Mr. Hos& the secreary of the Railway Rifle Corp, ar-
mors a wish that the sesployie of several railway amps-

an lorries should be roomplishol, the possession of a
radwayend tte terminus would be of Arnt1301•11 advantage to

then, I trek that every reasonable encouragement ought to
be given by the directors and by the shareholders of the
Great Northern Radler Company to the aßose and awn in
that minks to saleater to form part of a rifle carpi; but as
I doubt ',baba, their number would be enfitchmt to form a

be Meowed urn the leading men of, at Ira, four or five
railway companies, wane termini ere on the north side of
