the two companies.

A very long discussion took place upon this propo-
sition, in which Messrs. Bird, Thorneycroft, Castle,
and other gentlemen took part, and several amend-
ments were proposed, but eventually, at the recom-
mendation of the Chairman, they were All withdrawn.
Tne following resolution, moved by Mr. fial-NEs
and seconded by Mr. WEnsma, was- then carried
unanimously :—" That the directors be requested, it'
possible, to make a similar arrangement with the
Chester and Birmingham Company to that made with
the Shrewsbury and Chester, as soon as circumstances
will permit."
The motion that the report be received was then
put and carried unanimously, after which the re-
tiring directors were re-elected, and the proceedings
terminated.

GOVERNMENT TAXES or RAILWAY COMPANIE9.—
It appears from a return just issued that the amount
of income-tax paid' by railway companies for the year
ending the 5111 of April, 1849, was for England and
Wales, 168,8861., and for Scotland, 16,0351.; total,
184,9211. This would represeht a net income of
6,164,0331 for the year. The passenger-tax paid by
railway companies for the year ending the 31st of
December, 1849, amounted to 218,8991. 18s. 101. in
England, and to 19,009/. Iss. in Scotland ; together
to 237,9091. 13s. 101. Adding the income tax and
the passenger duty together they make, 422,830/. as
the amount paid by the railway companies in Great
Britain to the Government in one year. It is pro-
bable, from the increased traffic on the railways in the
present year, that the Government taxes on railway
property will amount to about 500,0001. for the
year 1850.
LONDON AND NoRTu-WEITERN.—A. further por-

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH
AUSTRALIA.
(From the Times.)
No announcement that has recently been made has
excited such universal regret amongst the mercantile
world as that relating to the obstructions which, it is
understood, have been placed by the East India Com-
pany in the way of the establishment of steam com-
munication with Australia. _

The delay of this long promised and most import-
ant measure cannot fail to have a prejudicial effect
upon the prospects of our vast colonies in the South
Seas, and must, in addition, seriously interfere with
the extensive and increasing commercial intercourse
between Europe and the South Pacific.
We have recently seen that her Majesty's Govern-
meat has entered into arrangements for reorganizing
the West India mail service, by which the Isthmus
of Panama will provisionally be reached in 24 days,
and ultimately in la days from England; that a plan
of steam communication with Brazil will come into
operation early in 1851 ; and that tenders for a
monthly mail to the Cape of Good Hope, to be
conveyed by steamers, have just been accepted by the
Admiralty.
The time has, therefore, arrived when any further
delay in providing for a rapid and regular communi-
cation with Australia cannot be submitted to without
enormous detriment to the many political and com-
mercial interests involved, without retarding the pro-
gress of the Australian colonies, to the inhabitants of
which a blow alike unexpected and serious will be
given by the difficulties now thrown in the way, and
which seem to be fatal to the immediate realization
of the project.
As it appears that for two years at least it will be
impossible to re-open the negotiations with the East
India Company, and that at the expiration of that
period the same difficulties as those which have proved
fatal in the present instance may then perhaps exist,
it will be useful to inquire whether it is absolutely
impracticable to arrange and bring into operation, as
a substitute for the proposed line of steamers from
Singapore to Sydney, in connexion with the Indian
line of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, a simi-
larly regular and possibly more speedy communication
with Australia and New Zealand.
In the Times of the 30.1 of November last we ex-
hibited a statement of the respective advantages of the
two only practicable results capable of being made
available in extending the benefit of steam communi-
cation from this country to Australia.

