It was the constant practice of the present Government braid her Majesty's Government when in opposition, to Governmentup with the paltry amount of the naval force—with the weakness shown upon the seas in corn, parison with other Powers, and with the d e f enceless conditio 4 of our coast. But never had the Whigs left the sh or e s o f En g .: land—the interests of Engl an d—so utterly at the mercy of the foreigner as they we t he crippled state•jore n ow l e f t by the glory Government, by main. He asked the which they allowed the British navy to re- Government, then, if it was their inten tion to put the naval f orce of the country its such a condition as to command confidence at home and respect ab road? Sir R. PEEL said he w ou ld not give any answer to the question. Her Majesty's Government were responsible fur the safety of the cou , ntry_f or the honour of the country ; and whenever one or the other were endangered, they would have no have no hesitation whatever in instantly coming down to Parliament, and „ kin for the amplest means of repelling pro vocation.-(Hear, hear .) He had been used unfairly , for the no tice given to him by the Gallant Officer was simply whether it was the intention of the Government to increase the naval force in the Mediterranean. Lord PALMERS TON said there was no ground at all for complaint on the part of the Government, especially whin t h e ir attacks of th e y.ear 1838 were remembered. In his opinion, a Government ought always to be ready to state the amount and distributi on d vvbether increase t,as of the forces of the country, an intended c or not. The amount of the naval force England was less now than ever it was, and it —of the Government —to was the duty—the absolute duty satisfy Parliament that it would bo so •trongthened and ' increased a. t° be prepared for any emerge ncy that might arise.— ( Cheer Sir R.

Universal alarm had most decided opposi the scheme proposed by the Government,been felt regarding and a deputation, consisting of some of the largest railway proprietors in England waited upon the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, but their proposal was rejected. On be half of all the railways in the' kingdom—on behalf of tine hun dred millions of property—he begged of the House to give them time to consider this important measure before Parliament. The evidence, which was so voluminous, had riot been on the table longer than since the middle of June, and had not been perused even by the Ministers themselves. Was the House prepared even to discuss the propriety of so important a change in rail. way speculation ? They asked for time till the early part of next session to consider this Bill, and he hoped the House would not refuse the prayer.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not think the /lon. Member for Nottingham had well considered his motion ; for the effect of it would be a refusal to entertain or even consider the measure. The Bill must be first explained to the House and to those out of doors who had petitioned the House in such numbers. The Bill proposed to the House had the sanction of the -Govern ment and of the RailWaiCommittee, and was, in fact, grounded upon the reports of Railway Committees. He felt that it would be necessary to explain the objects and nature of the Bill. Mr. HAVES said he did not think it had been reasonable to promise an opinion upon the Bill when the body of evidence that had been laid on the table of the House had not been perused. Since the evidence had been laid upon the table, various most important measures had been under the considera tion of the House. Tl.ey had been discussing a Joint-Stock Company'l Bill, a" Bank Charter 13ill, and other most im portant subjects. Besides, he did not think the Right Hon. " Baronet at the head of the Government had acted fairly by them, for on a previous occasion he said the House should be - very cautious bow they interfered with existing railway com panies. He thought the Vice-President of the Board of Trade had failed to make out a.case to resist the motion of the Hon. Member for Nottingham. Mr. COLQUHOUN said be thought it would be wrong to refuse to enter into the discussion at present ; however, he must say, that they had not as yet sufficiently pe rused the report - of the. Committee. He considered the present-step a most dangerous one, and one unprecedented in the history of British Legislature, transferring almost all the power from private capitalists to Government. and }et that same Government had refused to interfere with factory labour on the very same principle on which they now attempted to act. The idea of passing such a Bill at such a period of the session was absurd, and the provisions of the Bill were most unfair, injurious, and of an unprecedented nature. Mr. WALLACE said he believed the railway interest bad come doin to that House 'for the purpose of stopping the pro gress of this Bill upon the ground that the Legislature at tempted to interfere between railway companies and the public. The Railway Committee upon which the report on the table was