Scotch. 165 1,220 LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FREIS ---- - The arrivals of the week contain a fair, supply of Wheat and Oats, with a good quantity of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland, and a few limited parcels of grain coastwise. From the American States, the imports during the same time, consist chiefly of about 4000 qrs. Wheat, and H,OOO barrels Flour; whilst of other foreign produce we have little to nate beyond 1656 qrs. Beans from Egypt, disposed of, ex ship, within the range of our quo tations. The week's exports of Indian Corn and Corn Meal to Ireland, and of Flour coastwise, are to a fair extent. At this day's market there was a good attendance of town and country trade, and, generally speaking, there was a better feeling displayed on the part of buyers. All kinds of good Wheat were in tolerable request, the best qualities on terms fully as high as this day. week, but general runs and all inferior qualities merely supported the receded rates of Friday. • American Flour, in which the sales were but moderate, re ceded 6d. per barrel from - the rates of this day week. Irish Flour Is. per sack cheaper. In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease we have very little varia tion to note. Oats were in moderate demand at the rates of Friday, and Oatmeal was drill at the decline then noted. _ _ Indian Corn must he noted Is. per quarter, and Corn Meal I s..per barrel cheaper; which induced a tolerable sale for each Wheat, 13.

FEB. 18. A few parcels of Wheat, Indian Corn and Corn Meal, and a moderate supply of Flour from the United States, with the ad dition of two cargoes of Russian Wheat, and oneof Egyptian Beans, form our main supplies from abroad since Monday last ; the fresh arrivals from Ireland and Coastways are, at the same time, trivial.—The American exports are not cxp . ectod to con tinue in quantity until the opening of the canals in the States, when it is probable their prices will assimilate more nearly in proportion withotirs than they have done for sonic time past. Although we have not received any lively reports this week from other markets, the trade here upon the whole assumed a more firm tone than during the past two days, without, how ever, any decided improvement in prices, except for Indian Corn and Corn Meal, which, upon a more extended inquiry, have realized rather higher rates ; good fresh parcels of Ameri can Flour have also found a steady sale, at the full prices of our Inst.—The general hearings of the trade at our Corn Exchange to-day, appeared fully to C 032 fi tin the foregoing' remarks. Eng lish and Irish Wheats were saleable to a moderate extent, and the millers evincing rather more confidence, paid 1(1. to 2d. over Tuesday's. ratuv. ; Foreign samples, though not in lively request, were Id. per 701 b. dearer. States Flour, upon a fair inquiry, was held firmly at an advance of Gd. per barrel, but was not taken freely at the amendment : home-made and Irish, commanding somewhat more attention, realized a slight improvement in value. Barley and Malt, exciting little notice, merely sustained our last quotations. Beans, attracting a fair demand, fully supported late prices; and for Pease, rather higher terms were partially acquired. Oats, coming very spa ringly to hand, fully maintained our last currency, and very tine well prepared mealers may he deemed the turn dearer. Oatmeal ruled nearly the same as last noted. Of Indian Corn, with transactions daily for Irish account, the middle descrip tions have obtained an advance of Gd. per quarter ; and Indian Corn Meal, continuing in improved request, made 6d. to 9d. per barrel more money. .

