THE MARRIAGE QUESTION, (From an Irish Paper.) The Rev. Alexander Henderson, an influential Presbyte rian minister, has just published a very able letter in reference to the recent judicial decision on the subject of marriages celebrated between Presbyterians and members of the estab lished Church, by clergymen of each persuasion. The rev, gentleman clearly proves that the judgement pronounced in Dublin cannot by any means weaken the bonds of the marri age contract between any parties in the position to which the decision appiies. Having expressed his regret —one shared in by the whole community—that the judges did not deem it necessary in a matter of such consequence to furnish the public with the reasons which guided them to the deliberate conclusion at which their minds arrived, Mr. Henderson proceeds to detail some interesting cases in which the " glori ous uncertainty of the law "is made very manifest. "It is now more than eight years (says the rev. gentleman) since I was constrained to prosecute a man at Carrickfergus Assizes for bigamy. Be was married by me to the daughter of a member of the Lisburn congregation. It shortly afterwards appeared that he had been married previously to another woman, by a brother minister. Considerable exertion had to be made to bring the offender to justice, but finally he was he was sent to prison and brought to trial. When the evi dence for the prosecution was closed, the prisoner's counsel Mr. Scriven, called witnesses to attest that he was of the Established Church. Whereupon the following dialogue took place : .. " Judge Moore.—For what purpose do you call these wit nesses, Mr. Striven ? " Counsel.—l want to prove, my lord, that the prisoner is a member of the Established Church, and therefore that the marriage, being by a Presbyterian minister, is invalid. " Judge.—You know very well that is nothing. The sta tute you have in your mind refers to any pretended marriage between a Protestant and a Catholic by a priest. In this case on trial the marriage is perfectly valid. " To this exposition of the law the bar assented—some of the barristers expressing their sentiments in support of his Lordship's views. The Judge immediately directed the jury to convict, and they, without leaving the box, returned their verdict—Guilty. • Nearly 30 years ago, as I learnt about the time in which was engaged in the prosecution just alluded to, the Rev. Dr. Black, then Minister of Derry, married an English offi cer, an Episcopalian, to lady of the Derry congregation. Sub sequently the officer remarried in England. Ile was tried for the offence—Dr. Black being summoned as a witness—was found guilty, and transported. What is more, the hiehest property court in England settled his daughter, by his Derry wife, in full enjoyment of her father's estate. Now, this was a decision by English courts of law. Had there been re cognisable doubts in England, theselenirld - feasonahly have had far inure weight than in Ireland. Yet, even the Lord Chancellor of England not only admitted, but confirmed, in the most cogent way in his official dignity, the validity of the marriage by Dr. Black, a Presbyterian minister. " I have now before me the published history of another case of marriage, which occurred fn Newry in 1792, The parties were an nglish officer, another Episcopalian, and a respectable young female, a Presbyterian, of Rathfriland. They were married by a Mr. Reynolds, a degraded minister, residing in Newry. The officer was obliged to march from Rathfriland, leaving his wife there ; his regiment being fre quently on the move, he was not long stationary in any place, and hence did not ask her to accompsny him, but he main tained a constant correspondence with her by letter. Finally, however, he contrived to banish her from his thoughts as his wife, and, stopped his correspondence. In the course of time she and her sister visited him in England, having found him at York. He was indignant at her intrusion, and sought to overawe her into silence. She cast herself upon the kindness of an estimable lady, (Mrs. Cappe, from whose memoirs - 1 quote,) who interfered vigorously in her behalf. Byherfunds 'tiled to take the affair into a court of justice. A series D. n d e oubt s and delays h a d t o b e encountere d . At leng:11, the e voleza woman considered it most prudent to send home to Ireland the deserted wife, having first besto we d on h e r the fund s h e h a d raised