fjM> receipt* of a railway had not beou ef OoeUaaoaa

Jbsttaotod by oompetstiua M new line*.
Xhe wear aud tear wo* great, 20,000 tuns of inn

pi100,000trees could be grown on int.. lesstkaa
5 ooo botch of forc?t land. Tin- Proeideat oooutdesed
pi pome b i.gtb bow th? sc annual depreciation* should
be met. The principle of a renewal fund wa-. ,) .. .
(iooable. After a certain period in tho history of
rrery railway deterioration reached nn auuual aver
age, and an that annual depreciation became a charge
fixed and certain a- the cost of fuel or tb? salaries
of officer*, it should bo admitted a* an auuual charge
again*t receipt*.
A* regarded fare*, the interent? of thecompanieaand
of the pubbc were identical; companies must regulate
- iarta by couaidvration of the circumstance* whien pro?
faned the largest revenue, and the circuiustanOi I
ahich produced the largest revenue were those which
adufed the greatest uumlior of individual t" travel.
{Nothing was so profitable as pasneuger traffic, as it
ro*t lite in every way thau good*, and an average
{rain would carry 2oo passengers. J'tiu cost of ruuning
a tram was overstated at Is. 3d. per mile, and 1 11
?.asaeugcra at ?d. per iniic produced St. Sjd. Hut
But Uii* argument did not haply that iu all cases
far<? should be fixed at a minimum. Minimum fare,
were most profitable ou abort routes; but the publio
wer* too much occupied to be tempt, d by minimum
fare* to undertake long journeys. High rates of speed
sad taorueoed ooaaaarts am thee required, tad toons
pught be charged for. Every case, therefore, should
be treated in consideration oi its local elraemsiaaoes,
The pordal facilities afforded by railways were very
great, lint for their exiat.noe Mr. " Kowland Hill's '
never could havo been effectually carried out.
Iwa>a afford.-l the mean* of carryingbalk, whxoh
would have been fatal to the old mail ooacho*. Every
Friday night, at present, when tue weekiy papers
were transmitted, eight or ten van- were u..w required
, for Poot-otnoe bags on the Nortb-Weotora Kan way,
? arid this tis?' of . ight or t- n raus implied, ut the least,
the employment of fourteen or fifteen mail OoechoSj
eudthe exp< uses of fourteen or fifteen mail COSChoS to
xJixmingham could never have been sustuiiieil bl I
penny postage. For this gr.-at bltisolag, therefore, the
nation had to thank the railways. They were tho great
engines for tbe diffusion of knowledge. Government
ustqtooald ban oeiried Tkt Timr?, of its preoeat
nie, on the same terms, by th?-old mail coach. Tne
parliann ntary blue-books never would have been
printed; for, except by canal or by wagon, they could
not have boon distributed, and if they could not have
been circulated they would have In on HBflloss Never?
theless, the Pootofflce did not uppear to treat railways
with all the oonsideration they were Tltitlrd to expeot,
(treat SQCVicos were required, and, In return, it had
been contended that no pi .fit should bo allowed to the
railway companies, except as carriers aud woike.r* of
ibi line. Kailway POSH panics were, therefore, bo differ
ict to postal trnmc; which was -hown to be a serious
disadvantage to the public. At proeeat the Po-d-oftke
competed with railways as carriers of book parcels, a
principle which might be extended still further, but not
r, without injustioe and hardship to the railways.
Parliamcntaiy legislation for railways wai full of in
rongiuitii* and absurdities, wbk k were graphically
described and illustrated. Ihu acts of Parliament
which railways bad been forced to obtain hod cost the
public JClt.OOO.ooo sterling. Hut tins was showu to
be the exclusive fault of Parliament itself, and of the
system it enforced, aba legislation of Parliament had
made railways pay seventy millions of money to Laad*
owners for land and property, yet almost every estate
traversed by a railway hud been greatly improved in
value. Parliament had taxed the Companies in favor
of the landowners, for what waeOeBoC " deverance."
Cleime for conqx'iisatioii for "eereraaee" were based
on theories which were wholly ideal and imaginary.
No ono bad ever beea able to show a neeetanal lorn
by " aeverancc," aud tbe claim was often mado as
" customary " where it was even admitted that no
ground for it existed. The remedy which suggested
itself for this state of thiug* wts one which Parlia?
ment wbh not likely to grant. A oompetent tribunal
was wanted, and Parliament was incompetent.
Neither Its practical experience, its time, nor its
system was adapted for railway legislation. If a
mixed commis-iiou could be organised, to consist of
practical men of acknowledge! legal, eoumieroial,
snd mechanical ability, thi re might be some chance
of railway h'i?itio*e being efliciouUy conducted, but
it wo* admitted that there was little hope of any such
conosasion.
Kailway management wan next OOBsiderod, and
shown to be completely anomalous. fferhamont had
legislated for rail ways as toll-takiug companies; but
every direction was obliged to embark tu enterprises
foreign to the Parliamentary objects of the railway it?
self. This produoed serious dilemmas. As long as
dividends wero kept up the directors were popular,
bowevtr Ulcgal their act*; but the moment dividends
fell, the directors, however energetic, wi-oi or pru?
dent, were visit, d by the shareholder* and the public
with all the penalties of having exceeded the letter of
the law. Men whose reputation* wero at atake were
wnyii). p..willing t.> incur tno risk of bweouiing
? .liway dire et or*; and the most eulightened managers
aud shareholders were revolving in their own minds
bow the liileinma could be escaped. It was ?aggeoted
that advantage might be taken ol the Limited Liability
act, or of aOSOe uua ugoua measure, to enable a limited
number of men of business to take lines of railway
trout shareholders on leases, subji ct to certain condi?
tions and tei nv. A few of th. looooeo would then ooa
rutute IheSBOehres managers, and being free fromap?
prehension* on aooOBBl of abarebeidof*, of external in?
terference, or ol personal liabilities, they would be able
fully to work the liue aud enter into those enterprises
aeteasary for tu dev. lopment and esseutial to i . pros
perity. A large profit would accrue to thoso wno took
tbe fine, ond managed it with vigor aud economy;
shde shareholders would derive grout advantages from
the certainty of receiving flxed dividends, aud fro;n the
enhancement of the value of their pioptrty, aud prac?
tical security would he afforded to the public, while
their bist int't rests would bo consulted.
The electric telegraph?that odhrpriag and indispens
sble oompauion of railways?was next considered.
<,SO0mil. not tel. graph, oi MC.OOO miles of wires, were
laid down at least. 3,0i)0 people were ooutinually
empkiyed, end more thau 1,000,000 public messages
Wire annually flashed along this "silent highway."
To the working of railways the telegraph had In come
e**ential. The ni edle was capable of ludicating at
every station whether the line was dear, or blocke I
or if accident hud nuvwhere 000erred. lae telegraph
foulil, therefore, do the work of additional rails by
imparting instantaneous information to the officers,
end enab ii g them to augment the traffio over those
ts.rtiona of the line to who h their duty might apply.
It aho enabb d large savings to be effected iu rolling
stock, by affording the rneam? of supplying such stock
to any atatiou at wbioh it was eoedetl from some other
station where it had accumulated and was not wauted.
The mode in which thi- system was woke.I w< de?
scribed, end its simplicity wo* commended. As a
perix-tuitl current v* a* passing through tbe wires, ttin
guard or engrne-dnv. r had only to break the train
wire in cox. of accident, and the officer* at the nearest
station were instantaneously apprised that something
wa* wrong and that assi-taucc wo* ucoded. Some
stetisaaai were given to sho* that the business of the
Blootrie T. legiuph (,'ompany had increased ufiyfold in
seven years.
Kailway accidents occurred to passengers in the first
half of lt04 iu the proportion of one accident to every
7,195,343 travelers. Ladies and gentlemen could
scarcely " sit at home ut cum " with the impunity with
which it Bpjieatod that they <vul 1 travel by railway.
How frequent, comparatively, were the ac ident* iu
the street; bow f.uiful the misadventure* to thoje
''whogo down to the sea in ships." Yet Parliament
had seen fit to legislate expressly fot accidents by
railway, without logioletissi la the same way for uo
?jdoats from other sort* of locomotion. This wa* un
lair to railways, and ili-calcu!iitod to afford proteOtloa
to the public where it w.u iuo?t needed. Lord Cemp
bell's Ali, also, measured men s bras by a class staud
aht The family of a high p blic functionary won d I
ft large oompenaatiou, while tho family of lae poor
"/wiing man weald get nothing. Tue practical ten
??ucy of this law was to retard the adoption of low
Isaa Kai'way managet- were compiled to coneider
a?t only what they might gain, but what ihey adgbt

