LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1868.

Railways form just now an engrossing subject of
interest, and all that relates totheir conduct assumes
an importance not to be overlooked. With one
thing and another they have now acquired a power
and have a monopoly that are vexatious and irk-
some if not duly restricted. The increase in rail•
way fares by the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway Company has occasioned a great deal of
ann)yance in the southern suburbs of London, and
the inhabitants have held a series of meetings in
order to discuss the subject. In the notice issued
it is said that the object is to consider the " un-
warrantable advance," and whether it was not ad-
visable to support a line of omnibuses to the City at
reduced fares. First of all it was evident that a
strong feeling of dissatisfaction prevailed, and that
some steps would be taken of a decisive nature to
testify their disapprobation. At the annual meeting
the Chairman declared that to raise the fares after
this fashion was a manifest oppression, and truly
allcd that this was a question of supply and de-
mand. The railway company have a " monopoly,"
and it is this which makes their conduct the more
unjustifiable in this instance. It is not to be won-
dered at that people should bestir themselves
in order to put a stop to the inconveniences
which they suffer from the encroachments
thus made, and turn their attention more in the
direction of circumventing the thing than merely
complaining of the hardship. It is long since so
wide-spread a dissatisfaction was occasioned by
any change or alteration in railway inaters, and
unl.ss some desirable change is made it is not
likely to subside. A small or gradual increase
would not have been objected to, but what offends
and in it .tes people is that the rise is so great, and
represents an addition of from twenty-five to one
