RZILWAY CALLS. We find that much alarm has been created in the public mind by a leading article of a contemporary of October 12, which represents that 131 millions of pounds have still to be raised to complete the railway schemes already sanctioned by Parliament. The writer has taken the sum authorized by Parliament to be raised, 326,643,2171., and deducted the amount already called, 195,317,1064 which leaves 131 millions to be called; but he has forgotten that the first sum contains the amount the com panies are empowered to barrow, which is generally one-third of their 1,0.4 re capital. He has made no allowance for the sum thus raised, although it is known to be immense. It is impossible to form an opinion on this subject by reference to the amounts authorised by Parliament, ,for such amounts include loans, which there is no ready method of ascertaining to what extent contracted. Many Bills for lines were passed which the projectors never in tended should be made, and were originated simply with the view of being sold to existing companies ; these schemes are now defunct. The Parliamentary returns also include many duplicate entries, which arose thus—nearly all the old companies agreed to take shares in one or more of the new schemes. The Bill for the new company took powers to raise the full amount, and the old company also had to apply for power to raise their contributions ; this last amount should not have appeared in the returns. Satisfied that this calculation of our contemporary is very erroneous and calculated to mislead, we have prepared an accouneof the calls remaining to be made upon all shares named in the London daily share list, and have also added the shares of various lines which are not known in the London market. We are not aware that we have omitted any line which is likely to make a call. This appears to be the only method by which any proper idea can be got of our existing railway liabilities. Some campanies per haps will not be able to get their calls on their present shares, and may have to issue preference shares in lieu of them ; others may have to issue new shares as they cannot .borrow money ; ,but we think this will not be to any serious amount, as most compa nies will rather abandon some of their branches, or curtail their magnificent stations, than raise money upon such terms. Any excess of expenditure over the estimates will most probably be met in the same way, by curtailing the works, which in many cases can be done with benefit to the shareholders, and little loss to the public. We believe that the arrears on calls already made are much smaller than generally supposed. The works hare progressed rapidly, which could not have been the case except money had been provided. It is well known that directors have used the most vigorous means to compel payment, and they have been greatly assisted by the clause inserted in all the new Bills, that interest on all previous payments should be ferfeited during the time any call was in errear.

A considerable part of this is arranged to be raised during the next three years. It is probable that the Irish lines will be deferred for several years, or finished by the aid of Government loans. As the particulars are here given, every one can make what further deductions or additions he thinks proper, and so form his own estimate of our railway liabilities. Our contemporary says that in making railways we have heaped our bread and provisions into embankments. This is true only to a certain extent, because thousands, during the last three years, have denied themselves many luxuries and pleasures, and reduced their expenditure, that they might be able to pay their railway calls. Any sums thus saved and appropriated must be in addition to our national wealth. The construction of railways has been attended with one undeniable advantage, that of keeping our capital at home, and also inducing English capital to be withdrawn from foreign coun tries, which recent political events ;will not make the owners regret.—Leeds Intelligencer. LIVERPOOL, NIANC IES I2ER, AND NEW CASTLE-UPON-TYNE J UNC HON. A series of meetings of this company—general and special—was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopagatc•street. The original Chairmen of the board (Mr. France) presided. The circumstances of this company have been re peatedly set forth in cur columns. Some years ago they obtained an Act of incorporation, but the pres cure of the times lx!came such that it was impossible to carry en the works. In the meanwhile a consi derable body of the shareholders became anxious that the works and every other liability should be aban doned. To this course it would seem a section of tne directors was opposed. Ultimately a committee of investigation was appointed, and the general impres sion appeared to be that the affairs of the company should be wound up, and the funds in hand distri buted. These it seems would, according to the cal culations made, have secured a return of about 143. per share. On all hands it was admitted that the company ought to be broken up, and tkt only question seamed to be how far the claims of the landowners in respect of provisional agreements fur property ought to prevail. On this occasion it was agreed that the board of directors should b 2 reduced to six, and accordingly it