SECOND EDITION.

tion of which was fully justified by the vast import-
ance of the subject, and the necessity that existed
for the views of the Committee, which have been em-
bodied therein, although it has not yet received their
formal sanction, being promulgated previously to the
recess, in order that public opinion might be fully ex-
pressed on the recommendations, and that the same
might be maturely weighed and considered at a period
of comparative leisure, before they should be made
the framework of future legislation.
The report fully points out the manner in which
the intention of the Legislature has been evaded, by
a course of proceeding on the part of the directors of
different companies, which, to say the least of it,
is by no means creditable to the parties con-
cerned, and is not in accordance with that
high feeling of honour, that straightforward course,
by which persons entrusted with the management
of matters so important to the commercial interests
should be actuated, and governed in their proceed-
ings. It was enacted that whenever the dividend on
lines which came within the operation of the Act
should equal or exceed ten per cent. on the capital
stock, the Lords of the Treasury, on giving three
months' notice, might revise the tolls, fares, and
charges. The bond fide object of this law was, that
when a certain large remuneration for the actual ex-
penditure was returned to the proprietors in the
shape of dividends, the public should get the benefit
of the surplus in the shape of a cheaper means of
transit. This object was practically defeated by the
system of declaring dividends on an amount of capital
far exceeding the actual outlay, and by the creation
of new shares for additional works at par, when those
very shares were at a large premium in the market.
Specific instances of this abuse are detailed in the
report, which fully warrant the recommendation of
the Committee, " that an end should at once be put
to the system of issuing more new shares than are
required to cover necessary outlays, in order
to divide premiums among proprietors, and thereby
swell the amount of nominal stock beyond the actual
outlay." This suggestion, we think, will be assented
to by all disinterested persons ; its object, however,
will be attained in a great degree by requiring that
the assent of the newly-constituted Board shall
be obtained before any augmentation of capital, by
the issue of new shares, can be permitted.
The vast importance of railways to the districts
through which they run are fully set forth, and it is
clearly proved that they are no less valuable to an
agricultural than to a manufacturing population.
The extraordinary-revolution in the value of land by
the operation of railways must be very cheering to
the ruined agriculturists. We find that land along
the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway, which,
previous to its construction, was not worth
ss. per acre, now commands a market price
of from 30s. to 40s. per acre for the same land ; and
this great increase is not surprising when we find
the superior cheapness and facility of transport both
for the farm produce and the means of improving the
fertility of the land, which is well illustrated by the
fact, that what by the old mode would involve an
expenditure of 1421. 6s. 3d., for the charge of car-
riage, would now only amount to 40/. Bs. 9d. This
is quite sufficient, as an example of the vast benefits
conferred on agriculture by railway communication,
which would bring large tracts of land now lying
barren and unproductive into cultivation. To deve-
lop, however, these wonderful means of improvement,
to the utmost extent, the fares should be reduced to
the lowest possible rate, a reduction which would be
of mutual advantage to the railway proprietors and the
public generally, from the great increase of traffic ;
a larger profit would be obtained by the former while
the latter would have the advantage of the additional
activity excited, and the obtaining of the greatest fa-
cility of communication and intercourse between the
different localities. It is proved that the cost of con-
veyance diminishes with every increase of quantity,
and it is calculated that a charge which, with a traffic
of 20,000 tons, would only be remunerative at 10/d,
per mile, would, with a traffic of 100,000 tons, be re-
munerative at one halfpenny per mile ; and, vast as
the disparity may appear between the two quantities
assumed, it is by no means improbable that such a re-
duction of fares would produce the increase.
The directors of railways are not always possessed
of a full knowledge of that which is most for their
own interest; they too often are influenced by nar-
row-minded and short-sighted views, that induce
them, while wishing to make the largest pecuniary
profit from the management of the gigantic monopoly
placed in their hands, to take steps by no means cal-
culated for the attainment of that object. What
would be a valuable and remunerative branch of their
traffic is too frequently totally destroyed or lessened
to the greatest degree by the magnitude of the price
charged, which amounts almost to a prohibition. The
experience of the past fully testifies that every reduc-
tion of the fares has been attended with an increase
of revenue. The difference between the prices origi-
nally charged on the London and Birmingham and
the present price is exactly one-third, and the statis-
tics of the corresponding improvement are highly in-
teresting. The reductions on the fare of the first-
class, adopted on the Ist June, 1844, was 17i per
cent., and the corresponding increase of passen-
gers was 19i per cent. On the second-class
the reduction was 26i- per cent., and the increase
consequent thereon was 61 1-5 per cent.; while on
the third-class the reduction of 33 1-3 per cent. was
met by an increase cf no less than 259 per cent. We
have thus the strongest illustration that the traffic
increases in a ratio more than exceeding the reduc•
tion of fares, so as to afford an increase of profit.
This is certainly too important a matter to all parties
concerned to be left to the arbitrary will of the com-
panies or their directors, and justifies the recommen•
dation, " that in return for their monopoly, compa-
nies ought to submit to an efficient system of control,
with a view to the security of the public against ex-
travagant fares and charges, and the adoption of
uniformity on the different lines in the scales and the
mode of charging." We shall return to the other
recommendations of the Committee, and examine the
data on which they are founded, expressing our
assent or dissent therefrom, with the several reasons
by which we are influenced. Our space to-day
forbids further notice.

