(From the Railway Record.)

s 1 ,another part of our paper will be found the mr-
1. color, to which we alluded last week, from a Committee of
the Proprietors of the Edinburgh and Glaseow Railway formed
at MancLester,and a sketch of the proceedings of a meeting at
Liverpool, to OppbSeimenf the most ruinous projects ever at-

suvenn cana:s into partnership with the Railway Com-
pany. One a? these Canal Companies, according to their own
evidence, was in a state of •

_
cu ty years netore the railway was constructed; and
:during. the entiwe twenty years, when there was no railway to
.compete with, this splendid project never paid Is. dividend to
the original proprietors ! ow much less can profit be ex-
pected now? with a railway running by its side from end to
end, .and with fares reduced (which they would have been by
the Amalgamation Bill) more than 50 per cent., though the
high tolls allowed tp be charged by the old Bill gave no profit
whatever 1 So much for the prospects of this partnership with
the Canal. Well ! but is there not something better
map this? The next bargain surely will be more equitable!
Another Bill proposed to amalgamate the Forth and Clyde
Navigation :with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The
dividend paid by the Forth and Clyde Company was 4 per cent.
per annum ; .but it is proved by their own witness that this 4
per cent. was by no means earned by the canal. The witness
says, " if competition had beep carried on, the dividend being
swept away, they would not have had sufficient funds to carry
on the work." At any rate, the days of competition at ruin-
ously loyv fares weretirThw;,,—
