Fordham made a last and determined effort, but the fa vourite could do no more than make a dead heat of it. Deciding Heat-11 to 8 on Athena. Fordharn again selected the higher ground, and made the running with a slight lead of the Duke's mare, until reaching the dip, when the pair closed, and came on together at a moderate pace. On the top of tho hill they commenced to race, the favourite having a slight advan tage, but Leonie getting on equal terms with her at the centre of the Stand, passed her and won by a length and a half amid deafening cheers.

The race was invested with almost as much interest as the preceding one, and the preliminary canter of the " dark" one—Mameluke—was watched with the keenest anxiety, but opinions were generally favourable. Ford ham again selected the higher ground, having Innerdale on his whip hand, and the moment the word was given he assumed a slight lead of his antagonist. The pair however lay well together till the half-distance, where a desperate race commenced, Innerdale momentarily appearing to have the best of it, as he succeeeded in getting his head in front, but Fordham finishing with immense determination won literally in the last stride by a head, a result which elicited loud cheering.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Lord Ronald, 4to 1 agst Ailesbury, 11 to 2 agst Lucifer, 100 to 15 agst The Beadle, 7 to 1 agst Panacea. Ailesbury cut out the work clear of Lucifer, Panacea, and Nunquam Dormio till they wore opposite the Danebury clump, where Lucifer took up the run ning, having a lead of Panacea, Musketeer, Ailes bury, and Lord Ronald, the last of all being Lozenge. This order was maintained with but trifling variation in their respective positions until coming up the hill for the turn, when Lord Ronald headed Ailesbury and Musketeer, Nun quam Dormio being next. At this point, in the extreme rear, as they rounded the turn, Lord Ronald took second place, and when fairly in the straight assumed a clear lead of Lucifer on the left; Musketeer in the centre of the course, with Lozenge and Beadle on the loft. Of this lot Mus keteer was the first to give way, and Ailesbury came up on the lower ground. 'rho Duke of Beaufort's horse held the advantage until about a dozen strides from the chair, when Fordham made a rush and won cleverly by a neck from Lucifer, who headed Lord Ronald at the Stand ; the last-named was a bad third, Beadle fourth, Panacea fifth, Nunquam Dormio sixth, Musketeer seventh, and Black Prince last. The Ninth Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added, for two-year-olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 51b 31b allowed ; T.Y.C. ; 71 subi. Duke of Beaufort's Europa, by Trumpeter—lonica, Bst 51b Marquis of Hastings' See-Saw, Bst 71b (Cannon) 2 Mr. Sutton's Ironmaster, Bst 101 b (Challoner) 3 The following also ran :—Aquila, Lord Palmerston, Bearskin, Prince Louis, Tibicen, Chic, Mortimer, Bird seeker, Lady Seymour, and Carlos. Betting-11 to 8 agst Europa, 9to 2 agst Mortimer, 7 to 1 agst Lord Palmerston, 10 to 1 agst Ironmaster, 11 to 1 agst See-Saw, and 25 to 1 agst Carlos. After the competitors had got to the post it was die' covered that Europa had weighed out as Bst 21b, claiming a 31b allowance for being out of a dam that nev:r bred a winner. This was found to be incorrect, and the favourite cantered back and weighed out without the allowance. The start was thus delayed for some time, and was further protracted by a false one. Eventually tho lot were de spatched, Aquila showing the way, attended by Lord Pal merston, Lady Seymour, Chic, Europa, and Ironmaster,. this lot running in close company, the last pair being See-Saw and Bearskin. With the exception of Tibicen, who was left at the post, they all ran iu this order until rounding the turn into the straight, where Chic bolted out of the course. Europa, who was now on the inside, drew to the front, closely attended by Mortimer, lronmaster, Lord Palmerstou, and Aquila, the latter, how ever, giving way before reaching the distance, where See- Saw, who had been gradually improving her position, singled herself out on the extreme left. At the commence ment of the enclosure Lord Palmerston and Mortimer gave way, leaving the race apparently to Europa and Ironmaster, the favourite taking a clear lead in the last half-dozen strides, but Cannon, finishing with a rush, was only de feated by a neck; Ironmaster was beaten a length from second, Mortimer was fourth, Lord Palmerston fifth, Carlos sixth, Birdseeker seventh, Prince Louis eighth, Lady Sey mour ninth, Bearskin tenth, and Aquila eleventh. Chic and Tibicen walked in. A Plato of 50 sovs; two year olds 7st, three Bst 91b, four 9st, five and upwards 9st 21b ; the winner to be sold for 300 sovs; if entered for 200 sovs allowed 61b, 100 101 b ; jockeys to ride; from the Bush in (about 5 fur).

