If that lritletit*Oer "" 7 :Ar of conduct pursued by railway companies in at/- separate and individual capacity, what will they not do when amalgamated ? If the purse of the North- Western can weary out any ordinary litigant, who _ can make bead against the sixty millions of the proposed amalgamators ? If the North-Western de clines carrying goods from Birmingham to London under a certain rate, there is the Great Western ready to "do business at a lower figure ; " but, if these two amalgamate, and there be no third line on that road, pray what chance hes the public? We do not conjure up more imaginary evils, or hypothetical difficulties. The iniquities of the future are rendered absolutely certain by the frauds of the past. Rail ways have never reduced their fares but to starve out competition,. or run rivals off the road. Whenever that end has been accomplished the fares have been raised. Already they have become steam-boat pro prietors ; and are now so extensively engaged in the business of coal merchants, that a great many persons in that line are compelled to retire from the trade. When they have added that monopoly to that of car riage, in what state will the public be ? They will next undertake to he fishmongers, organizing a quick transit for all perishable food, and, by means of their proposed steam system with the North of Europe, they may monopolize the great shell-fish trade from Denmark, Norway, &c. Without scruple or hesi tation thy have bought up canals, and become water carriers by deliberate misappropriation of the capital raised purely for construction of railways ; and they are at once the creatures of Acts of Parliament, and above the law to which they solely owe their exist ence. We regret to see that the public are led away from the consideration of their gravest delin quencies by venal and compel atively trivial ladies. It is quite true that railways are unpunctual, and that their servants are careless, or too few in number pro• perly to secure the safety of passengers. It is also true that punctuality and safety are perfectly practic able, and compatible with the 'best interests of the proprietors. We may recur to that subject on a fu ture occasion; but we desire to arouse the public to the far more imminent peril which must follow the monopoly of amalgamation, which at once destroys emulation, deprives the people of the alternatives of fered by competition, and so consolidates the vast power of these leviathan companies as to threaten to invest them with authority and social influence too great to be resisted by even Government or Parlia ment. If the London Merchants' Goods Traffic Committee is not strong enough to grapple with this huge abuse, it is high time some great association, on some broader and more popular basis, were established. Parliament is about to meet—amalgamation powers u-iti et nnt'e be applied for—the public, as such, have no locus stanch, us lawyers term the right to appear in committee to oppose the companies—the House of Commons must be moved, and at once, by public meetings and petitions, or else—the steed will be stolen before the stable-door can be locked. . _ II 0T AL SWEDISH RAILWAY' COMPANY. __ I NOTICE IS HEREBY (:I V EN.

Jones, member of the Corporatian of Lon don, wrote in 1840 to the Dake of Wellington, to whom he had the honour of being known from the time of the commencement cf the operations for the building of London-bridge, upon the subject of removing the postern upon Tower-hill, in order to effect a free passage to the docks, and supersede the necessity of convoying the traffic through Fonchurch•street. The following is the Duke's answer : " Strathfieldasye, Dec. 19, 1840. "My dear Sir,—l have really nothing to say to, and do not like to interfere in, the communications of the city of London. " As Constable of the Tower, I am bound to take oare that the defences of the fortress and its works are not injured or interfered with ; as Lord-Lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets, I must attend to the complaints of thc.se of the inhabitants of that district who may think that their interests are likely to bo injyrei by any projected alteration ; in other respects I have no more right to give an opinion than any other member of the commu nity. It' you will be so kind 2s to state in detail what the plan of improvement is which you have in contem plation in the Tower Hamlets, and the neighbourhood of the Tower, I will refer the same to the officers of the Tower, and the acting engineer there, and will apprise you of the resu:t. " I have tho honour to be, my dear Sir, hb u ry.park, " To Richard Lambert Jones, Esq., Hig " Your most faithful humblels4eLrlvNanGt.TON. London." Mr. Jones, having wr ittcu an explanatory letter to the Duke, received an assuranc e from his Grace that ho could see no objection to the improvement suggested, end recommended an applic3,tion to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, with whom Mr. Jones accord ingly communicated, and from whom ho was favoured with positive promises from time , to time of performance, which haae, however, never taken place, al hough the enormous increase of traiil which has occurred since the correspondence took place has greatly increased the /necessity.

