THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time for the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY; a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) is Published in Time for :the AFTERNOON TRAINS and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARI and all other 'NEWS in LONDON up to that flour. pe• _pon the aggregate capital they had em barked in He did not deny that the powers given to railway companies were extensive—very extensive ; but the question was, were they excessive—were they unnecessary— were they uncalled for; and, above all, were they badly used? He had had some years' experience in the working of a railway, and he would assert, most confidently, that these confessedly large powers were not abused, and that their ex istence was indispensable to the safe and prosperous .conduct of those undertakings. He cared nothing for the control of Go vernment—that might be a proper thing to vest in a Govern meat; 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 Ms (Captain Lawiss)' as to the economy that would be exercised' in the 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 mites. For the witness alluded to had spoken of the economy 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 opiniun, 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 hard-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 SIBTITORF 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 was, that it did not apply to existing railroads as well as to those whirls . 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 beneficial ; he thought they were dangerous, delusive, and unsatisfactory, and opposed to tke 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. ) -Mr. 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 fact, 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 thought 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 Board 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, therefore, 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 an small an extent as to preclude the possibility of its influencing him in giving a vote either for or against this Bill. He found him self therefore compelled to give his opposition to the Bill, as nothing could evu r induce him to give the Government of a great commercial country like this, a power in such a matter. Ile 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 for giving the Government a power to enter into railway affairs, in the cha racter of commercial speculators. Mt. SHELL rose to ask whether the Dublin and Cashel Railway would come under the operation of this Bill ? Mr. GLADSTON E—Yes. . Mr. SHEIL did not think it.was equitable it should. The money was invested by the shareholders without c ognisance 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 railway 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 .r 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 power into the: hands of Government. by founding a principle copied 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. Ile would therefore oppose the second reading. After some observations from Mr. CARDWELL and Mr. F. T. BARING.' Mr. BROTHERTON moved the adjournment of the debate. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment Against it • 173 Majority The debate was then resumed. Mr. HINDLEY thought more time ought to be given to consider this question. Mr. BRIGHT then moved the adjournment of the debate. After some discussion, the debate a•as adjourned to Thursday. The Charitable Loan Societies (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Drainage of Lands Bill was read a second time. The Canal Companies Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday week. PARTY PROCESSIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord ELIOT moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue for one year the Act 2d and 3d Will. IV. intitled an Act to restrain, in certain cases, party processions in Ireland. The Bill was only to extend to next June, aqd he haul hopes that ultimately they weuld be enabled to do away with the Idill altogether. • Mr. M. .1. O'CONNELL expressed his satisfaction at the Bill being limited in its operations to so short a period... Leave was then given to bring in the Bill; and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. THE STATE TRIALS. (FOURTH DAY.) WRIT OF ERROR. HOUSE OF LORDS, July S. THE QUEEN AGAINST O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. At a quarter-past six o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR (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 for 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 hie Leained Friends would enable him to present the ease before their Lordships in a much narrower compass, both as to the areaiments that had been used, and the answers to there. He would not occupy their Lordships' time by any preliminary observations, but would at once consider the objections that had been raised on the other side in the present case. lie would begin with diet one which, though not of material con sequence in the present case, yet was of material im portanee to the administration of criminal justice. He alluded to the entering up of the judgment, and of the re cord. It was quite impossible in his View of the case, that his Learned Friends could succeedin their arguments without calling upon the House to overturn the established law of this country as far back as there were any - traces of it. Ile would appeal to any - of their Lordship 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. It' their Lordships were to alter the law as it now stood, hundreds, nay thousands, would have been suffering punishment improperly. There could be no doubt that -the course which had been pursued in the present case in Ireland, was the recognised principle and practice of the courts. There was not a single instance of judgment being entered up in the manner in which they sought that it should be. They - asserted that the law Was that on a motion for 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 sinology with civil eases if there was a general -verdict and one count was bad the judgment was arrested, drid thex a writ of venire de novo issues, but if there is error the judgment is reversed. That was one ground on which the counsel for the plaintiffs in error lied proceeded. Another was this, that a party fund guilty of only One". Offence charged in 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 other side. Ile would net attempt •to enter at all into the'prfinciple upon which the law decided. 