Without any material increase of demand during the week, the corn trade has evinced more steadiness; buyers, however, have been freely met by holders of every article. At Liverpool lind Wakefield yesterday, a generally firmer tone was discerna ble, and it may be presumed that this will increase both in the selling and in the agricultural, or buying markets, as the time approaches for the reimposition of duty, which will probably start at a pretty high figure. To-day's market is described pretty accurately by the preceding observations : more dispo sition to buy at late prices as regards every article. We do not alter the quotations of our last, except as regards Oats, which are id. per bushel lower, but with less anxiety to sell than of late, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 19. . • _ _ This week, we have to report numerous arrivals from the Coast of Wheat, Barley, and Flour. To-day, there was a large show of Farmer's Wheat, and the millers showing little dispo sition to deny, prices fell 2s. per quarter. Ship and granaried samples were also Is. per quarter lower. Barley (with the ex ception of prime malting lots) was difficult to sell, and the turn cheaper. Rye and Pease could only be moved off in retail at a trifling reduction. Of Oats, there was a plentiful supply, and prices must again be noted 6d. to Is. per quarter down. North umberland Wheat, red, 48s. to 535.; ditto, white, 50s. to 548. Flour, Norfolk Households, per sack, 375. to 38s. WISBECH CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 19. Wheat is in better condition to-day. We have had a small show, and the farmers required more money, which in partial instances was complied with ; but on the whole very little bu siness was done. A good show of Oats and Beans, which were each cheaper. Prices to the growers—Wheat, new white, 60 to 631b5., 445. to 465., extra, 31s. per quarter; ditto, ditto, red, 60 to 631b5., 435. to 455, extra, 478. per quarter. Oats from 100 to Ild. per stone. Beans, new, 65 to 6641b5., 345. to 375. pe. quarter. PRESTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 19. The moderate supply of Grain at to-day's market was, owing to the improved demand, soon bought up at prices similar to those of last week. Flour, Oatmeal, and Beans, were all in greater request, but did fetch bigner notes. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. FEB. 18. We have fair arrivals. Wheat is held more firmly, and with a steady demand full better prices are made than last week. The sale for Barley is slow, and all but the finest samples are lower. Oats and Shelling remain without alteration. Beans the turn lower. WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, FEB. 15. Wheat, 63 qrs., ®42 13s. 4d. Ip• qr.: total. £l6B Os. 0:1. Oats, 17 qrs., ®£l 2s.

The condition of farmers' Wheat at our market this day was only, moderate,, and exceedingly difficult to sell, while good samples were taken off at fully the current rates of last week. Foreign, though offered on decidedly low terms, meets little favour; sales when made are in the merest retail. All kinds of spring Corn are neglected. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, FEB. 16. During the present week we have had very little passing in the trade, and prices of all articles nominally unaltered. At Wolverhampton to-day good dry Wheat realized last week's prices, and in some instances for prime quality a trifling ad vance was obtained. DUBLIN CORN MARKET, FEB. 18. The supply of Wheat and Barley to our market to-day was moderate, of Oats considerable. The market generally was very dull, but we note no alteration in the currencies of Tues day last, except for Oats, which were 3d. cheaper. Indian Corn met a slow demand, without alteration in prices.

There was an average number in the supply of stock at our market to-day, some of which was of very inferior quality, and there being a good attendance of buyers, the whole was sold up. Beef, best quality, 6d. •, inferior, 3fd. per lb. ; Mutton, 6id. to 7d. per lb. Beasts, 380; Sheep, 2500. DUBLIN CATTLE MARIET, FEB. 17. The market was lesser in every way than that of the previous week, with better sales for export and home use. Beef sold at 455. to 545. per cwt. for ordinary kinds ; good 50s. to 545. ; very prime, 555. to 565.. Mutton stationary at from 51d. to .7#d. per lb. ; Veal 61d. to 7d. per lb., sinking the offal ; Pork sd. to sad. per lb. ; for export, 445. to 565. per cwt. on corn. The difficulty of curing at those prices, obliged dealers to be out at the seve ral country markets; we had consequently less .to show than usual. The continuance of open weather, together with the facilities of turnip-feeding (happily not injured by the late frosts,) along with railway conveyance, render our Smithfield markets every way better supplied than usual, during winter and spring•at least.

