BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL 11.—There has
not been much animation in our sugar market this week, and
prices are with difficulty supported, excepting for good and
fine descriptions, which are still very scarce ; the sales since
our last reach about 550 hhds. and trcs., chiefly to the re-
finers, who continue at full, and to them very profitable,
work : the raw material declining, and the manufactured
article being in good demand, in short supply, and, conse-
quently, enhanced in value. Very little business doing in
i
Mauritius or Bengal. Rum s rather more inquired for.—
Bristol Mercury.
ELY AND BRANDON RAILROAD.—Messrs. Grissel
and Peto, the contractors, are making rapid progress in their
undertaking here, and will, no doubt,. complete the line by
the time appointed. One of their engines arrived here on
Saturday, drawn by eleven line horses, and the tender drawn
by six horses, which will soon be brought into action, as they
will now have to convey the materials a greater distance.
The crossing of the turnpike-road from Ely to Newmarket.
will be complete in a few days, when their work will be
merely to remove the earth across the fens, which, only a
few years since, were three-parts of the year under water.—
