SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FREE-TRADE CONTROVERSY. TIMES.—As the free-trade controversy is to be fairly opened again, wo make no apology for once more placing; before our readers some of those arguments which in the historic days of th e L eague did suc h goo d service in overturning the ancient system of commercial monopoly. In new subjects novelty of treatment may reasonably be required, but in the discussion of those thoroughly ventilated our readers must be content with the unadorned graces of truth. It is some tribute to the merits of free trade that there never has been found any writer bold enough to attack its truth in a scientific and systematic treatise. Authority is altogether on our side. From Adam Smith to Ricardo, and from Ricardo to John Mill, every writer who has approached the subject by the path of abstract and scientific investiga tion has arrived at the same conclusion. A treatise forming political economy into a science in a Pro tectionist sense has yet to be written. Notwith standing the immense demand which the for lorn state of the agricultural mind has created for suet' an article, no human ingenuity has been found competent to supply it. Protectionist literature has aspired to nothing beyond a clever party pamphlet. The statistics of Mr. Alison were singulaely inaccurate, and Sergeant Bytes attacked to so-called sophisms of free trade by fallacies still more glaring and more easily ex posed. Granting him the advantage of stating his ad versaries' case in his own way and then replying to it, it is easy to see that the sophism has far more substance and solidity than its intended refutation. Twist it how you will, abstract reasoning will infallibly show that the material welfare of a country depends on the ratio of its capital to its population, and that therefore all restric tions on the increase of that capital are so many deadly blows aimed at the continuance of that social welfare, TEelnientifie view contemplates - the Butte . as a eflutplex individual, and applies to it the same rules which guide the expenditure of private families. If it be not thought worth while for a tradesman to limit his dealings to those who deal with him, it is difficult to understand why nations should regulate their transactions on a dif ferent policy. That which would be discreditable and shortsighted in a shopkeeper can hardly be wise and reputable in a Prime Minister. Passing from the abstract view of the subject, let us ask the electors of the country to consider for a moment what is meant by this word ' Protection." Colonel Thompson, in his rough way, says all Protection means robbing somebody; and a little consideration may show that he is not far wrong. The term" Protection," always used by the party now in power, in preference to the more appro priate terms of monopoly or 'artificial scarcity, clearly , implies the existence of two parties, the party " pro tecting" and the party " protected." It is the function of the one to shelter the other, and it is that of the weaker to demand assistance. These functions are es sentially distinct and opposed. In the case now at issue the protecting party is the people of England at large, the protected is the so-called agricultural interest—that is, neither the tillers nor tenants of the land, but the `proprietors of the rents it yields. Clearly, then, the interest desiring protection ought, if the name be appro priate, to have no voice in granting it. They should apply to the people at large, minus that interest, to give them protection from their foreign rivals, but should have no more voice in the decision than Switzerland or Bel gium would have in an application to our Parliament to protect them from the aggressions of France. If this be nut done, the term Protection is manifestly inappropriate. If those who demand protection are virtually to decide upon its concession and its amount, they may be leviers of tribute or compulsory exactions, but can in no sense be said to be protected by those to whom they will not leave the power of refusing their aid. The attitude now assumed by the agricultural interest is that of a party litigant; they have no right also to take upon themselves the function of a judge. If they unite to themselves other interests desiring monopoly, such as the shipping and the West Indian, the case is still the same. The moment an interest claims to be protected it sets up demand of its own adverse to the public at large, and whether that demand bo just or no, it is on every prin ciple of justice incompetent to decide. We do not allow those who have claims on the Government to assess their own damages. Even Don Pacifico was never made umpire of the moderation of his own bill of costs, nor is it custo mary to invite the plaintiff or defendant to take his seat in thejury box. It we could reduce protection to the agricultural interests to the form of a contract, it would begin thus—The people of England at large agree to submit to an artificial scarcity of bread. But for what consideration? This is a question to which science can return no answer, and which no two Pro tectionists have ever answered alike. It used to be said that we ought to starve ourselves in prcesenti in order that we might not be starved by dependence on foreign nations in future. The very