Your Committee, having' now disposed of most of the
Railway Bills referred to them, have arrived at the considera-
tion of the various railways which it is proposed should ter-
minate in, and in the immediate vicinity of, the metropolis.
After mature deliberation, your Committee have resolved,
before classifying these Bills, to call the attention of the
House to their more than ordinary importance, and the very
serious effects which they are likely to produce in various
ways on the condition of the metropolis.
Your Committee are of opinion that this is a subject
which, for many considerations, it would be expedient to re-
fer to a Royal Commission, and have directed their chairman
so to report, and at the same time to state the rounds on
which they have come to this conclusion. They crave
farther instructions in this matter.
The Railway Bills to which your Committee more imme-
diately refer are as follows :
Eastern Counties (Tottenham and Farringdon-street).
London and South-Western (Extension to London-bridge).
South-Eastern («Waterloo-road to Greenwich).
East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction.
Charing-cross Bridge.
North Kent (City Extension).

The arrivals of Englift Wheat for our market still continue on a
moderate scale. • The stands were scantily filled with samples, hence
the demand was again steady, at fully Monday's quotations. Free
Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was uncommonly small, moved
off steadily, and prices were well supported. Corn under lock a
slow inquiry. The best Malting Barley was quite as dear. In other
kinds very little business was transacted. Malt, Oats, Beans, Fees,
and Flour were unaltered in value.
