To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR , _~r illyou kindly inform me how it is that the Com mittees of the Royal Infirmary and the Hospitals have given the Clergy who preach for " the Town Charities" votes at their elections, and that, up to this time, no intimation has been rec eived from the Com m ittees of the Dispensaries of a similar _favour being granted, although the Dispensaries have had, I believe, a share of the collections ?—Yours, respectfully, CLERICUS.

SIR,--i read in your paper of the 10th instant an article en titled <, Charges against the Head-Constable," in which you endeavour to weaken Counsellor Bigham's statements respect :l'g Ca ptain Greig's un j us t treatment of a police-officer. As I -In t he Persecuted party, and your remarks are calculated to /indi cate the H ea d-C onsta bl e ' s con d uc t an d con d e m n mine, I f ac t s. Yft ' as a m a tt er of j ust i ce, to g i ve pu b l i c i ty to t h e f o ll ow i ng 0 n the llth February, I found an inspector intoxicated. Su- Derintendent Ride, having just passed, met this inspector and 8 ,,! °1( e With hi m, after which the inspector came to me and told t hat he h a d seen Superintendent Ride, and it would be all right Un derstanding from this that Superintendent Ride did not intend to report him, but that he would use that partiality to n ,, him bY Which myself and other officers had frequently been a -oyed, I determined to report Superintendent Ride for • rss neglect of duty and partiality, and Inspector White for ... e . in g drunk on duty. Under the impression that Councillor tisigharri o „ was one of the Watch Committee, I reported the case tw_o...dma.ysanild, examining g ntly the . Watch Committee met and spent the evidence brought forward to sustain On tchhiasrges, which resulted in the dismissal of the inspector. through t °Ceaaloll I was censured for not bringing these charge . s Gre•he H ead -Constable. My answer was, that Captain ig harin l; told us in the station-house that all charges and dg'rii e.vances were to be brought by police-officers through their wills,i°nal su perintendents, and my complaint being one in i t u ``' n ° my divisional superintendent was involved, I considered ferreAreaso.nable and useless to put into his hand a charge pre y. 'i against himself, knowing well what the result would be. ther e ch arPPosing that I am blameable for not bringing ben .es through a certa i n channe l , nevert h e l ess I did no t . " fal se witness aga i nst my neighbour, but produced evi nence sufficient to condemn both the superindent and the in epeet°r ; and I wish to ask, why Superintendent Ride endea "enred to screen this man? Kindness and indulgence is not Ishown by 11Ir. Ride to the officers generally ; for instance, on T h 1 : .. 1 . 2 th of Au gust, when the Orangemen were prevented walk toei:n Pro cession, four officers and myself were sent on duty Ycroft's Wheat Sheaf, S co tl an d R oad. O ne o f t h ese f our , itobertho Car:on, No. 32, h av i ng been on duty for seven hours t°ut food, b ecame quite exhausted, and said, " I'll venture _ get a gla ss of ale: " he went into the Wheat Sheaf, and was getting the ale when Superintendent Ride came up ; and seeing b ini, took hi m b y the collar and pulled him into the street, tel ling him, in a violent passion, that he would have him dis- Missed the force on th ein.; following day, which was d one accord ,, y. Whereas, at this very time, an inspector named Hayden stood before Mr. Ritie giving unquestionable evidence that he was drunk and unfit to discharge his dut • but Mr. Ride did not report Ins conduct, though he did y not spare Robert Carson, a sober and worthy man, who had served for thirteen years and sustained a good character. I called the attention of the Watch Committee to this fact, accusing Super intendent Ride of partiality an d unjust treatment; inflicted though t hese ur. h esefacts are undeniable, . yet nopunishmentaccused w me of great Ride; but Mr. Tobin, "while exa ggeration, asserted that no blame whatever attached to the %11Per intendent. I appeal to the public whether this superin tendent is justified in accusing one man for taking a glass f al e' and excusing "us another for being intoxicated? Inspectors w " hi te and Hay den might pet drunk, and Superintendent Ride ..