for the vindication even of herclaim. She concludes the narrative in these terms :-- ,1 In the followin, year, Sir L awrence Parsons being in York, I stated to hinithe particulars. He had the goodness to state the case to his brother, who told him, in-reply, th a t the statute whi c h created the doubt in the minds of th e t wo civilians relates pri nc i pa ll y to the , irrelevant caseot t minors and papists, and is, therefore, i n hi s opinion, o la th Present He adds, lam confid ent t h ere is no pro iiting such marriage, and th e case may be hereconsidered e marriage bad been in England, b e f ore statute 26 George if I.' Unfortunately, I did not receive thi s op i nion till neare ;he close of the year 1800. The money h a d l ong been trans mitted to Ireland, and the officer had quitted the regiment and been sent abroad.' THE TRIBE OF Wrialitus.---In the Bail Court last week Mr. Williams, the counsel, applied to Mr. Justice Williams ' on a point of practice in the case of Williams v. Willi ams ' and grounded his application on the affidavit of a wit ness named Williams. MANCHESTER FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—Honours fall thick and fast upon this ancient seminary. Dr. Gilbert, the new Bishop of Chichester, received his education there; and Messrs. Simpson and Mayor, of St. John's College, Cam bridge, who stand .second and third wranglers respectively, in the list put forth by that university, received their edu cation in the same school. IISCELLANBOI ›Y ` snl e e paper st is a sick debtor in the whose c visit, but found him so feeble, that he warn't able to raise a single pound." This species of sickness is very infectious ; there are many English debtors in the same dis- tate of debility A MISER'S CONSOLATION.—Sir John Cutler was well known as a complete miser; he boasted that Providence had showed him peculiar favour in causing his natal day to fall on the 29th of February, so that he had but one birthday to Nil on the 29th of February, so that he had but one birthday to keep in four years. One telling another that he had once so excellent a gun, that it went off immediately on a thief's coming into the house, although it was not charged. " How the devil can that be?" said the other. " Because," said the first, " the thief carried it off; and, what was worse, before I had time to charge him with it." ORNITHOLOGICAL CURIOSITY.—Did ever any of our sporting readers know of a landrail or corncraik killed in ..... winter, say betwixt November and March ? Rigby Watson, Esq., of Corwar, M.P. ' killed one on the 10th current, on the lands of Drumlainford, which he has ordered to be stuffed and sent to the Ayr Mechanics' Museum.—Ayr Advertiser. IRISH MILESTONES.—A stranger riding along the road observed that all the milestones were turned in a particular way, not facing the road, but rather averted from it. He called to a countryman, and inquired the reason. "Oh, bless you, sir," replied the man, " the wind is so strong sometimes in these parts, that if we wer' n't to turn the backs of the milestones to it, the figures would be blown off them, clear and clean." MARRIAGE OF JEWS WITH CHRISTIANS.—The second Chamber of Hanover rejected, on the 13th instant, a pro position having for its object to permit the marriage of Jews with Christians, on condition that the children should be brought up in the Christian religion, or, at least, to declare valid marriages contracted between Jews and Christians in foreign countries, without any intention on their part of eluding Hanoverian laws. Mr. Cresswell, on Thursday last, after the usual ceremo nies, was admitted to the state and degree of a serjeant-at law, and then took his seat on the bench as one of the jus tices of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas. His lord ship, however, did not sit more than a few minutes. There was a large attendance of the members of the bar belonging to the northern circuit to witness the ceremony. His lord ship presided a t th e t r i a l o f a f ew causes a t Ni s i Prius on Friday. THREE BOYS DROWNED AT KNARESDOROUGII.