Mr. 11 AsTIE moved that, as it appeared by the returns on the table that at an average of years, with average crops, a sufficient quantity of corn is not produced in this country for the food of the population, the deficiency amounting to about one million quarters of wheat, 250,000 quarters of barley, and 250,000 quarters of oats; that in each year, and before the scale of duties comes into operation , the follow ing quantities of grain shall be admitted for home consump. tion at a duty of one shilling per quarter—viz.: 1,000.000 quarters of wheat, 250,000 quarters of barley. and 250,000 quarters of oats. Sir R. PEEL said that of all the motions he ever heard of this was the most extravagant. Such a compulsory impor tation, without reference to the existing supply, would have the effect of deprelling the markets at a time when they might be already far too much depressed from other causes. lie would not give bts consent to the proposition. The motion Was *ithdrawn. The report was then agreed to, the orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. UNITED STATES The New York Packet Ship, United States, Captain Brit ton, which sailed on the afternoon of the 14th ult. arrived at this port on Wednesday having made one of the quickest passages on record. She made the run from port to port in fifteen days. The- money market has undergone but little alteration. There had been a fair demand for bills on Lon don. The rate of Exchange on this country was Bto 81, and on France from 5, 281, to 5, 271. Bills on London 107 to 108. Treasury notes were selling at per cent. discount. There had been some heavy and destructive freshets at the south. Flour was selling at 6 dlrs. 371 cts., the market steady. Pot ashes at 6 dirs. 50 cts., but all remaining were held by one house at 7 ; pearls were offered at 5 dlrs. 75 cts., but no sales. Cotton was firm and active, particularly for the good qualities: Upland and Florida 6-1 to 0, Mobile 7 to 10, New Orleans 7to 10, and Texas (short price) 8. Freights dull—Cotton to Liverpool 5-16 d. to 3-Bd. sterling per lb. The schooner Mokina, from Cape de Verds, reported that the stern boat and some water casks belonging to the Presi dent had been picked up by a vessel and carried into St. Nicholas. The Mokina also reported the loss, on the Hart well Reef, of a British brig, with a valuable cargo for the River Plate : all hands saved and half the cargo. The fight alluded to in the last advices, between the Monte Videau and Buenos Ayrean fleets, had resulted in the capture of one of the Monte Videan brigs. The advices are up to the 22nd December from Monte Video, up to which period the re mainder of the squadron had not been heard of. Cathagena papers to December 22, had been received at New York. The siege and blockade of Cathagena had been raised, and the rebellion appears in a good measure suppressed. The provinces of Veragua and Panama were re-united to the republic of Grenada. We were unable to find room in our last for the following additional particulars of intelligence brought by the George Washington. At the trial of Mr. Jaudon, the following account of the great cotton speculation of Messrs. Biddle and Jaudon was elicited : " Ashbel Green Jaudon, a brother of the accused, testifies before the Judge, that N. Biddle and Samuel Jaudon entered into an agreement or partnership in the transaction referred to, and furnished the witness, A. G. Jaudon, with funds of the bank to carry on the business as their agent. Under this arrangement the witness obtained, at different times, about 2,0041,000 dols. from the bank, with which he purchased cotton and tobacco at New Orleans. He was allowed 2 per cent. commission on these purchases, and stated that this charge was added to the original cost of the merchandise. The goods were then shipped by him to the most eligible European markets, and sold. Besides the commission al lowed him for purchasing the cotton and tobacco, which ~mounted to about 40,000 dols., the witness said he received a bonification commission' on the return or proceeds of sales, which amounted to upwards of 20,000 dols. more— making his compensation as agent rising 60,000 dols. The money was obtained from the bank by credits passed to the witness's account, on tickets or orders signed by Mr. Cow. perthwaite, cashier. The profits arising to the principals in this transaction amounted to about 50,000 dols. ' which was equally divided between them. The witness said he paid the 25,000 dols. due to Mr. Biddle himself ; the remainder was passed to his credit, he being then in London. It also ap peared in evidence before the Judge, that this business was conducted through the Committee on Foreign Exchanges, and apparently with their knowledge and consent; but two of the gentlemen who were members of that committee at the time, testified that they were wholly ignorant of the nature of the transaction, and would not have permitted its progress had they known it." The accounts of