founded was composed for a great part of railway capitalists, and a great number of witnesses were examined on behalf of the railway interest. He protested against those Hon. Mem bers who were directly interested in railway speculations voting on this Bill. He would support the second reading. Mr. GISBORNE 'was averse to discussing the Bill at so late a period of the session; and before Hon. Members had time to peruse the evidence. Mr. H; HINDE denied, in the most positive manner, that the railway interest had, in any way, attempted to obstruct the Bill of the Government, but due time had not been given for the consideration of the evidence. If the Right Hon. Gentle man would postpone the decision on the measure till next ses sion, he would offer no opposition to a full discussion, and a second reading of. it during this session. At the same time, even if the Government persevered, he would offer it no unfair opposition. Mr. LABOUCHERE said the question now before the House was not whether it should affirm the principle of the Bill, but whether there was anything in its nature to prevent its discussion in the, present session. He thought they should dis cuss the measure fully during the present session. The mea sure was as mu-. 11 the offspring of the Committee as of the. Government, and •he would vote for its second reading. It had been said that the evidence on the table had not been fully known or promulgated, but according to the statements of railway companies them selves they seemed fully acquainted with the evidence, and with every principle the Bill introduced, and they gave it their unqualified condemnation. He did not think the interests of the companies and those of the public were distinct and sepa rate, but were altogether identical. He thought the Bill be fore the House would be -eminently beneficial to both. He hoped they would now proceed to discuss the Bill in the usual way, and trusted the Hon. Gentleman would not press his motion to a divisieM. . Sir R. PEEL said he thought there was a growing opinion among the public that railway companies were becoming mo nopolies. The Hon. Member was still worse than the Athe nian, for the Athenian said '‘ Strike, but hear," but the Hon. Member would strike but refuse to hear. Must there not be something very erroseous in the system when the Hon. Mem ber for Nottingham moved that the Order of the Day be read, merely becau:e his Right Hon. Friend, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, had attempted to explain the principles of the measure to the House? The object of the Government was to prevent undue exaction and to make these great public concerns as beneficial both to the capitalists and to the public as possible. It had been said that the present period of the ses sion was too late to introduce any measure on the sub ject of railways, but they had had sixty new applications for railways during the present session, and "they would in all probability have sixty more. He could never believe that the House of Commons would so far protect and shelter monopoly, as to prevent his Right Hon. Friend, the representative.of the Government, from explaining the objects and nature of the Bill. The Government, he re peated, had and could have no other object in view but the pub lic good. They offended a large and influential body of capi talists, many of their strenuous supporters, so that they must, at all events, get credit for perfect disinterestedness. Again. the Government only adopted the suggestionsand recommenda tions of the Committee ; they were, in short, only carrying out their recommendations, and acting in accordance with the evi dence brought before them- Until the four tellers declared at the table of that House that the motion of the Hon. Member opposite was successful, be never could believe that the power of monopoly was so strong in the House of Commons, as to refuse, not only to pass a useful measure, but to deprive the Govern ment of the power of explaining its principles, nature, and ob jects. All the Government wished was a full, fair, and impar tial discussion ; they would be ready to hear suggestions from any Hon. Member, and give them their best consideration. The sort of strategy which had been resorted to by railway directors was rather of an unusual description. The Right Hon. Gentleman read a circular from the railway directors which had been received by a grocer at Deptford, requesting of him, as an elector, to request of his representative to give the Government Railways Bill all the opposition in his power, but the grocer replied that if he had a vote himself he would give it in favour of the Government measure, so that the rail way directors did not further impress on this individual the necessity of - communicating his opinions to his representative. (A laugh.) No ; let the measure be judged upon its merits and utility, and by that test the Government was prepared to abide.