RAILWAY FARES AND AMALGAMA-

TIONS.

ENULISHIMN dislike monopolies as heartily as
coalitions. They have a firm belief in the ad-
vantages of fair competition. This faith has
heretofore been displayed in legislation for railways.
Parliament has been laudably jealous of a single
great company becoming an autocrat in the matter
of locomotion, and acting the part of a modern
Roa Roy by levying black mail on all whose
business or pleasure consists in journeying from
place to place. The sanction which the House of
Commons has already given to a scheme which em-
powers several companies to consult their own in-
terests rather than thoconvenience of the public, has
Attracted the greater notice, and merits the severer

speed in

These figures show that at kresent on the
Brighton Company a halfpenny a mile is charged
for the fast trains in excess of that charged by the
London and North Western, and nearly four-
tenths of a penny more than what the Great
Northern charges for a train service almost iden-
tical. For slower trains the clutige in the South
Eastern is nearly three farthings a mile greater
than that of the North Western, and a halfpenny
greater than on the Great Northern. Thu
Chatham and Dover can take credit for ex-

ceeling all other lines in the imperfection of
the service and the exorbitancy of the

charge, which is one penny a mile or 50 per cent.
higher than that of the London and North
Western. We should add that the Great
Northern and London and North Western Com-

panics have abolished Express fares, whereas they
not only exist on the other lines, but it is proposed
to obtain the permission of Parliament to impose
them without restriction as to a maximum. It is
worthy of note that the shares of the N. till London
Railway, on which the fares are lower than on
any other metropolitan line, are quoted
at the highest price in the list of the
Stock Exchange. The lines in the above
table which render the best service for the smallest
charge are far more remunerative to their proprie-
tors than those which are endeavouring to per-
suade Parliament to permit them to mulct the
public. This policy is both foolish and blame-
worthy. It is foolish because unnecessary ;it is
blameworthy because it amounts to making the

public replenish coffers which bad management has
emptied. The moral of the whole is that railway
directors diminish working expenses to the mini-
mum, and offer the public efficient service

at reasonable rates, and they will assuredly
be able to present their shareholders with
handsome dividends. Let them, on the
other hand, supply indifferent accommodation
at a high rate, and they will always be in pecuniary
difficulties. We think it alike inexpedient and

unjust that Parliament should interpose and re-
move at the expense of railway travellers the dif-
ficulties which have their origin in the mismanage-
ment of railway directors. To the South Eastern,
London and Brighton, and Chatham and Dover

Companies it should be said that monopolies are
not to be countenanced in these days of commercial

freedom, and that, if they would earn good divi-
dends, let them cease from litigation, run fast

trains, and charge low fares.

mate these companies by act of parliament, but
also to obtain a parliamentary sanction to an in a diligence between, say Bard and La

present fares are miremunerative. The fact is Collis. Yet now that it is past and
[ indisputable that the unfortunate shareholders in gone let us avow that this mode of travelling,
, Ithem either receive no dividends, or dividends of in spite of its slowness, its obvious discomfort
a paltry character. It is probable, however, that and its awkward chances, had charms of its own
; I this is attributable, in a great measure, to the (in fair weather), and was organised to such a
largeness of the fares. At any rate, other lines degree of safety and certainty that no traveller
have proved remunerative speculations on which after a single experience could flatter himself that
the fares are much lower than those which are lie had encountered any risks or suffered any
now in financial difficulties. Let ua compare the hardships to speak of. In truth it is
• rates charged by leading companies on the South not for having saved them much risk or
and the North of London. The following table, hardship that Mr. Feu. deserves the cordial
when analysed, may prove fraught with instruc- congratulations and thanks of the travelling public
tion : so much as for having saved them the tedium

and delay of a nine or ten hours' imprisonment in
a stuffy wagon full of cramped and weary fellow-
creatures, and the dull alternative of a slow
freezing or a slow stewing of unwashed hunia-
iiity. Mr. FELL, like all other initiators, has
had to contend with other and less endurable dis-
couragements than those of the earth and air—other
difficulties than mechanical and material. He
has had to struggle against a prolonged crisis in
the money markets and a consequent paralysis of
credit and confidence even in the most substantial
and trustworthy schemes. Impatience and timidity
have combined to thwart and obstruct the progress
of his great campaign, and there have not been
wanting kindly prophets to predict that the
tunnel through the Alps would be completed before
the railroad over the Alps had begun to work.

Whether the tunnel under Mont Cenia will
be in working order five yearn hence remains

to be seen ; it depends in part on
the formatimus through which the tunnel must
make its way. In any case Mr. FELL has
plenty of time, and to spare, before him

to reap the abundant harvest he has earned.
And even when the tunnel is completed there will be
many passengers, we dare say, who will pre-
fer the open to the subterranean road. It is
possible that the underground train will perform
the distance horn St. Michel to Susa in a shorter
time than Mr. FELL's ; though, all things
considered, that result is somewhat problematical.
Many passengers, we fancy, will consider a
four or five hours' journey fast enough when
to the novel sensation of passing over mountain
peaks by steam is added the enjoyment of contem-
plating securely and comfortably those precipices
and abysses which Mr. FELL has overcome.

YESTERDAY the Royal Geographical Society held
its anniversary meeting, which, according to ortho-
dox precedent, was supplemented by a dinner.
It is stated in the report of the council that a
building for the use of the Society will be built
facing the Thames Embankment, the site having
been promised by the Chief Commissioner of
Crown Lands. Everyone who has been
jammed and jostled, stifled and leg-wearied
in the hall at Burlington-house will be
glad to know that the time will come, and
that shortly, when it will be possible to attend a
meeting of the Society without any severe tax upon
one's patience and good temper. It is satisfactory
also to learn that the finances of the Society are in
a highly flourishing condition, and that the Council
have resolved to encourage the study of geography
by offering prizes for competition in the various
public schools. There is hope then for the coming
generation ; and the time may arrive, in some far
off period, when a knowledge of the earth's sur-
face and of political geography will be even more
esteemed than the construction of Latin verses.

ST. GEORGE'S Vestry, the Metropolitan Board,
and Lord JOHN MANNERS appear to have made
their differences up. Yesterday morning, at
7 o'clock, a long string of sand and gravel-
laden carts appeared in Park-lane. The
cruilly rough Macadam having been bestrewn
with the contenta, the much desiderated steam-
roller appeand a few hours later, and pro-
ceeded to Found the roadway into a smooth
and level mass. The effect was magical.
By afternoon the coarse boulders and rough
shingle bad been welded into a capital
road ; and a thoroughfare which was death
or at least lameness to horses in the early morning
was an excellent road at dinner time. Months of
locomotion from cabs and carriages would not have
done what the giant mo.shing machine's pondrous
rotation effected immeattely. It is still in the
Lane, and is continuing the work it so auspiciously
commenced. From Piccadilly to far beyond
South-street was rendered not merely passable
but convenient. This morning more sand
was thrown ; and the process of amalgamation
and pounding proceeded with. This is satis-
factory as far as it goes, but what has been done
so easily should have been done long before.

The Svuthampten Times states that Sir George
Grey will preside at the ceremonies to be observed at the
inauguration of the statue of Lord Palmerston at Romney,
in Hants.

Two new monster mail packets have arrived at
Southampton—the Travancore, belonging to the Peninsular
and Oriental Company ; and the Neva, belonging to the
Royal Mail Company.

A remarkable kind of publication has just been
started at Orleans, entitled " Le Ohartrier Fraticaim"
Its object is to publish the pretensions to nobility which
their correspondents may forward to them, on tbe re-
ceipt of what the editors may cansidew satlisient proofs.