the state of credit of the United States government contained in the New York papers are of the most formidable description. lu the first place there was the deficit of 600,000 dols. on the Ist of January, and it appears that since that period all claims upon the government have been dishonoured. The army and navy are stated to be with out pay, and the outstanding treasury notes being at a dis count, are almost the only means of payment into the public treasury, the payments by these being nearly 9-10ths of the total receipts. Such a state of things, of course, causes a general alarm ; besides which an anxiety was felt as e to the effect to be produced by the bankrupt law, which was to come into operation on the Ist inst. Even the soundest banks are said to have participated in the uneasiness, and to be, there fore, exceedingly cautious in all their movements. Nume rous obligations, it is expected, will be swept away, and as they only served to embarrass the parties on whom they lay, this effect of the law is looked upon as rather beneficial than otherwise, though at the same time it is expected that little or nothing will be realised by creditors. That it does not apply to corporations seems to be a subject of general regret, as this is considered to be the only way by which the rotten banks could be swept off. At New York there was a report that on the 28th ult. the assets lately assigned by the " United States Bank" to trustees, and placed under the charge of Mr. Frazer, were seized at New Orleans by the marshal of the - United States for damages obtained under the judgment on the French bill. In Ohio there seems to be ' some real progress towards resumption, as the state legisla ' ture has passed a law that specie payments shall commence on the 4th of March. EXPLOSION OF A FIREWORKS MANUFACTORY, One of the most appalling and fatally-calamitous explo sions that has occurred in or near the metropolis, took place on Monday. at Mr. D'Ernst's fireworks manufactory, Lam beth-butts, by which the premises have been destroyed, and four lives have been sacrificed. The following is an accurate statement of the facts col lected on the spot, up to a late hour in the evening ,—At twenty minutes to twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Lam beth, Kennington, Vauxhall, and the surrounding neighbour hood, were alarmed by a loud report such as is usually pro duced by the ignition of gunpowder in large quantities, or perhaps resembling more strictly the explosion of gas. This was rapidly followed by reports of less violence of sound, but sufficiently loud to create serious apprehension even to per sons residing some hundred yards distant. The first im pression was that the Vauxhall Gas-works had exploded, and that the successive discharges were created by the bursting of the retorts. In a very few minutes, however, the nature of the calamity and its situation were made manifest by a dense body of smoke which ascended above the hcuses on the north side of Lambeth-walk, behind which the factory had been erected some few years back by Mr. D'Ernst, when he was engaged as pyrotechnist at Vauxhall-gardens. It was a detached building, situate in a piece of waste ground, but for which circumstance it is impossible to speculate on the havoc that must have ensued. ___ . . . - ----- An abundant - supply of water was speedily obtained from the main pipes, and seven or eight large engines were brought to bear on the south-west angle of the building, which was easiest of access, there being at the other extremity enclosed ground, attached to some small cottages, the inmates of which fled o u t i n th e most p iti a bl e cons t e rnation, conceiving that the whole place must be blown up. In less than half an hour the factory itself was reduced to complete ruin, and the dwelling-house in front, a slight building, two stories high, shared the same fate soon after. The discharge of fire works having created sufficient apertures, the firemen directed all their attention to the cellarage, with the view of prevent ing the expected explosion of gunpowder, it having been ascertained, beyond all doubt, that there were on the premi ses at least six barrel s of th a t t err ibl e com b ust ib le. B y great exertion they were enabled to throw in some thousan - d tons of water directly over the cellars, so that the ground was covered to the depth of two inches. The fire was got under in less than an hour, and about four o'clock, after considerable exertion on the part of the police and firemen on duty, the bodies of all the unfortunate persons who lost their lives by this melancholy catastrophe were ex tricated from the ruins ; their names and ages (as nearly as could be ascertained in the confusion which prevail e d) were as follows :—Mr. D' Ernst, aged 45 years, the owner of the manufactory; Mrs. Hampshire, his sister-in-law, about the age ; John Whiting , aged 32, who worked on the pre. mises sae ; and an errand-boy, aged about 18.