Betting-2 to 1 each agst Canute and Mongrel, 6to 1 agst Paris, 10 to 1 agst Haymarket, 100 to 7 agst Primula. Paris delayed the start a long time by refusing to join his horses, eventually bolting, and having to be led back to the post. When the flag was lowered Haymarket held a slight lead of Canute on the left, and Mongrel and Kaffir's Land on the right, Paris being last off, and bringing up the rear. After going a quarter of a mile Canute took up the running, followed by Signet, Mongrel, and Paris to the Stand, where Canute hung fearfully, and a collision seemed inevitable. This, however, was fortunately avoided, and the race became a match between Signet and Paris ; and although the latter tried to cut it, Cannon riding with great patience and ability, won cleverly by a' neck. Canute was third, defeated half a length only; Mongrel was fourth, Secrecy fifth, Primula sixth, Hay market next, and Kaffir's Land last. The winner was sold to Mr. G.Reynolds for 200 guineas. Mr. J. B. Day claimed Primula, Mr. Hope Canute, and the Marquis of Hastings Signet.

Betting.-3 to 1 agst Cock of the Walk-5 to 1 each agst St. Ronan, See-saw, and Rabican-10 to 1 agst Mac duff-12 to 1 each agst The Fawn and Wild Blood. Wild Blood made play slightly in advance of Rabican, next to whom, in a cluster on the higher ground, came ,St. Ronan, Angus, and See-saw, and they ran thus to the dip, when Wild Blood gave way, and Rabican was left in advance of St. Ronan, Angus, and See-saw till opposite the Stand, where Fordham brought See-saw out, and finishing with a rush, won cleverly by three parts of a length. A length separated second and third, Angus was fourth, The Fawn fifth. Several lengths off came Citron, Wild Blood, and Macduff, the two last being the Norna colt and Logarithm. A Plato of 100 sovs ; three year olds list 21b, four 12st, five and upwards 12st 51b; the winner to be sold fot 3CO nova; if entered for 200 soya allowed 71b, 150 101 b, 100 141 b ; to bo ridden by members of the club; jockeys 71b extra.

Golden Leaf made the running, followed by Quirina, Master Robert, and Merry Monarch, the trio lying well together, Fairfield, who whipped round them when the flag fell, bringing up the roar. This order was maintained to the distance, when Merry Monarch shot out and won cleverly by a neck from Master Robert ; Quirina finished a bad third, Golden Leaf fourth, and Fairfield cantered in last. The winner was sold to Mr. Mackenzie for 170 guineas. BETTING ON THE COURSE.

STAMPED sd. of Convocation to be members of the Church of Eng Mr. GLADSTONE would like very much to• hear on what authority the hou. member made that assertion. Mr. MOWBRAY said he merely believed that was the case from certain circumstances that had transpired, all of them pointing in that direction. A discussion then took place, during which the Chan cellor of the Exchequer said he had no desire or intention to alter the constitution of any universities by any of the provisions of the bill. Mr. TREVELYAN having withdrawn his amendment, the division was taken on the question that after the word "London" the words "and Durham" be inserted. Ayes 226 Noes 234 Majority —B The words "and Durham"• were accordingly rejected, and the clause enacts that the University of London alone shall send a member to Parliament. Clauses 16 and 17 were agreed to, it being arranged that the discussion on the amendment of Sir J. Collier to the latter should not be taken until the bringing up of the Clause 18 (joint occupation clause) was agreed to. Clause 19, relative to the registration of voters, occupied the attention of the house up till seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock. On reassembling at nine o'clock, Mr. FAWCETT moved the following resolution— " That in the opinion of this house it is undesirable that tho fellowships and foundation scholarships of Trinity College, Dublin, should bo exclusively appropriated to those who are members of the Established Church." The motion was seconded by Mr. BAGWELL. Mr. MONSELL moved as an amendment—" That the constitution of the University of Dublin should be altered so as to enable and fit it to include colleges connected with other forms of religion than that of the Established Church, and that the members of such colleges should be entitled to share in all the benefits now enjoyed by the members of Trinity College." The O'CONOR DON seconded the amendment. Mr. LEFROY opposed both the original motion and the amendment, contending that Trinity College was founded by a Protestant Queen at the instance of a Protestant archbishop, and for Protestant purposes alone. Lord NAAS contended that the object of the motion I was an undisguised attempt to revolutionise the character of Trinity College and its relations with the Established Church. The noble lord also stated several objections to the amendment, and amongst them that, if agreed to, its effect would be to place the college upon a footing analo gous to that of the University of London, by depriving it of its religious character. Moreovar, he held that Trinity College, as now constituted, gave a good mixed educa'iom and that all classes of her Majesty's subjects were fairly represented there. Mr. LAWSON challenged the accuracy of this asser tion, and contended that whereas the vast majority of the population of Ireland was Roman Catholic, the average number of students professing that faith at the university was not more than 50 or CO. Sir