agitation of the question presupposes what the importation of ten millions of 'corn annually has amply demonstrated—that our native pro duce is inadequate to the supply of our own demands. This plan of enduring now all the evils of a siege, in creasing in intensity every year, in order to prevent a blockade hereafter, has found so little favour with the contracting party, that it is pretty generally abandoned as a sufficient consideration for organizing a mitigated famine. We used to be told that scarcity was required in order to feed the agricultural labourers, but, para doxical as it may sound, the poor-law returns show that they have been perverse enough to thrive much bettor on abundance, and that there are no facts from which a case of commiseration for them can be made out. Ascend ing in the scale, we are invited to starve ourselves for the sake of the tenant farmers, weighed down by all manner of burdens, of course excepting rent, and exposed to competition with the whole world. But when it is answered that all these bur dens are allowed for in rent, and that so long as one penny of that be paid, the farmers have no other inte rest in the queition than the rest of the community, the case for compulsory scarcity breaks down again, and we are forced once more to ask what consideration is 'the consumer to receive in exchange for the inestimable blessings of abundance? The last answer, and that unwillingly put forward, is the territorial constitution— words daintily chosen, but which mean, if we under stand them right, the necessity of curtailing the subsis tence of the poor, and checking the development of en terprise, in order that those who already receive the value of their land in the shape of rent may receive something more by way of monopoly, and retain by means of the money thus raised by Parliamentary scar city their influence in the councils of the nation. This is really the issue before the country :—Are wo willing to give up abundance and progress for tho sake of further enriching the rich by further impover ishing the poor? Because the commerce, the enterprise, and capital of this island have outgrown the narrow limits of its territorial dimensions, are wo willing to en ter upon the attempt to cut them down to that narrow proportion, and by a Procrustean Lolly to restrain within the limits of the producing power of a little spot of earth the elements of greatness who agency is inde finitely expansive? It is not the little spot of earth I which we inhabit which places us at the head of the na tions of the world; it is the boundless expansion of our capital, the übiquitous diffusion of our enterprise, the ceaseless progress of our industry, which have raised us to our present glorious position, and benefited none more largely than the very class which now seeks to arrest and turn back our onward career. To confound the greatness of Venice with the slime of the Adriatic out of which she sprang, or the power of Holland with the marshes from which she rolled back the sea, would be a reasonable and pardonable error compared with that of those who compute the greatness of England by her geographical area, and seek, like the fishermen of the " Arabian Nights," to cramp within their leaden ves sel the frame of a genius capable of filling the earth with its greatness. HERALD.—We yesterday announced, on reliable authority, that the ex-Premier had bid for office once again; offering as bribes, for the nomination by the Sovereign, Cabinet appointments to Messrs. Cobdeu, Bright, Sec. These, we are informed, were the terms Of the Chetham-place compact. We will not, therefore, attempt to describe—though it would not be a very hard task to divine—what were the feelings of Lord John Russell when the 168 Whigs and Liberals met at his house, to seal, apparently, a political union—to sign, in reality, the death-warrant of the Whigs. Tho knell of the Mintos and the Elltots—nay, even of the Greys— has been rung, and by the hands of their own chief. We heard it echo in the scornful interrogatives of Mr. Hume—in the smooth irony of Mr. Cobden; it might be seen playing in the Sardonic smiles of Mr. Roebuck; and not a Liberal Member left that House without feel ing satisfied that the mortified vanity of Lord John, w h ho s bad condesceded at last to see k their support, and 1 f ever i s h anxiety for office had raised the Radicals in the scale of power, and dealt a far more fatal blowt to a pure Whig Administration t han the most signal ef eat f r om the Protectionists could h ave done —Sir James Graham and Mr. Gladstone excepted: their speeches on Monday night make the m exce p tions: they are no longere Whigs. Farewell henceforth CO a family clique t — he to s th ties. of blood and claims o f relationship as o e Whatever be the avenues of public employments! f a te of the present Ministry, you w ill never return. If Lord John Russell returns to the Treasury bench, (can he dare to attempt a return to it after such terms have been offered?) you will not return with him; never imagine it. You will not occupy the soft cushions of power, " Fathers, brothers, u ncles, cousins, Families by tens and dozens." When Lord John re-enters office his train will b e sap. ported by vary different men, with whom the Greys and the Cavendishes will neither match nor mate. 11r. Ilume's interrogatory