THE EDINEUZGH AND NORTHERN

RAILWAY.

The Committee met again Ibis morning at twelve o'clock, in
room No. 7, Lord Ashley in the chair. The evidence for the pre,
amble of the Bill was resumed.

Mr. James Wright examined by Mr. Sergeant BeLtasts
Is manager to the Duke of Buccleuch's collieries. Had
examined the mineral fields of Fife, and went over the line of
railway then under consideration. It passes through extensive
coal districts in Fifeshire. The annual exportation of coals into
Perth is 33,000 tons, and out of this quantity 23,000 come into
England. By the construction of this railway the cost of carriage
from the Fife coal-pits into Perth will be reduced about 7s. per ton.
The yearly income derived by this traffic along the line would be
7,906/. ss. The income from the line would be 2,3451. 10s. Bd.
Mr. James Wright examined by Mr. AYTON—The distance be.
tween the Lodigdly coal-pits and the line of proposed railway is
seven miles, and the road between the two points is good. If the
railway were to be constructed Perth would have its supply of
coals from Fifeshire.

Mr. William Marshall examined by Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS—
Resides at Leith, and has a full knowledge of the trade of that
placo and the north of Scotland. Employed toll.keepers to
learn the amount of traffic passing this line of rail-
way. On one part of the line there are three coaches
daily. From Queensferry to Perth there are two coaches daily.
The number of passengers carried through Fife is 18,471 annually,
and through Queensferry 2,088. The total number car-
ried along the line, by public and private conveyances is
669,873 annually. One-half of the number would be
carried by the railway in preference to sea voyage. The total
income from traffic of goods and passengers will be 69,0411. The
railway will most undoubtedly be of great public advantage; it
will open up traffic which has now no means of conveyance but by
a long and circuitous route, most expensive and unfavourable to
the traders.

At this point of the inquiry the Committee adjourned till twelve
o'clock on Monday.

GROUP L.

GUILDFORD, CHICHESTER, AND PORTS.

MOUTH RAXLWAY.

The Committee assemb,ed at twelve o'clock, Mr. E. B. Denison
in the chair, and resumed the inquiry on this railway, when Mr.
Sergeant TALFOURD, who appeared for the committee of the in.
habitants, called:
Mr. T. L. Atkins, a banker, at Portsmouth, who stated that he

had moved the first resolution at the meeting on the 7th of May,
of which much has been said. About 1,000 was the attendance at
that meeting, and the resolutions had been carried almost unani-
mously, and a great feeling had been manifested against the South
Western Compauy and in favour of the Atmospheric line. This
feeling partly arose from the detention at Bishopstoke
after the Southampton train had been detached. An
impression has arisen that if the South-Western
secured the rnmopoly, Southampton would get the
greater part of the traffic. In the bills published by the South.
Western Company, they announced that the packets for Lyming-
ton, Yarmouth, Plymouth, and Havre started from South-
ampton, although the packets also touched at Portsmouth, of
which no mention whatever was made. In his opinion the
terminus at London bridge would be more convenient than
that at Nine Elms or at Vauxhall. The terminus
at Portsmouth of the atmospheric line was also better than the
other. All parties were united at Portsmouth in favour of the
atmospheric line, and there was certainly a great jealousy of the
pox t of oouthampwri.
To the cross-examination of Mr. GURNEY, Mr. Atkins stated
that there had been considerable excitement at the meeting, and
great difficulty had been experienced by the speakers on the side
of the Guildford line in getting ga hearing. He had not
heard that there were books at the stations for the entrance of com-
plaints, and he had not thought of writing to the Directors. The
Ravre packets only stopped at the mouth of the harbour, and did

not come up to the pier, and apparently it was to the interest of the
South-Western Company to carry the passengers to Portsmouth
rather than to Southampton, in consequence of the greater fares.
He testified that a great body of the passengers to the Isle of Wight
went to and from the west-end of London.

To the re-examination of Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, Mr. Atkins
replied that the coaches which went to the West-end had also
branch coaches, or went direct to the City after calling at the
West-end.

To the inquiries of Lord CLIVE, Mr. Atkins replied that though
the feeling of jealousy of Southampton was exaggerated, yet that
there was certainly cause for it, and he did not think that there
was so much attention shown to the interests of Portsmouth as to
those of Southampton.
To the inquiries of Mr. MONCILTON MILNES, Mr. Atkins re-
plied that the indisposition to support the South-Western Company
arose from the little inclination hitherto exhibited by that Company
to oblige Portsmouth.

To the inquiries of Mr. OSWALD, the witness stated that in his
opinion Portsmouth would be placed on a par with Southampton,
if a line were to be made which would bring the former place within
the same distance and time as the latter.

