MANCHESTER CORNEXCHANGE,Mmecn 6. M our market to-day we have a fair steady demand for 'Wheat and Flour, at prices rather exceeding what were obtain able last week, but we continue the quotations of that day. The high price of Oats and Oatmeal, as compared with Beans and Flour, confine the sales of the former to mere retail quan tities. Beans go off slowly, at barely former rates. Fine Malt steady, but for secondary and inferior qualities there is not the least inquiry. Peas and Barley in moderate'request, at former 'prices. • The increasing extent of demand from France for English Wheat, put free ,on board at prices higher than (all expenses considered) can be obtained in any of our - own markets for 'home consumption, begins to excite much attention, whilst the probable wants-of other Continental States seem daily to as sume a more•serious aspect. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MARCH 5. Sugar. The market remains very quiet, wand the sales of B. P. are only 250 Mids., chiefly new Barbadoes, in addition to which 5000 bags Bengal have also been disposed of, at rather easier rates.

The sales are 20 cases and 1350 brls. and bags Brazil and 1250 boxes Havana, more than oneshalf of which were washed.—Molasses. No sales.—Coffee.

The demand from the trade has become-more general this week, but they still continue to purchase only for the supply of their immediate - wants. Speculators and exporters are daily operating, but the quantity offering being large, the market wears rather a heavy appearance, closing quietly at the quota tions of last week for all kinds. Speculators have taken 7000 American, and exporters 850 American, 250 Pernambuco, and NO Surat. There have been forwarded into the country unsold during the past month 4520 American and 180 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, Forthe week ending sth March, 1047. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,.AIARcH 2 Although we have a continuance of east winds with frost, several Grain vessels have arrived here Coastwise, but from Ireland we have nothing worth naming and from abroad the imports of the week are on the whole very moderate. There was a large demand for Wheat, for export and home consumption, ut an advance of from 3d. to 4d. per bushel. ,Some floating cargoes changed hands at improved rates. Flour advanced 6d. per barrel, with a better demand. Indian Corn continued to meet buyers at the rates of this day week. In other articles a slow sale at former prices. In order to arrive at a correct estimate of the present stock of Wheat and Flour, we have ascertained as accurately as pos. sible the quantity of each remaining on hand, duty-paid, at this port, on the 26th January last, at which period the Corn law suspension took effect; and taking the subsequent release from vicinity iecrrnt ratio for ft i o t or s % , N e i c t 2 h o; ti t s : ,ieu consumption lo p tr nary, we s i a s d n ' e t a r l s t h t w i e l e e i l i l n s a n t s o i e c a t k liT o t e - f Wheat 62,633 qrs., and of Flou.-1;:387.797 barrels to be fairly esti oa the. 26th mated, may nuty Duty-paid d h et Stockater about be considered sour. qrs. ; Flour, 80,000 bris.

Prevented by a continuance of adVerse winds, the arrivals of either British or Foreign produce into this port since Monday last, are , on the whole, limited in amount; and though several grain vessels May be near at hand, it appears too early in the season to expect any immediate large supplies from distant parts abroad. The trade fin• Wheat during the interval from Tuesday last has ruled very firm upon sales conned chiefly to local con sumers, awl on a moderate scale; while the transactions in American Flour were to a fair extent at an improvement of 6d. per barrel; all Spring Corn, however, was exceedingly dull of sale at our last quotations, though the quantity of most des criptions here is light. Upon a very slender appearance of country buyers at this day's market, and . our home miller's inactive, few sales of Wheat were effected, but all descriptions being held steadily on the terms last noted, our last cnrrency remained unvaried. oe American Flour some further parcels were disposed of to day, partly from Ireland, and though the demand in some de gree abated, the advance above named was repeated, good brands of Western realising 425. to 415. ed. per barrel. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Petoe, in fact any kind of Spring Corn,i stxmed to meet very little notice this morning, a n d all ex iibita a rather lower tendency; Oats especially were much nejlected, and were decidedly somewhat depressed in value. Oatmeal was in slow request at late prices. Indian Corn likewise, was taken snore sparingly to-day than at an earlier period of the week, but as the wants of and ex ports to Ireland are still considerable, our last quotations are maintained. The weather is still cold, but being dry, an d th e so il i n thi s circle of the country meliorated by the late frost, is in tine 9rder for Ow. I rsh6oll) old . . I blue.. . grey... THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Oatteto. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 5. There is a good arrival of Wheat, for which we have a steady consumptive demand, at an improvement of Is. to 2s. per qr. Barley is in moderate request, and supports last week's prices. Oats and Shelling bring full as much money. Beans meet a dull limited sale, and are Is. per qr. lower. LIVERPOOL SHARE LIST. SHARES.