Forester's Lady Langford Abbot. Baron Rothschild's Consul Thus it will be seen that fifteen horses came to the start, and as a shrewd countryman remarked--" a precious soight more than 'ud come back together." The start took place in a field on the other—or rather this—side of the road. Sam Weller made the running, Lottery and Peter Simple hard upon him, a lot behind them, Gaylad and Seventy-four last. Peter Sim ple and Lottery were the first over the great leap, Consul, Banathlath and a third were not quite so successful. Con sul gave up as useless con esting any further, and was hors de combat. The other two got over and went to it again with spirit THE FENCE AND WATER-PIECE AT THE CANAL. One of the most difficult leaps was that across the fence and water-piece, close to the canal, at the north-east turn of the course, and at which the riders had to clear, at one bound, first a rail, next a broken hedge, and next a brook, at right angles with the canal. The leap was to be made from a stub ble field into a ploughed corn field,—the former, wet and slippy, and the latter, close to the brook, so soft and spongy, that it was expected some of the horses would sink to their knees. The heavy rain of the morning had so greatly in creased the difficulties of the footing, that the brook—here dammed up—was afterwards contracted considerably from its originally intended breadth, so that the water at the lower and widest part was not more than a yard and a half across. The descent, from the first field to the other , appeared also to have been reduced since the last steeple chase by the land being forced ; but the general heaviness of the ground, and the peculiarity of the footing stated, rendered the leap, never theless, one of an adventurous nature , thoug ht, as the result showed, ' not so perilous as before,—(when on one occasion one fine animal had its back broken, and others came down) —for on this occasion the horses generally took it cleverly, not one of them in either race falling or throwing its rider. Here some two or three hundred persons congregated on the canal bank, which at this point, and close to the leap, forms a sloping embankment of considerable elevation, from which the spectators could see the " tug of war" over each other's heads, not only at the spot, but command a view of the opposite side of the course, and the fields forming the extreme turn on the east. There was a brisk cold wind up from the south-west, blowing in their faces, and many of them became so much chilled from its effects, as well as the wetness of the ground, that they became iin- patient of the long delay in starting—upwards of an hour beyond the specified time—which was one o'clock. Consi derable amusement was, however, afforded by the jokes passed on an old farmer who busied himself in keeping the brook dammed up, and turning parties out of the wheat field, into the soft and treacherous soil, of which many of them sunk ancle deep, amidst the laughter of the bystanders ; and while in this predicament, were served with peremptory notice of ejectment by the tall " old one," who, with knee breeches and leggings, and drab top coat, with large cape, and armed with a long-handled bill-hook, resembled a jave lin-man at the assizes. Some sailors also excited much merriment by quizzing the canal boatmen as they passed. " Is that a seventy-four or a frigate ?" cried one, ." Only a dung barge," said another ; " but Seventy-four (one of the horses) is coming up." " What is your longitude, cap tain ?" cried another, " and how long is it since you last saw land?" At length the steeple-chasers were seen scouring along the opposite side of the course, Lottery, Bannathlath, and ano ther considerably in advance, followed by thirteen or four. teen others. Two of the troop were minus before they got up to the canal, one of them, Sam Weller, having run away after dismounting his rider, who, however, got up, and finally captured him. The bay mare (light blue), Colum bine, first got over gallantly ; next came Consul, close up, and met, almost together, Peter Simple and Seventy-Four. The others came nearly all " in a ruck," and all got over well. One of the riders, before his horse quite recovered himself