by which alone the utility of the subscription con-
tracts may be preserved, are impracticable.
And the fact is, that these inquiries are imprac-
ticable. As Lord SHAFTESBURY says, the session, or
even the year, would not be long enough for a com-
plete inquiry into even one subscription contract for a
large sum total. If you are to go into inquiries as
to the pecuniary means of individuals, common jus-
tice requires that such inquiries should be made in a
scrupulous, painstaking manner, which involves time
And then how is pecuniary competency to be fixed ?
Will any two men agree as to the standard of
pecuniary competency in such cases ? Is a man to
be required to be able to pay down any day, in a
slump sum, the whole amount for which he has
signed the deed ? Most persons will say that this
would be most unjust, as he would only be called upon
by the company to pay the sum in several instalments,
extending over several years, and perhaps never at
all be called on to pay the whole sum. What portion
then of the sum is he to be required to possess, in
order to establish his competency ? Again, is he not
to be allowed the benefit of his credit, as well as of
his property, in this inquiry ? Is he to be debarred
from reckoning on savings of income, gains in busi-
ness, gains by railway speculations, for the payment
of his instalments ? Then, again, you cannot isolate

one subscription contract. To what extent has a
subscriber in one railway company made himself
liable in other companies ? All this shows the im-
practicability of the suggested inquiries into sub-
scription contracts. If they are to be made at all,
they must be made completely ; and in the attempt
to make them'completely, Committees would toon find
themselves " in wandering mazes hist?'
But even if these inquiries were not impracticable,
there are other great and insuperable objections to
them. They would strike a fatal blow at railway
enterprise. Who would embark in railway specula-
tion if it is necessary to involve a ripping up of all
his private affairs before a Parliamentary Committee.
No man, whose credit was of consequence to him
(and what man's is not ?), could subscribe a railway
contract without running a risk of having that credit
endangered by the malice, or (at beat) interested zeal
of parties interested in competing schemes. But the
publicity itself would be an extinguisher on railway
speculation ; and without railway speculation, depend
upon it, there will be no railways ; and why is railway
speculation to be proscribed ? What is all commerce
but speculation ?

The publicity to which the names of railway sub-
scribers are, as it is, exposed by Parliament has, we
have no doubt, only an injurious effect on the cha-
racter of railway speculation. The House of Com-
mons requires its railway Committees to include al-
ways in their reports a list of the names of sub-
scribers to the amount of 2,0001. and upwards, and
last year it is well known that a Parliamentary paper
was published separately, giving the names of all
persons who had subscribed any railway contract for
an amount exceeding 2,000/. Many a strong mind
is not above a prurient fondness for gossip ; and this
Parliamentary paper, giving insight into the railway
speculations of individuals of all classes and occupa-
tions, has been more popular than a new novel. What
is the natural consequence ? That persons who do
not like to have their affairs canvassed—who have no
objection to a profitable investment, but will not have
it on that condition—who are sensitive as to their I
credit ;—the very men, in short, whose participa-
tion iu railway enterprise is most desirable, decline
signing railway contracts, and the field is left more
than ever to the stags.

Let not our remarks be misunderstood. We oppose
publicity in this case, not from a desire to encou-
rage improper speculation, but because we believe
that it has no effect whatever on the shameless, and
deters speculators of character, that it certainly does not
diminish, and if anything tends to increase the evil
which all right-minded persons must desire to abate.
But this evil, like all moral evils, legislation can only
deal with effectually, by dealing with it ind'rectly.
We shall take a future opportunity of suggesting one
or two regulations, very simple and very easy,
which would strike a deadlier blow at " stagging "
than all lists of names or inquiries into names, carried
on to the end of the world, would ever accomplish.