— OD Saturday last, an inquest was held before John Wood, Esq., coroner, at Knaresborough, on view of the bodies of Alban Leckenby, aged 13 years, James Leckenby, aged 11 years, and Reuben Ingram, aged 10 years, who were accidentally drowned in the river Nidd, 'on the previous Thursday night. It seems that the unfortunate youths had gone down to play upon the ice before it was sufficiently strong to bear them. The jury returned verdicts of " Accidental death." Recent intelligence from New South Wales furnishes us with some information as to the employment of Bolam, the assassin of poor Millie. it appears that he is in good health, and that he has a situation which much resembles that of a washerwoman's assistant. He is employed to take away the foul linen from the barracks at Sydney, to a place of some miles distance, where it is convenient to have them washed. He then brings it back clean, and returns it carefully as to quantity to the proper authorities.—Our informant does not state whether he does anything in the ironing or mangling department.— Tyne Mercury. A HUSBAND FOR ANYBODY.—The following communi cation, with which we have been favoured, is inserted ex actly according to " copy" :—" Deare Sur,—l hop you will pleas to a blidge Me and I will cal when I do 'lam to Here ford and Sattusfey you I have been disappointed having a wif I went to bristol lust weak to be marrd and the gurle was marred to anothr man and if you will pleas to put my name In your paper as soon as you can for any young woman that will have Me and She must bring her carriter with her and that Is all I do want for I have plenty for we boath to live on."—Hereford Journal. THREE AWFUL. INSTANCES OF SUDDEN DEATH. Wednesday last, Mr. Mason, wheelwright, of Upper Eati.. o ton, near Shipston-on-Stour, in going towards his shop, suddenly dropped down and expired. The following day, Mr. J. Harrison, of Stratford•on-Avon, in going over his field fell down and never spoke again. On the same day, Sarah, the wife of Mr. Decimus Slatter, of Ilmington, while going across the kitchen with a decanter in her hand, sud denly fell down and expired immediately. The deceased was the third wife of the above named gentleman, and had not been married to him twelve months.—Worcester Journal. FRACTURE AND COLLAPSE OF A BOILER FLUE.— THREE MEN KILLED.—About twenty minutes after two o'clock on Wednesday last, an accident, attended with most disastrous results, occurred in the boiler-house attached to the cotton mill of Messrs. John Pooley and Son, Clarence street, near the Cavalry Barracks, Huhoe. This was caused by the rent and collapse of an internal boiler Otte, which immediately caused the steam, hot water, fire, burning coals, &c., to be driven out of the fire-doors with tremendous force, scalding four men so dreadfully that three of them died the same day, and the fourth is still in a very precari ous state.—Manchester Guardian. DEATH OF MR. Ducnow.—lt is with regret that we an nounce the death of this remarkable man, who expired on Thursday night at his house, No. 19, York-road, Lambeth. The dreadful shock received by the late Mr. Ducrow from the conflagration of the Amphitheatre last J une, which ter minated in the death of one of his oldest servants, and the destruction of the whole of his theatrical property, induced a state of insanity, from which he never wholly recovered. On Saturday week he was seized with a paralytic stroke, after which he never rallied. Mr. Ducrow was in his 54th year. He was twice married; in 1818 to Miss Griffith, of Liverpool, who died some years ago, and was buried in a splendid mausoleum in the cemetery at Kensal-green. He was secondly united to Miss Woolford, the celebrated eques trian, who survives him, with, we believe, one or two chil dren. Ile had no children by his first wife, but adopted, in his life time, the "petit Ducrow," a brother's child, whom he treated with the same affection he extended to his mother and all his relations. NEW LINE OF AMERICAN PACKET SIIIPS.—The brig Messenger, Capt. Ellis, has just arrived in the St. Katherine Dock, from Boston, United States, and is the first vessel of a line of packets which will run- regularly hereafter between Boston and London; and if the experiment succeeds new and large ships of the size and model of the New York, Li verpool, and London line, will take the policies of the present vessels. The Messenger has made a good voyage, and conies laden with American produce. There is little doubt of the ultimate success of this new line, as the rapid growth of Boston, the opening of the railroad to Albany, by which the vast quantities of western produce can be conveyed at a rapid rate to Boston, the royal mail steamers from Liverpool, the Eastern Railroad, which is to be continued to the Bay of