We wish to direct the attention of our readers to a corre-
spondence between Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, the City Solicitor,
and Mr. W. H. ASH [mar, Chairman of the Committee of City
Lands, and Solicitor of the Direct London and Manchester
Railway Company, which appears in another column,
on the subject of providing a Central City Ter-
minus for all the_ great northern • lines. The sub-
ject is one not of mere local, but of vast national im-
portance. As has been justly observed by Mr. ASHURSI' in
his letter to the members of the Corporation, transmitting Mr.
PEARSON'S communication to himself, "the economy of
time is to a man of business as important as the saving
of expense in the , transit of the goods in which he deals,"
and at present it is a matter of universal observation; that
from the distance of the stations in the outskirts of London,
and the time consumed by stoppages in the streets and other
accidental causes, this comparatively insignificant journey
takes more time and causes more trouble than travelling on
the railroad for thirty or forty miles. But not orla:'
will the construction of this great Central Termintis be
an economy of time—it will be an economy of money also.
" The cost of cartage to the rail at Manchester and from the
terminus in the outskirts to the City • amounts to more
than one-sixth of the charge for the whole one hundred
and-ninety-seven miles. , Upon goods .from manufacturing
towns nearer to London, the proportionate expense of cart-
age of course tells with still greater effect." In every point.
of view, therefore, as regards railways themselves, and all
connected with them, whether as shareholders, passengers; or '
transmitters of goods, a Central City Terminus is a thing
greatly to be desire 3. We all remember the furious
opposition which, some years since, the Corporation of
-• " ' London, backed by the citizens, made to every pre-
z ,(
,„ It oet position for bringing railways into the 'heart of
the City, Their vehemence on the subject forced the rail-
way companies then struggling into existence to form
termini in the outskirts of the City, and the citizens congra-
tulated themselves that they had, by their public spirit, saved
themselves from the noise and smoke and dirt of railways,
and preserved their city pure and uncorrupted. But
now "a change has come o'er the spirit of their
dream." They begin to perceive, that "where the honey
is, there the bees are found"—that the termini of the rail-