Masterson delivered'a most inflammatory harangue against England, accusing her of having op- •presSed, plundered, and butchered Ireland "for the last six hundred centuries." (!) He told. the meeting how, in Elizabeth's rei gn , th e E ng li s h h a d thrown four hundred monks into the sea, and how Englishmen of the present day - are "panting" to commit a similar enormity; how Men, women, and children, were butchered at Wexford - and Drogheda by " the forefathers of the very men who would now feel a pride and happiness in muidering ,and assailing us again !" and hnw Irishmen knew nothing of robbery or murder until they we r e t aug ht by the English! Reverting to Lord Shrewsbury, the pious and charitable "" divine" said—" I think the noble lord knows as much about the constitution of England as he does about the religion he professes ; and he knows' as much about both as a cow knows of an eclipse." (Laughter.) A 'vote of., thanks having been passed to him for his " brilliant elo quence," the rev. gentleman said that whenever they , wanted clergymen in Conciliation-hall, they had only to send to the diocese of Meath, and twenty of them would be in attendance any Monday. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET,'FEB. 16. The show of stock was large to-day, and the demand being scarcely equal to the supply, buyers had a slight advantage, but all superior stock was cleared off. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—Since Tuesday, the gradual abatement ix the demand for cotton at Liverpool, and the slight decline of prices, caused by the nature of the recent mimes from the United States, by the Cambria, have rendered buyers here more and more unwilling to give the advanced rates demanded by spinners and manufacturers. At the close of the week, espe cially, the business done was exceedingly limited, generally at the rates current on Tuesday; and the market presents a very fiat appearance, which will certainly not do much to counter act the tendency towards shorter hours of labour. The general tendency of the trade is decidedly towards diminished produc tion, in almost every branch. Since our last report, there has been a failure- in London, that of Messrs. W. Clay and Co.; Manchester and Yorkshire warehousemen, whose liabilities are stated to be of moderate amount. We believe their engage+. ments in Manchester will prove very small. We are sorry to learn, however, by a letter from Huddersfield, that the house has been largely connected with the trade of that town ; that, in consequence of its tailure, many of the principal houses in Huddersfield are more or less involved, and that one firm, that Of Benjamin Mellor and Co., of Paddock Foot- Mills, have yielded to the pressure, with liabilities amounting to about .i 14,000. This last-named failure will seriously affect some-of the wool-staplers, dyers, &c., of the district. LEEns.—The woollen trade in this town 'and neighbourhood is without much alteration since our last report. A little more activity has been manifested in the home trade, and inquiries are making by the foreign houses for goods suited to the spring trade. Stocks are not heavy ; and from the advance in the price of wools, a rise in the price of manufactured goods is ex pected. BRADFORD.—WOOI.

The sales of • colonial now progressing in London, at higher rates, will only • tend to lessen the consumption, the spinners being previously unable to make a profit. Yarns.—There is more inquiry for 'Yarns, both by shippers and manufacturers, but the prices at which they are buyers are -such as rather to retard than, aug ment the present diminished production. -Pieces.—There is a shade more doing than last week, but without alteration in prices. Hunnaasairmn.-,A fair amount of goods has changed hands here this week, at fair prices ; and the staple trade of the district wears a slightly improved aspect. HALIFAX.—This' week's market has been pretty much the same as last week's, but fewbuyers having visited the hall; and very few pieces having changed hands. There is no improve ment in the demand for yarn, though the present open weather leads to the expectation of an early resumption of business by the shipping houses. Not much wool is selling, and prices are slightly-giving way. There is, however, a more active demand for short wool, accompanied by a small advance in price: ROCHDALE.—The flannel market this 'week was equally as well attended as last. There has been a good demand for mid dling qualities of gray goods; higher prices were asked, and, in some few instances, a small advance was obtained. LEICESTEI2.—Both the London and country markets still continue in .a very depressed state; the little doing is chiefly in low cotton goods. Worsted spinners continue to act with great caution, ;and the !mills are not working much more than half the time. There has been more doing in Wools, at firm prices, particularly in short kipds and noils. NOTTINGHAAL—Lace : There is little change to notice since our last. Many buyers have been and are in the market, but their operations have scarcely commenced: they limit them selves, as yet, to inspection and inquiry. Prices are without material change. Hosiery: We are gratified in being able to notice, this week, a much better feeling in our market, and al though at present this is but ,slight, yet it is the opinion of many persons that there are visible signs of improvement which will continue, and, as the season advances, be morefully developed; and gradually lead to a more steady and regular bu siness. It has been noticed, that many large parcels of goods have been sent off during the last week or two; and we hear also that several extensive orders are now in the town for vari ous descriptions of spring goods. In the yarn market, the prices remain firm; but the, transactions are very limited for this season of the year. This may, in part, arise from the ex tensive purchases made in the earlier part of the year ; yet, at the same time, it shows how cautiously manufacturers are act ing in the present depressed state of trade.

