DUDLEY, MADELEY, BROSELEY, AND
IRONBRIDGE RAILWAY, WITH EXTENSION TO
SHREWSBURY.
At a meeting of the Managing. Committee of this Company, held
at the Stork Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday, the 10th of Decem-
ber, 1845,
'WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair,
The following Report of the Committee was read :
The Managing Committee of the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and
Ironbridgeitailway Company, with extension to Shrewsbury, feel
that it is due to themselves and to the Shareholders, to lay before
them, at the earliest possible period consistent with due inquiry, their
present position, consequent upon the circumstances which will be
found detailed in the following Report :
Mr. Francis Giles became the engineer of the Company on its for-
mation, and the Committee were induced to place confidence in him
from the fact of his having been employed by Mr. Robert Stephenson,
in his absence, to lay out several important lines in the vicinity of
the line of railway projected by this Company.
Mr. Giles attended a meeting of the Committee at Birmingham,
early in October, when he gave positive assurances that he was ra-
pidly proceeding with his work, and had made such arrangements
as would enable Min to complete it in good time; and from that pe-
riod till the end of November he constantly reiterated those assu-
rances to the Committee, to the respective solicitors, and to the se-
cretary, loOth orally and in writing. Every assistance was rendered
which he required, and extracts from the correspondence will abun-
dantly testify tkat all was done by the Committee and the officers of
the Company to enable him to complete his work by the 29th of No-
vember. His applications for money were, in every case, complied
with, and the sum of 4,0..10/. was at various periods advanced to him,
on account of his own and the surveyors' charges ; the last payment
of 2,0001. having been made, at his own solicitation (though not with-
out considerable hesitation on the part of the Committee), in order to
avoid the possibility of his operations being retarded for want of
funds, or to afford any possible pretext for their being inefficiently
performed. • Of this sum, Mr. Dugdale Houghton, the Company's
surveyor (Mr. Giles 's brother-in-law), has accepted his (Mr. Giles 's)
liability to him for 2,010/., and Mr. Giles has paid Mr. John Brettell,
another surveyor, 3001., thus leaving him (Mr. Giles) the sum
of 1,7001.
The anxiety expressed that all should be ready in time'was only
equalled by Mr. Giles's assurances that there were no grounds for
apprehension, as the following extracts from the correspondence on
the subject will show :
On the 17th of October, Mr. Collis, one of the Company 'a solici-
tors, thus addressed Mr. Giles—
" Great anxiety is entertained as to the sections and surveys he ing
ready in time. I do hepe you will use every exertion to get them
done, and well done."
On the 28th October, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles—
" I trust you will get the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line
completed without'delay, as time runs on. I am glad to tell you
that all goes on favourably, and everything now rests with you. You
have, of course, made proper arrangements as to the engraving."
On the 31st, Mr. Collis says in a letter to Mr. Giles—
" I assure you most unpleasant rumours are abroad amongst our
proprietors that our sections and plans will not be properly done or
ready, as Dugdale Houghton will have told you. Now I have done
all in my power to put a stop to these reports. I entreat of you to
have the sections of the whole line from Dudley to Ironbridge and to
Shrewsbury, as.well as the surveys, most carefully done. You have,
of course, made due arrangements as to the engraving of the sec-

In a letter to Mr. Collis; on the 9th of November, respecting the
Oldbury branch, Mr. Giles says, in reference to the plans which he

