SUPPLEMENT TO THE tilicrpoot -.;)tanbartg. SECOND EDITION. STANDARD 'OFFICE, MAY 9, Two O'CLOCE, P.M LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Thrs DAY. The maiket to-day was well attended both by town and country dealers, and there was a fair amount of business doing in Wheat and Flour at fully the rates of this day week. Indian Corn may be quoted is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. In other articles no alteration. The imports of the week have been increased since Friday by a fair addition of Wheat, chiefly of Black Sea sorts, ordered round here from calling ports, as well as by further arrivals of American Indian Corn. The aggregate quantity of these articles is thus considerable ; but, in other respects, our fresh receipts are light, and those of Oatmeal from Ireland have almost wholly fallen off. Exceedingly favourable weather for the country, com bined with ample supplies from abroad for present wants, keeps the markets of the country generally in check; the reduction stated in the middle of last week has, however, not been augmented up to the close, and, under existing circumstances, the trade has preserved considerable steadi ness. Here, with littlebusinessdone sinceFriday,the value of the leading articles has remained the same, and upon an improved inquiry for Indian Corn and Oatmeal, prices of each have tended rather higher. The New York market, to the 25th ult., quotes a small advance on Flour, in the face of reduction at this side; steady rates for Wheat, and no inquiry for export to Great Britain. In Indian Corn a moderate business doing for shipment, at previous currencies. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] It was understood on Monday that at the hour for closing the subscription lists the full amount of 2,000,000 exchequer bonds had not been quite, made up. There was considerable ease in the money Market, but the dis count houses offer 41 per cent. for deposits for fixed periods. The Post believes that Earl Elgin will proceed on kis return to the government of Canada, charged with a special mission to the United States government in refe rence to questions arising out of the present war. THE WAR Sir Charles Napier had made the signal to the fleet to " make ready for sea immediately." The Herald's correspondent telegraphs that the Leopard, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Plumridge, arrived off Stockholm on the sth, and signalled that the enemy's ships were coming out of Helsingfors. A rumour was current at Galatz, that the bombard ment of Sebastopol began on the 2Sth, but it requires confirmation. _ . The Daily News Constantinople correspondent reports, on the 30th of April, that after the bombardment of Odessa the united fleets left to cruise before Sebastopol. The Banshee brings no news from Varna. The Times, in a leading article, expresses surprise that although seventeen days have now elapsed since the bom bardment of Odessa on the 22nd April, that no authentic or official accounts have been published, or, as far as the Times knows, received by the British Government from the officers in command of our own fleet. The Russian version, in the form of a report from General Osten Sacken, is published. The Times boasts that the operations before Odessa are only the prelude of a more serious and decisive character against the great Russian naval esta blishment. ----- VIENNA, MAY 6,—The Post says, Austrian troops have entered the territory of Montenegro. Government has taken new measures to avoid Turkeydeclaring war against Greece. The Post adds, that Austria and Prussia have united with the Western Powers to put down the insur rection. An armed intervention is to take place, but it is not yet arranged which power shall be charged to carry it into execution. _ . CONSTANTINOPLE, Aran 30.—The misunderstanding between the French ambassador and the Porte has been arranged. Lord Raglan arrived here yesterday.