So immensely has the population of Cologne in-
creased of late years—more especially since it has
become one of the great centres of railway commu-
nication—that it has become necessary to build a
new faubourg, and several capitalists have formed a
company for that purpose. The faubourg, which is
designed for the accommodation of the working
classes, will consist of several large houses, divided
into small apartments.

Madrid Papers to the 25th ult. have arrived.
The Ministry had seized the Espanol on the 24th
for asserting that a dispensation had arrived from
Rome authorising the marriage of the Qt.LEEN and
Don FRANCISCO VASS'S ; and the Espanol of the
25th was likewise seized for complaining of the
seizure of the preceding day. The Heni/do has de-
clared in favour of the double marriage of Don Flux-
cisco with theRuEEN, and f.',f bon Eziftultiz with her
sister.

The arrival- of the Duke of Gram/Mt/Rea at
Madrid had given rise to a report that Xing Louis
PP.uaprE has demanded the hand of the Infanta
LUISA for the Due DE MONTPENSIER.

The troops enlisted by General FLORES, for the

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
On Saturday, after the election of M. SAUZET, as
President, the Chamber of Deputies proceeded to the
election of the four Vice-Presidents. This also was
a Ministerial triumph, the following being the result
of the ballot :

M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT .... 20

M. DUFAURE

The three first gentlemen, having an absolute ma-
jority, were declared elected. M. DELESSERT, the
next highest on the list, is also a Ministerialist, but
not having obtained an absolute majority, he was not
declared elected, and a fresh ballot will take place on
Monday.
The result of this ballot shows the overwhelming
nature of the Ministerial majority. The 116 votes
given to M. BILLAULT constituted the whole force of
the Opposition present, while the Ministerialists di-
♦ide their votes between M. DELESSERT and MM.
DEBELLETME and DUPRET.

