HOWARD, SURGEON -DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip tion of ARTIFICIAL TEET H, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. Thts method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastication. 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. Fordham 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 the 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 deafenin g cheers. The Donnington Stakes of 1,000 soya each, h 1; for two year-old colts; Bst 121 b each ; each subscriber to name two colts and bring one to the post; Bush in ; 4 subs. Marquis of Hastings's Mamoluke, Bst 121 b ...(Fordham) 1 Duke of Hamilt on ' s I nnerdale, Bst 121 h ...(A. Edwards) 2 Betting-6 to 4on Mameluke. The race was inv es t e d w ith a lmost as much interest as the preceding ono, and the preliminary canter of the "dark" one — Matneluke—was watched With the keenest anxiety, but opinions wore 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 mieceeeded in getting his head in front, but Fordham finishing with immense determination won literally in the last stride by a head s a result which elicited loud cheering. The Bibury Stakes (handicap) of 5 sovs each, with 50 added by the club; the second to save his stake; to be ridden by members of the CIO; jockeys 71b extra ;,.last mile and a half ; .g 4 subs. - Mr. J.

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 were 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 left. Of this lot Mus keteer was the first to give way, and Ailesbury came up on the lower ground. The 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 Bat 5113 ; • Mb allowed; T.Y.C. ; 71 subs.

Betting-11 to 8 agst Europa, 9 to 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 dis .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 bo incorrect, and the favourite cantered back and weighed out without the allowance. Tho start was thus delayed for some time, and was further protracted by a false one. Eventually the 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 Boarskin. With the exception of Tibicen, who Was left at the post, they all ran is 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, Ironmaster, Lord Palmerston. and Aquila. the latter how ever, giving way before reaching the distance, where See- Saw, who ba.'l 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 Plate 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 bo 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 raco 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. Tho Champagne Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added by the club, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b; winners of 100 sovs, including the winner's own stake, 41b extra fur every such winning; from the Bush in ; 39 subs.

Betting.-3 to 1 agst Cock of the Walk-5 to 1 each agst St. Ronan, Sec-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 soya; three year olds list 21b, four 12st, five and upwards 12st 51b; the winner to he sold for 3CO soya; if entered for 200 soya allowed 71b, 150 101 b, 100 111 b; to be 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 rear. 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. DERBY. 1009 to 65 agst Mameink() (taken five times prior to the Donniugton Stakes being rim.)

The Loun CHANCELLOR took his sent ou the woolsack at five PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railw,y, the Great North of Scotland Railway, the North StaJiordshire Rail way, St. Clement's Danes Improvement, 11w East London Water, Midland and Dartmouth and South WeAern Rail way, and the Leven Works Railway Bills were read a second time. LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLEMENTAL ACT (No. 2.) The house went into committee on this bill. Some technical discussion ensued, and after a few objections the bill passed through committee. CHATHAM AND SHEERNESS STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES' BILL. The Earl of BELMORE 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' bertain 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. lIOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. PETITIONS. A number of petitions were presented against the Sun day Trading Bill, and from different places in the country praying for representation under the new Reform Bill. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from Birmingham praying for additional members to represent that borough in Parliament. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Sir G. STUCLEY asked the Vice-President of the Council whether he was aware that in many instances farmers were called upon to take a journey of 30 miles to obtain a cattle pass ? Lord R. MONTAGU said he was aware of the circum stance, but steps were being taken to remedy the in convenience. THE RIOTS AT BIRMINGHAM. In reply to Mr. MOSSELL, Mr. HARDY said he had received a letter from the Mayor of Birmingham, 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 tain 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 Lite 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.. lie would be fit for ono, but totally un fit for the other. (Hear, hear.) Both universities were excellent in their way, but they were both founded for dif ferent ends, and for different purposes. (Hoar, bear.) fie (lid not think it possible to propose the uuiou of two greater contrarieties than that now submitted to the house by her Majesty's Government. Ho could not in ac3ordance with the forms of the house move the postponement of the clause, but ho hoped the, right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would. not persevere iu pressing forward the proposal of the Government for the union of titel , re tiraversiti. , .: for 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 he 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 persons; 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 nct 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. Ho had no doubt the hon. member for Durham had poured the venomous distillment into the ears of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laughter.) He 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 ho only hoped he would and by saying "to neither a word will I say." (Loud laughter.) He thought the course they were pur suing was altogether wrong, and therefcre ho 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 he 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 Lniversities 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 boon 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.) He had heard no solid reaso* against the proposal of tho 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 unrepresented, and to prevent that he should give his vote in favour of the proposition of the Government. 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 were 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 1 Mr. TREVELYAN then moved an amendment, the effect of which was to unite the University of Durham with that of Oxford. •(Loud cheers.) lie did so because ho believed the sympathy of Oxford and Durham was stronger in sympathy than Durham and London, and therefore he moved the amendment. The CnArnmAN then put the question to oink the word "London," and to insert the words "Durham and Ox ford." Sir G. BOWYER asked whether it was the intention to give the power of voting to all the graduates at Durham ? Mr. MOWBRAY replied in the affirmative, and said that it was in the power of every now comer to become a gra duate. Of course they must have been graduates for a certain period before they became entitled to the pri vilege. Ile had further to state that he believed it was the intention of the authorities in the event of representation being given to the university, to re move the restriotions which now required members CORNER OF BOND-STREET.

