TT/E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 6 1845.

Mr. HAWES thought it would be advisable to refer the matter
to arbitration. The great question was the protectic n to be afforded
to the public against interested parties. It was evident from what
had come out that the London and Birmingham Railway was
stretching its hand over a great part of the line, and it was his duty
not to act adversely to one party and to favour another.
The subject was then adjourned until to-morrow.

Group V.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Thomas Hawkesley, civil engineer, residing in Nottingham,
thought that the level crossing over the Flood road would not be in
the slightest degree inconvenient to the town of Nottingham. Any
other mode of crossing would entail evils of great consequence;
in fact, any other mode would be attended with such difficulties, as
to be almost impracticable.
Wm. Carter proved the traffic on the Wilfred level crossing over
the Derby and Nottingham line near the latter town. In seven
days' obseavation he saw 21,000 foot passengers pass, 523 on horse.
back, 83 gigs, 269 carts, and 94 carriage..
Edwin Walter took the traffic on Trent.brige for a week. There
was a very great traffic over the bridge, especially on market days.
John Fox Bell, Secretary to the Midland Railway, said the
Derby and Nottingham Railway had been opened for six years,
and in that time not one single accident had happened at the Wil-
ford crossing. Had such happened he should have heard of it.
William Hutchinson proved the traffic from Gainsboreugh to
Nottingham, which would in a great degree come upon this line.
William Liston Sharp, gave similar evidence, which the Com.
mittee was proceeding with when the Speaker was announced at
prayers.

The Earl of DEVON presented petitions from Ennis
and another place in Ireland, praying that a measure
founded on the report of the Irish Land Com-
missioners should be shortly introduced. The peti-
tioners referred to the suggestions of the Commissioners as
to the practices of grand juries, and particularly to the
improvements effected by the tenants on the land, and
they prayed that in any measure to be introduced a
proper regard should be had to their interest. They all
trusted that the suggestions of the Commissioners with
regard to the constabulary would be acted on.
Lord STANLEY said that the subject of the Com-
mission embraced points of great importance, and it
would not be desirable to have any hasty legislation on
the subject. He begged to assure their Lordships that
all the recommendations i❑ the report would receive
the most attentive consideration ou the part of
the Government, wbo had not been idle in
taking up and acting upon some of them which they
considered of the greatest importance. One of them,
which he considered of more importance than any, was
the recommendation that some compensation ought to be
given to the industrious tenant for the improvement he
had made. A Bill on the subject was at present in a great
state of forwardness, and he thought he should be able
to lay that Bill upon the table shortly after the recess.
The Duke of GRAFTON presented 44 petitions from
different parts of Suffolk, praying for the repeal of the
malt tax.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May G.)
SUGAR.—To-day Importers, submitting to reduced rates
for some descriptions, tempted buyers to come forward with
more freedom, and a good businesswas transacted. At public
sale 145 hhds 5 tierces of Barbadoes, and 511 hhds 2 tierces
and 2 barrels of new Trinidad were offered, the former went
off without spirit, at a decline on previous rates of 6d to is
per cwt; the latter generally brought the former currency,
and all sold. In the private market the rates accepted were
in some cases rather under those of Friday.
REFINED.— To-day there was little business transacted by
the Home Trade, and prices are still drooping, brown lumps
selling at 66s to 675, and standard lumps 68s per cwt. Bonded
Crushed Sugar is wanted, and the price is firm at 37s per
cwt for the best sort.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there wastno public sale, and
the few parcels disposed ,of privately, barely fetched former
rates.
EAST Ispra..—This afternoon there was a fair demand for
Bengal Sugar, and 2,214 bags at public sale sold at the former
value viz., fine yellow at 48s 6d to 50s, good 44s 6d to 465,
middling 41s to 435, low 37s 6d to 38s, damp and washed 36s
to 465, brown 35s Gd to 36s 6d, and white damp and washed
42s 6d to 47s per cwt.
Mor.AssEs.—The demand has fallen off, and only a limited
business has been transacted, although there are sellers upon
further reduced terms; 15s to 18s per cwt according to qua-
lity. Bengal Treacle is wanted for grocery purposes at
15s 6d, but holders refusing to sell thereat. Madras Treacle
sells at 13s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—Today there was much inquiry after Foreign,
and Foreign East India Sugar, the private operations are
3,000 bags of old mid grey Manilla at 225, and three cargoes
of Porto Rico consisting of 1,200 chests at 21s per cwt ; at
public sale 463 boxes of yell, and 197 boxes of white Havan-
na!), all dam were brought forward and sold at stiff rates, fine
yellow slightly damaged at 24s to 24s Gd, good 23s to 2386 d,
middling 22s Gd, low 205 to 21s Gd ; damaged, low to fine 20s
to 245, good white slightly damaged 30s Gd to 31s, middling
29s 6d to 30s, low 28s Gd to 295, and damaged at 27s Gd to
29s 6d for low to good quality.
COFFEE.—To-day good ord Ceylon Coffee met with free
purchasers at the improved rates of 45s to 45s Gd per cwt by
private treaty. For Jamaica the demand was brisker, and
68 casks 12 lois at auction were sold at full rates.
TEA.—The arrivals have increased, and amount to the
immense quantity of 72,598 pkgs since our last, nevertheless
holders have manifested firmness, and refrained at present
from offering at public sale. 'There has been a good demand
for Congou, and the lower sorts which have been the most in
request brought a small advance on the rates of the last
auctions, but iti the value of the better kinds there is no im-
provement to notice. Twankay has sustained the former
value, and several parcels have been sold. In Hyson there
has been a good deal doing, in consequence of holders sub-
mitting to rather lower rates, there being ready sellers of
Pouchong at the reduced rates of the last auction. Gun-
powder and Imperial met with a good demand, but mer-
chants are willing sellers.
SFICES.—This afternoon Pimento met with less attention,
and 515 bags at public sale sold upon rather lower terms, and
went at 2%d to 2%d for mid. Of Malabar Pepper 605 bags
were only part sold, half heavy at 34d to 3%d, light
Eastern kind 24d to 2%d per lb. 1,132 pockets Bengal
Ginger went at 20s to 22s per cwt for rather wormy.
,Ruse, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Jamaica Rum the
demand has increased,
shippers and the home trade operating
with more freedo, bnt holders have been unable to obtain any
advance in prices; the quantity sold has been 300 puns, fair
quality 30 to 36 per cent. over proof& to 3s 4d, better 32 t 034
34 over 3s 7d to 3s 9d, superior 38 10d to 4s 9d per gal. Leeward
has suffered a depression of id, still the demand has been
good, and the sales amount to 260 puns at is 7d for proof to
1 per cent. over faulty, and at Is Id to is 9d for proof
to 9 per cent over to clean quality. For Demerara rather
lower rates having been taken, occasioned 100 puns to
be sold at 2s 6d to 2s 9d for 30 to 38 per cent. over proof.
Calcutta cannot generally be purchased at any further de•
cline, but only 100 casks sold at is 4d to is 5d proof with
certificate. For Brandy lower rates having been taken, has oc-
casioned a better demand, and many parcels have been sold.
The stock is on the increase of Geneva, and at present there
are not many orders ; Is 7d to is Bcl is the value of common
shipping sort. In the value of English Corn Spirits there
is no variation to notice.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was sought after, and 2,042
bags at auction were all sold at steady prices.