In his publication of Tuesday last, the Mercury. con siderably to our surprise —for we were not at all aware that to anything that we had been doing could be attri buted that " wastyne sicknesse" under which his bulk, strength, and lively spirits have been recently falling away—fell foul of us in the following paragraph of his notices to corre s pondents:— "STANDARD MORALITY.-Our Crescent contemporary hag adopted a mode of advertising, and especially of placarding the town, which has for its object th e va i n attempt to palm off his publication as the only Tuesday paper published; the only one that can be read in Manchester that day; in short, to perpe trate a practical hoax upon the public, under cover of a wink quibble. The salvo to his very flexible conscience is, that he uses the word "weekly" —as a distinction for fact's sake, but not for the sake of the intended impression, as his typography on the walls decidedly shows." We dare say we should have foregone making any reply to so trumpery an imputation as is here attempted to be conveyed—set ii down as an ebullition of old womanly spleen—and forgot all in an hour after its perusal. On Friday, however, we found him reiterating his censure on most immoral conduct; and even resorting to very myste rious threats of punishment. Then, and not till then, we felt ourselves bound to say a word or two in self defence. Our contemporary says —so far as we can understand him—that "as our typography on the walls decidedly chews, " it was our intention to have conveyed the idea that he himself was defunct; that there was no Tuesdar'a Mercury published. Our readers, if any of them are too elderly to discern moderately-sized type, will perhaps. put on their spectacles, and give us their opinion of the size of the type in which this word "weekly" was given. We only give one letter, for the word itself would not come within the column— 1.4 e, - We thiv..k there could be little mistake as to such letter being perfectly legible, upon a placard of very moderate size. Our contemporary is the very last person in the world who ought to have ventured to accuse another of tricky practices, inasmuch as he is himself a sinner in such gag_ gery and a constant practitioner of the art of humbugging the unreflecting public. At this moment the walls of our town, and of the neighbouring outskirts, a re pl en tif u lly_ posted with a large placard, of which the following is a copy : LIVERPOOL MERCURY, PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. AVERAGE CIRCULATION, Of Fr;dars • 8450 COPIES. Now, when we state that whilst the whole of the placard is in most imposing letter, the type in which "Average circulation" is printed is ll inches in height, and that to which " 8950 copies" is printed is 8 inches, what do our readers suppose is the size of the intervening qualifying size "of Friday's." Why just a third of an inch. and the type stuck in a corner so as to escape observation as much as possible. Of course so virtuous a personage could never wish to convey the impression that the average circulation of Tuesday's and Friday's Mercury is 8950 copies each. There are more than one in a million, however, who glancing at the placard in question arrive at that coaclu sion ; if indeed it were not intended that they should do so. We would seriously advise our contemporary, whilst in his present distempered state, not to strike out at so much random ; for random blows are seldom wisely dealt, and often provoke unpleasant returns. If he has made his moves clumsily ; if he has benefitted little from the wan ton and unprovoked injury which he inflicted upon his brother Whig journalist when he usurped his day of pub lication ; if his poor six columns of Advertisements in his Tuesday's issue remain just six columns ; he ought not to blame us or any other competitor, but rather to take to his heart the lesson which disappointment conveys, that the public, however well disposed to reward well-deserved merit and energy, will not tolerate attempted monopoly, which seeks to advance itself upon the weakness of a neighbour. THE BUDGETZ-INCOAIE TAX-MILITIA. TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL A7ANDAR9. Sin,—Well might Mr. Hume say, at its conclusion, that "he had never heard with sach pain any budget brought forward as he had heard the present. He pro tested against the idea of the probability of any war with France." The continuance of the income tax for a period of five years, and an increase of it from 3 to 5 per cent. for a period of two years, is almost insupportable, considering the depressed state of the times ; but not satisfied with this, we are again to be saddled with that most grievous scourge the militia. Lord J. Russell, in his announce meat of it, said, that " if they took substitutes, (the plan hitherto allowed and adopted,) they might not be forth coming," inferring, of course, that whoever should have the misfortune of being balloted,—no matter in what sphere he might move, or whatever situation he might hold, so that it did not happen to be a government one, — should be compelled to serve his term. Now. Sir, I ask, is this reasonable ? Is it not intolera ble, that a man must sacrifice a good situation for the scanty sum of thirteen pence halfpenny a-day, to say nothing of the degradation ? I think that every man who studies his own interest should resist this odious impost by every constitutional means in his power; for a man's prospects in life might be for ever blighted by having to submit to this mode of maintaining our "national de fences." If the government were to offer a larger bounty they could, I have no doubt, secure any number of men for the regular forces, if such a course were deemed neces sary. I would recommend that the inhabitants of "the good old town" immediately set about getting up numerously.. signed petitions against the establishment of the militia force, in order to show their disapproval of such a mea sure.