THE LAST CHARGES

AGAINST THE

GOVERNMENT.

REVIVAL OF

CONVOCATION

THE veracity of The Times has become almos.

proverbial. The correctness of the statements with

respect to the movements of any political patty to
which it may happen at the moment to be opposed
are especially deemed worthy of implicit confidence.
One of the last items in this category consists in
the announcement that Lord DERBY and his col-
leagues are about to advise her MAJESTY to call
together THE HOUSES OF CONVOCATION for the
general dispatch of business. This authentic in-
formation could create no surprise among those
who are conversant with The Times, and with the
opinions of Her MAJESTY'S Government, for it is
about the most improbable story that could he told.
It will not be doubted that, if Convocation were
now to be assembled for the exercise of ALL the
powers which it claims, the views of the great body
of the Church, especially of the laity, would be by
no means adequately represented.

- .
key ~s 'FRAUD SUMMONSES.
•fie°`s of these cases on the list, and three in-

We cannot believe that Lord DERBY would lend
himself to so unpopular a measure; but the im-
probability of such a circumstance is too manifest to
admit of any one being honestly misled on the sub-
ject. Indeed The Times itself did not dare persist
long in treating its own announcement as precisely
correct ; hut, shifting its ground, it presently
adopted the statement of a contemporary, to the
effect that the royal license, which is necessary in
order to enable the Convocation to enter upon
business, would be confined to measures for the
self-reform of the body. What fresh suggestions
the leading journal may make on this subject before
the meeting of Parliament, we can hardly guess;
but we do not anticipate that its Protean exertions,
though combined with the most imperturbable
effrontery, will succeed in depriving Lord DERBY
of the sympathy of the sternest Protestant. Lord
DERBY'S career hitherto has been a sufficient gua-
rantee of his attachment to the Protestant cause;
and when CONVOCATION does meet, if it should
appear that the royal license has empowered it to
decide upon matters the result of which might be
noxious to the welfare of the Church, the Govern-
ment will have to answer for it to the Protrtant
community. But till that time comes, no one will
seriously expect to find Lord DERBY in so false a
position.

or domestic, payments were customarily made in
gold, we should then have to take into the calcula-
tion the large additional amount which the more
plentiful supply of gold would cause to be consumed
for purposes of use and ornament. But it is well
known that as a circulating medium gold enters
much less than formerly into the ordinary transac-
tions of business. By the modern system of bank-
ing, and the facilities given for the interchange of
cheques and bills, ours is substantially a paper
currency, gold constituting merely the small change
of business, or the compellable deposit as a security
for the issue of notes. There are few of even the
tradesmen of the present day who do not keep
banking accounts through which they make their
payments ; and the little use of gold is still further
shewn in the system of what is called the Clearing-

house, or the mutual interchange of cheques put..
sued by the London hankers. To so great an ex-
tent is this carried, that it was shewn that in one
year, out of a hundred millions which changed
hands through the London Clearing-house, not two
million was paid in money, and of this the greater
part was in Bank of England notes. Taking,
therefore, these facts into consideration, it is possi-
ble to over-estimate the effect of the large importa-
tions of gold upon general prices, and we believe it
will be found to be the case long after the supply
will be supposed to have exceeded the demand. We
must not, however, leave out of view the stimulus
to speculation, owing to the facilities for making
advances by banks of issue, arising from their better
command of specie. Speculation has always tended
to enhance prices, irrespective of the amount of
gold available for circulation; but the latter cir-

It is very clear that The Times, like all other op-
ponents of the Government, is sorely puzzled for
topics of attack. Foreseeing that Lord DERBY
and his colleagues, instead of boasting and vapour-
ing, and making large promises to the People, will
commence the business of the new Parliament with
candour and modesty, and, from deference to pub-
lic opinion, will forbear from forcing on the Legis-

lature the propriety of reviewing our commercial
policy, The Times uses the following language :

" Candour and humility, artless ingenuousness
and modest good sense, are all good things in their
way, and will be displayed in perfection by the
whole administrative corps ; but these qualities
only tell on the moral sense ; and a moral appeal
will no more carry the House of Commons than a
pathetic excuse for failure will appease a multitude
assembled to see a man walk across a ceiling or into
a quart bottle."

We cannot help being struck with the extreme
fitness of The Times to be the exponent of a body
which scorns qualities " which only tell on the moral
sense ;" but we cannot admit the accusation to be
applicable to the House of Commons generally.
With certain classes of Liberals, indeed, whom The

Times has at present under its protection,

" can-

g, 14, Buley-street, Kirkdale, carver and

dour and humility, artless ingenuousness, and mo-
dest good sense," are of very little estimation.
Folks of this stamp, wishing to gain or to keep
office, would never hesitate to undertake things
quite as difficult as walking across a ceiling or into
a quart bottle, and would never dream of the ne-
cessity for offering any excuse for their failure.
Lord DERBY and his Government, however, will
not undertake such difficult performances ; but
they will do all they promise to do, and all that is
necessary for the welfare of the country; and they
will not require to make " pathetic" or any kind of

cumstance, as a primary cause, may operate in a
more powerful degree, and in this respect produce
a rise not otherwise attributable to the mere fact of
the excessive supply of the circulating medium.
The correctness of this view of the case is borne
out by recent circumstances, for long after the re-
turns of the large stock of bullion in the Bank of
England no sensible effect was experienced, until
the accession of the present Administration operated
to restore that confidence in public affairs which is
necessary to induce speculation. Indeed, it is one
of the good results of Conservative government
that redundant capital is made available for the
employment of labour and the promotion of com-
merce ; and if there was no other reason, many
would consider this a sufficient one why all classes
should support the administration of the Earl of
DERBY.

