is needed is proved inore strongly than ever by the
correspondence now circulated. For instance: each
of the antagonistic parties seems to have attached
much importance to the opinion of MT. RICHARD
ATKINSON, one of the company's auditors. The
directors evinced a great desire to withhold
from publicity a letter received from this
gentleman, and up to this hour a certain
portion of the communicatiow in question is
kept back. But the portion already published
gives ample countenance to the reform party, inas-
much as the writer states that, in his opinion,
"mock more extensive changes arc requisite than
the infusion of a littlo new blood." Writing to the
chairman, he remarks "My opinion is, that a con-
siderable reduction of the board is advisable; that
it should consist of sound, practical men of business ;
and that, above all, they should be well paid, and
. .

their services at all time; commanded. I know such
men are difficult to get, but money will obtain them,
as it will obtain almost everything else."
The hackneyed threat of resignation will, we hope,
fail to deter the more vigilant of the proprietors from
supporting the Committee, in opposition to the ex-
isting Board. The ellbrts of the latter to secure

proxies are additional proof that they revolt at legi-
timate Interforenee, and desire to perpetuate a sys-
tem which leaves the Company with little profit and
leer repute. Nothing but the notorious dial edit of
this important Company, end t►e amaliestly ruinous
results of the policy hitherto persisted fn, have in-
deed r to stogie it eat he special ecesent, and
to uodertake the thsakkes cuss of endeavouring to
armee the sherelisiden to active interference.
Railway reporb sad, railway accounts have for
years been regarded se, to a greater or
less extent, popular delusions. The matur-
ing statements pet forth year after year under
the 11111110010 of Mr. gammas, in the face of
the Company's powri assay and increasing expen-
dable, furnish overwhelming proof that, however
greet les his talent, he is very far from infallible,
and meal limed the angbel which he is known to
eleallille sear everytbhei and everybody connected
with the Great Western Company. The height of
diplemmey is to rule everybody without letting dr
yohe be felt. From the late Mr. Roseau downs

The parliamentary powers of raising money en de-
bentuses are drawing to a close. Any farther eapital
that may require to be raised most thsrehre, it
would appear, assume the shape of additional pre-
ference stock, to the injury of the algid slosh-
holder. The Committee state—and the mare ef the
proprietors mast go with them—that "the led.

The Pap says :—" Private letters from the Black

had left that city for Ismail, where they arrived in
the evening of the 17th. They were to set out
immediately for Upper Yalpuck, where Staff-Lieut.-
Colonel Beeson, the French commissioner, was
tracing out the new district of Komrst."
