Bill to the House.

LONDON AND CROYDON (ENLARGEMENT)

The Committee on this Bill met at twelve o'clock in No. in
the House of Lords, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair.
The Bill was unopposed, and passed through Committee.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP X.
suErriELn AND LINCOLNSHIRE LINE.
This Committee resumed to-day at the accustomed hour, Viscount
Courtenay in the chair. Previous to proceeding to the ordinary
business of the day,
Mr. TALBOT, Q. C., made an application to the Committee to
postpone the consideration of the Wakefield Branch of the Lon-
don and York till next session. That scheme was opposed
by the promoters of the Swinton and Lincoln line, with which it
clearly competed, and it would entail an enormous and useless ex-
pense to keep witnesses, day after day, to give evidence on a sub-

ject which could not be considered for some time. He, therefore,
asked that a specific resolution should be come to by the Committee,
postponing the case in question, a course which must necessarily be

adopted, or at any rate rendered advisable from the fact that even
if reported on, the schemes must remain in abeyance till next ses.

Mr. PAGET replied that the promoters of the London and York
line were very anxious that no delay should take place in
the prosecution of their case, and he therefore urged the Committee
not to accede to an application which might eventually be proved
not only unnecessary, but prejudicial.
The CHAIRMAN, after consulting with his colleagues on the Corn.
mittee, observed that no resolution cou'd be effected, either for or
against the application, antil Mr. Sergeant Wranghain (who was
then absent) had had an opportunity of hearing and expressing his
opinion upon it.
The Committee then proceeded with the hearing of evidence
adduced by Mr. Talbot, to prove the injury the Sheffield and Lin-
colnshire line would eLtail on the property of Mr. Foljambe and
Mr. Hutchinson. Lord Galway, Mr. Beaumont, and Mr. Mills,
stated their opinion of its injury to the property of the former, and
a Mr. Corringham, to its injury to that of the latter.
This having closed the case for the promoters of the Bill,
Mr. Hughes, civil engineer, was then examined by Mr. PAGET
to substantiate the rebutting case to the Sheffield and Lincolnshire
line. He had personally surveyed the line both of the Bawtry
branch and the Lincolnshire line, and considers that the cost of the

by Mr. Fowler, the entire cost would be 676,8991. and the quan-
tity of earth cutting 3,193,000 cubic yards.

Mr. Cubitt deposed to the survey and estimates of the Bawtry
Branch having been made by Mr. Hughes on precisely the same
principle as that adopted on the Londun and York, and he attested
their accuracy in every particular.

This having closed the rebutting case of the London and York,
Mr. BAirsas, Q.C., addressed the Committee on behalf of the
promoters, and summed up the evidence adduced in the course of
the consideration of the case. The Sheffield and Manchester
line had some years since been constructed under difficul-
ties of a most unusual, if not discouraging, charac-

ter ; and as the line for which he now sought
the approving vote of the Committee was not only sanc-
tioned but virtually promoted by this Company, which, struggling
against and overcoming these preliminary obstacles—once on the
brink of insolvency, and now one of the most flourishing under.
takings in the country—he regarded that as a most important fea-

ture in the project and eminently calculated to ensure its success.
In the first place, let them look at the accommodation this line will
afford in every direction. If they regarded it as a means of
forming a southern communication with Sheffield, they
would find that by a junction with the Midland
Railway, it would pass through Derby, Lincoln, and Nottingham,
to London, and effecting by this course a saving of 41 miles over
the present route. But taking the distance on the Midland Rail-
way, this Company as compared with the latter, effected even a
greater saving. By the proposed Lincoln line, the distance to the
metropolis would be 1604 miles, while by the Midland it was 177.
Thus it would be no less than 17 miles shorter than that railway.
But not only would Sheffield be thus benefited by a line through
such important towns—Huddersfield, so celebrated for its exten-
sive trade in wool, would be most advantageously accommodated
with a speedy means of conveying its manufactures to a beneficial
market, either for home consumption or an outlet for exportation.
A good deal had been said of the Chesterfield line, and the
accommodation it afforded as between Sheffield and London,
but the distance by it was 169 miles, while by the
Sheffield and Lincoln it would be, as he before stated, 1601.
With respect to the article of coal, about which so much had
been said in the course of the protracted proceedings, Mr. Jeff-
cock, a coal owner and valuer, of Sheffield, whose evidence had
been unimpeached, and, therefore, it was to be inferred, indisput.
able, had proved that, for a distanceof 27 miles out of Sheffield,
taking a mile on each side of the proposed Sheffield and Lincoln-
shire line, and reckoning to the depth of 150 yards, there were
coals sufficient to yield 41,845,275 tons, while, for the same dis.
tance, proportionably, on the Bawtry branch there were only
6,223,425 tons, or nearly seven times as much was on the former
as on the latter line. Again there was another kind of coal ex.
isting in that neighbourhood required for converting iron into
steel. Along the line he represented, there were no less than
9,323,000 tons of this class of coal, while on the Bawtry branch
there were only 453,000 tons, or about one- twentieth part; and
it was proved that whereas the price of this coal at Sheffield was
now 95. 2da ton, bylthe constiuction of that now under conside-
ration, it was rt duced to 7s. 3d.
It being now four o'clock, and the Chairman having intimated
that the Committee were unable to sit longer, the Learned Counsel
deferred the conclusion of his address till twelve o'clock on
Monday.

The Town and Country Gentlemen's Plate of 501., was won
in two heats by Mr. Stephenson's f by Jerry, out of Pastille,
3 yrs, 7st, beating Devil-among-the-tailors, 6 yrs, 9st 21b.
The Railway (Handicap) Plate of 30/., added to a Sweep-
stakes of 2 sous. each, was won in two heats by Mr. Stephen-
son's b f by Jerry, 7st 41b, beating Negus Portsoken, Bst 71b ;
Devil-among-the-tailors, 9st 51b ; and Helter Skelter, Bst 91b.
The Tally- ho Stakes were won by Mr. Oswald's Tiger,
beating Kate Kearney and three others.

THE 2D REGIMENT OF LIFE GUARDS V. THE 2D BATTALION
OF COLDSTREAM GUARDS.—This match was played on Thurs-
day last,in the square of the Cavalry Barracks, Windsor, in
the presence of the greater part of both regiments, each party
being much interested as to the result. The following is
the score :

It was said that the tedious and protracted labours of both
Houses on Railway Bills would, with the exception of one or two
formal matters, be brought to a close this day. Three Com-
mittees sat to-day, but there was no stir or bustle—the lawyers
looked fagged, and so did their Lordships. In the House of Corn.
mons it was with difficulty a House could be made; and in the
Lords it was a " beggarly account of empty benches." No stran-
ger passing outside the Houses could have supposed that the
" great inquest of the nation" was being holden within ; in short,
as Jonathan says, " there was nothing stirring but stagnation."
