FIRE AT RAGGETT'S HOTEL.

The shoring up of the walls had net up to Thursday night ben
completed ; nevertheless, portions of them were rendered sufficiently
secure to enable the firemen, under the direction of Mr. Braidwood,
the superintendent of the brigade, to enter the ruins, and, at the
urgent request of the family of Mrs. Round, to pursue their search,
in order, if possible, to discover her body, they, it is stated, being
impressed with the conviction that the remains, not identified before
the jury, were not hers. Twelve firemen were appointed for this
task, and did so for a considerable period, in the presence of Lord
Huntingdon, his brother, Captain Hastings, and two of the
sons of Mrs. Round. For several hours nothing was discovered
of any consequence, but about half-past one o'clock in the
afternoon, Fogo, the foreman of the brigade, who, together
with Lord Huntingdon and the butler of Mrs. Round, were
turning over some rubbish, observed the remains of one of the
Countess of Huntingdon's toilet boxes, containing jewels of the
value of 2501. ; although the case was nearly burnt to a cinder,
strange to say the jewels were but slightly injured. Encouraged
by this success, his Lordship increased his exertions in order to
find the more valuable case of jewels, which, however, was not
found. Up to six o'clock, a considerable number of diamonds
and other jewels were found, which were identified as belonging
to Mrs. Round.

During the afternoon the firemen succeeded in recovering the
large chest of plate belonging to Mr. King, and on that gentle.
man receiving information of the fact he attended for the purpose
of having it removed. At the moment, however, Mr. King was
about to do so, a person who gave his name as Mr. Abbott, of
Portsea House, Southampton, entered the ruins, accompanied by
a man who was said to be a sheriff's officer. He informed
Inspector Aggs that he was the landlord of the house, that
the deceased Mr. Raggett was his tenant, and owed him four
years' rent, amounting to the sum of 1,0001., and that every
article in the ruins belonged to him, as he had instituted legal
proceedings, and was prepared with a warrant to levy a distress on
everything that was contained in them. Under the circurn.
stances he prohibited the removal of the property said to belong to
Mr. King. Mr. Inspector Aggs immediately conveyed this infor-
mation to the Earl of Huntingdon and the family of Mrs. Round.
They immediately had an interview with Mr. Abbott, and urged
upon him to reconsider the step he was about to take. The result
was, that Mr. Abbott consented to permit Lord Huntingdon and
the relatives of Mrs. Round to retain what they had discovered,
and what they could find up to sunset, but refused to do so with
regard to Mr. King's plate, declaring that the legal proceedings
with respect to the ruins wouid be enforced after that period.
Respecting the fate of Mrs. Round, the facts which have been
hitherto elicited are, to the members of her family, exceedingly
unsatisfactory, and on this point our reporter had yesterday the
following communicated to him by the sons of that lady, derived
from their sister :—They state that Miss Round informs them that
she and her mother were in the act of sitting down to supper
when they heard the screams of " Fire." They went out of the
room together and looked over the bannisters, although, on
opening the room door, they were met by a great body of smoke.
I On going to the landing to see where it came from, Mrs.
Round went down the stairs one or two steps. They then
saw flames rushing up the stairs, and her mother screamed
and fell backwards on the landing. She tried all she could
to drag her mother back to their apartment, but was unable
to do so from the smoke, and seeing some men on the stairs she
made certain they would rescue her mother, and ran back herself.
Having remained in her apartment for a few seconds, and feeling
recovered, Miss Round determined to return to her mother, but on
re-opening the door, so rapid was the fire, that not only smoke but
a body of flame was on the staircase. She had in the interval
called the servant, who came out with her, and they were both
forced to retire to the apartment, where they remained until the
fire.escape came, and were saved. The impression, therefore, on
the mind of Miss
.Round is, that the fright of her mother at see-
ing the fire caused her to lose her senses, and never recovering
them, she perished. Lord Huntingdon, on being spoken to ye>. i
terday by Mrs. Round's sons on the subject, said he had an m.
pression that he passed that lady on the stairs when escaping from
the nurse's room with his son, and that she or some one else
touched him on the shouldor ; but had he stayed one instant his
own life would have fallen a sacrifice. The reason for Mrs. Round's
family believing that the body found by that of Mr. Raggett is not
hers, is that a quantity of unburnt black hair was found near the
spot, whereas Mrs. Round's was of a different colour.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A nu-
merous meeting of Middlesex justices assembled on Thursday at the
Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the dispatch of the general
business of the county, Mr. Pownall in the chair. The report of
the visiting justices of the House of Correction, together with
those of the chaplain and surgeon, were read. It appears that the
total number of prisoners confined in that gaol amounts to
709 males, and 29.5 females, all in good health, and attentive
and orderly in their conduct.
.It also stated that a new dietary
had been introduced on the 6th instant. After a few remarks by
some of the justices, the report was received. The report of the
visiting justices and of the various officers of Westminster Bride-
well was laid before the Court. It appeared to be highly satisfac-
tory, and was accordingly received The report of the visiting
justices of the New Prison stated that few punishments had taken
place, and that 117 were at present confined therein, namely 68
males, 33 females, and 16 children, all healthy, there being only
one in the infirmary. Their conduct appeared to be very satis-
factory, both as regards cleanliness and good order. The report
was received. Having disposed of some other routine business, the
meeting separated.