°l tld not report them. Certain officers may run riot, and lie 'Will c onnive at their faults ; but upon others he will fall furi °llBlY, like a bird of prey, seeking their destruction. __ I t' 8 for exposing such conduct that I am persecuted ; and such n ' r aa the storm that gathered around, that I could not remain °II tith e ; but for the last week of my month's notice of resig niilti°ll I was ill, having been hunted by my superior officers a Partridge on the mountains. Having left the force, I apPlied 0 Captain Greig for a character, who replied—" I will ! t ive You one from the conduct-book ;" that is, he would give th all i a matter of fact, and not as a matter of opinion. With co n s t r , e P T Y I Was satisfied; but when I received the character it tott amed a n taar7,.ex.pres.se e d ntry of all the book contains against me, but tli e ,„ ‘ n g in my favour. I shewed it to my friends, and all of e called 'surprise and dissatisfaction, and one gentle ;,. T u i etermined to remonstrate with Captain Greig concerning Captain Greig's attention to his statement, whit the eih asserts that the following are the onlyentries concerning imi n n the conduct -book : namely—Jan. 15, 1849 cautioned for a. and PasiPing. Dec. 18, 1851 : not laying an information. rilat,Prtain Greig refused to answer any questions, and informed remark le nd that his conduct was before the public. Now this is 4 , , written by the head constable on my first character, th e 'together untrue ; for instead of the above entries being Lav'eplY ones contained in the conduct book concerning me, I Gr ei : l My possession another character, endorsed by Captain lA A ° last Thursday, no doubt in consequence of Councillor entities inquiries. In this character there are above twelve t hii 'L t s in „., 11, Y favour. Well might Councillor Picton observe, er n b' k-alatain Greig was allowed to give me a character, which I lly f'aave_ed everything in the books against me, but nothing in general",r, that if the rewards given to me over and above my tk lark conduct as an officer were kept back, while the slightest nl y ~,s of disapproval of my conduct are given against me,. havi!dateroteitnar would entirely fail. This is just what Captain ; he suppressed all the entries in my favour, and 0 ,,, "g entered the two against me, he wrote that these were the ;4 elltr ,ies l Now, Mr. Editor, looking at these facts, can trity N n lnili cate the conduct of Captain Greig? It is no light or 1; -. ,, g th ing to give a false character to a deserving officer. Mir -aPtain Greig made a mistake, and did not do this ..tha,rnaaleti3tra a ti n t d ne inaliciously, why did he refuse to alter the first that character Wh en requested in a respectful manner to do so, and when such a character as I deserve might have vreacrured for me an excellent situation? Again, if the first endorsereacte was a just one, how could Captain Greig so readily v 0..., a second differing so materially from the first, and tti‘Ltraatoclicting his own statement ? It is evident that Councillors th. ,..i: and Piston were the cause of this strange conduct, and only„,..4l:4_(:e.pulteaftoritthi.eizilsionterfernce, I might have been ruined in , , t b on by the prejudice and obstinacy of the Head cable hostility worthy of notice, as proving the impla tain Greig against me, that even the last character, thoi ° igh 7 no means a just chareartetrains many entries in my favour, is by captaineoer recorded Greig having i tw o of the most important chaerxaarnination to book in my favour.

