A CORRECTION.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] Sia,—The following extract is from your review of William Clarke's writings in the Spectator of February 15th :—" He asks :

What can be thought, from a rational, commercial point of view, of the Inter-Colonial Railway, which was built for political purposes ?' Well, the returns of the Canadian Pacific Railway are a sufficient answer." In justification of William Clarke's remark, and for the information of your reviewer, will you permit me to explain that, while the Canadian Pacific Railway is an inter-Colonial railway, it is not the Inter-Colonial Railway ? The latter is the name of the railway from Montreal along the south shore of the river St. Lawrence to St. John, N.B., and Halifax.—
