GROUP Dll

THE CLYDESDALE SUISTCTION RAILWAY.
Mr. COCKBURN (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition
of yesterday)—One very important object was to connect
the Motherwell branch with the main trunk line, already
brought before the Committee under the title of the Cale-
donian. The first advantage to wh.ch he would call the atten-
tion of the Committee was, that a railway communication would
be established between Hamilton and the loft bank of the Clyde.
Secondly, a continuous route would be obtained between Glasgow
anti Bothwell, and the parish of Dalziel; and the third object tube
attained was to connect the \Vishart and Coltness Hallway and
Wilsontown with the city of Glasgow. The whole of these dis-
tricts are rich in minerals. From Glasgow, on the loft bank of the
Clyne, to Hamilton, the line passed through a series of coal fields
and iron works. He felt sure the Committee would be satisfied
when they had heard from the witnesses the number of works and
collieries. and rich mineral fields that would be opened
if arailway
were made between them and Glasgow,was of It the highest

GROUP 11.

This Committee met at twelve o'clock, by adjournment from the
22d instant. Viscount Barrington in the chair.

LANcasTEn AND c.araLxszz RAILWAY.

The preamble and the whole of the clauses (with one exception)
were passed at the previous sittings of the Committee, the only
cause of delay arising from a dispute pending between the Railway
and the Canal Companies, relative to a demand for compensation
by the latter body.

An arrangement hating been entered into by the two parties, sa-
,,factory to both, the Bill received the sanction of the Committee.
The only remaining projects comprised in this group were the
COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON
RAILWAY,

A short line, only 6 miles and 65 chains in length, proposed to
form a communication with the Whitehaven, ➢Saryport, and Car-
lisle Railways, and the projected

WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION
RAILWAY.

This line h 31 miles and 75 chains in length, and Mr. Stephen.
son, the engineer, stated that the estimated cost was 350,000/.
The country was tolerably level, and the construction of the line
presented no difficulties, there being no tunnelling, &c. The gra.
dients were very good.

One or two witnesses were examined, to prove the necessity for
the line in the neighbourhood through which it would pass.
No opposition was offered to either of the above projects, and,
consequently, the duties of the Committee were merely formal.
The Committee rose before four o'clock.
London, England, 1845-05-31

nunLxN AND KILKENNY nraLway.

The Committee went through the clauses of this Bill, IN hich
were agreed to, after some unimportant amendments, and the
Chairman instructed to report to the House.

DUBLIN, urExi-orm, 11ND CARLOW
RAILWAY.

The Committee then proceeded to the consideration of the
Dublin, Wexford, and Carlow Railway.
Messrs. Austin, Murphy, Talbot, Woofridge, and Martin, ap-
peared for the promoters. Mr. Alexander and Sir Walter Riddell
on behalf of the coast line from Dublin to Wexford and Wa_
terford.
Mr. AUSTIN opened the case on behalf of the Bill, and pointed
out with great clearness and ability the commercial and agi icul-
tural advantages which would result from this line, after which
he proceeded to call evidence in its behalf.
Mr. Leckey, a landowner in the county of Carlow, gave evidence
as to the general advantage which the line would confer on the
county of Carlow. The population of the county was 86,000 ;
that oft he I own about 10,000. The present conveyanoes between the
towns of Wexford and Carlow were very inadequate. The traffic
in agricultural produce and cattle was very great, and if the rail-
way was formed, there was no doubt but that it would be of immense
service in conveying these.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday.

GROUP CC.
CORX AND RAN DON RAILWAY.

The Committee met to day at the usual hour, and resumed the
examination of witnesses in behalf of this line.
The evidence adduced presented no feature of importance, and
at it: termination the Committee decided the preamble to be proved.
The clauses of the Bill were then gone into.
The remaining clauses of this Bill were gone through, and the
Chairman instructed to report it to the Douse.

SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERI-La.NX RAILWAY.
This Bill, which is to effect a junction of the Sheffield and
Rotherham with the Midland Counties Railway, was thin gone
into, and after a brief consideration of its merits, the Committee
adjourned.
London, England, 1845-05-31

ARTICLE V.

The treaties above-mentioned shall not have any other ob-
ject than the repression of the slave trade. If one of the said
treaties be concluded separately, by an officer of the British
Marine, the choice ( faeulte) of acceding to it shall be re-
served to his Majesty the King of the French, the same
choice shall be reserved to her Majesty the Queen •f Great
Britain in all the treaties which shall be concluded
by an officer of the French marine. In this case, where his
Majesty the King of the French and her Majesty the Queen
of Great Britain will both become parties in the conclusion of
said treaties, the requisite expenses for presents and similar
costs shall be supported by both nations.