The examinat; ni of Mr. V Inoles as to t i t fe.reeef etlve engineering
merits of the competing lines was resumed by Mr. S,rge.int Shea.
He stated that it was intended that the wardens of Roehester-
bridge, and the Corporation should join with the Com-
pany in building the bridge, which would be much
mere commodious to the inhabitants and snore orna-
mental to the town then the present one, which was
not in a direct line with the tiain streets of Rochester and Stroud,
as was the old bridge, and le the new one is intended to be. The
clear way in the centre of the bridge would be IS feet above high-
water mark, being some feet higher than the present bridge. The
houses to be taken down to make way for the line are,
for the most part, in narrow back streets, and of little
value. The line would be carried on to Maidstone,
at comparatively small expense. At Chatham quays a new quay
wall would be built for a distance of nearly 900 yards, leaving a
space of 50 feet outside the railway. The Sauth.Eastere Com-
pany's plan was to cross the Medway at a lower level than he
intended, and this he considered a great oversight. With
respect to the powder-mills, he was satisfied that his line
would be too distant for them to allow tke least hazard of
damage from the sparks of the engine. Btsides,• that
" to make security more sure," he would provide shields of corru-
gated iron above and around the engine, in the form of a tunnel,
which would prevent the flying off of a single spark, and which
could be lighted if necessary. There would be but one level
crossing in the whole line. The distances on the whole line, and in
the principal divisions of the line, as from London to
Gravesend, to Sittiegbourne, to Sheerness, &c., were all in favour of
the North Kr nt. There was nothing in the proposed working
of the railway which could exclude the foreign traffic. The line
would not be at all a competing line with the North-Eastern, until
they got to Canterbury. The Nerth-Kent could nut pay at all
unless they gave the utmost possible accoannochtien at
the lowest possible rates, and dispatched trains very
often, from six o'clock in the morning till eleven at night.
The witness having further stated in detail the engineering pecu-
liarities of the two lines, was then examined as to the traffic. lie
calculated the passenger-tiaffic alone at 173,750/., and the cost
of purchase and construction at 1e249,680/. He had kneel) the
country all his die, and he had no doubt in the world that, by
following up the system of cheapness and accommodation to the
public which he proposed, the Company would be as prosperous as
any other of the same extent.
Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBURN—He had not included in his
estimate the cost of the several stations, which would amount to
about 100,0001 This would be raised by loan, under the powers
given in the Act. The branches to Blackwell and Sheerness had
been given up on account of the capital not being sufficient. With
respect to Woolwich-common, it had been arranged wi• h time Board
of Ordnance that the line across the common should be arched
over. This was not done through any apprehension of danger to
the passengers from the shell.rractice on the common, as the
railway would be beyond the range of the shell ; but to
secure the safety of the crowds who might congregate to see the
trains passing. The railway would pass close to the estate of Sir
Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, who was chairman of the Company. That
was at Welling. The population of Welling was one thousand.
Perhaps Sir I. L. Goldsmid might be the " Knight One thousand
and one."—(A laugh.)
Mr. COCKBURN—And for the one and not the thousand the rail.
way came.—(A laugh.) In going to 'Welling, the populous town of
Woolwich was left half a mile to the left. But that was done, not
to benefit Welling or Sir I. L. Goldsmid, but to comply with the
wishes of the Ordnance. In the arrangement finally come to with
the wardens of Rochester Bridge, Mr. Fearon and Mr. Nicholson,
on the part of the South-Eastern Company, conjoined with witness
and another, who represented the North Kent Company.
The cross—examination was continued to the rising of the Com-
mittee at four o'clock, but it referred altogether to minute details
of no very interesting character.
The Committee adjourned to twelve o'clock on Monday.