was resolved that six should be 53 app9intt-d—the six holding professedly the opinions of the mkjirity as to the dit4tribu:iun of the funds in hand. Uitimately it was determined that the various meetings should be adjourned to the 15:h of .November, then to report as to the t tact financial position of the company—with a proviso that Ws. per share should be paid on the 13t of November, on the production of scrip—due notice being given by advertisement of the precise mode to be pursued. The new directors chosen were Messrs. Courtenay, Audies, Billatn, Grey, and Leeman. When this resolution had been carried, the old directors vacated their seats, and a new board having been organizA ex tempore, with Mr. Leeman as chairman, the reso lutions to which we have above alluded for the return of Pa;. per share, as a fist instalment, and the ad journment of the meeting. were Fssud. The meeting accordingly wood artjourned to the day r: am 71 The usual compliment haring. been passed to the chairman, the tneing broke up. LONDON AND .N01:11I- WESTERN —We are in formed that the official statement relative to the liabilities and real position of this company will ba ready for publication by S iturday, when we shall lay it before our readers. From what we have heard of its contents, we believe it is lik-ly to prove very satis factory to the shareholders and the railway public. GIEAT WESTEZN, LONDON AND NOZTII- WESTERN, AND SOUTH-WESTERN--Another meeting of the representatives of these companies was held yesterday, but as yet, we believe, no definite arrangements have been come to between them. We feel assured, how ever, that Parliament will never sanction an amalga mation of the companies, though, of course, they can enter into working arrangements honourably binding on all parties. PARIS AND STRASRURG.—The directors of 'this company have inserted a statement in the Paris papers, to the effect that they have nothing whatever to do with the petition now in the course of signa ture fur the purchase of the fine by the State. The directors state that they have fulfilled all their en gagements with the State since they obtained the concession of the line, a portion of which they hope soon to open. READING TO BASINGSTOKE.—This extension of the Great Western from Reading, thirty-five miles up the main line to Basingstoke on the London and South-Western, has been inspected by the Railway Commissioners, and will be opened on Tuesday next. It forms a union of the two lines, by a cross country route of fifteen miles, and the arrangement at the Basingstoke station will be such that, notwithstanding what is termed " break of gauge," there will be a convenient interchange of passengers.

CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Yesterday Edward Culli ford, a lithographic writer, was brought up before Mr. Jardine, for final examination, charged with -obtaining money with two forged bills of exchange. Mr William Martin Swinford, 276, Strand, litho graphic-printer, said that the prisoner worked for him occasionally for some years, and on or about the 14th of March last he brought him the bill of ex change produced for 231., requesting that he would give him 201. for it, as it was the last he was to get from Mr. Paul Bedford upon the settlement of an account between them, by whom it was purported to have been accepted, and bearing his address, 12, Kensington-gore, Hyde-park, upon which witness gave him two 101. notes. The bill was sent to 11, Howard-street, Strand, and it was subsequently as certained from Mr. Bedford that the acceptance was a forgery, the prisoner being out of the way at the time. Witness had no doubt it was in the prisoner's handwriting, and on the 3d of June he received a note from him at Gravesend by post, announcing that he was about to go abroad, and that as the bill was fictitious he ,would remit the amount at his conve nience. The Prisoner—l have not been at Gravesend for the last two years. Prosecutor—l know that ; but the letter was sent down to be posted there. Mr. Paul John Bedford, the comedian, being sworn, said that he resided at 18, High-row, Knightsbridge, and about twelve months back he lived at 12, Ken sington-gore. The acceptance to the bill produced, purporting to be in his handwriting, was a forgery, and he knew nothing about it. Mr. JARDINE—Have you ever known the pri soner ? Witness—Oh, yes, I have known him from his boyhood. Mr. Charles Manby, civil engineer, 25, Great George-street, 'Westminster, proved that the indorse ment to the bill was not in his handwriting. The prisoner was again charged with uttering another bill of exchange for 301, both the acceptor and the endorser's names being forgeries. It appeared that on the 4th of May the prisoner requested of the prosecutor to give him 291. for the bill Produced, which he refused, but gave him a cheque for 281. 