PRESBYTERIAN Cnuacti.---We learn that the Lanca shire Presbytery, in connexion with the English Presby terian Synod, have ordered all the ministers within their bounds, to call their flocks to the exercise of humiliation connected with the prevailing national calamity, and of prayer to Almighty God that He would withdraw the visi tations of His anger.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. —On Friday evening week, Mrs. Leadbetter; wife of a sharebroker in Manchester, who has resided for some time past at Walton-le-D a l e , , ' near Preston, went out after admi n i s t er i ng w h at she called a dose of medicine to her five children. The children - becoming very ill, and the mother who had been in a low - state of mind, not returning, suspicions were excited and medical assistance was called in. They were found to be labouring from the effects of poison, from which all re covered except one, a little girl, who died the following day. , Nothing was heard of the wretched mother until Saturday morning, when her body was discovered drowned in the River Ribble. The verdict of the coroner's jury was temporary insanity. RUNCORN.—Tuesday, Sir Thomas Freemantle, chair man of the Board of Customs, F. Gardner, Esq. secre tary, and William Gardener, Esq., collector of Manches ter; accompanied by George Loch, Esq., G. S. Ferraday • Smith, Esq., the treasurer, and several of the agen t s o f the rideewater Trust and the Old Quay Company, visited Runcorn for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements consequent upon the formation of Runcorn as a bonded port. Runcorn, Weston Point, Frodsham, • and Widnes, will be comprised within the limits of the port. The committee-room and offices of the Old Quay ' .Company, will he used as a custom house pro tern. The bonded warehouse, for the reception of goods, will be - ready by the sth of April. Th e port of Runcorn pos sesses facilities for the discharge and transhipment of - goods, which, when fully developed, will not be surpassed by any port in the kingdom. The heavy item of cartage will he entirely avoided, as goods can be discharged direct - into the warehouses and re-shipped into boats for all parts of the kingdom. These advantages will speedily be ap preciated and adopted by the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and War wickshire. The river flats, we are informed, will not be subjected to any custom-house formalities, but will pro ceed as at present without any interruption. Buildings are progressing rapidly, and no sooner is the foundation of any house laid, than there are numerous applications for a preference. MEETING OF THE- COTTON TRADE IN MANCHESTER.— On Tuesday afternoon, a meeting of the cotton trade, convened by the mayor in compliance wirh a requisition signed by upwards of thi r ty o f th e p r i nc i pa l fi rms , was hed in the Town-hall, Manchester, to consider the pro priety of taking some steps to promote and encourage the • cultivation of cotton in India. Thomas 13a - 7ley Esq., pre sident of the Manchester Commercial Association, in a lengthy and excellent speech, moved the first resolution, , expressive of the opinion of the meeting that an appeal should be made to the legislature to enforce the develop ment of the resources of India, and thus to promote the ' increased growth and supply of cotton. He complained of the heavy land-tax imposed on the native cultivator s -- a tax which corresponded with the crop raised. From calculations he had in the course of last year made, as to rapid increase in the s pi nn i ng establishments ofi Lan cashire, he had arrived at the conclusion that one factory was erected, on the average, every week. The power of consumption then amounted, at the termination of the year, to fully five thousand bales per week ; yet last year there was a diminished supply of half a million bales of cotton. This showed the necessity for British manufac turers to look for more than one field. Cotton might be grown in forty or fifty parts of the world. A petition to the House of Commons was, after some discussion, adopted, praying for the appointment of a select commit tee to make a full and searching enquiry into all the cir- • cumstances which affect the cultivation of cotton in India. THE DANGERS OF LANCASTER SANDS.