RAIL WAY COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
Sub-Committee (No. 1.)
The Committee, consisting of Mr. Strutt, Chairman,
V. Stuart, Mr. Compton, Mr. Beckett, and Mr. Cave3d
met in room No. 7 this morning.

The case was resumed this morning, and the Co?" the

number were sustained.
LYNN ANDY.
The Committee met this morning some time after Wel°
o'clock; Lord Palmerston in the chair.
The Committee proceeded to hear evidence on the 1381.1,.:it
the South Level and Eaubrink Commissioners. The '—
witness called was—
Josiah Human, who was examined by Mr. PAGILT. 0
evidence was to the- effect that the water of the Ouse irch

Very strong vibration, or an unequal pressure upon the ell.
bankments, would be injurious to those walls. No emheg
menu ought to be made within 100 feet of the Puddle sve"s*,,d
After this witness had given his evidence, it was egreid
between the parties that the engineers on both sides shofli.e
confer together, and come to some arrangement as to
distance at which the line of railway was to be carried Whic
would protect the embankments from injury.
Mr. Little, the superintendent of the works of the Pitt'
brink Commissioners, was then examined, and gave evide°l
of the same character with respect to the injury which vietl'a
accrue to the surrounding country, if any injury was doll._
to the cuts. The land in the neighbourhood of the Eaubrinii
is very valuable.

GROUP T.
This Committee, which has several projected railwsYs.„„
the Midland counties committed to its consideration, metwrA
day at twelve o'cLek ; Sir George Grey in the chair. The—
were five Members present.
The CHAIRMAN said they would take the London, Bed-
ford, and Birmingham first, as it was unopposed.
This is a branch line proposed to be formed from the to w°
of Bedford to connect it with the London and Birmingb,3ll
line. It has been favourably reported on by the Board
Trade.
Mr. BunKE appeared for the company, and called evidence
on their behalf to show the advantages that would result lot
Bedford4hire by this line, and that the standing orders lute
been complied with.
The Committee decied the preamble of the Bill t° /7e
proved, and then proceeded to the consideration of the clanseoPi
Clauses from 41 to 47, which have reference to the levying.
fares and tolls on the line, were postponed until the deci',.l°t
of the House was known respecting the rate of fares War
should be imposed on rail ways generally. Several ett,,e
clauses and amendments were agreed to, and the furth"
consideration of the Bill was adjourned.
THE PETERBOROUGH AND SYSTON RAILWA'
Mr. AUSTIN appeared in favour of this Bill, which has
been favourably reported on by the Board of Trade. 1; t
Learned Gentleman stated at some length the advantages that
would result to the inhabitants of the east coast by the con-
struction of this line. The engineering difficulties were very
few, and the prospect of a profitable return for the investroeut
of capital very great.

Mt. Ausnx objected to the reception of the latter petition,
itsbeing irregular, as the parties ought to have appeared in
their own name.
Mr. Sergeant Wrialloitast replied at some length, on the
other side, in which he endeavoured to show that the two

The Committee decided against receiving the petition in
Lac name of "John Parsons," and the consideration of the
Bill was then formally gone into.
HUDDERSFIELD AND SHEFFIELD JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
The further consideration of this railway was tal:en before
M. Barneby and the Committee on Group C, this day, at
twelve o'clock.
WHATELEY stated, Mr. Cope was anxious to correct a
,`",_latake into which he had fallen yesterday, with respect toels '0 radius within which he had estimated the carriage of
coa.
lilt. COPE stated that the radius was one of three miles,
and not one mile, as he had said yesterday • that the whole
Mount of the revenue from coals would be in his estima-
tion 19,2804 17s. Bd., that the whole quantity of coal he
calculated would be 4 01,000 tons, but the net quantity was
219,572 tons.
kr. Hall, engineer to the Huddersfield Canal Company,
kated that one of the chief feeders was the Flockton coal-
the di-tance of which f'iom the Manchester and Leeds
ocktonw;s. about a mile and a half, that the
„„ field was the main source for which
-..i_ilidersfield Was supplied, and that there was no means by
Which the market at Huddersfield could be supplied without
considerable laense and loss of time.
thefrom Mr. TEMPLE, Mr. Hall explained that
'at Riding Junction Railway did rot afford sufficient
$ll-,,,,en!ence ; that the quantity of coals carried on the
toe-ZesaY Canal from the Silkestone coal-field was 82,000
Ur, and that this was the only communication be-
y een the Silkestone coal-field and Huddersfield, which
o,rt. circuitous, and the places too distant from each
eri that the tolls were ls. Id. per ton, and that the haulage
aat_generally double that amount.
:rrePlY to a question from the Chairman,
4.t7i. • WiiaTELEY said that the total coat of carriage by the
sclvaY would be Is. sd. per ton, including every expense of
oA ay rates and locomotive power, except putting the coal
binue line and taking it off.
riefly to Mr. Whatele,y,
ders all stated `.:nat the distance by canal to Hod-
fi