Subsequently a communication was published in
this journal from a correspondent, in which the meri
of the Singapore or Suez scheme was prominently
pressed upon the attention of the public, and it was
there shown that, leaving a Cape of Good Hope plan
out of the question, the eastern route was most desira-
ble to carry out, because of the advantages it would
afford to the Australian colonies by connecting them
with India and Chins, and completing the postal
scheme between those places and Australia. In this
letter considerable liberties were taken with facts and
distances, and deductions were drawn favourable to
the Suez route, which, if carried into effect, would
permanently injure the commercial and passenger in-
tercommunication, which it is especially the interest
of this country to establish.
The ground upon which the Government decided

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM.
The ninth general meeting of the proprietors of
this company was held on Saturday, at the Lion
Plotel, Shrewsbury. The lion. R. H. Clive, M.P.,
presided, in the absence of W. 0. Gore, E,q., M.P.,
chairman of the company.
Mr. Kstox, the secretary, then read the report.
The CHAIRMAN observed that it was a matter of
surprise and congratulation that, notwithstanding the
unparalleled difficulties under which the company had
been labouring, the revenue had been increasing. A
balance of 2 6251. remained in their favour, and he
had no doubt that if the line was carried on to
Wolverhampton and Birmingham, and the commu-
nicatian thus made complete, which he trusted would
soon be the case, the increase would be still more
encouraging.—(Hear, hear.) He would briefly
allude to the unfortunate differences existing
between the London and North-Western and
this company. No one lamented those dif-
ferences more than himself, and he should
be most happy to do anything in his power to effect
an amicable arrangement. He was particularly
anxious to state this, because he was fully aware
that in consequence of the difficulties of their posi-
tion, the company had not yet obtained that return
for their capital which they ought to have done. If
any suggestion could be made which would lead to
such an accommodation as would be agreeable to
both parties, nothing would give him greater plea-
sure, and he was sure that the same feelings were
entertained by the chairman of the company and the
directors in general.—(Hear.)
At the request of several proprietors, the secretary
read the agreement between this company and the
Shrewsbury and Chester Company. The effect of
it was to secure to both companies a through traffic,
by providing that neither should sell itself to the
London and North-Western Company, without
giving to the other the right of running upon its
line, upon the payment of fifty per cent. of its re-
ceipts.
Mr. CHARLES GEACH expressed disapprobation of
the conduct of the. directors in having made an
agreement, binding upon the company, not for a
limited period, but for ever, without bringing the sub-
ject under the notice of the shareholders. He bad no
doubt the directors had acted conscientiously; but
being himself a director he wished it to be under-
stood that he was not in any degree responsible
for it.
The CHAIRMAN said that if the directors had erred
in the matter, it was an error of judgment ; but con-
sidering the disadvantageous circumstances in which
they were placed, with a very powerful rival running
parallel with their own line, they were persuaded that
unless they could maintain a permanent through com-
munication, their short and weaker line would soon be
annihilated.—(llear, hear.)
Mr. ARROYD, of Stourbridge, protested against
the principle that directors might bind the share-
holders without their consent. If such a principle
were once admitted, no one oould say where it
would stop. He hoped the directors would give a
pledge that they would not in future make any ar-
rangement with other lines without the concurrence
of the proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN said the matter had been virtually
brought before the shareholders in the last report,
where it was distinctly stated that a committee had
been appointed for the purpose of forming a perma-
nent agreement of this nature between the two com-
panies. He would evil upon Mr. Seele to give his
opinion as to the legality of the proceedings.
Mr. J. J. SEELE said it was his opinion that the
directors had not exceeded their legitimate powtrs,
as laid down in the Act of Parliament in the agree-
ment they had made. By the 90:13 section they are
empowered to manage all the affairs of the company,
with the exceptions there stated ; which did not in-
clude the case in point, and consequently the agree-
ment in question was perrectly legal, and did not re-
quire to be confirmed by a vote of the shareholders.
Mr. OLIVER then proposed that a deputation of
shareholders should be appointed to the London and

upDn accepting a plan for the conveyance of these
mails via Singapore appears to have been that the
project would be more quickly brought into opera-
tion, and that the expense would be less to the public
service than if the western or Panama route were
adopted.
_ .

'their Lordships entirely omitted any consideration
of what effect would be produced on the passenger
and merchandize traffic—two very important items of
detail connected with the subject.
Our readers are aware that in the article of the 30th
of November we gave the preference to the western
plan for the conveyance of the Australian mails, on
the ground that in the time occupied by the transit of
each mail at least a fortnight might be saved by the
westward course over that by way of the Isthmus
of Suez, in consequence of the former route being the
most direct and easy of accomplishment, having fewer
stoppages, and, amongst other advantages, showing a
saving in total distance to be traversed of no less than
1,798 miles.