F. HEYGATE opposed the motion and amendment, and was followed by Mr. BAGWELL, who moved the ad journment of the debate. Mr. GLADSTONE hoped the Government would keep in view the urgency of the question, as it was time that some progress should be made with those Irish questions. Real civil disabilities were now inflicted on a portion of the Irish people by their exclusion from the endowment of Trinity College, and he asked the Government to con sider the consequences which would follow from a multi plication of universities in Ireland. Mr. BAGWELL insisted that the University of Dublin was sectarian, and that the object of both motion and amendment was to make it national. The motion for the adjournment was agreed to without a division. Leave was given to Mr. Lefevre to bring in a bill to en able persons to secure to their wives and children the benefit of assurances on their lives by nomination en dcrsed on the policy. Mr. CIIILDERS moved a resolution to the effect that it was incumbent en her Majesty's Government to institute inquiries with a view to the reform of the Middlesex registry ; and that, pending such inquiries, steps should be taken to put a stop to the receipt of illegal fees by the sinecure registrars, and to prevent any appointment to the office of registrar on a vacancy occur ring. Mr. Secretary HARDY admitted that the fees were excessive, and that the offices were sinecures, but objected to prejudging the question as to the illegality of the fees. He was quite willing, however, to agree to the first part of the motion, which stated that it was incumbent on the Government to institute inquiries with a view to the re form of the Middlesex registry. Sir R. PALMER said there could bo no doubt of the fees being illegal, but he recommended Mr. Childers to accede to the suggestion of the Homo Secretary. After a short discussion, Mr. Childers consenting, the resolution so amended was agreed to. The motion for the third reading of the Tests Abolition (Oxford and Cambridge) Bill led to some opposition, chiefly on the ground of proceeding at so late an hour (ten minutes past one o'clock), and a motion by Mr. Hen ley for the adjournment of the house was rejected by 95 to 80. _ _ _ Mr. COLERIDGE, who had charge of the bill, then gave way, and the third reading was fixed for this day week. The other business was disposed of, and the house ad journed at twenty-five minutes beforo two o'clock until twelve o'clock this day. HOW RAILWAYS ARE MANAGED. (From the Times.) It seems impossible-to conjecture what revelations may yet be in store for us respecting the administra tion of railways. The public might have thought that after the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way all other transactions would appear tame and stale. But the report of the Committee of Inves tigation into the affairs of the London and Brighton line, an abstract of which we published on Monday, is more than sufficient to provide a new sensation. The collapse is not so complete, nor are the trans actions of such magnitude, but, considered as the history of the ruin of a railway company, this re cord is probably unique. It furnishes the most extraordinary instance which has yet come before the public eye of the manner in which sound pro perty has been squandered, and of the fatuity, if not downright dishonesty, by which the disaster has been caused. Something, perhaps, is due to the special acuteness of the Committee of Investigation, who had the advantage of possessing Lord West bury for their chairman, for we have never read so clear and incisive an analysis of such a subject. But the character of the transactions would of itself be sufficient to lend to this report an unusual interest. The report commences by a short account of the history of the Brighton Company for the last 17 years, from 1849 to 1866. This space of time is divided into periods, marked by very different characteristics. From\ 1849 to 1854 Mr. Laing was Chairman ; he was succeeded in 1855 by Mr. Leo Schuster, and the latter gentleman is said to have been the reigning spirit of the second period. Dur ing the first of these periods the policy of the Board of Directors was " to abstain from extensions, to keep down the capital account, to maintain friendly relations with neighbouring companies, and to cul tivate the traffic and reduce expenses." In the second period a policy precisely the opposite has been pursued. The result is shown in two remarkable tables, giving the comparative increase in the capital and income of the Company during the two periods. In 1848 the capital of the Company amounted to £6,955,000, and its income to £266,000. In 1854 the capital amounted to £7,690,000, .having been increased by no more than £735,000, while the net . income had developed to £391,000, showing an tihne crease of £125,000. Between 1854 and 186 6 . creased to £15,762,000 , while the net inc capital had been more than . doubled, .haovmmeg hiand- In other words, only increased by £113,00 0 . f income during the first p eriod, the percentage o Duri to capital had bee n increased.no.frot,hne nseeacrolnyd4ptco. more than 5 per ce nt. riod it had been reduced froorit than 3 per cent. Moreover, . lthse to little added to capital in the second period, no less than £7,300,000 was composed of preference shares and d e b en t ur es, and co nsequently " a permanent charge of nearly £ 400 , 000 a year was incurred to earn an additional net income of £113,000 a year." Nor does this even represent the full result of the policy of the second period. At the commencement of the present year the company were committed to a further expenditure of three millions, and if their engagements had been carried out the capital of the company would have consisted in round numbers of cc, SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

