NOTTINGHAM AND LINCOLN LINE.

Mr. Henry Hawell, principal agent of the Canal Company at
Nottingham—The wharfs were exceedingly numerous on that por-
tion of the canal adjacent to the intended station, and he consi-
dered that the business of the canal could not be efficiently carried
out if the ground were absorbed by the construction of railway
buildings. There was great inconvenience felt from the circum-
stance of the waterway under the bridges being so circumactihed
that the boats could with difficulty pass, and it was intended to
widen both the water-way and the towing-path. The intended
mode of crossing the canal by the railway company would be a
most serious inconeenieno• to the per•en• ueltsg the canal.

Cross-examined by Mr. Woriasrow—The first inconvenience
arising from the construction of the railway bridge, would be the
narrowing of the canal; the second inconvenience because
it would prevent boats from lying there after they bad delivered
their cargo. The intended bridge would be superior to the canal
bridges already in existence.

PORMIGN.

The King and Royal Fami:y left the Tuileries on Wednesday
for the Palace at Neuilly, where they will take up their residence
fur some weeks.

The health of M. Guizot is so much improved, says the Presse,
that it is hoped he will be able to attend in his place in the Chain.
ber, and support his budget as Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The funeral of M. Cavaignac took place at Notre Dame de Lo-
retie on Wednesday. Bodies of National Guards, the students of
the schools, and a number of his political friends attended at the
ceremony.

Ali Effendi, Ambassador from the Sublime Porte to the Court of
London, arrived at Marseilles on the lit inst., and was to embark
on the 4th for Constantinople in the steamer the Orient. M.
Lessees, the French Consul at Barcelona, was also at Marseillts
on his way to his post.
The illness from which )1. Charles Laflitte has been for some
time suffering, is so far abated that his physicians hope to be able,
in a few days, to send him into the country to complete his conva-
lescence.

In reference to the grants for improving the harbours of Toulon
and Port Vendre, the 1' reuse asks—" Why is Havre overlooked,
when it is obvious that in the collision which appears the most im-
minent, that harbour would be the chief point menaced along the
coast ? In forty-eight hours an English fleet could born Havre,
annihilate the immense commercial riches accumulated there, and
ravage all the other towns on the coast of the Channel and the
Atlantic. And, nevertheless, a contingency so possible, and per.
haps so little remote, attracts no attention."
The Journal de Debuts announces the death, at Liancourt, in
the 90th year of hie age, of M. Ferry, a member of the National
Convention.

The Paris jourcals give the following comparative account of
accidents upon the Paris railroads, and those which took place
within a certain number of years, from diligences and other car.
riages :—" On the Corbeil Railroad there were conveyed,
between September 10, 1840, and June 10, 1843, 2,200,000 per.
sons, of whom only one was injured. On that of St. Germain
there were carried from August, 1837, to September, 1844.
upwards of 6,000,000 persons, of whom only one was killed.
In 1842, the proportion of wounded and bruised was not snore
than one in every 100,000. According to an official return of
the six Paris railways, the total length of which is upwards of 340
kilometres (65 leagues, or about 20ti miles), there ran from the Ist
January to the 30th June, 1843, no fewer than 18,466 trains,
carrying 1,689,718 passengers, who travelled over 510,215 kilo-
metres (about 127,554 leagues, or 308,935 miles), not a single
passenger was either killed or hurt. Three of the men employed
on the roads were the only ♦ictims." The total number of per-
sons killed by accidents from stage-coaches connected with Paris
during six years, ending 1840, was 74, and nearly 2,000 wounded.

Mr. COCKUURN examined this witness at some length without
materially affecting the main substance of the evidence given in
the examination in chief.

The CHAIRMAN wished a great discrepancy that existed between
the map before him, and the figures given by the witness respect-
ing the miles of the broad and narrow vase. corrected.
Either the witness or the map must be ♦ery much in error.
The witness made the number of miles of the narrow gauge much
more than the map, and the miles of the broad gauge considera-
bly less. He hoped this would be explained at the next sitting of
the Committee.

