AND LEICESTEIL.

The thrther investigation of this scheme was proceeded with this
morning by the Committee, who did not assemble till one hour after
their usual time of meeting.
Mr. Ellison, a civil engineer, was the first witness called, and
corroborated the engineering evidence that was given before the
Committee yesterday.
Mr. Hairs, of Leicester, deposed as to the value of the land that
would be required for the purposes of the railway, and stated that the
cost of the land would not exceed the amount set down in the
estimate.

With the last witness, the case for the promoters was finisla.d.
Mr. CALVEAT, on behalf of the promoters, said that he had to state
to the Committee that he proposed to amend the preamble by with-
drawing that portion of that portion of the line which was net in-
eluded in the commtuncation between Nuneaton and Wigston.
The t;,rmel proofs of assents and dissents were then put in.
Mr. M. I). HILL, on the part of severel landowners on the line,
wished to propose some alterations in the clauses, and to introduce
Clew clauses ; and a discussion ensued, which occupied the attention
of the Committee till tke hour of rising.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 29.)

SvcAn.—To-day buyers of West Indian Sugar were induced to
operate with more freedom in consecuence of merchants again sub-
mitting to rather lower rates, and a gool business was transacted,
but chiefly by the refiners, the quantity sold amonnting to 650 bids.

ItErnsEn.—To-day prices underwent no alteration for Refined
Goods, but the home trade operated with caution. In bonded
Crushed Sugar a large business has bean transacted, and 325. per
cwt is the value of first quality with a firm market.
Mararrics —This afternoon importers of Mauritius Sugar were
disposed to sell, and offered 9,286 ba_s 30 casks at public sale, the
whole sold, but the rates taken were in some cases rather under
those that previously prevailed.
EAST Irsoia.--For white and yellow Bengal rather lower rates
having been taken, has occasioned the demand to be good, and pri-
vately several parcels have been disposed of. The genuine Dolesll
sorts are held for 50s to &s, but there has been only a limited busi-
ness transacted by private treaty this week. Of Madras there being
little in the market, prices remain much the same as previously
quoted, but few purchases have been made privately, and none has
been offered at auction. Of Foreign East India prices still rule above
those of other descriptions of Sugar admissible for home consumption.
FOREIGN.—There has generally been more activity in the market
for Foreign Sugar this week, but at present little improvement has
taken place in prices.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation chiefly sold, bt holders were
compelled to take previous reduced prices. Mocha is neglected, and
378 bales 252 half bales were all taken in—middling at 545, good mid-
ling green long bean 58s, good Gas, bold triage 425, black 12s, Gd a
14s 5, and good pea berry Gss per cwt, being about the former value.
MOLASSES.—AII kinds of West India have been much in demand,
and advanced rates are again paid. Bengal Treacle has been In good
request, and prices are stil rising. Honey of common quality is still
much in demand, and fetches full rates.
COCOA—holders of British Plantation evince firmness, and still
refrain from offering any at auction, purchases to a fair extent have
been made privately, and full rates are given.
TEA.— Prices of the inferior sorts of Congou are rather higher than
they were in 1845 at this time; but the better kinds are lower by
11-,,,d to 2,Xtd ; Twankay of all sorts by ld to 5d ; Ilyson 5d to Is.
Imperial Gunpowder by 4d to s per lb.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice met with little attention, and 3087 bags,
500 pockets at auction were only in part sold at barely funnel* rates.
SPlCES,—Although prices rule for low black Pepper, still the de
wand privately has been limited from exporters and the home trade
this week. The Stock and arrivals are much under those of last
year, and prices are as low as they were at that time. There is
still a large supply of Nutmegs, and the demand being limited, the
prices taken exhibit a small decline ou those previously quoted.
SPIRITi.—An increased damand has prevailed for Leeward Island
Runs this week, and buyers have been compelled to pay a further
advance in prices. Calcutta has been in much better demand. and
stiffer rates ere paid. Jamaica has been purchased with more free-
dom, upon former terms. Demerrra has been in good demand, and
brought better prices. The Brandy market has a very dull appear-
ance, and prices are nearly nominal.