The Courrier Francais thus comforts its party
under their defeat :--

" The Conservative party has had an immense majo-
rity ; the Opposition expected it, and for our parts we
are glad of it. What is it we wish for ? An opposition
that will courageously defend our liberties, energetically
plead the cause of progress, every day demand useful
and necessary reforms, and whose triumph will be so
much the more speedy as the abuses of monopoly, of
privileges, and of reaction become more audacious and
more evident. The moment has arrived for such an
opposition to form itself. There is no longer a Minis-
terial campaign to make, and we think that this reason
will bring back certain men to a path which they ought
never to have quitted. The Parliamentary Left is beaten
—completely beaten. And why ? Because it has re-
nounced its programme ; because it has made itself the
slave of a man, when it was its duty to have been the
apostle of progress and of liberty. The lesson is severe
for M. Odilon Barrot and his friends. There are persons
who would profit by such a lesson, and who would
blush to combat any longer under the orders of an am-
bitious intriguant, in a word, to serve as a footstool for
M. Thiers. Because the Conservatives have the glory
of being presided over by M. Sauzet; because MM.
Bignon, Lepeletier, D'Aulnay, and Hebert have been
named Vice-Presidents, the cause of progress and of
liberty is not lost. We bare seen Governments which
have possessed formidable majorities, and whose con-
duct was condemned by a tribunal superior to Parlia-
mentary majorities—by public opinion. The victories
which have been gained by the practice of skilful
manoeuvres at the late elections will not be long in being
followed by striking defeat. Conquered today, we shall
be conquerors to•morrow,—for principles never die.
They may be misunderstood for an instant, but they will
triumph one day or another. It is that day of triumph
which we desire to hasten, and it is towards that object
that all friends of order and of our institutions will go
with us. If then you make a bad use of your majority,
we shall endeavour to point out the danger which
thratens you; but after all, you are masters; it is your
afFair, and you are at liberty to disregard our warnings.
You refuse us, for instance, a Parliamentary inquiry.
The Centres are so docile, that such a refusal does not
surprise us. Does it prove that the Chamber gains by
such refusal in dignity and in consideration? Ask the
country."

A commissary of police was sent, on Friday, to
search llErmes lodgings in the Rue de Limoges, in
consequence of the prisoner's statement that proof
would be there found that it was never his intention
to kill or injure the KING. On being conducted into
the cellar, the commissary dug up the floor in a spot
which had been indicatel by HENRI, and at the
depth of eighteen inches he found a copper tube,
plugged at each end with wood. The tube was
sealed and conveyed to the Chancellor. HENRI de•
dares it contains papers which will demonstrate the
truth of his statements.
Considerable alarm continues to be felt in France
at the rise in the price of corn, consequent upon
an apt rehended scarcity. Riots have taken
place at Dijon on account of the removal of corn
from the neighbourhood, and troops have been sent
therefrom Macon to preserve order. Incendiary fires
continue in the district. Troops have also been or-
dered to Avallon.

The Moniteur publishes the returns of the imports
into France during the month of July last, from
which it appears that the Customs duties levied
thereon produced 12,957,914 f. Their amount in
July, 1844, had been 14,980,828 f., and in 1845
12,837,639 f. This decrease does not appear chargeable
to any other cause than the excessive illiberality of the
existing tariff, proved by the tables published by
the Moniteur. In the articles of foreign threads
and foreign linens, this fact is glaringly demonstrated.
The quantity of foreign thread imported into France
in 1844 amounted to 6,255 metrical quintals. In
1845, under the influence of the new and rigorous
advance of the protective duty, 4,146, and in 1846
only 2,814. Of foreign linens, the quantity imported
in 1844 amounted to 3,002 metrical quintals. In
1845 to 2,201, and in 1846 to only 1,796
A letter from Cannes, of the 22d August, pub-
lished in the Toulonnais says :

" Lord Brougham and Mr. Leader have just afforded
us a spectacle quite unusual in this country. It may be
remembered that three years back these gentlemen
purchased the fine forest of La Croix de Gardy. The
whole of it has since been surrounded with a high wall in the
English style, and yesterday fourteen stags, as many does,
and a number of young fawns arrived here from Sar-
dinia, and are to be immediately let loose in the forest.
They were under the care of six keepers, in handsome
liveries of maroon-coloured velvet, with gilt buttons,
bearing his Lordship's crest. A pack of hounds arrived
here from England three months back, and everything
necessary for a hunting establishment is to be sent
from Paris. It is said that a number of sporting men
from England are to arrive here this year. Indeed this
place is becoming quite an English colony. On every
side are springing up handsome habitations, built with
English money, combining British comfort and Italian
elegance with French taste."