—( Cheers. ) Mr. R. YORKE recommended the Hon. Member for Not tingham to withdraw his motion. Mr. GISBORNE then withdrew his motion. Several petitions against the Railways Bill were presented from various railway companies. Mr. GLADSTONE then rose to move the second reading of the Bill. Ho said that this was not a question of party, on which the Government could appeal to the sympathy of their supporters. Everything that could be done to throw opposition in the way of this Bill had been adopted on the part of, many of the railway companies in the country. The statements, however, upon which that opposition was founded were. all at variance with facts. No Bill that had ever come before Parliament had ever met with greater mis representation. So anxious were the Government to secure to railway companies a full and fair representation in the Com mittee, that four gentlemen were appointed on that Commit tee who were themselves railway directors. This was con sidered by many Hon. Members as an undue leaning towards railway companies, and the consequence was, that two of those gentlemen were withdrawn. The list of that Committee in cluded gentlemen who were known to be conversant with rail way matte's. He would, first of all, address himself to the charge which had been brought against this Committee of partiality. He could not conceive how the gentlemen who bad framed the petitions which had been presented against this pill could descend to the assertion than the evidence which had been taken was e.r parte evidence. They would deprive words of all meaning if they were to sanction such words as these to be- applied to this Bill. Why, the witnesses exa mined were persons themselves connected with railways. Twelve witnesses were examined, and two of them were per sons connected with the Board of Trade. The whole of the other witnesses were railway directors. There was Mr. Glynn, the Chairman of the Birmingham Railway ; Mr. Hudson, the • Chairman of half-a-dozen railways in the north ; Mr. Baxen dale, ono of the largest railway proprietors in ie kingdom ; Mr. Swift, the Agent of the Grand Junction Railway ; Mr. Saunders, the Secretary to the Great Western Company ; Captain Lawes ; the Hon. Member for Clitheroe (Mr. Csril well) ; Mr. Wilkinson, Chairman of the London and Croydon Railway; Mr. Rowland Hill, who was known in connection with another question, and Mr. Harding, the Secretary to the Glasgow and Greenock Railway. These were called cx pane witnesses. How, he would ask, could such words be applied to such a subject? His Hon. Friend the Member for Read ing, in the Committee, said, that railway companies ought to be allowed to call witnesses. Why his Hon. Friend himself was on the Committee as the representative of railway companies. Mr. C. RUSSELL intimated dissent. Mr. GLADSTONE did not say that his Hon. Friend had been chosen by the railway companies, but he was an active supporter of the views of those who entertained opinions of nun-intervention with respect to railways. Why did not his Honourable Friend the Member for Reading in Committee, complain of the es* parte evidence ? In entering into tne consideration of the subject which was submitted to them, ,of course one of the first questions upon which they deliberated was the question of accommodation for third class pasengers. The Committee felt that on this question they were justified in introducing a clause into the Bill, which to a certain extent might be called interference. It would be recollected, that those parties whose avoeatibns led them to different parts of the country, who were compelled to travel in third class carriages, were persons ill calculated to bear exposure to the weather, and a clause to protect them had been framed and introduced into the Bill.—( Hear, hear. ) There were two clauses in the Bill relating to the conveyauee of the military and the mails. There were three clauses re lating to the prosecution of railway companies who excee.led the powers which had been conferred upon them by Parlia ment, and there were two clauses relating to loan notes. The remaining portions of the Bill were relating to the general sub ject of railway reform. They were about now to discuss the great question of option on the part of the Government with respect to the general management of railways. And now lie had to complain of the gross misstatements which had been in dulged in with respect to this , Bill. Those statements were, that this Bill had been brought forward to enable the Execu tive to purchaie or revise future railways, upon certain terms, if they thought fit to do so. Now this was a perversion of - the real objects of the Bill. The Bill gave the Government cer tain powers with respect to future railways, but the policy of using these powers was entirely vested in the Parliament it:elf. The express object of the Bill was to place the whole mat ter at. the discretion of Parliament. The ground taken by the Com mittee was this, that even if it were politic to purchase or revise, were they now in a condition, with reference to existing railways, to entertain the question ? The two questions they had to conslder was, the policy of the step, and whether the maintenance of public faith would permit them to make the pul•cha , .es or • revisions. The Com mittee had scrupulously adhered to the maintenance of public faith, and had adopted no measures which might be deemed unwarrantable with respect to existing railways. With re . - gard to future railways they had reserved certain powers, and having done so, they reserved the question of policy with respect to carrying those powers out for the deliberation of Parliament. There were some gentlemen who recommended the purchase of all railways by the State. The Committee were not prepared to adopt this recommendat on and opinion. He (Mr. Gladstone) would certainly oppose such a proposition. Ile did not think that in the present state of the railway system, there were grounds sufficient to warrant the adoption of such a measure. This Bill left the question of policy en tirely open. To purchase any railway, the Government would have to come to Parliament for the means, and then the question of the expediency of the plan would be fully en tered into. It was not too much to expect, that in a very few years as much as 15,000,0001. sterlicg annually would be spent by the people of this country in the shape of fares to railway companies; and therefore it was important that the Government should have the powers which this Bill conferred, if by that means a saving to the public could be effected. Under the' present system of railways the experiment which the Government proposed never could be made, They might have it tried between London and" Greenwich, or between Glasgow and Greenock, but not on a large and general scale in the country. Now ho did say, for those reasons, that it was politic and wise in them as states men, to retain in their hands a power to be used at an after period-for the good of the public,' if they found it politic to do so ; or int - to be used if circumstances did not require it. He had aliciat'sitrong objection to any measure that might incline the scale eittier.one way or another; but that before them only called on Parliament to maintain its own free agency.' It was perfectly impossible for the Executive to alter or revise, with out first resorting to Parliament. It had been said that it was the object of the Government to keep that a close question. He denied that such was the desire of the Government. They rather wished to open a question that was now closed, and to put Parliament in such a condition that they might decide upon and settle it. It might be wise to try the working of this mea sure, or it might not ; he was not going to say how Parliament ought ultimately to to proceed ; but, in the meantime, Parlia ment only enacted that, at some future time, it might be law ful for Government to purchase railways. But the opponents of this measure may say, Tell us, first, when you mean to pur chase them, and on what terms." It would be impossible for Government to make any reservation in that case, and they had thought they were bound to reserve a certain power, in order to show those who might be afterwards disposed to invest capital in improvements calculated to do much good to the country, what would be the terms on which Government should take those railways under their own protection. It was a very singular matter, and the question was an amusing one. How happened it that this Bill, which affected only the prospective railways, had been unopposed by those having Bills at present before Parliament ?—( Hear, hear.) How came it, he asked, that the opposition arose altogether from the old companies, and whose rights the Government had paid every attention to? He wanted much to know on what possible grounds of reasoning they founded their opposition to the measure? One reason he believed they alleged was this.; that they would ultimately be driven under the operation of the Bill. The very language used was, that Government would force them into it, however ruinous and oppressive they might find it. But how could Government force them into it ? He (Mr. G.) had already shown that Government could do nothing towards forcing them into it; and could it believe that they would be drawn into any such ruinous and op pressive course ? Surely they mistrusted themselves too much. —(Laughter.) They might surely have exhibited a little more confidence.—( Laughter. ) This he would say, that if any course could tend to weaken those companies, it was the course they were then pursuing. He was addressing a ma jority of railway proprietors in that House.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) He'vvas himself a railway proprietor ; his family were most extensively connected with railway companies ; and he repeated that nothing could weaken rail way 'companies like an undue use of their present great power.