LONDON CORN MAIIKET.—(From Kingsford and Lay's Cir-
cular.)—Supply of English Wheat small, and the condition, if
possible, worse than last week, consequently it met with a
slow sale at the rates of this day week. Foreign, sales retail
at former prices. Finest parcels of Malting Barley taken off
at the extreme terms of last week, but for other sorts the de-
mand was barely as good. Beans and Hog Peas, the demand
unaltered, but quite 2s. dearer. Oats are slow of sale, at a
decline of 6d. to I.s. Flour very dull, but Country Marks are
held for an advance of I.s. to 2s. per sack.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

• Of
THE annual general meeting of the Liverpool Chamber
,
Commerce was held yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock I°l
the purpose of receiving the report from the Conweill
and also for electing new Directors in room of the following
gentlemen who retire, and are not eligible for re-election, /if'
Messrs. F. A. Clint, Edward Higgin, Joseph Hubback, Chas.
Robertson, and W. J. Tomlinson.
The meeting was presided over by Mr. Edward Heath, the
President of the Chamber, who, on taking the chair, called on
Mr. TnoNsorr, the secretary, who read the sixth awinial
REPORT.
The council have now the pleasure of laying before the
members of the Chamber of Commerce the following
mary of their proceedings, on the principal subjects Which
have occupied their attention :
ACT TO AMEND THE LAW RELATI NG TO BILLS OF TADI71;11
Your council have the pleasure of reporting that the
drawn up by the American Chamber of Commerce, after OP
ference with this Chamber, to secure this object, was intr°:,
duced into the House of Commons ; one of its provisions w 7
opposed by the Government and struck out. The great point
however, of rendering bills of landing legal instruments;
whereby not only the property, but also the contrail
becomes transferrable, has been gained ; as likewise OP
of making them conclusive evidence of the facts stated 1110

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-THIS DAY.
With the exception of a cargo of Egyptian Beans, the mo-
derate additbn to our supplies noted on Friday last consiits
exclusively of coastwise and Irish produce. Our exports of
Indian Corn for the week are to a fair extent, but limited of
all other articles. .

The trade throughout the country continues in its previous
state of inactivity, and with a progressive but somewhat irre-
gular decline, according to the greater or less dispo-
sition of holders to press the market. Business here
since our last has also been confined within au ex-
ceedingly narrow compass. Wheats have again tended Father
lower, and Flour was scarcely quotable at previous nominal
rates. A cargo of fine Saidi Egyptian Beans sold, ex ship, at
345. per 4801 b. Indian Corn held more stiffly, which has
caused a strictly retail trade-6d. per qr. advance being re-
luctantly paid for American.
The market to-day was exceedingly dull, and so little dis-
position was evinced to make purchases that it is difficult to
make quotations. Wheat is at least 3d. per 701bs. below the
prices of last Friday. Flour is quite neglected, and may be
quoted Is. per barrel lower. Oatmeal without change. In
Indian Corn little doing, and prices nominally unaltered.
Other articles without animation, at previous quotations.

The firm at whose works at Millwall the 'great ship for the
Eastern Steam Navigation Company is in course bf construc-
• tion have announced suspension of payments, and convene
their creditors for the 12th instajot. Their liabilities are
stated to amount to £lBO,OOO. Value of assets will de-
pend much upon the success of the arrangements in
progress to prevent the abandonment of some of their
principal contracts. The building of the Eastern steamship
will not be impeded, and it is said, if similar means can be
adopted for the completion of other vessels and works on
hand, a comparatively favourable result may be anticipated.

left Port Philip Heads on the 13th of November. On the 30th

schooner) lying hove-to, about five miles a-head. When
abreast of us she made sail and bore down on us, and launched
a boat. She carried an English ensign. Showed our longitude
and signals, which she did not answer but stood on after us.