I several solicitors. Mr. Giles, after informing the Committee that he
had known amended sections deposited after the 30th of November
to be received in Parliament, where notice of such emendations had
been given to the landowners, offered to make correct sections at his
own expense, to enable the Committee to apply for their Bill ; and
Mr. Houghton also offered his personal services, free of charge, In
the event of their determining to proceed, and the application proving
unsuccessful. Under these circumstances, taking into consideration
the fact that the erns line from Stourbridge to Wolverhampton
formed a very important, and to a certain extent independent por-
tion of the projected railway, and that it was probable, from what
Mr. Giles had stated, that they should be in a position to apply for a
Bill for it in the ensuing session with a reasonable prospect of suc-
cess, the Committee agreed that the solicitors should forthwith take
the opinion of the Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dyson, Hall, and
Company, as to the course the Committee should pursue; and also
send competent persons to ascertain what sections had really been
deposited. Mr. Giles had stated that he should at once proceed to
make entire new sections of the whole line.
The deliberate written opinion of the Parliamentary agents has
been obtained, to the effect that it was " a very reasonable and
proper ease to bring before the Standing Orders Committee, with a
view of obtaining a decision in favour of the Bill proceeding." But
information was afterwards received from the parties sent to search
at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace, that the sections of the im-
portant cross line from Stourbridge to WolvehamPton had not been
deposited, that sections of several miles: of the main line had also
not been deposited (despite the decisive statements of Mr. Giles and
Mr. Houghton, the latter of whom delivered out the sections), and
that those which had been lodged were extremely incorrect in detail.
In the altered circumstances of their affairs, the Committee were
at once convinced that their only course was to advise the share-
holders to abandon all thoughts of an application to Parliament for
a Bill in the ensuing session, and to consider what steps should be
taken to protect the shareholders from the consequences of the con-
duct which it has been their painful duty to detail.
With this object, as well as with respect to the future operations of
the Company, the Committee have called Mr. Sergeant Allen and
their Parliamentary agents to their aid, and they will most anxiously
and carefully consider the propriety of taking such steps in reference
to competing lines in the next session as they may be advised.
One course which the Committee propose to adopt, is forthwith to
return to the Proprietors the sums of 21. per share, on such condi-
tions as counsel may deem necessary for the purpose of enabling the
Committee to prosecute the undertaking in the session of 1847,
should it be found expedient to do so.
The liabilities of the Company will be forthwith ascertained and
discharged ; •and the Committee beg to inform the Shareholders that
every regard has been paid to economy consistent with the progress
of the scheme ; and further, that no expenditure has taken place
since the 30th of Noveniber, saving such as was actually necessary
for ascertaining their real position.
The Committee desire to record their unabated confidence in the
intrinsic excellence of the line, and to express their regret that a
scheme, supported by such an array of noblemen, Members of Par-
liament, landowners, ironmasters, and other gentlemen, whose in-
terests demand its construction, together with a large proprietary of
unexampled respectability, full one-half being local, should have
been frustrated by the circumstances which they have set forth.
They are consoled, however, by the conviction that a railway so im
pe"atively demanded by the locatty, possessing gradients superior to
any other line in the district, accommodating South Staffordshire
and Shropshire in a manner that no other scheme can do, bringing
the respective places in Recourse much nearer to each other than
any other project does, and gaining, as it has, so great an amount of
public favour by its undoubted merits, must shortly be carried out.
It now only remains for the Committee to say that they should
fail in fully discharging their duty, if they did not express their per-
fect satisfaction with the conduct of the solicitors and the secretary,
all of whom have paid the most unremitting attention to.their re-
spective duties, and have used their utmost exertions to advance the
interests of the Company.
The report having been read, the following resolutions were
unanimously carried:—
I. That the report now read to the Commite be adopted and
published, at the discretion of the Committee, intethe local and daily
newspapers.
2. That the further. services of Mr. Francis Giles, as engineer to
this Company, be at once dispensed with.
3. That the Committee of Management take such proceedings
against Mr. Giles, their late engineer, as counsel may advise.
4. That the warmest thanks of the Committee are eminently due
to Richard Heath and Joseph King, Esqs., for remaining in Birming-
ham during the eventful period ending with the 30th of November,
and lending their valuable assistance to secure the deposit of the
plans and sections.

