LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-JUNE 12,

We have by no means a large attendance this morning. but the
market opened and continued very strong to the close. Wheats are
in mcderately fair request, and an average improvement of 2d per
bushel is made over Tuesday's prices in the transactions entered into,
but the advance has materially curtailed business, which would other-
wise have been somewhat extensive. Flour is in better request, at
extreme prices, and we are now commanding an improved sale to the
interior districts of the country.
Barley continues a slow salt.
Pawls in fair request at steady values.
Oats and oatmeal held firmly, but the transactions are not beyond
the usual extent. .. . . .

In Indian corn we have a quiet trade, and Tuesday's rates are barely
supported, but there is no reduction sufdcient to j astify a change of
quotations.

MILITARY FUNERAL.—The be 'y of Ensign Bowles,
late of the 86th regiment, the depot of which is stationed
at Fulwood Barracks, Preston, and who was unfortunately
drowned from a boat in the river Ribble, on the 23rd ult.,
was interred on Wednesday afternoon, at the Preston
Cemetery, with military honours. The body was escorted
to the grave by the whole of the officers, and about 100
rank and file belonging to the 85th, 25th, 91st, and sth
regiments, stationed at the Fulwood Barracks, two
lieutenants of the 85th and four ensigns from the other
three regiments being *the pall bearers. The band of the
depot played at intervals along the line of March, and at
the entrance to the cemetery the "Dead March in Saul."
On the termination of the burial se tovice the firing party
(picked from the deceased's company) fired three volleys
over the grave of their late officar. The deceased officer
was only 18 years of age.
AN UNFULFILLED MORMON PROPHECY.—ParIey P.
Pratt, in 1842, in delivering a farewell address to the
Saints in Manchester, previous to his departure for Ame-
rica, stood upon the stand and delivered the following
prophecy before the assembled saints :—" I warn you, 0
ye saints of the Most High, to flee from this land of
granny, oppression, and corruption ; for the Lord God is
about to pour out his judgments upon it, so that there. shall
be no more room to contain it. And I will here prophecy
in the name of the Lord (and you who think you can save
yourselves by staying behind, will know to your heart's
content whether I am a true prophet or no, when it comes
upon you), that within three years from this time, Lanca-
shire shall be convulsed to its very foundations, by earth-
quakes, plagues, pestilence, and famine. In Manchester,
Stocksort, Blackburn, Oldham, Bolton, Ashton, and all
the' towns surrounding us, the people shall die like rotten
sheep, and there shall be none to bury them. . Their houses
shall be all 'To Let,' and you may go and lift up the
latches and sit yourselves down, and there shall be none to
say unto you ' What do ye here ?' Such shall be - the
destruction in three years to come, and I prophecy it in
the name of the Lerd."--AdOentures among Me Mormons,
by Mr. Hawthornthwaite.--:[Poor Parley Pratt has at
length met with his deserts, as noticed in our paper of
Yesterday.]
SWINDLERS.—A practice has been for some time past
resorted to by a party of swindlers resident in this city,
to insert advertisements in the Dublin Freeman's Journal,
for the purchase of butter and eggs. Our detective officers
have been able to neutralise the efforts of one of them,
by seizing the goods he had ordered, and found upon him
twenty-three letters from dealers in Ireland, who had
replied to the advertiser's address, "E. Wareing and Co.,
Red Lion-court, St. Ann's square." Amongst the letters
was an unsettled invoice from the newspaper for advertis-
ing to the amount of .£2 12s. 6d. Notice of the character
of this Manchester customer has been forwarded to a
quarter likely to put the butter dealers of Dublin upon
their guard. Another of the same class, named John
Ball, against whom there has been a warrant out for several
weeks, on account of his having purchased a steam engine,
value £5O, and then disappeared, after by some means
disposing of it, fell into the hands of the police on Wed-
nesday afternoon, in Oxford-street, in this city. He was
driving two cows, which he is suspected to have obtained
on equally easy terms at Liverpool. Ile has beep trans.