103., on his saying that he had got the bill from Mr. Charles Manby, by whom he had occasion ally been employed, and he was pressed for money, as he expected the broker was about to seize on his fur niture for rent. When the bill became due it was presented at the bankers', :and returned with " no orders." The prosecutor's solicitor next wrote to Mr. Manby, and having himself had an interview with him, it turned out tat his signature had been forged. Mr. Manby proved that the acceptance was a forgery. Sergeant Pocock informed the magistrate that he was prepared with evidence respecting two other forged bills, but that the prosecutor, who had been in attendance, had unexpectedly left the court. Mr. JARDINE said that if there were any other charges they could be brought forward at the present sessions ; and the prisoner, who declined saying anything in his defence, was fully committed for trial on both charges. MARYLEBONE. EXTENSIVE ROYBERY BY A. SERVANT.—Yeeerday Charles Pitt, groom and valet to Major Pole, No. 10, Great Marylebone-street, was placed at the bar b fore Mr. Long, on the charge of having robbed his master of a c insiderable deal of property.; Prosecutor deposed that the prisoner had been in his service about two years, and that he had no reason to suspect him of dishonesty until ten days or a fortnight ago, when, on looking for some scarfs, he missed them. Ile subsequently ascertained that his pop tinanteau, &c., had been rifled of a great portion of its contents, and on the previous day (Monday) he called in a policeman, that a proper investigation might be gone into regarding the robbery. Edney, 103 1), stated, that on bring called to Major Pole's house, he took the prisoner into cus tody, he (prosecutor) at the same time charging him with hiving perpetrated the plunder. Ile made no remark then, to, and witness then asked to look ac ;As box ; he pointed it out, and on witness opening it he found therein a very small deal b ,x, which, on being opened, contained, amongst other things, 17 pawnbrokers' duplicates; on the prisoner being told that he must go to the station house he expressed a wish to speak to the major, and on his (the latter) signifying that he would hear what he hart to say, he (prisoner) admitted his guilt, stating that he had pledged a all sfa the ras articles lay in h whichi power, he h a d s t his e n in father ord ane r t d o support, mother, who were much distressed. Numerous pa ambrokers were in attendance, bring ing with them large bundles. They were opened and the contents were sworn to by Major Pole as being his property. It was further shown that three duplicates for plate belonging to the prosecutor were tOund at the lodgings of the prisoner's mother in lluntsworthonews, Dorset square. These articles were also shown to belong to the prosecutor. The vat i ail articles alluded to were pawned in different nein s, nad some of the pawnbrokers present in the ceu; - t the prisoner as being the person to whom they had advanced money. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH , STREET. MILITARY STUDENTS' AMUSEMENTS.—Three very young men, who assumed she names of Jones, Smith, and Cooper, but who were recognised as students of one of the military colleges, were charged by police constable Webb with having disturbed the inhabitants of Regent-street and Jermyn-street by knocking and ringing at different houses. The constable said he heard a great disturbance in the direction of Jermyn•street at a late hour the pre vious night, and on proceeding to the spot he saw one of the defendants coining from the direction of a door which he had apparently been amusing himself by knocking at. Another was climbing a lamp-post, and all three were making such a disturbance as to attract ' the attention of the residents in the street. Witness also found that a knocker had been wrenched from a , t door. The defendants appeared to be all the worse for drink. The defendants said they had nothing to offer in contradiction of the policeman's statement, except that they did not destroy the knocker. They were only ' amusing themselves at the time the policeman came up. Mr. 131:shuasa said if the defendants wanted to amuse themselves they must not do so at the expense of the comfort of others. They must each pay a fine of 403. The money was immediately paid. Emma Sinclair, of No. 7, London-street, a girl of 17 years of age, summoned Wm. H. Baulson Sawyer, Iloxton, a lad about the same age, for neglecting to provide for his illegitimate offspring. The girl said the defendant kept company with her for about eighteen months. Under promise of mar riage he seduced her, and she was delivered of a child in August last. The only answer that the defendant had to make was that he " know'd nothin' about it." The aunt of the girl said before the child was born the defendant called on her niece, and in her presence said he knew the child was his, and he would take care it should never want. Mr. HAanwics asked tho lad what he had to say to this ? Defendant—Why I say as I never said so. Mr. HARDWICK—Do you deny being the father of the child ? Defendant Don't know anything about it. The aunt having again declared that the defendant was in the habit of visiting her niece as sweetheart for some time and that, in her presenc e he had ac knowledged himself to be the father of the child. Mr. WannwicK said ho was satisfied with the evi denee, a:-.d should make an order for half-a- crown a week on the defendant. The defendant said he would go to prison before he would pay a farthing. Mr. Hannwrcx said, us the defendant seemed dis posed to sot himself against the law, he should make the order at once. The order for 2s. Gd. weekly and expenses was then made. WESTMINSTER. Mary Ann Cummings, a girl about 17 years of age, was finally