NEWRY and ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY.
The Directors have much pleasure in informing the Share-
holders that the Cohimittee of the House of Commons, to whom this
Bill was referred, have reported in favour of the entire line from
Newry, by way of Armagh, and thence through Monaghan and
Clones to Enniskillen. This line will form, in connexion with the
Ulster Railway, a main trunk lino between Belfast and Newry (the
two most important ports on the north-east coast of Ireland) and
the north-western districts of Ireland. It was clearly proved before
the Committee on the Bill that a clear nett return of 81. per cent. per
anaum on the capital might be calculated upon."—By order of the

GROUP F.

This Committee re-assembled to.day at one o'clock, the Right
Hon. F. Shaw, Chairman. The Committee proceeded with one of
the remaining Bills in the group—

113ntwuNGuaivz AND GLOUCESTER EXTEINT-
SION (NO. I.)

This is a Bill for extending the line of railway to the Barclay
canal, where there is at present a tram-line. The Bill was opposed,
and the preamble having been declared proven, the clauses were
then gone through.
There is another Bill postponed to Thursday, which is entitled
the Birmingham, Gloucester, Worcester Deviation, and Chelten.
ham Extension.

There is to be some opposition to the scheme.
The Committee adjourned to twelve o'clock on Thursday.

GROUP GG.
GLASGOW suNcTioN

The Committee appointed to consider the railway schemes in
this group met to.day, at twelve o'clock, in the Court-house, West.
minster, Mr. Evans, Chairman.
Mr. HOPE called Mr. Vignoles, C.E., who having examined the
plans and sections put in by the promoters, gave evidence en the
subject of the tunnel, and said that it must necessarily occupy a
portion of Wellington-street. He thought that the consequence
of the tunnel there would be to injure the streets in the neighbour-
hood. With reference to the difference in the levels which
had been discovered in Mr. Miller's plans, he thought it
betrayed a great degree of carelessness and inattention in his as.
sistants not to have guarded against such. He was aware that
there was 1,000 feet of running sr quick-sand on the harbour
branch, just beyond the Blytheswood estate. The effect of draw-
ing off the water, which is necessary in tunnelling, would cause the
ground to subside, and consequently injure the adjacent buildings.
He generally concurred in the evidence given by Mr. Walker, and
fully appreciated his objection to the crossing of the Clyde, and the
abstraction of a portion of the quay room. The amended line was
a greatly better one, because it did not affect the beauty or traffic
of the city.

R 0 WL AND'S MACASSAR OIL.
Patronised by her ➢IAJESTY and the Royal Family of Great
Britian, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe.
This Elegant, Pragrant, and Transparent Oil, in its preservative,
restorative, and beautifying qualities, is unequalled over the whole
world. It preserves and reproduces the hair, even at a late period of
life ; prevents it from falling off or turning grey ; restores grey hair
to its original colour; frees it from scurf and dandriff, and renders it
soft, silky, curly and glossy. Facts abundantly proved by innumerable
testimonials, which are open for inspection at the Proprietors. It
preserves its virtues unimpaired by the change of climate, and is alike
in use from the frigid to the torrid zone—from the assemblies of St.
Petersburgh to those of Calcutta and the remote East.

For Children it is especially recommended as forming the basis of
Beautiful Head of Hair.

CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY.
Mr. MANNERS SUTTON rose to move that the Cam-
bridge and Lincoln Railway Bill be re-committed to the same
Committee (Group X.), and that it be an instruction to the
Committee, that they have power to take into consideration
whether the section deposited in the Private Bill Office may
not be amended, without injury to public or to private inte-
rests ; and that it be a further instruction to the said Corn •
mittee, that they have power to amend the said section, if on
inquiry they shall deem fit so to do. In bringing forward this
motion he did not mean to impugn, either Oi-
rectly or indirectly, the decision to which the
Committee had come, nor did he ask the House
to impugn that decision, or to withdraw its support, without
whirl it would be impossible for Committees to perform their
funetions,---( Hear, hear.) He would confine himself to situ-
ply stating
the facts of the case. No eoubt he sh,uld be -told

Bill had been presented in February, and had Wert referFetj

been opposed. The parties who promoted the Bill informed the
Standing Orders Committee of every thing they were aware in
which the standing orders hasl not been complied with.
.Tee Sub-
Committee reported hat the order.; had Net been complied with.
The petition was then referred to the Standing Orden (,9111),
ruittree. It was then also unopposed, and the promoters of the
Bill brought forward before the Committee all the errors of
which they were aware. The Standing Orders Committee
permitted the promoters of the Bill to alter two lines, and
reported to tke House that they ought t 9 be allowed to proceed
The Bill was then referred to die Coiornietep pitf PPR!' K.'
It was ascertained in that Committee that an error had been
introduced into the Bill as to the constructio, of one of the
sections of the line, as compared with the datum line. Ho
would not enter into discussion as to the character of that

asked them was to give to the Coniniitiee oe the Pl'
the power to inquire into those circumstances. When the
error was discovered in the Committee, the Committee
considered that the best course to pursue was, to decide

SANATORY REGULATIONS.

