DurtitAm AND SUNDERLAND.—On Monday the proprie-
tors of this undertaking met, pursuant to adjournment, in
the Commisioner3' -room at the Exchange-buildings, Sunder-
land. Mr. C. Bramwell, Chairman of the Directors, presided,
but in consequence of the offer made by Mr. Hudson, on
behalf of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway C:nn-
pany, to purchase the line, and a special meeting
having been called for the 3d of :November, to
consider the expediency of accepting. that offer, the
companv separated without transacting any busi-
ness. Much inquiry has-been made as to what will be done
respecting the new 401. shares issued last year for making
the extension to Bishop Auckland, and improving the main
line. It is stated, in well-informed circles, that should Mr.
Hudson purchase the railway, the new shares will be called
in, and the deposit money of 2/. each, with interest, paid
to the holders of the scrip. A rumour prevails in the
town, that a formidable opposition will be raised amongst the
shareholders to selling the line at 301., or even 33/. 6s. 8d
per share.
It is proposed, we understand, to carry the London and
Manchester Direct from Battle-bridge to Farringdon-street,
on the atmospheric system, so as to obviate the inconvenience
of noise and smoke. _ _ _

The heading in the Kingston-hill Tunnel, on the Brighton,
Lewes, and Hastings line, has been carried through during
the past week.
Arrangements, it is understood, are in course. of completion
between the Great Eastern and Western, who propose to run
a line on the broad gauge from Yarmouth to Swansea, with
another powerful company already established on the broad
gauge system, for providing complete railway accommodation
to the entire south of Wales. A deputation, headed by Mr.
Ward, M.P., is now en route for Wales, with the view of ex-
plaining the advantages of the line to the ironmasters and
mineral merchants of district.

LIAM JOHN NELIGAN,E94I.-

Resolved,—That the contemplated railway called the Great Mun-
ster Railway demands the wannest and strongest support of the
nobility, gentry, and people of the county of Kerry, and particularly
of this town, being calculated to confer national as well as local
advantages, and completing, as it will, the direct communication
between Tralee, Limerick, and Dublin. It is, therefore, entitled to
our decided support.

SCOTCH LINES.

DUNDEE AND STRITIWIORE JUNCTION.—The Directors of
the Dundee and Perth, and Dundee and Newtyle, have come
to the following arrangements for improving the Newtyle
line:-1. The Dundee and Perth Railway Company agree to
lease the Dundee and Newtyle Railway and works and plant
in perpetuity, and thereupon to guarantee to the present
shareholders of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway an annual
dividend of one per cent. upon the amount of their capital
stock, not exceeding 115,000/. 2. That the capital of the
Dundee and Strathmore. Junction Railway shall be 100,0001.,
divided into shares of 251. each. 3. That 1,000 shares of the
stock of the said company shall be placed at the disposal of the
Directors of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway Company, and
the remainder of the shares shall be placed at the disposal of
the Directors of the Dundee and Perth Railway Company.
4. That the new line shall be worked by the Dundee and
Perth Railway Company, at a rate to be fixed upon by a
neutral party, mutually chosen by the Directors of the Dun-
dee and Perth and Dundee and Newtyle Railway CoMpanies.
5. That after deducting the guaranteed rate of one per cent.
on the stock of the Dundee and Newtyle Railway Company,
and the working expenses, sec., the balance of the free
revenue shall be applied, in the first place, in paying a
dividend of six per cent. to the holders of the new stock;
and in the second place the surplus shall be divided amongst
the holders of the original stock of the Dundee and Newtyle
Railway. 6. That early meetings of the shareholders of the
Dundee and Perth, and Dundee and Newtyle Railway Corn •
panies, shall be called for receiving the reports of the Directors
of the respective companies in regard to the present arrange.
ments, and fur confirming the same.
ABERDEENSHIRE CANAL.—Arrangements, we understand,
are now completed for the purchase of this canal by the pro-
moters of the Great North of Scotland Railway. This ac-
quisition will be of great importance to that undertaking;
while the district, hitherto accommodated by the canal, will
have no reason to regret the substitution of a railway for all
their present or prospective wants.
EDINBURGH, QUEINSFERRY, AND PERTH.—At a meeting
of the trustees of the Queensferry, held on Saturday, it was
unanimously agreed to lease the ferry to this railway com-
pany for ninety. nine • years, at the nominal rent of five shil-
lings, upon the condition of their taking all the debts and
re,ponsibilities of the trust. Two branches or extensions, in
addition to the line as originally planned, are intended to be
included in the Bill; one to go round the west side of Loch
Leven, keeping the towns of Kinross and Milnathort on the
main line, and the other from South. Queensferry to Ratho,
on the line of the Edinburgh and Glasg. w. At this point, it
is understood, the Caledonian Railway will join it, and
thereby secure a direct passage to the north, besides that by
the Scottish Central, wear Falkirk.