- ARTICLE VI.
In case where for the execution of said treaties and con-
formity to the law of nations, the employment of force by land
or by sea shall become necessary, neither of the contracting
parties shall have recourse thereto without the consent and con-
currence of the oiler.

ARTICLE VII.
The moment the squadron of his Majesty the King of the
French shall be ready to commence operations upon the coast
of Africa, the King of the French will notify it to this Queen
of Great Britain, and the two contracting parties will make
known by a public declaration that the present convention is
upon the point of being put into execution.

The said declaration- ;rill be expedited whenever it will be
necessary (on besoin sera).
In the three following months the right of mutual search
established by the conventions of 1831 and In 3, shall cease to
be exercised, and the Commissioners' mandates delivered to the
cruisers of both nations shall respectively be retained restitut's.
ARTICLE, VIII.

Seeing that experience has proved ►,hat the slave-trade in
those parts where it is habitually exercised isoften accompanied
by deeds of a dangerous nature, for the tranquillity of the seas
and the safety of the flag, and, considering at the same
time that if the flag borne by a ship is prima fade the sign of
nationality of the ship, this presumption will not be regarded
as sufficient to prevent in all cases proceeding to its verification,
otherwise it would expose all flags to dishonouring abuses in
making them serve to cover piracy, the slave-trade, and all
other illicit traffic

In order to prevent all difficulty in the execution of the
present Convention, it is understood that instructions, founded
upon the law of nations, and upon the constant practice of
maritime powers, shall be addressed to the commanders of
squadrons and cruisers upon the coast of Africa. The two
Governments have, in consequence, c-nnmunicated to each
other the text of the said lust' uctions, which are annexed to
the present Convention.

my rights to the Crown, and transmitting them to you. Conse-

ABDICATION OF HIS MAJESTY CHARLES V. (DON
CARLOS).

" When Divine Providence called me to the throne of Spain at
the death of my well.beloved brother and lord, King Ferdinand
VII., confiding to me the safety of the monarchy and the hap-
piness of Spaniards, I saw in my new position a sacred duty, and,
penetrated with sentiments of Christian charity, and trusting in
God, I devoted my existence to that painful task. On a foreign
land as in the camp, in exile as at the head of my faithful sub-
jects, and even in the solitude of captivity, the peace of the
monarchy was my only wish, the object of my activity, and of my
perseverance. Everywhere the welfare of Spain has been dear to
me. I respected its rights. I did nut feel any ambition to be pos-
sessed cf power, and under such circumstances my conscience re-
mained tranquil.
" The voice of that conscience and the advice of my friends ap-
prise me at present, after so many efforts, attempts, and sufferings,
supported without success, for the happiness of Spain, that Divine
Providence does not reserve to me the power to accomplish the
task with which I was charged, and that the moment has arrived
to transmit that task to him whom the decrees of Heaven invite, as
they previously invited me. In renouncing at present for my
person the rights to the crown which the death of my brother,
King Ferdinand VII., accorded me—in transmitting these rights
to my eldest son, Charles Louis, Prince of the Asturias, and in
notifying this renunciation to the Spanish nation and Europe, by
the only means of which I can dispose, I discharge a debt of con.
science, and I retire to pass the remainder of my days removed
from every political occupation in domestic tranquillity, and with
the ;peace of a pure conscience, praying to God for the happiness
and the glory of my dear country.

EXTENSION BILL.

Mr. ALEXANDER said that the South-Eastern Company sought by
this Bill to obtainyower to widen a portion of the Greenwich line
in order to allow the Croydon line to cross it the more conveniently.
Mr. George Stephenson, civil engineer, spoke to the nature of the
proposed widening.
Mr. ALEXANDER stated that the extension proposed had been
abandoned, being opposed by the Government, on account of its
Interfering with Greenwich Park.
The CRAIEMAN declared the preamble of the Bill, as amended, to
be proved.
After a long discussion as to what course the Committee should
new pursue, it was decided to adjourn until to.morrow, that in the
mean time the Chairman might apply to have another Hon. Mem-
her appointed in the place of Mr. Roche (whose ill health would
prevent him from attending tomorrow) before any new part of the
subject should be entered into.
The Committee accordingly adjourned.

for 15 miles to 21d., and for 25 miles to 2d. ; the Com-
pany had also reduced the fares of passengers.

afford great accommodation to the public.