SUN EXPRESSES.— TEIGNMOUTIL—ihe inhabitants
of this quiet little seaport were much surprised and gratified
by the arrival of The Sun newspaper on Friday night, by the
express train of the South Devon Railway, containing the
Queen's Speech, delivered in Parliament that same afternoon.
The distance, upwards of 200 miles, being accomplished in
five hours, including stoppages. This is the first instance of
any newspaper express having arrived at Teignmouth.—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
10,000 bales, including 500 for export and 500 on spe-
culation. The market closed very firmly, and was in
some respects rather dearer. Shares were quiet again.
Following out, at last, the principles of free trade
adopted by the Government and the Legislature of Eng-
land, we find several of the more influential portions of
the American press advocating the same cause. Take
the following extract as a sample from the New York
Herald:—
" The demand for protection to our manufacturers
comes from the Whig party; it is yet and has ever been
a part of their political creed, at the same time they are
making efforts to inflate the currency. There is a
strange inconsistency in these movements, which can
never be reconciled. The effect of the first is to shut
out from our markets foreign fabrics, which would come
into competition With our own, while the effect of the
last is to open a wider door for their admission than
the first shuts against them. In this way, one offsets
the other, and they never make any progress in the
accomplishment of the object in view. On the other
hand, we find the opposite party equally incon-
sistent in int political creed. According to the
democratic doctrine, a low tariff will provide a greater
revenue than a high one, and a reduction is therefore
demanded for the purpose of Increasing the importations
and increasing the revenue from customs, at the same
time the party requires a currency, established upon a
pure specie basis, nee le an inconsistency as glaring
as that tthibited by the other party, and as difficult of
reconciliation. The party advocating a low tariff should
advocate an inflated paper currency, if a large revenue
is the object, or even for the collection of sufficient
revenue to meet the current ekpenditures of the Govern-
ment ; and the party in favour of protection should, in
the first place, as being of the first importance, advocate
a specie currency, and then get a tariff as high as pos-
sible : the high tariff, however) is a matter of secondary
consideration. A specie currency and a high tariff would
give us a very limited revenue."

was forcibly carried e(f tr)y her Britannie Majesty's
steamer Lizard) ll'ora the mouth, of the hicio, tlihere
she had entered in the absence of blot suing force,
was on her arrival at Monte Video released by
Admiral Inglefield, and returned to the Salado 4 But a
few days after she was again seized by a Vrench force,
and reconducted to Monte Video, when it appears a
discussion arose between the two Admirals with regard
to this unjustifiable proceeding. The result is not known.
The conduct of Captain Inglefield in this instance is per-
fectly consistent with the acknowledged rules of
blockade, and is a virtual disavowal of the heinous out-
rages perpetrated by Captain Reed at Ensevada."
The Funds have been scarcely so high as they were
yesterday. Consols for the Account have been quoted
at 96 I, and for Money at 96i. Exchequer-bills have
been firm at 21s. premium. Bank Stock has receded to
2084, and India Bonds are at 265. premium.
In the Foreign Fonda there ha been an increase of

business today. Mexican Five per Cents. have fallen
from 271 to 261 and the Portuguese Four per Cents.,
which were yesterday called at 46, opened this morning
at 4,11, and are now at 45i for the Account. For Spanish
Three per Cents. the current value is at 37i e ; for the
Five per Cents., 16--4- ; and for Dutch Two-and-a• Half
per Cents., 591
In the Railway Share Market there is a feeling in
favour of an improvement in prices.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—There has been very little business done in Bri-
tish Plantation, the attention of the trade being entirely oc-
cupied with the large public sales. Only about 250 hhds
have been sold at rather lower prices, establishing a decline
of 6d to is per cwt. The public sales have consisted prin-
cipally of 4,563 bags, 296 casks .Mauritius, 4,540 bags
Bengal, 1,165 bags of Madras, 5,301 bags (clayed)
Manilla, and 1,405 hhds 164 barrels Porto Rico, nearly all
of which found buyers (excepting the Porto Rico), but
went off very heavily, and at a decline of fully is to 2s upon
the mid and low brown descriptions, of which the greater
part consisted, while the better sorts brought fully the pre-
vious value. Only about one-half the Porto Rico found
buyers, at 46s to ,50s for low to good yellow, and 44s to
45s 6d mid greyish clayed yellow Manilla, being
for the Porto Rico fully previous rates, but the
Manilla comparatively cheap. The quantity of British
Plantation landed last week at the East and West India
Docks was 1,757 hhds, 216 tierces, 196 barrels; there were
taken for home consumption 1,220 hhds, 116 tierces, 251
barrels. The stock in the same places is 10,452 hhds, 1,061
tierces, 7,840 barrels.
COFFEE.-140 casks 120 barrels Jamaica, and 1,201 bags
Ceylon at auction only partly sold, at rather lower prices.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 813 puns 74 hhds. There were
taken for home consumption 148 puns 39 hhds, and ex-
portt d 162 puns 192 hhds. The stock in the same places is
9,324 puns 2,136 hhds.

