THE DAILY NEWS.
NEW LONDON MORNING NEWSPAPER,
• Price Twopence Hal penny.
Published in time for the Morning MaPs.
Wilitefriars, June 11th.

The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that
the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or
so punctually as mizht reasonably have been anticipated. Their
apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded
all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required
numbers, even with the most powerful machinery, in time for the
Morning Expresses and Maile ; and the number of Post-office
orders which poured in made It difficult, and some days impossible,
to Aistribute them among the Trade—so that delays in executing
such orders were unavoidable. `I hey trust, however, that their ar-
rangements are now so comp ete as to insure the Subscribers aga'nst
all chance of delay : yet, as all the respectabl3 News Agents have
given to the DAILY NEWS an active support, and many have
announced by advertisement their willingness to supply the pa, er
for 16s. 4d. per quarter—payment being made in advance—the Pro-
prietors ecommend that new Subscribers should order copies direct
from a News Agent, and only when there is an apparent difficulty
transmit a Post-office order, payable to Joseph Smith, DAILY
NEWS Office, Whitefriars, I ondon.

supply of iron, the other Staple commodity of North Staf-
fordshire. These great public elakats, which, as separate schemes,
would require the construction pf 162 miles of new railway,
would be effected, through, the' happy combination of the North
Staffordshire Railway,: by
.construction of only 12236 miles of
new railway. The popula-,ion on. and within two miles of the line,
was unusually large, being altogether 344,3111, or upwards of 500
per square mile, while the average population or England is calculated
to be about 303 per square mile. The population, not on the new
line; but which would be immediately accommodated by it, was also
unusually large. The Learned Counsel dwelt at consi-
derable length on what he considered the " insignificant "

ing the gradient of 1 in 55, on the pfopt.osed line.

thought the estimates for the proposed line quite ample enough.
Mr. William Gordon deposed that he had resided for some time at
