GROUP FF.

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at one o'clock
this afternoon, and proceeded with the general traffic evidence in
favour of the

EDINZURGH AND NORTHERN LINE.

Mr. Marshall, who had taken an account of the existing traffic
on the whole route of the line, and whose evidence in chief closed
the proceedings on Saturday, was cross-examined at some length
this afternoon, with the view of discovering discrepancies in his
tables and calculations, but nothing of any importance, or, at all
crento, nothing that appeared likely to shake the foundation of his
former testimony was elicited.

Air. Granger, the civil engineer of Edinburgh—Had prepared the
s.
uiplaint:c, atannitsiehctaidonssurovfetyhede line under
lyungdeenrertahlecoenxsaidmeirid theofaletioncounty o
tlleCorn.f
Fife, with the view to ascertain the most desirable route for a rail-
way. lie considered the line before the Committee was decidedly the most favourable that could be marked out. Ihe
greatest height on the whole line was 279 feet above
the let el of the sea, but, comparatively, this was a low level for the
district, namely that of the New Town, Ihe main line was about
Unity-five miles in extent, and the branch to Cupar five mile,.
The severest gradient going northward was I in 125, and going t 3
the south 1 in 100. The declivity on the Cupar branch was lin
185. The line as it approached Kirckaldy became rather steep, the
gradients being lin 14, and on this part of the line it would be
nectssary t 3 work the trains with a stationary engine. Generally
speaking the works on the line were easy. There were three
tunnels. The' first was 240 feet in length, the second 200, and
the third 150. The archings on the line were 154 yards in extent_
The expenses of constructing the whole lice and works he esti.
mated at 550,000/. For the working expenses he would allow 40
per cent. on the gross annual receipts of the line. He thought it
highly important that this and other lines running into Perth should
have a common terminus at the South Inch there, because it was
quite evident to him the lines would give material feeders to each
other.

The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. WHATE-
Lxv, to show that the present course of the line would materially
interfere with the residence of Lord Rosslyn, and tend to interrupt
the performance of Divine service at Dysart Church.
It being now four o'clock, the Committee adjourned till twe!vs
o'clock to-morrow.

The Committee met at half past one o'clock, Sir Charles Douglas
lit the chair, and, after a considerable delay, proceeded to examine
the additional information prepared since Friday on the subject of
fares and tolls. _ .

Several schedules were put in showing, in most instances, consi.
derAle reductions, but in some few, where the traffic was but small
a moderate increase.

A clause was inserted binding ate Company to make cctnpensa.

WADES: LONDON REVIEW.

The opening article of the present Number, "An-
cient and Modern Civilization," is a very so-so affair.
Just such a string of pompous common-places as
Polonius might have strung together. It is not de-
cidedly bad—it is far from good—but it is insuffer-
ably dull. " A thing," as Dogberry would say,
" most tolerable, and not to be endured.' The paper
cn " Rabelais" is excellent. Shrewd, witty, and with
a genius for common sense, the author is deeply im-
bued with the spirit of the honest and sarcastic cure
of Meudon, and does him ample justice. We hope
that the writer of this article may be induced to
develop his subject still further, and to give us an
edition of ,4 Rabelais" with notes and a commentary.
Such a work is much wanted. 'There is also a very
sensible article on the subject of " Scotch Banking,"
in which the writer defends the existing system with
great success.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In your paper of Wednesday evening, rela-
tive to the extra clerks employed in her Majesty's
Custom-house, you state the expenses of that class
of officers, for the year ending 1844, to be 13,8441.
Now, as the extra clerks are the most likely to be
affected by any alteration which may be made,
I beg to state that there are not more than
one hundred and twenty extra clerks employed
and that their salary, without exception, does not
exceed 781. per annum ; and some of these clerks have
been employed for twelve years, without any in-
crease—Trusting you will excuse this liberty, I re-
main, Sir, your obedient servant,

4c.r.TD 08.

A case of breach of promise of marriage was tried at Glou-
cester, in which the defendant, a farmer, named Stephens,
attempted to cast imputations on the character of the
plaintiff, a Miss Cooke. The evidence for the defence, how-
ever, was so grossly improbable, and so very disgusting,
that the Lord Chief Baron before whom the case was tried,
advised the counsel for the plaintiff not to cross••examine
defendant's witness, and expressed his disgust in strong
terms at the conduct of defendant and his witnesses. The
verdict was for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages.
The case of the Queen r. the Poor-law Guardians of
Rochdale was tried at Liverpool. The action was to try
certain issues raised on a return to a writ of mandamus.
The point to be ascertained was—whether or not the
Guardian:: had wiifully disobeyed certain orders of the Poor-
law Commi,,sioners ; and, if they had, whether they were
not justified in so doing. The verdict was for the Crown,
leave being reserved for the defendants to move the court
above.

James Haslam, William Lee, and John Adamson, were
indicted before Mr. Justice Coltman, for conspiring to procure
the return of John Slater as town councillor of Bolton, by
fraudu ent means. It appeared that the defendants had
brought in persons from the country to personate voters. The
jury brought in a verdict of guilty against all the defendants.
A motion, however, was made in arrest of judgment, and the
defendants were held to bail to appear at the next assizes.

