THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY._ The directors of
this railway have adopted a very liberal system, in furtherance of
the excellent plan of running " excursion" trains, which promises to
become exceedingly popular. Since the opening of the line to Rams-
gate, a new code of fares has been issued, at greatly reduced rates,
in addition to which, by a recant arrangement, passengers by any of
the trains, on payment of one fare and a half, are entitled to traverse
the line (to and from) between all the stations on Saturday, Sunday,
and Menday. The thirty minutes after eight A.M. train from
London-bridge yesterday morning consisted of no less than twelve
carriages (first, second, and third class), all of which were densely
crowded with passengers. It each station down the line an acces-
sion
of travellers took place, and upwards of five hundred persons
took tickets betwevi Ramsgate and Canterbury Ilene during tint day,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained;
Sir 3. GRAHAM said, that in a matter of each vast im-
portance he would suggest that the Speaker ascertain whether
any precedents existed to guide the House in a decision of that
natgre,__

Air. HAWES said he would withdraw his motion for the
present.
The motion was then withdrawn.
The House adjourned at half-past One o'clock.
