The Great Northern Company are taking steps for
the-purpose of rendering pr,fitable the swamps on each Bide
of the line , made by the cuttings for ballast for the formation
of the railway. All along the Witham, and between Lincoln
and Saxilby, there is an -abundance of these basins, which
are dotted with the huge roots of oak trees, demonstrating
that in bygone periods the fens abounded in fine oaks. The
basins are to be planted with osiers, which will no doubt be
the source of considerable profit, as well as give to the line
an exceedingly picturesque appearance.—Stamford Mercury.
GOOD FRIDAY.—HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS.—Yester-
day (Good Friday) London and its suburbs poured forth its
thonsands of pleasure-seekers by the various railroads and
iteaM:vessels proceeding to the more favoured places of pub-
:lie resort both above and below the river. The day fortu-
nately ,proved propitious, notwithstanding the cold, sharp,
easterly' wind that prevailed. Gravesend and Greenwich
seemed, to hold out the strongest attraction. Others of the
holiday folks sought the more quiet scenes of Kew, Rich-
mond, and HaMpton-court. Greenwich Park, as usual, was
thronged. The preparations for the fair on Easter Monday
in the town are of the usual character. At Hornsey-wood-
house the Westmoreland and Cumberland Society held their
annual :gathering of wrestlers, which was numerously at-
tended.,. A similar display of athletic exercises took place
at the Red-house, at Battersea. It may be fairly estimated
that Jtpwards of 50,000 persons left London for the many ob-
jects of pleisure, recreation, and amusement.
