From the inquiries _Which* he had instituted, it appeared that the cause of the "desertions" was to be ascribed to other reasons--Ao the . unusual high. rate of .pay in the mer chant ,service, and to. the, most improper solicitations froth various quarters to induce the , men to 'leave her` Majesty's" service. • (Hear.)'

He need. hardly remind the house that two lamentable ac cidents had occurred within the last few weeks, which shoWed the inutility of the present system of Governinent inspection. In the first case there was a most, distres sing loss *of life;' and he thought the verdict of the ci)fonpr',s jury would read her ',Majesty's Government a lesson - *hi& ought to ''show.them that if their inspee tipp ~yra,s, .to be geed„. for anything it ought to be , effective arilie safety of the travelling public., Tlli~ accident occurred:"OlVtlie: linds _between -Manchester' and Bolton, and this was the verdict of the jury :--" We find that,the deceased,, Thomas Crosten,,Richard Simmons,. and George Barbour, were killed, on the 4th day of• March inst.,' by the engine No: 13 running off the rails, and up setting; 'nearthe Dixonfold Station, on the Manchester. and. , Bolton Railway, caused by the excessive speed at which it was driven by the deceased Thomas Creston; against whom we return a verdict of rnanslarighter. And we state that,. 'althofighthrtiles Of the 'Company furnished to the guards and drivers limit the speed of expresS trains - n thirty miles , an hour, the train has usually far exceeded that speed; and we think this cannot have so constantly occurred witheat the-knowledge and approbation of the directors of the com pany.

That the permanent way of this railway, as regards sleeperS, • chairs, and rails, in • material and con struction, is generally very defective, and by no means safe ;, that, the speed .at which the points at the branch lines. are paSsed is highly dangerous ; that the quick suc cession of trains on 'the line from Mancheiter to Clifton, Junction with the East Lancashire Company is also very, „dangerous ; that the general arrangements of the company. :as to the maintenance-of way and management of trains' do not conduce to the safety 'of the public ; and we cannot too strongly condemn the management of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company on that portion of. their line known as the Bolton and Preston district. We are Also pf opinion that the speed at which express trains travel on all railways is 'so great that a stringent investigation should be' instituted by the Board of Trade as to the con struction and present condition of the permanent way,- en gines, and carriages, as well,as working arrangements ; and we fearitwill be found that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway k - nofthe only one on which such a system of. economy prevails as seriously to endanger the safety of the public." 'ln the other case the - jury returned the following verdict : 7 -" The 'verdict of. the Jury i is, that. William Ste phenson came to his death by the engine No.' 104, running off the line of rails and falling over the embankment at the west-end of viaduct, on , the Newcastle andi Tynensouth-Railway,- on -the -2d of March, 1853.

But what was the use of; the :present .system of inspection, if, as was. 'here shown, the poor people who had lost their lives perished from a want of care and an absence of due arrangement ? (Hear, hear: •Was it right:that the- Government should see these -things Occur day after day and' not interpose?