In Eliza's Cook's Journal of " Lines written at Kensall-green Cemetry," hos induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of "Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Anual," from the lis of all classes. For many ear he cheered our n Christmas firesides with racy hansom, that a ne ever wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its eoarseness. Far and wide was ho known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development o f his genius and tho nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be found without the help of a grave-yard servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in tee living and due to the dead. For the furthering of this design, the following gentlemen, mem bers of the Whitting`t,Nl Club, have formed themselves into a Com mittee : Mr. J. Balfour Mr. R. W. Roberts Mr. Campbell Clarke Mr. W. Strudwicke Mr. Edward Copping Mr. H. Roscoe St. John Mr. J. Passmore Edwards Mr. George Waller Mr. 11. C. Maguire Mr. John Watkins, and Mr. C. S. Middleton Mr. G. W. Yapp. At the request of these gentlemen, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the Lund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary. Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the office of Eliza Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook, 54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins, 34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other e qually flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualitied adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Speruaa torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of he subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18.18112.

Lord Brougham the other from Lord Denman,will be found v in another part, of this paper, both dealing with much earnestness 'with the interesting subject of law re form. Tha first, as befits the writer, deals with a great variety of questions. The improvement of the patent law, the abolititm,of the office of Master in Chancery, the admission of barristers to practise without an attorney in the County Courts, the digest ref the' criminal law, the propriety of. digesting and codifying first the'statutwand•ultimately the common law, the-improvement of the , County Court jurisdic tion, the snaking , the trial •1?y . jury optional, the re arrangement of the circuits, the improvement of the law of evidence, the, prevention of bribery at 'eke tions by inalstiig it a felony, and the 'extension of County Courts' "to Scotland and of the Scoteh decla ratory action to Eigland, are in turn touched . on by Lord Brougham with his usual earnestness and feli city. One observation appears to us of great prac tical importance for the future guidance of law reforms the th ro i mnst through merely l tto i hu r ii machinery iaatnha se thei i an n iinge oryttuyhteneeao applied measure b t le e r icae i s n laouo s msr i t t c eo: s e ra ft m l i ntavwhnpeieedtri results h e m : previously arghoyosau se7meshsleeyottenihpoieeno advantagea fa t e whichly- oh s o a n i 12 commission 6 d b y submit tingo f t s _the EeclesioatiW Coutts, and to° the Iligestin an 4 celaiTettiten of our statute-and- cemmon , ewe dabs to the letter of Denman, which, though confined to a single point, lays down, with an authority, which few will be prepared to dispute, principles of very wide and searching application, and which must be adopted as the rule by which theßar shall in future direct its practice. It appears that a barrister, in dedicating a professional work to Lord Denman, indulged in a Jeremiad over the ruined prospects of his profession, in which few of our non-legal readers will feel disposed to join him, since every ground of complaint which he alleges, re solves itself into the loss sustained by the lawyer by speedy, cheap, and final justice. Seeing the evil which the County Courts must bring upon the Bar, Lord Denman is urged to lift up his voice against the proposal to allow barristers to take briefs in the County Courts without the intervention of an attor ney. This request Lord Denman negatives in a letter clear, dignified, and conclusive, affording full proof that the retirement of this eminent magistrate was due solely to physical infirmity, and not to any decay of mental powers. Lord Denman justifies the deci sion of Parliament which permits barristers to appear in the County Courts en two unanswerable grounds —the impropriety of an interference by the Legisla ture with a matter of mere professional etiquette, and ' the absurdity of imposing by Act of Parliament need less expense on the suitors in what are intended to be new that cheap courts. But Lord Denman does not stop here; having justified th e con duct of the Legislature, be pro ceeds to inquire what oug ht the conduct of the Bar to e be Bar now the Legislature t leftheotido has its eti go declareduwentte devices,sh that ali the o i r t de i a e t y he r w re-impose that it is ruledevise which it laid down ou g ht no longer to exist. Shall h o some new regulution, or shall it abstain from any attempt whatever to regulate the conduct of its mem tbhee avoided freedom as of an act e i v o i n i, 5 a n n o hers ? Lord D e nman g ives his opinion in favour of the latter course on g r oun d s equally wise, liberal, and mosts wrong commonly is to just : —" All interference of authority," he says, " with ind one the th m a s t u elv e aggravates whatever evil it was designed to cor rect. The Forum domesticum to which the profession paid allegiance as a band of brothers will hardly maintain its authority over a family so widely diffused and so indefinitely multiplied. Without rules the honourable man will act correctly, and none will restrain those of opposite character." The days