURT granted the rule.

Mr. Lusu moved for a mandamus, commanding the
Thames Haven Railway and Dock Company to pay
a party the amount of a judgment he had obtained against
them, and prayed that it might be granted at once, as the
Bill of the Company would expire in July.
The COURT granted the rule, but said it should be in
the ordinary way.

quillify certainly prevails on this side Lahore, and if it
be not deceptive, shows how wonderfully the native
mind can adapt itself to circumstances. The road from
Lahore to Ferozvf,re is reported so safe, that goods
move up and down ssithout escorts. The only grumbhig
we have from Lahore, and which seems too well founded,
is that regarding post-office arrangements, which con-
tinue very inefficient indeed. That which prohibits the
prepayment of letters at, and compels prepayment to, La-
hore, is very unjust, and a positive breach of contract be-
twen the Government and the public. It is not the fault
of the public that proper arrangements are not made, and
why should they suffar because a certain department is
inefficient? We. hope the Postmaster General will
speedily put matters to rights, as we understand he is on
or beyond the Sutlej. We regret to learn that a Court-
martial was definitively ordered t.i assemble at Lahore
on the 13th instant (Monday last) for the trial of
Captain Cecil, of the 12th Regiment N. 1., Brigadier
Eckford to be President. Ten lacs of rupees, the money
we presume expected from Mooltaa, had arrived at
Lahore on the 7th of April, under escort of a, Mahom-
tnedan regiment.
A letter from Lahore give an interesting account of a
trip from Lu dianah to that place via Jullindur and
Utnritsir. A gentleman started palkee dak, and tra-
versed that part of the country wh4re bearers are un-
known; but, he says, people of all callings were ready
to carry him, and seemed to regard it as great amuse-
ment. He was attended only by a mounted guard of
Seikhs, who had fought against us in the recent battles.
The people of the country were civil and attentive, and
did all in their power to facilitate the traveller's pro
gress. A let,,,er from Loodianah says the artillery had
arrived there, "rejoicing in prospect of not having to
spend the hot weather without a roof over their heads."

LAHORE, APRIL 10.—The Ranee is very ill ; the
troops are exceedingly healthy—her Majesty's 80th have

fever and-one of dysentery. When the filth has been
cleared away we shall not know the place.—Agra

Present, Mr. E. Buller (Chairmen). Mr. Broadley, and Mr. Stuart, and
proceeded with the consideration of the
WORCESTER, liI3REFORD, ROSS, AND
GLOUCESTER.
The object of the proposed Bill is to connect those towns with the
branches of the Great Western Railway. The length of the whole
line as originally contemplated would be about seventy miles, but
we understand that it is Intended to withdraw part of the project.
which would greatly diminish the length of the line, and reduce the
estimated cost from 1,500,0001. to 1,000,0001.
The engineer is Mr. Brunel, the agents are Messrs. Burke, Pritt,
Venal)les and Co. The solicitors are Messrs. Howe and Runt, White-

THE RIVER PLATE.

LIVERPOOL, Arius, 4.—Accounts from Monte Video to the
31st of January, and from Buenos Ayres to the 28th, have
been received by her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, arrived at
Portsmouth.

The intelligence is of considerable interest. Oa the 16th
of January the mercantile expedition up the Parana had
ascended the river to within thirty miles of Santa Fe, under
the convoy of five vessels of war, preceded in advance by
her Majesty's steam frigate Firebrand, and the French
steamer Fulton. On the afternoon of that day, whilst pro-
ceeding through a narrow pass, the ships were tired upon
for several hours from the heights, which had been take 4
possession of by General Mancilla, with eight pieces of artil-
lery. The shells arid heavy guns from the squadron could
not reach them. It does not appear that any of the vessels
suffered f►om the cannonade.

