Mr. HODGSON HINDE depreeated the course pur-
sued by the Chairman in charging parties with base
motives. He considered that the proper course for the
proprietors to pursue would be to let the present direc-
tors remain in office for another month, and then have
another meeting, during which time the proxies might
be properly examined.—(Cries of "No, no.") He
asserted that the interests of the Caledonian Railway
Company had been sacrificed to the Edinburgh and
Glasvow Railway Company—the negotiations between
Air. Blackburn, the chairman of that company, had
ended in nothing but buying paace at any price, and
he had no doubt that a similar result would take place
in any negotiations with the Nithsdale Company, and
that the chairman of this company would find
tile chairman of that company more than a
match for him in negotiations.—(Hear, hear.)
Ile deprecated the course pursued by the Chairman
with respect to what he had stated relative to his
negotiations with some of the London and North-
-Western proprietors; as he locked upon it as little
less than an attempt to pack the board of directors.—
(Hear, hear.) If any of the present directors could
show to him that by their re-election they could re-
duce the guarantees he would be one of the first to
support their re-election.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. FAWCETT said he did not intend to
say one word in reply to any of the
observations which had fallen from the
Chairman, because they were there for business, and
not for recrimination.—(Hear.) He had an amend-
ment to propose which would meet the difficulty of
their position, and that would be the beat reply to the

BLANC.
We have received the following
dent at Chamonix, which will be read with interest
by all who are acquainted with what Byron calls"
the Monarch of Mountains," and the difficulties
which beset the adventurous traveller in attempting its
ascent :—" Having observed in your Messenger of
Sept. 5 a communication relative to an ascent of Mont
Blanc, I take the liberty of correcting a slight error con-
tained in it, and of adding a few observations. Since
1847, no effort of the ascension cf Mont Blanc bad
been crowned with success. Early in the present
season a fruitless attempt had been made, and on the
6th of August the Duke of Genoa, brother of the pre-
sent King of Sardinia, accompanied by a corps of 22
guides, resolved on attacking the giant of the Alps ;
he is an excellent walker, of light muscular build.
Having traversed without accident the yawning cre-
vices of the Glaciers des Bossons and the Tacounaz, the
party arrived the first evening at the small ledge of
rock of the Grande Mulets, a solitary island in the
midst of an icy ocean. Here they prepared to pass
the night; unfortunately, a change of weather came
on, and during the whole period they were exposed
almost without shelter to the pelting of an awful
and ceaseless snow storm. In the morning, as no
signs of clearing up appeared, they were compelled
reluctantly to descend in a sad state from cold and j

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 27.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a good inquiry for West
India Sugar for home trade purposes, and the rates paid
in some cases exceed those of Friday last by 6d per cwt.
The limited supply, however, checked business, and
caused sales to be confined to 676 hhds., &c., making the
operations for the week 2,112 hhds., &c.
REFINED.—To-day there was no further advance for
Refined Sugar, but a good demand existed, and brown
lumps were not to be obtained under 50s. For Crushed
there is a firm market; British at 29s to 30s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with reudy buyers, and the public sales of 4,876 bags
went at an advance of 61 per cwt, fine yellow selling at
408 to 425, mid to good 37. 6d to 39s 6d, ord 36s 6d to
37., fine brown 35s 3d to 36., mid to good 338 6d to 355,
grey from 368 to 39 a, grainy yellow 383 6d to 41s 6d,
brown ditto 355 to 38s, low 33s 6d to 34s 6d.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon several parcels of Ben-
gal and Madras sold partly at stiffer rates. At auction
43 bags of the former realised 34s for ordinary yellow.

FOREIGN.—Td•day there was no public Baia of Fo-
reign Sugar, but privately sales are upon a larger scale
at stiff rates. Of brown Bahia three cargoes have been
sold at 20s to 29s 9d, and 3,000 chests brown and yel-
low Havannah, but the prices have not transpired; also
a cargo of yellow
paid.
Havannah at 40s for Nv. 12, duty

THE• LIVERPOOL AND ISLE OF MAN STEAMERS.
The Admiralty lave, it is said, sent c rders to the Isle of Man
Steam-packet Company, directing that the mail steamers
shall leave Liverpool during the winter at eight o'clock in
the morning of the days of sailing, and return from Douglas
at ten o'clock in the morning. If the Admiralty knew any-
thing of Douglas Bay they would not issue an order which
it is impossible to obey.—Liverpool Mercury.

MozAssEs.—Previous rates are sustained for West
India, there being no increase of supply, but the private
operations are upon a small scale at 13s 6d to 16s for
common and fine West India, and at 11s 6d to 126 6d for
Bengal and Mauritius.