The Committee then adjourned till Wednesday next, at twelve
o'clock.

SELECT COMMITTEE FOR STANDING ORDERS.
(IRISH RAILWAYS.)

The Committee appointed by the House to inquire into the
Standing Orders in regard to their bearings on Irish Railway Bing.
commenced its sittings at twelve o'clock, in room No. 7, Sir Q.
Grey, Chairman. _

The proceedings were strictly private, but the effect of the evi-
dence adduced was to show the great dTficulty of promoters of
railway schemes in Ireland complying with the standing orders, irn
asmuch as the land tenure of that country was of such a character
as to make it almost a matter of imposibility in some cases to serve
notices on the proper parties. To a small patch of ground there
were, in many instances, five or six claimants as owners, and many
of them could not be heard of till after the period that notices were
allowed to be served.
The Committee adjourned their inquiry till Wednesday next.

A magnificent modelled Representation of EDINBURGH, the
Pride of Scotland and of Scotchmen, and the immortal Scott's " Ain
Romantic Town," introducing the Old and New Town, the Nor'
Loch, as it formerly existed, the Calton Hill, Nelson's 3fontiment,
Arthur's Scat, Salisbury Cragge, the Castle, Sir Walter Scott's Monu-
ment, the Royal institution, Holy-meet Palace, and all the most inter-
esting-features of " Auld Reekie."
The Proprietor had the hemour of submitting the Model to his
Royal Highness Prince-Albert, and he is delighted to say it met with
his most decide and perfect approval, and from the more than usual
care which has been observed in its execution, he points it out as the
happleit • production of Mr. Danson's pencil. The drawings were
made by Mr. Danson on the spot, and present a bird's-eye view of
the principal objects of the Old and New Town, the Firth of Forth, &c.
The PROMENADE CONCERTS, so decidedly popular at this
Establishment, will this season be on an unusually effective scale. Mr.
GODFREY has been occupied since the close of last summer, in com-
posing and arranging a varied and pleasing succession of superior
Noveltiets, which will be produced in rotation, including some-Ori-
ginal Pieces by Foreign Composers, not yet performed in this country.
At Dusk will take place the most extraordinary Exhibition of
FIREWORKS ever attempted. The entire of the Gigantic Model
will be Illuminated. The different devices in front of the houses, the
tires on the Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, and the surrounding Moun-
tains, the illumination of Nelson's Monument, and all the rejoicings
which took place on her Majesty's Visit will be accurately pour-
traved_ And, as a Finale, a grand Aquatic Reyal and Patriotic
Taitleam, Fifty Feet in Height, will be exhibited in the centre of the
Lake ! The Portraits of her Majesty and Prince Albert, surmounted
by Fame, and surrounded by emblems and ether devices will be in-
troduced. The Tableau designed and executed by Mr. Denson.
Mr. Sonthby has been occupied for months in giving effect to this
matchless and superb design, which combined with the Feux D'Arti-
fice„.the Salute and Discharge of Rockets from the Castle and sur-
rounding heights, will form the most brilliant Pyrotechnic Display
Eva Witnessed.

LITERATURE.

NAVAL AND MILITARY SKETCH BOOK.
The present number of this delightful periodical is
quite equal in interest and variety to any of its prede-
cessors. The illustrations increAse in beauty every
month. The view of the entrance to New York is a
perfect gem.

NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF MANUFACTURES.--We
mentioned some time ago that the committee of the Society of
Arts, Adelphi, proposed to establish an exhibition of the pro.
ducts of British industry. Besides the delight and instruction
which would be afforded, it may fairly be expected that
periodical competition of this nature will exert some beneficial
effect on the progress of the arts; not only by exciting
honourable rivalry in the producers, but by en-
abling the consumers better to appreciate real ex-
cellence. The present moment seems particularly
auspicious for making such an attempt. The triumphant suc-
cess of two especially British products, the railway anti the
locomotive, has so united the remotest parts of these islands,
that the exhibition, though taking place in the metropolis,
would be rendered available to all persons in all places ;
and would therefore be divested of much of that exclu-
siveness which might otherwise be objected to such
* scheme. Without entering into details, it may be
stated, that the plan embraces the exhibition not merely of pro-
ducts, but of the instruments of production in actual work—the
facility, rapidity, precision, and economy of the act of fabrica-
tion, being often much more wonderful than the fabric itself.
In carrying out these ideas, it is intended entirely to exclude all
private, personal, and political objects. It is hoped that the
plan may be preserved so free from objection on these points, as
to command the approbation of all ranks, and justify its pro-
moters in anticipating the highest patronage.— The Builder.
LOCMOTIVE LITERATURE.—III this "iron age" of
steam-beats and railroads, the " locomotive interest'' has a
class of literature entirely its own. Amongst the various pub-
lications of this class, there is one little unpretending yellow
book, put forth every month gratuitously by the General Steam
Navigation Company, which ought to be in the bands of every
one who leaves England for any other part of Europe. This
little monthly publication, in 32 pages, contains not only a list
of the times of departure, from the various ports, of the mighty
fleet now formed by the vessels of this important and most re-
gular Company, but also the departure of the Rhine steamers,
as well as a great mass of useful and indispensable information.
including a map of Central Europe, indicating the various rail-
roads and the track of , the several steam-vessels; the regula-
tions and charges for the conveyance of goods, bullion, parcels,
&c. ; the distances between the p, incipal continental cities and
towns, and their distance front London; instructions for ob-
taining passports; the reduction of En,7:ish money into the
various continental coins ; and a conderi,cd mass of other in-
formation, the possosioD of which is indespensably necessary to
the tourist.

petition, drew the attention of their Lordship; to the
case of the of in the Peninsula, who, after being
in sixteen engagements, were left without any other de •
coratiun than their wounds, while those who had served
at Waterloo, India, and China, had been decorated with
medals.

The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the battle
of SV4terloo was fought under peculiar circumstances—
it was the last of a series, and had produced peace. He
bore h:s testimony to the valour and good conduct of
the Peninsular army, but regretted that they should
have petitioned the House on this subject.
The M trcpsis of LONDONDERRY considered the prayer
of the petition Was unconstitutional.
The Duke of &rex-meat/ix thought that the prayer
of the petition should be granted.

MONEY MARKET.

Considerable tightness has of late been manifested, which wilt,
we fear, be increased as the time approaches for taking delivery of
the opium purchased on the 26th inst.
Government Securities have generally declined in ►a'ue, but
Bank Stock maintains former quotations.

Jute—We have heard of a few sales at Sr. per bale, but the
principal shipments continue on native account, and have been
going forward freely; shipping orders have, we understand, been
granted as low as 41. per ton, and in this case we think exports will
continue heavy for some time to come.

Hides, Horns, and Tips—Hides have, since our last, been dull of
sale, and prices have declined, especially for middling and inferior
qualities, of which the stocks are heavy ; nor do we at present see
any prospect of improvement. Shipments, however, show no
falling off. Buffalo horns have been in extensive demand for dun-
nage, but, although shipments have been heavy, prices have very
slightly varied. In deer horns and tips there has ben scared) any.
thing doing during the month, and prices are cs before.
Safflower, Munjeet, Ginger, and Turmeric.--Safflower has con-
tinued in brisk demand, especially the finer descriptions of Patter-
ghatta, which have been rather scarce, the arrivals of late having,
generally speaking, proved of inferior quality.
Munjeet has sold at 7r. 4a., for shipment to Great Britain.
Ginger in no demand, except for America, and even for that
part there has not been much doing lately.