The Marquis of NORMANBY said that he had given notice
of a petition to be presented this evening on tlai'subject of
sanatory regulations, but before he proceeded to present it he
might mention a statement which had been put into his hand
connected with the same subject, and coming from a particular
body of men—the journeymen tailors of the metropolis. The
subject, he might add, had been greatly discussed in Man-
chester and Liverpool. It appeared from that statement
four-fifths of the clothes made in London were made in the
lower classes of dwelling-houses in the East-end. He (Lord
Normanby) had himself seen in houses of that character clothes
which were evidently not intended for the classes of persons
who were likely to visit in those places, and he believed
that they were made up for some of the West-end clothiers.
If the Noble Lord opposite would allow him, he should put
put a general question to the Noble Lord as to whether
the measure promised by her Majesty's Government was likely
to be•brought on in the other House. He should also wish to
ask a question with respect to places of recreation, and parti-
cularly with reference to that piece of ground near the Peni-
tentiary—a place not far removed from their L3rdships—
(Laughter)—and which he supposed might be applied to this
purpose.

Ihe Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that with respect to the
first question he believed it was the intention of his Noble
Friend in the other House (the Earl of Lincoln) to bring his
Bill forward that evening; and as regards the piece of ground
near the Penitentiary, it had been let some time
ago to Mr. Cubitt for 3001. a year, and according to the
provisions of the Act could not be diverted to another purpose.
London, England, 1845-06-17

ADELPHL

A piece de circonstance, from the pen of Charles Selby,
entitled Powder and Ball, was produced here last evening.
It is a broad qu'a upon the Bal Masque lately given at Buck-
ingham Palace, and is a regular screamer. The giver of the
Bat Poudre is a Mrs. Montgomerie Tibbs (Mrs. F. Mathews),
the wife of an eminent gaocer. Wright and Miss Woolgar,
habited a la Lucile Grahn and C2rito, danced the Minuet
de la Cour and Gavotte in the most rich style of broad caricature
imaginable, and scarcely have the roars of laughter subsided
before they are renewed with redoublod energy, by Wright asking
his partner, whether she will have any refreshment, such as a
horange or a hoyster, and recommending the latter, because it
will slip down the easiest. Add to thi!, that he sings an ad-
mirable parody on" Come gentil," and by way of showing
his respectability produces the envelope of his income-tax
paper, instead of his card, and all who enjoy a broad grin will
form some faint idea of the treat that is in store for them at
the Adelphi. The piece was perfectly successful, and both
Selby and Wright were called for at the conclusion.

Mr. Donnington appeared for the promoters; the petition was
opposed by Sir John Scarisbrook.
The allegatim.s were very numerous, and of the most trivial de-
scription. They all related to trifling omissions in the plan.
A number of these were gone into, and the Committee at last be.
gun W be impatient.
The CHAIRMAN said— Really these objections are very trifling.
If something more material cannot be gone into it is only wasting
the time of the Committee to continue these. Here is one in
which, by a defect on the lithographic stone, the tail of a nine has
been omitted. New, who could possibly be deceived or misled by

Mr. MACAUTAY, in cross-examination, asked this witness,
if he bad never signed a memorial to tke Midland Counties
hallway in favour of this line, strongly recommending the
station at the bridge as the best adapted for the wants of the
inhabitants of Stamford. Witness replied that he believed
he had, but he did so then because that line was the only one
before the public. In doing this,' however. he did not con-
sider it to. pledge.him to all the letails of that measure, so
as to shut out better information afterwards. He believed
that the opposition of the Marquis of Exeter to the present
line did not commence till after the signing of the memorial,
but that had not influenced him (the witness).
The CITAIRMAN—The great mass of the people are in fa-
vour of this railway, principally, because it is all impression of
theirs that if this line were successfully opposed they should
not get any other.
Mr. Phillips, mister, late Mayor -of Stamford, and a
tenant. of Lord Exeter, gave evidence in favour of
Mr. Giles's plan for the station. In his cross-examination
he admitted, however, there was no certainty of that
line going forward it the present were defeated.
At the last election excitement ran very high on the sub-
ject of the railway, and a s rong feeling was expressed by
many inhabitants against Sir G. Clerk, but he did not think
that that feeling was general.
Mr. Grant followed in a similar course, but without deve
loping any new point. In answer to a question, put by Mr.
Macaulay, he admitted having voted in the Town Council of
Stamford in favour of the present scheme, but he did so in
hi 3 official character, in deference to the feelings of the in-
habitants. His private sentiments were against it.
Mr. Lawrence, land surveyor, was of opinion that the
passing of this line through the valley and across the street
in Stamford was highly objectionable. He had never seen
anything like it before.
Mr. Hill, surveyor in Stamford, gave similar evidence
against the proposed crossing, and cited the case of one on
the old Warrington and Liverpool line, which had been
found very annoying to the people of Warrington. He also
considered that the lines passing through the valley would
interfere with the drainage, and cause flooding.
The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at twelve
o'clock, when the engineering evidence in support of the pe-
tition will be gone into.