had received—'
" The plans are, as I consider, in good condition."
On the 10th of November, Mr. Collis thus writes to Mr. Giles—
" I know you will pardon my expressing deep anxiety as to every-
thing being done in due time, particularly that we may have the Sec-
tions and surveys finished, as the middle of November Is nearly
arrived." •
Three days afterwards, viz., on the 13th, Mr. Collis says—
" I hope you will nse every means to complete the sections with
the least possible delay. I assure you we all feel extreme anxiety on
tile subject. Should you want me, or if I can do anything to for-
Ward you, pray send for me, or let me know immediately."
The next day, the 14th, Mr. Collis again urges Mr. Giles onward,
by saying—
" We quite rely upon your having all ready, and that the sections
are in the hands of the lithographer. Bear in mind that the 29th is
only twelve days off, and that the sections must be sent before then
to us, and be ready to deposit. I trust you will excuse my most
earnestly beseeching you to use every possible exertion to complete
everything as quickly as practicable. The general impression is, that
we shall not be ready. • We must not spare exertion of any kind ; in
fact, we must keep faith with the public."
On the 19th, Mr. Collis writes—
" I have just heard that Houghton thinks there is some misunder-
standing between you and the lithographer. If there be the slightest
foundation for this, I beg and pray of you not to lose an instant in
setting this matter right. Excuse my personally entreating you to use
every exertion, as I am daily pressed on the subject."
To this Mr. Giles replies on the 20th—
" I know of no misunderstanding between me and the lithographer.
Don't give credit to such nonsense."
The same day, the 20th, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles as follows—
" I am desired by the Committee to beg and entreat you to see that
the sections are completed, and placed in the lithogra.pher's hands as
speedily as possible. I do hope you will excuse my writing so ur-
gently to you. I do seriously assure you that we all feel that
honour and characters are at stake, to say nothing of the large sum
of money that would be sacrificed if our plans and sections are not
duly deposited."
On the 21st, Mr. Giles replied as follows—
" I beg that you will not be in any anxiety about lithographing the
sections. Mr. Houghton will get some done in Birmingham. I will
get all the rest done, and have provided for it. You shall deposit on
the 29th. I come to Birmingham to-morrow night, by express train,
to meet my troops, who are all to assemble at Dees to-morrow
night."
Mr. Collie's next letter to Mr. Giles is dated November 21st, in
which he says—
" I know you will not like my troubling you with these
m repeated
urgent letters, but I confess I am so strongly pressed by nu of
people daily, that I feel painfully anxious that we should not fail in
keeping good faith with our shareholders."
Mr. Giles replies on the 22d—
• "If you come to me to-morrow, in order to be made certain of my
work being done, I will even show you my plan and arrangements
for it—otherwise be assured of it -
The Committee, feeling that the foregoing extracts abundantly
confirm the assertion with which they set out, will now refer to the
statements made to them by Mr. Joseph King and Mr. Heath, two
active members of the Committee, who were in Birmingham, watch-
ing the later proceedings.
Mr. King states that he went to Birmingham, at the urgent re-
quest of Mr. Collis, in company with him and Mr. Heath, on Thurs-
day, the 27th of November, and that he remained there till Satur-
day night, with the exception of a few hours on Friday, during which
period he had every reason to believe that the business was pro-
ceeding satisfactorily.
Mr. Heath reports that he accompanied Mr. Collid ro Birmingham
on the 18th of November, at his request, to have an interview with
Mr. Giles, who had stated that he should be there that night. They
and Mr. Wainwright saw Mr. Giles after midnight. at the Royal
Hotel, when he gave them the most positive assurances that every-
thing would be ready in time. The following Monday, the 24th, Mr.
Heath again went to Birmingham with Mr. Collis, when Mr. Giles
repeated his former assertions that everything would be ready.
Three days afterwards, Thursday, the 27th, Mr. Heath, at Mr.
Collis's request, once more went to Birmingham, accompanied by
Mr. Collis and Mr Joseph King, and remained there until he had
seen the various gentlemen start on Sunday night to make their re-
spective deposits.
About five o'clock on Sunday afternoon Mr. Heath saw Mr.
Houghton deliver the plans to the several solicitors, in doing which
he (Mr. Houghton) expressed his obligations to them and the other
gentlemen connected with the Company, for the assistance they had
rendered him, adding that the sections would be ready in half an

The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to inform
the allottees in this undertaking, that the preeeedings of the Com-
pany are progressing satisfactorily, that they do not anticipate any
opposition, and have every reason to expect an Act will be obtained

