RAILWAYS.

On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, several
verbal amendments and alterations were made in the
standing orders of the House relating to railways.
Lord REDESDALE then moved, ou behalf of Lord
BROUGHAM, that a series of resolutions be added to the
standing orders, that Committees shsll have the puwer
of awarding costs to parties who opposed the construc-
tion of railways.

Lord MONMEA.GLE thought the provision would be
unjust util,ss rendered mutual, so as to prevent vexatious
opposition, as well as pertinacious promotion. •
The motion was then negatived without a division.
The bills on the table were then advanced a stage, and
the House adjourned till Two o'clock to-morrow (this
day).-

On the whale, the supply of Beasts on sale here was tole-
rably extensive as to numbers, but very deficient as to quality.
The few prime Scots offering sold at Monday's quotation. 4,
but all other breeds were very dull. We had on offer SO
Beasts and 100 Sheep from Holland, together with 200 Scots
from Aberdeen. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase,
owing to which the Mutton trade was heavy, at barely late
rates. In Lambs only a moderate business was transacted,
yet their currencies were supported. Calyes were a dull sale,
but not cheaper. Pigs moved off slowly, at our quotations.
Mitch Cows sold elowly, at from 161. to 191. each, including
their small calf.

BIRMINGHAM.

On Monday a meeting of the Town Council was held in
the Committee-room of the Towa Hall, for the
_purpose of
electing a Mayor in the room of Thomas Phillips, Esq., whose
year of office terminated this day. The usual preliminaries
having been gone through,
Mr. Councillor RODWAY proposed the re-election of Mr.
Phillips in a highly complimentary speech, in the course of
which he observed that he firmly believed nine•tentbs of the
burgesses were decidedly favourable to the re-election of the
present Mayor.—( Hear. )
Mr. Councillor MATCIIELL seconded the nomination.

Mr. Councillor Lucy proposed Mr. Henry Smith as a fit
and proper person to fill the office of Mayor, and took occa-
sion to advert to the well-known business habits of that gen-
tleman, and his general qualifications for the discharge of
the onerous duties which devolved upon the Chief Magistrate
of so important a borough as that of Birmingham.
Mr. Councillor PEMBERTON seconded the nomination of
Mr. Smith.

—The Council was, then addrtssed by several members of
the body, when it became evident that Mr. Phillips would be
re-elected. That gentleman, however, on putting the pro-
position to the meeting, said, he regretted that circum-
stances had recently occurred which would prevent him from
filling the office, and if re-elected, he should be obliged to
avail himielf of the privilege of the Municipal Act, and de-
cline the honour. Upon this announcement the Council
unanimously elected Mr. Smith.

SHOCKING SUlClDE.—Another proof of the direful
results which the preaching of such fanatics as Dealtry and
Burgess, who recently honoured this town with their pre-
sence, is calculated to produce upon the minds of the ere.-
dulous and ignorant, has, we regret to state, been afforded in
the suicide, at an early hour on Friday morning, of a woman
named. Netherton, the wife of an. ostler residing in Gibbons •
lane, in this borough. The, poor woman, it appeared, at-
tended the lectures of the worthies above•named, and fright-

PROSPECTUS.

This line is intended as a' connecting /ink between the Trent
Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead janction Rail-
ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market
Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfect the communication
between London, Chester, and Holyhead.
Though the rine will riot exceed thirteen miles in length, it will
afford immense accommodation to afi'impertant district of Stafford-
shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass and by means of
the lines with which it is intended to communicate, it will effect the
shortest possible route Prom London. to Liverpool, from London to
Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. - A saving of not less than
thirty miles will thus be accomplished.
It will thus become a most importhni adjunct to the proposed
Wolverhampton, Chester; and Birkenhead Junction Railway; but
the prominent feature in the • scheme is this—that by bringing
Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and
Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua-
tion Line to Holyhead, will be realised without.the enormous sacrifice
of time and capital inseparable front the. carrying out of such a
project, which, however, is impracticable. . •
It is obvious that such a .scheme will be of the utmost general
benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the capitals
of England and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the
great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment,
its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the following lines of railway will
be important tributaries to its revenue:—The London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Great Westent, Birmingham, Oxford and
Brighton, Birmingham ant Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Daley 'and Wolverhampton, Blr •
mingham, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways.
The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribu-
taries to it. •

Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of
the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Jrinction Railway, yet,
if it should be found expedient and practicable, the two Companies
may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol-
verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, will have the pre-
ference in the allotment.

It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the mating session, as
the plans and surveys are in a very-forward state.