from the descent, got on the animal's neck, but im mediately recovered himself, and struggled on. The sight was beautiful from the number of horses, and the skill and energy displayed. At the leap above, west of the canal bridge, —a ditch and high rail beyond it—one of the rails was broken down, and the whole took the gap, both in this round and the second, — thus having easier work of it than they expected. The ploughed field into which they alighted was hoof-trodden near the fence to a breadth of only about a couple of yards. At the lane above, close to the bridge, the second leap, from the lane into the race-course, was difficult, but the whole got over with some changing of places. On arriving at the ditch, opposite the Grand Stand, the sight was beautiful,—Peter Simple coming over first by a couple of lengths, Seventy-four, Columbine, Consul, and Lottery next—the others coming up immediately afterwards. Having reached the starting-place Satirist fell and was drawn off, as was afterwards Lottery, the old horse being too heavy weighted to stand the heavy ground. At the canal, in the second round, Seventy-four first made the leap, closely followed by Peter Simple, and he by Gay Lad, and Lottery. Few of the others came up. The last, however, being heavily weighted, began to find the work too hard for him on approaching the canal bridge, and gave up the contest at the bottom of the race-course. The leap above the canal brook was made by the broken rail as before. Gay Lad made desperate play, and was nearly down on his side, at the bottom of the course, just before reaching the canal leap, but came up gallantly. On coming in the position of the horses was about as fol lows :—Gay Lad gaily leading, Seventy-four, Peter Simple, The Returned, Banathlath, Luck's-all, amongst whom a very animated struggle ensued. The others being so for be hind that it is a question whether they will arrive this week or the next. The race was done in twelve minutes. The Returned seemed greatly distressed. " Dr." Lucas being on the ground was " called in" to the patient; after a dose of brandy had been administered, he recovered so far as to walk to his stables. The next steeple chase was for The PRINCE OF WALES'S Cue, value 100 guineas, given by the Town of Liverpool, added to a Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, h ft, for Maiden Horses of all denominations, car rying 12st. 71b. each.

Mr Moore's b g The Game Chicken (Owner) 3 Mr Tomlinson ns g g Jim-along-Josey (Owner) 4 The betting was about 7 to 4 agst Claude Duval, 3 to 1 agst Game Chicken. The Chicken made the running —Claude Duval second, Jim-along-Josey next, and Forget-me-not last. As first seen from the canal leap, the grey horse Jim-along -Josey had the lead ou the opposite side of the course, but soon lost it. The whole went at little more than a can ter the first time round. At the canal Columbine first took the leap ; next came Forget-me-not, followed by Game Chicken, Claude Duval, and lastly the grey horse, which last appeared to be a strong leaper, and was frequently held in by his rider. Columbine had so far the lead, that he drew up almost to a trot on approaching the leaps at the bottom of tl‘e course, to breathe his horse, and then darted forward like an arrow, and cleared them gallantly. We should re mark that Forget• me-not crept through a breach in the fence at the canal, which some lads had broken down by sitting on it. The leaps above, to the race-course, were effected cle verly. In the second round, Columbine still kept the lead at the canal, clearing all. Claude Duval came second, closely followed by Forget-me-not and Jim-along-Josey, these alone coming up. At the second leap at the lane near the bridge, the last-named drew up. The rider of Forget-me-not fell, and some time elapsed before he recovered himself, after which he made ground admirably, and saved his distance. On reaching the hurdles on the course, the leap was beauti fully done, the fdur cowing over at once. The Game Chicken here lost all elfince, and a splendid race ensued between Claude Duval and Forget-me-riot, which eventually ended by Claude coming in first, Forget-me-not second, the Game Chicken third, and Jim-along fourth.