on that memorable evening allows of no doubt on this head; and the Radical Members, the to i rk d s his y illfersßrights, and th e Walmsleys, end the Willie/wee, to w h o m the proud leaderofth e Whigs Mr. has e vheale bon net, though they may surrender th e empty honour of leadin g the van, will not be eas il y thrust aside when they come to a division of the spoil. The aid which Lord John Russell has sought from them will be repaid, like the horse in the fable, who had taken a rider on his back against his old enemy the stag, and w ho had no intenti on to dismount because h i s services were no longer wanted. Make lowfaces as they will, th e Whigs must swal this bitter draught, From this time they ma y be assured that not only are the hopes of a Wildly Administration at an en d , b ut of a pure Whig nitogethera The old with bis high birth, his aristocratical habits, his refined tastes, his hereditary notions, must give way to a class of men, upstarts (to speak without offence), who will despise him, exactly! as they despise those qualifications which he does, and they do not, possess. Whatever unity of action there may be now between them, that unity has arisen from no similarity of sentiment—but, from oppo sition to a common enemy; and, the moment the cause is withdrawn which has now brought them together, they must and they will, become opponents to each other; all the more bitter and the mere resolute from the very fact that the terms on which the Radicals have now offered their assistance have not been defined, and will hereafter be a continual subject of dispute. Dis guise it as he may, Lord John has betrayed his party; ho has sold the Whigs to buy help from the Manchester men, from those who are pledged to support the ballot, to struggle far universal suffrage, to set up an aristocracy of wealth against birth and talent. Except on the ques tion of free trade, there is no topic in which the older Whigs and the more generous of the Peel party do not sympathise far more with Lord Derby than they do with Mr. Cobden. With a strong infusion hereafter, as there manifestly will be, of Manchester blood in the Russell Cabinet, should his Lordship ever accede to power, where will be the Cavendishes, the. Berkeleye, the Eb ringtons, the Fortescues, the Seyrnoure; or the Woods? What community of action or of sentiment can there possibly bo between such.men as Sydney Herbert, Hope, Roundel' Palmer, or even Mr. Cardwell, with the Cob dens, the Brights, the Diniblembes;• the Walmsleys, and the Wilsons? It behoveiiil men to consider who now remain in the .Ruasell Caimp; tit what cost they are re maining there;—they are rapidly drifting away from the old standing-ground of the Whigs; they have to make their election, not as they suppose, between the Whig gery of older days, with all its inheritances-Of ancient reputation auclaxaspecto.bilitys and a nteadeeriript - partinie the present moment; not the Whiggery of men _who fought • for constitutional liberty When it was endangered ; not the Whiggery of Burke and Rockingham, with its glorious associations and noble Dames; not the Whiggery of Fox, or even of the Althorps, the Macintoshes, and the Ricardos; but the pseudo-Manchester Whiggery of 1852, as it is to bo reproduced cn the political stage, new vamped and varnished by my Lord John, for the special use and be hoof of himself and his newly -sought customers—a shabby genteel article, suited to please a more vulgar circle; a piece of cabinet furniture of cheap mahogany and French varnish; an old coat, with its gold trimming stripped off, and bedizened with cotton lace; a pretender to ancient gentility and modern usefulness, made to look respectable by a new four-and-sixpenny hat and a bottle of black reviver. If men of the old stamp can be con tent after this, to follow such a leader and in such a motley troop, we pity them. We can afford to pity them tor the sacrifices they are making, as we should any man who was parting with good gold coin for that which is, in reality, worthless. If Lord John would retrace hie steps, he cannot; ho could not stand before without the help of the Manchester men, he can less hope to stand now. All men feel that he has gone too far, and that he can never retrace his steps. Nor would he if he could; he has committed himself irreparably, and his party with him—he has dragged them down into the slough which ho has sought voluntarily, " and all the King's horses and all the King's men cannot make Humpty Dumpty stand again.' After such a fall as this, men seldom have the wish, and seldomer the power, to stand as they did before; and neither wish nor power in this case are his. He has shown an earnest of this in his soliciting :help from Mr. Cobden; but he showed it still ;more significantly in his abandonment, expressed or understood, of his new Re form Bill, in consideration of their scruples. That Re form Bill was felt to be, in all intents and purposes, a Whig measure; it had been concocted in a Whig Cabi net, and before the loss of power had supplied Lord John's loss of ancient Whiggery by modern Radi calism. It has been abandoned by hi m , after all his pro testations in Parliame n t, t h at i t was t h e development and completion of his former measure; that it was, the result of his maturer thoughts and ripened principles. The