THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1856.

siderable discount, which was not much to be wondered
at, because half of the district which a railway had to
look to for support was occupied by the sea. (Hear.)
If the coast did not contain good mercantile ports such
as Southampton, Bristol, Liverpool, and Hull, it fol-
lowed that the sea was very unproductive to a rail-
way, and where there were such small ports
as Lymington, Poole, Sidmouth, and Exmouth,
they found in the small sailing craft a powerful
rival to a coast line in carrying rough, large, and
heavy commodities, which comprised a railway's goods
traffic, at a trifling cost. A coast li❑e also left a large
district open to the influence of a competing railway.
The distance by the central line would be 27 miles
shorter than the coast line, which was a weighty con-
sideration. It often happened that competing lines ran
at a uniform rate of fares, the longer route adopting
them in order to obtain a share of popularity, conse-
quently they would save in the outlay of construction in
adopting the central line, and derive an advantage over
their rival in the amount of their fares. The hon. gen-
tleman proceeded to remark on the better security the
central line would give over the other, and remi❑ded
the meeting that as there bad lately been new blood in-
fused into the direction, and the central scheme had re-
ceived the unanimous approval of the board, that it
would also receive the unanitneus support of the meet-
ing. He moved the reception and adoption of the report
with the agreement with the Yeovil and Salisbury Com-
pany.

Mr. DUTTON seconded the motion.
Mr. WOOD, in a lengthened address, complained that
he chairma❑ bad used his influence, as a member of
Parliament and chairman of that board, to promote ex-
tensions which had been unproductive. He had no con-
fidence in him as their chairman, and he (Mr. Wood)
advised them to call on him to resign. He was opposed
to any further extensions.
[We will give the conclusion in our next edition.)
