The Coldstreams winning with three wickets to go down.
ETON V. Haunow.—The students at these two public
schools met in battle array yesterday, at Lord's, and com-
menced their match in the presence of a large list of fashion-
ables ; indeed, at one period of the afternoon the carriages
extended two and three deep, from the pavilion nearly to the
gate, independent of the numerous attendance of ladies and
noblemen and gentlemen, who were on horseback and in
phaetons. The scene was altogether extremely gay and bril-
liant. The match is not yet ended.
SUSSEX V. KENT.-The return match of cricket between
these two celebrated counties was commenced o❑ Thursday,
at Tunbridge Wells, in the presence of a large number of
spectators. The batting of Messrs. Barton, King (this gen-
tleman has only lately played in the Sussex eleven), and
Hammond, was beautiful, and was repeatedly applauded.
At the close of the day the game stood as follows:

This race yesterday was superior to any that have pre-
ceded it for years past; it was from first to last a most gal-
lant and determined struggle, with a result which leaves it
questionable whether the best man won. The distance was,
as usual, from the Swan at London-bridge to the Swan at
Chelsea, against tide, and the following were the competi-
tors :—Joseph Cobb, Greenwich; Edward Gellett, Green-
wich; George White, Custom-house; Robert W. Thorn-
dyke, Surrey Canal; Matthew Weed, Bankside; William
It Pratt, Waterloo-bridge. The men appeared at their sta-
tions in wager wherries, a very humane improvement upon
the old-fashioned principle, at about half- ebb. Pratt had
the inside station, and the others thus—Weed, Gellett,
Cobb, Thorndyke, and then White outside. After two
false starts the men went away beautifully together, and
after a few strokes Gellett took the lead, followed by
Cobb, the others forming a level group, and ploughing
hard through the " nobby" water caused by the steamers
for the third place. The two leading men kept hugging
the shore in the position we have described them,
Cobb evidently reserving himself for a great effort,
until they commenced shooting the water as they neared
Westminster-bridge, where, a fair opportunity presenting
itself by spurting for taking the lead, both men went to
work in the most gallant style to see who should reach the
opposite shore in advance, Gellett had passed through one
of the arches in the heavy tide-way, but his opponent courted
the eddy, and dragged his boat as they neared the point in
advance of his opponent. Gellett was not so soon shook off,
but rowed up to his sculls repeatedly, trying to pass him on
either side, but Cobb's manoeuvring stopped him.;;Whilst this
was going on with the leading pair, a not less desperate
conflict was taking place for third, fourth, and fifth, amongst
White, Thorndyke, and Pratt. They were beautifully
matched throughout, and it was a matter of considerable
speculation who would get the third price. At Blackfriars-
bridge White and Thorndyke fouled. White in the shoal
near Westminster went into the second place, but both the
latter had considerable difficulty in shaking off Pratt, who
was said to be so water-logged that, despite his exertions,
it would have been useless to have continued the race. Cobb
rowed right up the reach with Gellett upon his quarter, and
won by his oars' length only, and in two minutes afterwards
the third and fourth men appeared in a precisely similar
posit ion.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP X.

SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE LINE.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. )
Mr. Rendel, C.E., examined by Mr. HOPE—Has, in company
with Mr. Fowler, gone over the country between the termini of
this line, and considers it the best that could have been selected.
The junction with the Grimsby line is most favourably effected, and
forms a most important ingredient in the accommodation afforded
the districts, more especially to Gainsborough, and collaterally to
Hull, by forming an indirect communication with, Sunderland,
and thus enabling the coal to be brought down speedily and econo-
mically to the districts intersected by this line, while it offers
lateral accommodation wholly excluded by the Bawtry branch of
the London and York.

Mr. Fowler, a land valuer of thirty years' experience in Shef-
field, deposed to having surveyed the line of this railway, for the
purpose of computing the cost of the land, &c., on all the line ex-
cept between Lincoln and Gainsborough, and gave in the following
estimate :

Purchase of land £2,622 10 0
Damage to property ... ....
Land scheduled not required 533 5 0
Buildings not required ...
Contingencies
Besides other items.

