RAIL WAY IN TELLIGEN CE.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

We have much pleasure in laying before our
readers the following official document, which strongly
confirms the view we have taken of the equity of the
terms provisionally agreed upon between the direc-
tors of the Great Western and South Wales Compa-
nies, for the lease of the line of the latter to the first-
named corporation :
" London Terminus, Paddington,
Nov. 26, 1850.

" The directors of the Great Western Railway
Company having been requested by several proprietors
to publish the grounds upon which the proposed
agreement with the South Wales Railway Company
has been framed, think it advisable to print a letter
which was received by their chairman from Mr.
Brunel in September last, as explaining accurately
the objects and intentions of that agreement."
" 18, Duke-street, Westminster,
Sept. 16, 1850.

" My dear Sir,—l stated to the South Wales Board
on Friday last, that I had for the interest, as I be-
lieved, of the South Wales Railway Company, as
well as that of the Great Western Railway Company,
requested the Great Western board to defer for an-
other week any answer to the application of the South
Wales Railway Company for the assent, without preju-
dice, of your board to the deviations and alterations of
works which I had advised to be desirable. I did
this in the hope (although I felt the absolute neces-
sity of a speedy determination of the question) of
preventing a still wider breach, and hoping that in
the meantime I might bring about some fresh nego-
tiation between two companies for the modification of
the lease. I have accordingly suggested to the
South Wales board a somewhat different principle of
leasing from that which has hitherto been discussed,
and which may possibly remove some of the difficul-
ties which appear to hare prevented your agreement,
and I now submit the same plan for your consider-
ation. I need not repeat here the arguments by which
I have repeatedly attempted to press upon you my
view of the great importance to the Great Western
Railway Company, as well as the South \Vales
Railway Company, of an amicable adjustment of their
differences, and a cessation of the present most in-
jurious state of affairs, alike ruinous, as I believe, to
both parties. I am afraid that I have displayed great
want of ability in placing these arguments and these
views before you. I feel that I have been unable to
induce you to attach anything like the weight to
them that I believe they merit, but I believe that
you are nevertheless desirous of effecting what you
may consider a fair arrangement, and therefore,
without wearying you with any further discussion on
the subject, I will at once state my plan.
"I have assumed that the recent proposals of the
two companies, although differing in amount, admitted
the same principle—namely, that the Great Wes-
tern Railway Company were prepared to give, and
the South Wales of course desirous of receiving, the
whole of the profits up to 100,0001. or 120,0001. per
annum, that could be made by the Great Western
Railway Company fairly working the line up to
Swansea ; but that, on the one hand, the Great
Western Railway Company were unwilling to saddle
themselves with too large a fixed minimum annual
charge, irrespective of profits, while, on the other
hand, the South Wales Railway Company looked
upon the surplus profits as, to say the least, a very
doubtful contingency, and, therefore, calculated their
receipts as likely to be only those of the fixed mini-
mum rental ; and there is no doubt that they were
very much justified in this view, as, if the Great
Western Railway Company had no interest whatever
in increasing their surplus profits, they could not be
expected to make any sacrifice to increase them ; and
without the usual exertions, involving speculations
and occasional sacrifices, these profits would be less
than doubtful. Under these circumstances, I confess
I was almost surprised at the comparatively near ap-
proximation of the two in the late attempts to fix the
amount of guaranteed or minimum rentals; but this
approximation convinces me that both parties are
really desirous to effect the arrangement, and that
some inherent defect in the principle on which you
proceeded alone prevented a satisfactory conclusion.
" The plan I have to propose removes, to a great
extent, the main objection—namely the absence of a
common interest in the increase of the amount of
profits.
"I would substitute for the vague and undefined
and disputable term, surplus profit,' a fixed and de-
fined rateable payment, compounded of such a tollage
upon passengers and goods and minerals respectively,
and such a per-centage of gross receipts on each of
these branches of traffic, as should together represent
fairly and safely the probable profits on any given
amount of trade. I am quite aware of the extent of
the difficulty which attends this adjustment, but I
cannot see the impossibility of doing it. I think that
a sufficiently near approximation may be arrived at of
the probable rates to be charged to the public, and of
the probable expense of working that traffic, and that
by allotting a portion in the shape of a fixed toll or
charge, payable to the South Wales, and a fixed allow-
ance payable to the Great Western Railway Company,
to meet some of the less variable expenses, and di-
viding the rest into certain proportions between
the two companies, a very near approach indeed
may be made to a fair apportionment of the receipts,
the clear profits going to the South Wales Railway
Company, and the expenses with some margin to cover
risks to the Great Western Railway Company. I
would then commute or sell to the Great Western
Railway Company a share, say a quarter, a third, or
a halt, of these estimated profits for a fixed rental,
and this is the main feature of my plan ; the interest
of the lessees would thus become identical with those
of the lessors fully to the extent of this share over and
above their interests as general shareholders in in-
creasing the gross profits of the line, and they would
be also interested slightly to the whole extent, as I
assume that the tolls and percentages would have
some profit even upon the remainder, and that the
South Wales Railway Company might calculate upon
the line being advantageously worked, and upon re-
ceiving the whole, or nearly the whole, of the profits,
while at the satne time the amount of fixed rental to
which the Great Western Railway Company would
become liable would be limited, and be more or less,
according to the share purchased, but at all events
considerably within what has been proposed on either
side.
" A power of revision by arbitration at certain
periods might also be reserved, the principle upon
which such revision is to be made being clearly de-
fined.
"If I am correct in assuming that the principle is
mutually agreed upon, that the Great Western Rail-
way Company is to work the line to the best of their
ability for the benefit of the property as if it were
their own—that they are to repay themselves com-
pletely for the cost of doing so—and the profits up to
a certain amount are to belong to the South Wales
Railway Company ; and if after settling this the
Great Western Railway Company are willing to pur-
chase a certain share of these profits for a fixed sum,
in which there could not be much risk, I do not be-
lieve that there would be any difficulty in fixing a
rate of tolls and per-centages in the manner I have
suggested that should carry out that principle. At
all events the plan has the advantage, and no mean

