1865. Il may also be observed that evel cross
ngs entail q considerable permanent expense on a
railway company, from the necessity Of maintaining
signals, lodges, gates and gatekeepers. 1t was. how
ever, impossible To frame any rules by which the
inspecting officers could be exclusively guided in
making their reports, as each case involved many
special circumstances; but they endeavored az far
as possible 10 adhere to the following general prln
ciples, wiz
/. That in all cases where the engineering dAhoulties
would be slight that the expense OF erecting bridge
providing and the capitalization of the annual cost Of main
tanning signals lodges gates and gatekeepers the level
crossing should not be recommended unless the erection
Of bridge would from the general nature OF the district
stnsibly interfere with the local traffic.
2 That in Of unimportant roads, whore the on
cheering difficulties and expenses entaiied by bridge
would be considerable. the level crossing should be
commended.
g. That in the case of important roads and streets,
where the traffic large the level crossing should not
be recommended, unless the construction of bridge in
yolved very special difficulties.
The number of level crossings proposed by the
bills which became acts amounted TO 237, and OF
these l02 level crossings were authorized.
In a few cases OF th0r0ughfares, along which q
large Number Of foot passengers passed, but where
the traffic Of vehicles, de-, small the level
ing was retained for vehicles bridge being erected
The cases in which powers have been conferred
upon your lordshps by the special acts of last

these powers are conferred will be found In the APP

DEVELOPMENT OF RAILWAY COMMUNICATIONS.
The total length of line authorized by Parliament
down to the end of 1856 amounted to IA ,346 miles;
but of this 485 miles have been abandoned by sub
sequent acts or by warrant under the authority OF
the commissioners Of railways, and consequently
there remain 1881 miles for which the parliament
airy powers which were obtained have not been re.
pealed Oftbese ESQ miles were open at the END
OF 1855; and 4,57l miles which have received the
authority of Parliament remain to be opened.
This length Of line il distributed throughout the
United Kingdom as follows

These agreements are generally framed in such 4
manner as to render the direct interest of the com
pany working the line TO develop the traffic.
There 10 another class Of agreements between rail.
way companies which do not come before the legis-
latule, and which have been devised with view 10
produce the same effect as amalgamaton, in pre-
venting competition between railway companies.
Under this class Of agreements the railway COM
panies, parties to them, divide in fixed proportions
the receipts from the traffic between certain specified
places, after deductn sum for working expenses;
and since each railway company that is party to
the agreement derives its share of the receipts
although another company may have done the work
his arrangement possesses the evils of monopoly
without furnishing to the rail way companies that
stimulus to continued exeron In developing the traf
fic which exists in the case OF companies working
the traffic on their account, and the absence Of
which is in the end injurious both TO the public and
to the propriet0rs Some agreements OF this nature
have contained clause binding one of the parties
TO discourage traffic brought by an independent rail-
way which might compete with the traffic Of one Of
the other parties to the agreement.
An important agreement of this class recently
entered into Is one between the London and North
western, the Lancaster and Carlisle the Caledonian
the Mdlal d. the Great Northern, the Northeastern,
and the North British Railway Companies, by which
the receipts from all traffic between London and GER
lam towns IN England and Edinburg, Glasgow, and
otner dstr1cts in Scotland to the north of those
towns are paid into one fund, and divided Uncertain
fixed proportions.
Your L0rdships have been called upon TO approve
bylaws for the following railway companies during
the year 1855. Wiz Ballymena, BaDymoney, Cole.
raine. and Pcrtrush; Bedale and Ley6urn; Glasgow
and Southwestern; Great Western and Oxford.
Worcester, ard Wolverhampton, joint station at
Northampton; Irish Southeastern; Lancashire
and Yorkshire; Lancashire and Yorkshire and
East Lancashire, joint line aud stations; London
and Southwestern; Monkland; PEBBLES; Scottish
Midland Junction; Thames Haven. Those cases in
which departure from the usual form has been
sanctioned will be found in Appendix No. 2.
The length of new line reported TO be in of
construction on the 30th of June 1855. was $50
miles; OF these about l70 miles were opened before
the 3lst of December, 1856.
The number Of persons employed on the 3Oth Of
June upon the railways in course Of construction
amounted to 3s,546, being on the average 43.s per
mile.
With the view Of sffording some measure Of the
comparative progress Of railway enterprise the fol-
lowing table has been prepared, showing the num-
Der OF miles Of railway in of construction in
each year since ls4s. and the number OF persons en-
pioyed thereon, together with the amount OF money
received and the number Of miles Of railway open
ed during the year.