This subject has naturally attracted considerable
attention, and various opinions against the Panama
plan were haz irded, chiefly, however, by parties hav-
ing local predilections in favour of the Singapore
route, but the fact in its general bearings upon the in-
terests of this country remains undisputed and un-
answerable—viz , that in the present and prospective
position of steam navigati Al the adoption of any other
but the western route is unadvisable and impossible.
That route is the natural one, and geographically is
by far the shortest and most direct that can be taken
to Australia.

allowing the distance from Singapore to Sydney and
New Zealand to be accomplished at a speed of eight
knots, with a 'proper allowance for stoppage, the
through voyage could not be accomplished in less
than 80 to 82 days from South unpton ; thus showing
a clear saving of—say 18 to 20 days in favour of the
Panama or western course.
Before examining into the most prominent objec-
tions to this latter, the shortest and quickest method
of approching our Australian colonies, or the argu-
ments used in favour of the Suez scheme, we should
premise that in this great national enterprise the in-
terests of Great Britain and Australia are not pre-
cisely identical, but that in some respects they are
conflicting and antagonistic; and a close discrimina-
tion of what should be the action of the mother
country is necessary to guard against an in-
jury to the British public upon whom the burden of
the expense will principally fall.
While giving to Australia the much desired and

repeatedly'. prOmised boon of steam communication
with England at the expense of the national exche-
quer, it is only reasonable and fair that the home in-
terests should be protected, and that no one-sided
bargain shall be struck, the effect of which will he to
impede very much, rather than to ficilitate, the grow-
ing intercourse between Great Britain and her distant
possessions.

The merits of the two rival routes may be roughly
classed thus :—The Indian or Singapore plan would
establish a regular monthly mail to Sydney and New
Zealand in from eighty to eighty-two days from
Southampton, and would besides, in connexion with
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's lines of
steamer from Singapore, maintain a similarly regular
inter-communication between Sydney and India and
China, the latter advantage being publicly held up
as the principal reason why this route should be pre-
ferred.

On the other hand, the Panama route would effect
a more rapid and equally regular communication in
from sixty to sixty-five days between Southampton
and Sydney ; would maintain a monthly mail to and
from New Zealand; would connect New Zealand
with Australia by a monthly mail ; would open up a
communication between Great Britain and the islands
of the South Seas (Otaheite being a port of call);
and in addition would connect California and the west
coast of North and South America with New Zea-
land and Sydney—an advantage not to be lost sight
of, inasmuch as at present a considerable trade has
sprung up and is likely to increase, chiefly for agri-
cultural products, between Sydney and California.
Why, therefore, should the solitary consideration of
a merely intercolonial intercourse between India and
Sydney be allowed to preponderate in favour of the
eastern plan against that marked out by way of Pa-
nama, which offers to Great Britain such great poli-
tical as well as commercial inducements ?

The traffic between Australia and India is, no doubt,
of much importance to the former, and the establish-
ment of a line of steamers to promote such traffic
would doubtlssa be of considerable advantage to the
colonists ; but this traffic can only be regarded here
as a local one, and it is too much to expect that the
British Government should be called upon to devote
a large sum annually to maintain such a line of
steamers, which in point of fact, so far as regards the
main question of steam from England to Australia,
would complete a system the longest and most cir-
cuitous—one that will prejudice greatly the passenger
traffic between Great Britain and the antipodes, and a
scheme, moreover, possessing other grave disadvan-
tages and drawbacks to our commerce, as we shall
presently take occasion to show.
The idea of the propriety of crossing the Isthmus
of Panama with the Australian mails has latterly
assumed a greater degree of importance and feasibility,
from the fact of the Government having just pro-
vided for a much more rapid and perfectly direct com-
munication between England and Central America,
by means of the new West India mail steamers,
which next year will bring Panama to within nine-
teen days of Southampton. By the time this very
desirable change can be effected a more speedy way
of crossing the Isthmus will have been got into opera-
tion, and the way made clear for the extension of a
straight trunk line of steam-ships from Panama to
Sydney, via Tahiti and New Zealand.
It will not be denied that next to a method for
securing to our possessions in the South Seas a
regular mail to and from Great Britain, the colonists
ardently desire, and it is indispensable for the mother
country to obtain, a speedy and certain mode of per-
sonal or passenger communication, at a moderate
expense, to travellers having occasion to visit the
antipodes.