According to geographers the distance from
Siiuthampton to Alexandria is exactly (qua! to the
distance fr.,ro Alexandria to Southampton, and the
distance from Suez to Calcutta exactly equal to the
distance from Calcutta to. Suez. But were we to rely
upon the rates charged by tl.'e Peninsular and Oriental
Company upon their passengers, we might hesitate
before assenting to this apparently self-evident propo-
sition. A passenger from Southampton to Alexan-
dria is charged 40/. ; a passenger from Southampton
to Calcutta, 1151. But a passenger from Calcutta to
Suez is charged 1021., and a passenger from Calcutta
to Southampton 1151., leaving only 131. instead of
401. for the passage through the Mediterranean and
across the Bay of Biscay.
On a former occasion we ventured to attribute this
anomaly to a desire on the part of the company to
compel all its Indian passengers to " book through"
to England; instead of leaving it in their option to
proceed from Alexandria either by the Mediterranean
and the Bay of Biscay, or overland by Trieste. And
a " Lover of Fair. play" expressed surprise that we
could for a moment be so absurd as to imagine that
the company would leave them any option on the
matter.

ow, we will not take upon us to say that the com-
pany can be expected to be so disinterested as to carry
passengers to Suez, and leave it optional to them to
proceed onward from Alexandria either in the com-
pany's vessels, or in the vessels of any other parties
as may suit their convenience or caprice. But we do
say that if the company refuse to do this, it is desira-
ble that some other means of transit than their vessels
should be kept available for Indian travellers who do
not wish to bind themselves to use the company's
steamers on this side of Alexandria.

And this is the reason why we attribute so much
importance to the keeping of the Bombay and Suez
line out of the hands of the Peninsular and Oriental
Company. At present travellers from India, who wish
to remain a short time in Egypt, and then proceed
onwards by any steamer that offers, or who wish
to proceed from Alexandria by the Trieste route,
may reach Suez without paying almost the whole of
the passage to Southampton, by embarking at Bom-
bay. But if the Peninsular and Oriental Company
are to get possession of the Suez and Bombay line,
as well as of the Suez and Calcutta line, this will no
longer be possible.

The alternative, therefore, does not lie, as some
writers on the subject would have us believe, between
kt,t ping the Sw z and Bombay line in the hands of
the East Indian Government and transferring it to
the Peninsular and Oriental Company. Even
though the East Indian Government should be brought
to acknowledge that the line could be better managed
by private individuals than themselves, it would still be
for the interest of the public that the Peninsular and
Oriental Company should not be the parties to whom
the management is entrusted.

