The Canterbury branch of the South-Eastern Railway
was yesterday formally opened by the Directors. A
special train, containing the Directors of the South-
Eastern Railway, and their friends, started from the
Bricklayers' Arms station at ten o'clock, and arrived in
Canterbury shortly after two.
The new line, which commences at Ashford, is 15
miles in length, and is a dcuble line of railway. At
the Canterbury end a large concourse of people had
assembled, to witness the arrival of the first train, and
they vociferowly cheered it as it entered the town.
The occasion was celebrated by a public dinner, given
in the Corn Excha ,ge. About 280 gentlemen sat down,
amongst whom we noticed Lord Torrington, the Dean
of Canterbury, Mr. M'Gregor, the chairman of the
South East( rn . Railway ; Mr. Dodd, M.P.; and Mr.
M P.
Mr. Hooper, I the Mayor of Canterbury, presided at
the dinner, the Dean of Canterbury sitting on his left
hand, and Mr. M'Gregor on his right.
The cloth having been removed, the usual loyal toasts
were given and responded to heartily.
The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Archbishop, the Very
Ito' the Dean, and the Clerg) of the diocese.
The Dean of CANTERBURY returned thanks, and con-
gratulated the inhabitants on the auspicious t vent which
they had'that day met to celebrate.
The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the Directors
of the South Eastern Railway, which was received with
loud cheers.

Mr. M`GnEacin was loudly cheered upon rising to address
the company. He said, —Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, on
behalf of the South-Eastern Company, I beg leave to
tender to you our grateful thanks for the kindness and
hospitality with which you have received us to-day, on open-
ing the extension of our line of railway to your cathedral
city, and I am sure we all feel highly honoured in having
been, in any degree, instrumental to the completion
of this great work, which places Canterbury in connection,
by railway, with London, and all those towns to which the
advantages of the railway system have already been extended.
—(Cheers.) The Mayor has made several very flattering
remarks upon the manner in which the works of the Canter-
bury, Ramsgate, and Margate Railway have been carried
out. The merit t,f the works does not belong to the direc-
tors, but to the abilities of the engineer, who has executed
the plans entrusted to him to the entire satisfaction of the
directors. I feel, whets speaking of Mr. Joseph Cubitt, that
I should be doing an injustice to another gentleman who is
now present, if 1 did not take this opportunity of referring to
his labours upon the South-Eastern line of railti•ay. 1 refer to
Mr. William Cubitt, the father of the gentleman of whom I
have just spoken.—(Cheers.) The great works which Mr.
William Cubitt carried out, in connexion with the original
line of the South-Eastern Railway—I refer to those between
Folkestone and Dover—will, as long as the South Eastern line
exists, cause his name to be associated with its history.—
(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is true that to arrive here we have

travelled round three ;ides of a parallelogram, which has in-
creased the length of the journey to at least twenty miles more
than the. direct line would make it, the present distance being
somewhat more than eighty' miles; Whilst the eltetOon of
our Greenwich line to Uhilham would lessen the distance

to about sixty miles. Public opinion has decided that the
system of railways throughout the kingdom shall be so com
pleted that every important city and town shall be brought
into railway communication with every other one, and it is
unnecessary, since the ptiblit hest thadt up their Minds on
the subject, IA) dwell upon the advantages which the comple-
tion of the system will afford both in the transit of pas-
sengers and in the carriage of goods. Having spoken of the
proposed extension of our South-Eastern Railway to Chil-
ham and Canterbury, it would not be right to pass over the
fact that another and a rival company, likewise, proposes to
effect the same work, and it will Us Rif Parlltitheitt to decide