REPORT.
To the Acting Committee.
Gentlemen,—l have the pleasure to inform yo,t, that the plans
and sections of the line have been completed, and were duly depo-
sited at the office of the Board of Trade, and at the offices of the
Clerks of the Peace in the counties of Chester and Lancaster, on
Saturday, the 29th ult.
The utmost care and. precaution have been t tken to make the
plans and sections accurate in every particular; and their having
passed under my own immediate inspection, warrants me in saying,
that the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament have been
complied with.
By reference to the phut; and sections, you will perceive that the
gradients and curves are of the most favourable description, fully
bearing out the opinion I give on first going over the ground, that no
country could possibly (Ar greater engineering facilities for the con-
struction of a railway. lam therefore satisfied that this line will be
worked at as moderate a cost as any in the country.
I have not yet completed a detailed estimate, but from calcula-
tions I have already made, I am of opinion that tny previous estimate
will be fully sufficient for carrying out and completing the line.
During the survey, I have had every opportunity of ascertaining
the feelings and opinions of the owners and oceepiers of the land
through which it is proposed to pass, and can say, with confidence,
that they are generally in favour of the project, and have every wish
for its success.
Having been requested by many of your board to
give nay opinion
as to the ultimate success of the line, I do not hesitate to do so,
although Ido not consider it within my province. the success of it
does not, in my opinion, admit of a doubt. Ido not look upon this
Hue as dependent upon local traffic, bat as a link in a great and im-
portant chain of railways, which will form the most (area and best
communication with the South-Eastern and Midland Counties, as
well as with the great and important towns in the north-west of
England and Scotland. With this view, it would be impossible to
over-estimate the Importance of the undertaking, or the amount of
traffic ; but. I have no hesitation in saying, that the returns to the
shareholders will be quite equal to the average of the test lines in the
kingdom.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient, faithful servant,
H. T. EDWARDS, Acting Engineer.

BRANDY AND CAPSULES.-Mr. BETTS
(the late firm of J. T. BETTS and CO.), Patent Brandy
Distiller, 7, Smithfield Bars, feels it due to himself and the public to
state, that the Manufacture of the PATENT BRANDT was not,
and never has been known to any person except to himself and one
of his sons. And that he was succeeded in the business of the Dis-
tillery, 7, Smithfield Bars, by his sous, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO.,
on his retiring therefrom? in 1843.
Mr. BETTS further states, that he is the sole Patentee, manufac-
turer, and vendor of the Metallic Capsule, (or solid metal covering
for the muths of bottles), that no other Brandy in England, except
BETTS'So PATENT BRANDY, is thereby protected ; the Patent
Metallic Capsule if, therefore, applied to any other Brandy, must
have been surreptitiously obtained.

