RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(YESTERDAY.)

Group X.

The Committee on this group re-assembled this morning in
room No. 8, which is a larger and more convenient room than the
one in which the Committee assembled yesterday.

Of the proceedings in the Committee yesterday, of course, we
know nothing, the ',porters having been excluded.
At the sitting of the Committee this morning Captain Gossett
made arrangements for the accommodation of the reporters.
EXCLUiION OF THE REPORTERS YESTERDAY.

Shortly after the Committee assembled this morning they re-
tired and remained in consultation with Mr. Creed, the Committee
Clerk, for about ten minutes. On their return into the Committee-
room,

Lord COWITENAY (the Chairman) addressing the assembled crowd
in the body of the room, said—l am requested by the Committee,
before we go in to the business of the day, to say that, biotin g
observed certain paragraphs in the morning newspapers which lead
us to think that some misconception existed as to the authority
under which Mr. Creed acted, in the steps he took in reference to
clearing the room yesterday, without going at all into the subject,
we think it due to our Committee Clerk to state that whatever
steps he took were in pursuance of the express directions of the
members of the Committee as a whole, and that they were such as
the Committee deemed necessary yesterday, in consequence of the
exceedingly crowded state of the room, and many of those having
business here being seriously inunvenienced.
This of course makes the matter worse. The Chairman has ac.
knowledge(' that he excluded the press from the room, as they had
no business there, for this is the natural and only inference to be
drawn from the concluding sentence of the Chairman's explanation
this morning. With respect to his Lordship's declaration that the
room was crowded to the inconvenience of persons hav-
ing business there, we can only say, that the places
which had been occupied by the reporters at the sitting
of the Committee remained unoccupied after they had
left them. The room, after the second clearance, was not incon-
veniently crowded, but was capable of holding at least fifty persons
more than it then contained. The manner of Creed was most of.
fensi( e, and he suggested the clearing of the room, by saying to
Lord Courtenay, " I think, my Lord, you had better clear the
room," to which Lord Courtenay nodded assent.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM applied for a Speaker's warrant to
compel the attendance of a person named Harvey, who had re-
fused to attend before the Committee.—Ordered.

The CHAIRMAN said the Committee would take that opportunity
of stating that as at present advised they did not mean to sit on
Eaturday In the event of the investigation not terminating before
NVhitsuntide, they meant to adjourn from the Friday in the week
preceding‘Vhit-Sunday for as long a period as the House shall ad.
journ for.

The Committee then proceeded with the clauses in the Ely and
Whittlesea Deviation Railway Bill.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.

Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM opened the case for the promoters of
this line. He entered into a detail of the course that the line is
intended to take. The whole length of the line with branches was
between 327 miles and 328 milts. The main line from London to
York Was 185 miles, and the line which was called the loop, from
Peterborough to Bawtry, was 86 miles. The Wakefield branch
was i 9, the Sheffield Branch 21 miles, the Stamford Branch 4%
miles, and the branch to Bedford, from a place called Potten, north
of Biggleswade, 7% miles. The space that the proposed railway
would accommodate was nearly 4,500 square miles, con..
taining 2,840,000 acres of the most productive part
of the kingdom. The annual amount of produce of
this portion of the country was six millions and a half.
This was the amount exported, and the amount imported
was 4,300,000!. a year, thus making the traffic on both 10,800,080/.
The present cost of conveyance was, for exports 440,000/. a year,
and imports 720,000/., making together 160,000/. This line
would be the means of reducing the 444,0001. to 180,0001., and
720,000/. to 350,000/. This was for goods traffic alone. The amount
for passengers paid now was about 435,0001. a year, and this cam
would be reduced by the construction of the present Hue to
185,000!., being a saving of 250,000!., or a total saving of
880,000!., or equal to a saving of 245, for every man, woman,
and child, rich and poor, young and old, residing in the districts.
The Learned Counsel was proceeding with: his speech when
the Speaker was announced to be at prayers, and the Committee
adjourned till to.mortow.

Group B.
The Committee re-assembled at the usual hour this morning.
LEEDS AND DEWSBURY LINE.

Mr. BusEs intimated that an agreement had been made between
the Leeds and Manchester Company and the Leeds and Hudders-
field Company respecting the line between Leeds and Dewsbury,
which would render that scheme an unopposed line.