FHE CAUSES OF RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS naturally excite the cu•
riosity and fears of all classes and individuals of
the community. Every man is a traveller nowa-
days ; and every one, more or less, frequently in the
course of the twelve months runs the risk of suf-
fering from those sad catastrophes which it is so
often our painful duty to chronicle. Every one,
therefore, feels a sort of personal interest in every
Railway accident which occurs, and claims the right
of investigating into its origin.
The public naturally desires, and authoritatively
demands, from the managers of those great high-
ways, that they should exercise such vigilance and
skill as to reduce danger of travelling on them to a
minimum. The frequent occurrence of accidents
must, of course, beget especial jealousy in the
public mind, and ought to excite corresponding in-
crease of diligence in the responsible parties.
A series of melancholy events which have re-
cently taken place, has brought this subject very
prominently under the attention of the public; and
the Press has been lending its assistance towards a
thorough investigation of the matter. In some
quarters there exists a strong prejudice against the
Directors of Railway Companies, which we do not
believe to be in all cases justified. In order to as-
certain how far the public has a right to complain,
a careful examination of the number and origin of
Railway Accidents is evidently most desirable. A
paper on this subject has been lately read to the
Institution of Civil Engineers by Captain MARK
HUISII ; and, without forgetting that this gentle-
man is connected with the administration of the
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY, we
cannot but deem this document to he a most
valuable one. It ought to be a source of satisfac-
tion to the public, and it should decrease the odium
which is rather indiscriminately heaped upon Rail-
way Directors—to know that the proportion of
travellers injured by Railway accidents, is not at all
comparable to that of the sufferers from Coach
accidents in former times; and that in truth, more
people, in all probability, are injured by horse-con-
veyance even now, than by conveyance on Rail-
ways. Such facts as that, out of nearly eight
millions of persons who travelled on the London
and North-western during the year 1851, only one
was killed, tend, in some measure, to allay public
But let us see, from Captrin Huisx's
paper, what are the chief sources of accident, and
to whom the blame is generally attributable :—lt
appears in the first place, that now-a-days, when
the increased weight and velocity of trains require
a firmer and better road, and better rails than
formerly, the quality of the rails supplied has
actually been deteriorated. For such a source of
mischief the Managers of the Railway are clearly
responsible to the public ; and it is therefore for-
tunate for them that remarkably few accidents, as
we are informed by Captain HuisH, have arisen on
this account. We were startled on finding that
wilful and malicious obstruction of the line is a
matter of constant occurrence. " It is little known,"
we are told, " how injurious and various these
attempts are," and we ought therefore to feel
grateful to the Companies for the vigilance which
has prevented them from often becoming the cause
of accident. In the next place, the development of
traffic has necessitated the construction of much
siding accommodation, and the consequent multi-
plication of points, which, of course, increase the
demand for constant care, and a perfect signal
system. Apropos of " self-acting switches," one of
the enumerated sources of danger, a very re-
markable observation is contained in the paper.
We are told it may be taken as a general rule,
" that so far from machinery being a means of safety
(when used for superseding personal inspection and
manipulation), it is usually a source of increased
danger." Imperfections in Carriages are very
seldom the cause of accident, and heating of the
axle is likely to be entirely obviated by the intro-
duction of the patent axle-box. Merchandise wag-
gons, it appears, are too rudely and imperfectly
constructed at present; and that the paucity of mis-
adventures from that cause is a subject of surprise.
But the injury to life and property, caused by the
condition of the road and the machinery upon it, is
not, we learn, one tithe of that which results from
inattention to signals, and neglect of regulations.
This is the fertile source of the catastrophes of

to give the most unqualified contradiction, for the
second time, to an assertion, which has been pub-
lished by The Times, that it is the intention of Her
MAJESTY'S Ministers to sanction the revival of
the active powers of Convocation. There is not,
and never has been, the slightest foundation for
such a rumour. Her MAJESTY'S Government

THE DUTY

ON TEA

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

THE following are patent reasons n•hy the present extra-
vagant rates of duty on tea should he reduced :
Because they average from 200 to 300 per cent. on the

value of all tea imported ; whilst on all other necessaries
of life duties are either totally abolished or greatly dimi-
nished, for instance, corn, coffee, rice, sugar, &c.
A reduction in the duty would eventually lower the cost
to the consumer, which would be gladly hailed by thou.
sands, nay millions, of the middle and humbler classes,
the tendency of which could not fail from producing a
moral effect.

Our trade with China would be greatly extended ; our
exports of manufactures being now necessarily cramped
and confined to our power of consumption of tea, they
having comparatively little of any other article to give us
in return, with the exception of raw silk.
Have we not also a duty to perform towards the
Chinese ? Do they not admit our manufactures at a
nominal duty of 5 to 15 per cent., whilst we tax their
exports 200 to 300 percent.
There are several other good reasons why the Govern-
ment should reduce the present high rate of duty on tea,

(2s. 21d. per lb. ;) and the Chancellor of the Exchequer
should not suppose that, because the public are passive,
they are either lukewarm or indifferent on the subject, the
fact being that they have confidence in the present Govern-
ment, and look forward to something being done. The
only argument against a reduction could be the old but
worn-out cry of jeopardising the revenue, but a marked
reduction of Is. per lb. would very soon be made up by
increased consumption. Perhaps there is no article which
would be more generally and generously used if to be had
at a moderate figure, than that of tea, and none which
could have so beneficial effect in a moral point of view.
We may add, that if the China trade were fully
developed, it would very soon require 100 more new
clipper ships to carry it on, which, with the sxtra
seamen they would require, is worthy the attention of the
Government.
