Mr. CoctutiuN examined this witness at some length without
materially affecting the main substance of the evidence given In
the examination in chief.

The CHAIRMAN wished a great discrepancy that existed between
the map before him, and the figures given by the witness respect-
ing the miles of the broad and narrow gunge, corrected.
Either the witness or the map must be very much in error.
The witness made the number of miles of the narrow gauge much
more than the map, and the miles of the broad gauge considera-
bly less. He hoped this would be explained at the next sitting of
the Committee.
The Committee then adjourned till Wednesday next, at twelve
o'clock.

SELECT COMMITTEE FOR STANDING ORDERS.
(IRISH RAILWAYS.)
The Committee appointed by the House to inquire into the
Standing Orders in regard to their bearings on Irish Railway
commenced its sittings at twelve o'clock, in room No, 7, Sir G.
Grey, Chairman.
The proceedings were strictly private, but the effect of the evi.
dence adduced was to show the great d'fficulty of promoters of
railway schemes in Ireland complying with the standing orders, in-
asmuch as the land tenure of that country was of such a character
as to make it almost a matter of imposibility in some cases to serve
notices on the proper parties. To a small patch of ground there
were, in many instances, five or six claimants as owners, and many
of them could not be heard of till after the period that notices were
allowed to be served.

The Committee adjourned their inquiry till Wednesday next.

GREAT WESTERN (IRELAND) DUBLIN AND GAL-

WAY RAILWAY.
The following statement, in reference to this most important line
of railway, was yesterday issued for the use of Members of the
House, for the purpose of disabusing them of the views formed
after a perusal of a former statement got up by their opponents,
and purporting to be written by, and on behalf of, the Grand Canal
Company, but which was subsequently denied by them.

DUBLIN AN) GALWAY RAILWAY.
The printed reasons distrihuted to Members of the House of
Commons, on behalf of the Grand Canal Company are q cite un.
founded.

Ist. There was no allegation whatever proved of noncompliance
with the standing orders—except in respe:t of numbers omitted
on one plan, namely, that lodged with the Clerk cf the Peace at
Naas.

There was not one of these of an important character, and they
are explained in the annexed statement.
For every house, garden, and field, cut by the proposed railway
notices were duly served on the owners, lessees, or occupiers, and
the same were entered in the books of reference.
Every dwelling.h.ouse in Tullamore, Philipstown, Robertstown,
and Clara, within ten yards of the line of railway (beyond which
deviatien the Company were restricted at those places from exer-
cising any compulsory power under the provisions of their Bill):waa
numbered, and eularged plans were given of the same, and notices
uly served on the owners, lessees, and occupiers thereof.
The railway, as laid down in the plans, could not in any way ob-
struct the navigation of the canal, and no such allegatjon was
brought before the Sub-Committee.

The petition of John Ennis and others was proceeded with on
the first day of the sitting of the Committee, but no allegation of
non-compliance with standing orders contained therein was sus.
tained, and it was afterwards withdrawn.

These were the only petitions that were proceeded with before
;he Sub-Committee.

The Secretary of the Grand Canal Company, who was the yeti.
tioner, prepared an agreement for the protection of the Canal Com-
pany, which was at once acceded to by the Railway Company
without alteration.

The petitioner violated this agreement, at the moment of going
into Committee, and having taken the Railway Company by stir.
prise, proceeded with the petition.

