give an opinion. Some idea, however, may be formed when
we state that several hundred yards of the embankment and
a temporary sea walling was swept away, and sixteen or
eighteen waggons, besides trucks and barrows, severely
injured. Some of the waggons were found at low water
mark, others were embedded in the mud, and a great number
of tools are said to be lost. 'This part of the line has from
the first bees deemed by persons acquainted with the locality
is impracticable as an attempt to control the tide. The
chief engineer, notwithstanding, thought differently, having,
as we have been given to understand by a gentleman likely
to know, drawn his conclusion from the fact of an old ruin
known as the Salt Pans, which is situated near the spot,
having preserved its present appearance for a number of years.
The intention of carrying the line this way it seems is now
abandoned, and a new one will be formed further in shore.
This project will be attended with an expense little anticipa-
ted by the shareholders at the commencement of the under-
taking.— Whttehaven Herald.

rected not to leave them without payment ; but, being told
that Mrs. Locke, or one of her sons, would call and pay his
master, he left them at the house. He had called at the
house several times, but Mrs. Locke was denied, and he had
been unable to obtain the money.
A policeman, who had searched the defendant's house,
proved that he had found three pairs of boots belonging to
Mr. Cawthorpe. [ln the course of the proceedings the re-
maining four pair of boots were brought to the court by a
younger son of the female prisoner.]
Mrs. Locke said she had no intention of defrauding Mr.
Cawthorpe, and that she had gone to his house to ask for
credit for a week, as her husband was short of money.
Mr. BOND released the defendants on their promising to
attend at the Court on Saturday, to meet this or any other
charge.

SALTPETRE.—There has been only a limited demand, and
Bengal (1,514 bags) was taken in mostly at 265, for 31b re-
fraction.

COTTON.—This article has heed dull.
TEA. —There has been a firm market, and the business
doing is steady.
INnlGo.—Large public sales are coming on next Tuesday,
and this checks private business.
Tonacco.—There has been a steady market during the
last two or three weeks, but the sales have not exceeded 700
hhds and trcs.

I-Wm.—Clean is 28s 10d per cwt.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 41s 6d per cwt, and Town 43s 6d. The
stock on the Ist was 10,910 casks, and the delivery last
month was 8,989 casks.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 3.)
SUGAIL—To-day there was a larger business transacted in
all descriptions of West India Sugar, in consequence of mer-
chants accepting previous rates, and 1,100 hhds were actu-
ally disposed of, making the total sales for the week 5,080
hhds and tres, being a very extensive quantity. Prices
closed generally the same as on Friday last.
REFINED.—An extensive demand has existed for Refined
Sugar for home consumption since Friday last; the low and
middling descriptions have brought stiffer rates, whilst the
better qualities 'fully support the former currency. There is
only a limited quantity of goods on show.
MAURITIUS.--This afternoon 2,760 bags and 156 casks of
Mauritius Sugar were offered at public sale ; the chief part
consisted of inferior sorts under 46s per cwt, mid only fit for
refining purposes ; for these the demand was limited, and the
prices taken exhibited a decline of is per cwt, but the better
kinds fetched former rates.

FORElGN.—Although there are sellers of Yellow Havan-
nah upon rather lower terms, still the amount of business
transacted by private treaty has been limited in all qualities.
For White the market has a dull appearance, and by private
treaty there are sellers at easier rates. Brown Brazil is little
wanted by our refiners working under bond, and for exporta-
tion there are few orders. Of White Brazil none has; been
submitted to public competition ; there are sellers privately
under late rates, but few buyers are to be met with.
Porto Rico has been purchased with caution by private
treaty at 235. Muscovado has met with little attention.
Public sales are expected to be announced shortly. At ihe
continental markets prices are not so firm for Foreign Sugar.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was better sup-
plied with all descriptions of Bengal Sugar; three parcels,
amounting to 3,736 bags, were submitted to public competi-
tion ; of these 702 bags consisted of Dobah kind, and went
at the full value.
MOLASSES.—A lively demand 'has been experienced for
West India, and very fall rates have been paid; the sales
amount to 700 puns.
TEA.—The market has a firm appearance for Black and
Green, although arrivals continue on a large scale, and have
amounted to 21,829 packages at this port since this day
week, yet merchants have confidence, and again refrained
from offering any at public sale. The quantity upon which
duty was paid at this port during the past week amounted
to 475,3931b5.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon was purchased with cau-
tion by private treaty, but holders were firm ; 299 bags at
auction were only partly sold at the former value, viz., very
good ordinary at 48s to 48s 6d; country damaged first class
455 6d to 475, sea damaged second and third class 43s 6d to
44s 6d, a good ordinary pale sound was taken in at 47s •, 303
bags of Padang went 2s per cwt cheaper, and sold at 24s 6d
to 25s for good ordinary green, and one lot 245; 5 pkgs of
Jamaica fetched 60s for the ordinary, 49s for good ordinary,
ad 32s to 38s per cwt for triage.
COCOA.—This afternoon at public sale 13 bags of Bahia
sold at 42s for good bright red, and 38s per cwt for sea
damaged.
RICE.—To-day there was more business doing privately in
Bengal Rice at 19s to 22s ; and at public sale 659 bags 446
pockets sold at fully former rates. The market has a firm
appearance for cleaned; 23s to 26s is the value of Patna, and
36s to 40s per cwt for Carolina.
SPICES.—This afternoon at public sale 50 bags Batavia
Pepper fetched 2%cl to 3d. 113 bags of White went rather
higher. Eight cases of Mace fetched the full value. Nut-
megs are purchased with eagerness, and prices advanced 6d.
FRUIT.—New Valentia Raisins continue to be taken off
freely at the opening price of 435. Of new Patras Currants
there is none remaining, the last cargo having been cleared
off at 495, and at present are much wanted. Of new Turkey
Pulled Figs a large part of the only parcel as yet arrived re-
mained unsold, and the price was reduced to 655. For new
Sultanas there is no demand, the price, being extravagantly
high. Of Red Smyrna Raisins some sales have been made,
but at very low rates. •
SPIRITS.—An increased desire has been shown to purchase
Jamaica Rum this week ; there has been an extensive de-
mand for every description principally for home consumption,
and the rates paid exhibit an advance on those quoted of ld to
Sd per gallon. Leeward Island has been purchased with
increased freedom, and an advance in the value of ld per
gallon has occurred. For Demerara a good demand has
existed, and stiffer rates are given. Calcutta has been sought
after, and commands stiffer rates. In all descriptions of
Brandy a good deal has been done, but at no further advance
in prices. Geneva is wanted, and prices rule high.
INDIGO.—The accounts received to-day from Calcutta are
very unfavourable for the crop, it having been much injured
by the excessive wet weather, the estimates being as low as
110,000 to 120,000 maunds ; holders here, in consequence, dis-
played more firmness, and buyers were more inclined to operate.
Of Bengal some parcels were disposed of at an advance on
the rates of July of 2d to 3d per lb.
OlLS.—This afternoon, of Southern Oil, 50 tuns at public
sale were mostly taken in, fine at 261 15s to 27155, good 251
108 to 26/, low and middling 24/ to 251; 28 hhds Ceylon
Cocoa Nut Oil sold at 32/ to 33/ for good, and 30/ per tun
for low.

TALLOW. —This afternoon at public sale 629 casks of
Taganrog Tallow, stranded, sold at 39s to 40s 3d, one lot
378 9d ; 115 pipes of South American 38s 3d to 40s 9d ; 113
casks New South Wales 38s to 40s 9d per cwt.
