of both one end the o'her— evidence of ungrateful
conduct on the part of the electors and of miserable
faultiness in the machinery of the elections. Other-

A question of considerable importance, which hes
alt wady been discussed at some length, will be brought
under the consideration of the shareholders of the
South-Eastern Railway Company at their half-yearly
general meeting. A prolonged correspondence has
elso taken place, the principal features whereof are
recapitulated in the concluding letters, Which will be
found in another part of this day's impression, and to
which we invite the attention of all interested parties.
It appears that the owners and occupiers of land in the
district situate between Strood and Chilhan) and Maid-
stone, being naturally desirous of,obtaining additional
railway accommodation, appointed a committee for
the purpose of entering int) negotiations with the
directors of the South-Eastern Company on that
subject. Certain propositions were put forward on
behalf of the landowners to the effect that an Act
should be obtained for the construction of the pro-
posed work, which would complete the direct North
Kent line, at en expenditure not exceeding 600,0001.,
including the price of land, that the South-Eastern
Company should not be required to contribute in
any degree to the capital, but that they would
be expected to take the line on lease, when com-
pleted, for seven or fourteen years, at a rent
amounting to three per cent. on the outlay, and
half the surplus profits, making due allowance for the
rent and working expenses, including reasonable
allowance for wear and tear of the working stock.
A sub-committee was also appointed to submit these
propositions, end to treat with the directors of the
trunk line. Serious differences have arisen between
that sub-committee, represented by Lord SONDES
and the directors, acting through their chairman Mr. j. „,„,
