DIRECT RAILWAY.
This Committee met to.day at eleven o'clock, Earl Spencer in
the chair, when the case on behalf of this line was resumed.
Mr. Rastrick, civil engineer, was examined as to the engineering
peculiarities of the line, which he represented to be generally
favourable, with the exception of a gradient of one iu 73. The
cuttings and embankments were of moderate extent, and would be
• easily executed at the estimates put in.
dr. P. M. otcw s.t, uneny deposed as to the necessity for
the proposed line.
This closed the case for the Bill, when
Mr. TALBOT rose to address the Committee against the
Bill, and on behalf of the Glasgow and Ayr Company. The
Learned Gentleman went at some length into the comparative
merits of the project for which he appeared against the tine the
Present Bill war intended to carry out. He contended that his
project would accommodate the greatest amount of local traffic,
while it wonid afford almost direct eommunication with the populous
town of Paisley, the important ports of Greenock and Port Glas..
gow, also Johnston, and the populous towns, harbour, an agricul-
tural districts of Ayrshire. The stations, he also maintained, at
both termini were better in his project than in that of the rival line,
the engineering features more favourable; while, being in connexion
with a well-established main line it would be better able to run
trains o ten, and to carry goods and passengers at a cheaper rate.
He also dwelt on the claims of the Glasgow and Ayrshire Company
to supply that district over any other interest, and showed that the
tolls and charges of that Company had always been such as to en-
title it to the favourable consideration of the Committee. The
Learned Gentleman, after going into the subject of the tolls and
the estimated traffic, both of which he contended were fixed far
too high, commented at same length on the ultimate objects of the
promoters of
.the Bill, which was to construct their line through
from Barrhead to Kilmarnock and Ayr, so as to
compete in a
ruinous manner with the line for which he appeared.He con-
cluded by calling on the Committee to reject the Bill. Mr. HILDTARD then replied on behalf of the promoters of the
Bill. He considered the line of the opposing party would he
rather an obstruction instead of an advantage to the public. His
Learned Friend had complained of c.an et'e , but it would be

The CHAIRMAN intimated that the preamble had been proved.
A short discussion then arose respecting a clause which the op-
posing petiiivished to introduce into the Bill, and to which the
Committee and the promoters had no objection, only there were
some doubts as to whetlafkit was not a money clause. It was,
however, arranged in thefAeantime, that the Bill be reported

ASYLUM FOR AGED AND DECAYED FREXMASONS.—
Pursuant to an order of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, in a
suit in which this charity is concerned, by Which it was re-
ferred to the Master to appoint trustees to the institution,
Master Dowdeswell on Wednesday approved of Lord South-
ampton, the Earl of Aboyne and Enzie, the Hon. Col. Anson,
M. P., B. B. Calsbell, E,q., and Dr. Crucefix, as such trustees.
We have authority to state that the works of the

ments for commencing operations.—Bury Post.
DOG STEALING. —CAUTION TO ADVERTISERS.—
On Thursday the Act of Parliament, which came into operation on
Monday last, when it received the royal assent, was printed, inti-
tuled "An Act for the further Prevention of Dog Stealing." It
is now provided that two or more justices, for a first offence of
dog-stealing, may either commit for a period not exceeding six
months to the common gaol or house of correction, or fine the
offender a sum not exceeding 201. above the value of the dog. Poe
,a second offence the party may be indicted, and suffer fine or im-
p, Isonment, or both, such imprisonment with or without hard
lab our, not to exceed eighteen months. Offbnders may be at once
app.'ehended without warrant, and taken before a magistrate. The
folio wing provision in the Act requires to be generally known:—
" AuLt be it enacted, that if any person shall publicly advertise, or
offer a reward for the return or recovery of any dog which shall
have been stolen or lost, and shall in such advertisement use any
words' purporting that no questions will be asked, or shall make
use of any words in any public advertisement purporting that a re-
ward u be given or paid for any dog which shall have been
stolen or Jost without seizing or making any inquiry after the per-
son prod acing such dog, every such person shall forfeit the sum of
251. for tw.ery such offence to any person who will sue for the same
by action of debt, to be recovered with full costs of suit."

concerned with others in a most desperate outrage and attack
upon the police-officers of the N division. Daniel Yard,
another athletic Irish labourer, was also charged with obstruct-
ing the officers in the execution of their duty.
It may be recollected that en Monday, the 7th of April last, a
dreadful riot took place in the Chalk-road, Islington, where a
man named John Wallen, a coalheaver, was nearly murdered by
some Irish labourers. On the interference of the police they
were attacked in a desperate manner by the party, and
Stoker, 262 N, was barbarously treated, and for a er,n-
siderable time he was in the hospital in a dangerous state.
Several of the rioters were apprehended at the time, and
being subsequently tried, were convicted and sentenced to
various terms of imprisonment. The prisoner, who was one
of the most active of the gang, escaped, but a re.
ward was granted for his apprehension. He eluded the vigilance
of the officers until Wednesday night last, when information
was received that he was concealed in a house in George-
court, Islington. Stoker, in whose possession the warrant was
placed for execution, made arrangements with other officers to
accompany him for that purpose ; and on Wednesday evening,
between nine and ten o'clock, Stoker, Sergeant Brennan,
Walker, Pearce, Collard, and Martin, repaired to the house in
George-court to make a capture of the prisoner. On their
arrival they found the house barricaded, the doors and windows
being fastened, he prisoner Burke, on being informed of the
appearance of the police, looked out of the window flourishing a
poker, and swore he would have the life of the first man who
dared attempt to apprehend him, exclaiming, " My name is
Burke." The officers procured a ladder for the purpose of en-
tering at the first-floor window, and at a given signal the officers
burst open the street-door, and rushed up stairs. Sergeant
Brennan went up the ladder to get in at the window, which he
had no sooner lifted up than a quantity of scalding water was
thrown into his face by Burke's wife, by which his sight was
so much affected that he has been ever since in great pair
and under me cal treatment. The primer Burke fought

THE 'UNWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM.
The report of the visiting justices of the above asylum was
read, and after a reference to the non-restrrint system
adopted there, the report proceeded to state that it was with
very great reluctance the visiting justices felt themselves
called upon to notice in terms of disapproval many of the
clauses in the Bill now before Parliament for the future re-
gulation of county lunatic asylums, and the case of pauper lu-
natics generally. The report proceeded to point out several
clauses, which, :in the opinion of the visiting justices, were
highly objectionable, as far as they applied to the management
of the County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell, and more particu-
larly to the power with which it was proposed to invest the
Commissioners of Lunacy.
After a long discussion, the report was received and adopted,
and a committee appointed to confer with Sir James Graham on
the subject.

Standing Orders Committee,—Resolution reported;
" That in the case of the IVinchester College Estate Bill,
the Standing Orders ought to be dispensed with :—That the
parties be permitted to proceed with their Bill."
Resolution agreed to.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday a fatal acci-
dent occurred in the London-road, near the Elephant and Castle, to
a young man named Henry Christmas, aged twenty-three years. It
appears that he was employed in watering the roads, and whilst
seated on the front of the cart, by some means he was jolted off
into the road, and fell beneath the near wheel of his loaded ve-
hicle, which passed over the lower part of his body. He was con.
veyed to Guy's Hospital, where he expired in a few hours after his
admission.