LATEST NEWS.

SUN-OFFICE, Quarter past Three.

Report says that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S resignation
was received by her MAXESTY without hesitation,
although Sir ROBERT PEEL'S line of intended policy
would have had her MAJESTY'S warm support. Lord
JOHN RUSSELL was at once sent for; but, as the
Noble Lord is at present in Edinburgh, some days
must elapse before he can obey the summons. Par-
liament cannot now meet so early as was expected;
and upon the course taken by Sir ROBERT PEEL, will
depend the prospect of a dissolution. It is believed
that Sir ROBERT Will support Lord JOHN RUSSELL
in his general policy. The Premier was almost alone
in his views in his own Cabinet.

ilVe understand that, in consequence of the resig-
nation of Ministers, her MAJESTY will leave Osborne
House on Saturday next, in order to be in nearer
communication with those who are to become her
NEW ADVISERS.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
(THIS DAY.)
A Court of Common Council was held in the Guild-
hall this day,
for the purpose, among other business, of
considering the propriety of petitioning her Majesty to take
all such means as she may constitutionally possess for
throwing open the ports of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain end Ireland for the free importation of food.
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor took the chair at two
o'clock.
[We shall give a full report of the meeting in our
Third Edition.]
London, England, 1845-12-11

QUALIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE COURT.

Mr. EDKINS brought up the report of a Committee to
whom had been referred the consideration of the resolu-
tion of the Court passed the 14th of January, 1716, as
to the qualification of members of the Court, and to re-
port in what way the resolution could be altered and
amended. The report stated that the resolution in
question provided that no person should be capable of
tilling the office of Common Councilman who at the time
of his election was not a householder within the ward for
which he was chosen. The charter of Edward 111. em-
powered the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty, to pro-
vile a remedy for every custom or usage of ther City that
might in practice be found to be defective. The report
went on to state; that no doubt existed as to the true de-
finition of the term "householder." The Committee
were of opinion that a declaratory Bill removing such
doubts, and stating that by the laws, usages, and customs
of the City, every freeman occupying a house, summon-
able on juries, arid paying scot and bearing lot, should
he eligible to the office of Common Councilman, be
brought in to this Court. Mr. Edkins concluded by
moving, " That the Court do agree with the Committee
in their report."

Mr. ANDERTON hoped that the Bill would be brought
in without delay, and come in force before next St.
Thomas'-day.
Mr. R. TAYLOR suggested that it would be better to
refer the matter back to the Committee, with instructions
to prepare and bring in the Bill.
Mr. DE JERSEY said the subject was too important
to be hurried over in a post-haste manner. The report
ought to be printed, and its further consideration ad-
journed.
Mr. Enaris said, as it would be impossible to pre-
pare the Bill before St. Thomas'-day, he would acquiesce
in Mr. De Jersey's suggestion.
The report was accordingly ordered to be printed and
sent to every member of the Court, and its further con-
sideration was adjourned.
The election of an under-beadle for the coal-market
was proceeded with. For the office there were three
candidates, but the choice fell on Mr. Joseph Stacey by
a large majority.
Some routine business was then disposed of, and the
Court adjourned.

OF IRON IN DIScoVERYW .—A seam

------'---
ESTMORELAND
of iron ore, about seven yards in thickness, has been dis-
covered,more Fells, Westmoreland. The deep rocky channel in
by an influential company
which it was found, extends along a ridge of mountains east-
ward for some miles. The quality of the ore has been tested,
and proved to be of the most ductile description. A stratum
of hard limestone rock, nearly five feet thick, lays between
the soil and the ore. The projected York and Carlisle and
Lancaster and Newcastle lines both pass within a very short
distance.— Carlisle Journal.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Henry Edwards who stated himself to have been for
merly an actor at the Garrick Theatre, was charged
berore Mr. Bingham with causing a serious disturbance
at what is called the Free Church," in White's-row,
Spitalfields.

The Rev. George Montgomery West, who said he was
the ordained minister of the church ha question, appeared
as the complainant.
Mr. BINGHAM asked him if it was a church of the
established religion? to which he replied that it was not
at present under episcopal jurisdiction, but was regularly
licensed, and the service performed in it was that of the
Church of England.
The complainant then proceeded to state that the de-
fendant was known as a prominent member of a body of
professed infidels, who occupy a building in White-
chapel, denominated " The Hall of Science," which he
said was regularly used for the propagation of their

BOW-STREET.