Government: to•*do ,Why, nothing more than that they. should provide for the 'public travelling, along railways the same safeguards as they required in steamboats, emigrant ships, and factories. (Hear.) Pass ing from thiiiremediate subject, he must say that the pro ceedings of some railway companies certainly required the exercise Of_ some control: The South-Eastern Company had provided carriages of such a description that they were actually obliged to bar up the windows in order to prevent the' passengers from putting out their heads lest they should come into , collision with the Walls of the b r id ges . Th ey were under the necessity of providing this precaution in order to guard against accidents from the use of those car rialtos and the narrowness of the bridges ; for it happened that a, passenger,-who had put his head out of th e w i n d ow , was killed upon the spot. In. such a case as th a t, Why, be asked, was not the ScotCh law made to apply,- by which:the' directors 'would be . criminally responsible ? If the Scotch : law had applied there wo u ld h ave b een f ar m o r e care t a k en to secure the safety of the public. He held, further, that there ought to be a 'tribunal to which the public might forthwith appeal-,,where the.aecommodation was not suit able, where the traffic arrangements were incomplete, and where hostilities existed between rival companies -detri mental to the public service.' At present we had nothing' of the spirt. In bringing this, subject under the notice of :the house,- he-had no.,party or 'private piirposes to serve. He was moved solely by a desire to discharge his public duties. (Hear.), If, he would add, the circumst ance ' s 'h e had detailed- painted out the fact that there was a great disregard f2r.the public safety,on the part of the railway conipanies themselves, then the house, in his judgment, was bound to affirm the resolution he should move; ; but if they thought - these things were incidental to railway •tra yelling, inid , beyothi all , ieritedY, then the resolution would fall to the ground. ~ Ilut he was sure the house would' ar-. rive f at the iunclusion.that, they were not . beyond remedy, anti that the railways 'of this country must be put 'under' such a systeiii of 'inspection as would provide for the public sakity.Tlielseredeobainitteetew sitting, he feared, would ,lead. , to•nopraptical•restilt, and, therefore he hoped thehiduse would give the Board of Trade effectual powers. as' he expedted, r eothing `Shblild result from the committee, and no proposition should be made on the part of her Majesty's Government, at a future time, think it'his duty Soni'd effectual feniedy for the evils he'had.-On deavoured to ,point out. 14, the meantime he begged •to move—" That'it is the duty of a goOdGovemment to pro pose to thielinuse all each measures as may appear neces sary for, the public safety.

(11ear,,hear..) During the last few days we have hid a :document laid.before us through. the public Tress of great interept. : :. It•ws.4 the result of an inquiry which, by direction of, the Congress of the United States, has been made by , a . committee for the purpose of ascer taining homrkfar the interference of:Government is desirable for the purpose of .preventing accidents. There is a great deal well - worth reading that report,- The committee say. it is very.doubtful whether a more direct interference might , not tend to increase the danger , to the public, instead of diminishing it; and they give the following reasons "To divide the authority from which the regulations necessary. to effect these objects must .emanate, would give rise to confusion and embarassmentc, engender bad feelings and hostility on the part of companies, take from officers their reipoitsibility,.and might result disastrously for the safety 'of the- public."

That is Certainly to do what we are doing, namely, most carefully to assist in the examination of these Matters, and to -ascertain the state of the law as it exists in different parts of the kingdom, in order that we may' obtain one which, will be effectual. It only remains, then, to consider What' 'lb be done with the motion.

' This led hies to remark, in comparing the accidents on English with the accidents on foreign railways, on the greater speed and •greater number of trains in this country. -In Belgium there were few ac cidents ; but' by -the Belgian trains they did not travel mute faster than' 'by the old stage coach. -(Hear, hear.) lii France there were few accidents ; and in America, until • lately, their number • was very limited: - •The speed, com paratively speaking, was slow; and the number of trains would be totally inadequate to meet the -'wants of an Eng- • lish , eommunity. s Where , imEngland 'ten or twenty trains were run, in France-or-America the number was . only four or five. As the.speed was increased,' the number of acci dents increased. In a , recent letter from Berlin he saw an 'acrSumt of five serious accidents on the Prussian- railways, and in America the . SOU of the President had-lost his life ' in 'as fsightful a casualty as had ever been-reported.

He did not dispute the fact that accidents had oc curred which-ought not to have occurred; .and that they 'Ought to be prevented' by legislation,. if legislation could prevent them. ißut-no later than the last half-year, it was sshoWis by an official return. hat,. with the multiplicity of trains, and the high into of speed to medt, the public wants - only one passenger had lost his lie from causes beyond his 'Own controL •• -In conclusion; .ha would observe, that in common-with all who were interested in the subject of rail . way accidents, he hoped mom° , good would result from the committee now presided ever :Ltylthe, President af testßord, of Trade.
