COLONIAL.

SUGAIL—The market for British Plantation is firm ; about
700 hhds have been sold at a slight advance. The public
sales have consisted chiefly of 11,711 bags Mauritius, and
1,710 bags Madras, which sold with more spirit, but went
off irregularly, although, in some instances, at rather
higher rates for the brown descriptions. Low to fine
brown Mauritius brought 35s 6d to 42s 6d, low to
fine yellow 43s to 535, and middling to fine brown
Madras 37s 6d to 40s 6d. The only transaction which
has transpired privately worth reporting, consists of 200
chest brown and yellow Marooni, which have been sold (for
export) at 26s 3d, which is considered a very high price. It
is reported that a parcel of white Havannah has been disposed
of at 40s. The quantity 'of British Plantation landed last
week at the East and West India Docks was 1,077 hhds
148 tierces 89 barrels, and there were taken for home con-
sumption 1,610 hhds 117 tierces 439 barrels. The stock in
the same places is 14,171 hhds 1,714 tierces 2,722 barrels.
Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 686 puns 114 hhds ; there were taken
for home consumption 147 puns 31 hhds, and exported 223
puns 168 hhds. The stock is the same places is 9,736 puns
1,786 hhds.

LEICESTER AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered.)

NUNEATON, BEDIVORTH,ANn COVENTRY BRANCH.

The Directors of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway Company,
having had surveys made of the country between Nuneaton, Bed-
worth, and Coventry, with the view of giving a direct communica-
tion between those important districts and Leicester and Birming-
ham, and having included the same in their Parliamentary Deeds,
felt it their duty to oppose before Parliament the project for making a
Railway from Coventry to Bulkington, miscalled " The Coventry,
Bedworth, and Nuneaton Railway." This opposition was completely
successful, and the Bill thrown out ; and the Directors of the Leices-
ter and Birmingham, observing that other parties are now taking up
their project between Nuneaton and Coventry, give notice that it is
their full intention to carry out their Direct " Nuneaton, Bedworth,
and Coventry Branch," in connexion with their Leicester and Bir-
mingham line, affording the best and most beneficial route for pas-
senger and mineral traffic. S. S. BAXTER, Solicitor.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

MOUSE OF 0)711,1'10A S. July 14.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Mr. BUTLER, seeing the Right lion. Gentleman the
Secretary of State for Ireland in his place, wished to know
whether it was or not the intention of her 'Majesty's Govern-
ment to restore to office the noblemen and gentlemen lately
dismissed from the magistracy in that country ?
Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE said he was not able to give
any assurance that those gentlemen would be restored to office.
Mr. BUTLER then said that o;1 Friday next he sh,ulit
move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty, re•
questing her to restore to office those gentlemen, whom he
believed had teen most unjustly and unconstitutionally deprived
of their office.

Sir ROBERT FERGUSON asked the Secretary for Ireland

wiltv 14 .3 pr.;-tp:a is i‘otwo t
present vacancy in the office of Chairman of the Board ea
Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland to unite that Board
with the Shannon Commission ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
appointment of Sir John Burgoyne to the Board had only very
recently taken place, and the Treasury had not had time to
make any arrangement.
Mr. MILNER GIBSON wished to ask whether General
Rosas, of Buenos Ayres, had the right to shut op the navigation
of the River Plate and Paraguay, and whether he had the
right to close those waters to foreign ships?
Sir ROBERT PEEL said he was aware that General
Rosas exercised that right, and the Government were
at one time inclined to recognise his right to blockade,
but the French Government had refused to re-
cognise it unless their vessels were admitted. In
that case they could not admit tie right of General Roses to
close the navigation of the river against British ships. Then
the Hon. Member for Manchester asked if General Roses
had a right to shut up the other branch of the river,
better known as the Paraguay. His (Sir Robert Peel's)
answer would be similar in both cases. The Buenos Ayrean
Government claim the right which they (the British Govern-
ment) equally rhsputed. tie should, however, ascertain from
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs the exact position in which
they stood, and communicate the sante to the House if desired.

UNITED STATES CORVETTE ST. LOUIS.

On the arrival of the United States Corvette St. Lou's, at
the Bay of Islands, a rumour prevailed that Captain M'Keever,
her commander, had offered the services of 150 of her men, in
assisting the British force to defend the tewn of Kororarika and
its inhabitants. When the attack commenced by the natives.
and application was made to him for aid, he declined
rendering it. The circumstance gave rise to many
unfounded rumours and statements, affecting the conduct of the
Americans ; but the following excellent letter, addressed to
Captain M'Keever by Lieutenant Phillpotts, acting in com-
mand of H.M. S. Hazard, states the real facts, and we doubt
not that it will remove any unfavourable, unjust impression that
may have been hastily and erroneously formed, while at the
same time it must excite universal admiration for the generous
sympathy that was evinced, and kind prompt asistance rendered,
by Captain M'Keever on that disastrously memorable day.
H.M.S. Hazard, Auckland, March 17, 1845.

Sir,—l cannot allow the St. Louis to quit this harbour
without returning you the most sincere thanks of our officers
and ship's company for the assistance you rendered us in taking
off the sick and wounded from the beach at Russell ( Korora-
rika), on the 11th inst., whilst expo.ed to a heavy fire from
the Maories, and also for the general attention you have evinced
towards us.