examined, charged with robbing her master, Mr. Jaanaway, of Exeter-street, Chelsea, pawnbroker. The case differed from others in the peculiar fea ture that the prisoner appeared to have stolen the property without the object of deriving much benefit from it herself. She had been about two months in the prosecutor's service, from the early part of which time up to the period of her being given into custody various trinkets and other property had been missed. Oa the evening of the 18th inst. she was observed to place something hastily in her pocket, and Mrs. Jaun away's suspicion being excited, the prisoner's person and sleeping-room were searched, when a pair of new boots, some ribbon, a brooch, and several other articles were f o und, a portion of which were con cealed in her bedding. It subsequently transpired that, she had given the servant at the next house soma napkins, lace, and ribbon ; and a Mrs. Walter, in King's Head-place, Knightsbridge, who was almost a stranger to her, a silk handkerchief and necklace, be , sitle3 lea , ing an umbrella, parasol, and two or three other things, all of which belonged to the prosecutor, at Ler hoe Prisoner, on being taken into custody, admitted her guilt. The accused, who made no defence, was fully com mitted for trial. Richard Murray, a determined-looking fellow, was charged with violently assaulting the police. At about ten o'clock tm the previous night the de fend,int, who was drui,k, was seen by Healey, 241 the c o o n ni withouttaliafß, to cro ss th e road in Abingdon-street, 'Milbank, giving very%ing himlittle anythin g dottbt, t arid accoaccost a lady a n d gen tl eman , to solicit, as passing alma. defendant O n thei r Police-constable Kearney, H 184, stated, that while on duty in King-street, Spitalfields, between eleven and twelve o'clock that morning, his attention was directed to a large collection of filth, composed of putrid offal and manure, which was lying at the side of the foot pavement, and the prisoner soon after wards emerged from an adjoining court, wheeling a barrow full of the same fetid matter, which he shot out into the general heap. It having been commu nicated to him that the prisoner was the occupier of one of the houses in the court, in which an immense accumulation of a like description was deposited, he proceeded to examine the place, and found that the basement floor was used as a rEceptacle for the offen sive compost, which was piled up to the height of the ceiling, and the glass and frame-work of the window, having long since fallen in through dilapidation, a most noxious effluvium was constantly emitted, which was calculated to be seriously prejudicial to the health of the neighbourhood. The court in question was densely occupied by persons of the poorest de scription, several of whom complained to him of the mischief and annoyance to which they were exposed from the effects of the nuisance, and informed him that the prisoner was in the daily habit of collecting refuse matter and offal from the different markets, which he suffered to remain on the premises until there was a sufficient accumula tion to fill two or three carts, when he removed it in his barrow and shot it into the main street for the convenience of the persons who came to cart it away. The officer added that, under these circumstances, he felt it his duty to bring the matter under the imme diate notice of the magistrate ; and in order to effect that object he took the prisoner into custody for the minor offence of causing an obstruction to the tho roughfare. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he had been in the habit of getting his living in the manner described for the last sixteen years, and was never before aware that he had committed any legal offence. Mr. assistiee said that he could not be per mitted to pursue such a mischievous mode of ob taining a livelihood at the expense of the health and comfort of the neighbouring inhabitants, and he should impose upon him the full penalty of 403. for obstructing the thoroughfare, or commit him in default for fourteen days to the Mouse of Correction. The Magistrate also directed the officer to make an immediate report of the case to the Commissioners of Police, in order that the necessary proceedings might be at once adopted under the Sanitary Act, fur the: entire suppression of the nuisance as speedily as possible. SOUTHWARK. Eliza Denton was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with stealing nine sovereigns from the person of Mr. W. Swaney, Walworth. The complainant stated that, being in the neigh bourhood of Whitechapel on the preceding afternoon, he went into a coffee-shop, where he met the prisoner and treated her to some coff.T. In the course of conversation she told him that she lived in the Borough, and as he was going in that direction he invited her to take a seat in a cab with him, as it was raining hard at the time. They accordingly proceeded over London-bridge, and as they were going along near St. George's Church he missed his purse, containing nine sovereigns, which was taken out of his trousers pocket, and as he had seen it a few moments preparatory to his entering the vehicle with the pt isoner, he accused her of the robbery. She, however, having strenuously denied all know ledge ot.' the circumstance he had the cab