THE SOUTH-EASTERN SCHEMES.

Sir J. Nays mith corroborated the testimony of a former
witness as to the injury the proposed Mid Kent line would
inflict upon Lullingstone Castle and park.
Mr. John Glutton, the secretary of the South-Eastern
Company, proved the estimates for the land and stations
if the proposed lines.
Mr. E. J. Morton produced the population returns, by
which it would appear the South-Eastern hue; would ac-
commodate 13,745 more local residents tha.i those of the
Brighton.
Mr. Dow, the civil engineer who hid tested the relative
qualities of the strwas in the cuttings and tunnels of the
two schemes, gave it as his decided opinion that if the
Brighton Mid Kent line were granted they would never
succeed in getting .through Broughton-hill, while, at many
poi-ts where there were cuttings, the surface of the rails
would be several feet under water. A shaft had been sunk
under his direction on Broughton-bill, and the strata was
found to be wet and bad. Such difficulties as these did not
exist on the South-Eastern lines. On these lines the strata
was dry and good.
This closes the case of the South-Eastern Company, with
the exception of a few documents which have to be put in.
The Committee then adjourned till Tuesday, _the 13th of
April.

LEEDS, MARCH 27.
STOCK ExcneNGl.-Appearances were a little better in the early
part of the week, but the improvement was not maintained, and
business has been dull for the last two or three days, with declining
prices where sales were pressed ; but the general disposition among
shareholders appears to be to avoid as much as possible any unne-
cessary depreciation by urgent present sales, while at the same time
any improvement would at once bring out a considerable supply of
stock. The sales are-East Lancashire, New, 395. p.-Ditto, New