Treasury Chambers, April 7, 1845.
Whereas, by an Act passed in the sixth year of her
Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act for guaranteeing
the Payment of the Interest on a Loan of 1,500,0001,
to be raised by the Province of Canada," her Majesty
was empowered to guarantee the payment of the Inte-
rest on any Loan, to any amount, not exceeding
1,500,0001., which might be raised for the service of the
Province of Canada, under any Act to be passed by the
Legislature of the said Province, in the manner and
under the conditions in the said Act mentioned;—
And whereas, by an Act of the Legislature of the
Province of Canada, intituled "An Act to authorise
the raising, by way of Loan, in England, the sum of
1,500,000/. sterling, for the Construction and Com-
pletion of certain Public Works in Canada," her Ma-
jesty is empowered to borrow, with the guarantee

And whereas her Majesty has been pleased, by war-
rant, to appoint any three or more of the Commissioners

such sums as may be from time to time required for the
service of the said Province, not exceeding in the whole
the said sum of 1,500,0001;—

CUSTOMS.-REVENUE.

Mr. E. BULLER begged leave to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman opposite, when (as we understood) there
would be an opportunity of bringing forward the several
motions of which notice had been given, respecting the
Custcms' Amendment Act.

Sir R. PEEL (who was also imperfectly heard) was
understood to say that he was not at present able to
name a day, but he would take an early opportunity of
doing so.
Mr. PARKER would postpone his notice on the sub-
ject until the Right Hon. Baronet appointed a day.
Mr. HAVES wished to ask the Right lion. Gentle-
man the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he pro-
posed to lay before the Ilouss the last report of the Com-
missioners of Revenue Inquiry ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the report laid by the Commissioners before the
Treasury in December last was confidential, and there
had not been time to decide whether it should be pub-
lished for the use of Hon. Members.
THE PAPER TRADE.

GISBORNE, who was almost inaudible, put a
question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the
subject of certain applications, made some time since
to the Commissioners of Excise by the paper trade.
The question he wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle-
man was, whether the Board of Excise had yet come to
a decision on this subject, and if so, what that decision
was ? _ _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
he had had a deputation from the paper-makers a short
time ago on this particular subject, and in consequence
the Board of Excise had taken the matter into their
consideration. It was, however, necessary that the
Commissioners should have a report from the different
districts in which papt r was manufactured; and as these
reports had not yet been received, the Commissioners
had not been able to come to a judgment on the subject.
As soen as this judgment was come to, he would com
muuicate it to the Hon. Gentleman.
THE FISHERIES.

Lord PALMERSTON—I wish, Sir, to put a question
to the Right Hon. Gentleman, of which I have given
nim notice. It is stated in the newspapers that the
French MinistEr, M. Guizot, has announced to the
Chambers that he is about to propose a Bill for the
purpose of carrying into effect certain modifications
which the Baitish Government had consented to in the
treaty which was concluded in 1839, between the two
Governments, for regulating the fisheries in the narrow
seas. I wish to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman what
these modifications are ?
Sir R. PEEL—I think there must be some mistake
with respect to the report to which the Noble Lord
reftra. The Noble Lord and the House will probably
recollect that a convention was entered into in 1@39
between this country and France with respect to tho
fisheries
countries, for the purpose of the coasts of the two countries. By the
tobe made eleventh article, I think it was, certain regulations were
by Commissioners appointed by the two
giving effect to that treaty.
Those regulations Were made, Rita embodied in an Apt

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE
NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

Provisionally Registered.

This Railway is projected with a view to a more perfect connexion
between the counties and ports of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
also to afford a direct communication between Lancashire and the
North-Eastern parts of the kingdom. The line is intended to branch
out of the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway at Skipton,
whence it will proceed by Bolton-bridge, crossing the river Wash-
burn, and along the valley of the Nidd by Hampsthwalte to Harro-
gate and Knaresborough, where it will join one of the projected lines
of Railway from those places now before Parliament to form a junc-
tion with the Great North of England Railway at Raskelf or Thirsk.
By this line of Railway the most direct and entire communication
will be established between the ports of Liverpool, Lancaster, Pres-
ton, and Fleetwood, and the North-west District of Lancashire,
comprising the important towns of Bury, Dolton, Blackburn, Ac-
crington, Burnley, Clitheroe, and Colne, and the vast Agricultural
District of the North Riding and the North-Eastern parts of England
and Scotland.

The length of the line, including the Branch to Pateley-bridge,
will be about 27 miles, and will open up the most important andj?o-
pulous agricultural district of Yorkshire to the manufacturing dis-
tricts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as to the coal fields of the
county of Durham.

This projected line will effect a saving in distance in the communi-
cation to the North-Eastern parts of the kingdom, from the im-
portant districts alluded to, of upwards of 50 miles ; the local traffic
will be considerable. _ _

A survey of the line has been already made, and it presents no
serious engineering dittleultios, and it will be constructed with favour-
able gradients at not more than the average cost.
A detailed prospectus, with a powerful provisional directory, will
bo shortly issued.