of Bar etiquette, of the jurisdiction of circuit messes, and such self-constituted authorities, are gone by. The profession has out-grown them, and the rude festivities and half-serious punishments of grand nights and bar courts are things of another generation. The honour of the Bar is, within certain very wide limits, intrusted to the keeping of each of its members, with no other guarantee than his individual sense of justice and propriety. To guard against malpractices, the standard of feeling in tne profession snould be raised, and that must be done, not by the rules of etiquette, but by closing its portals to all but scholars and gen tlemen. It is to the Benchers, who prostitute the degree of barrister which they are permitted.to confer for the purpose of filling their halls and letting their chambers, that we have a right to look for the main tenance of the honour of the Bar. So long as they continue indiscriminately to admit all comerslwho pay their dues, give no flagrant occasion for scandal, and lounge through a course of legal lectures, it is to them, and not to the absence of any etiquette, that the decline in the estimation of the Bar must be traced, and the probability of derogatory practices ascribed. This authoritative denunciation of Bar etiquette leads immediately to a most valuable consequence. We pointed out a year ago the great injury which that etiquette inflicted on the public, by depriving them of the means of consulting a barrister directly, without the intervention of an attorney. We showed that this rule was most injurious to the suitor, by forcing upon him an expense which might in most cases bo avoided, and that the em ployment of two agents to do that which could be as well, or better, performed by one was a prohibi tion raised up against the Bar by themselves, and which their own interest and that of the public re quired them to break down. The preservation of such artificial restrictions is against the spirit of the age. Law is the commodity in which the barrister deals, and which the public wishes to purchase. It is the interest of neither to raise up a barrier between them. It was not so in the days of Thurlow and of Kenyon, and it ought not to be so now. It is not by rendering the access to him difficult and expensive that the barrister can increase his dignity or con sideration, but by usefully and energetically perform ing the duty which he undertakes. The Legislature has rescinded the rule which excluded him from con tact with his client so far as the County Courts are concerned; it can hardly be consistently argued that a barrister ought to receive instructions from his client for the conduct of a case in the County Court, but that he would be compromised by listening to a statement from the same person of facts on which his opinion is requested. The Bar has undoubtedly au arduous struggle to undergo in these days of law reform, but that struggle it will never bring to a successful issue by vain hankerings after the past, or by teaching the public to consider that the lawyer must lose whatever the suitor gains. If the Bar of England means to continue a permanent and honour able profession, it must look for its preservation, not to erbitiary etiquette, nor to antiquated notions of personal dignity and aristocratic exclusiveness, but to its devotion to the cause of amendment and pro gress, its facility of access, its high character insured by examination, its learning and industry, and the identification of its interests with those of the public. POST.—The great gathering of the self-styled Friends of Religious Freedom and Equality is at lest an accomplished fact. The Fiery Cross that was sped through the land, at the bidding of Ireland's ministers of the Christian religion, to call together all that was penniless, reckless, aimless, and turbulent from among the population of that unhappy kingdom, has completed its mission, and, in our paper of Satur day, we were enabled to place this result before our readers. And what is that result? 'What is the re sult of the frantic efforts of months to stir up the Irish nation to a crusade against the civil and eccle siastical constitution of the British empire ? A ga thering in a paltry conspiracy of some five-and twenty members in Parliament —we say, advisedly, members in Parliament, because we know that these men, though members, are by no means representa tives, guided by an attendant tail of obscure priests, panting to convert themselve s into political despots. What is the value of the a ttendance, the countenance, and the co-operation a these members in Parliament —what, in short, is their moral weight may easily be calculated after reading over their names. W e will venture to say that, with about two exceptions, not one has a stable, social, and monetary status in the country, and without any exception, not one has shown himself capable of conquering an independent political position. Nay, we will venture to go fur ther, and to say that, notwithstanding the apparent unanimity and the mutual pledges to stand shoulder to shoulder, there is not one of these men who is not distrusted by the other, and not one among the leaders of the movement who has not attendant upon him a spying and controlling brother, acting tinder the special orders of the priesthood, with directions to report every suspected tendency to support " law and order,' or in other words, every exhibition, direct or indirect, of inclina tion to take service with the British Government. Let Mr. William Keogh make a reasouable speech, or meet in a moderate and honest spirit any proposi tion emanating from Lord Derby's Cabinet for the advancement of Ireland's material prosperity ; or let Mr. Serjeant Shee attempt to carry o ut his common sense