RAILWAYS.

Lord BROUGMAM thought it necessary to state to the
House a circumstance which had come to his knowledge,
and at which it was his duty to express his great surprise.
Notwithstanding the stsictness with which the standing
orders of the House of Commons, a Bill had last night
been passed in that House, in which there were no less
than 300 breaches of those standing orders. He thought
it necessary to state this circumstance to the House,
because the public might be misled by the supposition,
and be induced to throw away their money on a scheme
which never could obtain the sanction of an Act of Parlia-
ment. W hatever might be the conduct of the House of Com-
mons, he should feel i t his duty to move that this Bill be
referred to the Standing Orders Committee; and he gave
notice that, on Thursday next (after the recess), he
should make a motion to that effect.

Lord CAMPBELL said, that whatever might be the
proceedings of the House of Commons, their Lordships
had nothing to do with them. It was sufficient that
their Lordships had standing orders of their own, and
his Noble and Learned Friend had only to abide by
those orders to obtain his object.
Lord BROUGHAM said, he never wished to interfere
with the strnding orders of the other House. He did
not care whether they abolished them or not. Perhaps
it would be as well if they did so. Ho felt every respect
for the other House of Parliamet, which could be ex
pected of him. He would remind his Noble Friend that
he had made no motion on this subject.
Lord CAMPBELL—It must be either a notice or a
motion.

Lord BROUGHAM—It was neither ohe nor the
other—it was a speech—(Laughter)—and more regular
than yours.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented nu-
merous petitions, principally from Wesleyan Methodists,
in various parts of the United Kingdom, against the
Maynooth grant.
ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK.

Lord BROUGHAM said that a petition had been
placed in his hand which he thought it his
duty to present to their Lordships. He was
ignorant of the facts of the case, but he
knew that the petition was signed by several respectable
individuals, by the church warden, and other parochial
officers of St. Stephen's, WalbroOk. He said that he
felt himself bound to present the petition, though he
would not trust himself to make any observations upon
it, but simply read the petition for their Lordships. It set
forth that the affairs of St. Stephen's and St. Bennett's
Sherehog, had been for many years conducted in a most
unsatisfactory manner to the inhabitants of these
parishes, and had consequently become a subject of dif-
ferencp betweem and Mr. Michael Gibbs, the present
Lord Mayor. The petitioners went on to say that those
proceedings were such that no man could see their ter-
mination, and that the church of St. Stephen's was
falling to ruin, and thlt such was the state of the paro-
chial government that the state of the churches in those
parishes was a scandal to a Christian country. On those
grounds they prayed for some improvement in parishes
governed by select vestries.—Hear, hear.) These ap-
peared to him (Lord Brougham) to be very sensible and
rational representations, and he would leave the further
consideration of them to their Lordships.
FRESH WATER FISHERS (SCOTLAND BILL).
Lord ROSEBERY said he would move the third
reading of the Fresh Water Fishers (Scotland Bill) on
Thursday.
Lord DALHOUSIE corrected a misstatement he
made a short time ago, in reference to the duties on
hides. The Noble Lord then moved the third reading
of the Auction Duties Bill, and also the third reading of
the Sugar Excise Duties Bill, and the Colonial Pas-
sengers Bill, which were agreed to.
on the motion of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH the
Privy Council Appellate Jurisdiction Amendment Bill
wont through Committee.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti-
tion from the parish of Killeagh, in the county of Down,
against the grant to Maynooth.
The Bishop of LICHFIELD presented petitions
against the Maynooth grant.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

There being but Thirty-four Members present at Four
