THE LONDON REVIEW, a Monthly Digest of Lite-
rature, Science, and Public Affairs.—ln offering a new
Periodical to the Public, the Editors of the London Review
have reason to believe that their Monthly Journal will be
found to fill a vacuum in Literature that has been often ac-
knowledged. The stream of publication is now so rapid that
few readers can afford either the time or the expense necessary
for the perusal of works which yet contain much that is va-
luable, and sometimes essential to be known. The vast dis-
coveries in Science now constantly in progress ; the devel-
opment of new forms and elements in our social existence;
the application of established principles in ■ew directions;
the naratives of the traveller; the researches of the histo-
rian ; the lighter but not unimportant volumes of the novel-
ist ; all these compose a mass of literary novelty containing
information of the highest interest, yet whose very bulk oust'
debar the greater number of readers from its acquisition.
The great object of the London Review will thus consist
in giving every month a reflection, faithful, and, if possible,
full, of all the useful and interesting features contained in
the publications of the period; affording to every work and
every subject the attention demanded by their importance,
and endeavouring always to fill its pages with the materials
best calculated to interest and instruct.
The criticisms of the Review will be condensed as far as is
consistent with the full elucidatio❑ of the subject under dis-
cussion. And no diffuse comment written merely for dis-
play will be allowed to encroach upon its space to the exclu-
sion of more useful matter.

Each Number will consist of nearly 100 pages, printed in
a handsome octavo form, and published at the price of One
Shilling.

MESSRS. PICKFORD AND CO.
AND
THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
-••••••

r SIR,
IF we do not now answer in detail the long letter of Captain
Hnisb, (of the 17th instant,) published last week, in be-
half of the Grand Junction Company, it is only because it is
irksome to repeat an already oft told tale, which we cannot
expect your readers would have sufficient interest in the
matter to attend to.

It has been decided that the Grand Junction Company
should not favour Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, or any one
else, more than ourselves ; that they are bound to deal

- -
They have drawn out a tedious correspondence, from last
July, the date of the judgment, till now ; and they propose
to allow us, not the same sum which they pay Messrs.
Chaplin and Horne, but 40 per cent. less.
It has been decided that, if they have a right to receive
anything at all above their ordinary rates for Hampers of
small Parcels which they do not collect and deliver, or have
any more trouble or risk with than ordinary goods, " such
compensation, at all events, should be trifling."
They estimate this " trifling compensation" at just 100
per cent., and refuse to accept less.
They publish two letters, last of a series of more than
twenty, without reference to what has preceded them ; and
they ground upon this detached bit of a correspondence,
which, collectively, shows to a remarkable degree how hap-
pily;ti question may be argued in a circle, an attack both
upon our notices and our fair dealing.
.After writing and corresponding six months, when every
day was important, it is not surprising that we were impa-
tient, and eight days is surely long enough to wait for an
answer which might have arrived in two.
Some one must undertake the Carriers', duties, and the
responsibilities connected therewith. The Public havea
right to choose whether they will employ the Company in
this behalf, or a private Carrier; and the Company mani-
festly violate the law when they infringe this right, by in-
sisting upon being paid not only as Toll Owners, but as
Carriers, for all Goods sent over their Linev,_wthheelm or not.herthe
they
have discharged a Carriers' dulieBinrespec
The tone of Captain finish's letter, and:the bard words he
applies to our late Circulars, it is scarcely worth while to
notice. Unless the Company are too strong for the law, we
shall gain our point at last.
We are, Sir,
"f oar oberiios Seryants,
fICKFORD and Co.

PARISH OF LIVERPOOL.

restoration of his health, and for the welfare of himself and
Mrs. Dowdall, to whose merit, as Matron, the Select Vestry
bear willing testimony.