CHATHAM AND SHEERNESS STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES' BILL. The Earl of BEDSORE moved the second reading of this bill, and stated that it had been thought most advis able by Sir Baldwin Walker and others, who had much to do with Sheerness and Chatham, that a stipendiary magis trate should be appointed to those districts. The regula tions as to health in Sheerness were very peculiar, em bracing as they did ships, dockyards, &c., and it was absolutely necessary that there should be a stipendiary magistrate there. The bill was then read a second time. SALE OF LAND BY AUCTIONS BILL. Lord ST. LEONARDS moved, with regard to this bill, that the house should agree to certain exceptions to it which would prove beneficial to its operation, particularly those relative to the functions of auctioneers. He pro posed that the amendment of the House of Commons should not be carried out, but another clause substituted. ROUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The 3PEAKEIL took the chair at two o'clock. PETITIONS.

In reply to Mr. MossELL, Mr. HARDY said he had received a letter from the Mayor of Birminghaui, stating that he had received addi tional military aid from Coventry and Weedon, and under such circumstances he did not think the Goverment need further interfere, as the local authorities seemed quite cer- twin of being able to preserve the peace. PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The house went into committee on this bill.. On clause 15 being proposed, on which the question arose for the union of the universities of London and Durham for the purposes of Parliamentary representa tion, Mr. LOWE presented a petition from the heads of the University of London and urged the postponement of the subject, on the ground that the proposal had not been a sufficient time before the house to enable the matter to be well considered by the University of London. The Uni versity of Durham was local, whilst that of London was cosmopolitan, and ho felt certain that the proposition could not be appreciated with gratitude by either body, be ' cause it would be impossible, however good the one mem ber might be, for him to truly represent the feelings of the two universities. He would be fit for one, but totally un fit for the other. (Hear, hear.) Both universities were excellent in their way, but they were both founded for dif ferent en's, and for different purposes. (Hear, hear.) He did not think it possible to propose the union of two greater contrarieties than that nowt submitted to the house by her Majesty's Government. He could not iu acoordanco with the forms of the house move the postponement of the clause, but he hoped the right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would not persevere in pressing forward the proposal of the Government for the union of the two universities for representative purposes. Sir M. RIDLEY said he was not so much alarmed at the proposal of the Government as his right hon. friend opposite. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the Government would persevere in their proposal. Mr. BRIGHT said the great effect of the right hon. baronet's remarks was not so much with regard to the union of the two universities as to show the desirability of ob- taining political representation for Durham. The Uni versity of London was founded for purposes somewhat peculiar—viz., to grant degrees to persons who, for various reasons, could not avail themselves of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The proposal of the Government ho considered short-sighted and unwise, because they might just as well hope for a happy state of things by proposing to unite the University of Edin burgh, with its high Protestant feeling with the College of Maynooth. The union of the two universities was proposed for certain purposes, for good reasons, he had no doubt, to a very few persoith ; but if the house, he felt certain, by a strong expression of opi nion, refused to assent to the proposal, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be very much obliged to it. Mr. B. OSBORNE said he had not yet voted on this question, which had all at once assumed such gigantic proportions. (Laughter.) He could not for the life of him understand how the idea about the union of the two universities had entered into the minds of Her Majesty's Government. He had no doubt the hon. member for Durham had poured the venomous distillment into the ears of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laughter.) Ho for one until very lately was unaware of the existence of the University of Durham—(oh, oh, and laughter)—and he believed that a great many of his countrymen shared in that state of darkness. (Laughter.) Durham was generally connected with short horns, not scholars. (Loud laughter.) However, the existence of the university had been introduced, and in a manner that would be a very good advertisement for it. (Laughter.) He did not believe the Government sincerely wished to carry the proposal, and therefore he called upon all true Radicals to come forward to the rescue of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, like Prometheus, was chained to the rock by that insidious man the member for Durham. (Loud laughter.) The two universities were teasing the Chancellor of the Exchequer, like Polly on the one side and Lucy on the other, and he only hoped he would end by saying " to neither a word will I say." (Loud laughter.) Ile thought the course they were pur suing was altogether wrong, and therefore he should move to fill up the blank in the bill with the word " Liverpool" —(loud cheers)—instead of the word "universities." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho could not understand why such an opposition should be offered to a proposal which affected England, whilst the advisability of the same proposal for the union of the niversities of Aberdeen and Glasgow was tacitly ad mitted. (Hear, hear.) It was said that neither of the Universities of Durham or London possess very largo constituent bodies, but he had not been influenced by that, but by what had been the state of ad vancement, the present condition and brilliant pros pects for the future of each university in submitting the proposal to the house. (Hear, hear.) Ho had heard no solid mascot against the proposal of the Government, and therefore he hoped the house would give its assent. Sir G. BOWYER reminded the house that if they re jected the proposal Durham would be the only university in favour unrepresented, of the tapnrp andto o prevent sition of t t h h a e t G h o e v s e h r o n u m l d e n g t i . ve his vote Mr. CARDWELL strongly objected to the proposal and he hoped the house would reject it. Mr. MOWBRAY remarked that it is not the fact to say there were religious tests required at Durham. Divinity was the only matter in which such wore required. Mr. CRAWFORD asked whether it was possible for the proposal of the hon. member for Nottingham to be put in any shape to the house ? The CHAIRMAN replied by putting the question to the house for its decision, viz., " That the blank in the clause be filled up with the word universities.' " On a division there appeared— Ayes ... ... 226 Noes 225 Majority for Government Mr. TREVELYAN then moved an amendment, the effect of which was to unite the Univers it y of Durham with that of Oxford. (Loud cheers.) lie did so because he believed the sympathy of Oxford and Durham was stronger in sympathy than Durham and London, and therefore he moved the amendment. The CHAIRMAN then put the question to omit the word "London," and to insert the words "Durham and Ox ford." Sir G. BOWYER asked whether it was the intention Durham ? to give the power of voting to all the graduates at Mr. MOWBRAY r e p din the affirmative , and said that it was in the power of every new corner to bec o m es for e a gra duate. Of course the y must have been grad a certain period before they became entitled to the pri vilege. Ile had further to state that ho believed it was the intention of the authorities in the to evenre t of representatio n being g iven to the university, move the restrictions which now required members land, G -~ £18,300,000 in preference stock and debentures, and £5,378,000 in ordinary stock. In this case it would hare required a gross traffic of £1,800,000 it year to pay preference charges alone, the present amount of the gross traffic being only £1,190,000. Such is the contrast between " now and then." In 185-1 the Brighton Company was one of the most prosperous lines in the kingdom, doing a safe and rapidly im proving business. Within 12 years' time this pros perity has been totally destroyed, and the com mittee think it " not too much to say that nothing but a timely reversal of the policy of the Board could have saved the property of the ordinary shareholders from utter ruin." Let us next inquire what this policy was, by which more than five millions of good money were thus rendered valueless. In the first place, it was, as We have implied, a policy of incessant " extension," competition, and litigation. A sum of £2,300,000 has been expended by the Brighton Company for the sole purpose of improving their terminal accom commodation in the metropolis. During the same time, it is observed by the Committee, the South hsie spent about four millions on Dover e e s r r a n , i m a a oe a lbajoe Companycat T p . ehnats several Lu i millions I n l i , o na f Chatham , orthis pur pose.and But counting only the Brighton and South- Eastern Companies, a sum of six millions has been spent in providing terminal. accommodation for not more than 200 miles of - railway, and the original cost of this mileage was not much more than has been spent in extending the original terminus at London-bridge to Cannon-street, Charing-cross, and Victoria. The establishment of these three stations has cost as much as the original con struction of the whole of the Brighton and South-Eastern lines ; and this " ruinous expen diture" was incurred, we are told, in a great mea sure under the influence of rivalry. These two companies, now that the mischief is done, are about to be amalgamated. If this step had been taken sooner, can there be any doubt that " the public might have been equally well accommodated for less than half the cost ?" Again, another two millions of this disastrous addition to capital has been in curred for metropolitan and suburban lines. These, it may be hoped, will ultimately be remunerative, but they were none the less unjustifiable