is
to increase the num-

i.; increase may be

place in the coursesomore than a year. The
gentlemen who are actively promoting the rail-
Fife would do well to keep this important
way through
circumstance in view. We also learn on good authority-,
that the Railway Commissioners
_ are prepared to submit
their Report on the Eastern E
,glish and Scottish June-
tion, by such time as will enable the parties to lay the pre-
liminaries before Parliament March next, in terms of
m
the statutory requirement. Should this be the case, an
additional flux of passengers and traffic will pass through
Fife, but only on condition, we should think, that the fa-
cility of transport through that county be'equivalent to or
greater than that which is offered by the steamers passing
along its shores. With the certainty of railway passage
on the north, and the prospect of a simil,at accommoda-
tion on the south, no party, even the most timid, need
hesitate one moment to unite himself with the present
Forth and Tay Railway Company, now in course of for.