—( Hear, hear.) Had Parliament shown any wish or inclination to oppress and thwart public companies ? Had it evinced a disposition to second the clamour raised out of doors against the management of railway companies? Yet those railway companies whose power was so strong, stronger perhaps than any other in commanding the votes of Members —(Cries of " No, no") —he imputed no' motives to Hon. Members, but it seemed odd, with respect to their opposition to this Bill, how, if they had no confidence in a future Parliament, they could place any confidence in the present one. They objected that Government might at a future period buy up some poor railway, and so make use of its resources to injure a rich one. His answer to that was, that Government could not do that without first coming to Parliament for the means ; and he thought they would be able to combat then and to defeat the unworthy Government, which would enter the commercial lists with a stronger purse for the pur pose of ruining other parties. If Government were inclined to pursue this unworthy policy then, what was to prevent them from doing so now ? Why this, that Parliament would listen to no such proposition. He thought those were the two objections on which this Bill had been opposed, first, that Government might buy, and secondly, that sufficient time had not been given to the House and to the country to consider its provisions. With respect to the irst, he hail already stated his opinion upon it, and with regard to the second he would briefly say a few words upon it. And first, he at once admitted that if the House were called on to affirm the policy of the Government purchasing railways, this objection would be a strong one ; but that objection did not apply to a measure of definite legislation. That Bill ought to have been denominated a Bill for reserving the discretion of Parliament—he repeated reserving its discretion, and he had no hesitation in saying that, if those notes of the Committee had been lost, he would not have scrupled to recommend the Bill to the consideration of Parliament. But he asked, how stood the objection with respect to the ques tion of time ? On the 30th of March, the Com • mittee recommended, and on the 3d of April the report was on the table of the House. More than three months had, therefore, elapsed since the recommendation had been intro duced to the notice of Members. Why they (the Government) were the persons who were taken by surprise in the matter. The report and the Bill were published on the 3d of April, and, therefore, when Hon. Gentlemen spoke of being taken by surprise, he imagined that himself and his colleagues had the most right to complain. They might say, probably, that no one thought of the report ; but he said that fewer documents had been the object of greater attention either in that House or throughout the country. It was ad verted to, and printed in all the London newspapers, and in the majority of the Irish press. The principal railway newspapers had also referred, and extracted from it, and they had praised the moderation and cautious tone of the report; and all that was done three months ago; and nothing then but the utmost con cord was expressed fur the measure; and until other matters came on, to which he would not then advert, that report main tained its interest with the public. lie complained that they (the Government) were misrepresented, and that, too, in the petition from the Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway. They stated that the report was not laid on the table of the House till the 24th of May, and that most voluminous papers were not pro duced till a fortnight afterwards. He complained of this as a misrepresentation. What were the facts ? The Bill was founded upon the report which had been laid before the House on the 3d of April. The Hon. Gentleman then read the answers given to the Committee by the Chairman of the London and Birmingham Railway, in which that gentleman expressed his opinion that the present Bill should be intro duced without delay. He deprecated the consequences of de lay. By the beginning of next session, they would have one or two hundred Railway Bills before the House, and it would be July before they could get at the second reading of this Bill.—( Hear, hear.) The opposition to this Bill was composed of different elements, but he apprehended that the real opposition was that set on foot by parliamentary agents and solicitors. It had been stated, that the competition between rival lines of railway would preserve the interests of the public without the necessity for this mea sure. They would perhaps allow him to introduce something by way of episode. The London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railways quarrelled some time ago, and the rival companies proposed new lines of railway for the purpose of opposing others, and so lowering the rates of transit to the public. Like lovers' quarrels, however, they became friends again, and the public were no longer thought of, and so it would be, if this measure was not carried, in future and similar cases. He ( Mr. Gladstone) seeing the way in which the opposition to this Bill was going on, had written to the parties whose petition had, a night or two ago, been presented, to know if they were authorised by the different railway companies to do so. The fact was that the movement against the bill was ori ginated and solely carried on by those who lived and thrived upon the abominably lavish expenses which attended every Railway Bill on its transit through the House. It was those parties who thronged the lobby, persecuting Members for their votes—the agents fur the Bine—the teen who lived on making, expenses put of them—these were the real parties who, for their own selfish, and sordid interests, DOW got up the oppo • sition to this Bill.