THE GREAT NORTHERN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
member of that body to whose fortunes
and misfortunes you lever vouchsafe a lively interest
feels confident that a few particulars of mismanage-
ment upon this railway, observed in one day, will not
be without its recommendations to you.
On Saturday, the 20th inst., I left Wakefield for
Pontefract Corn Market, by the quarter past nine
o'clock train (this is not, I suppose, the " Great Nor-
thern," but, 1 believe, under the same management).
We had not proceeded above two or three miles before
our engine was utterly exhausted, and but for the
fortuitous arrival of a luggage, or coal train, engine
at the minor station we had reached, the business of
Pontefract would have been long over, ere myself
and others could have participated. The circumstance,
however, was only a novelty to strangers, none to in-
dividuals attending the market. At Doncaster you
have to re- book, at the risk, amidst the confusion, of
losing your seat and your luggage. At 13awtry,
arrived in the dusk, not a lamp lit or signal out till
the last moment, sheep trucks upon the main line, and
some shrewd doubts by the inefficient officials whether
there " might not " be some stray sheep down the
line ! At Retford, luggage turned out that had been
put in for Gainsbro', and the blunder discovered by
the merest accident. At Gainsbro,' a staff of the most
impertinent officials i❑ the kingdom, and a practice
such only as so dangerous a monopoly, unwatched, as
railway could attempt, namely, charging half price for
twice the distance travelled ; thus, to Hull, 4s. 7kd ,
second class, but to Hull and back, 2s. 6d. only ; this
for the shameless and nefarious (so stated on the spot)
purpose of annihilating the honest calling of the
packet boat between the points referred to.
This arrangement, so beneath an honest association
of men, is unknown but locally, so that a stranger,
for want of information, sees, without comprehending
it, one man paying half the money of another for
travelling twice the distance !
What I would especially insist upon in such a case
is, that if a company can afford, for an unworthy
purpose, to halve their fire for double the distance be-
low the stipulated price, that a law should step in to
prevent such a perversion of common sense and com-
mon honesty, by compelling the company to charge
their own reduction upon both the double and single
ticket.

Your keen sense of justice, and protection to the
public, will, I am sure, appreciate these remarks or,
Sir, your most obedient servant,

dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from
fiamburgh the price of gold is 438 per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10i-J. per ounce for

New York on London fur bills at 60 days' sight is 1101-
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23 40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour Of Eng-
land. And, after making allowance for difference of
interest and charges of transport, the present rate will
leave a trifling profit on receiving gold from the United
States.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF ALDBOROITGEL—We
have to announce the demise of the Earl of Aldborougb,
intelligence of whose decease at Leghorn has been re-
ceived by his friends in this country. The Earl, who

on Monday fortnight. The deceased, Mason Gerrard
Stratford, Earl of Aldborough, Viscount Aldborough of
Belau, Viscount Amiens, and Baron Bultinglass, in the
Peerage of Ireland, was only son of Benjamin O'Nealo,
four Earl, by Martha, only child of Mr. John Burton,
and niece and heiress of Mr. Mason Gerrard. He was
born Bth July, 1784, and married 24 August, 1804,
Cornelia Jane, eldest daughter of Mr. Charles Henri/
Tandy, by whom, who survives his Lordship, he leaves
issue, an only son, Viscount Amiens.

On Wednesday last Batty's troup of equestrians
entered this town, and gave a morning and evening
entertainment, the latter of which was well attended,

highly applauded.—Chtlmsjord Chronicle.