INDlA.—lntelligence has been received by overland mail from Bombay to the 14th ultimo. The latest news from Burmah extends to the 23rd March. A combined attack was made for the third time on the stronghold of the robber chief Myah Thoon, by 1500 troops under Sir J. Cheape—the boats of the Queen's and Company's men-of-war, under Captain Tarlton, and a body of Ka rians under Captain Fytche. The attack was made on the 19th of March by Sir John Cheape's force, which had to cut a road through a dense jungle in order to approach the Burmese position, the outlets of which were guarded by Captain Tarlton and Captain Fytche, to prevent the enemy's escape. After four hours' hard fighting, and after sustaining a loss of 102 rank and file killed and wounded, (including 13 officers,) Sir J. Cheape succeeded in carrying the enemy's position, and bayoneting its de fenders. Myah Thoon escaped for the time with 100 or 200 followers, but Captain Fytche and his Karians went off immediately in pursuit, and were thought certain of catching him. Great mortality, from cholera and dysen tery, had prevailed among both troops and camp followers during the expedition. The camp followers had also suffered much from smallpox. Much uncertainty prevails regarding the actual state of affairs at Ava. The late king's brother-in-law is now believed to be fully established in power, but it is said that he will not hear of any cession of territory ; that, true to the traditional policy of the Burmese, he is endeavouring to gain time ' at any expense of truth and promises ;' and that, flushed with his recent success over his own sove reign, be manifests no anxiety regarding our threatened advance on his capital. Mr. Luard, of the civil service, had been suspended for having offered, if a public inquiry were allowed him, to prove certain judges guilty of infa mous conduct in the discharge of their judicial functions. A public investigation as to the truth of Mr. Luard's chal lenge was unanimously desired by the Indian press. Great indignation prevailed throughout India in conse quence of the report that the Home Government intended to renew the Indian charter for ten years, without waiting for an inquiry. The Madras shores have been visited by a storm, un usual in the time of its appearance, and terribly destruc tive in the nature of its ravages. The British ship Devonshire succeeded in getting away, but shortly after wards ran ashore to the northward of the fort, and soon after found fifteen inches in the well, and continued making about one foot of water an hour ever since. The sloop Muddut Mowlah, Bazerdeen Nacoda, had made sail, and was trying to get out to sea. All that seamanship could do was, however, tried in vain. The current drove her towards the shore with resistless force, and the crew, finding that there was no help for it, turned the head of the vessel to the sands, and let her drive bodily on to the beach. She came onwards with incredible swiftness, but had no sooner got within the line of surf, which extended far out to sea, than she capsised on her beam-ends. Ano ther moment and she rose from the trough of waters, as if trying to regain her natural position, when a sea struck her amidships, and cut her completely in two, one half drifting down towards the fort, and the other being as in stantly swallowed up on the spot. A few of the crew got on shore, but the far greater number met a fate as in stantaneous as that of the vessel, which a few short minutes had sufficed to destroy. The Aboukir, a barque of 800 tons, Captain Carvell, parted her cable, and was seen drifting towards the North Beach. She came foul of the Serampore, Captain Hope Smith, a fine ship of 1000 tons, on her voyage out. The Serampore had up to this moment rode in safety, but the shock of the collision was so great, that she too dragged her anchors and came in, but she bad hardly got within the surf when she filled and went down in a moment. The catastrophe was so sudden that the people on board had no opportu nity to provide for their safety, and eighteen of the Euro pean crew went down with the vessel. After getting clear of the Serampore the Aboukir continued her headlong course, and was soon in the midst of the roaring whirl pool. The moment she touched the ground her decks parted, and a couple of the crew fell into the gulf, when the two parts of the ship came as instantaneously together, and crushed the poor fellows completely flat. The crew were paralysed with terror, and made but little effort to save themselves ; but three reached the shore in safety. The Lutchmi, a barque of 700 tons, Captain Le Bceuf, was wrecked between six and seven o'clock, but her masts remained standing, and the crew took refuge in the mizen rigging. A hawser was conveyed to the vessel, and soon after midnight one of the poor wretches, more venture some than the rest, crept along it and got safe to land. He was directed to shout, that his voice might reassure his shipmates, and a second essaying the same feat with like results, blue lights were burned to show their figures to the crew, who thereupon took heart of grace, and were successively transferred from the ship to the beach without loss. A Portuguese brig, the Senhora de Monte, Capt. J. N. Fernandes, capsised while endeavour ing to get an offing, but 17 of the crew were saved. Nothing could be more complete than the destruction of the various wrecks, whi 71 were literally broken into splinters. The shore was covered with fragments of spars, beams, naval chests, drowned seamen, and the miscel laneous cargoes of the var i o us ship s , all of