—On Sunday week, these sands, which have proved fatal to many an in cautious and adventurous traveller, were within an ace of becoming the theatre of a wholesale catastrophe. On the arrival, shortly before three o'clock in the afternoon, of one of the Ulverstone coaches from Lancaster, at the river Keer, which empties itself into Morecambe Bay, a short distance from Kent's Bank, and is the first stream of any magnitude to be forded, Croskill, the guide, could not be found. Anxious to avoid delay, the driver, W. Fleming, attempted to cross, but feeling the sands give way beneath his horses' feet, was compelled to turn back. The driver then made a second attempt, a little lower down, but with a still more disastrous result, both coach and horses gradually sinking until the forewheels were no longer visible, and the animals themselves above chest deep in the unexpected quick-sand. The passengers, of whom there was a full complement, lent their assistance, at considerable personal risk, in cutting the traces, and . extricating the horses. The leaders, being near the op posite side, were got out with less difficulty than could have been anticipated •, but the wheelers were so deeply embedded, that it was feared they would have to be aban doned. A last, and, as it fortunately proved, a successful, effort was made. The poor creatures, however, were so worn out by their struggles, that on being dragged high and dry, they could barely retain their footing. Three of 7 the passengers pursued their journey on foot across the • sands, notwithstanding the unfortunate plight they must , naturally have been in from lmlf an hour's immersion to , the breast, and reached Kent's Bank, the next stage, a distance of about seven miles : in safety. The coach was not recovered until next morning. ANNUAL DINNER OF THE WIRRAL FARMERS.—This dinner took place on Thursday at the Horse and Jockey, in Upton. There was an excellent show of live stock, including some fine hulls bred by Sir W. M. Stanley. The ploughing matches were the great feature of the day, and attracted crowds of spectators. They took place on the farms of Mr. Astin and Mr. John Stanley, at Songhai' Massie. Upwards of thirty-five competitors were entered, being eight more than on any former occasion. The deci sions of the judges gave great satisfaction. At'the dinner, William Jackson, Esq. ' prbsided, and amo n gs t th e com pany were many of the first land proprietors of the neigh- bourhood. After the usual loyal toasts, the success of the "Wirral Farmers' Club and Sir William Stanley " was - eloquently proposed by the chairman, and enthusiastically received. He alluded to the stock exhibited, and added : —" A still greater advance in agricultural skill has been displayed to-day by •the competitors for the prizes for pleoehing, which all. admit is greatly superior to that of any Miler year. I am but an infant in knowledge on. such matters, yet I could not traverse those fields to-day , with Out clearly discerning the skill with which they bad . been ploughed. A man more earnest in the cause of agri culture than Sir W. Stanley could not exist." The Gen tlemen of the Hooton Hunt-, connected with the name of C. Stanley, Esq., was then given and responded to by that gentleman in feeling and eloquent terms. He spoke in terms of admiration of his two relatives near Hooton, who -. had done so much towards draining the bad land on their estates, particular a farm in Low-field had almost been recovered from a marsh. He had been delighted, some short time since, to see the extensive scale on which draiuing was conducted.—The first prize of £5, to the - owner of the hest agricultural stallion kept for. general purposes, was awarded to Mr. Match, of Bidston-cum- Ford. The second, for the best boar—no competition. The third, for the best bull, value £6; was awarded to Sir Wm. Stanley, Bart. The fourth, value £4, for the best mulch cow, was awarded to Mr. Everall, Arrowe firm.—The ploughing, for which 47 ploughs- were en tered, took place on lands belonging to Mr. J. Austen and J. Stanley, Esq., was of a very superior description, mid elicited the warm admiration of the judges (Mr. Brown, Grange ; Mr. Simpson, Court-house ; and Mr. Laiigton,"Raiiihill—who were also judges of the stock.) --The first prize of £5 a-as awarded to Thomas Bather, servant to W. Webster, Esq. ; the second, to R. M`Call, • servant to Mr. Walker, Stourton; the third, to T. Smith, and time fourth, to J. Cummins, both servants of J. was Jackson, Esq..
