MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of ;Sept. 26.)
SUGAR.—To-day all descriptions of West India Musco-
vado Sugar were in excellent request for the use of grocers
and refiners; there was more doing for the ontports, and in
consequence of the firmness of the merchants, buyers were
compelled to pay stiffer rates, so that prices are now the same
as they were on Friday last.
REFINED.—To-day refined goods were only in brisk re-
quest by the home trade, brown Lumps at 64s Gd to 65s 6d,
and standard Lumps 66s to 675. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
offered at the reduced rates of 40s to 40s 6d per cwt for first
sorts.

equal to those of the last public sale • the sorts the most
wanted were the low and middling yellow at from 47s to 50s
per cwt.

description. For good ordihary pale Ceylon 478 to 48s per
cwt are however asked.
TEA.—For Congou holders are unable to obtain any
further advance, but the demand has been excellent for
all descriptions. In Pouchong there has been a good deal
doing at 5d to 10d, according to quality, but cleat sorts from
6d to 9d per lb are the most in esteem. For Twankay the
demand is increasing, and prices are rising. For Hyson no
further improvement in prices has occurred. Young Hyson
has been sold to a large extent, at 9d to is 10d, and better
sorts at 2s to 3s Bd. Of Hyson, some parcels sold at late
rates. Gunpowder is wanted, but holders are willing sellers.

demand has been experienced. Caper sells more freely at
slightly improved rates. For Orange Pekoe the demand has
been brisker.

Sago, and several parcels were sold privately at stiff rates ;
110 Chests at auction went 2s per cwt above former rates.
Sago flour is wanted, but higher rates being asked, checked
business, end 250 bags at public sale were taken in at 21s for
good middling good colour, being above the value.
RICE.—To-day the market presented a dull appearance for
all sorts of Rice; 19s to 20s 6d have been accepted privately
for low to mid white Bengal, and 21s to 22s for good and
fine. Since this day week several parcels have arrived.
Fnum—All the recent arrivals a New Valencia Raisins
has been sold at 435. For New Patras Currants higher

wanted. For Pimento much inquiry has existed, and buyers
are compelled to pay stiff rates. For Cassia Lignea former rates
ear asked. For Jamie a Ginger there has been a brisker demand.
Cloves are held with firmness, but there is a pause in the de-
mand. The better qualities of Cinnamon are yet wanted at
last sales rates. Nutmega met with attention, and 32 cases
7 casks at auction were all sold at rather higher rates. Mace
is wanted, and 12 cases 5 casks at public sale brought stiffer

West Indies. For the better qualities of Jamaica a good de-
mand has been experienced, and full rates given. Leward

and 2s 7d to 2s 9d for fine fit for duty. British Corn Spirits
are in good demand at lOs 2d per gallon, nett cash.
INDIGO.—The market has still a very dull appearance for
East India, there having been scarcely any demand since our
last report from exporters and the home trade, and last sales
rates are not obtainable. The quantity announced for public
competition on the 7th of October has been increased to
17,989 chests.

SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough submitting to rather
lower rates has occasioned a good business to be transacted
privately. In English Refined a good deal has been done at
28s for large, and at 2Fs Gd per cwt for small casks. For
Nitrate of Soda prices are firm.
SIIELLAC.—An improved demand has at length taken place
for this article; an extensive business has been transacted

given. Lac Dye has been purchased more freely.
TAR is much wanted, and in consequence of the scanty
supply a further advance in prices has taken place. ' Spirits
of Turpentine have been purchased more freely. Rough is in
good demand. _

On.s.—Although there are sellers of Southern Oil at lower
rates, still the demand by private contract has been limited
from exporters and the home trade. Seal has been pur-
chased with caution and prices are drooping. The business
transacted in Cod has been trifling ; the tendency of prices is
Sperm Oil is not so much in request, but full rates are
insisted upon. Although Linseed Oil can be purchased 6d
per cwt under previous rates ; still the demari,cl from the
home trade continues to be limited; there are few ex-
port purchasers, and the contracts entered into for forward
delivery have been trifling. Rape Oil has been sold to some
extent. Palm is wanted, and prices rule firm. For Cocoa
Nut late rates are asked, but there has been less doing
privately. Olive Oil has been in good demand, and holders
show firmness. Lard Oil is worth 421 to 43/, and Ground
Nut Oil 301 to 311 per tun.
TALLOW.--This afteruoon at public sale 187 casks New

South Wales were sold—fine 42s 9d to 435, good 41s to

soap Tallow 38s 9d to 39s 3d per cwt.

OLDHAM.--THE FACTORY HANDS AND THEIR EM-
PLOYERS.—We are glad to hear that the factory hands of
this town have invited their employers to a tea-party and
ball, the object of which they state in their address to be,
"to return to them their most sincere and heartfelt thanks
for the liberal manner in which they have acceded to their re-
quest fur an advance of wages." The festival is fixed for
Monday next, and the operatives request the favour of a half-
holiday on that day. We trust that the effect of this meet-
mg may be to cement the good feeling which now exists be-
tween masters and men.—Manchester Guardian.

