are sometimes at a loss to discover
iere which is the, Christian 'moralist and which the
offender. Indeed, morality and religion, which the writer
tells us are the moving figures in his work, are themselves-
strangely disguised. Morality comes along, shrieking
curses and mimicking the obscene gestures of the prosti-
tute. Religion drags out at random erring individuals
from among a whole erring community, and holds up their
physical defects for our ridicule, and their moral weak-
nesses for our denunciation.

A constant perusal of his own writings is the remedial

often indicate, on which we need not argue. With a writer
who thinks that the remedy for gambling and all the vice to
which it leads, and the diseased coadition of which it is
symptom, perfectly simple, and merely consists in
authorising policemen "to enter a public house, and
interrupt the pastiineS of youths playing cards for half

THE NEW SCHEMES FOR THE SESSION
• OF 1857.

In the month of November capitalists and shareholders
of railways have .a foreshadowing of the various demands
likely to be made on their pockets. The Gazette assumes
bulky dimensions, as in its columns all the different pro-
jects must be advertised previous to going to Parliament.
In 1844.5 the Gazettes of the month of November were large
volumes, so numerous were the different schemes afl
Most of these, however, after the expenditure of enormous
sums in preliminary and Parliamentary expenses, proved
abortive, and entailed ruin and suffering upon thousands.
The lesson then taught fc,r the time had its effect. In 18.51
and 1652, however, there was an appearance of a recur-
rence to the same mad system ; but, fortunately for the
shareholders, the dividends on the principal lines so
dwindled down that it was resolved, if possible, to compel
the different boards of directors to close their capital
accounts. In a great measure they have succeeded ; but,
nevertheless, in the present year there are still a large
number of fresh projects advertised, although, from
the state of the Money Market, there is net much chance
of many of them being proceeded with. Some of the
projects have reference to the metropolis, and would doubt-
less be great improvements if they could be carried out.
For instance, the Hungerford Beidgis Company are seeking
for powers to convert the preseut foot bridge into one for
