NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW BAZAAR.-
The Council of the League having determined upon holding
a Bazaar in the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, London, in aid of the
One llundred Thousand Pounds Fund, beg to announce that it will
OPEN on TlitntaDAT, May 8, for exhibition, and that on the succeed-
ing :Monday, the 12th of May, the sale of articles will commence.
Many of the large manufacturing towns having intimated that they
intend to furnish their stalls with articles illustrative of their staple
manufacture, such contributions will not be removed at the period of,
sale, bat remain on view till the close of the Bazaar.
Contributions may be forwarded. from the 15th of April to the Ist
of May, addressed to George Wilson, Esq., Chairman, at the Theatre
Royal Covent-garden, London, where all the requisite arrangements
will be made for their reception.
As the inquiry is repeatedly made as to whether the articles sent to
the Bazaar should have the prices affixed by the contributors, or by
the Committee of Management in London, it is respectfully requested
that, wherever practicable, the contributors themselves will affix
their own prices to the articles according to the known cost of the
raw materials, and the additional value given by the labour subse-
quently expended upon them.

Upon application, the Council will bo happy to forward to any of
the Local Committees, or individuals, who are preparing contribu-
tions, labels, on which may be placed the description of the article—
the price—and the name of the contributor.

The Council also would earnestly urge upon their friends in the
smaller towns and rural districts, where, from a variety of causes, it
may not be practicable to obtain contributions in the shape of manu-
factured goods, or articles of taste or fancy, that efforts should be
made to collect money contributions, and forward them before the Ist
of May, as Bazaar purses in aid of the League Fund.
Such of the Local Committees as intend to furnish a stall, are
earnestly recommend to communicate with the Council without delay.
Full particulars of the general arrangements will appear shortly.
By order of the Council,

S[I3IAIARY.

Mr. LABOUCHERE thought that the House ought to
uphold the decision of the Committee.
Sir G. GREY thought that the Great Western should have
an independent line as well as the Brighton Company.
Sir G. CLERK supported the decision of the Board of
Trade in opposition to that of the Committee.
Sir T. WILDE, as representing the interests of the people
of Worcester, supported the broad gauge line.
Sir GEORGE CLERK explained that the Board of Trade
had distinctly pointed out to the Great Western Company the
objections to the change of gauge, and that it was not until
a full hearing that the Board of Trade had decided.
Mr. WARD denied that he was operated on either by
personal canvass or by private interest. He had nothing to do
with either of the Companies, but he considered that a question
so large ought not to be decided incidentally by a Committee,
but by the Legislature at large.
Sir T. ACLAND thought that if the question of gauges
were to be taken up, it should be taken up gravely ; but it
was not fair to take it up now upon the question
of this particular railway. The question regard-
ing the railway had been referred to the Committee,
and the House would pay the Committee a very ill-
compliment if they mow raised the question of gauges
to throw the decision of the Committee over. Why
had they not raised this question of the gauges on the Basing-
stoke Bill, when the broad gauge abutted upon the narrow
gauge ?

Sir R. PEEL thought that has a general rule the Minis-
ters of the Crown ought to abstain from interfering in questions
of this sort. He would exercise no influence to support the report of
the Board of Trade, or to support the decision of the Committee.
He would give his opinion merely judicially. The Com-
mittee had been presided over by a Right Hon. Friend
of his who had been used to judicial investigation,
and looking to all the circumstances of the case his epinion was
that it would not be wise in the House to overrule the decision
of that Committee. —( Loud cheers. )

Hon. Colonel Grey, and Major General Wemyss, followed in

Her Majesty and Prince Albert were conducted to their

Hon. Misses Paget and Liddell, Lord Rivers, Lord George
Lennox, Mr. R. Ormsky Gore. and Major-General Sir Ed-
ward Bowater.

The Royal party left the railway terminus by a special train

WEST INDIES.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Forth, Captain Chapman, arrived
at Southampton last night, from the West Indies, with mails from
Jamaica to the 25th of May, Hayti 27th, St. Thomas 31st, anl
from the Windward Islands and Guiana from the 18th to the 30th
of May inclusive. The crop of sugar is nearly completed, and
presents in all the colonies an average amount. In Jamaica
nearly the whole of the crops were in, and exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the planters. The fine season was
much in their favour, and there is no doubt that the
amount will be over 60,000 tons. The prospect for the future,
too, it appears, is good. The Island was generally
healthy, but when the packet left on the 24th ult., the heavy rains
had just commenced. The Blundell, with 260 hill coolies, had
arrived ; they were all in excellent health and spirits, and
appeared to enjoy the change. Lord Elgin had taken a great
interest in the matter, and had located them in large numbers, to
give the system a fair trial. The whole of her Majesty's troops
stationed in the island were in a healthy state.
The Forth brings on freight 926 doubloons, 869 ounces of silver,
988 ounces of geld dust, 241 barrels of ginger, 631 b. of platina, 300/.
worth of pearls, besides 43 packages of succeades, arrowroot, &c.