Fundy, the numerous branch railroads, all continue to assist the trade of Boston, and there is reason to believe that a line of packets direct to London will prove profitable to the enterprising merchants who have started the project. —Lon don Standard. It is stated in Mincing -lane that the tenonr of the answer received from the Board of Trade respecting the memorial addressed by the coffee importers and others for the reduc tion of the duties at present levied on the various descrip tions is favourable; that the officials there will be glad to communicate with the trade on the matter, and that an early day will be appointed for the consideration of the arguments the memorialists have to advance. Messrs. Franks an d C o . in their circular sp ea k con fid en tly of a reduction taking place, the Government being, according to their representations, desirous of encouraging the article. However, doubts seem to arise in the minds of parties intimately . connect e d w i th the trade as to the policy of making any further reduction o f t h e duty payable upon foreign, the reason assigned bein g th at there is already sufficient competition in the market b y t h e tr 9d. duty, which brings in large quaities of coffee, the pro duce of the Dutch colonies, who are already 89ccessfully trenching upon the consumption of our West India produc tion by such legalized importation.—Times. FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP VIN DICTIVE.—The Vindictive, 50, which got around on the edge of the Dean Bank, Portsmouth, during the gale of Wednes day, was fortunately got off, and has obtained safe anchor age, owing to the fortunate circumstance of the wind sud denry shifting last night to N. and W., in a heavy squall at the top of high water, when the Vindictive floated and im mediately got under weigh. Great fears were entertained up to a late hour on Wednesday night for the safety of this fine frigate. Had the gale backed round to S.S.E., which from the appearance of the weather it so threatened, the Vindictive must have been, in all probability, a lost ship. We learn she makes upwards of 19 inches of water per hour, and that she is greatly damaged. At an early hour on Thursday morning every assistance from the dockyard was given to get her into the harbour, but without succeeding. She is ordered to be docked, and examined forthwith. Rear-Admiral Sir Tho mas Cochrane, C. 8., arrived here last night, having been ordered to hoist his flag this day ou board the Vindictive, as Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies. Owing to the Vindictive having bee n so unex p ec t e dly disabled, Si r Th omas hoisted his flag on board h er Majesty's ship Excellent, and struck it at sunset. THE AGGRIEVED PEASANT.—In Frederick William's ex cursions the meanest of his subjects was allowed access to his Majesty. One day, a peasant ran along by his carriage, holding up a paper. The King ordered the driver to stop, took the paper, and was surprised to find upon it no writing, but merely a square, containing nothing but scrawls and blots of ink. He inquired whet it meant. The peasant said, that being unable to write, he could not describe his case any other way than by this drawing. " Well," said the King, "just explain it to me." The peasant, mounting upon the step of the carriage, began thus in his low Lierman dialect : " This here, look you, my turnip field, and those are my turnips ; ah ; such turnips, Mr. King, you ought to taste them—they are nice, indeed.""—" Go on," sa id t h e Ki ng. Well, there, here, look y ou , continued the peasant, point ing to the blots, are the an - am - antes pigs; they have got in and ate up my nice turnips, so I am now a ruined man. Dear Mr. King, the amtmann will not pay me for the damage, and that's very wrong, and so I want just to beg you to be so kind as to send word to the amtmann to pay me for my tur nips. I shan't begrudge a dish of turnips, and I'll be sure to bring you some, if you'll see me righted." The king or dered the name of the village, of the amtmann, and of the peasant, to be taken down, and promised to help him. The village was not far from Berlin, and he sent the same day a jager to the aintmann, with a very serious admonition to make the peasant immediate compensation. This had the desired effect; the amtmann not only satisfied the demands of the complainant, but gave him more than he had asked. A day or two afterwards, the peasant laden with a bag full of turnips, entered the King's antechamber. His majesty or dered him to be admitted. The peasant, by way of express ing his acknowledgement, emptied his bag of turnips on the table ; then picking out a few small ones, he handed them to the Queen, telling her that, if she would keep one of them in her mouth when she was spinning, it would help her to wet the thread properly. The Queen was pleased with the good familiarity of the man, and he was dismissed with a present. —Campbell's Frederick the Great and his Times. THE TEXAN LADIES AND GENTLEDIEN.