GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND RAILWAY.—WO now
understand that it has been definitely determined to pro-
ceed with the construction of this lino of railway, exe-
cuting in the first place the portion of the works betwixt
Aberdeen and Huntly, The surveyors aro engaged
staking off the line, and the contractors have received
orders to commence the works immediately between
Port-Elphinstone and Huntly. By the operations being
confined in the first instance to this part of the line, the
Aberdeenshire Canal will be allowed to remain open for
the convenience of the public until absolutely required
for the purpose of the railway ; and arrangements are
in course of being made for the completion of the line
between Port-Elphinstone and Aberdeen, after which it
will be gradually extended northwards from Huntly.—

WAS PENN EVER A SLAVEHOLDER ?—Did WCO.
Penn ever make use of negro slaves? As this question is
put, I should think he did ; and for my authority in thus
believing would refer Mr. Croosfield to Hepworth Dixon's
recent " Life of Penn," published in London in 1851, p.
389 :—" Many years after this he (Penn) spoke of slavery as
a matter of course, and though he refrained from the actual
purchase of negroes, so as in strict fact never to become a
slaveowner, yet he constantly hired them from their masters,
and they formed a regular part of the establishment at
Pennsbury." William Penn was, therefore, a slaveholder, if
not a slaveowner. Many planters in America are similarly
situated at the present day ; they hire slaves to cultivate
their land, but do not own them. Mr. Bancroft would appear
to be correst.—From Notes and Queries.
