EFFECTS or HIGH FARES.--The branch of the
South-Eastern Railway from Margate to Ramsgate was
not opened, as expected, last week. " Under other cir-
cumstances," says the Kentish Observer, " this would
have caused much disappointment and inquiry as to the
cause; but so unpopular has this railway company be-
come, that few cared to ask if it were open or not, or as
to the cause of its not being opened. There is no ques-
tion that the three towns of Margate, Ramsgate, and
Broadstairs would have done much better at the latter
part of the season had the fares not been raised ; and
also that the South-Eastern Company, from their false
step, have been sufferers in a pecuniary point of view.
Few will travel from the Isle of Thanet by rail this win-
ter, unless the prices be lowered, the second•class car-
riages made more comfortable, and the third-class
covered in. The voyage to London by steam-vessel is
cheaper, performed in about the same time as running
round by Ashford, and is preferable, in many respects,
to riding in the present second and third-class carriages.
Passengers meet with civility and liberality from the
captains and crews of the steam-boats." The same can-
not be said of the railway.
