EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE MORNING HERALD.

Sir,—l notice a communication in your journal under
the head of " Railway Competition," which is calculated
to give as erroneous impression as to the true position
of affairs in reference to the competition for Liverpool
and Preston traffic. When wo opened our line on the
2d April, via Ormskirk to Liverpool, we instructed the
North Union Company, who book our passengers at
Preston station by arrangement, to charge ss. for first-
class, and other classes in proportion, which were oar
Parliamentary fares. They did so; but they charged
their own 4s. for first-class, and other classes in pro-
portion. We wore compelled to reduce our fares to
theirs; but they continued to drop till they arrived at
the previously unheard-of price of Is. for first, or 6d.
only for third class, for 39 miles!
On Wednesday afternoon, and all Thursday, we were
booking at 25., ls. 6d., and ls.—just double the price of
our opponents.
As to th© remark in in the article referred to, that the
" East Lancashire" refused to listen to any overtures
from
what it means—l never heard of any overtars
from the "London and North-Western," I do not know

T. S. Duricomati, Esq., M.P.—The health of this
nom Ger,tleman has so far improved that it is his in-
tention tc. resume his Parliamentary duties shortly after
the termination of the Easter recess. The disease under
which nr.Duncombe has suffered so severely for a pro-
tracted p.31.i0d, has yielded Ito the skill and unremitting
care of his medical attendants, who are, we understand.
of opinion that with proper precautions the Hon. Mem-
ber for Finsbury has yet many years of public useful-
ness before him.
THE COURT.—Her Majesty and the Court return,
according to present arrangements, to Buckingham
Palace from Windsor Castle, on Tuesday next. At an
early hour the same morning his Royal Highness Prince
Albel attended by Colonel Phipps, will depart for Lin-
coins' Eire, in order the following day to lay the first
stone .of the new docks at Great Grimsby.
