thi ea that it IN a Irir(s4c !mod under the authority
of he Custom Houle to search for gunpowder, whereas
what is called rocket composition is not gunpowder, and
the Custom House had nothing to do with it. I think
it right to state this to the house, for the purpose of
allaying the alarm and apprehension which the speech
of the noble lord is calculated to excite. (Cheers.) The
statement I have made is from Mr. Hale's son, and I
believe it to be perfectly coned. (Cheers.)
Mr. BRIGHT—I thought the hon. member for Fins-
bury asked the noble lord a question ? (Hear, hear, and
cheers.)
Mr. DUNCOMBR—Yes, I ask the noble lord if he
does not know this to be so ?
Mr. BRIGHT.—WeII, I will ask him a question too.
(Laughter.) It is known to every person, whatever
opinion he may have of M. Kossuth's conduct in Hun-
gary, America, or elsewhere, that the character of such
a man must be dear to himself, and that the press ought
not, without occasion, to defame him. (Hear, hear,
and ironical cheering.) I wish to ask the noble lord,
therefore, whether the matter be as the noble lord has
described it, or as the hon. member for Finsbury has
described it ? whether M. Kossuth is, by any evidence
before the noble lord, in any degree compromised in this
matter, more than any member of the Orleans party now
in this country t (Cheers.) I have a right to ask this
question. I have been on a platform with that dis-
tinguished individual—(laughter and cheers)—and al-
though nothing would induce me to say that liberty is
more likely to be promoted by having recourse to arms
than by another course of proceeding which much more
recommends itself to my judgment and principles, yet I
should be extremely sorry, here or elsewhere, without
proof, to make it necessary to disavow my connection
with or my admiration of much that I know of that dis-
tinguished person. (Loud cheers.) I feel, therefore, As
many other persons must feel, that I have some interest
in knowing whether those statements which appear in a
most powerful organ of the press, which is often sup-
_

for public traffic, or by persons not already incorporated,
whereby the construction of any new line of railway is au-
thorised, a clause to the following effect, viz. :—And
whereas, pursuant to the standing orders of both houses of
Parliament, and to an act of the ninth year of her present
Majesty, c. 20, a sum of 1., being one-tenth part of
three-fourths of the amount of the estimate of the railway
authorised by this act, has been deposited with the Court
of Chancery in England (or Ireland, or with the Court of
Exchequer in Scotland, as the case may be), [or Exchequer
bills, stocks, or funds to the amount of 1., have been
deposited or transferred pursuant to the said act, as the
case may be], in respect of the application to Parliament
for this act; be it enacted, that notwithstanding contained
in the said recited act the said sum of 1. [or the said.
Exchequer-bills or other funds, as the case may be] so de-
posited or transferred as aforesaid, in respect of the appli-
cation for this act, or the interest or dividends of such sum
of money [Exchequer-bills, stocks, or funds], shall not, ex-
cept upon the execution and deposit of such bond as here-
inafter mentioned, be paid or transferred to or on the
application of the person or persons, or the majority of th•
persons, named in such warrant or order, or the survivors
or survivor of them, unless the said company shall, previ-
ously to the expiration of the period limited by this act for
completion of the railwayherebyauthorised to be m ade, either
open the said railway for the public conveyance of passengers,
or prove to the satisfaction of the lords of the committee
of her Majesty's Privy Council for Trade and Foreign Plan-
tations that the said company have paid up one-half of the
t of the ;tal by th.: ,ct r ,th 3ed to be raised lr

passing them. We had arrived at a great crisis in
the matter of railways, and, inasmuch, as there
was every prospect of all the lines falling into
one management, if nothing of this sort was done, it
was for the benefit of the public that these resolutions,
which would have the effect of suspending amalgamation
bills, should be passed.
Mr. WADDINGTON believed that, in reference to
the railway interest, these resolutions were of a highly
conservative character, and he had no doubt that their
adoption would alikebenefit the public and the share-
holders. They would have the effect of preventing the
proposal of speculative schemes ; and although at the
first blush the resolution might appear to be exceedingly
objectionable, he yet thought that on reflection they
would be found to be the best adopted for promoting the
prosperity of the public, as well as the railway interest.
Mr. LAING must say that the committee in this
case had arrived at a sound and sensible conclusion in
recommending the postponement of these amalgamation
bills. The railway interest at stake was too vast to be
hurriedly disposed of, and since of late years the legisla-
tion of the house in reference to railways had been ex-
tremely short-sighted, he thought the house could not
do better now than adopt these resolutions.
Mr. CARDWELL could only say, that the commit-
tee had not as yet sufficiently investigated the gunge
