extend the period for the compulsory purchase of land and
for execution of works ; powers to appoint a joint committee

the combined working and conduct of the railway and
steamboat service between London and the continent by way
of Folkestone, Dover and Margate, and the Crystal Palace.

tol Stations Railwao, being unopposed, were referred to the

The condition of the monr.y market is approaching
to greater easiness, and a more encouraging tone pre-
vads to-day. The capital at the command of

tuercial requirements, and business is more freely
'legotiated. The rates have ranged from 41 and
4i Per cent ; the former quotation having only been
accepted in exceptional instances
During the last few days there has not been much
animation in the foreign and colonial produce

out any material alteration on the rates realised for