(From the London New Price Current of May 9.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was more activity in the West
India Sugar market, a large business was transacted ; 850
hhds and trcs finding purchasers, but holders were unable to
obtain any advance in prices. The total sales for the week
are 2,330 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day there was a much better demand
for Refined goods for home consumption, and many parcels
were sold at 66s to 67s for brown, and at 67s to 68s for
standard lumps.
Matuunus.—By private treaty there has been little doing,
and at a public sale yesterday, of 7,304 bags and 385 casks,
prices gave way is 6d to 2s per cwt for Refiningdescriptions,
and is for other sorts; a part only was disposed of, but nearly
the whole was sulphury.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon white Bengal Sugar was
purchased more freely, and 530 bags at public sale were sold
at very full rates. Fine white at 57s Gd, good 54s to 54s Gd,
middling 51s, damp 50s Gd to 53.3 6d, and washed 48s to 523
per cwt. Manilla is wanted, but higher rates being insisted
upon, checked business, and 1,686 bags at public sale, with-
out certificate, were taken in Is per ce t above the value.
FOREIGN.—The market is yet sparingly supplied with all
descriptions of Foreign Sugar, and importers are still san-
guine in their expectations ; at public sale only 463 boxes of
yellow and 197 boxes of white Havannali have been offered
this week, which went at stiff rate. Porto Rico has met
with increased attention, and three floating cargoes, consist-
ing of 1,200 hhds, have been disposed of at 21s per cwt for re-
fining here in bond. In Brazil Sugar an extensive busi-
ness has been transacted at advanced rates; a cargo of brown
Bahia has been sold at 21s Gd, deliverable at Konigsburg;
two cargoes of Pernam'auco, one brown of 280 tons at 26s
for a near port, the other 300 tons white at 27s 3d for the
Mediteranean, and 300 chests of Palk on the spot at 20s
to 21s 6d for brown, and at 24s to ' 27s per cwt for white.
Yellow llavannah much wanted, and stiffer rates
offered. By private contract 600 chests of fine fetched
26s 9d, and 120 boxes ditto 26s 6d, and 400
chests good 25s 6d. In white business is prevented by the
stiff rates that are insisted upon, 32s to 39s per cwt being re-
quired for common to fine quality. The business transacted
privately in other kinds of Foreign Sugar has been at furthe
improved prices.
MOLASSES.—The purchases have been extensive by pri-
vate treaty this week, amounting to 500 puns of Antigua at
17s, 250 old ditto 15s, 100 Demerara at 18s, and 20 puns of
Dominica at 20s. 28 puns 4 casks of new Trinidad at auc-
tion went at 17s per cwt. Bengal Treacle is worth 16s, and
Madras 13s Gd per cwt.

ment in the demand; prices, however, are much the same,
but in Raisins there has been a further decline. Red Smyrna
and Chesme Raisins selling at 38s, and Black Smyrnas at
275, 'Valentias 425, Denias in baskets at 31s to 325, Sultanas
58s to 60s, and a parcel of Lipari Currants, 400 barrels, now
landing, has been sold to the grocers at 41s.
COFFEE —This afternoon Ceylon was less in request, and
the sound of 864 bags Native at auction was nearly all taken
in at the former value; there were buyers of the best at
455. 50 casks 8G brls Berbice found purchasers at fair mar-
ket rates; 69 brls coloury Rio went rather cheaper—mid at
52s to 545, and low mid 49s to 51s per cwt.

limited business has been transacted privately in Black and
Green; at the public sales yesterday of 6,700 pckgs the bid-
dings were languid, only 1,800 were actually sold upon firmer
terms, excepting Hyson and Gunpowder, which went a little
cheaper; Twankay but middling coarse Is 2d to is 2d, but
mid rather strong flat Is 2d to is 3d, mid strong Is 70 to

138 bags 86 brls at public sale went rather cheaper—good
mid red at 42s 6d to 435, mid 41s to 425, low 38s 6d, and one
lot of good 48s fd per cwt.
SPICES.—To-day Malabar Pepper was in limited demand,
and 550 bags at auction were nearly all taken in at the
former value, half heavy brown at 30, good light aid, and
fair 3d'per
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—The market is quiet for
Jamaica Rum, and the limited business has been at a slight
decline; 30 to 36 per cent over proof selling at 3s to 4s 4d,
and superior 4s 6d to 4s 8d per gallon. In Leeward Island
a good business has been done, rather lower rates having been
taken, 300 puns having been sold at Is 7d to ls. 70, proof
strength. Demerara brought, former prices, the sales are
130 puns at 2s 8d to 2a 9d for 34 to 37 per cent
over proof. Of Calcutta 180 casks have been sold
