TALLOW.

There is a little depression in the foreign market, consequent upon
the decline in town Tallow, which is selling freely at 39s nett cash.
The very hot weather is uo deubt the great cause for the falling off
in the deliveries. Prices at St. Petersburgh for new Yellow Candle
remain firm.

DEAL AND DOVER.

- -
It will be remembered that the landholders' opposition to this
case had closed when the Committee adjourned at the middle of last
week. Tile whole of this morning was occupied with Mr. Merre-
wether's reply to that opposition, which he contended ought
not to prevail against a line of so much public importance as
one running between Dover and Deal.

_ ---.
The room was then cleared, and after a shortconsultation strangers
were re-admitted, when

The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee had come to the deci-
sion that the preamble to this Bill was not proved. He accompanied
this announcement with the remark that some of the Committee,
indeed, he might say the whole of them, were satisfied as to the
merits of this line, but that in the present state of the money-
market, and considering the number of these works Parliament had
already sanctioned, they did not feel justified in passing this Bill.
SOUTH-EASTERN (GREENWICH TO
GRAVESEND).

This Bill was then re-committed. It will be remembered that the
Committee passed it at their former sitting, sanctioning a tunnel
under Greenwich Park An objection was taken to this in the
House, and the Bill was ordered to be re-committed.
The Committee now, pro forma, agreed to the
Bill, striking out the clause sanctioning the tunnel, and inserting in
its stead a clause enabling the company to adopt their alternative line
round Blackheath. The coat of the line with this alteration was
estimated at 800,000 t.
This closed the labours of the Committee.
