, deposit, with all the prestige of sharernarket quotations
and premiums, and London and Yee k arnalgamatiens, ha
has no line at all—he has publi-hed no line at all—he has
projected no scheme, no enterprise or undertaking, except
that which goes by the name of "Remingten's Erie," and
which, as my acknowledged line, I have confided to the
protecting care of a Committee, who shun all contact
with Mr. Ashurst as they would with a walking pesti-
lence Where, then, is the line to which Mr. Asburst is
•the appointed solicitor? His own prospectus describes it,
in July lest, as a line by " Barnet, St. Alban's, Dunstable,
Luton, Ampthill, Bedford. Wellingborough, Kettering,
Market Harborough, Lacester, Loughborough, Ashby-
de-la-Z inch, Burton-on-Trent, littoxeter, Cheadle, Lei le,
Macclesfield, Stockport. and Mar.ehester." Now this,
with one exception, is p; ecisely the line upon which I have
been at work for nine years past, varying it slightly by
I the omission of Derby, to meet public opinion ; and this
is the line, with the same single exception, which I and
my patrons stand pledged to bring before Parliament—
the exception is the town of Leughboameh, because that
town could net be includ:d without making a detour of
many miles. Mr. Ashurst, however, is like the cad
er a eadt!lag,ton omnilm who, to entiee pissengers, will
promise to set them down v..ry near Ilampstead• heath.
If anybody will be at the try übie ( xateinit g one of the
Ordnance maps he lei.' find that Loughberough is
many miles out of the direct route ; thit-, through the
ingenuity of Mr. Ashurst, there is ail the machinery of
Provisional Comrelneea acting Comfdttees, share-
holder, share marks t, solicito-, and engineer, a iihout
any cl iinae object in v'ew, cxeept to netke a line which
others heve jected, foster, d, matured, and set:veil ed
their meney to to eons; reet, leng before he or his friends
theamt of such an undere,king. This fact sill be reeerded
by historians hereafter as a proof of the gullibility of the
public in this age of rail Nay spevulatiete
It is scarcely necessary to acquit myself a second time
of the spiteful in finuitions of Mr. Ashurst, that I have
capriciously, or ignorantly varied my estimates ; his
sneers do not afryct me, but they•may possibly mislead the
public; I therefore repeat, that when I cent( mpleted a line
to York as well as Manchester, I mentioned 7,000,0004
for the capital; when the scheme was confined to Lon-
don and Manchester, I limited the estimates to 4,000,0001.:
when it was proposed fro ad I a branch through the Potte-
ries, I increased the eitimate to 5,000,000/ ; the estimate
of 2,000,000/., which he quotes with malicious ti iumph,
appeared in a prospectus published in my absence from
London, and without my knots ledge : it was a mistake,
as I readily admit, but oneror which I am not account-
able, and which was corrected as soon as it was dis-
covered ; all this was explained in my former letter, nor
would Mr. Ashurst have revived the subject if he had
not felt that his only chance of escaping detection was to
make the most of a mistake.

I have given Mr. Ashurst enough to do ; he has found
it difficult enough to invent a competing line ; he has
found it yet more difficult to meet, without equivocation,
the charges I have here repeated ; but I must perplex
him yet a little more. Will he have the goodness to in•
form the public, who have been so kind as to buy his
shares and supply him with money, what ho proposes
to do with their money beyond the payment of
own costs ? He has not surveyed any part of 'y line
at present ; and if this work is to be eounneneed
now, I can assure him, and so can Mr. Rastrick, that he
will not be ready by the 30th of November; I will do all
I can to assist him; and ai my survey and sections are
nearly completed, he shall be welcome to them as soon
as the solicitors have completed the book of reference.
This is very liberal, considering that he has appro-
priated my nine years labour without asking leave; but
it will show him that I do not harbour resentment.
and am willing to return good for evil ; his shareholders.
however, will do well to inquire whether he can avail
himself of my liberal offer in time to comply with the
standing orders ? If not, I fear that their shares will
be at an alarming discouwt before the 30th of Novena-
ber.—l am, Sir, yours ob.dientlY,