Mr. MAUNDER said that this was a Bill to enable the South-
Eastern Company to make a line from their works at Tunbridge to
Tunbridge Wells. The land was already purchased, and the greater
part of the line was already made, the only purpose of the Bill being
to legalise what had been done.

the above statements.

Mr. Atexygnse objected, on the ground that he, Mr. Cleasbey,

Bill should next be taken.

THORPE V. COLEMAN.

In this ease the declaration in substance stated that the
plaintiff had laid a bet of 101. upon the event of the Derby in
1844 • the defendant betting 101. that Campanero would win,
the plaintiff betting an equal sum that Orlando would win.
The defendant pleaded that the bet was illegal, and the plain-
tiff demurred to the plea. The demurrer was argued on the
10th of Amp, when Mr, Sergeant Bytes, for the plaintiff, con-
tended that a bet of 10/. upon a legal horse-race was recover-
able at law ; and Mr. Sergeant Channell insisted that, although
any sum less than 10/. might be so recovered, that amount
could not. The Court took time to consider its Judgment,
which was now pronounced by
Lord Chief-Justice Tfrin.at,, to the effect, that as this was
a bet for the punt 9f 10/., the Court, without expressing an
opinion on, and certainly without ha.ping the intention of
expressing any doubt as to the propriety of, the decision of the
Court of Exchequer in the case of " Applegarth v. Collyer,"
!P Meeson and Welshy, 723, thought that, on looking at the
provisions of the seorid @potion of the pal Anne! P. 14, this
action could not be maintained. By that section a person who
had voluntarily paid a bet of the value of 10/., made upon cer-
tain games, of which horse-racing was one, was entitled to sue
for and recover it back within three months then next : from
which the inferejsce was that an action to recover a het of that
value would not he, if the person losing should refuse to pay
it. It iviS obviously the • iotention of the Legislature that
the losd shonld' not ultirfiately lose, and that the' gainet

STANDING ORDERS.

On the motion of Mr. ESTCOURT, it was ordered
that during the remainder of the session the Select
Committee on Standing Orders have leave to sit and to
proceed to business with a quorum of three Members.
The HON. MEMBER also moved that during the re-
maineer of the session the Committee of Selection
should have leave to sit and to proceed to business with
a quorum of two Members.
Lord G. SOMERSET considered that two Metnbers
were not sufficient, for a quorum.
Mr. WILSON PATTI4.;N believed that nothing but
routine business would have to come before the Com-
mittee, and such being the case he did not see why
the motion should not be agreed to. He should there-
fore support the motion.
Sir G. CLERK thought that two members were too
small a quorum. _ _

The /notion was ultimately withdrawn. -
The Lords' amendments to the Exeter and Crediton
Railway Bill were agreed to.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD presented a petition
from 1,100 landowners of Roscard, in the county of
Down, against the Landlords and Tenants Bill, and in

WARM WEATHER.

NICOLL'S REGISTERED PALETOT,
6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 65, twenty paces north of Quadrant,
is well adapted over another coat for bad weather or evening wear,
and alone during the sunny days without.
The Registered Paletot is . prepared, and can only be made by
H. J. and D. NIG)LL, 114, Regent-street. The material is the cloth of
llama, which, in variety of colour, resembles superfine cloth, but
is lighter and softer in texture. Its neat yet not formal cut
gives freedom across the chest and shoulders, yet requires no
sacrifice 1n personal appearance for the sake of comfort ; indeed, a
more graceful bearing to the figure is the result.
" In the Registered Paletot there is a gentlemanly neatness, an
absence of all unseemly vulgarity. It has met with the highest ap-
probation in the Court circle."—See the Morning Post, April 19.
Price Two Guineas. The Paletot unlined is by Many of our patrons
surnamed " The Dnstah," Thirty Shillings. From its elastic softness,
it will readily fold into the small compass of the ordinary pocket.
Can be sent.:per post, to any part of Great Britain, for eighteen
stamps. Being inexpensive, not much grief follows, if, by accident,
exchanged in the hall, or left in a railway carriage. Its loss can be
supplied in nearly all the principal cities in the United Kingdom.
As only respectable firms are appointed agents for the- sale of
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, a. caution is, perhaps,, unnecessary,' as
being honoured by royal patronage, and its general popularity,
there are many who desire to imitate ; such, persons, it is need-
less t remark, cannot be respectable, but they are warned, that
by using the same name only, and though the garment itself may be
altogether ditibrent in its construction, yet they are suieject to.the
penalty, which will be enforced according to law.