I must further offer you my personal thanks for having
relieved me of the responsibility of bringing here one hun-
dred and fifty inhabitants of Kororarika.
Before concluding this letter I feel bound to allude to a
statement which has gone abroad. of your having declined
rendering me as4stance when requested to do so. At the
time I applied to you for aid, I was under the impression
that you had promised to land one hundred and
fifty men, should we be hard pressed. That im-
pression was formed mere) from what I had casually heard in
the stockade and on the beach.; had I had time to weigh the
matter maturely, I should have perceived the impossibility of
your acceding to my solicitation, as it was clearly contrary to
the principles of international law.—l have the honour to be,
Sir, your most obedient servant,
GEORGE PHILLPOTTS,
Lieutenant in Command during Commander's illness.
To Captain M'Keever, U. S.S. " St. Louis," Auckland.

(From the Auckland Chronicle.)
By the Aurora, from Sydney, Feb. 25, we have received
papers three days later than those already announced. We see
nothing of importance to call for our especial notice this week.
The troops had not embarked at the time the Aurora sailed,'as
stated by the Times of Tuesday last. We have little doubt,
however, that before our next publication the troops will have
arrived. The Autos a touched at the Bay, but the Captain had
to set sail immediately as the natives manifested an intention to
attack the vessel.

THE DIRECT NORWICH AND BURY AND IPSWICH

LINES.

Mr. AUSTIN, on the part of the Bury and Ipswich scheme, urged
the ineligibility of the Direct Norwich Company to oppose, in con-
sequence of its allegation of competition being wholly unfounded.
The lines were at right angles with each other, and he contended
that their rival had no locus standi in the Committee whatever.

Mr. ALEXANDER supported the opposition of the Direct Norwich
Company, and founded his demand on the report of the Board of
Trade, which declared the lines to be competing, and had actually
rejected the project for which he appeared upon those unquestion-
able grounds.

The Committee having ordered the room to be cleared, remained
in discussion for a considerable time, when they came to the de-
termination of proceeding with the Yarmouth and Norwich Ex-
tension, and subsequently with the direct line, withholding any
opinion on the disputed question of the right of the latter to oppose
the Bury and Ipswich.

This decision being at variance with a previous arrangement,
the Counsel for the different lines expressed their inability to pro-
ceed, and after a few formal propositions had been disposed of the
Committee adjourned.

Group EE.
DUNDEE AND PERTH RAILWAY.

On the assembling of the Committee this morning, the room was
cleared for the consideration of the spot at Perth where the ter.
minus should be constructed. On the admission of the public,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee had come to the de.
termination that the question should be left to the decision of the
Board of Trade.

Considerable discussion ensued with respect to this decision—
the parties on both sides proposing various ways in which the point
should be submitted to that Board.

At length it was finally agreed that the course pointed out should
be adopted.

The remaining clauses of the Bill were then gone through scria.
tim, and were agreed to with various alterations, more particu.
larly with respect to the conveyance of passengers and goods.
The CHAIRMAN held that the fares were more exorbitant on this
line than on any other in Scotland.

An HON. MEMBER was of opinion that the plan adopted of
preventing persons from remainiug in their own carriages must be
dispensed with on this line.

Other suggestions for the convenience and safety of passengers,
and the running of trains for the less opulent portion of the
public were made. The counsel for the promoters of the Bill
stated that they would meet with due attention.
The report was then agreed to; the Chairman said he would re-
port their decision to the House, and the Committee adjourned
until one o'clock on Thursday, when the

ON ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLES,
TAILORWG, WOOLLEN-DRAPERY, and
OUTFITTING ESTABLISHMENT, 29, LT_TDGATB-HILL,

SAMUEL, BROTHERS, Proprietors.
We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a
greater saving to the public In the article of dress, than has ever yet
bees realised. The Establishment of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is
the first in the world which has originated the judicious plan to
which psiblicity is now given—a plan which cannot fail to be hailed
with sta ' tiration because, while it realises the most sanguine hopes
of the economist, will be a source of pride to its Inventors, based
as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted as it will be
upon the most honourable. principles.
We will now state in what the novelty consists; although simple in
its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, midis
neither more nor less than this,—Every customer will be enabled
to ascertain the value and quantity of material required for every
variety of garrisent—each and every Cloth, Cassmere, Doeskin, &c.
being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being
the same as would be charged upon the purchase of the material
by wholesale. We shall explain to our patrons the exact quantity
that will be necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and
we shall charge separately for the making and trimmings. This
system, as a trial of its operation will abundantly demonstrate,
will effect a saving of folly one-third of the expense of the articles re-
quired in Gentlemen's dress.

The peculiar advantages of the system of SAMUEL, BROTHERS,
may be practicably exemplified RS fOHOIV8:-

The average quantity of Cloth fora Coat is 15( yin's, snppoee
that selected be Bs. per yard, the material Would cost 145., our
charge for making and trimmings would be 18s., thus a really geed
serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be made to measure
for 325. Again, suppose the Cloth selected to be 12s. per yard, tke
material would cost 215., our charge Would ho 20s. for making and
trimmings, and thus a first-rate Coat made to measure and com-
pleted in the beet style will be obtained for 41.., few, if any, charge
less than 50s or 525. for the same article. Tke same saving will be
effected in every description of Clothing.
Our charge for making and trimming a Coat for Cloths under 10s.
per yard is 18s. and for the higher price Cloths 20s.
In quality of cloths, variety of patterns for Trousers—richness
and novelty in designs for Vestings, we flatter ourselves that we
have a stock that will please every beholder.
Noblemen and Gentlemen on inspecting our mode of transacting
business, will be astonished at the saving they may effect in their
Liveries, in many instances nearly one-half.
In order to give every satisfaction, we promise that should an
article, after it has been paid for, not please, we will exchange it, or
return the money without demur.
