RAILWAY BILLS

Yesterday the Parliamentary Committees on pri-
vate bills were resumed. In Lord Redesdale's Com-
mittee, held in the Painted Chamber, on the Bris-
tol and Exeter (Exe Valley) Bill, it was reported
that the bill would not be proceeded with ; in the
Bristol and Exeter (further powers) Bill, the stand-
ing orders were dispensed with.

Before the Examiner into the House of Lords'
standing order proofs the following bills were passed:
—The Wolverhampton and Walsall, theNewry and
Armagh, the Bristol Port and Pier, and the Midland
and Glasgow and South Western.
In the House of Commons (Committee on Group
12), the London, Chatham, and Dover Bill was ad-
journed; the London, Chatham, and Dover (No. 3)
Bill was proceeded with and adjourned, as was the
London, Chatham, and Dover (No. 2) Bill ; and
the London, Chatham, and Dover (No. 4) Bill was
adjourned.

CRUELTY TO CALVES.—A Liverpool physician—
wt,i believe Dr. Skinner—and another correspondent of the
Liverpool Daily Post call attention to the horrible cruelties
involved in the prevalent practice of " whitening" veal for
the market. The miserable calf is bled to fainting by a
stab in the jugular vein ; the wound is stuffed with tow ;
a little gruel is administered to restore the action of the
heart, and presently the wound is reopened ; "if the blood
does not flow readily the tail is twisted hard up, and the
animal tortured with blows and kicks." This species of
torture is kept up till death is imminent. The poor ani-
mal is then tied together neck and heels and slung
head downwards. The skin of the neck is then par-
tially removed, and the congeries of veins cut across
with the knife. "An occasional blow with the poleaxe
is given as it flaps to and fro in the air; and the last
and tel

wholesome
remnant of vitality is roused to the perception of pain
by the process of dressing, which consists in skinning the
s
e
animal at certain parts and blowing in air while the
tint tabody is sedulously beaten with rods." All this refined
torture is inflicted because people will have their veal

flavour. This is evidently a matter in which public
opinion should- be brought to bear in aid of humanity
and if the accounts thus'given by the correspondents; of
the Liverpool Daily Post be correct, the sooner the
"bleaching" calves is numbered among
past, such as the whipping of pigs to
the things of the
our consciences andour • . death, the better for
reputation. • •

I-ADVERTISEMENT.] 4olloway'sPills —The truest philo-
sophical spirit of inquiry led to the discovery of this price-
less medicine, and the most unselfish labour and expense
have been incurred in bringing so great a boon to the
knowledge and within the reach of the afflicted through-
out the world. Every invalid who can road will under-
stand the plain directions, in his own language, which are
folded round the pills, which should be taken in the doses
and at the times distinctly specified therein, while great
attention, should be paid to diet and manyztocrh