road; his wile, and four friends, had been taking tea together,
when one of the party complained of sickness at the stomach.
Almost at the same moment two of the others likewise felt
unwell, and a foutth was seized with vomiting. It suddenly
occurred to one of them to look into the teapot, when, to hr
silr,trigfe?; she discovered a packet of a substance labelled
" Butler "s fly and Insect Killer—Poison." They all became
alarmed, especially When Mrs. Chappell remembered on the
instant that she had plated the said packet some weeks pre-
viously, in the teapot, out of the way of her grandchild, and
had forgotten to take it out when she made the, tea, not
having even rinsed ont the teapot. A person lodging in the
heft-Bei hearing some confusion, came into the room, and find-
frig that poison of some sort had been taken by every one of
them, and that they were all more or less affected by it, im-
mediately ran off for a medical man. Mr. Bartley, surgeon,
of Stoke's-croft, was fortunately at home, and on arriving
at the house administered to each a powerful emetic and
afterwards antidotes, and continued with them until nearly
ten o'clock. The remedies used were successful, and with
the exception of Mrs. Chappell, who is still suffering from
the effects of the poison, as well as from much mental anxiety,
as being the innocent cause of the accident, the other parties
are convalescent. Mr. Bartley, it appears, tested the contents
of the paper,land found that it contained arsenic.—Bristol
Journal.
THE MOORS.—The accounts from the hill continue
to be as favourable, as to the success of the sportsmen, as am
first. Last week, the weather was dry and wet each alter-
nate day till Thursday; but, subs,equently, it has been fair
and more seasonably cool. The irtaq,rs attached to Blair
Castle were strictly reserved last year an4t4is, it is under-
' stood, for his Royal iighuops Paco Alle47.7rertil courier.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)

IN RE NAYZIEW.
This bankrupt, who is well known in the literary
world, came up to pass his last examination, and Nv.,5
supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and oppu,ged by Air:
Cooke. From the evidence given by the banlzruptth
it appeared that he had been connected will is
the Era newspaper, but had assigned Ili,
interest, and had not made any entry in d
balance-sheet, as it was of no value. He bad disele, e t
everything to his creditors—his property, which had col,
about 1,6001, had been seized in execution and sold at 0
loss of 1,185/. He considered himself justified in big
expenses, as up to the beginning of the year he ought to
have received 1,5001. a-year for his literary la-
bours, He originated Punch, and was bee"
cecded by an editor, Mr. Mark Lemon, under
an arrangement to receive one half, but Mr. Lemon had
refused to ratify the agreement. Out of 2,9001. he had
only received 1,215/., and owed 2,411/. Hisi embarrass'
ment arose in consequence of losing two arrange'
ments, amounting to 1,000/. and 300/. a-year.
But he bad offered to pay 51. a-week out
of his profits, and make it up the
full half of his earnings if he made more, but the Fropor
sition was rejected.
The CommissioNErt considered an adjournment Ott
take place, for the balance-sheet to be amended, and,..
the costs should depend on the opinion of the ofleu"'
assignee.
The examination was then adjourned for six weeks'
The bankrupt estimated the profits of Punch at 10,0001;
a year ; he also claimed 1,000/. from the Iron Times
estate for one year's salary he was entitled to iu lieu of •
notice.