which were nearly, if not quite full. Information has been received from Cuddalore of the gale that occurred along that part of the coast on the 27th and 28th of March. As far as they are yet known, the following are the details of the wrecks : French ship Rama, of Nantes, about 500 tons burden, unladen ; dismasted and cast on the beach about ten miles south of Cuddalore—eight lives lost. French ship La Semillante, of Nantes, laden with rice ; cast on shore near the Rama, and broke up—two lives lost. British brig Buccaneer—native commander and crew —cast high and dry near the above two ships ; no lives lost. Ship Marius, of Pondicherry ; ship La Hercule, of Mar seilles ; brig La Hortense, of Bordeaux ; ship Florine, in ballast ; and La Cleanthe—the whole of these vessels are wrecked near Porto Novo, but particulars have not yet been received. Two other English brigs also appear to have been cast on shore. CHINA.—Our accounts from China extend to the 11th of March. The insurgents were steadily advancing towards Peking, and the Emperor has apparently no troops capable of arresting their progress. Private letters state that at Canton it was generally believed that Nanking had fallen. The rumour was possibly premature, but the place was known to be besieged, and there seems little chance of even an effort being made to relieve it. Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, Sir George Bonham, left Hong Kong for Shanghai, on the 13th of March, in her Majesty's steamer Hermes, then under orders to proceed to the Straits, but detained for this special service. It appears that application had been made by the Viceroy of Soochau to the English Consul at Shanghai to co-operate against the rebel force for the protection of Nanking. The rapid advance of the .rebels had spread consternation and alarm through that capital and other wealthy cities, and the Imperial officials seemed entirely paralysed and powerless. Our latest aevices, of the 20th, .r9pi Shanghai, report the rebel force investing Nanking, merchanat: which it was expected would fall, and it is further stated to trade. that delegates had been sent from Soochau to the rebel leaders, offering a large sum to secure that wealthy city had to b e molestation Mone y and plunder. from At sh property t 0 arranged e consul. pal there was a general panic ; bankers and houses were shut up, and an entire stoppage the frontier br 9 ney was so scarce that the duties of exports atFranged by giving security in bills and other lities with the lll ru g f CAPE the course of the OOD HOPE.—The latest accounts from all details of the termination of hosti nications with that °re Powerful Gaika chief, Sandilli.

ST. JOHN'S SCHOOLS, BIRKENHRAD.—Two sermons were preached in St. John's Church, Grange-lane, on Sunday, last week, in behalf of the schools connected with the church ; that in the morning by the Rev. C. J. Hamilton, the incumbent, and that in the evening by the Rev. Dr. Baylee, Principal of St. Aidan's College. The collection on the formeroccasion amounted to XI 7 Ils. 9%d., and on the latter to £6 4s. 4d., being a total of £23 163. lid. An earnest appeal was made on behalf of the schools, which have no other means of support than voluntary contributions, in addition to the pence of the children, which amounted last year to £63 2s. 41d. The schools for boys, girls, and infants, are maintained at a cost for teachers alone of more than £l4O per annum, and yet the subscriptions last year only reached £32 17s. 6d. from 40 individuals. There is a debt of £45 due to the trea surer, and increased exertions are needed to keep the schools in their present state of efficiency. BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS.—The annual election for members of this body will take place on the first Tuesday in June. The whole number is twenty-one, of whom seven are chosen annually ; but this year there are eight to be elected, viz., the seven who go out by rotation, and one in the room of John Ravenscroft, Esq., who has gone abroad. Out of this body four of the Dock Trustees are elected annually in August. Mr. J. H. Greene, the present chairman of the board, has issued a circular to the ratepayers of Birkenhead, of which we subjoin an extract, and we entertain no doubt but that the good sense of the electors will respond to the appeal in favour of what is known as the Blue List, Mr. Greene, after re ferring to his last year's appeal, and the consequent change in the Dock Trust, says :—" That I had not deceived my self in the expectations I held out to you of the advantages of that change, will be manifest from the fact that a contract has been entered into with Messrs. Brassey and M'Cor mick, to the extent of £250,000, for the immediate prose cution of the works, which had been suspended for so many years, comprising the great low water basin and the reclamation of the north and south reserves ; that there are now upwards of 500 men at work, being the greatest number which can be employed until the exclusion of the water—and Mr. Brassey, a few days since, assured the trustees that he expected very shortly to accomplish that object, and would then double the number. It is equally gratifying to me to be able to state that a negotiation is in progress with the same contractors for the entire comple tion of the outer works on a plan which will admit the largest class of sea-going steamers. In June, 1852, public confidence in these works was at the lowest ebb, but such has been the change since that we apprehend no difficulty in obtaining adequate funds for all the purposes I have mentioned."