—( Cheers. ) No men were happier at draw .ine up petitions and other documents, just steering clear of absolute falsehood, but misrepresenting everything which, as it. appeared to them, militated against their own interests. —(Loud cheers.) But he would come to his last topic. 'The Bill he was thew recommending had been represented as an attack upon railway property. Why, since the Committee had been sitting, since the reports had been made—yes, since that very Bill had been brought in, rail way property had been rising in value.—(Cheers.) The shares of the Great Western Railway had risen 51. The railway market had never been more buoyant ; and at the present mo ment there were no less than fifteen new railway schemes coming to Parliament, whose united capital would not be less than 20,000,0001.—( Hear. ) But he would argue the question no further. Neither the Committee nor the Govern ment had done anything, or contemplated anything, to the in jury of existing railway property, or to shake public confidence in it. All they wanted was, to legislate for the remote future. After the statements he had made—the facts he had cited— the motives he had laid bare—he was sure that House was not to be deluded, and that nothing would induce it to defer this Bill to next session. lie knew the power of railway compa nies, and had ever felt satisfied that with justice on their side they were irresistible. But knowing that justice was nit the side of Government, and feeliug it was its duty to interfere now, rather than later, or when obstacles would be increased, he did not shrink from the encounter. And lie approached his task with the better heart because he knew thy object of the e Govermaent was to secure and to strengthen property, and net to loosen pr undermine it.; and also because, whatev er noise sir great,endanger ae the l saboastti sfied might h a t r b a e il , wy m a ad p e ew h e y r certain not yet interested risen so high, that. w Parliamentary alicit a u vi th 4 o i r e i h t y hadek looked t e s n u l n y k t seo thelo nd n w to success of,a and permanent. interests of the country at large.—( Mr. ENTWISLE said he felt the great disadv at n' e ) iag f following such a sp e aker as the Bight thin. President of ml. Board of Trade, especially after the very abl e an d compte I eI. sive speech which he had just delivered.—( Hear, h e a r . ). hlr felt it his duty, however, in this early stage of the oceedi l to protest against any measure whi c h might have r the e ff ect of ultimately bringing the Government into the market co mpetitors with the r a il way compan i es.

By and bye, th e country wou ld b e one complete net workn of railway, and to grant the Government the powers now sought by the Government would be to increase its patronage arid influence to an almost fearful extent. It should be recollected, too, that most of the railway proprietors were interested in several lines, and to his knowledge it frequently happened that the most successful of - tttped to those proprietors.adficient to pay a very moderate EXAMPLES. • Bonus Bonus 1a g ,5 ,43 Premium. 41;4 added.

DECLARATION OF THE; GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON, We, the rndersigncd, solemnly declare that before Th omas Bo Inns, one of our parishioners, comenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person mig it have laid his fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them tar some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this Country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scotbutic D rops," have co r pletcly cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any mai in our parish. From ether cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

"f~ ~~/ / ‘l/, i .~~ ' ?On' the aggregate capital they bad em rked in them. He did not deny that the powers given 'to railway companies were extensive—very extensive ; but the' question was, were th e y excess i ve — were th ey unnecessary— need were they uncall e d f or ; an d, a b ove a ll , were t h ey badly He had had s ome . years' experience in the working of a arge e n t o w e thee railway, and he wo u ld asser t, most con fid ent l y . t h a t th es e confessedly not snre a s b n u d s etl prosperous , an d tha conduct n t n h d e n i r e t or ex istencewas indispensablel pw those undertakings. He cared nothing for the control of Go vernment—that might be a proper thing to vest in a Govern ment; but he protested against, interference with the property of railways—against anything, indeed, save supervision. The' Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) had alluded to the evidence of a friend of his (Captain Lawes) •as to the economy that would be exercised in the -ma nagement of