—Your's, &c. . A LOVER OF PEACE, THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK BILL. On Friday John Abernethy, Esq., the Commissioner appointed by her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to make preliminary inquiry respecting bills re lating to docks, and now before Parliament, attended at the Town Hall, Birkenhead, for the purpose of taking evidence relative to a Bill entitled " An act for levying additional rates, and Liverpool dock rates, and also for amending the Birkenhead dock acts." Mr. Maynard, solicitor, appeared for the promoters of the bill, who are the bondholders of the Birkenhead docks. Mr. Worthington appeared as solicitor for the Liver pool Dock Trustees--to oppose clause Bof the bill, which proposed an alteration of the Liverpool Dock rates. That he considered an abstract question, independent of the present inquiry, and as the parties he represented as well as the Liverpool deck bondholders had petitioned Parliament on the subject, he proposed that the'opposi- Hon to that clause should be postponed until the bill was in emarnit.ee. The Commissioner thought some evidence might be given (under his instructions) with respect to the com parative advantages of Birkenhead and Liverpool, and, the mode in which the rates bore upon shipping. Mr. Worthington said he was not yet prepared to give any evidence on the subject. and after requesting that it might appear upon the rotes that the bill would be op posed by the Liverpool, Dock Trustees, and also by toe bondholders, withdrew.—Mr. Forshaw, solicitor, appeared on behalf of owners of vessels engaged in the coasting trade,—Mr. J. B. Lloyd, of- the Birkenhead Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company,—Mr. Nelson, on behalf of the landowners resident at Seacombe,—Mr. Hull, as an owner of property at Birkenhead, and also ea behalf of several other owners of property.—Mr. May nard, at some length, stated the nature of the bill. Mr. J. M. Rendell, C.E., being called said he had beet employed on the Birkenhead docks since their commence.. ment in 1844. The Morpeth and Egerton Docks had precisely the same accommodation for shipping as the Liverpool docks.' On these docks upwards of ..Z70,0011 Mid , been expended. He handed in a plan sheaving the progress of the .present works, and those intended ' • also the site of a grid-irogrid-iron,proposed to be made a t the S.W. corner of the Woodside Basin, near the entrance to the Morpeth Dock.' • Mr. Maynard said he thought coasters should have free use of the grid-iron, but, with respect to the scale of charges they intended to take a lesson from their pardnt— Liverpool. Mr. Rendell;in continuation, said the sills of the pre sent dock; and of. those intended, were 5 or 6 feet lower than the Old Dock - sill of Liverpool, so that vessels could dock at any time, when there was water across the bar, st the mouth of the Mersey. The solicitors severally addressed the commissioner, and none of them ohiected to the bill but Mr. Forshaw, who merely objected' to the site of the grid-iron. Mr. Hull strongly urged the completion of the greet float for the timber trade, and was glad the promoters ii tended it. 'l'ne inquiry then closed for the day. On Saturday; 'Mr. Afreinethy resumed the enquiry, the object this day being to examine into another bill, pro moted by the Birkerdieed Dock Commissioners, and hav ing for its object a change in the constitution of the Dock Trust. Mr. Maynard stated the heads of the bill, which refers to the.arrangements on foot to obtain pecuniaryyth e a n id ew frG bi ni ti government, the whole of the particulars of which have already appeared in all the newspapers. By the Crown had power to appoint the chairman of the Board, and they had already appointed Mr, Webstez barrister-at law, who was also standi ng counsel for the Bi r k en head Commissioners in all their contests in the House of Commons. • The presiding CoMmissioner thought the bondholders should be more fully represented than by four commis . , sioners out of twelve. • The legal gentlemen who were again in attendance ad dressed the court for their respective clients, but none et them, seemed to he exactly in opposition to the bill, though several of tliard sought an extended representation. Mr. Maynard replied; merely expressing his surprise that there should be any opposition whatever to the bill. The Commission then broke up., . , A very large_ roect4vwas.held in Bristol last weekwiles it.was agreed to transfer the doeki, tic. to the Corpora tion. The third resiiihtion was to the effect,--That' the consumer pay a the dodk dues eventually, and that the representatives of the ratepayers should have the same power of controlling the imposts on trade as they already possess, with respect to poor, borough, and other rater. .421:11, NORTH DISFENS..ARY, . , VA UXIIALL-ROAD. • J.