He clung to tke s dor the horse for some time, but eventually fell ; and by some lasualty not well accounted for—probably his reten. Lion of the reins—the horse fell upon him. He was a good deal shaken, but not so seriously as to cause serious appre pension. On recovering from the shock he walked between two men to a house near the top of the race-course, and, we are glad to learn, that being a " tough 'un " he may shortly exclaim as regards the field, " hichard is himself again I" The last race having concluded shortly before dark, nearly all the parties on the ground started off in a body, to return townwards with all possible speed ; and though we have seen a greater assemblage, we never witnessed a more perplexing, or, we may add, dangerous " helter-skelter" on the road. The general feeling appeared to be " home, home," and "suttee qui peat." A vast number of vehicles were in wait ing behind the Grand Stand, and in the highway above it. Those who could afford it, and affected riding, got " births" as soon as they could. Others hurried on on foot ; and the road, for probably two miles in length. became not only thronged, but frequently jammed up, with coaches, cars, omnibusses, gigs, spring-carts, common carts, apd every species of wheeled conveyance,—besides a continued stream of pedestrians, and many dashing blades on horseback. To those on foot the peril was frequent and great ; and numerous were the " hair-breadth 'scapes" from serious, if not fatal, contact. Happily, however, all was good-humour, and a desire for mutual accommodation under the circumstances ; and we have not heard of any fatal accident, though, as might be expected, some " hard knocks" were sustained. Most of the public vehicles were much crowded, as well as the carts and shandreys ; and there were several breaks-down, gene rally, however, with results rather of a ludicrous than a serious nature; and in an hour or two the town, at the Scot land-road end, which was all bustle and commotion, was restored to its accustomed quiet and " propriety." On the ground, we noticed the following amongst the com pany :—Earl of Sefton, Earl and Countess of Eglington, Marquis of Clanricarde, Earl of Chesterfield, Lord Maid stone, Lord Macdonald, Colonel Anson, Sir W. M. Stanley, Sir. R. Brooke, Capt. Stanley. Col. Hornby, Lord Strad broke, Capt. Peel, Hon. M. Villiers, Sir D. Baird, Capt. Gerard, Messrs. Crockford, B. Lloyd, E. G. Hornby, W. H. Hornby, Elmore, Collett, Robinson, Moore, W. H. Johnstone, Ireland Blackburne, A. Graham, Bradley, A. L. Goodman, Anderson, Errington, Davy, John Stanley, Gordon; Hon. F. Craven, and most of the leading gentry of the town and neighbourhood. The booths seemed well attended, the eatables and drink ables being in great request. On the grand stand there were a few ladies, The whole of the arrangements were under the management of Mr. Lynn, whose indefatigability and po liteness were shewn in every instance. THE ALTCAR COURSING MEETING Op Tuesday this most important event commenced, on the excellent ground at Ahem-, which the Earl of Sefton gene rously granted for the purpose. The weather during the whole day was delightfully fine for the season, though the wind during some parts of the day was rather high. The runs, in many instances, were very keen, but we shall only notice one or two of the most severe. There was a very numerous company on the ground throughout the day. That between Stiletto and Bella was of great length and severity, and fully tested the merits of both dogs. Barrier and Queen Bee—the celebrated Queen Bee—also ran a long course, though not so severe as the last, but decidedly in favour of the dog. Holdfast and Carmelite were started for a very fine hare, but got unsighted, and, on being put into the slips again, ran an undecided course, after which Holdfast won very cleverly. That between Rufus and Velocipede was very severe, and ended in the defeat of Mrs. Vicker's dog. Mrs. V. was on the ground, and brought her favourite to the slipper herself. One of the severest rens of the day was be teen Sultan and Maiden Queen, the hare running into a garden, which ended the course ; pussey. however. got out again, and was followed by the dog single-handed. The course between Knab and Kirkharn was a splendid one, and decidedly in favour of the little Newmarket bitch, who re ceived an awkward tumble, but immediately went up and passed her opponent. There were two other undecided events between Lady and the Queen of 'Hearts, and Tyrant and Minerva. The ties for the Waterloo purse, and the second ties for the cup were run off Lear the Hill-house, where some good hares were found. In the cup ties the courses were all excellent, especially that between Priam and Knab, which was won from first to last by Priam, who did all the - Work and killed the hare, after a very long run.