Mrs. Jane Cook, the wife of a tailor residing in Far-
ringdon-street, appeared on a summons before Mr. Twy-
ford to answer a complaint preferred against her by a
young man, named Bond, for having assaulted him
under the following singular circumstances :
The complainant stated that be resided at 21, Regent-
villas, Avenue-road, Regent's-park, and is a private
gentleman. On Monday last, about one o'clock, he was
coming out of the Insolvent Debtors' Court,:in Portugal-
street, accompanied by a tipstatf from the Queen's Bench
Prison, and being told previous to his coming down stairs
that the defendant was waiting to speak to him, he sent
down word there was no use in her seeing him on the
matter she came about, as they could come to no agree-
ment. Shortly after, on his getting to a room on the
first floor, defendant flew at him, and having kicked him
behind, struck him also with her fist, for which she was
taken into custody, but being in the custody of the tip-
sts h
tip-
staff, he had no opportunity of following up the charge,
as be was compelled to return to the Queen's Bench
Prison instead of attending at the station-house in the
character of a complainant.
Mark Bond, a teacher of languages, and brother of the
complainant, having confirmed the foregoing statement.
The complainant said, in answer to the Court, that the
defendant's husband agreed to accept of 10s. in the
pound on an account that was between them, and for
which a receipt was given in full, which seemed not to
have satisfied the defendant, who persevered in insisting
that a balance was still due:

IV•••.. ...
Mr. TWYFORD inquired how the complainant was
enabled to attend, if he was still a prisoner in the Queen's
Bench ?

The complainant's brother replied that he had been
discharged in the morning, and was about to leave town.
In answer to the charge, Mrs. Cook said, that about

MR. BRAHAM'S CONCERTS.

The announcement that Braham was to give a concert
at the St. James's filled the theatre in every part last
evening long before the commencement of the perform-
ances. Braham himself, who was in excellent voice and
spirits, and sang as well as he ever did in his life, gave
us the •: Deeper and deeper still." and " Waft her,
ingels," from the orotorio of Jephtha, " The Death of
Nelson," a new duet entitled the " Volunteer's
departure," with his son, Mr. Hamilton Braltana.
(admirably given by both artists), " Molly Bawn," for
which, on a call for its repetition, he substituted " The
Miniature" and " The Bay of Biscay, oh." But this
was not all. The gem of the evening we have yet to
mention. He sang Handel's song, " Gentle Airs," accom-
panied by Lindley on the violincello. On hearing this de-
lightful air our thoughts wandered back to days gone by,
when in the musical world, at least, there were
" giants." Braham uud•Lindley are the last of their race,
let us make much of them while we yet have them, for,
go when they may," We ne'er shall look upon their like
again." Messrs. Ckarles and Hamilton Braham are
both much improved since last season. The latter gave
Balfe's song, " W hen time has bereft thee," admirably, and
well deserved the applause with which he was rewarded.
Miss Maria B. Hawes was deservedly encored in the
song " Ere infancy's bud," from Alchul's oratorio of
Joseph, which she sang with great taste and feeling.
She also sang Moore's delightful melody "The harp
that once through Tara's halls," with exquisite expres-
sion atid pathos, and gave Balfe's ballad, "Then you'll
remember me," with more taste, power, and expres-
sion, than has ever yet been infused into it.
She completely devulgarized it ; and Balfe is
under great obligations to her for having raised this
ballad to the dignity of the concert.room. In her hands
it became quite a new and very beautiful song. Miss
Hobbs was encored in Knight's song, "Pretty Dove,"
and Miss Cubitt was much applauded in " Homage to
Charlie." The Misses Williams were also there, and of
course sung as they have done at every concert, for, we
will not venture to say how many seasons, Ilatton's duet,
" Two merry gay laughing Fairies."

CrTY ALTERATIONS.-CLERK OF THZ WORKS.

Mr. R. TAYLOR drew the attention of the Court to the
resolution passed in 1837, requiring the Clerk of the
Works to report to the first Court held after the 25th of
March to 29th of September, in each year, the return, if
any, of works performed at the Mansion-house, Guildhall,
the City Prison, with the expenses thereof ; and, se-
condly, that no alterations or repairs ibe undertaken by
the Clerk of the Works, until an estimate of the ex-
penses thereof had been reported to, and sanctioned by,
this Court. Notwithstanding these orders, certain alte-
rations were now proceeding, at a cost, he understood,
of between 3,000/. and 4,0001., on the Giltspur-street
Compter, without any estimate having been reported to,
or sanctioned by, the Court of Common Council. The
outlay was the more surprising, because the Court of
Aldermen had already reported that the Giltspur-street
Compter was unfit for a correctional prison. Under
these circumstances, he now moved that the Clerk of the
Works be called up and interrogated as to the authority
under which he was proceeding.
Mr. HARRISON seconded the motion, and after some
conversation the Clerk of the Works appeared at the
table, and in answer to questions put by Mr. Taylor,
and other members of the Court, stated that he had pro.
ceeded with the works at the Compter under the autho-
rity of the Court of Aldermen, and that the expenditure
thereon would be reported to the Court in his annual
reports.
After some further conversation, Mr. R. Taylor ex-
pressed his intention to bring the subject under the con-
sideration of the next Court, and the matter dropped for
the present.
