PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.
WORCESTER AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.--Yesterday,
,afteiea,prestracted inquiry, cud opposition on the part of
the Great Western Railway and other interests, the
Committee, consisting of Mr. Childers, Colonel Peel, and
others, passed the preamble of this Bill, promoted by the
London and North-Western Railway, for making a line
from Weircester to Hereford, with branches to the city of
Worcester, to Malvern; and to Ledbury. The Bill also
takes powers to enter into working arrangements with
the Midland and. London and North-Western Com•
psnies, to whom it will give access to andtcommunication
with the districts a South Wales. The estimated cost
of the line is 220,000/. Evidence was adduced on the
part of the Commissioners of the Severn Navigation
to show that the proposed fixed bridge below Worcester,
carrying - the railway acrora the Severn, would
annihilate the navigation at the time of high tides, and that
it would be necessary to have a swing or draw bridge,
The promoters of the railway proposed a fixed bridge
of a specific height and span, and that vessels at the time
of high tides should lay up at Worcester. Ultimately,
clauses were introduced, leaving the matter to the juris-
diction of the Admiralty. The Parliamentary and
other expenses ofsprosectiting the Bill for this line are
said to amoune-to between 40,0001, and 50,0001.
LONDJN AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The
Committee, in reporting the preamble of this company's
two Bills, state that the object of the first is to effect ar-
rangements with regard to capital, and for enlargement
of the stations at Wolverton and Kilburn; and of the
second, for new lines near Oxford, to connect with the
Buckinghatnehire,railways, and the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton, and to effect arrangements between
the latter company and the London and North-
Western. The Committee report that the financial
object of the Company is to enable them to convert,
by, degrees, their existing debt into irredeemable
stock, bearing annual interest not exceeding three
and a halfyperecent,, such new or debenture stock to have
priority of interest or dividend over all existing prefe-
rence shares or stock of the company; but inasmuch as
the debenture stock will . only be created instead of
mortgages or debetures bearing on an average a far
higher rate ofinterest, which interest has now a priority
over all preference shares or stock of the company, the
Committee did not deem the creation of the debenture
stock to be a "granting of preference or priority"
within the moaning of the 128th standing order, or an
of the 129th standing

FREE-TRADE PROTECT lONISTS.
The only remedy proposed by the pesent Adminis-
tration lies simply in maintaieing the existing commer-
cial policy of.the country. Oar friends of the Protection
press, if they would be true to their own colours, must
prepare to furbish up same of their best samples of in
pvective against the Derby "traitor" and the`'renegade"
of Buckiughamshire. In what respect does the reluc-
tant adhesion of the present First Minister to the doc-
trines of Free Trade differ from their recognition by
that great statesman who, to his country's loss, was
snatched away from us, except in so far that he has
been more slow to discern the policy which this country
could not but pursue if it would maintain its rank in
the scale of nations? What kind of pledge did the
late Sir Robert Peel give to the great Conservative
party in 1842 which can for a moment be compared
with the pledges given by Lord Derby as chief spokes-
man and recognized. leader of the Protection party since
1846 ? If Sir Robert Peel was a traitor, what is Lord
Derby ? Lot it:not-however, be for a moment supposed
that we wish the Quintilians and Ciceros of monopoly
to turn their 'pens against the leaders of the present
Administration. For the sake of decency Ist them
at last leave off calling of hard names, and recognize
results which any but a blind man can perceive. If there
be any " treason," or any such heavy matter in Lord
Derby's piesent position, it is that he had not the man-
liness to act as Sir Robert Peel did at a far more mo-
mentous time. No man can make a great speech in
more efficient style than the present Premier when he
fairly sets, about it. Why does he shrink from the odium
of acknowledging his mistake' and admitting in the face
of the country and of his ownfollowers that he was mis-
taken? " Ohl but the elections are coming on ; we must not
alienete• the votes of our own partisans. We must not
completely destroy the shaken faith of the agricultural
constituencies!" It would appear to any unprejudiced
observer as though poor Sir Robert had risked far more
than this,,and had exposed himself to a storm of vitu-
peration which would not reach Lord Derby's head. It
is, however, of the Protection writers and the Protection
press that we are speaking at the present moment. Why
do not they, even at the twelfth hour, make a tardy at-
tempt to escape from the mud through which they have
been too long dragged ,by every blockhead who on any
hustings or at any Protectionist meeting throughout the
country has stood up to add his little quantum of non-
sense to the 'literature of Protection?
It had been our intention to speak of the last shifts and
change's of the Protection writers, but a feeling of com-
punction overcomes us even at the last moment. Why
ttianiph over men to whose position so much ridicule is
attached_?__ Rather let us entreat the public to look the
Other-way, than imitate the example which themselves
had set. We will not too curiously remark upon their
cunning arguments for proving that there is a substan-
tial difference between the fiscal policy of the late and
the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Disraeli
may ha,ya eulogised the success of the Free-trade policy
and maintained it in his present budget. That is nothing.