STATISTICS OF BRITISH SHIPWRECKS.—A writer
in the New Quarterly Review states that the average number
of wrecks of British merchant-ships a year is 600. The
average sum lost, above two millions and a half sterling.
The average of lives lost, the lamentable number of 1,560.
The wrecks of fifteen out of every twenty ships are attribut-
able to some incompetency or other on the part of the master.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

READING AND RETGATE.

Giriimono, URSDAY. —On Monday the leading inha-
bitants of the borough signed a requisition to the Mayor, for
a public meeting of the inhabitants, to consider the propriety
of promoting the line proposed to be made from Reading to
Reigate, passing through: Dorking and Guildford, and
with branches to Farnham and Alton, of which Mr. Giles is
engineer.
The meeting was held yesterday aft'rnoon in the Council
Chamber of the Town Hall, the Mayor presiding.
Mr. F. MANGLES addressed the meeting in favour of Mr.
Giles's scheme, which he described as being the best calcu-
lated to advance the interests of the town and neighbourhood,
and consequently the most deserving of support. The pro-
jectors bad employed Mr. Giles to survey the country to dis-
cover which would be the best route, because that gentleman
had in his previous engagement done what he had promised,
namely, given the public the best possible line with the least
expense, and had constructed it within the estimates. He
concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that the
meeting pledged itself to support Mr. Giles's Company as
being the most likely to carry a line from Reading to Reigate
into execution.

Mr. CIIF2iNELL wished to know what was the route in-
tended to be taken through the town by the rival schemes?
He understood that one talked of passing by the eastern side.
Mr. MANGLES replied that the South-Western Company
were going to tunnel through the shoulder of the hill at the
bottom of the town, and that advantage would be taken
of that to get through from the north to the east side of the
town.

The CHAIRMAN said that he had seen the plan by the
other party, but it was but a rough sketch. In it the line
was to pass the north side of the town.
Mr. MAnssiku, said, that to get through the hills at the
east end of the town would cost snore money than thewhole
of the rest of the line.

Mr. CIIENNELL thought they ought to have another meet-
ing, and know for a certainty through what parts of the
town the lines would pass. They had no person to tell them
anything about the other line, and it would be ridiculous to
pledge themselves without really knowing what they were
doing.
Mr. PRICE entered into similar arguments at some length.
. .

Mr MARSHALL contended that they ought to come to an
immediate decision as to the merits of the plan, for if they de-
layed the question, another railway from Reading to Reigate,
leaving Guildford out altogether, might get such a start as
would render it a struggle whether Guildford were to have
the advantage of a communication east and west at all.
The resolution was seconded. and having been put by the
Mayor, every hand in the room but two or three was held
up m its favour.
A resolution was next passed that petitions should be got'
up in its favour, and that the representatives of the borough
be requested to support the one addressed to the House of
Commons.

TIIE WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE.—PONTE-
FRACT, THURSDAY.—The first general meeting of the pro-
prietors of this railway was held yesterday, in the Town-hall,
Pontefract. The chair was taken by Dr. Buchanan, the
chairman of the company, who called upon the :Yecretary to
read the report, which stated that the shares for the Methley
extension would be 25/. each, in the proportion of one for
every original 50/. share; that the new stock for the Great
Grimsby and Sheffield and Wakefield, and Pontefract and
Goole Junction is to be raised in the proportion of two-thirds
by the Grimsby, and one-third by the Wakefield and Goole
Company, the latter in shares of 201. each, in the proportion
of one for every original share, which will be issued without
delay. The contracts were within the Parliamentary esti-
mates, and the works are proceeding satisfactorily. Reso-
lutions, apportioning a salary of 2001. a year to the secretary,
7501. to the Directors; also 50 new 25/. shares as a gift to the
secretary for his valuable services, and 25 to each of the
six Directors. A procession was formed after the meeting,
which was headed by R. R. Dlilnes, Esq., the father of
Monckton Milnes, M.P., the poet, who raised the first sod in
a field at Tanhelf, near the Castleford-road. A great number
of the promoters of the line afterwards sat down to dinner at
the Town-hall.

No fewer than four lines are in the field for carrying out
a communication between Holyhead, Port Dynullaen, and
Dublin.

The Directors of the South Devon promise their support to
a line from Ashburton to Newton.

Special trains since the opening of the line to Scarborough
have been running with frequency from Nottingham, Derby,
Manchester, Sunderland, and York.
The Gloucester and Dean Forest contemplate, in conjunc-
tion with the Great Western, opening up, to the fullest
extent, to the colliery owners, the resources of the Forest of
Dean.

The works on the Southampton and Dorchester have, we
understand, been commenced between Southampton and
Redbridge.
Railways are beginning to be looked upon as measures of
self-defence. Lines are, consequently, projected from Houn-
slow, Barnet, and other places ; and Royston, for the same
reason, now proposes to unite itself by railway with Ware.
The share allotments of the Isle of Wight have been com-
pleted, and the opposition to the line in Parliament will be
entirely a landowners' opposition.
A mineral tributary to the South Wales is to be constructed
from Rhondda, through the vale of Ely.
Pembrokeshire is to be spanned with railways, and amongst
others, with a line from Milford to Manchester.