It will not do to say that no private individuals
can be got to undertake the service except the
Peninsular and Oriental Company. Government
has never tried to learn whether or not other
parties might be induced to undertake it. The cir-
cumstances under which Government have attempted.
to transfer the Bombay and Suez line to the Peninsu-
lar and Oriental Company are as follows :
In the beginning of the year the Admiralty in-
vited tenders for carrying the mails monthly to
Sydney. Not a word was said in the adver-
tisement about carrying the mails between Suez
and Bombay, and between Calcutta, Singapore,
and Hong-Kong. Of course only such parties sent
in tenders as were disposed to attempt the Austra-
lian service. But the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, uninvited, tendered at the same time
for the Australian, the Bombay and Suez,
and the Calcutta and Hong-Kong services. Their
tender etas sent in on the 224 of January last, and
on the 9.18 t of February the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer wrote to the chairman and deputy-chairman
of the East India Compauy, urging that the
tender should be accepted. Had the chairmen
of the East India Company and his colleagues closed
with the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
all overland passengers from India to England would
have been compelled to " book through ' from India
to England, or at least to pay within a trifle of us
much for being carried to Suez as for being carried
to England.

This is what we seek to press upon the attention of
the lingli,h and Indian publics, the necessity of not
allowing both of the bi• monthly mail lines to fall into
the same hands. It may be, that Government officera
are not competent to work a passenger and mail
line in a satisfactory manner, and that therefore
the East Indian Government ought to transfer
the Bombay and Suez line to private enterprise.
But if this is to be done let it be done publicly :
let the public have the benefit of competition for the
service. There are already several Mediterranean
steam companies to whom it would be an object to
undertake the conveyance of the Indian mail which
is dispatched in the beginning of the month,
though it would be none to undertake the conveyance
of the mail from Singapore to Sydney, or to Aus-
tralia by qty other route. Even should the East
India Company relinquish the mail dispatched in the
interest
beginning of each month, it is for the public
that an opportunity should be afforded of having it
conveyed upon more advantageous terms than are
offered by the Peninsular and Oriental ; it is for the
public interest that one of the bi-monthly mails
should be in the hands of parties willing to convey
passengers from India to Suez, and then leave them
free to proceed onward, from Alexandria by any
route or conveyance they may choose.—Daily News.

LOLA MONTES ENTERING A CONVENT.
The great event of the religious world, and which
has become the most favoured subject of religious
gossip, is the approaching conversion of Lola Montes
by the Abbe Deguerry. It appears that the worthy
Abbe, in his zeal for the good of the Church, had
called upon the fair Lola for aid in establishing the
new Chapel of Augustin, and with the tact for which
he is so remarkable had succeeded in engaging her
attention upon religious subjects, and the conversation
thus begun was found to be so interesting that the
Abbe remained the whole afternoon, and far, indeed,
iwo the middle of the night, by the side of the new
convert, and never left her till her heart was soft-
ened, and she had owned, with bitter tears, that
all the idols she had worshipped with such fervour
in this life had brought her nought but disappoint-
ment and despair. Before he departed the Abbii
took from his neck the cross and scapulary he
wore, and the little reliquary containing a thorn
from our Saviour's crown, and placed it round
the neck of the repentant Magdalen, and bade her
pass the night in prayer for help in the great work she
had began. The next day he returned again—
and the next—and the next—until he now
seldom leaves the house but for the accom-
plishment of his religious duties ; and they
say he is determined to have attained his great
design of claiming her as his own before the festivals
of Christmas. Such is the tale of Lola's occupations
as given by the religious world, and one which meets
with many believers among those who know the his-
tory of all the bitterness and disappointment, the
persecutions and injustice to which, even amidst her
grandeur, she has been subjected. Others, again, tell
of more worldly motives for this mystery and se-
clusion ; and this very week another of those tales to
which her:-ojourn in every city in Europe has given rise
has been afloat in Paris, a tale of strife and struggling,
of violence and fighting in her presence between two
Englishmen—accompanied on her part by terror and
hysterics, and the memory of the fate of Dajarrier,
the one great sorrow of her life. No wonder that it
may be deemed possible that this tormented, troubled
soul, might be induced to seek repose within the
bosom of the Church ; no wonder that the story of
her approaching retirement to the convent of Challiot
may have found both supporters and believers here!

More than 3,000 Roman silver medals have just
been discovered by a poor vine grower in the neighbourhood
of Nimes, in a field belonging to him. They were enclosed
in an earthen urn. Another small urn was near it, contain-
ing 162 medals of pure gold. The latter, which weighed 867
grammes, were sold to the town of Nimes, and to some ama-
teurs, at the rate of 115 fr. per ounce. They consist of 2of
Julius Caesar, 14 of Trajau, 26 Vespasia.n, 5 Nero, 17 Anto-
ninus, 16 Doinitian, 11 Adrian, 3 Co mmodus, 5 Lucius

tinus, 1 Lucilla (the wife of Antoninus), 1 Nerve, 1 Sabinus,
1 Didius-Julianus, 1 Pertinax, and 2 oi' Aurelian. Out of
the silver medals, only 1,500 have been saved; the others
were melted down by a silversmith, to whom they had been
sold.