(From the Fermanagh Reporter.) A correspondent, writing from Frederickton, New Bruns wick, under the date of the 30th January last, says, " Perhaps the power of conscience was never more clearly exemplifies than in the following narrative, which I put down in sub stance, in the words of the unfortunate man, as related this day to myelf, from his own lips." The murder was one of those barbarous assassinations which took place a few miles from Bandon, in the year 1833 : " The murderer's name is Patrick Leary. and he states that in the summer of 1833, the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, a pious man, who lived near Bandon, in the county Cork, purported going to Dublin with his nephew, accompanied by a servant ; but the parish priest, who dined with Mr. Hamilton on that day, urged him not to go, but the business was urgent, and he should proceed. The country was then in commotion ; and a young officer of the 36th, who also dined at Mr. Ha milton's in company with the priest, said he was under or ders for Dublin, and would bring an escort for their protec tion, but he passed on without the rev. gentleman, who was waylaid, the reins of hi, horse seized, himself dragged out of his gig, his body stabbed, struck with bludgeons, and finally, Leary dashed out his brains with a large stone I The ser vant and nephew narrowly escaped, but no trace of the law less gang was ever heard of until a few days ago, when a sol dier of the 69th Regiment, named Burgon, now stationed in this town, was joking with his comrade, Patrick Leary, and said, " Leary, I saw you at the Blackpool, and, if I am not mistaken, you are the man who murdered the Rev. Mr. Hamilton." [Leary was the man he enlisted at the depot three years before.] Conscience smitten, although Burgon was only in jest, Leary sent for his commanding officer, Co lonel Motiens, and confessed the whole crime, with many others, which I deem prudent-to suppress at present, but you will have learned the whole history before 1 can again write to you. His deposition and confession were taken down by the proper authority. Leary says he never had any peace of mind since the murder, and that he and his accom plices got only 3s. 6d. each from the society for committing the foul deed. One of the party went to the United States, and , three still reside at Blackpool, whose names and residence he has disclosed. Leary is now in gaol, awaiting orders nom the Horse Guards for transmission home, to pay the just debt he owes the offended laws of his country." It appears by our correspondent's letter that Leary ac knowledged the Rev. Mr. Hamilton was a good man, and that both he and his father's family were repeatedly relieved from hunger and thirst by him ! Oh, the curse of party and private association ! ! We received this communication in time for our publication, but we delaye d publishing thein telligence until the Home Office should have time to make out the warrants for the apprehension of the parties, lest justice might be frustrated. A letter from Berlin of the 19th ultimo has the following paragraphs :—His Majesty the King has fixed for Wednes day, the 23rd. the solemnity of the betrothing of the Prince Royal of Bavaria to the Princess Mary." "Her Majesty the Queen has received an autograph letter from Queen Victoria, written in the German language, in which her Majesty expresses Her joy and gratitude for the visit which she has received from our Monarch. MURDER AT MONKWEARMOUTII.—On Tuesday week a murder of an extremely violent reckless nature was committed in Monkwearmouth, s erland. From the facts given in evidence before the coroner s jury, it is difficult to find a motive which could have induced the commission of such a revolting deed. Thep risoner does not appear to have been so much inebriated as to render him incapable of governing his actions ; and in the perpetration 1)1 the crime he evinced a resolute determination to take the life of the object of his rage. The name of the unfortunate deceased is James Liddell. He was a man who appeared to have been much respected in his station. He was forty-two years of age, and has left a wife and nine children to deplore his melancholy end. The circumstances connected with the mur der are very simple. It appears that the prisoner, James Robertson, who was an anehorsmith, employed in a manu factory, was neglecting his work, and drinking spirits from a bottle in a corner of the shop. The foreman spoke to him, and an interchange of words took place. The short parley resulted in the prisoner's lifting a hammer five and a quarter pounds in weight, and felling the deceased to the ground. The skull was dreadfully fractured, and the un fortunate man lingered in great agony until the following (Wednesday) morning, when death put a period to his suf ferings. At the inquest a verdict of wilful murder was re turned against the prisoner. BRANOV PiO lan VP AT SEA.