Some of Riveriqa's officers, with a small force, had been
completely annihilated, near Maldonado, by a very superior
force, under General Barrios, and in consequence Maldonado
had been abandoned, and upwards of 300 of its families had
taken refuge in Monte Video.
Advices had been received in the River Plate to the 18th
of December from Liverpool, by the Columbus, via Pernam-
buco and Rio. Her Majesty's steamer Alecto had arrived
from Portsmouth at Monte Video, and was to proceed im-
mediately up the Parana. Conjecture was busy as to the
object of the mission.
From Buenos Ayres there are dates to the 26th January.
ReAas was issuing 2,500,000 of paper dollars monthly, to meet
the demands upon his treasury. Their sterling value, how-
ever, is very insignificant, exchange on England being as low
as 2d. per dollar.
London, England, 1846-04-07

WAY AND PIER.

The consideration of this proposed line of railway was resumed.
Mr. Thomas Morle, Mr. Stadowiek, and Mr. Buller were called,
and severally examined. These parties are residents, and carrying-
on business in places through which this line Is proposed to run.
The testimony of these witnesses was to the effect that the connexion
of Minehead with Bridgewater would be advantageous to them-
selves and to the agricultural community of that part of the country.
Mr. James Murray, a civil engineer, had had great experience
for the last fifteen years in the erection of piers and bridges, and con-
sidered that Minehead was the most eligible harbour in the Bristol
Channel for the erection of a pier for the accommodation of the
public. He thought the estimate which Mr. Harnett, the engineer of
this line, had produced, was in every respect sufficient for its con-
struction.

Other witnesses won produced, who spoke to the amount of traffic
existing in that district.

The written assent of the Admiralty to the proposed pier was put in.
This closed the case of the promoters.
Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., (who appeared In support of the interest of Sir
Peregrine Acland, a landowner, through whose property the proposed
hue would run) proceeded in a speech of considerable length,
contending that the present was a scheme got up to serve the ends
of private individuals, regardless of the injury to property and the
useless expenditure of money. Ile contended that the trade
at present existing with Bristol and the south of Ireland would not
go to Minehead, as endeavoured to be proved by the promoters of this
scheme, even if the proposed railway and pier were completed, but
that Milford would be eventually the port for the importation of
Irish produce. The Learned Counsel concluded his address by call-
ing on the Committee to decide that the preamble of this Bill had not
been proved.
Mr. King and Mr. Boyle, the former an agent of Sir P. Aeland, the
latter a solicitor, were then examined.
.

It being now four o'clock, the Committee adjourned till twelve
o'clock to-morrow (Tuesday).

The room was then cleared in order that the Committee alight

Parties were admitted in a few minutes, when the decision of the

Railway had not been preyed" was announced
Mr. HILDYARD said, after the decision of the Committee, he should

Western Company.
All otleer opposition having been withdrawn, the Committee pro-

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION.

This Bill had been re-committed from the Standing Orders Com-

that it should not come on till two o'clock, it stood over, with the
understanding that it should be called on at two o'clock if no other
Bill was before the Committee at that hour.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY)
(Before Mr. Commissioner ForannisQuE.)
IN RE LADD.
This insolvent, who was a brewer at Dover, came up for
his adjourned final order.

An'objection was taken that there was an omission in the
schedule fatal to the petition, one of the sheets not being
signed by the insolvent's attorney, or an attesting witness.
Mr. DUNCAN strongly contended that there was no cul-
pable negligence or fraud contemplated in this case, and that
therefore the Learned Commissioner had the power to allow
an amendment—it was clearly an omission by mistake.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, after hearing the arguments
and referring to the cases quoted, said it was an objection
which ought not to be favoured after the case had been
heard two or three times on the merits, and he was at first
afraid that the term of the statute were so imperative that
he could r.ot give leave to amend the schedule, but he was
DOW satisfied that under the 7th and Bth Vic., c. 96, s. 30,
he had a power to amend generally. He should, therefore,
allow the insolvent to reswear the sheet in dispute that it
might be duly attested.