—The Texan ladies seldom show themselves to strangers, and, like those of the United States, they use either the pipe or the swab. They have little neatness or cleanliness 9f person to attract the eye. Their figures are scarcely to be described ; coarse, from neglect, or .emaciated by self-indulgence, their skins have borrowed from the sun the exact hue of the lemon ; and if the countenance be a true index of the mind, I doubt not that their dispositions have somwhat of the peculiar flavour of that sour bullet of the tropic; but yet, to those who ad mire silence above everything else in woman, permit me to introduce the ladies of Texas, par excellence, as mutes. 7 The usual salutation of the Texan gentlemen is, " How does your copperosity sagaciate this morning ?"—How are you now ?" (this is all after an absence of some years.) " A pretty con siderable of a jug full of sun this morning,"—A lartiation up -street sort of a day this, I calculate." On entering into conversation, they take out their knives and commence " whittling." So great is their propensity for " whittling,' that they f requently, if sitting on. a chair, put down their hand and b r i ng it up again with a long slice off one of the legs, which th ey begin to " whittle, " and " calculate" the exact value p er t h ousand of the wood of which the chairs are made.

SECOND EDITION. Stand 4 Ird-o . ifice, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL, CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY• (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) Since this day week the receipts of Grain and Flour into this port, Coastwise ald frOm Ireland meal we have to note a fair supply. Wheat, with a few parcels of Barley, Beans, and Pease, com pose the only arrivals from the European Continent, and from the American States nearly 14,000 barrels of Flour. The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat meal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st January, 1842 :—ln bond. Wheat, 76,652 qrs. ; Barley, 10,431 qrs. ; Oats, 14,851 qrs. ; Rye, qrs. ; Beans, 18,870 qrs. ; Pease, 6,877 qrs. ; Flour, 70,461 brls., and sks.—Free. Wheat, 135,000 qrs.; Barley, 10,000 qrs. ; Oats, 25,000 qrs. ; Rye, 1000 qrs. ; Beans, 30,000 qrs. ; Pease, 12,000 qrs. ; Flour, 75,000 brls., and 12,000 sacks ; Oatmeal, 80,000 loads. Of Wheat, from the neighbouring growers, the deliveries weekly, since harvest, have been about equal in amount with those of late years, and the quality and condition, although partly damp and inferior, have more gemerally proved good, the major portion of the crop around us having been secured in better order than in many other parts of the kingdom. In the absence of any information on the views of govern ment, relative to the projected change in the corn-laws, the trade is still held in suspense, and latterly, the millers and dealers, although mostly bare of stock, have been much on the reserve. At this day's market, however, a firmer feeling was evinced, and good red Baltic, with some kinds of Medi terranean Wheats, were sold to a fair extent to consumers, at an advance of ld. per 701bs. ; all descriptions of English and Irish remaining unaltered in value. Of bonded Wheat, a few parcels have been taken to hold over, Polish Odessa and Ancona at 7s, and Barletta at 7s 6d per 701bs. I, are small, but of Oat tt moderate quantity of States and Canadian Flour, duty paid, were in moderate demand at an amendment of 6d. per barrel, but in English and Irish there was no improvement. Barley, being less plentiful, was the turn dearer; Malt, Beans, and Pease, at the same time, remaining dull, at former prices. Fine Irish Oats were in some request, on the terms last noted, whilst ordinary descriptions continued to be nearly without inquiry ; and Oatmeal, upon a limited sale, scarcely realised our quotations of this day se'nuight.