'sills 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 forward on the other side, he weal state what he considered to be the - principle. of the law. He lalieved it was this, that the judgment should be warranted lie , the record and the • verdict, of the jury, and then it was not an erroneous judgment. •In civil ceses the judgment was, that the plaintiff had recovered against the defendant the damages awarded by the jury, and therefore in these cases, to say whether the judgment was right, they must look to the record and the verdict ; and if they did not warrant it, it was wrong. He would take a single civil case of two counts—one a special agreement, and the other money had and received. The jury found damages 5001. Sup pose it should turn out that the special count was defee• tive, the jury would not assess the damages at 5001., be. percentage indeed w ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS,' Morning Noon, and Night, th:rehy insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

WOOD said the question of his Hon. and Gallant Friend ( Sir C. Napier) was not whether it was the intention of the Government to increase the naval force in the Mediter ranean, but whether it was the intention of the Government to increase the naval force of the country ? It was the constant practice of the present Government when in opposition, to up braid her Majesty's Government with the paltry amount of the naval force—with the weakness shown upon the seas in corn, parison with other Powers, an d w ith the defenceless conditi o l of our coast. But never had the Whigs left the shores of Eng land—the interests of England—so utterly at the mercy of the foreigner as they were now left by the '1 ory Government, by the crippled state-in which they allowed the British navy to re main. He asked the Government, then, if it was their inten tion to put the naval force of the country in such a condition as to command confidence at home and respect abroad? Sir R. PEEL said he would not give any answer to the question. Her Majesty's Government were responsible for the safety of the country for 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 asking for the amplest means of repelling pro vocation.-(Hear, hear.) He had been used unfairly, for the notice 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 PALMERSTON said there was no ground at all for complaint on the part of the Government, especially when their attacks of the year 1838 were remembered. In his opinion, a Government ought always to be ready to state the amount and distribution of the forces of the country, and whether increase was intended or not. The amount of the naval force of England was less now than ever it was, and it was the duty—the absolute duty —of the Government—to satisfy Parliament that it would ho no iitronethened and increased .• to be prepared for any emergency that might arise.—( Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL said, the proceeding altogether was a most unfair one. Why, even if he had had notice of a question, whether or not he was going to increase the naval estimates, he would not have answered that question. Every question that he had had notice of, and it was proper to answer, he had answered. But beyond that he would simply repeat what he had before salt;, that her Majesty's Government was respon sible for the honour of the country, and were not likely to shrink from the obligations which office imposed upon them. Lord HOWICK utterly denied the unfairness complained of, and it was absolutely r idiculous, coming f rom a quar t er w h ere so little of punctiliousness had been shown in former days. RAILWAYS BILL. Mr. GISBORNE said he rose not to continue the discu'- sion which, perhaps, had gone far enough at that moment, but to offer some observations before the Speaker left the chair, upon the Bill for the regulation of railways, which they were that night called upon to read for a second time. The Right Hon. Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade could not have failed to observe that, from the moment his Bill had been brought forward, opposition had sprung up against it, and that opposition had so increased and strengthened as to justify him (Mr. Gisborne) in saying that the whole railway world was in decided array against it. He was far from saying that the present laws regulating railways were perfect, but better far have their imperfections than sech regulations as the Bill then before the House would impose. He might certainly carry the measure, backed as he was by the power of Govern ment, but no measure passed hostilely would ever work well, or tend to the good conduct of railways. He therefore hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would withdraw the Bill for the present session, and save him from the necessity of dividing the House upon it. If the Right Hon. Gentleman could not, or would not, do this, he should move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. C. RUSSELL said he would vote for the adjournment. Railway companies fe:t that they had not been fully and fairly beard before the House, and he was of that opinion too. Every advantage had been withheld from them, and every obstruction thrown in their way. Every advantage was taken by the Government in the examination of witnesses, and railway companies were excluded from the investigation contrary to custom and to precedent , Not withstanding all the pains which the Government had taken to force their scheme, their case had completely broken down, eveh according to the testimony of their own witnesses. The whole proceedings were based on a principle of reciprocal interest, which was necessary in order to obtain su pport. The President of th e B oar d o f T ra d e ad milted that his scheme had failed, and up to a few (lays before the Committee had closed its labours, the Hight Hun. Gent e man had not determined upon any particular plan of operation. On behalf of the railway companies, who were perfectly unani mous in opposing this bill, he offered his most decided opposi tion to it. Universal alarm had been felt regarding the scheme proposed by the Government, 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 one 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 not 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 Non. 