dawning idea of it had formed the pleasing vision of his youth; the realization of it was the long-cherished happiness of his advancing years. Alas! advancing years take away something more than poets have dreamed of; something more than the smiles of youth, the play of the fancy, the e!asticity 'of the muscles. They have taken from Lord John, not merely the rosy cheek, the curling locks, the tragic fer vor, the zeal for Whiggery; they have taken from him faith, truth, and constancy. The Dalcinea of his twenty years, to whom he vowed himself eternally; the angel of his youth, for whom he has borne the heat of political conflict for so long n time—for whose wel fare he has watched so often; turns out, after all, a freckled, frowzy maiden, not better than she should be. Certainly there must be some witching power in the broad hut of Mr. Bright or the unadorned eloquence of Mr. Cobden, when, without an argument, without a word, they could produce such a result as this; when Lord John &resell, at their sole appearance in Cliesham-place. without blue flimr-s or sulphur even, can suddenly change all his previous convictions of twenty years, see with eyes he never saw before, and reliequish withi out a sigh the charmer who had so long held nis soul n thra'dom. Talk, indeed, of the wicked enchanters who transformed the ador..ble Lady of del Toboso "into the vile and deformed resemblance of a country wench," they were nothing to Messrs. Bright and Cohan! What a pity it is for Lord John that we live in an age when men do not believe in occult causes. How many in stances of political direlictiun ' or even of moral inconsis tencies, would not such a cree d justify? But men will take the act as it stands, and consider it as the act of the man—and so must we. With such an instance of faithlessness before him, who can trust to Lord John Russell? Who can believe that a statesman who has sold his maturest measures, his recorded convic tions, to another, will not Sell himself and his party too? If to grasp at power which has fallen unbidden from his feeble hands he can so forget himself, his posi tion, and his principles, lot no man believe that he will r e sist the temptation another time, or forbear to drive the same bargain, whatever be the cost. Henceforth he is the man (we had nearly said the slave) of the Man chester men; pledged to their views by this community of action and this petition for their aid. He cannot shake off the obligation; with their hook in his month he must follow where they drag him,—the repentant, tardily-recognised, struggling leader of a class of men whose views extend not beyond their own cotton-mills, to be laid on the shelf when the show of him no longer suits their purpose. We entreat all those who are now bidding for power to consider this, and to look at Lord John's position and his prospects, not by what has been, but as they will and must be hereafter. ADVERTISER—When we reflect how, in our own day, abuses survive their condemnation, through the in tervention of some topic more interesting for the moment, we are less astonished that past Bees have transmitted to us so much that is contrary to reason, to justice, and even to convenit ace. With all the advan tages of the press, of cheap and speedy intercommunica tion of thought, and, above all, of a public opinion so powerful that it almost makes up for what is wanting in the present state of our representative right, our pro gress is extremely slow where it moves at all; while in many respects, after promising sudden and rapid strides, wa sit down supinely, as it overcome by the severity of the mere attempt to exert, ourselves. A pestilence visits us; and Lords, Commoners, Bishops, and lay men unite in public meetings, declare that houses shall no ; longer be left undrained, ill-ventilated, ' and badly supplied with water; that the poor shah have ample means of cleanliness, and something like Christian shelter at night; and that, above all things, public decency shall no longer be shocked, and public health no longer endangered by intramural inter ments. The pestilence passes away, and the good re solutions of Lords, Commoners, Bishops, and laymen, pass along with it. Houses are still ill-drained, ill-ven tilated, ill-supplied with water; the poor still neglected, and the London clergy spreading forth the hospitable banquet from the fees of the pest-house. The big de sire for sanitary reform began to lose flesh with time, on that and was wholly consumed by the growing interest of the Exhibition—Papal aggression, perhaps, doing part. And now, that perfect fury of ind h l e g e nati ae to s inhale its over gorged; ;shthoautldchrbiestiaotivsers-hcorouwlddebde compelledlln and the Eccles' ca ia :r- i over, interest to absorbs haas become n o f the it foul air and drink fouler water — what TTihtelesGßreilait law,Ea haibitnioenw searnitdaaryy. brTahwebacekvse. adrgeddeagrrbavreeaydar.tdos Protectionist Ministry, pledged our r ls d o a th y er aft The death. bell overcharged receive new tenants. Tho indignant to have changed all thi s has spirit w hi c h was the breath that ao recently melted int o t hi n a i r , like uttered its clemours. But has this been the onlycause likely to be apparently overwhelmed by the events of the last few mouths? A year ago, we were absorbed • m a great ecclesiastical con