railways should - Government hereafter become the purchasers of some of them. But the Right Hon. Gentleman's argument was based upon false pre mises. For the witness alluded to had spoken of the econom y that might be introduced on the supposition that. Government was to become the purchasers of all, and the managers of all, the railways in the kingdom. Great stress was laid upon the accommodation that ought to be pro vided for the poor man. But for his part he be lieved that those who clamoured so loudly about the poor man were in fact but striving for themselves. Many and many were the gentlemen he had seen travelling in the third class carriages, and they, in his opinion, were the parties who were really agitating for this cheap and comfortable transit, having these thoughts about themselves,. though their words were all about the poor and the bard-working. It was improper, in his opinion, that Government should have, such a power vested in them as would enable them to cripple private capital and useful speculation. He would give his most stedfast opposition to the Bill. They ought to allow time for the railway public to speak for themselves. He would move that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. The amendment having been seconded, Colonel SIBTHORP complained of having been erro neously reported in the morning papers. It was represented that he said on a late occasion—the Poor-law debate—that he had no confidence in her Majesty's Ministers. That was not true—he had the greatest confidence in them, and believed the Bill they now brought forward would be productive of great public advantage. The fault he found with the Bill war, that it did not apply to existing railroads as well as to those which . were to be still formed. He did not drive in railroads—be hated the very name of railroads.—(Laughter.) Ile did not think the present railroad speculations would be ber.eficial ; he thought they were dangerous, delusive, and unsatisfactory, and opposed to the constitution of the country.--( Laughter.) With these feelings he would give his fearless and cordial assent to • the Bill. He did not wish to have the measure postponed to the next session of Parliament ; he would say beware of man traps and spring guns.—( Laughter.) The Bill ought to be at once discussed.—(Hear, hear. ) LABOUCHERE said he would trespass but a very short time on the attention of the House. He did not agree with Hon. Members who had spoken that night in condemning railway directors and railway proprietors—he thought the spirit of enterprise which they evinced, and the practical manner in which they. carried it out, most creditable 'to themselves and advantageous to the public.—( Hear, hear.) In point of feet, the railway companies of the country possessed a vast mono poly. That monopoly the Government ought jealously to look to, and he felt regret, therefore, that the present Bill had Riot been introduced before. The principle of this Bill was to un fetter the Legislature with respect to railway companies. This, he thought, they ought to do with respect to those railways which were still left in their power—he meant those compa nies who, in future sessions, should come to Parliament for power to construct new railways. He must say, how ever, that he thought that a• very strong ground ought to be shown before the Government took the management of any railway in the country. He looked upon the revision of fares as an experiment more likely to be successful than that of the purchase of railways.—( Hear, hear.) He must, however, confess that it was highly important that the power of purchase should be maintained. He t hought that less injustice would be done to the railway interest by the interference of the Government, than any other interest with respect to which the Government might attempt to legislate. He was of opinion the principle of this Bill was one which the House might safely adopt. Lord. SANDON said, he had certainly, on the reading of the Bill the first time, come to the conclusion that it was in tended to give the Government the absolute and unconditional control over all the railways. He was glad, hoWever, to hear the explanation of the Right Hon. Gentleman the President of the Beard of Trade, and after what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman, he should certainly feel justified in supporting the principle of this Bill, and he should, thetefore, vote for the second reading. Mr. M. PHILIPS could not feel himself justified in voting for the second leading of this Bill. He thought it was a Bill which interfered with private property, and was one which was likely to embarrass commercial operations, and to limit their extent. He fully participated in the opinions which had been formed out of doors with respect to this Bill, 'al though he was not a railway proprietor, except to so small an extent as to preclude the possibility of its influencing him in giving a vote either fur or against this Bill. He found him self therefore compelled to give his opposition to the Bill, as nothing could evtr induce him to give the