Mr. ALEXANDER then called Mr. Leach, the solicitor of the
Newry and Enniskillen line, who stated that he drew up the agree-
ment read at the instance of the Company, and with the consent of
sir John Rennie and Sir John M`Neille for whom he acted. He
furnished a copy of it to Sir John M`Niel'e. The latter gentleman
stated that he was fully empowered by his Company to treat in re-
spect of all engineering matter. He (the witness) attended both
Sir John Rennie and Sir John M`Nielle, and was witness to the
execution of it by both.
`r. AUSTIN cross-examined the witness at seine length—He
said he had the materials for the agreement furnished by Sir John
Rennie, but a draft of it had been supplied to Sir John INl`Nielle.
There was a paragraph written in pencil by witness after the first
draft was furnished ; and though it was drawn up at the instance of
Sir J. Rennie, he (the witness) had the decided impression that Sir
John M`Nielle had assented to it, though it had not been fur-
nished to him for observation till the perfect copy was supplied for
execution. No objection was taken to it till after the agreement
was signed by both parties
On re-examination, the witness stated that the Company had
religiously observed the conditions of the agreement.
Sir John Rennie deposed to his having an interview with Sir
John M'Neille before the Bills were brought before the Standing
Orders Committee. That gentleman at that time expressed his
opinion that it was a great pity that the two Companies could
not come to an arrangement. He went on to say that he was
fully empowered to treat for that Company in making an
agreement, and said it would be well if he (the witness) could get
similar power from his company. The matter was laid before a
meeting of witness's company, and he received powers to effect a
settlement. From conversation in a subsequent interview with
Sir John M`Nielle, at which Mr. Leach was present, the latter gen-
tleman threw the results into the shape of an agreement. This was
afterwards executed by both parties on a Saturday, but, on the
Monday following, he received a note from Sir John M`Neille,
stating that there was a misunderstanding regarding the agree.
went, as he understood the suspension of competition was only to
extend so for as the standing orders were concerned.
In answer to Mr. AUSTIN, the witness stated that Lord Jocelyn,
on the part of the promoters of the Dundalk and Enniskillen line
had, on the Tuesday following the execution of the agreement,
objected to it, except so far as the standing orders had been con.
cerned, and that the Noble Lord had intimated that Sir John
M'Nielle had no power to act further in the matter. Sir John had

The LORD MAYOR—Oh, he is prepared to pay the
penalty, is he? The officer—He says, my Lord, that
you can do nothing but fine him.
The LORD MAYOR—What have you to say, defendant?
The cabman, who appeared to be quite contrite and
humble, declared that he did not know Mr. Softlaw, or
he never would have said a word about his fare; that he
considered he was entitled to charge for luggage, and
that he really thought a shilling was too little for such
accommodation as his cab had afforded, and that he
meant nothing by the language be had uttered.
The LORD MAYOR—Now, I shall not inflict any
penalty upon you, although you supposed I should, but
I shall send you to the House of Correction for one
month, although you supposed I could not.
The cabman—l assure your Lordship I shall never
offend again.
The LORD MAYOR—It is in my power to stop your
licence, and that would put an end to your cabmanship
altogether. Take care of the next offence—that's all I
say to you.—The defendant was then committed.
The above case was the third occasion upon which the
Lord Mayor committed to prison a cabman who was able
to pay the penalty without inconvenience; and his Lord-
ship intimated his determination to substitute Bridewell
for the pecuniary fine, according to the circumstances of
the complaint.

CONYIRMATION.—The Lord Bishop of Oxford held
a confirmation in St. Mary's Church, on Saturday morning,
when about two hundred under graduates of the different
colleges were admitted to the holy rite.
TII E ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID lIA IR DYE ;
the only dye that really answers for all colours, and
does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it
never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint
common to all other dyes. Boss and Sons can, with the
greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as in-
fallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies or
gentlemen requiring it, are r( quested to bring a friend
or servant with them to see how it is used, which will
enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of
failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to
the above purpose, and some of their establishment
having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen.
They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly
to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, nume-
rous persons have succeeded equally well without coming
to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops-
gate-street, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers,
Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers. N.B. Parties attended at
their own residences, whatever the distance.

stated there was no opposition offered to the continuation of the
line by any landowner. He then quoted some extracts from the
report of the Board of Trade, and also from a statement made by
Mr. Locke in the year 1836, for the purpose of proving that the
gradients at a p'ace called Bedock-bridge were of so severe
a nature that they would constitute a great obstacle to
the oppcsing line being made. From Glasgow to Carlisle the
ascents of the Caledonian line had been reckoned at 1,336 feet, and
from Carlisle to Glasgow at 1,364 feet, and these elevations, in an
engineering point of view, would form a serious difficulty. The
Learned Counsel then opposed in detail the data on which the
competing company had estimated their traffic, grounding his objec-
tions principally upon the evidence in support of the mercantile traffic.

Mr. Thomas Downer, a grocer, maltster, and dealer in Irish
provisions at Curdford, about four miles north.east of Petworth,
confirmed the testimony of the two previous witnesses, and stated
his impression that there was a general wish for the railway in his
neighbourhood. He sent about 700 quarters of malt to London,
but he suffered great inconvenience occasionally from the detention
of goods on the canal by frost and other causes.
Mr. George Turvill, a farmer at Shalfurd, on the road from
Guildford to Godalming, stated that they sold the bulk of their

Four Brahmins of high caste have arrived in this
country for the purpose of studying medicine at University College.
They are intended to take degrees, with a view of placing them on
the same footing with the faculty of India, and at the same time
enabling them, as natives, to spread in the interior the knowledge
they have acquired in our institutions. Two of these students are
sent over by Sir Henry Hardinge, at the expense of the East Indian
Government, one by public subscription amongst the citizens of
Calcutta, and the fourth by Dwarkanauth Tagore, an Eastern phi.