stopped, called a policeman, and gave her into custody, and they all proceeded to the station-house in the vehicle. On their arrival there the cab was ordered to be exa mined, when the purse was found at the bottom of it with only two sovereigns in it, and on carefully look ing through the straw in the same place one more sovereign was discovered, leaving six sovereigns still unaccounted for. There was nothing found on the prisoner, and the complainant added that, she must have taken the purse and its contents and thrown them down in the straw in the cab when she found that he was detertnioed on giving her into custody; that he was convinced she still had the six sovereigns, notwithstanding the strict search she had undergene. The strong supposition of the prisoner l;eing in pos session of the six sovereigns was verified front the tact of the sudden and serious manner in which she was attacked with illness soon after she was locked up in the cell. Her groans being heard, the female searchers hastened to her assistance, and found her lying on the floor apparently dead and frothing from the mouth, and it was a considerable time before she recovered ; but even when placed at the bar the following morn ing her appearance indicated that she was extremely ill, and the cause was believed to arise from her having swallowed the six sovereigns. She, however, denied such to be the case, and, in fact, declared she knew nothing at all about the purse or money which she was charged with stealing. Mr. CoTTINOHAM said there was very little doubt in his mind but the prisoner had taken the money as described, and that, in order to secure a portion of it for herself, without the fear of detection, she had recourse to the dangerous experience of swallowing six of the sovereigns ; but it was not by any means a solitary instance of persons charged with crimes of a similar description running the risk of losing their lives by such means ; and that, with the view of in vestigating the present case still further, he should remand the prisoner for a few days, and direct that she should be closely watched while in gaol. Remanded accordingly.. Swan Allen, a tall well-dressed woman, was next placed at the bar, charged with stealing three half crown pieces from James Phillips , an elderly man. It appeared in this c ase t h at the corn ' lainant went into ' the Mayor of Mansfi e ld public-hou se, in Lock's-fields, and having treated th e pr i soner to some liquor he had occasion to take his purse out, and having counted out some silver on the counter she snatched off three half-crowns. He supposing she did it by way of a joke desired her to retur n th e money , b u t s h e insisted that she did not take it; and although threatend with being given into custody she still denied the fact, and a policeman was called. When the latter entered the house the prisoner was observed to convey some thing to her mouth, which upon observing the po liceman went up and seized her throat, and was Just in time to prevent her from swallowing the three half crowns, which sh e ma d e a n effort to do, but they dropped out of her mouth on the floor. The prisoner was committed. Wet. Hughes was brought up for re-examination charged with assaulting and wounding Eliza Minon, who appeared with her head bound up with bandages, and had only that day come out of the hospital, in which she had been a patient owing to the brutal at tack upon her by her assailant. The circumstances are briefly these :—On the night of the sth instant, a policeman on duty in Tooley street was called into a house by a woman named Jenkins, whose hands and clothes were covered with blood, and informed by her that a man was murder ing a woman in the house. lie went into a room on the ground floor, and saw the prisoner in the act of kicking the complainant on the head with an iron-shod shoe as she lay upon the ground. She was streaming with blood from the wounds her brutal assailant inflicted upon her head, and she appeared to be in a state of total insensi bility. The prisoner tried to make his escape by rushing out of the room, but he was secured by another policeman stationed at the street door, whilst his unfortunate victim was immediately conveyed to the hospital, where, on examination by the house surgeon, it was ascertained that she had no less than seven serious wounds on the head from the repeated kicks inflicted by the prisoner. At first there were apprehensions for her life, but owing to a strong constitution and the remedies adopted at the hospital she was now considered sufficiently well to be enabled to attend this Court. When the case wets called on, the- unfortunate women evinced great reluctance to give evidence against her assailant, soying that she did not wi.h to prosecute him, as she considered she was to blame herself, elle having given him provoca tion by taunting him and using language calculated to exasperate him. The woman Jenkins also evinced a similar feeling towards him until assured by Mr. Cottinghans that he would not permit such a flagrant act ef violence on the part of the prisoner to go un punished ; that he (the Magistrate) had been com pelled to issue warrants in order to bring the wit nesses forward, and that he WAS determined twelve men should adjudicate upon his case, for it was ab surd to suppose that the