THE ARGUMENT.

PART I.—Shows how Mr. Brunel, in 1838, persuaded the Directors
of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, assuring
them that this railway would have " no connexion with any other
of the main lines ;" and how, in 1845, he attempted to force a con-
nexion between it and the main lines, at Wolverhampton, Rugby,
Dorchester, &c.—How Mr. Brunei stated that carriages and trucks
would not pass from one railway to another, being different pro-
perties, whereas more than half a million are passing annually at the
present time.—llow Mr. Brunel, in 1838, adopted the Broad Gauge,
for the express reason that the railway would be nearly level, and
have very slight curves ; and how, in after years, he applied the
Broad Gauge to Railways having the steepest gradients and the
sharpest curves.—How Mr. Brunel said, in 1839, that " he never re-
commended the Broad Gauge for the purpose of having larger en-
gines ;" and how, in 1845, it was his boast that he was building en
gines wider and larger. How Mr. Brunel selected the Broad
Gangs because he could place the bodies of the carriages within the
wheels, and how he has always brought them outside the wheels.—
How Mr. Brunel advocates the atmospheric system, which in all
essential points is the exact converse of the Broad Gauge System.
PART IL—Shows what Mr. Saunders thought of competition In
1844, when he was a disinterested party, and what he said about
Competition when he was an interested party.

Several members of the Stock Exchange b eve ex-
pressed a wish that the Railway Committees would make a t point of
keeping their decisions unknown to the public until after fli se o'clock
in the afternoon. This, being after the hours of business, vs vuld give
every dealer an opportunity of possessing the same infon nation as
his neighbour, whereas at present parties have been known . to watch
for exclusive information, • and when it is obtained, to com e with all
possible rapidity from the West-end to the City, hoping to. take ad-
vantage of the less enlightened. As it cannot be the intent', 511 of the
Legislature that the best bargain should be owing to the flu test cab,
this hint is worth attention.—Times.
