NX,WRY, ARMAGH, AND LONDON-
DERRY RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY).
A meeting of the subscribers to this undertaking, the
Company having been dissolved on the 25th of April 'last,
was called to have an account laid before them of the affairs
of the Company.
Earl Charlemont was called upon to take the chair.
The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the

meeting.
The CHAIRMAN then said it was not his intention to
detain the meeting at any length; had he risen to ad-
dress them on the prospects of the Company, and the
public advantages likely to arise from the line on the fulfil-
ment of their intention, he . would have done so
iii great elation of spirit. Yet even now, though
they had failed, not through misconduct of their directors,
'or they had exerted themselves to the utmost, but tender
circumstances and events which they could not control, he
addressed them by no means under depression of spirit; for
nothing had been neglected which could have advanced the
interests of the Company, there was no chicane in the con-
ecru, noshing to conceal. A report would be read fully de-
tailing the patticularo and a minute statement of the ac-
counts submitted to die shareholders.
Dlr. OGLE, the solicitor of the Company, then read the
report of the directors, which detailed the history of the
undertaking. It stated that the capital of the Company was
proposed to be
400,000 L, , o
that
13 09- shares had been allotted,
and
6,555 paid upon, producing 16,387/.llos. ; that the directors,
considering the small am,:unt of capital compared with the
estimated cost of the line, and looking to the deposits to be
paid into the Aczountent-General were inclined, on the 2d
of December last, to stop. proceedings before serving

Mr. PARSONS asked whether there had been any reserve of
shares for the directors.
The CHAIRMAN—No, not one.
Mr. FORBES, in answer to a shareholder, said that the
directors had generally paid upon their shares, but five of
them, three Irishmen and two Englishmen, had not paid up.
These parties had been written to, and would be again, and
the directors were in hope they would pay without recourse
having been had to harsh measures. Each director had taken
about twenty shares each.
Mr. CLARK moved that the report read be received and ap-
proved of.
Mr. PARSONS seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously.
Mr. GALT, after some able observations on the merits of
the line, and the attention of the directors to the interests of
the shareholders, added his hope that on a change in the
money market the undertaking might yet be carried out.
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN, before putting the motion, adverted
to the observations with which the motion had been intro-
duced, and expressed his hope that so good a line would yet
be carried out—that he, at least, would be ready to aid in
person and in purse.
, The motion was carried non. con.

Mr. PARSONS moved, and Mr. HOWARD seconded, that the
the accounts received be returned to the directors, and that
they be empowered to liquidate the same, after every possible
reduction, and to return the surplus to the shareholders in
the proportion of their shares.
The motion passed nem. con.
The Earl of CIIAI?.LE3IONT having left the chair,
Mr. FORBES moved a vote of thanks to Earl Charlemont
for his dignified conduct in the chair, and his unwearied zeal
in the interests of the Company.
This motion having been seconded, was pnt by Lord
CLAUDE HAMILTON, who bad taken the chair, and carried by
the meeting unari:nously.
The Earl of MARCII3IONT acknowledged the honour, and
again expressed his hope that the line would yet be taken
up and completed.
;The meeting then adjourned.

PRICE OF SUGAR.
The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, the pro-
duce

the returns made in the week ending July 28, 1846, is
375. 2 Ihd. per cwt.

MARK ET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July )
S I: GA n.—To-day importers of West India siga3rl--g
rally refused to further reduce their prices, but there was
a limited business transacted, the quantity sold not exas
ceeding 360 iihds, making the total.sales for the week 1,200
hhds and rrcs, and the decline in prices Is to 2s per cwt.
REFINED.—The refiners are still free sellers, and submitted

exceeding the
failing oil' in the quantity brought to
arrivals are again to a fair extent and the stock
that of last year.
MAcitiTlUS.—TheFe has been .eery little desire manifested
to operate privately in an): description, and the small parcels
disposed of were at prices in favour of buyers..
Mor AssEs.—Further parcels' of West India have arrived
`sus there 3,;;G eelea upon lower terms; still the busineag;

done has been extremely limited in all descriptions; the
tendency of prices is still downwards.
TEA.—Although there are sellers of Congou of all kinds
upon previous low rater, still the trade operated with paution
in all descriptions. For Pouchong prices do not improve,
although the stock is small, and the demand good. There
has been little desire manifested to operate in Twankay,
although there are sellers upon easier terms. Of Gunpowder,
the parcels disposed of were upon easier terms. Imperial
has been sparingly dealt in. There has been little passing in
Scented Orange Pekoe. Hyson has been sparingly dealt in.
Other kinds of Tea have met with a dull sale, and in most
cases rather lower rates are taken.