punishment he had the power of suinmarily inflicting upon such an offender was at all ELI-gave to the offence. He should there fle commit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court. _ The case has been twice remanded owing to the extraordinary and contradictory nature of the evi dence, when Mr. Pelham appeared for the com plainant, and Mr. Locke, barrister for the defendant. It appeared that the girl Casey swore that John Dudley was the father of her child, and stated in corroboration that whilst she was in the Lond,m Hospital for a disease of the chest, he sent her some tea and sugar by a person named Kelly, and also sent his apprentice to inquire after her; that he subsequently came himself to see her several times at a Mrs. Pettit's, where her mother lodged ; and on one occasion took her into a public house, where, after paying for a glass of brandy and water with a crown piece, he handed her the change ; and that during her confinement at the Poplar Union he was in the habit of leaving money for her at Mrs. Pettit's, who used to hand it over to her mother. Mrs. Pettit, when examined on the second hearing, admitted that Ghe defendant had interviews with Anne Casey at her house, but denied she had ever received money from Dudley to hand over to Mrs. Casey for the use of her daughter. She had herself given Mrs. Casey relief in money, though the latter owed her seven weeks' rent, but it was not done at the instance of Dudley. The two old women, Mrs. Casey and Mrs. Pettit, were confronted with each other in the witness•box, and the imperturbable per tinacity with which they both swore to facts wholly contradictory of each other shocked, whilst it con founded the Court. The case, on the re-hearing yesterday, when Messrs. Locke and Pelham again attended, presented a similar display of grossly conflicting evidence. Jane Kelly, the woman who was said to have taken tea and sugar to Anne Casey, in the London Hos pital, admitted that she had done so; but said it was sent, not by the defendant, but by his sister, who, when sending it, said that Anne Casey did not deserve it, as she had not behaved well to her (Miss Dudley's) mother. This witness and the complainant were confronted with each other—Kelly swearing that she told Casey that the groceries were senb from Miss Dudley, and Casey swearing that she said they were sent by the defendant. One prayed that she might not quit the dock alive if her statement were not true ; and the other invoking impre cations on herself and her infant if hers was not the correct one. The scene altogether was intensely shocking, so horribly impious was the perjury on one side or the other. W. George Newman, the apprentice, denied that he had ever been at the hospital to see Anne Casey; but, after she had left his master, as he had on one occasion to pass by her lodgings at Poplar, his master told him just to call, when he heard she was at the hospital. The complainant and this witness were also con fronted, and stoutly contradicted each other. Mrs. Susannah Sanson, a respectable matronly looking woman, stated, that whilst Anne Casey was i❑ the hospital, a lad, somewhat like the witness Newman, though she would not swear it was he, came to inquire after Anne Casey, and said he had been sent by his master, Mr. uudley. Ile called a second time, and left some of Mr. Dudley's cir culars. Mr. YARDLEY said, that in his experience he had met many instances of conflicting and opposite testi mony, but never any so gross as this case presented. Had lie decided the case as proved by Mr. Locke on Tuesday last, he would have made an order, fa- the fact of the defendant's visits to the girl at Mrs. Pettit's, with other circumstances, were corroborative of Anne Casey's statement, and though the matter still re mained in considerable doubt, as two of the witnesses just examined—one of whom (Kelly) must be pre sumed to be disinterested—directly impugned the testimony of th 3 complainant. The summons must be dismissed. Mr. Pelham said it was due to the defendant to state, that he had given every facility to the produc tion of the witnesses Kelly and Newman. Anne Casey, whose manner throughout was very decorous, asked whether, if she were able to produce stronger corroborative evidence, any further inquiry would be instituted ? Mr. YAILDLEY replied in the negative. As far as he was concerned the ease was at an end. FROlg THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. WHITEHALL, OCT. 18, 1848.

Susart.—To-day the demand increased fcr all sorts of raw Sugar, both for home trade purposes and shipping, still no general decline in the ♦alue took place, and there was not a large quantity on offer. West India was offered at the rates of Friday, still on the part of grocers or refiners little desire was evinced to do business. The purchases amounted to only 250 hhds and trcs, including a public sale of 156 hhds 9 trcs Barbadoes, which went off flatly at about the former value ; fine yellow at 40s 6d, good 39s to 39s 6d, middling 368'6d to 37s 6d, low 36s per cwt. The market closes with a quiet aspect for all sorts of Sugar, which is a matter of surprise. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution for home-trade purposes, and a desire was shown to sell—brown grocery Lumps at 47s to 47s 6d, and Standard at 48s per cwt.
