MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley,
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were on a very limited scale,
but those of Malt were moderate. From either Ireland or Scot-
land, very little Grain of any description came to hand, but
from abroad, large supplies of Wheat, Oats, and Flour were
received, and chiefly landed in bond. Fresh up, the re-
ceipts of Wheat of home produce were trifling, though of lull average
quality. The attendance of buyers, most of whom were unusually
bare of stock, being good, and the stands scantily filled with
samples, the best qualities of Wheat of home produce
commanded a steady sale, at an advance, in the quotations obtained
on this day se'nnight, of Is per quarter, while the value of the mid-
dling and inferior kinds was well supported. At the close of busi-
ness a good clearance was effected. There was a good inquiry for
Foreign Wheat under lock, for shipment to Belgium, at full curren-
cies. Fine qualities were in moderate request, and in some instances
the turn dearer. Barley, the supply of which was small,
moved off freely, and selected parcels were the turn dearer.
Superfine White Malt moved off steadily, though the actual amount
of business 'missing in it was not large. All other kinds were some-
what neglected. From all quarters very few Oats, if we except the
foreign importations, have come to hand. That article was, therefore,
in good request, at an improvement in value of from 6d to Is per
quarter. For• Beans there was a firm demand, at a trifle more money.
White Peas were selling at Is. per quarter more money, while the
value of other kinds was well supported. There was rather more In-
quiry for Flour, but prices were not higher. The accounts from the
provinces respecting the growing Wheats are very favourable, but
Spring Corn stands much in need of moisture.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFZELDS.
For the time of year, the supply of old Potatoes on offer is good,
but of very inferior quality. The business transacted since our last
has been very trifling, and it is with difficulty we can give accurate
quotations. A few lots of York Reds have sold at from 100 s to 140 s;
York Regents, 30s to 60s ; and Scotch Reds, 20s to 70s per ton.
BOROUGH HOP DTAURET.
The accounts which have reached us from the plantations in Kent
and Sussex since our last, being of a more favourablecharacter,thege-
neral demand here is heavy, and must have a downw.rd tendency. The
duty has advanced to 130,000/. The following quotations are almost
nominal : -Sussex pockets, 5/ 5s to 6110 s ; Weald of Kents, 51 10s
to 61155; Middle and East Kent, 616 s to 81 15s.

The imports of Wool into W
London during the past week have been
unusually small, yet the supplies on offer are somewhat extensive.
Privately, both foreign and colonial qualities are a dull sale, at barely
stationary prices ; but for English clothing there is rather more de-
mand, at full rates of currency.

There is a little depressionTALLOW.

The very hot weather is no doubt the great cause for the falling off

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
CAMBRIDGE AND ORFORD.
A Select Committee on the above Bill met for the irst time, at
eleven o'clock, in Room A, New Houses of Parliament ; Lord Mary-
borough in the chair.
Mr. Sergeant Witazionam opened the case for the promoters of the
Bill at considerable length.

EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (STRATH-
ERN DEVIATION AND DUNFERMLINE
BRANCH).

This Committee having, on Thursday last, adjourned till to-day,
in order to give time for the settlement of some matters among the
agents for and against the Bill, met again to-day at eleven o'cloek, in
Boom No. 6 (Committee-rooms in Abingdon-street) ; Lord Port-
man in the chair.
Mr. HOPE opened the case for the promoters, and Mr. Granger
gave the usual engineering evidence, which was corroborated by Mr.
Hawkshavir.

GLASGOW, BARRNEA.D, AND NEXLSTON

(PAISLEY BRANCH).
This Committee met again at twelve o'clock this morning, in
Room B (New Rouses of Parliament), Earl Roden in the chair, and
present the Marquis of Ormonde, and Earls Verulam, Kingston, and
Effingham.

They were occupied for a considerable time with the clauses of the

DROSSAN,

The preamble of which was, It will be remembered, passed on
Thursday, the Committee having adjourned till today, to give time
for as arrangement among the patties.

HOUSE OF COMMONS,
GROUP XIV.
This Committee met again this =ming in room No. 29 ; Mr.
Protheroe in the chair.

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. The 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 short consultation strangers
were re-admitted, when
The CUAISMAN 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 thLs Bill.

This Bill was then re-committed. It win 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
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 cost of the line with this alteration was
estimated at 800,0001.
This closed the labour. of the Committee.

GROUP XX.
The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock in Room :co. 31
(Grand Corridor). Present, Mr. Sotheron (chairman), Lord William
Bentinek, Mr. Pigott, Mr. Toured, and Mr. Ross.
They resumed the consideration of the

SURREY IRON RAILWAY (DISSOLVING).
Additional evidence was received in support of the petitions
against the dissolution. The object of this evidence was chiefly to
show the amount of injury which the petitioners would sustain by
the abandonment of the line.

