CHESTER AND WEST CHESHIRE JUNCTION.

A 'Marneliffe meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Westminster-chambers—
Mr. Kyrkepenson in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution approving a
bill for authorising the company to make extensions,
which was carried.

The Solicitor read the heads of a bill for granting
to the Great Northern Railway Company running
powers over a portion of the Newton and Campstall
Branch Railway ; authorising the two companies to
execute certain works; enabling the Great Northern
and the:Midland Railway Companies to become joint
owners with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin-
colnshire Railway Company of that company's God-
ley and Woodley branch; and transferring to the
three companies the powers of the Chester and West
Cheshire Junction Railway Company.
The CHAIRMAN said the only clause which con-
cerned this company was the running powers clause.
The bill was agreed to, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Monday at the offices, Westminster-cham-
bers, Victoria-street ; Mr. W. F. Maitland in the

chair.

Mr. Dean (tbe secretary) having read the notice
convening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN explained that they had to con-
sider two agreements, one for the working of the

that the London and North-Western Company

gross receipts for the goods and minerals carried,
and 40 per cent. of the gross receipts for passenger
traffic. The remainder would go to the Central
Wales Extension and the Neath and Brecon Com-
panies. The agreements would require the ap-
proval of the Board of Trade.
The Solicitor having read the heads of the agree-
ments,
The CHAIRMAN moved formal resolutions ap-
proving them.
Lieut.-Colonel F. BECRFORD WARDS seconded
the motion, which was carried unanimously, and
the proceedings terminated.

The Great Yarmouth Fish Wharves and Tramways Bill
was read a third time and passed.
LONDON GAS BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,

Mr. AYRTON moved that the third reading be post-
poned for a fortnight, or until the evidence taken before
the committee was printed and in the hands of members,
who would then have an opportunity of judging of the
merits of the bill.

Alderman. LUSK supported the proposition.
Mr. DODSON said the bill was one simply for raising
additional capital, and that being the case it would be un-
fair to object to the third reading of the bill, especially as
it passed through committee as an unopposed bill.
The motion was then withdrawn, and the bill read a

CENTRAL WALES EXTENSION.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Monday at the offices, Westminster-cham-
bers, Victoria-street i Mr. W. F. Maitland in the
chair.

Mr. Dean (the secretary) having read the notice
convening the meeting,

The CHAIRMAN explained that they had to con-
sider two agreements, one for the working of the
railway by the London and North-Western Com-
pany, and the other for the working of the Neath
and Brecon Railway. The agreements provided
that the London and North-Western Company
should work both lines, taking 50 per cent. of the
gross receipts for the goods and minerals carried,
and 40 per cent. of the gross receipts for passenger
traffic. The remainder would go to the Central
Wales Extension and the Neath and Brecon Com-
panies. The agreements would require the ap-
proval of the Board of Trade.
The Solicitor having read the heads of the agree-
ments,

The CHAIRMAN moved formal resolutions ap-
proving them.
Lieut.-Colonel F. BECKFORD WARDE seconded
the motion, which was carried unanimously, and
the proceedings terminated.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD & LINCOLNSHIRE.

The total expenses of this company's railways and
canals, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from Jan.
1 to May 20,1866, amounted to £197,548, as against
£172,337 for the corresponding period of 1866. The
proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing
to this company from Jan. 1 to May 20 amounted
to £15,190, as against £14,047 for the correspond-
ing period of 1865, and the expenses to £8,844 as
against £7,170.
London, England, 1866-05-30

HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

Mr. PEASE asked the President of the Boaid of Trade
whether her Majesty's Government proposed to take any
action in the construction of harbours of refuge, having
special reference to the report of the commissioners on har-
bours of refuge, 1859, and to the annual returns of wrecks
presented to this house?
Mr. M. GIBSON said Government did not propose to
take any course different.to that already pursued with re-
spect to harbours of refuge. Money had been advanced
for the improvement of various harbours, which it was ex-
pected would fulfil the object of harbours of refuge. The
Wreck Register, he thought, did not show that any great
number of these wrecks was to be attributable to the want
of harbours of refuge.
OYSTER FISHERIES.

