STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEE.

The Committee met at twelve o'clock, the Earl of ShaftesbUr/
in the chair.

The Wear Valley Railway Bill was first brought under the con-
sideration of the Committee.

It was unopposed and passed.
THE EXIINEUR,GH NORTHERN RAILWAY,
This Bill was next brought before the Committee.
It was opposed on the ground that due notice had not been given,
and that the technical forms had not been complied with. The
chief objection of this sort was, that notice had not been given of
alterations which had been made in the progress of the Bill.
This allegation was answered by the promoters, who stated that
they could not have anticipated the alterations which the Conl7
mittee of the House of Commons had made.
It was decided that the standing orders bad been complied with.
The Bill then passed through Committee, but it was rumoured
that it would be stoutly opposed on its merits in a Commit'
tee of the Lords.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP P.

MONMOUTH AND HEREFORD RAILWAY'
The Committee re..assembled at the usual hour this morning, and
immediately proceeded to the consideration of the above scheme.
Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the promoters by observing that
he proposed to submit to the Committee an unopposed Bill, and be
hoped there would be no difficulty in the matter. It
would be necessary to alter the preamble of the BBL
In consequence of the difficulty attending the crossing
of the Severn, it was intended to abandon the part of the railwal
in that vicinity. The alterations rested on the expediency of con-
structing a line of railway to Standish. A junction would be
formed with the South Wales Railway, so as more intimately to
connect Monmouthshire and Herefordshire with that line. Powell
would then be required to be taken to make a short branch into the
Forest of Dean, so as more effectually to open up that rich
mineral district ; and by continuing the line to the eastward
an unbroken line of commudication would be established between
Hereford, Ross, Monmouth, and London. A project had sortie
time since been referred to the Committee, which had met with
favourable notice, and was called the Gloucester and Forest of
Dean Railway. It had, however, been defeated in the Standing
Orders Committee, and it was proposed to make a communication
with that line when it should receive the Parliamentary sanction.
The line would terminate at the parish ofßlaisdon, so that the junction
with the shorter railway could be easily effected. The original
length of the line had been laid down at 45 miles, it had, however,
been subsequently reduced to 34 miles. It was proposed, however,
to retain the original capital in the Bill of 550,0001. The Board
of Trade had reported favourably of the line, and had stated that it
was well calculated to afford general accommodation to the districts
which it traversed, and would be of great service
to the Forest of Dean, by opening up the mineral
fields there. It was proposed by this branch to furnish
Hereford with a proper supply of coals. The present
price of coals at the pit's mouth was 6s. 6d. per ton, and
the expense of carriage by the Wye was 98., and, if carried bY
land the amount was 13s. The railway would convel
the coal for 35. per ton, so that the coal which was
e
now sold in Hereford at 21s h
per ton would,
the railway were constructed, be sold at the moderate price of I ls•
per ton. He would also remark that in Hereford, which was a
kind et Arcadia, nothing was so much desired as a facile cornrow
ideation with neighbouring counties for the disposal of its agricul-
tural and orchard produce, the trade in which was now almost in abet'
ance in consetidenceof thegreat expense and d,lay in transmission'
Cyder was at pi esent a complete drug in the market, and was sold
at a mere nominal price, averaging from 4d. to 6d. per gallon, a
price which was not nearly sufficient to remunerate the producer.
It was also to be hoped that before long Herefordshire would
possess a legitimate market for the sale of its hops. It was a notorious
fact that nine.tenths of the hops sold at Worcester were originsill,
brought from Herefordshire. The construction of the proposed,
line would tend in every way to promote the interests of Hereford
and Monmouth, and the intermediate and adjacent places. 11s
would not enter into any exposition of the engineering details, as
he intended very shortly to call Mr. Brunel, the engineer, ie..%
would explain to the Committee the course of the line. He
4,10 w
now proceed with the examination of witnesses, and as the Bill was
unopposed, he trusted the Committee would be in a condition to pa's
the preamble of the line without any difficulty.
In reply to a question from Mr. CRIPPS,
Mr. TALBOT said it was his intention to have the line carried
from Westbury, via Gloucester, to the north bank of the Severn.
Mr. Anthony, who was the first witness called, stated that
a proper supply of coals would be a very important point":
The coals were principally supplied from the Forest of
Dean, and were generally brought by the Wye. Very little was
exported in consequence of the difficulty attending its transmis-
sion. The witness also spoke as to the traffic in copse wood for
charcoal, hops, and cyder, which latter article was sold at 2titt
per gallon, and deposed generally as to the benefits which would
be derived to the county if the line were constructed.
Mr. S. Powell, of Old Forge, said he had been engaged in trade
all his life, and was well acquainted with the navigation of the Wye,
and also possessed a complete knowledge of the trade in the court..
ties of Monmouth and Hereford. The commerce was principal',
convened by water. Great quantities of bark and copse wood
were produced in Herefordshire. The wood, when converted into
charcoal, would be transmitted by the railway into Staffordshire,
for the use of the Iron trade.

The CHAIRMAN, at the close of the examination of the be
witness, said it was not necessary to examine any more witnesse.
as to the general produce of the districts 'which the line traversed.
The principal difficulty in the project was the branch to Blarsdon.
It appeared to the Committee that there would not be a sufficient
terminus there.

Mr. AUSTIN said he would at once proceed to the engineerint
evidence, so as to satisfy the Committee of the practicability of the
entire scheme.

After which the Committee decided that the preamble of the
Bill was proved.

The clauses were also agreed to, and the Committee broke up.
The Bill will be reported on Monday.

GROUP X.
THE DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY,
The Committee appointed to consider the numerous projects and
Bills in this group, reassembled at half-past eleven o'clock,
and proceeded to hear evidence in favour of the Direct Northern
line. Mensbers present—Viscount Courtenay, Mr. Darby, Mr. D.
Wall, and Mr. Scrope.
Mr. 'William Wells, farmer, Booth Ferry, was first called, to
show that on his own farm of 450 acres, and in his Immediate
neighbourhood, great quantities of potatoes were grown for the
London market, which were at present shipped per the Ouse,
Trent, and Humber rivers, to Hull, and thence shipped to London.
The cost of such carriage was 12s. per ton; but if the proposed
railway were constructed, the cost of transit would be diminished
very considerably, and a great saving would be effected in point of
time.

Mr. William Clark, farmer, Duddington, county of Lincoln, hid
150 out of 800 acres under potatoes, and forwarded them to London.
He quite agreed with the last witness, that a great saving would
be effected in the period required, and in cost of transit, If
the railway under consideration were constructed. The
number of fat cattle sent to Wakefield, Rotherham, and other
markets was 1,025, and of sheep, 1,600. The cattle trade vial
greatly impeded for want of an efficient communication with the
several markets east and south.

These witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WWI..
lIAM, but without any result differing in the slightest degree itroilt
that in the examination in chief.
__ _ _

Mr. John Morley, farmer, Easthorpe Hall, county of York, grew
potatoes and wheat in considerable quantities, which were for-
warded to London and the other markets, north, east, and south-
He knew the surrounding district well, and calculated that the
ar,nual quantity of wheat sent to town was 10,000 quarters and
of potatoes 20,000 tons.
John Adams, ironmonger, oilman, and colourman, Thorne. pur-
chased his goods in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and London, in
considerable quantities. They came from Thorne to Gainsborougb
by the canal, and cost about 7s. 6d. a ton. The Direct Northern
Railway would be of great advantage to himself and others, and it
would save a considerable expense in transit.