(THIS DAY.)

GROUP IX.
The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Lord Worsley is the
chair.

WEST OP SCOTLAND JUNCTION.

The hearing of evidence in opposition to this scheme was resumed
this morning.
Mr. Atherton was called, and briefly re-examined In continuation
from yesterday, as to the stability of the proposed viaduct.
Mr. Walker, engineer of the Clyde HarlsourJunction, examined by
Mr. Sergeant BELLLSIS —He advised the purchasing of the land at
Stobins, and made plans for the Docks. The plans also included
the plans for the river-quays. The proposed dock had relation to
the mineral traffic which was expected to come upon it from the
branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. In laying down
the docks, he also laid down rails to accommodate the mineral traffic,
and that only. The size of the dock and basin he proposed was 17%
acres. They had passed a Bill through a Committee of the House of
Commons to effect this object. The bridge proposed last
year was about forty feet from the Glasgow Bridge.
He knew something of the foundations of the bridge and
quays, and they were fine running sand. lie could speak per-
sonally about the foundation of the quay walls, and respecting the
bridge. He had the evidence of others. He had often found the walls
fail through the sand running, and the foundations not being deep
enough. He thoeght that in driving piles and forming coffer-dams,
there would be great danger of the present bridge giving way. Ile
did not think the work impossible, though it was one which no cau-
tious engineer careful of his professional character would undertake.
He had no objection to a connexion between the two rails, but lie
would propose it to be done by a circuitous route, commencing at
Shiers-bridge, on the south side of the river, and crossing the Clyde
above itutherglen-bridge, joining the Edinburgh and Glasgow above
the inclined plane. It would be six miles in length, while the
proposed junction was three and a half miles. The heaviest
gradient of the line skirting the city was 1 in 80,
and avoided the tunnel on the inclined plane of I in 42.

EXTRACT PROM PRIVATE LETTER.

" Per Apollo, Monte Video, Jan. 28.
"The House of Representatives at Buenos Ayres have
passed unanimously a reply to Roses, amounting to an emis-
sion, monthly, of 2,300,000 dollars during the war, and for
three months afterwards. We should be nearer the mark
were we to calculate the emission at 5,000,000 dollars
monthly. Who dares inquire into it? The result has been,
that exchange is down to less than 2d.
"In piece goods, nothing doing. Exchange,44id.
"In political or military movements, nothing has tran-
spired worthy of comment.
" The exportation of hides from Rio Grande will not be so
heavy.
"JAN. Bl.—We have this moment received the following
important advices from Buenos Ayres, by the Sardinian brig-
of-war Colombo, which vessel sailed from thence on the 28th
inst. :—That the whole of the troops which had hitherto been
encamped at Santa Hugares, distant from the capital three
leagues, have moved, and proceeded to the Guardia de Hujan,
distance 30 leagues. All the artillery and munitions of war
have, likewise, been removed from the capital to the said
place. The native force of militia, composed of men in all
ranks of life, is under orders to proceed to the same quarter.
A law has been passed fer the purpose of bleeding all
foreigners, in the form of a contribution to support the war.
The result of such arbitrary measures all must know; the de-
sign is, doubtless, to intimidate the Governments of France
and England."
London, England, 1846-04-07

GLOUCESTER.

The consideration of the petition against this Bill was resumed.
It was alleged that there were ♦arious inaccuracies on the datum
line between Worcester and Gloucester.

Evidence which was of a purely technical character being beard.
The!Committee found that at the road marked on the section fourteen
miles and six furlongs there was an error of eight feet, the point in
question being marked 116 feet, when it should have been 109 feet.
It was then alleged that on the turnpike road, 15 miles and a half-
furlong, at the point marked 125 feet above the datum line, there was
an error of 18 inches.

Evidence having been beard pro and con, the Committee found
that the allegation was sustained.
The Committee then decided that in the case of this Bill the stand-
ing orders had not been complied with.