policy of accepting what is intrinsically good though it do come from the other side of the house, and they will see with what bitter rage and eager spite they will be parried by those bull -dogs of Rome, Mr. Frederick Lucas, Dr. Gray, and Mr. Duffy. Yet this is the rope of sand with which Jesuitical Pro., nagentlism has recourse when wishing to bind our Church in chains, and our nobles with links of iron. As for the sympathy of numbers, notwithstanding the persevering and uncompromising efforts which have been made "by the. Members of Parliament, clergy, and influential laymen," who assembled at the Northumberland-buildings on the 10th of September, not more than 200 of all sorts, according to the high est estimate of the journals of the League, could be coaxed or driven together on the 28th of October in the Concert-room of the Rotunda, in Dublin. Dur• log the six weeks, in fact, that they have been so assi duously at work, the party, even with the assistance of the peripatetic Mr. Bright, who is ready at a niorneht's notice to address any assembly on any sub ject, whether he understands it or no, do not seem to have received accession of force, so much as in the person of one single convert ; and from alpha to omega the proceedings entirely justify the opinion we had before formed and have already expressed, that this new aggregation of the reckless, the skeldering, and the discontented hangers-on of poor Ireland, are a small and contemptible section of her population ; and, instead of being representatives of the nation, are but nominees and tools of a foreign faction ; care less of Ireland—careless of her peace or progress— careless of aught save the re-conquest of the despotic power over her fortunes and her people which was once in their possession. .:We suppoie we need not apply ourselves for the hehoof even of the least in strpted of .our readers to the disproof of the great proposition ooptainec k l in the sth reaglutiosl.o,w,hich declined to maintain by reason or argument, conceiv ing it to have been established as a fact by perpetual repetition, that the independent and separate existence of the Anglican Ecclesiastical Establishment, and the appropriation of ecclesiastical property to that instead of to the Roman branch of the Catholic Church, are badges of conquest and evidences of vassalage and slavery. We suppose we need hardly quote historians to satisfy even the ignorant member for Manchester, whether really, or for this occasion only, ignorant, we know not, that, if ecclesiastical appropriation of pro perty in the land and its produce could be at any time and in any sense a badge of conquest and an evidence of robbery, it would be in this allocation to the requirements, just or unjust, of that Papal power at whose bidding, for whose behoof, and for whose extension and advancement, the conquest of Ireland was originally undertaken, and so cruelly, ruthlessly, and impolitically carried out by the monarchs of England. The most amusing, however, as well as the most characteristic part of the whole exhibition, was, as the gist and essence of a lady's letter is tradi tionally said to be, in the postscript. Camillo Mapei, a Waldensian of Piedmont, paraded as a sympathizing Protestant, ventured, in addressing the Conference as au ardent friend of religious freedom and equality, to hint that previous experience and historical reminis cences had induced something of a doubt, in the Pro testant mind on the Continent, as to the possibility of Rome being sincere in any abjuration of ascendancy; and expressed a hope that something might be done, as well as said, to remove a prejudice which he had reason to know had taken d,ep root. Heavens I what a storm he raised—whet a commotion in the assembly convened for the purpose of establishing freedom and equality. Nothing could be more de cided except the virulence with which a man is assailed who mentions indiscreetly in America negro emancipation. Notwithstanding his protestations— notwithstanding his stigmatizing the feeling, to which ho bore witness, as a " prejudice," the sympathizing Waldensian from Piedmont had no sooner given utter ance to his mild thoughts, than he was incontinently choked into silence by the chairman and two alarmed henchmen in priestly garments. The friends of re ligious freedom and equality permit no doubts, admit of no questioning, and suffer no untrammelled opinions. God defend poor Ireland from such friends. They are only fit to hang round the neck of Mr. Bright, and those intolerant and warlike apostles who would cram peace—their peace, that is—down the throats of nations with fire and the sword. WEEKLY DISPATCH.— RAILWAY AMALGA MATION.—Notbing daunted by the published mis givings of the Chairman of the Great Western Rail way, who thought aloud for the benefit of the public, is Lao ammo' to Mr. club, the Nuril-Western Dl rectors, we observe, have finally agreed with those of the Midland for an " amalgamation" of the two lines. The squeamish prudery with which the meeting of independent shareholders at Manchester disclaimed the very word was, it would appear, well-acted blar ney, and decently got up humbug. Pistol tells us that the wise call "stealing" conveying. The share holders call amalgamation " traffic arrangement." But their representatives appear to regard it as either unnecessary or impracticable any longer to beat about the bush, or to butter parsnips with soft words. They must go to Parliament for power to conspire in rob bing •the public—and they know very well that the candied phraseology of a public meeting will not conceal the truth from a Parliamentary Committee. Throwing off the mask, therefore, the two Boards of Directors have advertised their mutual assumption of partnership; and the great