spectacle that may be witnessed in our slaughter-houses, when the
butchers are felling the animals for the consumption of Paris. There,
at least, the life of man is not at stake, and the utility of the object
and its social necessity explain and justify the blood that is shed in
torrents. Is it forgotten that not long since Paris also had its com-
bats of bears and bulls ?--combats, however, without danger, and
which never caused the death of any man. Only the police had re-
moved to a barrier this ignoble spectacle, which, with the approba-
tion of every one; at last prohibited altogether. It is, therefore, 0

The domestic intelligence in these papers possesses little
interest. The Duke and Duchess of NEmourts left Pampe-
luna on the Bth, taking the old road, by which they went. The
Duke D'AUMALE, accompanied by the Duke San CARLOS, M.
OZEVEDO, and General JANIM, took the new road across the
valleys of Ulzama and Bastan, passing the two great moun-
tains of Belate and Maya, thus traversing the country in
which the most sanguinary battles between the Christinos
and the Carlists were fought, and where traces of them are
still to be seen in the villages. At Elizondo his Royal High-
ness was shown the house in which for two years Don CAR-
LOS established his head-quarters. It was formerly a royal
residence, and is still handsome. His Royal Highness ar-
rived at Enhoa, the first French village, at four o'clock, and
went to Espeleta, where he was received with every mark of
respect. This road being the shorter one, he overtook the
Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS, and their Royal High-
nesses re-entered Bayonne together in the evening. The

by the Secondaries for polling at elections.
The remainder of the sitting was occupied in handing in the over-
seers' lists, and other routine business.

FINSBURY.
Yesterday D. C. Moylam, Esq., one of e barrters appointed
by the Lord Chief Justice to revise the listth of votersis for the borough
of Finsbury, sat ibr that purpose in the Cotirt Of his Honour the
Vice-Chancellor of England in Lincoln'S Inn.
The officers of the respective parishes in the said borough in pur-
suance of the 6th Victoria, sec. 35, cap. 18, were in attendance.
As soon as the usual preliminaries had been gone through the busi-
ness for which the Court met was proceeded with,
The several parishes as they were called were asked by the Court
if there were any claims, objections, or alterations.
Among the claimants was a man named Medley, of the parish of
St. Luke, who claimed for two houses, each separately.
The Collar, however, decided that he could be allowed but one
vote only for both houses, or one, as he pleased.
Another individual named Watts, also of St. Luke's parish, claimed
to vote as a lodger, which was acceded to.

E A RMY.
FoaTieicATloxs azr Potersuotrru.—The engineers are very busy
strengthening the fortifications and defences of Portsmouth harbour.
The improvements at Blockhouse Fort are rapidly progressing, a
large number of men being now employed under contract for that
work. The fort is being made into a two-tier battery of 50 guns. The
lower tier is to mount 25 long 68-pounders, and the upper tier will
also mount 25 long guns, 32-pounders. At the northern part of Block-
house Point a ite% battery or circular fort is now being formed, which
is to mount six pieces of heavy ordnance, which will flank the en-
trance of the harbour. Between this new battery and the
Blockhouse Fort a new barrack is now of construc-
tion, which will contain the men necessary forcourse the service of these
Is co
tortsntemplated.. On the Portsmout
This Ishto side a very extensive new line of defence
extend from the Platform
Battery, and
will take in the site of ground now occupied by the
Semaphore, the
back of the Victoria Pier, the old naval landing place ; crossing the
extremity of the Town-wall, along the line of Sallyportwall, to the
Bound Tower at Capstan-square. Between Broad-street Point and
the two last-mentioned places stand a number of houses ; the ground
which they occupy being required for the fortifications, the Govern-
ment have, therefore, notified the same to the proprietors, in order
to their valuation; and the tenants have received notice to quit,
which implies that the work will be commenced very soon.
The lease of Chatham Lines, granted by the Board of Ordnance,
having nearly expired, it is the intention of the Board not to grant
any more leases, as the ground is to be used for the troops, as regards
field days and military drill.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

it was their wish to give *Vet,' sweosernodation to gwalding. The
Company iwl no desire to press unjustly as other aChetnes, but
would lay out a Tins which would benefit the whole district;
such a line as would entitle it to support from the peopLl of
Spaiditig.
Mr. Lacy, Chairman of the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and
Derehattl lines, observed that they wanted to extend their line
from WisbeaCli to Spalding, such at line as would enable them to
get rid of their agricultural commodities and obtain coals, salt,
and other articles of traffle. Crossing Sutton.bridge, centem.
plated by the East Coast Company, it would be morally impossible
to work the line with punctuality. What they wanted was a line
from Wisbech to Spalding. There was a shorter line to Norwich
by four miles, and which avoided the danger of crossing a bridge.
Sir W. FOLKES, a Director of the Nottingham, Erewash Am-
bergate, and Manchester Company, said he agreed with Mr. Lacy
as to the impra,:ticability of carrying the railway over the river
Nene, and he did not think the Admiralty would give consent
to the measure.

Mr. SWAN, Director of the Nottingham and Erewash line, spoke
in favour of. the amalgamated lines.
Mr. CAMPBELL, on behalf of Messrs. Johnston, Farquhar, and
Leech, solicitors, London, spoke in favour of the East Coast Rail-
way, and entered into a lengthened detail of Its history and pro-
gress. He admitted that their weak point consisted in stopping at
Spalding, and although he did not expect that the inhabitants of
that town would pass a resolution in favour of the East Coast line
from Lynn to Spalding, yet he thought it was entitled to their con.
sideration.

