ST. LAWRENCE AND ATLANTIC

RAILWAY COMPANY.

A special meeting of the scripholders in this Company
took place yesterday, at the George and Vulture Tavern, to
consider a communication received from the directors in
Canada. It appears that the English shareholders are
anxious that the concern should be wound up, while the
Canadians are determined to carry out the objects for which
the Company was formed.
An intimation having been conveyed to the Canadian
directors of the wishes of the English shareholders, that body
replied that they were very sorry that they were unable to
comply with the wishes of those anxious to wind up the
concern ; and they advised that the shareholders should take
measures to have themselves represented at a meeting to be
held in Montreal next month.

Several of the shareholders repudiated the Canadian directors,
and said that they would hold the provisional committee re-
sponsible to them, for it was under the strength of their names
that they had been induced to take shares; while the pro-
visional committee said that they were only acting in a minis-
terial capacity, and not accountable for the windily, up of the
concern, and were consequently unable to return the deposits.
The meeting broke up without coming to any formal reso-
lution. It appears that the deposits were 41. a share, and
that the shares, instead of being allotted to the number of
47,000, as was put forward in the prospectus, had been limited
to 7,000.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of June 23.)

SUGAR.—To-day there was a falling off in the demand for raw
Sugar for home consumption, and prices assumed a downward ten-
dency, and the unsettled state of the Sugar duties caused buyers to be
cautious in their proceedings.
REFINED —To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution by
the home trade, but we have little variation to notice in prices.
MADRlTlUS.—lmporters have been unable to obtain any further
advarce in prices, and the market has been more freely supplied,
but the demand has been good for all descriptions, and the rates paid
have been equal to those of this day week.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar,
amounting to 4,690 bags, were submitted to public competition ; the
trade were less inclined to operate, and the rates taken were 6d to Is
ear cwt under those that previously prevailed.
FOREION.—The market has a firm appearance for all descriptions,
and the quantity brought forward has been small. Brown Brazil has
been in excellent request, and the rates paid have been rather above
those that previously existed. In white a fair business has been
transacted, and prices are still rising. At auction, 79 cases 11 boxes
of Bahia were disposed of. In yellow Havannah an extensive busi-
ness is prevented by the reluctance of holders to sell ; the prices
offered are above those that previously prevailed. White has been
sold to a fair extent. _ .

COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with attention, and
640 bags at auction went 6d per cwt higher. Mocha was in less de-
mand, and 200 bales at auction only in part sold at full prices.
MOLassEs.—A good demand has been experienced for West India,
but any further advance in prices has been prevented by the markets
having been better supplied.
TEA.—To-day there was a brisker demand for Tea, but holders
were unable to obtain any advance in prices, the regular market
value of common sound Congou cash is 9y04, and ordinary Ilyson
2s per lb.
SPICES.—This afternoon at pubic sale 1,476 bags I 8 casks of Af-
rican Ginger were sold at an advance on former rates of is to Is 64 ;
African Pod Pepper went at 86s for good sound, and at 41s to 72s
for damaged. With Black the market was better supplied.
Spiaivs.—Jamaica Ruin has been disposed of to a fair extent at full
rates ; but the better kinds have been the most in request. Leeward
Island is still wanted, and prices remain firm, there not being a large
quantity on offer. Calcutta has been purchased with increased free-
dom ; holders evince firmness. Demerara has been in fair re-
quest at full prices, strong sorts fetching 3s to 3s 4d per gallon.
There has been a better demand for old descriptions of Brandy,
and somewhat better prices have been obtained ; but new sorts are
still heavy of disposal, and further reduced prices have been taken.
In Geneva purchases were made at 2s to 2s ld fi,r common export
sorts, and 2s 4d to 3s for fine and veryllne for home consumption.
For British Corn Spirits prices are sustained.
RlCE.—This afternoon Bengal Rice was in excellent request, and
2,364 bags 1,000 pockets at auction all found buyers, in some in-
stances at 3d per cwt advance.
SALTPETEE.—To-day there was a strong desire evinced to pur-
chase Rough. and 2,824 bags Calcutta at auction were all sold at
very full rates. The value of English Refined is 29s to 29s 6d. Ni-
trate of Soda is little wanted, and can be obtained at 13s 6d to 14s
per cwt.
INDIGO.—This afternoon at public sale 300 serons Guatemala indigo
were offered, the inferior sorts fully maintainee previous rates, the
other descriptions must be quoted from par to 2d lower.
COCIHNEAL.—This afternoon c.,chineal met with little attention—
at public sale 88 bags Honduras ouly in part sold, at former rates.
Oits.—This afternoon Southern Oil at public sale went at easier
rates, low to good quality selling at 22/ Iss to 231155, fine 24/;
100 tuns were offered. Sperm went at lower prices, 30 tuns fetching
761 to 781 for flue quality.

TALLOW.—Although there are sellers of Russian on the spot upon
further reduced terms, still soap-makers and chandlers have operated
with much caution. For forward delivery the demand does not im-
prove. For home made prices are still drooping, the supply being
very large. In other kinds of Tallow there has been little business
transacted, and the tendency of prices is still downwards.
