RAILWAY Mermon.--The directors of the London
and Soutb•Weriern Railway Company, through their
monitery. Mr. Clerk°, have published another letter to
Mr. Waring, in which they plead not guilty to that
gentleman's charges lot double dealing, and give further
explanations of the 'Cepa they have taken. They sow
announce their intention to proceed to emotraet by tender
for the oonottnetiou of their own line, and as • gentle-
men hair taken up his residence amongst us to
superintend proceedings having the iinuamiiitte construc-
tion • f the line in view, we do not see well how any
other conclusion can be formed Wan that the few milea
of railway from Canford to the upper end of the town
will be formed this autumn. But what the :teeth.
Western Company will do with it after its construction
remains to be seen. Without the Bournemouth line,
which witA to have been dovetailed into it, the extension
will be of little use beyond shortening the distance to
Winiberne ant other towns up the line, and saving the
bridgintoll to Ham worthy.
A RAILWAY PROPHIECT. month'. Poole Pilot
says that any railway, to do the town of Poole any
good, ought to have been promoted independently of the
South- Western. Such wse premised to the town when
the Somenret and Dorset line was in formation, and the
promises were adhered to long after those making them
became parties to • surrender. The same abandonment
of pledges has followed in the case of the Poole and
Roureemouth Railway. Again and again have the
committees in Poole and Bournemouth been stultified
by those wbooe duty it was to strengthen their hand.
and to preserve the iodependeoni of the district. And
row "the laid string to oor bow" fails us, We know
the weakness of our position, the hopelessness of its irn•
provement, the nature of the stale fallacies with which
we have been so long befooled, and we now, with the
Wog days drifting inactively away, settle ourselves
down into the °deviation, which the Poole Puce has
always held, that the fine will serer be mode.

DirtAUDING TIADILK IN.-00 Thursday the borough
magistrates had to deal with two eases, in which trades-
men of the town had lost goods through dishonest
representation. Mr. Hawkee, shoemaker, was induced
to supply • pair of boots to some etrangera stopping at
the Globe Inn, but the evidence being inconcluoive. the
prisoner was discharged. In the second case Hoary
Saunders, a working carpenter of the town, was charged
with obtaining a carpenter's plough, worth 2:14., from
Mr. Farmer, ironmonger, loader false pretences. The
prisoixerlperobaaed the article on the 6th of April,
alleging that he had been sent to obtain it by Mr. P.
Tusk, of Ringwood. The invoice lammed. out to If,,
Tuck, who subsequently disclaimed all knowledge of the
transaction. On Thursday, at the petty sessions, the
prisoner was againbrought up, when Mr. Tuck attended,
and gave evident* that he had never commissioned him
to bey • plough for him at the shop of Mr. Farmer,
whereon Saunders was fully committed to take his trial
at the next quarter sessions.
