towns on its route, without materially increasing the dis-
tance.
The principle of the Direct London and Liverpool
Railway, as in the case of the Rugby, Derby, and Man-
chester Railway, is to obtain a direct through line between
some of the most populous districts in the kingdom, with
the least possible amount of new railway, and conse-
quently the smallest expenditure of capital.
The Direct London and Liverpool Railway opens up an
entirely new District, at the same time that it interferes
but slightly with existing Railway interests.
The maps, plans, estimates, and other documents re-
quired by the standing orders of Parliament will be
lodged with the parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for
the counties, and the parliamentary offices, on the 24th
day of November, being six days within the time required
by the regulations of Parliament.
A preference in the allotment of Shares will be given to
the extent of 15,000 to the original Shareholders in the
Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway Company, on
their sending in their application for the same.
A proper reservation of Shares will be made for the
London and Birmingham, Chester and Birkenhead, and
Warwickshire Railways, being the Railways by means of
which the project now submitted to the public is the mest
Direct London and Liverpool Railway that can be made.

As the applications are exceedingly numerous, a very
early day will be named for closing the lists.
In the meantime, applications for Shares may be ad-
dressed to the Solicitors, or any of the Agents of the
Company, in the following form.

THE ST. LAWRENCE AND ATLANTIC
R AI LWAY.
(From the London Times, Sept. 29.)
WE insert the following extract from a Letter by Mr.
GALT, Agent to the St. Lawrence and Atlantic
Railway Company :
" In the city article of The Times of this morning I
observe a paragraph relating to the Toronto and Lake
Huron Company, in which it is stated, This undertaking,
to which the colonists have already subscribed £lOO,OOO.
is to open a direct communic lio❑ between the Atlantic
and the Lakes of North America.' This part of the pa-
ragraph must, I conceive, relate to the St. Lawrence and
Atlantic Railway Company, and not to the Toronto and
Lake Huron, the fact being, that the latter does not con-
template any conne,xion- with the Atlantic Ocean, but
merely between Lakes Huron and Ontario; neitherhave the
colonists, so, far as I am aware, yet subscribed for any por-
tion of the'itock ; whereas £lOO,OOO happens to be the
precise amount actually subscribed, and the deposit paid
upon in Montreal, in support of the St. Lawrence and
Atlantic Railway, which ' is to open a direct communica-
tion between the Atlantic and the Lakes of North
America.' "
