GROUP X.
LONDON AND YORE LINE.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Two other witnesses were examined to the same effect.
Mr. PAGET said he by no means meant to deny that much
personal inconvenience would be occasioned, not only to the
Archbishop of York by the direction taken by the London and
York line through Bishopthorpe, but to all other persons through
whose properties this line would pass, and this admis.
Simi he had already made in respect to Lord Scar.
borough and Sir W. Milner, but then all he could say
was that the London and York Company wouid be ready to make
any concession to those parties consistent with public convenience.
With regard to the innovation on the private walk of the Arch-
bishop of York, he (Mr. P.) understood from Mr. Cubitt that a
deviation might be made by which this private road could be
avoided.

Messrs. Hounsefield and Co., coal-owners at Sheffield, objected
to the line, as it cut off the communication between their coal-pit
and the entrance to their yard.

Mr. BAINES next addressed the Committee on the merits of the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. He contended that the line sug-
gested by Mr. Cubitt, was a very circuitous line, and very un -
necessarily involving a destruction of propery, while the line he
(Mr. Baines) represented, proposed a comparatively straight line,
and did not at all involve an extensive removal of houses and other
private property.

Mr. PAGET contended that the opposition of his Learned Friend's
client amounted, in one word, to a claim for compensation, which
would be a question entirely for a jury.
Mr. DARLA- appeared on behalf of Mrs. Smith, landowner, re-
siding near Wakefield, against the Doncaster and Wakefield branch
of the London and York scheme. The part his client complained of
was that which ran through his property from Okenshaw to Wake.
field, which spoiled the view and approach to his residence. Mr. Smith
had already sacrificed to the public convenience on two occasions,
namely, the Manchester and Leeds line, and the North Midland
line, both of which passed through his property. The Learned
Counsel then read a passage from the report of the Board of Trade,
by which it appeared that that body did net approve of the Don-
caster and Wakefield branch. He then went 011 to say that if this
line should be made, Mr. Smith would be completely hemmed in, as
this would form the base of the triangle of railroads through his
estate, and be a complete eyesore from his house.
Mr. Clarkson, land surveyor at Wakefield, supported Counsel's
statement.

CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY.
The CHAIRMAN here intimated that as the Committee proposed
to sit until five o'clock, the Learned Counsel who intended to open
the case for the Cambridge and Lincoln lime had better be prepared.
Mr. WEBSTER said he would be prepared.

Mr. Ili LDVARD said the course he intended to pursue in reference
to the Cambridge and Lincoln line was this : he would commence
by placing his engineer, Mr. Rendall, forthwith in the witness-box,
and reserve his observations for the close of his case. But this he could
not do at present, as Mr. Rendall was at that moment being examined
as a witness before another Committee. If this Committee would,
therefore, adjourn now, and meet to-morrow at eleven o'clock, he
would be prepared to proceed then.
The Committee agreed to do so and then adjourned.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London Nem Price Current of June 6.)
SUGAR.—Today British Plantation Sugar of every kind
was much in request, and nearly every board in the market
was again bought up, a further rise in prices occurred, making
the advance for the week Is to Is 6d per Cwt.
REFINID.—Te-day the home trade were compelled to pay
70s to 71s for brown, and 71s 6d to 72s per cwt for standard
lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar is higher, and is held for
39s 6d to 40s per cwt for the best.
MAURITIUS.—Although the market has been abundantly
supplied, still an advance in prices of 6d to is per cwt has
taken place, the rise being more apparent on brown, common
and fine yellow descriptions.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal Sugar was pur-
chased with eagerness, and all other sorts met with increased
attention ; at public sale 3,332 bags were offered, and sold at
fully former rates ; indeed common white and brown sorts
were rather higher.
POREIGN.—Prices are still on the advance for every de-
scription, the orders being numerous, arrivals small, stocks yet
on the decrease, and the advices from the continental markets
very encouraging ; added to which, the• importation this season
will be much less than it was on the previous one.
MOLASSES. —For West India of every description much in-
quiry has existed, and stiffer rates offered, but business has been
checked by the supply having become small.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was wanted, but
business was checked by higher rates being asked, and 1,150
bags at auction were nearly all taken in 2s above the value.
TEA.—To-day extensive purchases were made in Scented
Orange Pekoe at 2s lld to 3s. Congou was purchased with
increased freedom, and stiffer rates given. Twankay of com-
mon quality sells freely at Is 2id to Is 3d.
Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—This afternoon the Go-
vernment contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum, half East India
and half West India, was all taken by Messrs. Ruck, Sen, and
Fenwick, but at the low rate of Is lid per gallon, proof
strength.

~
SrlCES.—This afternoon Cassia Lignea met with free pur-
chasers at an advance of is to 2s per ewt. Black Pepper sold
at full rates.

Otts.—This afternoon 180 tons of Southern Oil at public
sale went at full rates and fetched 261 5s to 28/ 5s for ordinary
to good ; 30 tuns of Colonial Sperm realized 84/, very low 721
to 75/ for Oil, and 85/ to 85/ 5s per tun for headmatter.
TALLOW.—A further rise of 6d to Is per cwt has taken
place for Russian, and a lively demand has been experienced
on the spot ; chandlers and soap makers largely increasing
their stocks. An extensive business has been transacted for
forward delivery. Town Tallow has been selling freely at
30s Gd to 40s per cwt, net cash.

WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.—
After a protracted struggle of three weeks between
the two great companies of the Manchester and Leeds
and York and North Midland, the preamble of this line
of railway, which connects the east and west coast of
England, was to-day declared to be proved, and the
line promoted by the York and North Midland was
thrown out. This is the first defeat which Mr. Hudson
has sustained, and is likely very materially to affect his
favourite York line.
On Monday evening the King of the French re-
ceived the Duke de Broglie, Marshal Count Molitor, Rear-Admiral
Dupetit Thouars, Generals Cubieres and Leydet, the Duke
D'Estissac, the Marquis de Rychambeau, Counts de Monthion and
Dumas, and M. de Mirecourt.
FATAL ACCIDENT FROM FIRE. Last week a

--
little girl, named Clarke, about twelve years of age, residing at
Sallins-common, in the parish of Bockleton, Worcestershire,
thoughtlessly attempted to burn off a bit of her frock, which she
had torn. The fire communicated to the rest of her dress, and in
her alarm she ran up stairs and threw herself on the bed, which
also took Are, and the flames spread to the cottage. The poor
child's mother dragged her from the spot, but she died in about an
hour, and the cottage was burnt to the rround. —Cheltenham

Mr. Stephenson, and other professional gentlemen, followed with
precisely similar evidence.
The Committee adjourned till to-morrow.

GROUP W.
BRAYTON AND GOOLE RAILWAY
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
➢lr. WEBSTER, on the part of the opponents of the Doncaster
and Goole line, asked for leave to apply for the Speaker's warrant
to compel the production of certain books and documents belong-
ing to the river Don Navigation Company.
Mr. CROWDER, on behalf of the promoters of the Bill, opposed
the application, and after some discussion it was refused.
The Committee were then engaged up to four o'clock settling
the rates of the different descriptions of goods that were to be
conveyed on the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole line.
