The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on the
extraordinary estimates for Algeria was brought to a close
on Thursday, and the amount proposed by the Government
agreed to by a majority of 189 to 39. Attempts were made
by several Members to cast blame on the Foreign Minister,
as well as England, for the failure of General DE LA RUE'S
negotiations with the Emperor of MOROCCO, but they com-
pletely failed. The Chamber listened to the speakers with
the most provoking indifference, and seemed to approve of
the following just rebuke administered to these disturbers of
public peace by the Minister of the Interior, M. DUCHATEL:
—" Let not those who protest their desire of preserving
amicable relations with England as essential to the peace of
the world affect to believe, in,,the face of irrefragable proof to
the contrary, that our quarrels with Tunis and Morocco
sprung from the commercial resentment and suspicious in-
trigue of England. If it was true, you ought to feel
regret at being obliged to say so ; but when it is not
so, it is not by casting seeds of discord between the
two nations that you render a service to your country."
Marshal SOULT replied in somewhat the same style to those
who blamed the expedition against the Kabyles, and said
though due attention had been paid to the opinion of the
Committee who had pronoucced the expedition unreasonable,
imprudent, and impolitic, the Government still would con-
sider itself at liberty to reduce the Kabyles when it might
think expedient. The Bill for the conversion of the Five
per Cents. was brought forward in the Chamber of Peers,
when M. LACAVE:LAPIAGNE, the Finance Minister, took
the first opportunity of protesting against the report of the
Committee, which described the proposed measure as unjust.
He had expected to be called upon merely to give
explanations on secondary points, while he found himself
compelled to defend the principle and the undoubted right of
the State. He then ;proceeded to give financial details re-
specting Government loans, and the conditions on which
they were made, and contended that in no case could any
sufficient grounds be discovered for contesting the right of
the State to reimburse the national creditors, should such a
course be deemed requisite. The KING returned from Fon-
tainbleau to Neuilly on Wednesday. According to accounts
entitled to credit, the French Court had received an official
announcement that the Queen of ENGLAND would not visit
France this season.

The following are miscellaneous extractsfrom the papers :

A letter from Warsaw announces the arrival of the Emperor
of Russia in that city on the 10th instant. His Majesty intended,
it was said, remaining there until the 25th, when he purposed
proceeding on his tour of inspection through the other provinces
of the empire. The same letter states that the Grand Duchess
Helene and her daughters, the Grand Duchesses Marie and Cathe-
rine, had left Warsaw the previous day for Germany.
A letter from Christiana: (Norway) says :—" The Odelsthing
(the principal section of the Storthing) has just adopted the follow.
ing resolutions respecting freedom of religion. All sects of Chris-
tians may freely exercise their own forms of worship. In mixed
marriages, the education of the children shall be left to the will of
the parents. In cases of conversion from one sect to another no other
consequences shall ensue. It is expected that the Lagthing
(another of the sections) will adopt these resolutions. There are
four sects in Norway—the Roman Catholics, the Lutherans, the
Episcopalians, and the Quakers."

The following from Athens, 10th inst„ is given by the Jugs.
burgh Gazette :—" Derben Aga Hadji, Houssein of Roumelia, has
had an interview on the frontier with Constantine Doukas, Go-
vernor of Lamia,
,for the purpose of exchanging assurances of a
good understanding between the two countries. The two func-
tionaries visited each other's quarters, and parted with mutual
expression of esteem."

CHARGE OF WiLruL MURDER.—DanieI John
Cock, a waiter, was brought up for final examination at Clerkenwell
yesterday, charged with the wilful murder of Hannah Moore, and
was fully committed for trial.
THE THOUSAND MILES MATCH.—The eleventh
day has now passed over since Thompson, of Warrington, com-
menced his extraordinary undertaking to walk one thousand miles
in one thousand consecutive hours; and, judging from appearance,
he is now almost as fresh as when he commenced his task. A ru-
mour got curroncy a day or two ago that his feet had begun to fail
him, but there appears, upon inquiry, not to be the slightest grounds
for such a supposition.—Hull Advertiser.
INSTITUTION FOR DISEASES OF THE EAR.—A ball
in aid of the funds of this useful institution was given on Thursday
evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms, and there was so numerous
an attendance of friends that It may be presumed the object in view
was tally realised.