MANCHESTER. — There has been a steady demand throughout the week, at fun prices, an upward tendency continuing for most descriptions of both Goods and Yarn. The approach of the Whitsuntide holidays induced buyers to give out such orders as would not allow of delay beyond the ensuing week ; whilst the position assumed by many of the operatives leads to so much uncertainty, as to whether an immediate turn-out is not impending, that buyers find, in the present position of matters, a still farther argument against unnecessary procras tination in their purchases. From the same apprehension of turn-outs, producers are disinclined to accept any but extreme prices, and not even these, unless on the understanding that they are to be set free from the contracts they enter into, should a strike take place. The demand for India Yarns con tinues steady—more extensive than for other descriptions for export purposes, and at very full and rather higher rates. The spinners of coarse Yarns stand at present under somewhat of a disadvantage; Cotton fully Id per lb. higher, and labour and all materials dearer than last year, whilst the market value of their Yarn is very little advanced. Cloth is in moderate but not active inquiry, with prices at extreme limits. Spinners are at present very cautious in their operations in the Liver pool cotton market, and consequently prices remain without violent fluctuations. ROCHDALE.—The Piece market has been rather quieter, and the attendance of buyers has not been so good as it generally is. The manufacturers have not been very desirous to pur chase Wool at its present price; the new clip is near at hand, and there is a prevailing opinion that prices have reached their highest point. LEEDS.—There is no change in the Woollen Cloth trade since last week. The markets may fitly be described as being steady, and the trade as being quietly active. BRADFORD.—WOOI: Slackness in the demand for Wool con tinues, the prices being too high to induce buyers to purchase; but the holders are equally firm in the prices at which they hold. Noils and Brokea are firm, with only a small supply in the market. Yarns : There is a steady demand, and firmness in price. Pieces: We have nothing to add more encouraging. All complain of want of profit. HALIFAX.—Tbe merchants purchase sparingly, now that prices are not so high. Yarns do not sell freely from the same cause; but where sales are effected, the quotations are steadily maintained. The Wool market is quiet. The spinners buy only from hand to mouth, and look forward to the new clip with some anxiety as to its probable influence on prices. HUDOERSFIELD.—We have no improvement to report. Manufacturers are principally engaged in working up their orders, which they deliver direct to the merchants. Middle blacks and union Cloths are mostly in request, and find pur chasers at firm prices. New patterns in Fancy Woollens for the fall trade are being inquired for. LEICESTER.—AII useful goods continue in good demand, and every confidence is exhibited in prices of Wools and Yarn. All the operatives are in full employment at advanced wages. NOTTINGHAM, May 12.—The Lace and Hosiery trades for the week are neither of them in the fl uttering condition we hoped to have seen at this period, much of which is doubtless owing to the long continuance of ungenial weather. The first men tioned business is perhaps the one suffering under the most languid symptom ; while the latter is also beginning to show signs either of over production or want of demand. The high price of Yarn is a difficulty that hampers each of our trades, and yet there is no appearance of any concession being made in the price. Silk is still scarce and dear. THE OAKS, 9to 2 asst Mr. Waucbope's Catherine Heyes—taken. 6to 1 Baron Rothschild's Mentmore Lass—taken. Sto 1 Mr. Wilkins's Peggy. 10 to 1 Mr. Wofienden's The Queen—taken.

The Spring Meeting of the Liverpool Hunt Club was held, on their private ground, at Hoy lake, on Wednesday and Thurs day last. The weather was favourable, and there was a fair attendance of the members of the club and the general sport ing public, on both days. The various races were contested with great spirit, and speculation was particularly brisk. WEDNESDAY, MAY 11.—The SHORTS HANDICAP SWEEP STAKES, of 5 soys, each, with 25 sous. added. Half a mile.

Agis made play at a great pace, Titter stone lying off for the first mile, when he drew upon Agis, and after a long and close struggle. Agis won by half a head, Titter stone never having quite got up. The OPEN HANDICAP, of 10 sovs. each, with 50 sovs. added.