Mr. Jefitock, a land valuer, who had been engaged to make an
estimate of the cost as between Lincoln and Gainsborough, stated
that the sum he named for that construction was 82,2881. 7s. 2d.,
making, in all, a gross cost of 100,7781. Os. Id.

This having closed the case of the promoters of the line,
Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., then addressed the Committee on behalf of
certain parties who considered themselves aggrieved by the course
of the projected Sheffield and Lincolnshire line. As representative
of Mr. Hutchinson, in the first place, he complained of the rail-
way passing within 240 yards of that gentleman's house, and so
encircling it, that from whatever window the family looked out, the
embankment, and nothing but the embankment, of the line is
visible. Some witnesses had insinuated that Mr. Hutchinson's posi-
tion was analogous to that of a retired tradesman, inasmuch as he
chose to domicile in a cottage. From the poets, and other equally
infallible evidence, it was known that in " cottages was substan-
tial happiness to be found." Whether Mr. Hutchinson had been
fortunate enough to find that substantial happiness, he did not
know; but sure he was he enjoyed both comfort and luxury there.
And it was generally believed that the principles of the British Con-
stitution, so much vaunted for their indiscriminating justice, were
essentially those of equal protection to the man whosebirth was cha-
racterised by the discovery of a silver spoon within his mouth, .and
the less fortunate, though not less honoured man, who had earned
equal wealth by greater toil Such protection was now sought at the
hands of the Committee, and he telt assured that the suppliants
would not appeal in vain. With respect to Mr. Foljambe, even a
greater grievance was incurred. The line would intersect his pro-
perty for a distance of no less than four miles, and de-
stroy portions of different estates, whose beauty and value
could not be exaggerated. But, forsooth, it was said that
Mr. Foljambe's opposition was on account of his pursuit as a fox-
hunter being threatened with diminution by the construction of this
line ; and Mr. Vernon and Lord Lincoln had not thought it unbe-
coming their high position to impute such interested motives to
their neighbour. Were it not for the respect he felt for the pri-
vileges of those gentleman he should, and with much more justice,
suggest that Mr. Vernon's consideration for the shares he held in the
Sheffield line, and Lord Lincoln's interest in having his father's tim-
ber conveyed to market upon the rail, induced them to give the evi-
dence they did. But the fact was that physical infirmity had long
since prevented Mr. Foljambe from enjoying his favourite sport,
and it was purely from the dread of residential injury that he peti-
tioned against the line And as to the necessity for thus encroach-
ing on the rights of property, what were the districts the
promoters wished to accommodate ? The town of Work-
sop was the only one to be touched in intersection, a
town comprising but 6,000 inhabitants, and without traffic enough
or through communication to support its publicans. Such being
the unimportance and even inutility of the line, he called upon
the Committee to regard the just complaints of parties who felt
themselves aggrieved, and reject a scheme unprofitable alike to the
country and the promoters.

The Committee then, at half-past three, adjourned till twelve
to-morrow.

(From the London IVew Price Current of Aug. 1 )

SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was in excellent re-
quest for all purposes, and 550 hhds and tierces were disposed
of at stiffer rates ; a larger amount of business would have been
transacted had it not been for the stiff rates insisted upon by
merchants; the advance for the week is Is to is 6d per cwt;
the rise being more apparent on brown and inferior sorts. At
public sale 151 hhds Barbadoes went at former rates. The
arrivals of West India are on a more extended scale to-day.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with eager pur-
chasers, and advanced rates were paid, brown grocery lumps
selling at 67s to 67s 6d, and standard lumps 68s 6d to 69s per
cwt. The market has become bare of goods. Bonded crushed
is with difficulty to be had under 43s 6d per cwt for the first
sort.