This is clearly one of the most important points of
view in connexion with the matter, and it will be
found on examination that the Singapore or eastern
plan, if ever carried out, instead of having a ten-
dency to create and promote, will altogether prohibit,
a passenger traffi c between this country and Austra-
lia, and vice versa. This will instantly bs made ap-
parent on reference to the scale of fares adopted by
the Peninsular and Oriental Company fur the convey-
ance of travellers using their steamers from S iuth-
ampton to India. The latest publication of revised
fares imposed by this company on passengers from
Southampton to Singapore (the point whence it is
proposed the Australian steamers should join the line)
is as follows

For a gentleman occupying a berth in
one of the general gentlemen'scabins £142
For a lady occupying a general ladies'
cabin • • • • • • ... 152
For a gentleman and his wife occupy-
ing a whole cabin throughout ... 350
For European servants • • ... 57
For children five years and under ten
years of ago ... • • ... .. 75
For children two.yeara and under five
years of age.. ... 55
As Singapore is 8,488 miles towards Sydney we
presume that for the remaining 4,800 miles to Syd-
ney (the termination of the voyage) a proportionate
tariff would be proposed. The probable fares (put-
ting them at the lowest) would then work out as
follows :

Southampton to Sydney via Singapore.
For a gentleman occupying a berth in
the general cabins ...
••• ...£2OO
For a lady occupying a berth in the
general cabins
• • ••• ... 210
.For a gentleman and his wife a cabin

••• ••• ••• 85
For children of five years and under
ten ...
••• ••• ••• ... 100
For children of two years and under
five ...
••• ••• ••• 85
Let any of our readers likely to depart for Aus-
tralia put to themselves the question how such fares
as these would suit their circumstances or idea., and
yet they are the very lowest that could be proposed
in conformity with the existing scale of the Penin-
sular Company. The Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's Indian steamers do not carry and have no ac-
coannodation for inferior passengers. Passengers to
New Zsaland would have to pay 151. each extra on
the above.

Against these comparatively exorbitant- and prac-
tically prohibitive rates should be placed the rate of
fare that would most likely be adopted by the western
course. The Royal Mail Company charge by the
West Indian steamers from Southampton to Chargres
(first class) 351. to 501. each passenger. From Pa-
nama to Sydney (adopting a proportionate scale) the
price for each first-class passenger would be 601. and
701., making a total, from Southampton to Sydney,
of 1001. to 1201. against 2001. to 2101. charged by the
Singapore route, or little more than one-half.
Past.engers to New Zealand would have the advan-
tage of paying about 101. less than the above, making
the rate of passage to this part of the world less than
one-half of that which would be imposed by the Sin-
gapore route.

Here, however, should be mentioned that it is pro-
posed to carry second-class passengers by the royal
mail steamers to Chagres, and no doubt provision for
this numerous class would be made by the steamers
on the Pacific side. Assuming 201. to be the price
from Southampton to Chagres, and 251. or 301. from
Panama to Sydney, it would be possible to perform
the voyage from England to Australia for, say 451, or
501. at the highest rate, including a plain but good
dietary, but of course no wines or spirits.
After a comparison of these two probable scales of
passenger fares on the respective routes, it must be
conceded that so far as the expense of personal com-
munication are concerned the Panama plan
has all the
advantages. None but rich persons could possibly
afford to go by the Indian line, whereas by the western
plan travelling to and from Australia would be
brought within limit of the means of the respectable
middling and trading classes. The Singapore
steamers would effectually prohibit the emigration of
the latter from this country, while the Panama line,
by the lessened time occupied on the voyage and the
immense difference in expense, would promote it.
With the amount of money required by a passenger,
his wife and family to pay for a passage to Sydney, via
the eastern route, it would be curious to calculate
how many acres of land, with a proportionate work-
ing stock of implements, horses, and sheep could be
purchased in Australia—enough of each certainly to
set up a beginner in a moderate way; while
_a settler
with the same extent of capital, by way of Panama,
could reach his destination in at least a fortnight