Mr. Saxon has sold Caurire to go abroad. Newminster was struck out of the Northumberland Plate on Tuesday last. _ Ada, 3 yrs, and Polly, 3 yrs, have arrived at French's stables, Newmarket. Mr. J. M. Stanley has not accepted the vacant stewardship for Chester races. It is stated that Mr. White, for many years judge of the Chester races, is about to retire from that office. A bet of .e 20,000 to .E 2,000 was taken about Honeywood, for the Derby, at Shrewsbury, on Friday last. Mr. Knowles's brood mare lo broke her leg on the Bth inst., at the Hampton Court Paddocks, and was destroyed. The Marquis of Exeter claimed Sir R. Pigot's ch f Koh-i, noor, for 200 soya, after winning at Newmarket last week. It is proposed to add 100 sovs. to the forfeit class of the Chester Cup nominations, but the final arrangements are not yet completed. The Hon. Stanhope Hawkehas sold his Oaks mare Mistletoe, to Mr. Padwick, for 1,500 sovs. She remains in training at Charles Peck's, Malton. Lord Londesborough has purchased Broughton, by Ingo, from Mr. Wise, for 800 sous., and he has joined John Scott's string, at Whitewall. The Royal Caledonian Hunt and Kelso races are fixed for the 18th, 19th, and 20th of October. There will be eighteen races, to which the sum of 1,200 soya. will be added. Lord Orford's Incubus, 2 yrs, by Slane, out of Exotic, was sold at Newmarket, on Wednesday last, by Messrs. Tattersall, for 170 guineas ; and Firebrand, 2 yrs, by Slane, out of Firefly, for 165 guineas. The whole of the racing stud of Mr. Wauchope, who is de clining the turf, is announced for sale. It comprises Catherine Hayes (first favourite for the Oaks), Bridget, Calliope, Bethia, and chestnut colt by John o'Gaunt, out of Valentina. At a meeting of the Doncaster Town Council, on Wednesday last, Mr. J. F. Clark was appointed judge of the Doncaster races, by the casting vote of the Mayor. Mr. G. Hatfield, the other candidate, was recommended by a committee of the town council ; and Mr. Clark by the Marquis of Exeter and R. G. Lumley, Esq., two of the stewards of Doncaster races. Our correspondent " Beeswing's" selection of Little Jack, as the probable winner of the Chester Cup, has been fully justified by the horse's running at the Edinburgh races, on Thursday last, where he won the Lothians Handicap, carrying Bst 51b, beating Testator, to whom he gave 121 b Russborough, only giving him 21b, and five others. Little Jack has seven stone to carry in the Northumberland Plate, and, should he be as fit when that race is run as he was at Chester, his competitors will have to look to their honours. The Whip, which has been in Sir R. Pigot's possession since 1851, when it was resigned to Essedarius, has been challenged for by the Marquis of Exeter's Stockwell, Mr. Stanley's Ted dington, Mr. Morris's Kingston, and Mr. Megson's Weather gage. There is every probability of an exciting contest for this honourable trophy. in the autumn, the articles stipulating that it shall be run for on the Tuesday, in the Newmarket Second October Meeting, over the Beacon Course, 10st each, and each party staking 200 sous., p.p. CRICKET.-A three days' match, between eleven of the All- England and twenty of the members of the St. Helens Club, with Buttress and Crossland given, was commenced on Tues day, on the ground of the latter club, at St. Helens. All- England went in first, and scored 83, W. Caffin obtaining 29 of that number. The St. Helens Club commenced their innings immediately after the last wicket of the All-England fell, but were not out when time was called for the first day. The game was resumed on Wednesday at noon, and about two o'clock their last wicket fell, for a score of 41 , Buttress having scored 14 in this innings. All-England then went in, and scored 71, Julius Ca sar notching 28 runs. St. Helens then resumed the hat, but only one wicket had fallen when the stumps were drawn for the day. The game was continued on Thursday, and was finished about six o'clock in the evening, St. Helens losing their last wicket for a score of 88, Crossland having added 30 to the score, All-England thus winning by 25 runs. Hillyer bowled sixteen wickets in the first innings of St. He lens. The ground was canvassed round, and was very well at tended, the amount received for admission exceeding £5O. BANKRUPTS. CORN MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAY 13.—At our Corn Exchange to-day, the extreme rates of Tuesday were paid for Wheat of all descrip tions, and though we had only a moderate attendance of buyers, a fair extent of business was effected, the trade closing firm. American Flour met an improved demand, and anything good and fresh was rather dearer, but French, being in glow request, was without amendment in value. Oats and Oatmeal were again rather higher, the latter continuing to move rather freely. Beans somewhat dearer ; the market being almost cleared of Egyptian. Indian Corn saleable in moderate quan tities, for shipment to Ireland, at full prices. BRITISH. Wheat, a 9 7016., s. d. s. d.

