YESTERDAY'S MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL CORN.—We had but few buyers in at-
tendance to-day ; wheat was held with tolerable firmness
for the rates of Tuesday last, and, upon a moderate
amount of business with consumers, we repeat previous
quotations. Flour is at the same time much neglected,
and the value nominally unaltered. Barley and beans
move off with much difficulty, the value of the latter
article ruling in favour of buyers. Oats and oatmeal
barely support our last currencies, with a very sluggish
demand in the absence of country buyers. Indian corn
was again is per qr lower than on Tuesday, the Irish de-
mand is very trifling at present, and to make any progress
in sales not more than 38s 6d per 480 lbs can be quoted for
mixed American, though 395 has been paid for small par-
cels. Arrivals from the 22nd to the 24th Jan., 1856, in-
clusive.—lnto Liverpool, from Ireland—Malt, 52 qrs;

LIVERPOOL PRO VI SIO IsT.—The transactions in beef
this week have been confined to afew retail sales, at for-
mer rates. A better feeling towards the article, however,
seems to be springing up.—ln pork we have nothing to
report. Some parcels of new have arrived, but are not
yet:landed. Bacon is in fair request at the quotations.
For forward delivery it is offered on very much lower
terms. Lard is dull, and tends downwards. 7-, The demand
for fine cheese is moderately active, but middling and
inferior sorts are neglected. Tallow has fluctuated daily,
the market closes at a decline of about 2s per cwt. on the
and week. Linseed cake continues neglected. The business
passing in the corn market during the week has been very
limited, although, on Tuesday, there was a slight
improvement, especially in Indian corn. To-day's market
was dull for all articles, at Tuesday's prices.
LONDON CORN.—Wheat: Arrivals very short, and
needy buyers have to give full prices, but the transactions
are few. Barley : Short supplies and firmer feeling.
Oats : Good supply of Irish but very dull, and is cheaper
than Monday. Flour : Supply short, and for Norfolks
Ms asked, for which on Wednesday 52s and 52s
.6d were
taken.

LONDON PRODUCE.—Sugar not so brisk, and the
finer descriptions have gone rather cheaper. Coffee market
is steady. Tea quiet, common congou 9d, nominal. Rice :
700 bags Beneal sold at 13s per broker, lls to lls 6d for
cargo ; 200 bags Madras bought in at 13s—only 12s 6d
bid. Rum flat, East India, 2s 4d ; Leewards, 2s 6d ;
Demerara, 2s Bd. Saltpetre : 1440 bags Madras refrac-
tion 21s to 31s per cent. sold at 23s to 23s 6d. Pepper :
1400 bags Malabar sold at 5-1. to 51.
METROPOLITAN CATTLE.—The supply of beasts
in to-day's market was limited, but in fair average condi-
tion. All kinds were very dull for sale, at Monday's
currency. Although the number of sheep was small, the
mutton trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
The few calves on offer moved off briskly, at an improve-
ment in value of 6d per 8 lbs. The best veal was worth
6s per 8 lbs. Pigs very dull, and lower to purchasers.
Beef from 2s 10d 10 4s 6d ; mutton, 2s 10d to 4s 8d ; veal,
4s 8d to 6s; pork, 3s 8d to ss. Supply—beasts 884,
foreign, 110 ; cows 120 ; sheep 3100, foreign 80; calves
105, foreign 22 ; pigs 300.
WAKEFIELD CORN.—Wheat slow at is to 2s above
the lowest sales of last Friday. Barley fully Is dearer.
Other articles unchanged.
DUBLIN CORN.—A very small supply of wheat.
There were some indications of recovery from the late
depression, but this might be caused by the demand of
present wants, and the inadequate supply offered. Wheat
was a shade higher than on Tuesday. Oats and barley
support the currencies of that day. Indian corn extremely
inactive in demand, and very little done, even at a reaction
of is per qr.
BELFAST CORN.—Supply at farmers' market very
small. Wheat ls, oats 6d, and oatmeal 6d, per cwt, lower
on the week. Attendance at Corn Exchange was fair,
but not much doing, and prices remained unchanged.

The annual meeting of this institution was held on
Thursday, when the following Report was read, and
adopted.

[The pressure on our space precluded our inserting:it in
our yesterday's impression.]

