milted some propositions, which he afterwards with-
drew in favour of Dr. Bowring's amendment.
Some further discussion occurred, from which it ap-
peared that by converting the caution money into
Spanish stock, some 10,000/. would be zaved ; that if
they proceeded, the 30,000/. would be available for the
construction of the first section; and one shareholder
inquired if they could pay in Spanish " bonds," which
excited some merriment, but no response from the
chairman.

The report was received.
Dr. Bowring's amendment was then put and carried,
and a vote of thanks having been awarded to the Chair-
man and directors, the meeting broke up.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of October 20.)
&MAR.—To-day the market presented a firm appearance
for all kinds of Raw Sugar available for home consumption;
the trade being inclined to get further supplied, in conse-
quence of a report gaining ground that sugar is to be allowed
to be used without restriction in the distilleries and brew-
eries. There was a good desire evinced to operate in all
kinds of West India Muscoradoe for refining and grocery
purposes, but merchants insisting on an advance on the rates
of Friday of Gd, tended to operate against business.
REFINED.— To-day refined goods were largely dealt in by
the home trade, and further advanced rates were paid—
indeed, the supply at market is nearly exhausted. Brown
grocery lumps fetched 63s Gd to 61s, and standard lumps 6.5 s
to 65s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar can be easily obtained at
33s for first quality, but to-day very little business was done.
111Aunprfus.—All descriptions have been in increased re-
quest, and although the market has been much better sup-
plied, still holders in some cases have succeeded in obtaining
stiffer rates for the parcels disposed of privately. 6,402 bags
at public sale were all sold.
E.tsr INDLt.—This afternoon there were s;x public sales
of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 5,175 bags; the trade were
desirous to operate, and nearly the whole sold at full rates,
indeed the better kinds with grain in some cases went 6d per
cwt. dearer.

FOREIGN.—The home demand has fallen off from all kinds
of Havannah Sugar, and at decline in the value of 6d to is
per cwt. has taken place, the market having been more freely
supplied. Privately there has been little passing, and at
auction a part only of 1,610 chests and 501113(15 of yellow found
buyers. Brazil is offered upon rather lower terms, but little
business has been done privately in any kind, and at public
sale 91 chests of Bahia only partly found buyers at easier
rates. Porto Rico is less wanted, and a fall, in the value of
64 per cwt has occurred for good and fine yellow, and is per
cwt for all inferior and brown kinds, but WO bhdip Ri 150