GROUP DD.

TIE CLYDESDALE, JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The Committee assembled this morning at half past eleven
o'clock, and soon after proceeded to the consideration of t'.e above
scheme.

Petitions in opposition to the construction of the proposed line
had been put in be the trustees of the Clyde Navigation, the barony
of Gorbals, the Paisley and Ardrossan Canal Company, the G as-
gow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Railway, the Paisley and Ayr Rail.
way, and by several private indiduals, who opposed as landowners.
Mr. COCKBURN opened the case by observing, that he would
proceed to state to the Committee the objects and advantages of the
railway for which he appeared. The scheme was entitled a Bill
for making a railway from the city and harbour of Glasgow, to
Hamilton, and to the Wishaw and Coltness Railway, at Mother-
well, to be called the Clydesdale Junction Railway. It was pro-
posed by this railway to connect the town and harbour of Glasgow
with Rutherglen, from thence it proceeded to a place called Park
Homestead, at which place the line divided into a fork, one branch
of which led to Hamilton, and the other to Motherwell. The ob.
ject of these two lines was threefold. One very important object
was to connect the Motherwell branch wish the main trunk line,
already brought before the Committee under the title of the Cale-
donian. The first advantage to which be would call the atten-
tion of the Committee was, that a railway communication would
be established between Hamilton and the left bank of the Clyde.
Secondly, a continuous route would be obtained between Glasgow
and Bothwell, and the parish of Dalziel ; and the third object to be
attained was to connect the Wishart and Coltness Railway and
Wilsontown with the city of Glasgow. The whole of these dis-
tricts are rich in minerals. From Glasgow, on the left bank of the
Clyde, to Hamilton, the line passed through a series of coal fields
and iron works. He felt sure the Committee would be satisfied
when they had heard from the witnesses the number of works and
collieries, and rich mineral fields that would be opened up if a railway
were made between them and Glasgow, It was of the highest im-
portance that a railway cimrnunicatinn should be established in
these districts. On the Motherwell branch. which led to the Dal-
ziel collieries, the entire district was extensively productive of mi-
nerals, and it was highly desirable that it should be connected with
Glasgow. The principal object of the Wilsontown and Morning.
side Railway had been to open up the various mineral
fields which it had traversed, but this object had not
yet been fully obtained, as it did not possess any comn unicatioa
with the harbour at Glasgow; but the Clydesdale Junction would
give it every facility, and afford another market for the constaul -
tion of the produce brought from the districts-through which the
Wilsontown Railway passed. The great advantage which would
arise from a communication with the river was entirely lost at pre-
sent, owing to the broken line of connexion. The beneficial effects
which would result from the construction of the line would not be
confined exclusively to Glasgow, but Paisley, Ayr, and the places
west of Glasgow would largely participate in the benefits to be derived,
and various markets for the disposal of their produce would be opened
up. He would say nothing about the engineering department, for
there were no difficulties whatever to be anticipated in the con-
struction of the railway. Beginning at Hamilton, the line at one
end approximated Motherwell, and at the other would unite at the
Park Farmstead, and run on to Rutherglen, at which place
it would proceed by an existing railway, called the Polloc
and Govan, to within 100 • yards of the harbour at Glasgow.
It was intended to purchase that railway, and the consent of the
trustees had already been obtained to the bargain. The railway
would then be carried down to the water's edge, where it was pro-
posed to carry on the line to conneet it with the Glasgow and
Paisley Railway. The estimated expense of the construction of the
entire works amounted to 290,0001. , to which must be added the cost
of the Polloc Railway, which was calculated at about 120,0001.;
and these sums added together would yield a total of 410,0001.
The present intention of the Company was to have only a
single line from the Forth at the Park Farmstead ; sufficient
land would, however, be taken for the purposes of the other
branch, which, when it suited the views of the Company, would
be constructed; and a clause having special reference to
this point had been inserted in the Bill, for the purpose
of enabling the Board of Trade to compel the making of the branch
line, should they consider it necessary. The Learned Counsel then
briefly referred to the opposition which had been instituted against
the Clydesdale line by several comeanies and private individuals,
and concluded by saying lie was certain that the Committee would
be satisfied as to the practicability of the line by the witne=ses who
would be called to tender evidence as to the great traffic of tha dis-
tricts which it passed through, and they would without d tilt allow
the preamble of the Bill to pass.
Mr. Cowan called Mr. Black, baker and grain dealer, Hannaon,
who was the first witness examined. He deposed as to the co..eh