MA URITIUs.—This afternoon several inquiries prevailed, and
188 casks at public sale sold at stiffer rates, and yellow fetched
46s 6d to 47s 6d, low 44s 6d, and fine brown 42s 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 4,907 bags of
brown Bengal were offered, and nearly all taken in Is per cwt
above their value, viz. good Khaur at 38s, damp do 38s
middling 36s to 36s 6d, the part sold went at stiffer
rates, and fetched 34s to 35s for low damp ; 120 bags of low
yellow went at 43s 6d, and washed 42s 6d ; 1,882 bags of other
sorts sold at full rates, good white at 55s to 565, mid 54s to
54s 6d, low 52s 6d to 53s 6d, damp 513 to 543 6d, good yellow
50s 6d to 51s, and washed 495. Privately 1,000 bags of Dobab,
No. 3, have been disposed of.
FOREIGN. —This afternoon at public sale 193 bags of Cartha-
gena Sugar were sold, low soft yellow at 24s 6d to 25s 6d,
mid 275, repacked 245, and 12 Loaves ditto 28s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE. —This afternoon the market was well supplied with
Ceylon Coffee, five parcels comprising 3,426 bags were offered
at public sale ; the trade evinced little desire to operate, and of
the Plantation a part only sold at a decline on former rates
of 2s to 4s. Of Mocha 74 bales were offered, and sold at the
full worth.

Tan.—Holders of Congou are unwilling to take lower rates,
but the demand has been limited for the better descriptions: in
the lower sorts, however, a fair amount of business has been
done. For Pouchong the demand has been good, and prices
rule firm. Twankay is not much in demand, and prices are a
shade lower. The market is dull for Hyson, at,d it is difficult
to get former rates. Imperial and Gunpowder have been pur-
chased with caution, although there are sellers at easier rates.
Prices keep up for Scented Orange Pekoe.
SPIRITS.—Prices ate supported for Jamaica, and a fair de-
mand has existed. For Leeward Island prices are fully as
high, and a good business has been done. Former prices are
fully supported for Calcutta, and a fair demand exists. Deme-
rara has been in fair request at 2s 10d to 3s per gallon for
strong quality. In Brandy the business transacted has been
exceedingly limited, but holders, for the most part, will not
submit to anv further reduction. For Geneva the export de-
mand is brisker, and prices are firmer. Tue value of English
Corn Spirits is 103 2d per gallon, nett cash.
MOLASSES. —To-day West India was more sought after, and
21s 6d per cwt. refused for 200 puns of fine Antigua.
This afternoon, at public sale, 127 bags of white Pepper
sold at 4id for middling.
FRUIT.—The reports of the forthcoming crops of new up
to this period continuing to be very favourable, in quantity,
quality, and early shipment, appears to have induced several
of the importers to lighten their stock : of Currants there
are sellers at 45s to 46s for Zante and Cephalonia, and 46s to
49s for Patras. Valencia Raisins are a heavy sale at 41s to
42s ; of Red Smyrna and Chesme a further decline has been
submitted to.

INDIGO.—Since the termination of the quarterly sale of
East India a good demand has been experienced at the rates
previously established, but not above. Madras and Kurpah
have fetched 2s to 2s 9d. Prices are lower than for many
3ears.

COCHINEAL.—AIthough the stock is small, still buyers have
operated with caution, and prices have declined Id for mid,
and Id to 2d per lb for the better qualities.
On.s.—A fair demand has been experienced for Olive Oil,
but prices continue to rule low. Rape Seed Oil must again
be quoted cheaper, and the trade are cautious in their proceed-
ings. For Linseed Oil prices firm, and the demand on the spot
has been good at 255, for forward delivery several contracts
have been entered into at 25s to 35s 3d. Palm is not so
much wanted, and prices are a little lower. Cocoa Nut is
wanted. Prices are on the decline for Seal Oil but the de-
mand is improving. Cod is not offered at any further decline.
Southern has been sold to a fair extent privately at lower
rates. Sperm Oil has been purchased with caution, and pre-
vious rates are nit obtainable.

TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale 70 casks of New
South Wales Tallow sold at 38s to 40s 6d ; 203 packages
South American 36s to 38s 9d ; 60 casks East India 41s to
41s 6d per cwt; 123 casks of Palm Oil fetched 27s 9d to 28s
6d for middling and good.
