No engineering &faculties present themselves to this
project ; the line will be easy of construction, and the
local feeling is in its favour. If Stephensbn's line be
sanctioned, the branch to Horsham will be unnecessary;
but, if Parliament should refuse its sanction to Stephen-
son's line, Horsham will have no connexion with any
railway, except by means of the branch in question.
Therefore, in the event of the last-mentioned conti-
gency taking place, we are not aware that any public
reason will exist, which ought, in our opinion, to be
decisive against it.
In conclusion, we beg to draw attention to the pas-
sage of the Fifth Report of the Select Committee of last
year, in which it is stated, in recommending that reports
should be made to Parliament by this department upon
railway schemes, " That no such report should be held
to prejudice the claims of private persons, the examina-
tion o which should be altogether reserved to the Houses
of the legislature."
In submitting to Parliament, in conformity with the
recommendations of that Committee, the results at which
we have arrived, with a view to the information and as-
sistance of Parliament, in forming a judgment upon the
schemes in question, in so far as our reportmaybe avail-
able for that purpose, we are anxious that it should be
distinctly understood that we have arrived at these re-
sults solely upon public grounds, and to the exclusion of
all 'considerations how far such results might require to
be modified by a due regard for private rights and in
terests.

THIRD EDITION OF ~ THE SUN."

Tn. have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
• tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
lice fee) being made for nor supplying the latest or Third Edition.
:'his Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a
Istarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the ' Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official
Prices of Shares in Railways, dc. &c.—The Betting at Tattersalt's on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other
news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Aecond or Evening Edition goes to press.
In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
ROVES IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early
intelligence.
In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, dc. ec., will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.
Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper ; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The
Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their
representations.