troversy, which threatened to convulse the country from one end to the other, and create a which did, in fact , commotion unparalleled Bill. By a singular • from the time of the Reform capn ,this nation, much assisted in its commencement rice a-1 ' the Establish ment, by the bishops of meat, had no sooner met a partial disappointment in the ridiculous Ecclesiastical Titles Bill—that great blot, in every respect, on Lord John's honour as a man, and character as a statesman—than it turned round on the Church whose dignitaries had helped to give it in tet'sit)', and, in an especial manner, marked out the Episcopal Bench for its attack. In the mean time, a large body of members of the Church of Bogla,nd, laity and clergy, united for the purpose of obtaining a re form . of the Prayer Book, which should test the fidelity of many pastors, who had hitherto been. considered as cupbeard lovers of the Church. These wore the two great fruits of the great controversy we have mentioned. The peculations of our I Bishops were exposed, and, we trust, prevented for the ' future; end a respectable and numerous society was established, with a view to re-reform the Church, in accordance with the principles of the Reformation. We have never been disposed to underrate the difficulties of this task. The zeal of the Puseyites, their hold upon , ma ny high families who influence the Legislature, their learning, and the great devodon which, with many of her doctrines, they borrow from the Church of Rome, make them a body not contemptible in fac t, whatever we may think of them as professors of a religion which they allege to be reformed while they re j ect as absur -1 i &ties the two grand principles of the lieformetice, But if that Reformation is a fe e * on which th e coun t ry continues to ptide itself as the basis and the bulwark of its liberties, the attempt to reform the Book of Common Prayer will certainly not h e d e f ea t e d by its difficulties. One danger alone threatened the withdrawal of the public mind from this important topic —the advent to power of a Ministry pledged to restore protection. That event has happened; but it has co me accompanied by a fact which will rather assist than de feat the cause of Church reform, if the advecates of that movement are only true to themselves. We have been at some pains to show the religious character of new Administration; and our readers have eeere from th e articles which have recently appeared i n our columns:on this subject, that the Earl of Derby, the , informing spirit o t the Cabinet, is a devoted and uncompromising Pusesite; one of those who would demolish Mr. Glad stone to serve Dr. Blomfield, and go hand-in-hand to the extremest lengths with Dr. Poillpotts. The change of Ministry, thus, instead of overwhelming the question with matters of new and more m Ittrial interest, revives it, and in a very remarkable mariner. We know not two subjects on which the opinion of the people ofehis country is mere definitively made up than those of cheap bread and pure Protestantism. Earl Derby has taken his stand on both points in direct opposition to the will of the people. Not unp opu l ar enough w i th hi s b rea d tax, he prom ises to ext en d t h e i nfluence of the Church, which he will, of cou rse , d o i n the direction of his own opinions. Now, th ee, at all events , ca a n t n tohteir they who seek to ayho that p hthaveYe have be n reform the takenthe unawares,or that baffled by stirring political everts opereon- g oblivion of their cause. Let them be up and doing, Let the voice of encouragement go forth from their m eetings , and re sound from one end of the country t o the other, ing to arms every man, woman , , and child who would stand and fall by the Reformat icn—who l evee his Bible not less, at least, than the cheap loaf. Now is a time to see how fearless is the froe and the re so l ve d spirit—bow worldgenerous,how especially lyin religious matters, i s t h e Christian it sacrifices the mammon of this mind; glorious inheritance of spiritual truth, and how constantly, in spite of every species of adve rs i ty, it clings to it. Patting aside minor distinctions, th e Church of England is at the present moment divided into two groat parties, the Paseyito and Evangelical. If the latter are prompt and vigorous in their measures, they will force the others out of their Church. Bat should they fail to do so, they have no alternative but to secede from it themselves. To show this let us makiemee. of a cozaparison. A turbulent person finds his - Way into a room where two gentlemen are met in friendly conversation, or for the purpose, perhaps, of carrying out some benevolent design. They discuss its merits quietly. Bat while they are thus engsged, the turbulent intruder interrupts their proceedings, and, with a high voice and menacing gesture, begins to criticise their views, and to propose amendments in truly imperative style. If they can, they will oust him. But if not, they say, "It is impossible we can remain here to be mixed up with this person. Already he at tracts the attention of strangers in the streets, who stop and look in to see what is the matter. Oat of respect for ourselves we cannot consent to be taken as having anything in common with him. We must leave him in his glory." And they do so. Bat the case of the Church of England is as much stronger than this, as spi ritual freedom is more important than social respect ability. The obligation, therefore, on the part of those who adhere t o t h e pr i nc i p l es o f th e R e f orma ti on is equally more binding to sever any connexion which brings those principles into contempt. RAI LWA Y INTELLIGENCE. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Watling-atreet.; Mr. Alderman Salomons in the chair. The report stated that the half-year's rent had been paid on the 15th inst. by the South-Eastern Railway Company. The only outstanding liability of the com pany- was 8,0001. in debenture:, which would become due on the 18th of October next, and was provided for by a corresponding amount on loan due at the same time. The accounts showed a balance of 19 , 52 3/,vvlaich would admit of a dividend of 9s. 9d. per share, leaving a small balance to the credit of the next account. The, sum of 800,0001. was received and expended on capital account. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adopt►ion of the report said the principal business would be, after the ordinary meeting, to approve of the Bill to amalgamate the un dertaking with that of the South-Eastern Company. They were aware that there was a clause in the lease to apply to Parliament, within two years, for an Act to amalgamate the two companies. A clause was inserted in the Biil for the purpose of more completely convey ing the railway to the South-Eastern Company, and to get rid of all expenses incidental to a separate manage me►,i`, of the Reading and Reigate Company. He con cluded by moving that the report and accounts be re ci ived and adopted.] Mr. M‘GnEoon seconded the motion. In reply to a question, it was stated that the office expenses amounted to 2d. per share. Resolutions were passed adopting the report; declaring a dividend of 9i. 9J. per share, tree of income-tax; re electing the retiring director=_, Messrs. C. Mangles, F. MangleF, and D. Mr_ catta ; and also the retiring auditor, Mr. L. Pocock. The meeting was then ma‘3.e special to consider a Bill now before Parliament for the amalgamation of the }loading, Guildford, and Reigate Hai!why Company with the Sluth-Esstern Company; for the ctii,solution of tlte 11-adieg, Guildford, and Reigate Company ; end for ottu-r purpo4es. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution to the effect that the Bill ba approved, subject to such alterations as to Parliament Anil seem sect. Mr. DAvts wished to know whether the clauses in the 1,. c. , e bn•! those in the Bill co!neicl? The eolicitor read the heads of the Bill, from which it appeared that the shareholders of the Reading and RAgate Company were to have, within nine months after the passing of the Act, the (Tacit of taking preference :hares or debentures bearing interest at the rate of .5f per n,ut.per annum, takieg pffcedenee immediately after the existing preference stock and debenture debt of the South-Eastern Company, and before any other prefer ence shares or debenture debt that may be created here after by the South-Eastern Company. A long discussion ensued, in which the chairman, Mr. Burton, Mr. Lewis, Mr. M•Gregor, Mr. Quitter, Mr. Gaskill, Mr. Pocock, and ether proprietors took part, as to whether the shareholders were more secure under the existing lease than they would be under the provisions of the Bill for the amalgamation of the two companies. It was contended, that at present the Reading and Reigate Company had a claim for their rent on the South- Eastern Compaay before the preference shareholders; but that, by the proposed amalgamation, the existing preference shares would take precedence of their claims far rent. On the other hand, it was argued that the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate shareholders would not be in a worse position, but rather in a better position, than they were at present, inasmuch as the Act of amal gamation would jut an end to all questions touching the legality of the lease; that the preference charge, which would have been a prior claim under the Bill, was com paratively small; and that the net revenue of the South- Eistern Company was very considerable, after paying the working expenses, interest on loans, and all pre ference charges (including the Reading and Reigate rent), being about 250 , 0001 . per annum, clea r of al c harges, tied applicable to slisaderd on the ordinary shares. The net income of the South-Eastern Compa n y a fter paying all charges, preferenti a l and otherwise, agains t revenue for the p as t h a l ! = year amounted to s 131,000 L, so that there could not b? the slightest doubt as to the security of the preference shares proposed to be created by the Amalgamation Act. Mr. GASxILL proposed an am endment to the effect, that the meeting be adjourned fur a fortnight, for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of counsel as to whether the Bill now submitted was one they were obliged to ap prove of under th e c l ause in the lease. Mr. BURT ON secon d ed the amendment. A diecussien then ensued on the amendment, and others were proposed. Eventually it was agreed to ad journ the meeting for a month it being un d ers tood that the opinion of c ounsel would be taken on the Bill in the meantime. The prcendings concluded with a vote of thanks to ;he chairman.