COFFEE.—Althougli-thereieare sellers of West India upon
further reduced terms, still there has been little business
transacted, and none has been brought to public sale.
COCOA.—West India of low quality is little wanted, and
there are sellers upon low terms, but the better kinds are in
demand, and bring firm rates.
RICE.—To -day Bengal Rice was much sought after; at
public sale 3,624 bags 2,400 pkts were offered, and nealy all
sold at stiff rates, fine white bringing 16s, good 15s 6tl to 16s,
middling 15s to 1.5 s 6d, low 14s 6d to 15s.
SPICES.—To• day Cassia Lignea met with attention, and
100 boxes at auction sold at very full rates; 67 brls Jamaica
Ginger only partly sold at 42s to 70s, and low 37s to 58s;
115 cases of cultivated Bengal sold at 28s to 325, it.ferior 21s
to 26s ; 45 chests of Malabar fetched 27s to 28s for middling
and good, and 25s 6d to 27s for damaged; 10 chests of Macc
sold at 3s to 3s 6d.
STMTS.—There has been much activity in the market for
Jamaica Rum this week, and prices have furtheradvanced 2d
per gallon" Leeward Island has been much sought after, and
further advanced rates are offered. Calcutta has been pur-
chased with increased freedom, and advanced rates are paid.
In strong Demerara several purchases have been made, and
prices have advanced. In Brandy little variation has taken
place, but the market ht a a dull appearance.
CociiisizaL.—For silvers the demand has improved, and in
some cases stiffer rates have been obtained, but black has
met with little attention, and prices have fallen Id to 2d
per lb.
SALTPETRE.—To-dav the market was better supplied with
Rough ; 2368 bags of Calcutta were submitted to public
compstititi in, but the whole sold, in consequence of rather
lower rates being taken.
OiiB.---The demand has at length improved for Olive Oil,
but any material advance in prices is prevented from taking
place by the heavy stock. Linseed Oil has been purchased
with caution on the spot, but the crushers are unwilling fur-
ther to reduce their prices; for forward delivery few buyers.
In Rape a good business has been transacted, but at the low
rate of 293 to 30s for pale, and 28s to 28s 6d for brown.
Palm is wanted, and the parcels sold were at 27s to 28s for
fine, 24s to 26s for middling to good, and at 21s to 23s for
low quality. Cocoa Nut has been sought after, but there is
yet little to be had. Of Fish Oils further parcels have been
received, and the tendency of prices is still downwards.
'l'ALLow.—Russian has been purchased with caution by
chan.llers and soap makers on the spot, although there are
sellers at further reduced rates. For delivery there are few
buyers to be met with, and prices are going down. For home
made the market is however firm; although the supply is
plentiful, a good demand has prevailed. Other kinds of
Tallow have been only in limited demand, but at present
little variation has taken place in the value.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships asembled at Five o'clock.
Messengers from the Commons brought up several
Bills.

RUGBY AND LEAMINGTON RAILWAY BILL.
The Earl of STRAFFORD moved the third reading
of this Bill.

v.
Lord KINNAIRD objected to the motion, on the
ground that the parties residing in Leamington had not
been heard before the Committee, who decided against
hearing them before they had had an opportunity of
opening their case against the Bill. He concluded by
moving the postponement of the third reading until
Monday.
Lord CAMOYS defended the Committee, and detailed
their proceedings. No appearance was entered upon
the petition from Leamington, so that they had no right
to be heard. It was true an application was made to be
heard, but the Committee decided against hearing them.
But the case of the petitioners was fully heard on another
petition, and therefore, whether they were beard or
not in their case, their opposition was virtually heard,
and was fully before the Committee, who were not
guilty of any injustice. The parties had, however, no
right to be heard, because their petition was not pre-
sented to the House until the 17th. Their appearance
was not entered in time. He therefore should support
the Noble Lord the chairman of the Committee (Lord
StrAfford).
The Earl of STRAFFORD said, he concurred in many
of the statements which had fallen from his Noble
Friend who had just sat down.
Lord KINNAIRD said, after what had fallen form
the two Noble Lords, who were members of the Com-
mittee to whom the Bill was referred, he must persevere
in his motion that the third reading be postponed till
Monday.
LOrd MONTEAGLE said the question was—a Bill
was referred to a Select Committee, and the parties ap-
peared, and they were to be deprived of the power of
being heard. If the case was as stated by his Noble
Friend, and that the parties did appear before the Bill
was taken into consideration, he did think it was
unjust if they would not allow them to be heard. What
earthly ground was there why this demand should be
refused?—(Hear.) Except what he had heard in the
House that night, he was not acquainted with the matter
before their Lordships ; but, as a matter of justice,
he thought the parties had a right to be heard.
Earl GREY said it was very natural that the parties
should appear in the first instance, because it would
decide in what order the Committee should considar the
Bill.

Lord BEAUMONT said he was himself chairman
of a committee when the landowners were permitted to
be heard when they came in due time. He did not
think that any rule existed on this subject ; but it did
appear to him that parties whose land was
to be taken foreiby away, they had a
right to be heard to the last moment.—(Hear.) Let
them suppose a case of a bad Bill which was to be pro-
posed. Before the parties opposing that Bill entered
into the expense incidental on opposing the Bill, they
might wish to have some certainty on the question, and
therefore he thought they were entitled to indulgence.
The Earl of RADNOR said he thought that the
rules of the Committee should be adhered to ; and,
therefore, he conceived there were no grounds whatever
for these allegations.