quicker, if by first class at about half the cost, and
by second class at less than one-third, in each case
possessing a considerable balance of capital available
on arrival for trading operations.
We should state, however, in regard to the rates
of fares thus charged to India] passengers by the
Peninsular and Oriental Company that, large as they
may appear, and undoubtedly are, and although they
exceed anything like what is charged on other lines,
they are generally cheerfully paid, and are not per-
haps in the main exorbitant for the nature of the ac-
commodation afforded; considering also, that they
comprise the amount charged by the Egyptian Tran-
sit Administration for crossing the Isthmus from
Alex andri a to Suez, and considering, also, that the
company has the entire monopoly of steam naviga-
tion from England to India and China. Then,
again, the classes of persons conveyed are wealthy
people—rich East Indiani, superior military officers
on furlough or returning to resume their duties, all
loving comfort and good cheer, anxious to save time,
and therefore submitting to pay almost any sum to
escape the tedium of a voyage round the C ape of
Good Hope. Nevertheless, a similar tariff of prices
applied to Australian passengers would most certainly
and effectually debar any but the most wealthy (and
of these but few are likely to travel to Australia) from
using the line, while the western plan would as cer-
tainly bring the benefits of steam conveyance within
the reach of all but the labouring classes.
A line of reasoning similar to that applicable to
passengers might he followed in regard to the mer-
chandise traffic. The lowest published scale of freight
for goods from Southampton to Singapore by the Pe-
ninsular and Oriental steamers is 20s. per cubic foot,
or 401. per ton measurement. If we add to this 51.
as the probable rate per ton from Singapore to Syd-
ney, we have a result of 451. per ton measurement
through to Sydney. This would, as a matter of
course, prohibit a merchandise traffic on the eastern
line for any description of goods, save valuable articles
of small bulk, samples, jewellery, &c.
The present rate of freight by the West Indian
steamers to Chagrea is Si. per ton measurement, then
allowing 2/. per ton for crossing the Isthmus (by
rail the charge will not be so much), and adding 8/.
per ton freight from Panama to Sydney, it will be
found that the total is 15/. per ton, a rate exactly
one-third less than that charged on the eastern line,
and one by no means so high as to prevent the ship-
ment of superior and valuable merchandise for transit
by steam to a quick and ready market. Of course
the conveyance of heavy or coarse merchandise or
produce by either route is out of the question.
With regard to the expense of carrying out a mail
service for Australia, it will be found, on consulting
the table, that the distance from Southampton to the
Isthmus of Panama is 4,722 miles, and from Panama
to Sydney, calling at Tahiti and New Zealand, 7,968
miles; from Southampton to Singapore is 8,488
miles, and from Singapore to Sydney and New Zea-
land 6,000 miles, leaving a balance of distance of
1,968 miles, which would have to be performed by
the western route over that to be traversed by the
steamers from Singapore, supposing the service to be
carried out by the eastern plan to both Australia and
New Zealand. Steam communication is, therefore,
advanced from Southampton eastwards 8,488 miles,
and westwards 4,722 miles.

On account of the increased distance necessary to
complete the chain of postal communication by way
of Panama, contractors could not engage to carry
the mails thence to Sydney for so small an annual
remuneration, as would be the case on the part of the
contractors undertaking to carry them from Singa-
pore to their destination, and the Exchequer would,
therefore, have to pay a greater amount (by pehaps
one-half) for carrying out the western in preference
to the eastern plan. We believe the plan proposed by
parties tendering for the eastern route comprised only
the delivery of the mails at Sydney, thus dropping
the New Zealand service altogether, leaving that to
be performed under an additional contract which
would have to be entered into, tenders for which
were advertised for in January last by the New
Zealand Company. One of the peculiar merits of
the Panama plan is,,therefore, that it includes a re-
guTir mail to New Zealand without any detour or
detention whetever.

