The proviviase of hie bill wen shortly these :

diet psessager miss should be provided at every junction.
to sorry on the done, sad that the comp say having con
sand of the junctiou should be bound to attach carriages of
other linos when they retained a arida number of
gen, but he did not think it would be reasonable, if=
were only one or two prersgen la a carriage, that it should
be attached to Ms promediog train in that cise. He
also proposed that whin a train arrived after its time
at the pimento it should be breaded at the expanse of
the ocespaay which had bees the cause of the irregularity.
He also proposed that railways acting es carriers should ray
goods from every jasetioa, sad that all goods waggons and
trucks arriving at the passion should be forwarded, if re-
quired ; and that all minerals should be forwarded within
twelve hours altar notice. He now game to the most im-
p wtant clause of the bill, and which he believed had been
the occasion of all the opposition with which he was threat-
ened from the railway interest—that was the equal rating
clause. But, in reality, there wee but little of novelty in
that clause, for in elect the same provision was contained in
the Railways Clauses Cossolidation Act, the only difference
being that be omitted is the present bill the words " under
like circumitances," the introduction of which in tic bi!l he
referred to had led to much inconvenience. Titre were
the general provisions of the bill, and though he woe not
altogether emptied, susasg the depreciation which railway
property had undergone that every interference with that
property should be regarded with suspicion, he believed that
those bon. gentlemen who were connoted with railways
would bast consult the interests they represented by giving
it • fair consideration. It was not by high tolls, ezponsin
litigation, or parliamentary contests that railway property
was to be restored to its proper value, but by a large view of
the requirements of the Waffle of the country as a whole, by
anounging it is every way, and by giving the falba% faal
era for its full development. (Hear.)
The quettion having been put.
Mr. OLYN thought he could show, by a reference to the
clauses, that the bill would fail in carrying out the object the
boa member had in view. He wished the house to under-
stand that he did not ea the present occasion appear as the
representative of any particular company, and, with
regard to the eempaay with which he was more particularly
connected, he might observe that many of the proposed pro.
visions would benefit them. Filled as the se-verd clauses
were with details entering into the most intricate questing
of railway management, Ise called upon the house to pause
befogs they gave thole sanction to it without much (Lahr ie-
formatice than any they had yet had on the subject. TM

The principle of thermal bill was to afford better accom-
modatioa sad men eenaseas to the public, and, therefore, he
should support it. Inennalintoes at present were numerous.
Mr. HENLEY said that he had no concern, either
directly or indirectly in railways, and that he could not
support the present bill.
Bir H. VERNEY did not object to government integer-
roe in raileays. On the contrary, fourteen years ago he
had proposed that a oominiation meson be appointed to

(Kr. Banes) had pounded his main obj-etion to no bill

railway coomakeseors, and he messed to brume,
that he should sot object to the measuro, pro-
