I think something should be -done about it by ourmerchants and other persons interested. The taking of this oneurrent mony at par, instead of bringing custom to our town, is doing; us harm in so many ways that I need n be at the trouble of repeating them, t ey , roust be evident to all. They are bring- ing silver here from all over the country, and importing it tam the other side too. • I have not seen any of our lately -issued Canadian peper currency or silver for about a fortn eight.

SIR: From your Report of Railway Meeting at Airdeyvill, e the pression is con veyed that the London d utation and their friends did not rece justice at the Winghain Meeting the d before. As Chairman, I disclaim a, such intention. In conversation wi ' Mr. Anderson before the meeting to place, and before either of the deputati • arrived, it was concludedthat fair disc eion should be had, and to have that, t plan to be pursued would-be fOrthe spe ers on each side to speak 'alternately, - which proposition the Hamilton men' once assented. Mr. Scott,. late Deput - Reeve of Turnberry, as Secretary of Ra way Coramittee, wrote out the' p gramme. As he commenced tO do so, remarked te him in writing . it out, leave room. for the insertion of the Lo don speaker's in such. order. Along wi • Mr. Brace, Of Zetland, he went to t London delegation, and. were surpris when they were told that only one them wished to speak. After waiting • little while, and seeing that they h made up their minds to that effect, th left, thinking that nothing more mild done, The followin ie a staternent b Messrs. Scott and Br ce of. what too place: . We the undersigned having noticed in the Horton- EXPOSITOR, that the Lon- don deputation • stated at the Railroad meeting held at Aiale,yville, that the said London deputatiop were •debarred from speaking at the Wingham Meetina, .we are much surprised as ere, C. Taitt'Scott end L. T. Brace, offered to allow any of said depatatien to. speak. , at the 'said Wingharn meeting, and we required. the names of the parties whom theydesired should speak, and the reply given was that Mr. .A.nderson was the only person, whose name they wanted on ' the pro- gramme, and hi3 name was -put .on -g6ac- eordingly. If any other entleman's name had been mentioned,: said names weadd most certainly, have- been pe t on the programme. Signed C. TAIT Scorr, , LEWIS J. BRACE. I do pot wish to enter into any contro verv- as to the respective merits of eith- er the London or Hamiltonach.ernes, but I cannot conclude. without expressing as- tonishment at the remarkable statement mM ade by the Rev. r. Morphy at Ain- leyville, that the resolution carriec at Wingham in favor of the Hami ton . scheme, was earned throughtriekery i lid defraud. It was, fairly and squarely put to the meeting, ' and carried • virtually unanimously upon the negative -'beiug called for, only.three or four hands being held up M favor of London. I requested the mover to withdraw that part of the resolution. which referred to the repre- sentations of the London men Which he declined doing. - He said they canie vol- untarily to the meeting, let them.bear the consequeuces. .If the resolution had been carried the other way, doubtless the reverend gentleman Would have ace, ceptcd it as a token of victory. Itseems an outrage upon such a large meeting to _ say that it could be tricked into carrying any resolution against their wishes or their judgement.

Expositor. DEAR SIR, -With regard to the Huron Railroad we believe that everything ap- pears to favor a western route. .Com- menciag at London, the Great Western ad might be used a few Miles out, and thereby might be avoided, the heavy cut - tine in the eastern district Thence to Ailsa Craig, which will very likely give a bonus, also the Townships of Hay and McGillivray would to the amount of $40,000 of cash by having a station about one and a quarter miles west oi Exeter, as that would suit the latter village, and the villages of Crediton and Zurich, which are in the centre of a fertile ,agri- cultural country, and have advantages of a village bordering on two or more Town- ships, which cannot do business like a municipality. If the railroad wmlld gu, any where near the centre of the Town- ship of Hay, a bonus of at least $30,000, would. .be given by that Township., I would recommend the west side of the large marsh which extends through ,..lefey and part of Stanley, AS the land is aldeost as level as a lake, and the right of Way would not cost half as much as it would near the London Road, By keeping wet it would. pass through or .near the most wooded part of the country, which 143 Velry valuable, on account of the tim- ber -aid shingles with which it abounds.. There is also any quantity' of tin -bark and iv-o9d, in which the people of London 'should be interested, whereas by keeping at any considerable distance to the east these commodities could not be had either Lor love or money, as the most of the far - mers have not. any 'm r than they re- quirefor their own u e. The scarcity extends ' for at least fi t or fifty miles north of Exeter, whe e wood, timber, bark and building timb r, also ties, -could not be got but in sma uantitiesseand even titen the suppl3 w d soon become exhaust d. Thus far a no farther we would r .commend the vestern rotas. By,keeping as far w st jVarna, would secure a good bonus fr. Stanley. since they offer $40,000 as1 a oiius. Varna is in the entre of the o1vuhi, and a thriving ivillage.

You A. a Editor, ar Co inty, for the parchaee of the North peifect1y well aware that I have been often taunted with my inconsistency in advocating free markets and tolled roads I certainly voted against the Tiy-law, for the purchase of the '' Noi them Gravel Road, without ever taking into consider- ation the toll question at all. 13ut at the sa e time I contend that Free Roads ancl Free Markets are not a fair conapari, son simply,- because, a farmer going to Godlerich and Seaforth to dispose of his pro luce, does no injury to the property of these corporations. His ging there is a s urce of benefit and profit to them, and . if hh makes his purehasee there he leaves ove one hundred. &liars a -.ear of clear proits for the benelit of the .orporetion, for which they in return eharge him about one dollar as market tees, and for which he receives n.0 bendilirectly, nor indirectly,he therefore vice e it as a piece of imposition. Whereas tle • gra velaoads are the property of all the ratepayers o the I County, and tolls arei, not, eolkcted so as to produce a revenue, for the sol ben fl.t of the ratepayers, but 'merely t assist in keeping these reeds in a good stat6 of repair, and everer person who uses them just pays in proportion to the injury he does them and the ,amount of benefit he 'receives.

I will patiently await the r reply.