Mr. H. SEYMOITR asked the President of the Board of
Trade if it was his intention to introduce this year a bil
to afford more adequate protection to oyster fisheries ?

Mr. M. GIBSON said such was his intention.
THE BELLEROPHON.
Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether it was true, as reported, that the Bellerophon, with
only six guns on board, out of her complement of 14, was
18 inches below her proper and estimated draught of
-water ?

---
Mr. BARING said such a statement was quite un-
founded. On the contrary, the ship with her full comple-
ment of glllll5 on board, came down to within half an inch
of her given draught.
THE REFORM BILL.

_
Col. C. LINDSAY asked the Chancellor of the Ezelle-
quer whether, in the event of the Redistribution of Seats
Bill becoming law, he would make the constituency of
Abingdon the principal town of the proposed new Elec-
toral boroughs, considering that Abingdon was the central
town of the proposed group, the county town of Berkshire,
and possessing a borough-proper population more than
double that of the borough-proper populations of either of
the two boroughs included in the same group.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
hen. gentleman seemed to think the Government had a
°,,serr ?tion in the matter ; such was not the case. The pro-
13etime to fix upon the central town of any particular
group
would be in committee on the bill.
London, England, 1866-05-30

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN.

The traffic receipts on this company's lines, 507
miles in length, for the month of April amounted to
$133,510, or £22,251, for passengers, mails, &c.,
and t0*5261,023, or £43,505, for freight ; total,

$394,533, or £65,756, v. $343,408, or £49,000, in
April, 1865, and $181,034, or £22,630, for April,
1864. The sterling money was calculated at the
exchanges of the respective dates.

Scotch houses were buying limited quantities of
fancy goods, and this was the only department in
which there was animation. Makers of these goods
are kept fully employed, and the whole industry of
the town and neighbourhood is likely for a time to
be well sustained, as a large Government order will
be competed for in a few days, which will require
some lengthy operations before it can be completed.
The demand for common Yorkshire woollens is as
flat as it was ever known to be ; and wool is only
brought to meet immediate requirements, though the
languid nature of the demand does not shake prices.

Seventeen hundred signatures are attached to the

Cossham to come forward for Nottingham, and his
lordship is expected in the town to-night to be pre-
sent at a meeting of the requisitionists and other
Liberals, convened by circular. It is now certain
that his lordship will allow himself to be put for-
ward as a candidate. Mr. Sergeant Simon ad-
dressed a meeting of the electors and non-electors
on Saturday evening, and in the course of a long
address said he was disconnected with any party in
the town ; he was brought to Nottingham by none
but himself ; he stood before the constituency sim-
ply and solely as an independent candidate. Being

PARLIAMENTARY OATHS.

Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether it was the intention of the Government, now that
the oaths hitherto taken by members of Parliament had
been replaced by a simple and uniform math, to introduce
a bill in the present session to substitute a similar form of
oath for that now required to be taken by all persons ac-
cepting municipal or other offices in Ireland.
AMENDMENT OF THE POOR LAWS.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the President of the Poor Law
Board if the proposed measures for amending the adminis-

tration of the Poor Law Board in the Metropolis would
give proper controlling power to the Poor Law Board over
the parishes at present governed under local acts ; whe-
ther it would abolish the election of guardians for life;
and if he knew whether the guardians of Clerkenwell
had discontinued that ill-treatment of paupers which had
been repeatedly commented on in the public press.
Mr. VILLIERS said a measure would be shortly laid
before the house with a view, as far as possible, of embody-
ing the recommendations of the commission that had re-
ported on the subject. The guardians of Clerkenwell had
greatly improved the accommodation afforded to casual
paupers.

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the Government did not at
present propose a bill, but they did intend to appoint a
commission to inquire into all oaths taken by the holders
of municipal and other officers.

OATHS OF MEMBERS.

Sir G. GREY moved the following :—" That mem-
bers may take and subscribe the oath required by law, at
any time during the sitting of the house, before the
orders, of the day; and notices of motions have been en-
tered upon, or after they have been disposed of ; but no
debate or business shall be interrupted for that purpose.
That the standing order of the 15th day of August, 1860,
relative to the swearing of persons professsing the Jewish
religion, be read and repealed."
The motion was agreed to.