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 Railway Committee, 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. They had been discussing a Joint-Stock Company'S - Bill, .a Bank Charter Bill, 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 how 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 he 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 t.o Government, and yet 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 had 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, or 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-h 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 divisitim. Sir R. PEEL said he thought there was a growing opinion among the publie 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 erroneous in the system when the Hon. Mem ber for Nottingham moved that the Order of the Day be read, merely becatve 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 suggestions and 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, he 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. Alr. GLADSTONE then rose to move the second reading of the Bill. He 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 matters. 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 had framed the petitions which had been presented against this pill could descend to the assertion than the evidence which had been taken was ev 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, one of the largest railway proprietors in the kingdom ; Mr. Swift, the Agent of the Grand Junction Railway ; Air. Saunders, the Secretary to the Great Western Company ; Captain Lawes ; the floss. Member for Clitheroe (Mr. Card 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 parte 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 non-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 avocations 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.—(llear, hear. ) There were two clauses in the Bill relating to the conveyamee of the military and the mails. There were three clauses re lating to the prosecution of railway companies who exceeled 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 he had to complain of the gross misstatements which had been 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. Plow this was a perversi on o f 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 matter ab the discretion of Parliament. T he 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 consider was, the policy of the step, and whether the maintenance of public faith would permit them to make the . pd'rchaAes or revisions. The Com mittee had scrupulously adhered to the -maintenance of public ' faith, and had adopted no measures which might be deemed unwa:rantable 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. He 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. sterling 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 he 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 ; er not• to be used if circumstances did not require it. He had alecististrong objection to any measure that might incline the scale either .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.--t Hear, hear, and laughter.) He'was 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 ratans ; 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 lie 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 ? Oa the 30th of March, the Corn. 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 for 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 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 hadbeen 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 I.ondon 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 it they were authorised by the different railway companies to do so. The fact was that the movement against the hill 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 for the Bills—the men who lived oil making expenses out of them—these were the real parties who, for their owu selfish, anti sordid interests, now got up the oppo sition to this Bill.—(Cheers.) No men were happier at draw ing 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 Si. 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 Mire—he was sure that House was not to be deluded, and that nothing would induce it to defer this Bill to next session. He 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 on the side of Government, and lea's.' it was its duty to interfere now rather than later, or when obstacles would be increased, he (lid not shrink from the e ncounter. And he approached his task with the better heart because he knew the object of the Government was to secure and to strengthen property, and not to loosen or undermine it,; and also because, whatever noise or boast might be. trade by certain interested parties, lio was satisfied that railway power had not yet risen so high, and that Parliamentary authority had not sunk so low, Is to endanger the success - ot,a Bill which looked only to the great, and general, and pefma'nent interests of the country at large.—( Cheers. ) Mr. ENTWISLE said he felt the great disadvantage of following such a speaker as the Right Hon. President of th.. Board of Trade , especially after the v er y a bl e an d comprehee sive speech which he had just delivered.:—( Hear, hear.) He felt it his duty, however, in this early stage of the proceeding, to protest against any measure which might have the effect of ultimately bringing the Government into the market as competitors with the railway companies. The Bill, too, gave a c omplete power as to future railways, and he. doubted the propriety of giving so extensive an authority to any Govern ment. By and bye, the country would be one complete net work of railway, and to grant the Government the powers now sought by the Government would be to increase its patronage and 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 the railways only rt tatuted to those proprietors:sufficient to pay a very moderate EXAMPLES.

THE "BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH hereby CAUTIONS' the PUBLIC against the numberless Pills sold under fictitious names and titles, which have sprung into existence since Mr. Morison's work appeared. The parties who put forth such pills (sailing under false colours), take the name of some eminent person not in existence, and then most fraudulently make extracts from Mr. Morison's work, which they put Into their bills in order to obtain a sale for their pills. It Is, therefore, against such a nefarious practice that Messrs. Morison deem it their duty and inte rest to warn the public, being determined that the llygeian Theory of Medicine, as introduced by James Morison, the Hygoist, shall not be made a vehicle to such fraud and imposture. • MORISON and CO., Hygeists.
