We regret tose ad manifested by our Corporation committe, in their interview the ouer diay with the directors of the Loudon road, to be that rosd st aay other than a very remote point, say Falls Caurcb; from, we suppose, the dread that the interests Of Georze- town would be jeopardized were we to connect ata point nearer Alexandria.

We have no such fear; Georgetown can obtain an arrange- ment by which trains can be forwarded bere without delay; and as we can allurd a peter market than Alexandria for nine-tentus of the articies that are sent from the London region, they will naturally be forwarded here.