in Africa: A considerable sensation was created on
the eth at Algiers, by tbe arrival there of a depotatioa
of four Aral belonging to a tribe inhabiting the
Great Dessit and known under the name of To sarega
Since the conque-t of the countty bordering on the
Qrsat Sahara has be? ? fleeted by tbe French troops,
it he- become a matter of int? not to the French Gov
eminentto fax abbat n friendly luteicoeist with the
tribes inhabiting the Desert itself?a space measuring
upward of four hundred kageet from north to south-?
that is, from Ourgia, the lo--t oasis occupied by the
French, to Tbtnbeetoe. The tribe above ineutioued is
divided into eight different branches: the Aigner, bor?
dering on the Regency of Tunis, tho iloggar, inhabit?
ing the mountainous rftltgSof that name; the Ahir,
living south of B't; the Ennebijjb, or Leinden, in the
vicin.ty of Tim bin-too, and the K.-loel, the Boodal, the.
Kclguens, and tbe Itisea tribes, ocenrfy the couotry
between the block population of the ?oodon aud the
for whiter race inhabiting the north of Africa. Tne
Tooareg-arc vi ry nearly white. They inhabit tent*
made of tanned hides, und live chiefly on the orodu.-tJ
of th?- cha?e, th.ir cameb, and a kiud of bWoetsst
sheep called dimman, of which they j,.
immense flocks. In tho south they cultivate rioe
and maize; those of the north have but lately
turned their attention to agriculture. The men
wear two lartre gowns, a white and a blu.\ of Koo lau
manufacture a kind of wooleu or silk caftan reaching
to the ground, and wide trousorv, closing at the aukh
with u gaudy trimming all round. liny wear no
stock in o'-1, hut red bather sandals, of g'nxf tvorkmau
rhip. On their heads they wear a red skullcap, oov
ered by a kind of turlmn, fiom which a blue veil de?
scends to os far us their mouths, while a kind of cra?
vat, beginning from tho occiput, covers the lower part
of their faces, thus quite hidden from view, while their
women, on the contrary, wear no kiud of veil, and eu
loy the greatest liberty. Their weapon* cousi-t of a
"long poniard, called dcrnia, and a double-edgednabre;
a lance, a musket, autl a aiiield made out of ancle
phot t's ear. Tbe deputation above mentioned was
received in the most friendly manner by tbe Goveruot ?
Gtneralof Algiers, their own behavior being respect?
ful and digniti. d in the extreme. " You poatee*,'' said