RAILWAY COMMITITES.
mug DAY.)

GROUP DD.

THE CLYDESDALE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The Committee re-assembled this morning at the of
eleven, and were remonstrated with by Mr. Tidior, who consi-
dered it a great cruelty en Cal Use) for a single Committee to meet
at eleven. El t Was in a measure precluded from obtaining that
Infotmation which was necessary for the protecting the interests of
his clients. He had on a former occasion, is another Committee-
room, protested against the practice, and had protested success..
fully; and he could not refrain from expressing his surprise that
the Chairman of the present Committee, being himself a member
of the legal profession, should countenance a practice so disagree-
obi. to Counsel.

The CHAIRMAN said that it was compulsory on the Committee to
perform certain public duties, frequently at great inconvenience to
themselves, and an early hour was ttexsfary to ho fixed for the
purpose of obtaining sufficient time to go through the business be-
fore them.

Mr. TALuoT resumed the examination of Mr. Pare on the traffic
tables. He considered that the coal traffic from Dundyvan ought
to be reckoned on, ard only half of that coming from Cairnbrows
and Calder. The tables had been calculated on the supposition
that the mineral produce would be carried to the harbour at Glas-
gow by the railway, and that no cartage would be necessary; but
if the railway slid not extend as far as the harbour, it would follow
that cartage would be needed. If the minerals were brought to a
station not on the Clyde side, an additional expense of 41V. for
Cartage would be incurred.
Mr. Landells was then examined as to the mineral traffic on the
Motherwell branch. A slight sinking existed in the large coal
field of Lanarkshire, but it was generally easy of working, and
tolerably free from water. Lanarkshire presented more facilities
for the sinking of shafts than any other coal district in Scotland,
and a shaft 1:,0 feet in depth might be sunk there at no greater
expense than would be required to make a shaft of 40 feet else-
where. Splint and soft coal were found in considerable quantities.
The splint coal was generally used in the iron works. The coal
would be transmitted by the Motherwell branch—one portion of it
to the iron works, and another to Glasgow fur shipment. The soft
coal would go entirely to Glasgow for consumption and exportation.
The making of the branch would be greatly to the advantage of
Glasgow, as well as to the Railway Company.
Mr. Williamson concurred entirely in the evidence tendered by
the last witness.

Mr. Carrick, superintendent of the streets of Glasgow, deposed
that there were 420 tons of coals, and 714 tons of iron carted daily
from the basin of the Monkland Canal to the harbour for exporta-
tion. From the cast on the line of the proposed branch 315 tons
of coals were carted daily to the Broomelaw, and about 70 tens of
pig iron. He considered that about 1,2001. would be saved an-
nually in Glasgow from the wear of the streets, occasioned by the
numerous carts, if the railway were made.

Mr. Errington, civil engineer, said that he had a general ac-
quaintance with the country through which the line would pass,
and he had prepared the plans and sections. He originally laid
down the line in 1839, and the plans and sections had been de-
posited for that portion of the line towards Hamilton, and it was,
in his opinion, the best that could be made between Glasgow and
Hamilton. The new portion of the line commenced at a certain
point on the Polloc and Govan Railway. The rails of the Polloc
line did not at present extend as far as the quays
at Glasgow. The branch to connect the Polloc Railway
with the terminus of the Ayr line is 37 chains in length, and the
steepest gradient would be 1 in 100. The total length of the Polloc
and Govan Railway is 2 miles 37 chains ; that existing is well
adapted for the purposes of the Clydesdale Junction, as there are
no extensive curves on it. From the point at Rutherglen, the
main line commences and passes by the Glasgow turnpike-road,
proceeding as far as Park.tarm, where the line diverges into two
branches, one of which continues on to Motherwell, and the other
to Hamilton. The terminus at Hamilton is well placed at a short
distance from the county buildings, in so convenient a manner,
that the line could at any future period be carried forward without
in any degree interfering with the buildings in the town.
