MOUTH LINE.

The Committee decided that so much of the Bill as referred
to the line between Chichester and Portsmouth was passed, sub..
ject to an arrangement as to the terminus at Purtsea.

The Cn►IRMAN stated that it was a direct understanding that
the tube, if laid down, was not to interfere with the locomotive
line, and they thought that the tube had better not be carried into
Portsmouth town, but that that portion should be a locomotive line.
The Committee said that they did not bind the companies to the
terminus at Portsmouth, but suggested that all the companies
should use one terminus.

Mr. AUSTIN and Mr. WMATELEY stated that it was the desire of
the counsel and promoters that the Committee should adjourn to
Monday, to make arrangements about the termini—it being under-
stood that there should be a terminus for the accommodation of the
public on Loth lines at Godalming.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday.

GROUP X.
CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN LINE.
CLOSE OF THE CASE.

At the sitting of the Committee this day
Mr. TRIPP rose, on the part of ➢lr. Pemberton, a landowner,
state his case, but

Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE objected, unless the case could be dis
posed of in a short time.

The Committee retired, and on their return
The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Sergeant Kinglake whether he ob-
jected to Mr. Tripp's proceeding ?
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE having replied in the negative,
Mr. TRIPP proceeded to say that he would now state to the Com-
mittee an outline of the injuries that his client's property would
sustain by the manner in which the line would run through his
property at Chesterton, and which would be fully detailed
by witnesses which he would produce, The Learned
Counsel then handed in a plan of the property,
at Chesterton, for which Mr. Pemberton was trustee, and pointed
out the route which the line would take, by which he contended
the property would be greatly injured; that the darn proposed to
be made would cause certain valuable meadows to be flooded,
which might be avoided by a viaduct, and he could show another
route by which all this injury would be avoided, and by which the
Cambridge and Lincoln Company would save about 15,0001.
Mr. Harwood deposed as to the value of Mr. Pemberton's pro-
perty.

Mr. W. Newman deposed as to the traffic between Chesterton
and Cambridge, which principally consisted of articles for domestic
consumption in the former place. Was of opinion that great
inconvenience would be caused by the proposed line to the inha.
bitants.

Mr. S. Hughes, civil engineer, Duke-street, Westminster, stated
that his opinion was, that if the proposed line were taken in a
direction by which to avoid this property, it would afford equal
facilities to the public and cost the Company much less, though it
would be a mile longer. Great injury would be done to Mr.
Pemberton's meadows by the overflowing of the river Cam, across
which it was proposed to throw a bridge by the Cambridge and
Lincoln Company, but his opinion was that it ought to be a
viaduct.

Mr. Rendall's assistant said that the embankment proposed to
be made by the Cambridge and Lincoln Company, as well as the
bridge over the Cam, would have the effect of carrying away all
the Hood water; there were arches and drains proposed to be made
across the meadows.

Mr. TRIPP said that no such evidence had been given by Mr.
Rendall.

The witnesses having given evidence as to the amount of the
population, the Counsel for the London and York line called
witnesses to rebut it, after hearing which the Committee adjourned
at half-past five.

LOSS OF HERMAJESTY'S TROOP-
, SHIP APOLLO.
Yesterday evening a very painful interest pervaded the Artillery
Barracks at Woolwich, in consequence of a private letter having
been received from Greenock (announced in the " Shipping List"
of last evening), describing the loss of her Majesty's troop-ship
Apollo on the coast of Newfoundland. The letter was received by
the packet.ship which reached I.iverpool in the early part of the
week, addressed to Messrs. Baine Johnson, merchants in the
above town, from their agents at St. ,rohn's, Newfoundland. It
bears the date of Friday, the 6th of June, and briefly announces the
melancholy fact that the Apollo troop-ship, with ti.Nps for Canada,
had been lost at a place called St. Shots, near St. John's, and that
80 of those on board had perished. At first the report was con-
sidered by the officers of the garrison as unfounded, neither the
same conveyance which brought the above letter nor the preat
Western, bringing any communication from the officers or crew of
the Apollo, respecting the lamentable occurrence. On referring,'
however, to the last advices from the officers on board, and the
great distance where the sad catastrophe is said to have occurred,
perhaps off one of those isolated spots which are so numerous on
the banks of Newfoundland, where the only communication is by
coasting vessels, the belief that the reported Calamity was but too
true gained ground.
The Apollo sailed from Sheerness in the early part pf April last,
having on board from the Woolwich garrison two comparis of the
Royal Artillery Corps—viz., of the Ist and 9th battalion, under
the command of Captain Bent and Captain Collington, with the fol.
lowing officers attached :—Lieutenant Travers, Lieutenant Glelg,
Lieutenant Lovel, Lieutenant Evans, Lieutenant Bent, Lieutenant
Ord, Hon. E. T. Gage, Lieutenant S. K. Bayley, Lieutenant R.
Granville, and Lieutenant J. G. Boothby, with Dr. Bent, of the
Ordnance Medical Department. They were to relieve other com-
panies of the Royal Artillery in the Canadian territory, under
Major Furneaux and Captain Cater. The ship arrived at Ports-
mouth on the 10th of that month, and took her departure on the
19th, bound for Cork, Halifax, and Quebec, taking on board at
the former port portions of a regiment of the line. The
last advices received by the authorities bear date Halifax, the
28th of May, announcing her safe arrival at that port, and
the satisfaction of those of the Royal Artillery that the troop
which had embarked at Cork had been landed there.
She was to sail from Halifax on the following day for her
destination, Quebec. It appears from other accounts of that date
that a succession of very fearful gales took place off the banks of
Newfoundland, there being at that time a vast accumulation of
ice. Several ships had been lost, and amongst them was the
barque Jupiter, from Liverpool, bound to St. John's. She had
been crushed by the floating ice, and so suddenly that eight out of
the ship's company perished with her. The captain, Mr. Sed-
mond, of Scarborough, and the remainder of the crew, escaped the
same fate by jumping on a piece of ice, and subsequently obtain-
ing possession of the ship's long boat, which providentially had
floated. Respecting the fate of the Apollo, the greatest anxiety
must necessarily prevail until the arrival of the next Halifax
packet. The Apollo has been engaged in conveying troops to
different parts of the world for several years. She was corn.
missioned on the 3d of March last by Captain Ratcliffe, her
officers comprising Lieutenant Risk, Mr. Williams (master), Mr.
Graham (surgeon), air. Dowell (purser), and Mr. F. J. Kent
(second master). She carried eight guns, and was upwards of 1,000
tons burden.

KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON.
Yesterday the distribution of prizes, awarded by this institution,
took place in the theatre of the College. The Archbishop of Can-
terbury presided, and was supported by the Bishops of London,
Winchester, and Lichfield, the Dean of Westminster. Lord Rad-
stock, and Sir C. Clarke. The theatre was crowded by the friends
of the pupils. The Most Rev. Primate then made a few prelimi.
nary remarks as to the business of the day, after which
the Professors in order addressed the meeting on the int.
provemcnt and good behaviour of their respective pupils.
The prizes were then delivered in the following order :—Depart.
ment of General Literature and Science.—Divinity (senior year)_

At the termination of the distribution, the CHAIRMAN rose, and
stated that he was sure all parties present would be highly
gratified with the many proofs of the good behaviour and the great
improvement made by the various pupils, which was no doubt
owing to the very efficient Professors chosen for their instruction,
and that he, should Providence spare him, would be ready at any

time to assist this valuable Institution by every means in his power.
The Bishop of London proposed that the thanks of the company be
returned to the Archbishop of Canterbury, not only for his exer-

Lions on the present occasion, but on many former times. The
Dean of Westminster seconded the proposition, which was carried
unanimously. The meeting then separated.

IVILFUL MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE..

The village of Stondon Massey, in this county, was yesterday
(Thursday) thrown into a state of painful excitement, by the dis.
covery that the wife of a labouring man named William Black-
, burn had been murdered. It appears that about six o'clock in the
morning the husband was seen to leave Stondon Hall, the resi-
dence of Mr. Tames French, a farmer, in part of which he lodged,
and soon after a daughter of Mr. French discovered the lifeless
body of Blackburn's wife lying across the bed in almost a state
of nudity, with her throat cut in a horrible manner. An
alarm being given, a number of persons, with the police,
instituted a search for the husband, and in the afternoon
he was seen in Church Wood, about a quarter of a mile from
Stondon Hall, standing by a gate. Finding himself observed, he
went out of the pathway into the standing wood, from which he
afterwards came out with a frightful wound in his throat, the blood
trickling down upon his breast. He was unable to speak, but a
rattling noise was heard in his throat. A razor and knife were
found in his pockets. An inquest was held this morning, before
C. C. Lewis, Esq. , and the scene, on viewing the corpse, was one
of the most appalling character, the floor and walls of the room
being deluged with blood. From the state of the body it
is concluded that the unfortunate victim struggled greatly
in her endeavours to avert the hand of her mur-
derer. Mr. Barlow, surgeon, of Blackmore, described the state
of
.the deceased and the wounds, one of which, lie said
completely divided the larynx, and exposed the spine of the neck.
Henry Seers, a police-constable, proved that Blackburn, the hus-
band, about eight o'clock last night, wrote broken sentences on a
slate to the effect that he did not know what he was about till be
committed the deed, and then he tried to end his own life; that he
loved his wife—who had no time to reflect—dearly, but he hoped
the Lord would have mercy upon him. The evidence went to
show that the man had been low-spirited for a considerable time,
and had been unable to work. The jury, without hesitation, found
a verdict of " Wilful murder" against William Blackburn. The
medical men are of opinion that he will not long survive, the sus-
tenance he takes escaping from the wound in his throat. De-
ceased has left no children.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
INQUEST ON TIIE HON. CAPTAIN DE SALIS.—Last
evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Goat, Arabella-row,
Pimlico, on the body of Charles Lewis de Salis, aged twenty-four,
captain in the Scotch Fusilier Guards. Mr. Henry Jerome de Salis,

and Judd. Mr. Liston was also called in. Deceased had two
wounds, one on the right hip, and the other in the knee. He was
also labouring under concussion of the brain. He was put to
bed, and treated for concussion without success, for he gradually
sank, asid died on Thursday evening at eight o'clock. Thomas
Garmonswys, a groom, said that on Wednesday evening,
about six o'clock, he was about to cross the Victoria-road from
Brewer-street,
when he saw deceased and Lord Douglas cantering
slowly by. Just as they were passing deceased's horse, a pony
made a long stumble of five or six yards, in consequence of its
hitting one foreleg against the other, and in, trying to recover
itself it struck the hind foot with the pastern joint of the near
fore-leg. It then stopped suddenly, and deceased fell on the off-
side, the pony rolling on to him. Witness picked hint up bleeding
Sails said his brother was twenty-four years of age,
and insensible, and took him to the surgery of the first witness. Mr.

Several of the jury said they saw the accident, and that deceased
rode well, and kept his seat until the horse fell with him. Had he
been a bad rider he would have been thrown far from the horse,
and probably have escaped. Verdict—" Accidental death."
