Survey. Railroads have been constructed from Martham to the Thames; but the project has not repaid those who have advanced the capital a sufficient interest to recommend any further attempts. Stevens's Survey, which will pass through the county, has been prepared, and acts of the legislature for some of these have been obtained; only one of them has yet made much progress, namely, the London and South-western. Some proprietors have declared that intended to proceed to Kingston, and the house is the one with the one proposed from London to Dover.

Antiquities and interesting spots. Among the Roman and Saxon ruins of this county are the Roman Wall, which surrounded it, and the remains of which may still be traced near Dorchester. The piles are still standing in the river Thames at Oxford, which were placed there by the Romans, to impede the passage of Julius Cæsar. The remains of the campments of the Romans may be traced at Hartfield, at Walthamhill, and near Oxford. Among the antiquities of later date, are the Palace of Longleith, belonging to the see of Canterbury; the ruins of Eastbury, belonging to the see of Winchester; the remains of the Abbey at Kingston, the Castle of Guildford, Winchester Abbey, and some other Saxon edifices. The remains of St. Mary's, at Arundel Hall, the seat of the late Mr. Fox, the ruins of Richmond, and the terrace there, with the palace and gardens of New, are all objects that excite a high degree of interest. It is difficult to determine which of the towns is the capital of the county. The principal present is in the borough of Southwark, and the quarter-masteries are held there; but the best armies are held at Kingston-on-Thames, and the summer armies alternately at Kingston and at Guildford.

Votes and representation. The votes derived from this county are those of the Duke of Norfolk, the Dukes of Surrey, Guildford, and Onslow, and the City of London. The county is formed into the eastern and western divisions to elect two members for each. The election is to be held at Guildford; and the other

polling places are Ryegate, Camberwell, and Kingston. The western election is held at Guildford; and the other polling places are Hurstey and Chertsey. The boroughs of Kingston and Basingstoke, which formerly returned two members each, have been disfranchised; and Ryegate, which chose two, now elects but one member. Lambeth has been erected into a borough, and returns two members; as do the ancient boroughs of Southwark and Guildford.

The number of seats belonging to noblemen and gentry—Chief men in this county is so great as to forbid the naming of such, even all those which in any other county would be considered highly worthy of notice. The most remarkable are, her majesty's palace of New; Claremont, king of Belgium; Clandon Place, earl of Onslow; Popper House, Lord Middleton; Goulands, Lord Francis Egerton; Farnhill, Lord Carhampton; Ockham Park, earl of Lovington; Addington Palace, archbishop of Canterbury; Rosemont, E. H. Turner, Esq.; Nonsuch Park, S. Farmer, Esq.; Ginton, Lord Mason; New House, Lord Arlen; Bowdworth, Right Honourable H. Goulbourne; Norbury Park, Joseph Dennison, Esq.
