thi:`aken for the north-west light-ship. In a report on

1)l ➢ were of opinion there were some grounds for corn•
tea Under these circumstances the subject was

WATETt ENQIIIIIY.—An appendix to the patri-
ite,‘ reporting the proceedings of the Committee of the
4tielluway Board (which we noticed last week), has since
;41, published, containing the proceedings of the twelfth
44.°1 the enquiry. The Chairman read a letter from
liartnnoti Banner, dated sth instant, in which he

Nttneton Company, that these gentlemen regretted
"re not invited, in the first instance, to the inquiry,
tteuch information might have been given upon the

conversation took place relative to admitting the

et,,,e committee all along contemplated their being ad-

kt,iterl°llght proper. In fact Mr. Banner was repeatedly
tlttit' by letter, to attend before the enquiry closed.

i4ttoed all idea, in the course adopted, of prejudicing