hour.
After this interview with Mr. Houghton, the party left to'prepare
for starting, and returned to Mr. Houghton's office about half-past
five o'clock in the afternoon, where they remained until twenty
minutes to nine in the evening, and during this period, facts of such
importance are spoken to, that the Committee feel bound, not-
withstanding its length and the reluctance of Mr. Heath,
to give a letege portion of his report in detail. After stating that they
found Mr. Joshua John Peele, of Shrewsbury (solicitor to the Wor-
cester and Crewe, and also to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail-
way Companies), and Mr. Hood (a relative of Mr. Roy, the other so-
licitor to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company), in Mr. Hough-
ton's waiting room, ready to convey the Worcester and Crewe plans
for deposit, Mr. Heath thus proceeds :
" Between seven and eight o'clock Mr. Peele was sent for by Mr.
Houghton, and he remained in Mn Houghton's room until after the
delivery of the sections by Mr. Houghton to the respective solicitors.
At this period I became very anxious, and requested Mr. Collis to see
Mr. Houghton. Mr. Collis accordingly went into Mr. Houghton's
room on the first floor, but immediately returned and told us that
Mr. Houghton positively insisted on his leaving the room. Shortly
after this Mr. Giles came out of Mr. Houghton's room, and on my
asking him respecting the sections, Mr. Giles said that they had
~peen out of his hands some time, and that they were under Mr.
Houghton's care, upon which I again requested Mr. Collis to go to
Mr. Houghton. Mr. Collis, consequently, went a second time, but
came back directly and said that Mr. Peele (whom I saw in
Mr. Houghton's room when the door was opened) refused to admit
him, telling him (Mr. Collis) that Mr. Houghton would soon hand out
the sections. Mr. Collis further said that he had remonstrated with'
Mr. Peele on the impropriety of his being in Mr. Houghton's room at
suA a moment. Thus matters stood, the solicitors and myselfremaining
in a small room adjoining Mr. Houghton's, in a state of great anxiety;
a person being then stationed in the passage leading to the door of
Mr. Houghton's room, who positively refused to allow any one of us
to pass to it. Soon after eight o'clock Mr. Peele, from Mr. Hoagh-
ton's room, called the respective solicitors of the Company, who ac-
cordingly went into the room, whither I followed them ; and where
I saw Mr. Houghton give to each of them certain rolls, which he
said contained the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line com-
plete, except the section of the branch from Rudge to Wolverhamp-
ton, which he said should be delivered out in a few minutes, if it
could be found, adding that they were then engaged in looking for it.
We then left Mr. Houghton and went into the anti-room, where we
consulted together as to the propriety of the solicitors at once pro-
ceeding to their respective destinations (the evening being so far ad-
vanced), to deposit such sections as they had ; but it was at length
agreed that Mr Houghton should be again distinctly asked if the
rolls he had given to each of the solicitors contained the sections of
the whole line, except the Wolverhampton branch ; for which pur-
pose Mr. Collis once more went to Mr. Houghton's room, Mr. Wain-
wright, another of the Company's solicitors, following him.
Mr. Collis returned immediately, and reported that Mr. Hough-
ton had told him, contrary to what heoe(Mr. Houghton) had
previously stated, that the respective bundles did not contain the
whole of the sections with the exception of the before-mentioned
branch. Upon this the solicitors and myself held another con-
ference, during which Mr. Collis partially unrolled one of the
bundles of Sections, and it appearingthat Dudley was upon one sheet
and Shrewsbury upon another, the solicitors and I came to the con-
clusion that the rolls which they had received comprised the sections
of the entire main line, contrary to Mr. Houghton's last statement.
Immediately upon this discovery being made, Mr. Peele called from
Mr. Houghton's room for Mr. Collis, whither he went, returning
directly, and stating that Mr. Houghton had now informed him that
their respective rolls did contain the whole of the Sections of the line,
with the exception of the Wolverhampton branch. The same state-
ment as to the correctness of the rolls was made by
nd Mr. Houghto
colleagues
n to
the other solicitors of the Company. Mr. Collis a his
then started, at twenty minutes before nine o'clock.
with much pain,
"
Mr. Heath concludes as follows :—" Observing,
that attempts have been made to impute blame to the solicitors, in
reference to their conduct on Sunday, the 30th of November, and
preceding days, and particularly that a scene of gross confusion and
disorder occurred in the surveyor's room, in which they are impliedly
charged as participators, I feel that though I have shown they were
rigidly denied access to Mr. Houghton's room, I owe it to the Com-
pany, to these gentlemen, and to myself, as a member of the Manag-
ing Committee, to declare that a more unfounded calumny could not
have been uttered. I was with these gentlemen during the whole of
Sunday ; I had many opportunities of observing their unrem
littinghave
exertions on the preceding days—l may say nights also ; and
great pleasure in stating that, with whomsoever the blament of of thar-
is
failure may rest, it was in no way attributable to any Wa
rangement or zeal, or activity, on the part of the solicitors, or of the
secretary, their conduct throughout, and especially during the most
critical period, having been praiseworthy in the highest degree."
The Committee have also received reports from the solicitors: re.
(erring to the circumstances detailed by Mr. Heath, and speaking
in the highest terms of the exertions made by Mr. Houghton to com-
plete his portion of the work in good time, up to the period of the
delivery of the plans ; ut they do not think it necessary, after uot-
ing at so great a lengtbh front Mr. Heath's statement, to allude to
them ffirther at present.
Notwithstanding the foregoing facts show it was next to an impos-
sibility to make the deposits in time at Shrewsbury and London, the
Committee think it no more than justice to state, that the most
strenuous exertions were made to do so, Mr. Anstice posting to the
former place, a distance of forty-five miles, in three hours and twenty-
seven minutes, and Mr. Wainwright arriving at the Board of Trade,
in London, upwards of one hundred and fourteen miles, by the aid of
a special engine, in three hours and forty-six minutes, both gentle-
men having been retarded on their way by accidents on the road.
The journey to Stafford, twenty-six miles, might have been readily
accomplished by Mr. Collis, but he was detained a long time on the
road between Birmingham and Walsall, in consequence of the great
misconduct of his postboys, which was such as to induce suspicion
that unfair means had been employed to retard his journey. Hy
great exertion Mr. Collis ultimately reached Stafford in due time.
Mr. Houghton made the deposit at Wo: cester also in good time.
As soon as the failure in the deposits was known, a meeting of the
Committee was hastily summoned at Dudley, when Mr. Giles and
Mr. Houghton attended. The former off'red
.no excuse for his con-
duet, further than that" he had been disappointed, adding that no
parties could have behaved better or acted more handsomely, than
the Committee and the officers of the Company had behaved towards
him; and he at once admitted, that even if the lateness of the de-
posits could he got over, his sections were in some instances so de-
fective, thtt they would not bear a searching examination. In an-
swer to questions which were pressed upon him, he said " That the
sections of the cross line from Stourbridge to Wolverhampten were
strictly correct ; in fact, he believed the sections of the whole scheme
were complete, with the single exception of the branch to Wolver-
hampton." Mr. Houghton expressed his sorrow at the failure to de-
posit, and his regret at the mis-statement made by him to Mr. Collis
on Sunday evening ; justifying himself, however, by saying that he
was greatly excited at the time, from his previous exertions,
and that he corrected himself immediately. Tins, the
Committee may remark, is opposed to Mr. Heath's statement, by
which it appears that soma time elapsed before Mr. Houghton re-
aalled his previOUS VA this gateman is echlinholl by the

