DELIYS ON TIIE GREAT WESTERN.—Sir: I shall
esteem It a favour If you will direct public attention to the meessity. '
of same reform on the "Great Western Railway." In their bills
they advertise the arrival of the last Exeter train m London at half-
past ten o'clock ; last night It did not retch the Pada:neon station
until midnight. You may suppose the anxiety of time relatives
and Mende who were waiting for this train, naturally increased by
the remembrance of the late frightful accident ; but no sort of inkw-
nation could he obtained from any of the offleiala ; and when the train
did at last arrive, the passengers could only say that the latter part of
the journey was performed at waggon. pare. Now if the state of the
rails, or any other cause, should require such e.lutiou on this line, it
will much tend to allay anxiety if the directors would mum a notice
to that effect to be placed at the terminus. In our alarm, we natu-
rally inquired if the electric telegraph could be made useful to allay
our apprehensions, but this was reported to be out of order, and if
working, only extended an far as Slough. Surely some reform is
necessary. A great monopoly has driven the public to the railroad, and
they have a right to expect all the protection that ean be afforded. I
have been a traveller for the last Harty year:, and have frequently
tome up from Exeter by the old stage-coach, but I never remember
being thirty minutes behind time ; while on this great line, plying
ten per cent. to its proprietors, an hour and a half is lost, and no
information can be obtained as to the came. If the Government do
not interfere in these matters, we shall be going from bad to worse in
very quick time.—Your obedient servant,'".....,.. ',MGR. N.