At the meeting held at Hereford, on Wednesday
last, the League achieved another great triumph.
Hereford is situated in an agricultural neighbourhood,
and the protectionists mustered and showed fight.
The monopolists left no stone unturned to endeavour
to divert the meeting from its purpose. Mr. Tom-
KISS in vain endeavoured to revive the fallacy that
the corn-laws were for the benefit of the la-
bourers. He was met by indignant cries of
" six shillings a week ;" and, although he posi-
tively affirmed that the agricultural labourers
were now better off than they had ever been, he did
not venture to assert that the average rate of wages
was more than Os. a week. Coupling, therefore, his
affirmative with his omission, we come to the conclusion
that the wages of the agricultural labourer in the dis-
trict with which Mr. TOMKINS is connected have never,
since the enactment of the corn-law, exceeded Os
a week, and yet this gentleman and his brother pro-
tectionists still attempt to " bamboozle" the la-
bourer by telling him that the corn-law
has been enacted for his especial benefit.
Mr. TOMKINS concluded an ultra-protectionist
speech by proposing an ultra free-trade amend-
ment. The " dodge," however, did not succeed
—the "dodger" had not been sufficiently "artful."
Acting on the sensible advice of Mr. COBDEN, to do
one thing at the time, the meeting carried the original
resolution in favour of a total and immedia'e repeal of
the corn-laws. Having done that, they agreed to a
resolution in favour of free trade generally. That,
however, was a mere work of supererogation ; for
when once the monster monopoly sinks, it will drag
down every other monopoly with it in its vortex
Let the corn-laws be repealed, and, within twelve
months, there will not be protective duty of any sort
or description left.

The leading articles of the Paris papers, which
owing to the severe weather in France and the bad•
ness of the roads, we have received at a very late hour,
are chiefly filled with comments on the proceed-
ings of the Chamber of Deputies, hut we find
nothing in them of interest to the English
reader. The success of the Ministry in all the
sessional appointments has been c&mplete. The re-
sult has had a favourable effect on the stock and
share-market, and every kind of security had
advanced.
On Wednesday the Three per Cents. for cash closed at
83f. ; for Account, 83f. 30c. • Five per Cents., 120 f. 50c. ; for

proved. Paris and Orleans left off at 1,257 f. 50c.; Paris

Sir Robert Peel, Lord Lincoln, Sir James Graham,
and Mr. Gladstone returned to town to-day from a
visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle.
It is expected that a Privy Council will be held
to-morrow at Windsor, when the Duke of Buccleuch
will be appointed Lord President of the Council, in
the room of the late Lord Wharneliffe, and the other
newly appointed Ministers will kiss hands on their
respective appointments.'

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to
5,000 bags, withcut any change in prices, and with a steady
market. The Share Market was closed.
There are no arrivals in the City this morning. Business
here is at present in a very inactive state, and is likely to
remain so for some days until the real balances of the
commercial year just past can be nearly ascertained,
and arrangements made for the future prosecution
of mercantile transactions. Prom the very few notices of
dissolutions of partnerships, which at this season of by-gone
years have been very frequent, it may fairly be inferred that
the balances, generally speaking, have been in favour of a
continuance of operations.
In the Funds this morning, there have not been many
bargains of importance. The market is rather heavy,
a few sales having been made, at from 94% to 94%;
the present value is 94%. A decline has taken place in
the Reduced Three per Cents., from 95i (the highest value
of :Yesterday) to 941 %. The premium on Exchequer-bills
is also rather lower. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. has dropped from 97% to 96%. India Bonds remain
at 335. premium.
The principal feature in the transactions in the Foreign
Market to-day is an improvement in the Brazilian Five per
Cents., from 81% to 83, but at the present time the quota-
tion is again one per cent. lower. We have not heard of any
late accounts from Rio Janeiro to have caused this rise.
There is every reason to believe, however, that the financial
condition of the Brazils is most satisfactory, Buenos Ayres
Bonds have been sold at 411/2 ; Mexican at 31% ; Peruvian
at a fall from 411/2 to 41 ; Russian at 1121/2_. Spanish for the
Account at 39, ex-dividend; and the Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 60%.
In the Railway Shares there hes not been any considerable
amount of business done to-day. The heaviness in the British
Funds has tended to damp the market to some extent. The
corrected list of prices annexed will exhibit the variations of
the day.