TURKEY. •
NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND THE PORTE.
RAILWAYS IN TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.—The principal intelli-
gence I have to-day to send you is,. that Russia has at
last entered into a new commercial treaty with the Porte,
which will place her in the same commercial relations with
this country asthe other nations of Europe. This measure
so long urged, especially by Great Britain, on the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh, and so long delayed, has certainly
been very reluctantly adopted. Since 1839, when
England and other western states trading with the Otto-
man empire formed their present common treaty of com-
merce, for so their separate treaties may. be called, with
the Porte, it has been a constant complaint against Rus-
sia that she has refused to trade with this country on the
same terms as other nations. _ _

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps,London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. • The genee
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
,great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most usefld and convenient sauce; will keep good in all
climates. _ _

The Original Fish-sauce Warehouse,

- It is perhaps necessary to remind your readers that
the commercial treaty of 1839, alluded to, was framed
for the express purpose of putting an end to a system of
trade which was alike injurious to the foreign and the
native merchant, and to the general consumer. Up to
the date just named, raitny of the most imrortant objects
of commerce in Turkey could not be brought into the
market for foreign importation without a firman from
the Turkish thavernment. This firman was sold to certain
merchants fora sum .a good deal under the value of the
merchandise they, by virtue of the firman, became pos-
sessed of. The merchandise, corn or wool, or whatever
it might be, was then sold again, and a third time,
perhaps, before it came fairly into the public mart.
And by this means a very large revenue was secured
to the Porte, and the most vicious monopolies were
established. In the interior provinces of Turkey
especially, this system was found to be most vexa-
tious, ruinously to the disadvantage of the fair,
unprotected trader, whilst it enriched enormously fa-
voured individuals. The public revenue, however, ac-
cruing therefrom could not be dispensed with till some
other source of revenue should be opened. England,
therefore, and other,pations agreed with the Porte that,
on the condition of these firman monopolies being
, abolished, the import duties on foreign merchandise and
the export duties on the home produce and manufactures
of this country shoul4 be considerably augmented. The
tariff was accordingly; raised to 5 per cent. for imports,
and to 12 per cent. (altogether) for exports. By this
arrangement all parties were great gainers. By the
suppression of monopolies the commerce of Turkey with
foreign nations has, within the last few years, been
much increased. But Russia refused from the beginning
to adopt the new arrangement, and by so doing she set
all fairness at defiance, as she necessarily partook of all
the advantages which England and other States had
been glad to purchase at a heavy cost. The tariff to
which Russian trade till now has been subject in this
country- has only been 3 per cent. for import
duties and 5 per cent. for exports. She has
thus for several years enjoyed here immense com-
mercial privileges,
,which she has had all to herself,
and of course Russian merchaats have thriven, in what-
ever part of the Ottoman empire they have opened busi-
ness, above those of any other nation. These advan-
tages are not, however, to be relinquished. After a long
negotiation of two years the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh
has consented to be placed on the same commercial foot-
ing with the Porte as other foreign States. The Eng-
lish and Preach merchants here naturally rejoice
much in this event; the more so as they had fully
persuaded themselves that it would never be brought