TOE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.—Lord Willoughby D' Ereshy hai received the usual official notice from the Lord Chamberlain's department of the intention of her Majesty to open the ensuing session of parliament on Thursday next in person ; and Mr. Pulman, the deputy black rod, is daily engaged at the House of Lords in directing the necessary preparations, as the ceremony will derive an unusual splen dour from the circumstance of the visit of the King of Prus sia, who will be present. The state chair of his Majesty will be placed on the right of the Queen, and on th e l e ft o f t h ese , seats will be pro v id e d f or th e Duchess of Kent, Gloucester, and Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge. The King of Prussia will go in separate state to the house, and will be received with the usual honours paid to crowned heads. • France, M. Guizot solemnly declared in his calm and elo quent speech in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday last, is not only wishful to maintain friendly relations with Spain, but is disposed to- do that country every good office within its pOwer. We are enabled to opportunely illustrate the sincerity of this declaration. At the very moment when the Salvandy complication arose at Madrid, M. Guizot was, we are assured by competent authority, engaged, in concert with the Earl of Aberdeen, in an endeavour to induce the Austrian and Prussian cabinets to recognise the Queen of Spain. This negotiation was, moreover, on the eve of success when the obstinacy of the Spanish ministers awakened the mistrust of these powers, and frustrated the negotiation. Murniny Herald. DREADFUL STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION IN SHEFFIELD. —Yesterday (Monday) morning, about seven o'clock, the neighbourhood of Philadephia Works in this town, was alarm ed by a report, loud as a discharge of artillery, occasioned by the explosion of a large steam-boiler on that establish ment, the precise cause of which has not yet been explained. Both of the bottom ends of the boiler were blown completely out, though it is stated that the steam had not been got thoroughly up, and that there was such a sufficiency of water as to wash the gravel off a road at some distance when the explosion occurred. The engine was one of forty-horse power ; and its te n t er , George Rhodes, was thrown violently into . the adjoining dam by the convulsion ; but it is hoped he is not very dangerously injured ; whilst Joseph Simpson, a man temporarily engaged at the works, was projected a distance of at least twenty yards, where he was found with his head bowed close to his belly, in a state which leaves little hope of his recovery. Both the unfortunate men were imme diately taken to the Infirmary. After the accident, many marks of its terrific nature might be seen around. Several ponderous materials had been thrown into the dam. breaking a wooden bridge with their weight. Immense quantities of shattered bricks, stones, &c., had been thrown each way at least one hundred yards from the spot, and the boiler was loosned on its standing.. Besides the loss the proprietors will sustain by this accident, it is more deeply to be regretted that a deserving family is likely to be bereft of its sole support, poor Simpson having a wife and three young children depen ding on his labour. He is said to have been a remarkably worthy and industrious man, and we sincerely hope that every possible effort will be made to alleviate the distress this oc currence cannot fail to occasion in his family.—Sheffield BRUTAL MURDEIt OF A WIFE 13Y HER HUSBAND.-- On Sunday night last, one of the most brutal murders which it has ever been our painful duty to record, was committed in the immediate neighbourhood of this town, on the Bally nafeigh-road, which.leads from the Lagan village to Newton breda, by a person named James Lindsay, clerk to Messrs. Coates and Young, of the Lagan foundry. He had been drinking, and returned home about eleven o'clock on that night, and was let in by the servant boy • he then went to th e girl's bed-room and as k e d h er if she hadbrought her mistress any spirits that day, and we understand that the girl said she had got half a pint at a neighbouring public house. The boy and girl then left the house and went into an out-office to save themselves being abused, which they feared. 'When Lindsay got the house to himself he commenced to beat his wife, and the servants heard her cry in the night, and in the morning found her dead in the kitchen, with her head severely cut, her body blackened all over as if it had been done by kicks, two of her fingers and one of her arms broken, and a large quantity of blood on her clothes, and on the bed in which she had been lying. After he had committed the fatal deed, he went for Dr. Murray, of Ballymacarrett, and re turned with hi m t o the house. We understand he then called on William Coates, Esq ., j.p., one of ' employers, and stated th a t his wife wa s dead, and that he was sorry for it, as h e had given her a beating with a stick. At the in quest a verdict of wilful murder was returned.—BelfaNt Chronicle. WEXFORD, Jan. 27 -The schooner Sarah, went to pieces last evening.