traffic to and from Hamilton. There were ten tons of stonecar-
tied daily from the neighbourhood of Hamilton into Glasgow. He
had observed as many as 500 carts of fruit during the season tra-
velling on the. Hamilton road. He ground from 2,000 to 3,000 quar-
ters of wheat annually, and obtained it sometimes from Glasgow
and at other times from Edinl,urgh. The flour was distributed in
the neighbourhood of Hamilton.
Mr. Anderson, banker at Hamilton, tendered similar evidence,
Mr. Ferguson, merchant at Glasgow, and partner in the Blantyre
cotton.works belongineto Messrs. H. Monteith and Co.—He had
39,000 spindles and 530 power looms in his manufactory, which
were driven partly by steam power and p;.rtly by water, consisting
of two water mills of 130-horse power and one
steam engine of 70 horse power. The dye works
were also very considerable, and quantities of madder were used in
the process of dying. The number of hands employed about the
works was about 900, all of whom lived within the gates of the
manufactory. The population of the whole, including women and
children, residing within the gates, and who depended on the work
which was furnished them from the factory for their subsistence,
amounted to 1,600. The quantity of cotton dyed and manu-
factured last year was two thousand five hundred tons.
The cartage of the goods from Glasgow was contracted for at the
rate of 6s. 3d. per ton. If the railway w, re made, as it passed
close by the factory, the goods could be transmitted at a cheaper
rate.

Mr. Stewart, of Glasgow, said he was the proprietor of the iron
works at Shots, ar.d was well acquainted with the neighbourhood
all about Hamilton. The district was very populous,
and there were also extensive mi.ieral fields consisting
of coal and ironstone. It was his opinion that the making of the
railway between Glasgow and Hamilton would greatly tend to
open up and develop considerable traffic in those minerals. The
average annual production of pig iron from one furnace was
about 5,000 tons, but at present, with two furnaces, his works
produced 12,000. It was intended to increase the nnmber of
furnaces to four, and they would f.inish at least 25,000 tons each

year.
Alr a magistrate of Glasgow, and one of the proprietors
DWunilryn;an iron works, corroborated the previous testimony.
of
INI the
r.. Cunningham, one of the partners of the firm of Murray and
Cunningham, ironmasters, Glasgow, was next examined. He
said there were 30,000 tons of pig iron manufactured annually at
his works. The quantity of coal that was consumed in making
the iron was 75,000, and of limestone 11,000. The ironstone was
principally obtained from the fields in the vicinity of the works,
and lime stone came from a place called Bidla. The iron manu-
factured was chiefly intended for exportation, and was transmitted
thither for shipment to foreign parts. It was conveyed by
railway and then along the Monckland Canal into Glasgow.
He considered this an expensive and inconvenient mode
of conveyance, and if the Clydesdale line were made,
he would send his iron by it from the fork at 'Motherwell to

Glasgow, provided the expense of carriage were not greater than
the present mode of conveyance.

Mr. Streatchbery, mineral surveyor. was examined as to the
mineral fields along the Hamilton branch to Glasgow. Coal very
extensively abounded in the district, and supposing the seam to be
twenty. four feet deep on an area of one square mile, it would be
capable of yielding 18,694,000 tons. At the present moment the
produce was all conveyed by carts. It would be sent by railway if
possible in preference. There was a great deal of stone in the
neighbourhood of Hamilton, from which Hamilton Palace had
been built, and it was extensively used for ornamental as well
as building purposes. The mineral fields on the north of
the Clyde were very large, and as far as he went he found them
distributed along a distance of 21 miles.
On cross-examination, the witness said, that es regarded the
Motherwell branch, it was impossible to say how long it would be
before the mineral fields in that district could be worked.
Mr. Pare was next called—He stated he had superintended the
getting up of the traffic tables. He had derived his informa-
tion principally from the witnesses who had been examined,
and had accompanied their statements by actual observation. The
income to be derived from the passage traffic by coachca amounted
to 5,1961'; from travellers by post horses itid private carriages,