The Norwich and Yarmouth have reduced the charge for
the use of their telegraph, for dispatching messages between
Norwich and Yarmouth, from 4s. 6d. to 2s. 6d.
IPSWICH, NORWICH, AND YARMOUTIL—This line, which
proposes to carry out what was originally intended by the
Eastern Counties, will, with the co-operation of the Norfolk
Company, construct their line from Ipswich to Yarmouth,
accommodating the populous districts of Suffolk, and running
along its east coast. The traffic has been taken between
Ipswich and Yarmouth, and is estimated at seven per cent.
It will have a first-class station at Yarmouth, which promises,
in connexion with various lines that will run into it, to be-
come the Liverpool of the Eastern Counties.
LANCASHIRE AND LONDON LINES.—The following table
contains as correct an account as we can well make out of the
various schemes at present before the public. for providing a
nearer route than the existing one between Manchester and
London. They are said all to bear premiums :

CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY.
Thursday a vast concourse of both classes, patrician and
plebeian, took place on the bill of Kilpatrick, near Dounda-
niel Castle, Innoshannon, to assist at and witness the inte-
resting ceremony of raising the first sod on the line of the
Cork and Bandon Railroad. The pavilion was erected on a
large bawn field just above the castle. and affording a pros-
pect of woods and the windings of the river Bandon, which
shows with the finest picturesque effect from this spot. Near
the ravilion was a space inclosed with pallisades, in which
the Right Honourable the Earl of Bandon, Lieutenant of
the County, was to make the initiative in that good work
which is to bring comfort into the homes of so many hun-
dreds of the peasantry, and must result in the bettered con-
dition of their coming generations, and the general pros-
perity of the south of Ireland. Notwithstanding the
frequency and violence of the showers which fell during the
day, crowds of the country people were assembled to watch
the proceedings, which came home to their own homes and
bosoms Trith such interest. About half-past two o'clock ar-
rived the carriages of the Earl and Countess of Bandon, Lord
and Lady Bernard, the Hon. H. B. Bernard, and Lady Har-
riet Bernard. Immediately they appeared on the ground,
accompanied by the directors, secretary, solicitors, and engi-
neers of the line, attended by a crowd of ladies and gentle-
men, and surrounded on all sides by the peasantry. The
Earl then commenced operations. His implements—made by
Mr. Hogg, of Patrick-street—were a bright steel shovel and
Pick-axe, the handles of which were covered with morocco.
His Lordship took the pick-axe, raised it with much
dexterity, and bringing it down, exclaimed with great
heartiness, " :73uccess to the Cork and Bandon Railway." The
act and the sentiment were alike applauded by the shouts
of the dePghted peasantry; again and again repeated as his
Lordship shovelled the sod and a quantity of earth into a
beautiful mahogany wheelbarrow, with brass wheels, pre-
sented by Mr. Ilenright, one of the contractors for the line,
and then rolled it a few paces along a plank laid for the
purpose. The principal personages proceeded to the pavilion,
just as a heavy shower was preparing to drench the less pri-
vileged, who, in spite of the elements, kept their places on the
field and round the lofty tent prepared ter the entertainment
of their patrons. The pavillion was large, and of excellent
accommodation. It was erected by Mr. Parrott, of Bandon,
with good taste and effect, and the flags of the two services,
and several others, floated from the roof. Within, a dejeuner
was admirably prepared by Mr. Lloyd, of Cork, in which
the excellence of the viands, confectionery, &c., the rarity
and plenty of the wines, and the regularity and order
of attendance, could not be exceeded by the means and
appliances of a household banquet. Three tables ran along
the large tent, the floor of which was boarded. A raised
table, under the dais—if we may assume the emblazoned
Cork arms over the Earl's chair to be such—accommodated
his Lordship and family. At the lower end were the Ban-
don arms over the head of the Vice-President. The sides of
the temporary banquet-hall were covered with evergreens,
and pyramids of flowers were placed at intervals along the
tables, and the proceedings were enlivened by the music of
two amateur bands. With these, the intermixture of the
dresses of the lady guests, the open front of the pavilion, and
the crowded and curious faces of the weather-beaten pea-
santry that stood around it, regarding in the most respectful
manner the progress of the banquet—all formed a scene of
great interest and animation. The demeanour of the country
people throughout the day was becomingly peaceful and re-
spectful ; and all went off to the complete gratification of all
parties.—Cork Constitution.

KILMARNOCK.—THE WEATHER.—The weather
has not improved since last notice—continuing changeable,
and the harvest work suffering frequent tantalizing interrup-
tions. There is a very sensible diminution in the warmth of
the day, the winds being chilly, with a tendency to frost in
the mornings and evenings. Under these untoward circum-
stances, reaping, which, with favourable weather, would
have been completed, is yet unfinished.—Ayr Observer.
