RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, when the further
consideration of the clauses of the Bill for this line of rai►way was

resumed.
The claim of Sir Thomas Darymple, which we referred to yes-
terday, was this morning settled by the introduction of a clause
into the Bill to protect his property.
Mr. AUSTIN requested the Committee, as they had given afa-
vourable opinion respecting the traffic on the Glasgow, Dumfries,
and Carlisle line, to accede to a resolution embodying that opinion.
The Committee refused the request of the Learned Gentleman,
and intimated they would express no opinion further than they had
done in the progress of the investigation.
The opposition of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company WaS ter-
minated by the Committee agreeing to certain clauses for the pro-
tection of the interests of the company.
The clauses of the Bill, with these additions, were then gone
into and agreed to.
TUB CLYDESDALE JUNCTION RAILWALY.
Mr. Hors opened the case on behalf of this line of railway,
which is to form one part of the forks of the Caledonian line to
the city of Glasgow. He went at length into the leading features of
the Bill, the particulars of which have already appeared, showing
the immense advantage it would confer on the district through
which it passed, in the conveyance of mineral traffic, indepen.
sently of the passengers that might reasonably be calculated on.
The only opponents to the Bill in its present stage, be stated, were
Mr. Graham, a landed proprietor on the line, who was not satisfied
with the compensation afforded, Mrs. Hamilton, of Bothwell park,
and the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway Company. The latter Com-
pany opposed them on the supposition that the present line would
take away from them a portion of their present traffic. HAVin com-
mented in detail on the various points which he intended to prove
in evidence, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to call his witnesses.
Mr. Black, baker, and member of the town council of Hamilton,
was called, to prove that in the present traffic between that town
and the city of Glasgow there were engaged no less than nine stage
coaches, making each two trips daily. He showed that the pro-
posed line would materially advantage the trade of Hamilton and
the agricultural interests of the surrounding districts; and parti-
cularly it would give an impetus to the trade in gas coal, which
even now employed from seventy to eighty horses and carts regu-
larly in taking that coal to Glasgow. The general interests of
the district required such a line as that under consideration.
Mr. Henderson, banker of Hamilton, corroborated the evidence
given by Mr. Black.
Mr. Orr, cashier of the Blantyre cotton-works on: the Clyde,
gave evidence respecting the amount of the traffic between that
establishment and Glasgow, the particulars of which have been
already published.
Mr. Wilson, of Dundyvon iron-works, was examined generally
respecting the mineral resources of the district, and in regard to
the amount of iron and coal that might be expected to be carried
along the Motherwell branch of the Clydesdale line. He re-
peated some facts respecting the large and increasing mineral
produce of that part of the country which have already been given
in the report of the evidence before the Commons' Committee.
Mr. Stewart, ironmaster, and Mr. Stretchbury, mineral surveyor,
were examined as to the mineral resources of the district ; at the
termination of which the Committee adjourned till Monday next
at eleven o'clock.