The stocks are not heavy,—the weather has been very severe ;—there is a talk of an improvement in commercial matters generally ;—still are we wanting that animation, which in bye-gone times the trade was wont to enjoy at this period of the year. Holders, even of tine Butter, are more inclined since our last to go with the current, and prices are consequently 2s to 35 per barrel lower. Belfast, Kilkenny, &c. we may quote at 945 to 965. Cork pickled Butter is still at 84s, (a price which we cannot help thinking it would be very safe for a speculator to give for every pound hi the market), and nothing doing. Irish Beef and Pork is as slack a sale, as the most inveterate " tree trader" can wish it to be ; and in Bacon there is only a retail business going on, at about 54s to rbs for the best meat. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE: JAN, 28. The duty upon Foreign Barley is raised to Bs. 4d., on Oats to 16s. 9d., on Rye to Bs., on Beans to 16s. 9(1., on Pease to 15s. (id. per quarter ; remaining upon Foreign Wheat and Flour, and upon all sorts of produce from British colonies out of Europe, the same as last week. Since the 25th instant the supplies of Grain and Oatmeal into this port arc upon the whole rather light, the arrival of nearly 1.1,000 barrels of States Flour forming the only pro minent feature in the imports beneath. During the interval between Tuesday and to-day, Wheat and Flour in bond and to arrive have excited so?ne little in quiry, but without any actual business of moment having been done ; and for all free articles the trade up to this date has continued languid. Although in the face of a very limited number of buyers at our Corn-exchange this morning, and an exceedingly inactive trade for free Wheat of all descriptions, the holders firmly adhered to the current rates of Tuesday, which, in the few on the terms last noted. sales effe c t e d , were maintaine d . Fl our was also ta k en o ff very sparingly,Barley, Malt, B eans, an d P ea se continued t o rule ex tremely dull at late prices ; and Oats, as well as Oatmeal, participating in the same degree of languor with other ar ticles, barely supported our last quotations. tippuici fintflig:fiut FRIDAY, JANUARY 2.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 28. Notwithstanding the arrivals of Grain this week are trifling, the trade remains in the same inanimate state we have lately had oc casion so often to notice. The sales of Wheat were quite of a retail character, at last week's prices. [folders did not, however, generally press sales. Fine malting Barley the turn dearer, but no improvement in other kinds. Oats and Beaus still remain as dull as ever, but for the small quantities disposed of, the rates lately noticed were made. Shelling yather dearer. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 28. We do not observe any alteration in the value of dry Wheat since Monday, but the samples out of condition are very unsaleable. There has been a fair retail trade in free Foreign, but although there is still some inquiry for bonded, the buyers will not pay the rates demanded.

Prime old Downs, which were very scarce, sold freely at full prices ; but in other kinds of Sheep next to nothing was passing, yet a good clearance was effected. Very few Calves were brought forward, owing to which the Veal trade was brisk at au advance of 2d per Sibs. For Pigs there was a steady demand at fully late rates. Mitch Cows sold slowly, at from -t•ld to .e,l each, including their smf,llCalf. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JAN. 28. Sugar.—The demand has been limited and the sales of B.

There have been no transactions in Pot or Pearl Ashes woelhy of notice by private contract, but today 200 brls. of damaged Pot and Pearl Ashes were sold by auction at 23s to 25s per cwt., which is no criterion for the price of sound Ashes, the quotations of which are continued,- though they were almost nominal. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN..2B. There is no new feature in our market to-day : it is tame and languid ' • the demand to-day has only been to the ex tent of 2,500 to 3,000 bales, at prices on a par with business early in the week. The weekly sales are 20,150 bales, of which 1,200 have been taken for export, and 450 on specula tion. Surats are rather dearer this week, and new Boweds, particularly about fair, are somewhat easier, perhaps id. per lb. The market closes steadily.

The market remains in the same state as last week. The sales on Saturday amount to 30a0 bales. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT.