COWES, JUNE 19.—Her Majesty, Prince Albert,
and suite, arrived at Osborne, in the royal yacht this day. It
being near high water, the royal party landed on the beach, in
front of the house. About a hundred workmen have been em.
ployed laying in foundations, &c., till yesterday, when the work
was stopped. It is expected it will remain so till after her Ma-
jesty's departure from the island. It is generally believed that
the alterations that have been commenced are so extensive that it
will take two years to complete them. The fleet at Portsmouth
consists of eight sail of the line and two frigates, all which manned
yards and saluted her Majesty as the yacht passed.—From our Cor-
respondent.
THE QUEEN'S ACCESSION.—This day being the an-
niversary of her Majesty's accession to the throne in 1837, the
Park and Tower guns were fired, and flags displayed from most
of the churches and public buildings in the metropolis.
Nothing could have been more to the farmers'
wishes than the weather has been since our last. The appearance
of everything in this neighbourhood has improved very much, and
the crops of hay and straw promise to be abundant. A little hay
has been stacked in excellent order, but though mowing is now
pretty general, haymaking is hardly so; and if the weather proves
st.o,-)aid. Wul t,e wea agaLit Lill. year. A tew
young pieces of turnips look well, and we hear very little complaint
of the fly.—Brighton Gazette.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

-
Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat of home produce have
been moderate, chiefly from Lincolnshire. The number of
samples offering to-day was by no means large, yet the de-
mand was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices. Fo-
reign Wheat was extremely dull, but not cheaper. Grinding
Barley was quite as dear, but other kinds were a mere drug.
In Malt very little was doing, at late rates. Oats,:Beans,
and Peas, moved off steadily, at stationary figures.

GLOUCESTEIZ AND BRISTOL ILAILIVAY.

(No. 2.)

Mr. Wilam.Ey appeared for this Bill, which was for the purpose
of altering, amending, and enlarging the powers of the Company,
so as to give it the opportunity of entering into new arrangements
with several companies. The Learned Gentleman stated that the
Company had just made an amalgamation with the Birmingham and
Gloucester Railway, so as to run their trains in conjunction ; and,
in order to effect this in a proper manner, and also to allow of
proper arrangements being made with several other companies that
were connected with it.

Mr. John Sanders, Secretary to the Birmingham and Gloucester
Railway, proved the amalgamation to have taken place, and the
expediency of the proposed leasing.
Mr. AUSTIN, on the part of the Great Western Company,
sought only justice. A great portion of the Gloucester
and Bristol line was made by the Great Western Com-
pany, and an agreement for leasing had been signed by
the secretaries of the respective companies. He wanted that
agreement to be honourably carried out. A lease of 999
years was in fact a fee that the present lease was to enable
the Gloucester and Bristol to sell to a hostile company. If this was
attempted to be persevered in, he would oppose the preamble of
the Bill. His object was to recognise the agreement,
not as a legal one, but an honourable one. The
Birmingham and Gloucester were under the control of the Midland
Counties, who were hostile to the Great Western, whereas a
lease of 99 years, under which the interests of all companies would
be consolidated, was what was required.
Mr. DANIEL considered the opposition unjustifiable. The
agreement rested on by the Great Western was one amongst
twenty similar ones, and ought not to have the preference; for, in
point of fact, it was worth nothing.
The room was then cleared, and the Committee, after a short
deliberation, decided that the interests of the Great Western
Company should be protected by a clause recognising the agree-
ment which had been disputed.
The preamble of the Bill was then declared proved.
The clauses were then gone through and passed, with the excep.
tion of the third clause, with amendments, which was left open for
conbideration until Monday.
The Committee then separated.

MIDLA.ND 11.0.31LWAY (NOTTINGHAM TO

LINCOLN).
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The parties were called in about three o'clock, and were
informed by the Chairman that the preamble of the Bill
was declared proved. The Committee had, however, come
to a decision binding the promoters to introduce a clause
into the Bill which would prevent the line crossing the
Flood road on a level. The Committee would meet the difficulty
of the proposed crossing by requiring the parties to construct a
bridge over the railway at the point where it would interfere with
the road in question. The Committee regretted that anything
like an impediment should be thrown in the way of a line so im-
portant to the traffic of the country ; but they were bound to see
that the railway should be constructed with safety to the public.
The unopposed clauses were then gone through, and the Com-
mittee adjeurned till eleven o'clock tomorrow.
COIVIIVLITTEE 011 UNOPPOSED HILLS.
The Committee on unopposed Billsmet this day at three o'clock,
Lord Shaftesbury in the chair.

The following Bills were taken up and declared to have passed
through Committee :—The Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Rail.
way, and the Eastern Counties Railway (Ely to Whittlesca De-
viation).

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP A.
SOUTH-EASTERN (DOVER) LINE.

This morning the Committee resumed the consideration of the
above line at the usual hour. The first witness called was—

Mr. Thomas L. Gooch, engineer, and assistant to Mr. Stephenson
as engineer to the South-Eastern line, who gave evidence against the
North Kent and in favour of the South-Eastern line, lioth of
which he had examined. The latter would give greater accommo-
dation to the mass of metropolitan travellers to and from the town
of Woolwich. He was quite satisfied of the insufficiency of
Mr. Vignolles' estimates, which were too small by more than
700,0001., no less than 1,960,000/. being required, instead of

1,200,0001.
Mr. Sergeant Shea then cross-examined the witness as to the
number of level crossings on the South-Eastern line. These, it ap.
peared, were much more numerous than on the North Kent. There
was great danger of accidents where a railway crossed a highway on
a level; but careful watching would tend greatly to remove the
danger. Oa the Manchester and Leeds line there was a level
crossing which was watched night and day by a man and his wife,
who were paid about fifty pounds per annum. At this place, he
believed, one accident, with loss of life, had occurred, but he had
not heard of any others. Such accidents had happened on other
railways, but they were very few.
Being cross-examined by Mr. MELIOR, the witness stated that

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.-DRY GAS METERS.

DEFRIES'S DRY METERS havesucce;fully
stood the test o six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Cleb-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, axd which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the gas company and consumers.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters,

consumers can be had on application (or will be forwarded by post),