To the inquiries of the CnAla➢tlN—Mr. Atkins stated, that he
was aware that the proposed line by Guildford would be shorter
than the line to Gosport by eighteen or twenty miles, and would
bring back the traffic to Rydc, but he did not think that the
South-Western Company would give so fair a chance to Ports-
mouth as to Southampton. The first object of the people of
Portsmouth was an independent line, but their chief objects were
expedition and economy.
Captain Saar, formerly in the army, but now retired on full pay,
and a wine-merchant at Portsmouth—Was well acquainted with
both lines, and believed that the advantages derived from the
direct line would be greater than from the other, and cer-
tainly the proposition of the atmospheric line was very
enthusiast cally received at the meeting on the 7th
of May at Portsmouth. The general opinion was in favour of the
Atmospheric line, and the terminus of that line would be most ad-
vantageous for the town.

From the cross-examination of Mr. GURNEY, it appeared that
the mileage charge to Gosport was less than that to Southampton,
and the charge for the carriage of goods to Gosport was the same as
to Southampton, although the distance was greater, but
yet he thought that business had been Impeded.
Mr. R. Gibbon, a merchant and general shipping agent, residing
at Portsmouth, stated that his firm paid Bs. 6d. a ton for goods
more than they did at the docks at Southampton. The terminus at
London.bridge, as well as that at Portsmouth, for the atmospheric
line was the best for the town. The Mediterranean packets
lay in quarantine at the Motherbank, which was about
five miles from Portsmouth, and fourteen from Southampton at
high water, and two miles farther when the sands were bare.
Many passengers landed from the Oriental at the Motherbank this
week, and had left Portsmouth before the other passengers
reached Southampton. In his opinion it would save two hours to
the West India packets and the Government packets, if they stopped
at the Motherbank. There were three American packets out and
three home every week. About fifty large East Indiamen called
at Portsmouth yearly and about twelve Madeira packets.
From the cross-examination of Mr. GURNEY, it appeared
that the extra charge of eight shillings and sixpence a ton
arose from a charge of 2s. 6d. for unloading and Ss. for cartage
from Gosport. The delay of which he complained was the refusal
of the Company to let hie firm have their goods before
ten o'clock in the morning. They paid six shillings for
cartage of goods from the City to Nine-elms, ani he was
not aware the Oriental Company had fifty tons a week by
water, but they were of a different quality, being shipped to China
and the Uni.ed States. He had been on the Committee of the
Town Council, appointed to communicate with the South- Western
Company, and he believed that the answer was, that the Company
were ready to be bound to make the transit in every way as speedy
and efficient as to Southampton, and subject to such regulations as
the Board of Trade might impose. To the requirement of the Town
Council, that the journey should be performed in the same time
as to Southamptom, the distance: being: two miles more, the
Company had replied that they would be bound to work the line
fairly, and without any favour to the one town or the other. At
the meeting on the 7th of May, tour out of the number (nine) on
the Committee had resigned, but three others had since been ap-
pointed ; but no communication had been had with the South.
Western Company since the report of the Committee had been
made to the Council.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said that he should now decline to call
any further witnesses from Portsmouth. but he wished to correct a
misrepresentation which appeared to have arisen from what he had
dropped in his observations yesterday. It had been supposed that
the people of Portsmouth had desired that, in the event
of the atmospheric line being refused, the House would pause
before they adopted any line, whereas what he had said was, that
in the event of the atmospheric line being refused, they hoped the
House would pause before they adopted the Guildford line.
To the inquiries of Lord CLIVE, the witness stated that the
extra charge of Ss. 6d. a ton on goods was merely imposed on ex-
port goods. The chief object of their communication with the
South-Western Company had been to obviate the stoppages at
Bishopstoke, Chichester, and Portsmouth, and if they could obtain
a security that the goods sent to Portsmouth would be delivered
as soon as those sent to Southampton, the difficulty would be re-
moved.

Mr. RAWLINSON then rose to address the Committee on behalf
of the Corporation of Portsmouth, and said that he thought they
had acted rightly and wisely in their attempt to protect the interests
of the inhabitants. There was no doubt that Portsmouth was en-
titled to a line connecting the town with the metropolis, and the
question was, who was to make it? It would be recollected that
before the Southampton line had been completed an at-
tempt had been made to induce the South- Western Com-
pany to bring the line to Portsmouth, when it was replied to
them that they could come no nearer than Bishopstoke, which was
five miles from Portsmouth. The original intention of the South.
Western Company had been to go to Bath, and they had fought a
very severe battle with the Great Western Company in Parliament,
and had been defeated. They had, therefore, no right to rely on
the vested interest which they assumed from their Gosport line,
and had no ground to depend upon for an opposition to a
direct line going through an entirely different country, and they
had therefore no claim on the Committee. This Guild-
ford line was not put forward with a view to the
accommodation of the public, as had appeared by the evidence of
Mr, Chaplin; but when the atmospheric line had been proposed

..
,----.. ------"--
and
published, the South-Western Company cunt f,rward, at the
eleventh hour, to interfere with it. No doubt could possiblY be
entertained that the feeling of the inhabitants was unaninrously iit
favour of the direct line. Of all the witnesses called in
laerfl
c°
of the Guilford communication, one half had been strang
and those who were not, were not in a position :et
tknow anything of the trade of the port. With respect.,o
°fie termini, that of the atmospheric line took in, within a rtich't
half a mile, fully three.fourths of the borough, while Oa