During the last seven 3 ears the institution has steadily
progressed from year to year in the number of patients,
no less than 63,451 having been relieved within that
period ; and the following statement of aid given and
money expended, will afford some idea of the vigorous
economy which has been constantly exercised, viz :

Your committee having had now the experience of
three years as to the system adopted, of requiring the
Patients to contribute one penny for each supply of medi-
cine, have much pleasure in stating that it has exceeded
even their most sanguine expectations; for, while on the
one hand it has a tendency to prevent them wasting the
medicine, on the other the amount in pence money for the
year has been £95, which forms a steady and permanent
source of income to the institution. During the year 1855
the institution numbered 11,310 patients. The number of
deaths which occurred was 329, and, what is very remat ka •

for the benefit of the latter. He urged that the owners
were clearly obliged to pay that order just as they would
have been before the alteration of the law, as if it were
not so, the seaman must be defrauded of his wages.
Mr. Forshaw argued that the 215th section of the 17ta
and 18th Victoria, which enacted that if a seaman
volunteered on board one of her Majesty's vessels, his
clothes and wages should be given over to the captain.
of the ship on board which he should volunteer, pro—
vided that when the wages should have been paid bT
bill or order, then that the accountant-general, or the,
seaman, should have the same powers of recovering'
by which wages were recoverable prior to
the passing of the act. The fact was that
the government had, before the passing of the act, paid.
to a seaman volunteering all wages then due, but now,
they only undertook to pay when they bad received from.
the captain or the owners. In this case, therefore, the.
owners felt no obligation to assist them. His Honour'
said, his opinion was in favour of Mr. Parr, but he would.
have occasion to be in London, and he would then lay
the points of the case before the board of trade, and take
the opinion of the law officers on it. If that opinion
should be in favour of Mr. Forshaw's views, the defend—
ants should have the benefit of it. Here his Honour
took up the bill in question, and looked over it, observ-
ing that he had not seen it before. He called Mr.
Forshaw's attention to it, and asked if there was any
thing in the act which enabled the captain to state ma.
account between the seaman and the owners? and if so,
whether the bill was not itself evidence that the wages,
were due? If he supposed, for instance, that was an

action for the wages;ind that a letter of the captain's
stating the amount were produced, would not that be
evidence of a debt due by the owners, and would not
the captain be looked upon as their agent Mr. Far-
shaw said he had not before seen the bill, and had not
time to give it the full consideration he could desire. Ho
was afraid there was a verdict on the face of the bill.
If there was any thing which left it open, he
should feel more assured, but he feared the
case was not so. His Honour said he should give a.
verdict for Mr. Parr that day. lf, however, Mr. Forshaw
should, upon consideration, think that there was any war
of raising the real question at issue in the case, then lie
would grant a re-hearing upon affidavit. It was then
understood that if Mr. Forshaw could see any way of
opening up the question which he had raised, an appli—
cation should be made for a re-hearing on Saturday
week. The plaintiff was not present in this ease, having:
fallen from the rigging of the Phantom, and broken his
leg, and the action therefore proceeded upon the bill,
as it had been drawn by the captain. The seaman had,
it appeared, been required to go on board the Phantom
at Hobson's Bay, and Capt. Forbes at the same time was
required to give the hill.

MADDOX V. HOWARD.-This was an action brought to
recover the amount of damage done to a coach of ti:e
plaintiff, by a brewers' cart of defendant. The amount
claimed was XI 7s for repairs, and Its for loss of time.
_ _

The cause of action arose between eight and nine o'clock
on the evening of Friday, the 9th November last. It
appeared from the evidence of a policeman, and others,
that the coach was going up Scotland-road, towards
Kirkdale, and the brewers' cart was coining down. The
centre of the road was newly macadaini6ed, and the cart
turned off the macadamised part, and in doing so,
caught the hind wheel of the other vehicle, which.
appeared to have been upon its own side of the road,
and caused the damage. Several witnesses having been.
heard upon both sides, who gave very contradictory tes-.
timony, his Honour said that in his opinion the police-.
man who was walking behind was the most reliable:
witness in the case; he therefore gave a verdict for the
plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. Itoby appeared for
the defence in this case.

At Vienna it is stated that if, from the proclamation
of an armistice, peace is not concluded by the time it iS
practicable to open the campaign, the allied fleets will
enter the Baltic, but, during the negotiations, will not
pass beyond the island of Gothland. In the Crimea, the
Tchernaya and the defiles which lead to the Valley 01
Baidar, will form the line of demarkation. The line of
limitation at Kinburn, Kertch, and Eupatoria, will be
fixed by mutual agreement between the allied and Misr'
Sian commanders
