stroyed on shore is estimated at 10,0001. The whole of the passage-
boats are destroyed. The most extraordinary circumstance attend-

COMONIAX.
Suoaa.---Scarcely any business has been done in British Planta-
tion, the attention of the trade being chiefly occupied with the
5 i low to good
large public sales, and consequently only about 100 hogsheads have
been sold at previous rates. The public sales have been
very numerous, consisting principally of 10.411 bags 662
casks Mauritius, 2,253 bags Bengal, 975 bags Madras, and
158 baskets Java. Nearly all the Mauritius and Bengal sold,
forbut went off very irregularly, the former at 40s 6d to 46e 6d

sto 57s 6d fur mid grey to tine yellow, chrystalized, being for the
low
and finest descriptions previous prices, but the good grocery sorts
must in some instances be quoted rather lower. The Bengal brought
generally about former rates ; nearly all the Madras was taken it, at
38s to 44s for low to

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

(THIS DAY.)

GROUP IX.
The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Lord Worsley in the
chair.

WEST OP SCOTLAND JUNCTION.

The hearing of evidence in opposition to this scheme was resumed
this morning.
Mr. Atherton was called, and briefly re•examtned in continuation
from yesterday, as to the stability of the proposed viaduct.
Mr. Walker, engineer of the Clyde HarloourJunction, examined by
Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS—HC advised the purchasing of the land at
Stobins, and made plans for the Docks. The plans also included
the plans for the river-quays. The proposed dock had relation to
the mineral traffic which was expected to come upon it from the
branch of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. In laying down
the docks, he also laid down rails to accommodate the mineral traffic,
and that only. The size of the dock and basin he proposed was 17 IA
acres. They had passed a Bill through a Committee of the house of
Commons to effect this object. The bridge proposed last
year was about forty feet from the Glasgow Bridge.
He knew something of the foundations of the bridge and
quays, and they were fine running sand. He could speak per-
sonally about the foundation of the quay walls, and respecting the
bridge. He had the evidence of others. lie had often found the walls
fail through the sand running, and the foundations not being deep
enough. He thought that in driving piles and forming coffer-dams,
there would be gnat danger of the present bridge giving way. He
did not think the work impossible, though it was one which no cau-
tious engineer careful of his professional character would undertake.
He had no objection to a connexion between the two rails, but he
would propose it to be done by a circuitous route, commencing at
Shiers-bridge, on the south side of the river, and crossing the Clyde
above Rutherglen-bridge, joining the Edinburgh and Glasgow above
the inclined plane. It would be six miles in length, while the
proposed junction was three and a half miles. The heaviest
gradient of the line skirting the city was I in 80,
and avoided the tunnel on the inclined plane of 1. in 42.

GROUP XXI.

MAIDENHEAD AND WYCOMBE, AND
WEST DAYTON AND UXBRIDGE
(BRANCHES FBA: M THE GREAT WEST-

ElIN).

The Committee met this morning at the usual hour, present Mr.
Finch (Chairman), Captain Layard, Wodehouse, Lord A. Her-
vey, and Mr. Lawson.
The assents and dissents having been handed in, and the clauses
agreed to with some slight alterations,
The CHAIRMAN intimated that he should report the favourable de-
cision of the Committee on both those branches to the House, and
the Committee broke up.
