ne number of railways in Scotland,. as yet, is small;
awl ir. lets been customary when the charges by these
leave been complained of, as being excessive, to point to
the still higher rates imposed in England ; but that, we
eat:et:ivy, is no argument at all : we wish to view Scot-
tish railways as pertaining to the country in which
they exist, and therefore the system laid down
for their management should accommodate itself
to the feelings, habits, and means of the Scottish people.
The Fngiish are a richer people than the latter ; that is,
there are more individuals amons:st them who can afford
to travel by first and second-class carriages, and, there-
fore, it may be said that the railways are mainly sup-
ported by these elssses,—the working people being, in
feet, a nrirely prohibited (excepting in a few cases) from
travelling at all. But in Scotland it is different : there
ara not, in that country, enough of first. and second-class
I ass. ngers to support railways ; and consequently, if
the Et Aiish system were adopted, similar to that exer-
ed on the Birmingham and London, the South Western,
and the Grand Junction, our establishments might shut
s'..op altogether.
Pie system arrived at, therefore, in Scotland seems
to consist in giving accommodation, and charging fares,
as nearly as possibly can be, approaching to the English
system, but only niodiged to such extent as will admit
sin ascerteined quantdy that will submit to travel ; and
from that quantity to draw as much money as will pay
the erapi i, tors a divklend.
What is the cons-quince? People grumble and
blame the d-reAors, which, of course, the latter don't
care a straw allow; but these grumblings, in the course
of time, groe into such a respectable form, as we shall
•.r-, that thy reach the Legislature, and there it is that
the railway propri, tars find out their mistake at last, but
perhaps when it is too late.'
It is a very fine thing, to be sure, for a set of di-
recto-s, to sit in a splendid board-room, with courteous
engineers and civil secretaries et their sides, and upon
entoot`i soft leather chairs, to 101 l while they hear plans
iese loped for their own especial behoof ; but there are
melt thines as committees of the House of Commons,
I thank God there is a House of Lords ; and as
5,..,,; rely any railway now exists but what may improve
its truffle by an extension here, or protect its interests
evith a branch there ; it happens so that the gentlemen
of the leather-bottomed chairs may find themselves
:-ltinditeT. at the bar of a Parliamentary Committee, and
eahhiug shoulders with humble witnesses, while the fate
eic these branehes lies in the dictum of five discreet
"s, alio lave a far greater sympathy and respect for
.hird.class passengers, than for Lords of the board
room. Then it is that the poor third classer at last find
out that he ia something better than a horse or an ox,
end that he has a " locus standi," more dignified than
or a mere be-cindered, be-frozen, be-rained upon,
pt nay-a•

Le 0 these dignified directors, to find that their nicely-

. elerice of some simple countryman, a ho graphcally re-
Jafes, that for years, he and the rest of his compeers
have been oblige-

Then it is that the poor girl's bomb. azette gown,

tl:e damaeed nnp ; and the goodvife's well-hauled
Pil,tlCl, with the indelible stain—not to mention the cin-
cier-burned eyes, the coughs and colds, the consunip-
tions and deaths—all memorials of the railway system,
appear as incontrovertible facts in grave array, against
the shaine•faeed and detected directors.
Let us indulge in what may be considered by those
vibe have tripped it to St. Stephen's, as being too fa-
miliar a narrative fur such a grave subject; but which
tt e Leg to as- are the reader, is a true picture of what
aloes take place.
The Centtreittee breaks up for the day—the pro-
moters of the different Bills retire to their temporary
eteartments to consult—a half hour's quietude ensues;
and then may be seen pursy fat gentlemen throwing
themselv.-s into cabs, or met 'twixt Charing-cross and
Temple-har, puffing, blowing, and sweating, in the midst
-of ade pairing canvass;—there is no white-bait dinner
for them that day. After their fatigues—instead of re-
tiring to indulge in " port and a pleasing security"—they
Innse meet in consultation with wigless counsel, energetic
eneineers, and sanguine solicitors, there to consider
wht ther, through the re-examination of some ply able
witnesses, Mr. Queen's Council Poss'em, or Mr. Sergeant
Wring'enacati tedeem their shattered case.
It is something like a consultation of doctors over a
aiyieg patient, with this diff rence, that the fees are in a
SKr greater degree higher.
Well, then, they meet again next day, and the learned
gml.mnen exhaust their powers of eloquence and per-

made—smelt thrusts sent home. The Committee sit like

avidi his hat agee, reads the fir ding of the Committee as

direct h carried the day. Out rush the latter, not

Swim—To-day there was not much activity in the Bri-
tish Plantation Sugar market, still a good demand existed;
several sales were made for Bristol, and the rates paid were
generally equal to those of Friday for all qualities.
IZEFINED.—To-day the home trade purchased refined goods
with less freedom, and prices are not so firm, brown melting
lumps selling at 638 Gd to 645, brown grocery 655, and sten-
dard lumps 66s to 66s Gd. For bonded Crushed Sugar there
are very few buyers, and 38s to 39s is the value of first quality.
EAST INDl.t.—This afternoon yellow Bengal was in excel-
lent request, and 1,701 bags at auction sold at. steady prices.

Corresponding month of 1844... •..... 11,326055:319636 8502
The In lependenee of Brussels sates the results of the
working of the line during the month of August to be most
satisfactory. The increase in the income is evident; and,
in fact, exceeds all expectation. In August last the increase
and from mercha •
passengers over the corresponding month of 1844 was
from
80,000 f, ; from baggage, 7,000 E •
73,0001. The difference betweenf the produce of,JulB7oolser:

velling.
carriages of the first and second class, we see the distribu-
tion of these travellers amongst the different classes modified
singularly: thus, while in some the proportion of the num-
ber of travellers en diligence to the total number was 11
per cent., it rose in July to 123%, and in August to 143/4 per
cent ; the proportion of the number who took their places
in the chars-h•bancs rose from 244 in June, to 274 in July,
and to 30i in August, and consequently the proportion of
places taken in the carriages of the railway descended to 644
per cent. to 5911, and to 544. It is probable, besides, that
the continuance of the rain induced a portion of the travel-
lers usually going by the railway carriages to go by the
chars-k-bancs, and in sending others from the latter to the
diligence. The traffic of foreign travellers, and the watering
season, caused also an increase in the mean product of each
traveller. For the diligences it was in the months of June,
July, and August, 4f. 30c., 4f. 58c., and 4f. 82c.; for the
chars-k-bancs 2f 35c., 2f. 51c., and 4f. 61c. ; but for the
common carriages the product was lf. 09c., lf. 08c., and
lf. 15c. The general mean product upon all the passengers
rose from lf. 76c. in June to lf. 92c. in July, and to 2f. 13c.
in August. During the first eight months of 1844 the total
income was 7,235,674 f. 35c , and within the same period of
the present year 8,074,001 f. 4c. It is supposed that the re
ceipts, which in the whole of 1844 were 11.230,000 f., will
reach the sum of 12,500,000 f. by the end of this year.
ORLEANS AND JOIGNY.—The Minister of Public Works
has determined that this railway shall immediately be un-
dertaken, and that, for greater dispatch, the operations shall
be divided into two stations, one at the river Loing and the
other between the Loing and Joigny.
HAVRE, DIEPPE, AND FECAMP.—Mr. Newman, principal
engineer of the Havre-road, is (says the Journal des Che-