—Twa pipes of white or pale brandy, No. 58 and 59, scribe across the bung, and marked YE 482 and 483, containing upwards of 100 gallons each, were picked up a few days ago olf St. Agnes, Cornwall, by Captain James Brent, of the Speedwell, on her voyage from Fowey to Swansea. The brandy has since been landed at Swansea, and deposited in the Custom-house warehouse. " FREE TRADE AND NO MONOPOLY. "— It is stated, in circles likely to possess correct information, that Mr. Alder man Brooks, of Manchester, the man who first introduced the " cheap and nasty" salt beef into England from America, as food good enough for an English labourer, has £330,000 of cotton goods lying in Germany and other countries with out a single market for a piece. We mention this with the view of showing the imprudence of merchants and manufac turers sending more goods to distant markets than the foreigners can either buy or use. South America is so glutted with Brittish manufactures that there is no room in the market for any new importation, and then they bawl out for a repeal of the corn laws as a cure for their imprudent speculations. It is supposed that the Brazilians owe us £10,000,000 of money. the British colonies are in the same state, and, unless we can persuade the inhabitants o . New South Wales, New Zealand, &c., to purchase clothe t and stock amounting to £2OO for every individual, it is use less sending any more goods to Australia. Thus ruinously have our Manchester merchants been speculating abroad, and telling the world that the failure of their speculations has been caused by the existence of the corn laws!—Stock port Advertiser. FATAL DUEL IN MALTA.—On the afternoon of the Bth February, (the last day of Carnival) Captain Levick, accom panied by his daughters, was returning home to his residence at Florians, and was near the end of Strada Reale Lieuten ant Adams (who was out of uniform) was walking up the street with four others in single file, when he threw some sugar plums at one of the Misses Levick, a perfectly well understood liberty, during Carnival time, whether towards friends or strangers. Upon Captain Levick observing, or being apprised of this, he went up to Lieutenant Adams, and struck him a blow in the mouth, which was returned. Upon the latter reaching the regimental quarters at Floriana, lie consulted his brother officers, who declared that nothing less than calling out Captain Levick could remove the stain : a challenge was accordingly sent, and the Fa •ties met on the following morning in a field at the back of Fort Ricasoli, at the eastern entrance of the great harbour. They fired, or rather Captain Levick, for Lieutenant Adams's pistol missed fire; but, strange to say, he was ignorant of the fact until he was told so two or three hours after ; at this stage of the unhappy affair correct information is wanting, but it is said that Captain Levick refused to apologise for the blow, whilst Lieutenant Adams offered to express regret at having thrown the sugar plums. The parties then fired again, and Captain Levick's ball struck Lieutenant Adams's right wrist, broke the small bone, and run up his arm to the elbow and then into his body, passing through his liver from end to end, and at last entered the coats of his stomach. He walked from the [(found, accompanied by his second, Captain Jeffries, and Mr. Crosse. assistant-surgeon of the 88th, who attended the meeting, and proceeded to the quarters of Captain Wal pole, of the Rifle Brigade, at the Fort, where a detachment of that regiment is stationed. Dr. O'Connell, surgeon of the 88th, was sent for, and he accompanied Lieutenant Adams, Captain Jeffries, and Mr. Crosse, who embarked, about two or three hours after the duel, in a boat, which landed them at the Calcars, whence they proceeded to their quarters at Floriana. It is a singular circumstance that during the whole of this time the deceased was perfectly ignorant that the ball had lodged in his body, thinking the only wound was that in the arm. He suffered no pain, and, contrary to the expectation of some of his medical attend ants, expired suddenly on the following evening. Captain Levick was arrested the same evening, The law of Malta is excessively severe against duelling, the penalty attached to it being death, both to principals and all engaged in it. The deceased was a most amiable, kind-hearted, and gentle crea ture, and much esteemed by his brother officers. &I)ipping intelltyart. TVESDAY, MARCEL I.—Wind,N,W.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 1. We have this week an import of several thousand quarters of Wheat, with continued good arrivals of Oatmeal, from Ireland ; but of other artic les thence, or of anything coast wise, the receipts are still moderate.