The question now, therefore, narrows itself into
the simple consideration, should the cheaper but
longer distance for connecting these important parts
of the world with Great Britain be preferred over
the shorter and more expeditous, but probably more
expensive one? Seeing, first, the hinderance in the
way of completing the Singapore route before alluded
to, and bearing in mind the many advantages of the
western plan, which fully counterbalance the increased
expense, such a question must unhesitatingly be an-
swered in the negative, as the interests of this coun-
try would seriously Buff r, and its commercial and
political affairs incur material detriment by a choice
of the first plar. -
The eastern plan has the grave disadvantage of being
at any moment liable to interruption at many points
in the event of a war. The western plan is totally
free from any such eventuality.
The only tangible argument that has been, or that
can be, brought for ward in favour of the Singapore
plan, we have already mentioned to be the fact that it
will create a line of steamers between Australia and
India, but we ask is the measure to be delayed for
some years ? and is the Exchequer of this country to
be burdened by the payment of an annual suns for
the purpose of establishing such an intercommunica-
tion which, in many essential particulars would seri-
ously jeopardize the home interests and disjoint the
main line of direct communication, which it should
be the aim of the G Nernment as soon as possible to
adopt ? If a lino of vessels from Singapore to Sydney
will be of alvantage to the colonists and to
the parent country should not be
expected to provide it !for the establish-
ment of a purely local traffic, but it should be started
by the enterprise and capital of the two places most
interested in maintaining it, and India and Australia
(the former with its wealth, the latter with its
energy) should establish a project that will alike be
beneficial to both.
Supposing a contractor would be willing to carry
the mails between Singapore and Sydney for, say
60,0001. per annum, and thus to place in operation the
eastern scheme, it would be better, so far as this coun-
try is concerned, to reject altogether such proposal,
and expend 100,0001., or even more, to perfect the
western route, which a glance at the map will show
to be the straight and natural highway to the anti-
podes, compared with the uncertain and zigzag route
via Suez. Supposing, further, that it is intended to
devote 60,000/. a year to the Singapore and Sydney
steamers, and that the western plan be rejected, then
the British public, whether as merchants, traders,
travellers, or emigrants, will suffer serious injury, not
only by the additional time to be occupied on the
voyage, but also by the enormous fares for passage
and rates of freight fir merchandize thst will be
wrung from them by the great monopolists of the
eastern scheme.

It is true that in the year 1846 the Legislative
Council of New South Wales authoriz-d a select
committee to examine into and report upon the
various routes for effecting steam communication with
England, and that the committee after obtaining a
great mass of valuable evidence on the subject, re-
ported as follows on the 27th of October, 1846 :
" That the least expensive, the most expeditious, and
the most convenient and advantageous plan 7culdsb eto

through Torres Straits, calling at the projected settle-
ments of North Australia and at Port Essington, and by

Great Britain for establishing . the proposed indirect

We argue, in rejoinder to this, that circumstances
have since 1846 materially altered;' and that the in-
tercourse to and across the Isthmus of Panama has
been materially facilitated and is to experience still
further improvements ; and also that the interests of
this country, as the originator and supporter of the
scheme, should first be consulted, and that it should
be a eine qua non to adopt only the quickest, straight-
est, and most direct plan for reaching Australia. It
is very much to be doubted, too, if the colonists were
themselves to be appealed to in this juncture, if it
would not be found that their views and feelings have
undergone considerable change in reference to this
subject, and that taking the increased advantages of
which the route by way of Central America is suscep-
tible with the accompanying merits of a communica-
tion with New Zealand and California, that they would
gladly accept the one which the interests of Great
Britain should alone prompt her to carry out.
No one will deny the superiority for the travelling
public of the western route—take the crossing of the
Isthmus of Panama, for example, to be performed Ly

Nile in tug boats and across the desert in caravans.