Mr. Burrzas proposed, and Mr. STILES secondea, a resolution
in favour of the Grand Union line.

To this an amendment was proposed and carried, to the effect
that any decision would be " premature," and a committee was
appointed to receive further information.
At a meeting of the inhabitants of Long Sutton, held on the
previous day, resolutions were passed in support of the Ely, Wis.
beach, and Lincolnshire Junction line, which proposes to run from
March to Wisbeach and Long Sutton,there to unite with any trunk
line, and recommending that an amalgamation of the East Coast
and Grand Union Compnnie3 ibould be effected, as likely to prove
advantageous to Long Sutton.

RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHESTER-
MELBOURNE, SATURDAY.--A meeting of the inhabitants of Mel-
bourne and its vicinity was held in the National School-room in
this town at five o'clock this evexing, for the purpose of meeting a
deputation from the country, and for discussing the merits of the
railway. Mr. Frederick Fox (Lord Melbourne's agent) was in the
chair. The Mayor of Derby and other gentlemen were present.
The CHAIRMAN stated that when the subject was mentioned by
him to Lord Melbourne, he at once gave his assent to the project,
irrespective of its running through his property, believing that it
would be of advantage to the town, the prosperity of which it
could not fail to increase. Melbourne had suffered much from the
want of a railway, and must soon, if they had not one, lose its
character as a small manufacturing town. After mature delibe.
ration, he had arrived at the conclusion that the proposed line
would restore its trade, and add greatly to the value of the town
and neighbourhood.

Mr. BREWER, the secretary to the Company, briefly explained
the nature of the project.
Mr. DOLMAN, surgeon, proposed a resolution, which was seconded
by Mr. HELMILEY, and carried unanimously, affirming the desir-
ableness of a line from Melbourne to Rugby, in connexion with
the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester.

The Mayor of Deane then briefly addressed the meeting in
support of the project, which he said would have the effect of
making Melbourne and Derby one town. After extolling the
liberal conduct of Lord Melbourne with respect to the line, he
concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was
carried unanimously.

After giving An enthusiastic cheer for Lord Melbourne, the
meeting separated.

WAYINEY VALLEY AND GAII•T YARMOUTII...-..A meeting of per.

ions interested in the fisheries of Great Yarmouth was held on

Wednesday. Mr. Benjamin Fenn took the chair, and expressed
an opinion that the Waveney line presented claims to the support
of the fish merchants of Yarmouth. By its means they would ob.
lain a much nearer approach to London, and have a local board of
direction. Another strong reason why they should support the
Waveney Valley line was, that it took a direction through a densely
populated district where they would find an extended market for
their produce. Mr. G. D. Palmer, Director of the Company, and
a large owner of fishing property, and Mr. F. Hammond, explained
the advantages of the line, and resolutions were passed in its favour,
as calculated to reduce the distance between Yarmouth and London
by twenty.four miles, and enable them to send the fish fresh to its
market.

DERRY AND GAINIBOROUGII.—MT. Cubitt has just reported upon
this line, and approves of the survey made by Mr. Bromley, and
recommends that an arrangement be come to between the Derby
and Gainsborough, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Great
Grimsby, relative to the portion of the line between East Retford
and Gainsborough, commencing at a point on the Midland Rail.
way, three miles north of Derby, near Little Eaton.
IMPORTANT RAILWAY AIiALGAMATIONS. —We learn from un-
doubted authority that the Great Grimsby, the Sheffield and Lin.
colnshire, and the East Lincolnshire Railways, on Thusday last
amalgamated at par with the Sheffield and Manchester Railway;
the last mentioned railway paying five per cent, on all calls upon
the three railways until they are made, which will be within two
years.—Leeds Mercury.
At the annual meeting of the Severn Commissioners, held last
week, Mr. J. S. Pakington, M.P., presiding, the report of the
Commissioners stated that the Great Western :and the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Companies had goaran-
teed the commission against loss to the extent of 14,0901. per
annum ; referred to the fact of the promoters of the South Wales
Railways having consented to a proposal of Mr. Cubitt to make a
new channel near the Hock Crib (twelve miles below Gloucester),
which would not only have improved the navigation if the Severn,
but have enabled the railway to cross the river without impeding
the navigation, and regretted that the Admiralty had prevented its
execution; averred the expediency and practicability of improving
the river between Gloucester and Bristol; and recommended the
re-appointment of the committee, with an instruction to them to
use their utmost: exertions to prevent any railway crossing the
river below Worcester.bridge otherwise than by open bridges.
HUDDERSPIRLD, HALM.; AND BRADFORD UNION.—At
meeting of the Executive Committee of this line, on Wednesday,
the memorial agreed upon by the Shareholders on the previous
Thursday, was presented, requesting them to proceed with the
issuing of scrip, and eventually the Committee decided that the
shares should be issued in the: name of the original Com-
pany, though in such a manner, it is understood, as not to admit
of their being sold or transferred.

The Midland Railway Company are, we understand, having the
electric telegraph laid down upon their lines between Rugby and
York, so that it will oily require the wires to be extended from
London to Rugby, and from York to Newcastle, Berwick, Edin.
burgh, and Glasgow, to make every event of importance known in
the capitals of either kingdom and their chief seats of commerce a
few reconds after its occurrence.

A meeting of the Proprietor; of the Regent's Canal Company
is to be held for the purpose of determining on the construction of
a railway on the line of the canal. Should the plan, as is probable,
be adopted, a great revolution will be effected in the existing om.
nibus traffic east and west of the City.