Fresh Flour was generally held for rather higher prices, and other kinds were steady at late rates. Oats advanced id per 45 lbs. ; Oatmeal, 6d per load; and Beans, is per quarter. PRESTON, MAY 14.—There was a better supply of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange this morning, which was all cleared at last week's rates ; Foreign nominal. Flour unal tered in value. Oats are held for fractionally hi Vier prices. A very short supply of Farmers' Oatmeal, which improved in value is to is 6d per load. Irish further advanced 3d to bd per load. We raise our quotations for English Beans 6d per windle. WAKEFIELD, MAY 13.—Arrivals of grain moderate ; show of English Wheat small, but the supply from the Baltic fair and of good quality. The weather has been extremely cold, and trade assumed a finer tone, and we quote all descriptions at full last week's rates. B arle y stead y . Oats and Shelling as before. Fine dry Beans scarce, and rather dearer. No varia tion in other articles. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAY 14. —We had a small supply of Wheat from the country this morning, which sold readily at an advance of fully Is to 2s per quarter over the prices of last week. For South Country and Foreign there was a better demand, and a fair amount of business transacted at an advance of is per quarter on the rates of this day se'nnight. Our maltsters having now mostly stopped working, the demand for Barley was limited, and but little done at last week's prices. Malt finds buyers at our quotations. Oats without alteration. Our millers having to-day raised the price of Flour 28 per sack, there was a better demand for South Country, but higher prices were not obtainable. WISBECH, MAY 14.—The quantity of Wheat offering to-day is rather less than of late ; all fresh samples make rather more money than last week. Beans is to 2s per quarter dearer. Oats steady. CORK, MAY 14.—The weather continues severe and harsh for the season. Foreign Wheat firm, and the trade indicates more health; buyers act on the reserve, and only take in retail for immediate wants. For Indian Corn a slow, dragging, con sumptive sale, at 2s 6d per ton reduction. Oats, free on board, held firmly. DUBLIN, MAY 13.—Our teneral Corn market continues dull as possible, and our quotations are again only referable to small transactions. We may, perhaps, except the best quali ties of Oats, which moved off to-day at slightly improved rates.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 13.—For Beef there is a fair retail demand, without much variation in prices. The stock is large, and holders of middling and low qualities meet buyers freely. In Pork we cannot note any alteration; there is a moderate demand from the dealers, with an occasional export order, and stock does not accumulate. Bacon continues in pretty active request, at steady prices ; and a considerable portion of the late arrivals has been already cleared off. The sales of Lard for the week reach to about 60 tons, without change in prices. There is less doing in Cheese. Several parcels have been put into bond to await the proposed reduction of duty. - - MAY I6.—The demand for Butter, of all kinds, was so general and good last week, that prices of the most esteemed brands have advanced from 2s to 4s since our last report, and the supply still being moderate, the dealers had some difficulty in securing a sufficient quantity to meet their actual wants. Waterford may be quoted at 106 s to 108 s ; Carrick and Clonaiel, 102 s to 105 s; Limerick, 94s to 98s ; Cork thirds 100 s, fourths 945, and fifths 838 per cwt., landed. The weather is now warmer, and most likely we have seen the highest point for the present. Imported from Ireland from the 9th May to the 14th May, both inclusive :-6,395 firkins, 62 kegs, 368 crocks, 35 5 boxes, 298 barrels Butter ; 79 bales Bacon ; 1 hogshead ; tierce Hams ; and 30 kegs Lard.