Our market to-day being tolerably well attended by town and country millers, the demand for Wheat was somewha to t improved, and holders, generally shewing a disposition sell, submitted to an abatement from the rates of this day week of ld. for the best qualities of English, Irish, and fo reign, and 2d. per 701bs. for other descriptions, at which a moderately fair extent of business was transacted. Home-made and Irish Flour was held at late prices, but moved off slowly, States brands merely sustaining the de cline of Friday. Bonded Wheat and Flour continue to re main unnoticed. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, upon a very dull sale, still exhibited a tendency to recede in value, the terms pre viously noted being scarcely attainable. Oats, attended by a very limited sale, were hi per 451bs cheaper than on this day se'nnight ; and Oatmeal being offered freely at 24s to 255, reduces our quptations 2s per 2401bs below those of that date. 1 Mrn.

We have had a better show of Beef and Mutton to-day than last week. Beef fetched hardly as much as last week, and Mutton a little better to buy. Best Beef from did to Rd, middling lid to 64d, and Mutton 7d to 8d per lb. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, MARCH 2.

Tallow is per stone of 141bs. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MARCH 2. During the present week the Corn trade has presented no new feature. English Wheat, thringh dull, cannot be quoted lower. Malting Barley very flat, and to effect sales Is per quarter reduction must be submitted to. No quarterdeco r ne. In Beans a:teration. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Mancti 3. The increased demand for Cotton in our market last week has again subsided, and consumers merely purchase to supply their immediate wants, averaging about 3000 bales each day. In prices we make no change, except that in au uneven market, occasionally cheap purchases are made. Exporters are very active in their enquiries, but cannot meet with suitable qualities. The good is daily becoming scarce, and even if high prices could he given, the better descriptions are not in the stock, which is far from a small one. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 28. There was a great improvement in the trade generally to-day; the butchers at market were more numerous, and purchased freely, more so than for some time past. The supply of Beasts was moderate, but very short of Sheep. Of Calves and Pigs the supply was about an average one. Beef recovered the decline of 4d per stone noticed on last market day, and Mutton of every quality was fully ad per stone higher, prime old South Downs fetching as ad, and coarse sorts is led. Veal commanded a fair steady trade at former prices. The inquiry for Pork was better, and prime choice young meat realized 5s ad. being an advance of 4d. In nearly all uses clearance were made. (Per stone of 81b, sinking the offal.) LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FED. 28. The supplies fresh up to this morning's market are moderate of all kinds of English grain. The arrival of Foreign Wheat is up wards of 25,000 quarters. The finest samples of Wheat realize is advance on the prices of this day week, but other sorts are without any variation. Barley is a slow sale unless for fine descriptions. The total supply of English, Scotch, and Foreign Oats consists of 31,0'10 quartets. Oats are 6d to is cheaper. Beans or Peas no alteration. Flour is a very dull sale. Seeds of all kinds continue in moderate demand, and late quotations. W • • E DNESDAY, Mardi 2. The business this morning has been on the most limited scale, and the attendance confined to a few retail dealers, whose pur chases have been nominally at the rates of Monday last. The stock of Irish Oats is large, and this article is not firm at former prices. The samples of English Wheat are inferior, and the free bonded being almost all consumed, the small quantity in the market is held at excessive rates. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET, March 3.
