,UPPLEMENT TO THE tiberpoot -s.ltettibarbt SECOND EDITION. STANDARD •OFFICE, JUNE 20, Two O'CLOCK, P.M LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY. A considerable number of vessels have arrived at this port from America since Friday, but we have very little addition to the supplies of either Grain or Flour then noted ; during this interval the state of our trade has con tinued generally steady for Wheat and Flour, and with accounts from America fully confirmatory of previous advices as to the little we have to look for from that direction, in addition to the increasing probability of this country being immediately called upon to furnish more or less grain produce in aid of the requirements manifestly existing in France to no ordinary extent, this week commenced with increased firmness on the part of holders, and higher rates were in most instances required ; the improved character of the weather, and the subdued tone of the telegraphic report from ark-lane, however, checked any practical amendment, and the business proved very limited yesterday, at barely supported prices. Indian Corn was offered, from the quay, at rather less money. At the market to-day there was a fair retail inquiry for Flour at about the same prices as Friday last. In Wheat very little doing. For Oatmeal there was a fair inquiry at previous rates. Indian Corn 6d. per quarter cheaper. In other articles little doing without alteration in prices. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.i THE WAR, On the 13th instant, three mines were sprung before Silistria, without doing any damage to the walls. The Russian storming columns were prepared to mount the expected breach, but were attacked on the right by the Turks. A fearful slaughter took place, and the Russians fled in terrible disorder. On the 14th and 15th, they were employed in removing their dead. Three Russian generals were severely wounded. General Schilders had his leg amputated, and Prince Gortschakoff was wounded. Mussa Pasha is now reported wounded, but not dead. General Liprandi has evacuated Slatina. On the 13th instant, the garrison of Rutschuk went over to the island of Mokan, and destroyed all the Russian works there. On the 4th instant, the Russians attempted to assault Rassova, but were repulsed. VARNA, JUNE 4.—The advanced guard of the British has marched in the direction of Silistria, and is to be fol lowed by another body in thirty-six hours. It is very hot at Varna, and fresh provisions are much wanted, VIENNA, MONDAY. — The convention has been concluded at Constantinople between Austria and the Porte relative to the Principalities. Its principle conditions are said to be, that if Russia voluntarily retires, the Austrian troops will enter the Principalities, and advance between Russia and Turkey. If Russia refuses to retire, Austria will take such measures as may appear to ensure her doing so. GALATZ, JUNE s.—The stocks of barley and rye have been nearly exhausted by the Russians, and a quantity of wheat has been ground into flour, but chiefly hard wheat. Should commerce be re-opened there would be no defl ciency of soft wheat, as the stock in the interior is consi derable, and the appearance of the crops is splendid. The stock of Indian corn is very large, both at Galatz and in the interior, and as the Russians do not use it for bread it can be bought for about 7s. 6d. per quarter. NAPLES.—The prohibition to export sulphur to the ports of belligerent powers is confirmed. RUSSIAN LOAN.—it is said that a good amount has been subscribed at Amsterdam ; the price is about 92k. The Times praises Lord Lyndhurst's speech of Monday night on the policy of England. The Times utterly rejects the loose rumours circulating of a prompt and pacific solution, for circumstances must have materially changed before the Times can permit itself to entertain hopes that the just objects of the war are accomplished. The Post leaves it to the people to decide how far they concur in Lord Aberdeen's remarks that a treaty similar to that of Adrianople would be "nut a miss," and that- - there is not very much danger by the chance of Russian aggression. The Herald inquires whether Lord Aberdeen's speech will he read without resentment. The Daily News also says that it is almost incredible that, at a moment when we are at war with Russia, the Prime Minister of England could say what Lord Aberdeen ventured to say last night. It is virtually a plea for the Czar. It treats the rumour of the Russian intention to leave the Principalities as a loose rumour or guess emanating from a very contemptible Vienna paper. The Post shews that there has not been sufficient time for the transmission to Paskiewitch to leave the Princi palities, and for the later despatch of the news from his head quarters to London. The Post repeats its belief that Russia will neither accept nor reject the Austrian note, but will offer to evacuate if Austria can obtain an armstice, so that she may not be harassed in her retreat, and provided Austria will mediate for the restoration of peace on certain conditions ; in a word, Russia will proba bly attempt to temporise. The steamer Australian has brought gold valued at £608,000. PARIS, MONDAY. — The return of fine weather, and the rise in Consols, produced considerable improvement in the funds.