After taking a few strides the favourite, on the left hand of Leonie, made play with a lead of nearly half a length, and they ran thus into the dip, where Edwards was com pelled to move on his maro to keep her in position. At the commencement of the Stand inclosure it looked "any odds" on the Marquis's representative, but Edwards, riding resolutely, and Lconie answering gamely, the pair Were head and head half a (linen strides from lorae. PRICE 4 d. STAMPED sd. of Convocation to be members of the Church of Eng land. Mr. GLADSTONE would like very much to hear on what authority the lion. member made that assertion. Mr. MOWBRAY said he merely believed that was the case from certain circumstances that had transpired, all of them pointing hi 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 o❑ the question that after the word "'London" the words "and Durham" be inserted. Ayes 226 .Noes 234 Majority —8 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 report. 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 the fellowships and foundation scholarships of Trinity College, Dublin, should be 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'COIOR 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 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. Moreover, he held that Trinity College, as now constituted, gave a good mixed educa'ion, 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 60. 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 ho 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 abio persons to secure to their wives and children the benefit of assurances on their lives by nomination en dorsed on the policy. Mr. CHILDERS moved a resolution to the effect that it was incumbent on her Majesty's Government to institute inquities 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 admiVed that the fees were *hcr untrrta.,--w.rr.i.v,.....„ but objected to prejudging the question tosifthe illegality of the foes. 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 ye form of the Middlesex registry. Sir R. PALMER said there could be no doubt of tho fees being illegal, but he recommended Mr. Childers to accede to the suggestion of the Home 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 The other business was disposed of, and the house ad. journed at twenty-five minutes before two o'clock unti 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 compinh this re cord is probably unique. It furnishes the m ost extraordinary instance which has yet come before the public eye of the manner in which round 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 1819 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.

Moreover, of the eight millions added to capital in the second period, no less than £7,300,000 was composed of preference shares and debentures, and consequently " 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.

The London, Chatham, and Dover has also spent several millions for this pur pose. 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 w e d South-Eastern lines ; and this " ruinous expen diture" was incurred, we are told, in a great mea sure under :4•e itintence of rivalry. These two companies, nOlv 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. Thes% it may be hoped, will ultimately be remunerates e, 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. The e 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 li . ave a considerable personal interest in the welfare of the company. The committee recognise that the greater number of these country extensions were " to sonic 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 Midhurst, 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." Accordingly, 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 moted by the of these three lines was really pro con clusively established by the committee that each h a ve been both the directors the Brighton directors staff of the Brighton Ra ilwa y Com p an y ; that and shareholders in the new lines; and that the Brighton company , di rec tly or indirectly, has found them. ln short, " the Surrey and Sussex was a almost all the money which has been expended on company, got up by p e rsons connected with board, adopted by the Brighton board, thesh a Brighton ri o,hton and palmed off on the shareholders of the Bri g hto n line as a real and inde p endent com p an y." Tho statements made by the directors to the shareholders 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 entrapping the shareholders of the Brighton Rail way into absorbing them step by step. This danger has been averted in time, and the lines will be abandoned, though not 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 : HOW 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 ruinel 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 its losses. The com mittee doubt whether it will be advi sable to insist Company no small portion of on this claim, but the liability ex ists, and it appears • OC/111011S manoeuvres. their wild schemes and who - to be the sole personal resu lt to the directors from disingenuous The only persons w h ave profited arc the eon , whom the idea of the lines was orig inall y conceived. the subordinate of s, It would seem that t rac tors, the solicitors, the by engineers, and, Perhaps, the schemes off for their own purposes upo n p t a h l e m h ed oard, and the directors were too even to the extent of guarding t ‘te c ea i s r ke Pptocerrs:osliliissatl them, honour. heu general result to the company, or the process by which it has been obtained, a more extraordinary talc has never been told. It affords additional evidence that nothing will be safe in railway affairs until the shareholders find some means of in suring perfect publicity. Perhaps it is not the least wonderful part of the story that after all, when two millions more capital have been raised to start the company afresh, the ordinary share holders may still hope in 1868 for a dividend of 2/ per cent., which will increase by about a half per cent. each year.