specula tions, and " a considerable time must elapse before their net earnings can equal the interest on the capital provided for their construction." Thirdly, there are the country branches, upon which another two millions and a half have been expended. This sum the committee conclude must be set down as " almost an entire loss," as there are few of these lines which even pay their working expenses. Such was the nature of this disastrous policy ; but the most interesting question remains to be asked. The shareholders, indeed, have had to sub mit like sheep to be fleeced. They knew nothing of what was going on, and were helpless in the hands of the directors. But what can be the motive which impelled the directors to persist in thus destroying their own property, as well as that of their shareholders? For it should be re membered that a director, as a large share holder, must needs have a considerable personal interest in the welfare of the company. The committee recognise that the greater number of these country extensions were " to some extent forced on the company by the fear of competition." The directors only acted on the received principles of railway administration in those days. It is now easy to see the folly of such a policy ; but it is more or less intelligible. When a rival company proposed to invade the supposed " country" of an established railway, almost any board of directors would have incurred apparent ruin to repel the in vasion. But there is a part of the story which is not capable of this explanation. The Surrey and Sussex, the Chichester and Nlidhurst, and the West Sussex Junction Railways have a character of their own, and deserve to be for ever notorious in rail way history. We must state first the account of these three lines as from time to time represented by the directors to the shareholders. It was said then that these three lines " were each promoted originally by independent parties, without the concurrence and assistance and against the wish of the Brighton Company." The directors thought it for the interest of the company to prevent the lines falling into hostile hands, and they have accord - ingly submitted from " time to time to the meetings of the company proposals for their absorption into the company's system." According l y , in 1866, the directors promoted a bill, by which the Brighton Company were authorised to subscribe largely towards the capital of these railways, and they pro.; posed in the present session to obtain a bill for taking entire possession of the lines with all their contingent liabilities. The shareholders had up to the present moment sanctioned these successive steps on the representations of the directors that the new lines were independent and hostile un dertakings. Now, wonderful to say, it is con clusively established by the committee that each of these three lines was really promoted by the staff of the Brighton Railway Company ; that the Brighton directors have been both the directors and shareholders in irec the tly or indi re ctly, new lin; and that the d almost all the mo ne y which has them. ln short , " the Surrey and Sussex was a Brighton company,beenexpended has found on sham up by persons connected with the Brighton adopted by the Brighton board, and palmed o ff on t h e shareholders of the Brighton li n e as a real a nd independent company." The i company, a g board,tat emen t s made by the dir ectors to the shareholders b • i are, in fact, denounced by the committee as delibe rate misrepresentations, which " they decline to cha racterise as they deserve," and it is perfectly asto nishing by what fatuity men of position and honour can have reconciled their consciences to the course they were taking. A deliberate scheme seems to have been entertained from the commencement for promoting these lines under false appearances, and en trapping the shareholders of the Brighton Rail wayT This into a absorbing a them been step avertedbyin step. time, a nd the lines will be abandoned, though n o t until the com pany have incurred a most serious loss. But the question we have asked remains to be answered, and any one who can give a satisfactory answer to it would confer a benefit upon all who are interested in railways : 110 - .7 can the directors have consented to be parties to these ruinous and disgraceful tran sactions? They have very nearly ruined their own company, and would have ruined it quite if they had had their own way, and they have gained nothing from these lines themselves. On the con trary, as the nominal shareholders, though they have never yet paid a penny on their shares, they seem to be legally liable to refund to the Brighton Company no small portion of its losses. The com mittee doubt whether it will be advisable to insist on this claim, but the liability exists, and it appears to be the sole personal result to the directors from their wild schemes and disingenuous manceuvres. perhaps, tractors, the solicitors, the engineers, and,. of the the subordinate officials, by whom the idea The only persons who have profited are the con the schemes off for their own these persons palmedthe board, and the directors were too purpos es upon - to the extent of guarding lines was originally conceived. It would seem. that weak to resist them, even the i r personal hon our. Whether we regard the result to the company, or the p rocess b y g eneral which it has been obtained, a more extraordinary tale has never been told.