The CHAIRMAN observed that it was needless to go into details of
the amount of injury, as that would be a queLtion for the arbitrator,
if the Lommittee should ultimately come to the opinion that the peti-
tioners were entitled to any compensation at all,

The Committee on this GROUP XXXI ll.group met this day at twelve o'clock, in
Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor). Present Sir Robert Ferguson (chair-
man), the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollett, and
Mr. Fellowes.
They proceeded with the Warwickshire and London Railways
(three branches).

WORCESTER AND WEEDON,
HAMPTON AND ASHCHURCH,
HAMPTON AND 33.aNDUELY.
Mr. WHATELEY, Q.C., for the opposing landowners, put in additional
evidence against the Bill.
Mr. Williams, brother-In-law, and land agent to Lord Willoughby
do Broke, stated that the Hampton and Banbury line would pass
through the Noble Lord's property, to which it would be absolutely
destructive. The chief value of the property was in its ornamental
character, which the proposed railway would altogether annihilate.
Other valuable property, within the limits of the line, would be
similarly damaged. Witness was secretary to the Warwickshire
Hunt, and he knew that the sporting gentlemen of the county were
greatly cpposed to the Hampton and Banbury line, and as much in
favour of the Birmingham and Oxford. The general opinion waq,
that the latter railway, by a short line from Fenny Compton to
Warwick, would meet all the wants of the company, without inter-
fering injuriously with private property.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF Musrc —The students
of this institution gave their fourth concert on Saturday
morning, in the Hanover-square Rooms, which were very
fully attended. The scheme comprised a great variety of
compositions from the works of the established masters, be-
sides three movements of a MS. symphony, by Mr. Henry
Wylde, a member of the academy, and a young musician of
considerable ability and promise. Of the movements per-
formed the andante was the most attractive; the subject in
B flat recalled the slow movement of Beethoven's second
symphony, but it was melodiously and cleverly treated. A
duet of Beethoven's for piano and horn displayed much ca-
pability in the performers on each instrument, Mr. Baly and
Mr. E. Harper, son of the well-known trumpet player. Mr.
H. Hill, pupil of Mr. Sainton, conferred high credit both on
his preceptor and himself by his excellent performance of an
adagio and rondo of De Beriot. A number of vocal compo-
sitions, concerto and solo, were sustained by Misses Cheesman,
Stewart, Bridle, D'Ernst, Ransford, A. Romer, Salmon, Solo-
mon, and Duval; Messrs. Herbert, Wetterbee, and Weeks,
with great credit to the method of vocal instruction exhibited
in the Academy. Mr. Lucas conducted the orchestra, which
was less remarkable for numbers than efficiency. Mr. Sainton
was at his post as principal violin, and Mr, Hill as principal
tenor.
SUICIDE OF MR. S. BUTLER.—OD Saturday evening
an inquest was held at the Cathedral Hotel, St. Paul's-
churchyard, before Mr. William Payne, City coroner, on
view of the body of Mr. Samuel Butler, aged twenty-three,
the son of Mr. Butler, chemist, St. Paul's-churchyard, who
poisoned himself with prussic acid. Mr. John Harding said
that about eleven o'clock that morning he was informed that
the deceased, who was in his room, had been called, and
that no admission could be obtained. Witness went to the
room, and while he was there his father came up. The
door was forced open, upon which the deceased was found
lying on his bed, with a phial grasped in his hand. Was not
aware of anything that was likely to disturb his mind. Mr.
Thomas Butler, deceased's father, said that his unfortunate
son had formed a strong attachment to a young lady, to whom
he had proposed that he should be married. Deceased came
to witness, a few days ago, who was at Brighton, to get his
consent, when he advised a delay for a short time. On Mon-
day last, he (deceased) saw the father of the young lady, and
stated to him what had been his (witness's) propositions, to
which the father of the young lady expressed himself agree-
able. He wrote to the young lady, wishing her to see him
that evening. Deceased received her answer on Friday, but
which has been torn into very minute parts. That letter
contained no syllable of an unpleasant nature. Witness is of
opinion that the thought of the delay may have produced a
temporary excitement. Deceased was of a placid disposition.
Witness thought he was rather too young, andthe lady
father
much under his years. Witness and the young lady's

Since this day se'nnight the arrival of country-killed Meat up to
our markets have been, considering the prevailing warm weather,
good, and of very superior quality. The supplies slaughtered in the
metropolis have been seasonably extensive. Prime Mutton has been
in steady request, at full rates of currency. In all other kinds of
Meat exceedingly little has been doing, and the quotations have had
a downward tendency. Several carcases of foreign Beasts and Sheep
have appeared on sale.
