RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

The question relating to the introduction of Mr. Card-
well's committee of new clauses in the London, Brighton,
and South Coast, the North London, and other railway
bills now before Parliament, as a first step to improve
railway legislation, is appointed for discussion to-night
in the House of Commons. It appears that great efforts
have been made by the directors of several railway com-
panies to obtain the rejection of those clauses, prepara-
tory to the intended overthrow of the general measure
to be brought before the house on the Ist of May, for
facilitating the transmission of traffic from one railway
to another, and compelling railway companies to forward
the traffic over the various lines of railway in a manner
most conducive to the public interests, and at the same
time it is believed for the mutual advantage of the share-
holders in the respective companies. Some of the railway
directors and officials strongly object to the pro-
posed interference, and also to the power in
the bill sought to be conferred on the Board of
Trade of regulating the traffic arrangements, and
settling differences that might arise between railway
companies, deciding on the amount of tolls in certain
cases to be charged and paid, and on the hours for the
starting and arrival of railway trains at certain points
of junction with lines of hostile companies. Bad as
" the vicious system of railway legislation " has been
heretofore, and which has been so bitterly comp!ained
of at railway meetings, it seems it is not to be given up
without a struggle. With regard to the objection raised
against the adjudication by the Board of Trade, it is
rather remarkable that in almost every case of dispute
between railway companies for some years past the rail-
way companies have invariably addressed the Board of
Trade on the subject for redress in some shape or other,
with a view to induce that Board to interfere in the mat-
ter, and finally to undertake a settlement of the difference.
In many railway bills the companies have provided that
in case of dispute the matter should be referred to the
Board of Trade, or to some arbitrator to be appointed by
the Board of Trade. The proposed general measure will
require some useful modifications to secure the interests
of shareholders, and to meet objections that may be
raised, and to carry out the objects of it successfully
and satisfactorily. There can be no doubt, however,
that any simple and effective measure that may have the
effect of doing away with the necessity of, or pretext
for, all sorts of amalgamations, improvident leases, and
unwarrantable guarantees, which have already depre-
ciated railway property to the extent of several millions
of capital, will meet with the most strenuous opposition
of directors, lawyers, Parliamentary agents, and other
interested parties, as it would at once cut off a very
fruitful source of profit, and condemn the policy pursued
for years past by a number of large railway companies.