neutral public are about to see an attempt to club two capitals, which united will exceed 60,000,0001. sterling, or upwards of four times the property of the Bank of England itself, and an absolute and exclusive command over upwards of 1,100 miles of the iron roads of England. The disease appears, too, to bs epidemic. Notonly . has it been proposed to the Great Western to Join its 20 millions and 300 miles to the GO millions and 1,100 miles, but it is officially announced that terms of amalgamation have been agreed on between the York, Newcastle and Berwick, the Leeds Northern, and the York and North Midland railways, embracing a capital of 23,478 ; 4001. By a recent award of arbi trators, the North Staffordshire line has just been ab sorbed into the North-Western by purchase, and the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union are about to undergo a like process of assimilation. On every hand we hear of combinations among large steam-boat companies with railway companies, to seize the ex clusive carrying trade in their respective districts, by raising up exclusive mutual advantages, in the shape of traffic, which they deny to independent ship owners and carriers; and we entertain more clearly than ever the full persuasion that unless the country awakens to the magnitude of the danger with which it is threatened, it will, before the close of the coming session be handed over, bound hand and foot by Act of Parliament, to the tender mercies of as foul a cone spiracy of monopolists as ever grew rich upon the plunder of society. We must not be taunted with the imputation of vulgar prejudices, or indulgence in exploded fallacies, in making use of very plain lan guage to characterizs the con, not we feel bound, as guardians of the public interests, thus emphatically to expose and denounce. The morality of railway management is very little superior to that of the com mon swindler ; and not more respectable than that of eingses of impostors, who, in place of being presented with pieces of plate, are more summarily handed over to the tread-mill. The " cooking of accounts" is a very clear case of obtaining money under false pre tences ; and what is " making things pleasant" but the grossest fraud upon that portion of the public who have been simple enough to regulate their purchases of shares by a reliance upon the honesty of balance sheets ? Who can tell the amount cf scandalous jobbing, imposition, end downright theft, of which railway directors and managers have been guilty ? It is not possible to estimate the commercial demoralization which has been directly trace able to the railway system. Contracts for iron, coal, maintenance of way, construction, repair, in the various railways of the kingdom, have made the fortunes of many flourishing directors, and robbed the companies of millions. About every acre of l and, and every house required fur the variou s lines, t her e dishonest bargain with the proprietor.

A RAILWAY SCHEME.—Amongst the new railway undertakings of tho day is the Severn Valley Railway. with a capital of 10,0001. The line is to ba continued from Coalbrookdale to Stirew.ibury, and a through com munication thereby afforded by the valley of the Severn, from the south-west to the north-west or England and Wales, and I re l an d. A traffic arrengoment has been concluded with th e dire c tors of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, by which the Severn Valley Company will receive an estimated minimum dividend of 4 per cent. upon their outlay with other prospective advantages. GREAT CENTRAL GAS CON3UMERS' COMPANY. On Friday evening the half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this company was hold at the London Tavern, Ilishopsgate-street—Mr. Thomas Dakin, chair man of the board of directors presided. The report stated that the directors were about proposing another dividend of 10 per cent. on the quarter ending with last Juno . There was an available balance of 4,6991. 19s. 10d. After the payment of all working expenses and the interest on debentures, and deducting the 10 per cent. now recommended, there would remain 1,0581. 13A. 2d. to be carried forward to tho next half-year. '.Lhe directors had to an nounce the completion of the works at Bow, by bringing up the producing power to four hundred and twenty millions, and the manufacturing power to eight hundred millions. The cost had ap proximated so nearly to the original estimate, that the engineer had reported that the works might be brought up to 720,000, which was estimated as the sup ply, for 266,0001., which amount would be raised, not withstanding the opposition with which the company had had to contend, and the litigation to which it had been subjected. Their share capital amounted to 150,0001., and before the next half-yearly meeting the directors would be enabled to submit their closed capital account to the official auditor ap pointed by the Court of Common Council. During the last quarter the company had increased its business by 15,086 lights, and it would be a matter to be decided whether the price should be kept up to 45., or whether, by increasing the consumption, the prices should be reduced. The report wa s unanimously adopted. A number of questions were put and an!iwered to the satis faction of the meeting , and the directors were em powered to declare a dividend of 10 per cent. Too BAD.—A ticket issued by ono of the notorious advortizing parties who profess to he agents of the " Le viathan," was last week presented to Mr. Davies, the victim imagining from the manner in which the false Simon Pure had worded his advertisement, that the document was as good as a bank note; the poor fellow was dreadfully cut up on discovering that it was as value less as waste paper,— Life. -~