Government of a • great commercial country like this, a power in such a matter. He could not see the policy, either prospectively or at present, of the Government taking any power in the matter. Mr. PARKER rose amidst loud.cries of " Divide, divide." He objected to this commencement of a principle forgiving the Government a power to enter into railway affairs, in the cha racter of commercial speculators. • Mr. SHELL rose to ask whether the Dublin and Cashel Railway would come under the operation of this Bill? Mr. GLADSTONE—Yes. Mr. SHELL did not think it,was equitable it should. The money was invested by the shareholders without c Ignisance of the intentions of the Board of Trade.. He contended that money already invested, as in the Cashel Railway, was to be re garded as a railway already in existence. Every railssay in Ireland, with the single exception of the Dublin one, only five miles in length, would fall within the operation of the Bill. In England there were above 2,000 miles•or line excepted ; and , in the sister island every railway, with the single exception he had stated, would come under its operation. By the passing of this Bill they would be covering the country with anomalies. —(Great laughter.) The whole Bill was a monstrous_ ano maly.—(Great laughter.) it was giving more passer into the: - hands of Government by founding a principle eispied from. con tinental countries. They could not in the commercial, history of this country, show a single case of a similar charac- . ter to the present to the present time. Me would therefore oppose the second reading. After some observations from Mr. CARDWELL and Mr. F. T. BARING,' Mr. BROTH ERTON moved the adjournment of the debate.

THE STATE TRIALS. (FOURTH DAY.) WRIT OF ERROR. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 8. TIIE QUEEN AGAINST O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. At a quarter-past six o'clock, the Lora) CHANCELL9R (addressing the Attorney-General) said—That they were ready to hear the arguments ,on behalf of the _ Crown. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, on behalf of the Crown, it would not be necessary either for himself or his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General fur Ireland, to occupy any great portion of the time of their Lord ships, because, although the arguments for the plaintiffs in error had lasted four days, yet the attention which he had thought it his duty to pay to the arguments of his Learned Friends would enable him to present the case before their Lordships in a much narrower compass, both as to the arguments that had been used, and the answers to their. He would not occupy their Lordship' dine by any preliminary observations, but would at once consider the objections that had been raised on the other side in the present case He would begin with that one which, though not of material con m-pence in the present case, yet was of material im portance to the administration of criminal justice. Ile alluded to the entering up of the judgment, and of the re cord. It WIIS quite impossible in his view of the case, that his Learned Friends could succeed'in their arguments without calling upon the House to overturn the e;talAislied law of this country as far back as there were any - traces of it. lie would appeal to any - of their Lordships whether, until this question was mooted at the bar, any lawyer in England had ever heard, or would venture to say, that he knew of any case whatever in which a judgment had been set up in the mode in which it was sought to be set up in the present case. If their Lordships were to alter the law as it pow stood, hundreds, nay thousands, would have which 'Threes theel,h, a h rs e a nc d oo t b g e t tn e i s n s iin d p g u pi r er s j i n i n e es d itp.l i ne n cae t n h od e f been suffering punishment improperly.

They asserted that the law was that on a motion fur arrest of judgment, if one count was bad the whole were bad, and that on a writ of error the judgment must be reversed. That being their doctrine it became important to consider what were the arguments, and what were the authorities upon which it was put forward. They stated 'that by anology with civil cases if there was it general verdict and one count was bad the judgment was arrested, rind them a writ of venire de nova issues, but if there is error the judgment is reversed. That was one ground on which the counsel for the plaintills in error lied proceeded. Another was this, tbat a party fund guilty of only one offence clng( din the indictment conld not be punished for all — such a thing would he a hardship on the parties. That he believed was, the substance of the argument on the ether side. Ile would not attempt to enter at all into the - Prtnciple upon which the law decided. his Learned -Friends had not stated a single authority to call in question the law of the country, but they rested them ' selves on civil cases, and the hardships to the defendants. That being the ground put I;navard on the 1 other aide, he would state a-hat he considered to be tit© r . j y t t i . , i i i .4.