Turmeric has sold to some extent for France at 2r. per maund.
Cowries, Tincal, and Cutch—We have net heard of any sales of
cowries, but shipments are still going forward to Great Britain.
Tincal has sold to a moderate extent at about 13r. 4a. per md.
Cutch has been in inquiry for France, and we hear of sales at from
6r. 10a. to 7r. per md.
Opium—The fourth Government sale of the season was held on
the 26th ult., with the following result, viz.:—
Chests. Average

Proceeds
Company's Rupees.
Patna 1,775 ... 1,574 4 0 ... 27,94,300
Benares B5O -.. 1,462 2 9 ... 12,42,850
These prices were somewhat above what were anticipated, and
were obtained in consequence of immense speculation amongst the
native dealers, who were the principal buyers. Since the sale prices
have not materially varied, and we now quote Patna at Company's
rupees 1,590, and Benares 1,460, per chest.
Shipments have been to a very limited extent, and the stock now
remaining in the Company's godown consists of 3,869 chests of
Patna, and 1,634 of Benares.

Cotton—The last accounts from China were considered rather
more favourable for some descriptions of this staple, but still trans-
actions here are to a very moderate extent, and shipments to China
are light.

r HE STAFFORD SHIRE POTTERIES and
1. LIVERPOOL and MANCHESTER DIRECT RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered.)

The object of this 'railway is to open a dire& communication irons
the Staffordshire Potteries northwards with Liverpool, Manchester,
and the north of England, Scotland, and southward with Bristol,
London, and the south of England. The line will commence at
Stafford, and proceed through the heart of the Potteries, giving
the best and most ample accommodation to Stoke Longtou, New-
castle, Stoke Hanley, Burslem, and the whole of the Pottery district,
whence it will pass betwixt Cengleton and Sandbach, through
Knutsfonl direct to Altrincham, where it will join the South Junction
Railway to Manchester, an Act for which has been obtained. A
branch northwards, from the Potteries to Crewe, will connect the
line with Chester and Birkenhead; and branches from Xnutsford on
the one hand, through Northwich to Preston Brook, and on the other
to the Cheadle station of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway,
will open a communication between the Salt districts and the Pot-
teries, Liverpool, Hull, and the eastern ports of England.
The advantages of this railway Will be very great to a large and
most important extent of country, hitherto totally unprovided with
railway communication, and will be wore fully detailed in a future
Prospectus, whieh, with Maps and the names of an influential pro-
visional Directory, will be iskied with as little delay as possibla. The
surveys and estimates are in the course of completion, and no parks
or ornamentals grounds will be interfered with.
Parties interested in the undertaking may communicate with the
solicitors, Messrs. J. and T. Roscoe, Knutsford ; and W. Burdett,
Esq., Manchester.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Q.C., then rose to address the Committee against the
Bill, on behalf of Lord Ward. The Leaned Gentleman then
proceeded at some length to describe the inconvenience which the
line of the Great Western would impose on Lord Ward's property.
The line in question cut his estate in two, and did great injury to
the park, while at the same time it gave the most imperfect
accommodation to his mineral produce. The main line was
generally either above or below the level of the branch lines con-
nected with the pits and works, and between Dudley and Stour_
bridge it took a much inferior route for the accommo-
dation of mineral traffic to the Tring line. He then
addressed himself to the subject of tolls, contending that the Great
Western had broken faith with the iron-masters and mineral_
owners of South Staffordshire, in altering their traffic clauses
as they had done. Having amplified en these points, the Learned
Gentleman concluded by eal.ing witnesses in support of his case.
Mr. Smith, Lord Ward's mineral agent, already examined on
behalf of the Tring line, was called to speak to the damage that
would be done to Lord Ward's property, and as to the effect the
difference of level between the main and branch lines, the tolls, •
transhipment, &c., would have on the mineral traffic.
The Committee then adjourned.
