A QUIDE TO THE VALUE OF RAILVW'

We feel pleasure in quoting the following from , the,
article of the Morning Herald, as most flattering i° of
gentleman referred to, Mr. Scrivenor, the Secretsr'cer,
our Stock Exchange. We have not ourselves, We
seen his work : Pr(/'
" In the present unduly depressed state of railway
perty, we have numerous applications made by Pe':ito•
resident in the country for information respecting the 'OO
ation of particular lines as a guide for making invastrne
Did we even possess the means of answering such the
quiries, which we do not, it is easy to perceive Woo
task would be invidious, as we could not recoramen 0 the,
railway without, byamplication, throwing others iotaitea
back ground. We cannot, therefore, do better thin! ,t

to be able to make a reference to so useful a Nor"
