COUNTRY MARKE2'B.

LIVERPOOL-APRIL 8.

The reduction in the price of wheat and flour submitted
to on Tuesday last has induced several country millers and
dealers to visit this market, and this morning rather a large
business was transacted in both articles at fully Tuesday's
prices, and several parcels of American barrel flour were
taken for investment. There was a moderate sale for the
other articles of the trade, without change of quotations.

LIVERPOOL PRODUCE 014RKETS.-April 7.

There has been rather a want of animation in our pro-
duce markets during the past month ; still we have expe-
rienced a steady demand for most articles, and prices
generally are without material change. ln the early pai t
of the month an active de:nand prevailed for sugar, and
an advance of 6d to is per cwt. was established ; this,
however, has not been maintained, chiefly owing to the
large quantities of Mauritius and Madras being brought
forwarded in the London market, which have had the effect
of influencing prices here. The stocks in the .kingdom
have increased, importg having been considerable; still the
total deficiency reaches 20,000 tons, against the same
period last year.
Tea.—Medium to fine Congous have been in good de-
mand, but in consequence of the unwillingness of holders
to sell except at an advance on previous rates, business has
been prevented. Common congous have advanced fully 4d.
per lb. on the previous month's rates.
The coffee market has been without activity, although
foreign has been taken rather freely for export.
OILS —Of palm oil 300 to 400 tons have changed hands,
on the spot and for arrival, at 331 lOs to 34l per ton, being
improved, rates. . Pale seal may be quoted at 361 to 361165,
and cod at 331 to 341 per ton.
Tallow' is rather firmer, with yellow candle at 46s Gd.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—APRIL 7.
The sales since March 31 have been 45,000 bags, of which
15,000 hive been taken for export and on speculation. In
prices thcre is no alteration. The arrivals since March 31
have 36 lassels from the -United States, 4 from Brazil, 1
from Egypt, and 8 from Bombay.

TURKEY.

The dispute between Russia and Turkey is again the
chief topic in the original columns of the Paris journals,
but generally speaking the articles do not ,possess much
interest. The Debats shows some soreness at having
been described by the Constitutionnel as a Russian organ.
The Assonblee Nationale also appears to be annoyed at
the remarks of the Constitutionnel and the other minis-
terial journals, and attempts to inspire a conviction, as
the Debats had done, that if Russia should declare war
against Turkey, the French could not rely on the co-
operation of England.

The Pattie Baia :—" Our letters from Constantinople
of the 20th state that the attitude assumed by the Go-
vernment had produced an excellent effect both in the
capital and in the provinces, and deputations were every
moment arriving, bearing to the Sultan the homage of
the respect and devotedness of his subjects. Among
these deputations were more particularly those from the
Greek population, who, under the difficult circumstances
in which Turkey is at present placed, evince a praisewor-
thy attachment for its Government, the spirit of justice
and good faith of which they duly appreciate."
A German journal gives the following as the sub-
stance of the last note transmitted to Constantinople by
the Russian Government. The imperial agents are to
have the right of preventing Greek subjects from being
oppressed ; the Patriarchs and Bishops are not to be re-
moved without substantial reasons ; all desire of inter-
fering in the internal arrangement of Turkey is dis-
claimed ; and a refusal to accede to these demands will
be looked upon as a want of respect to the person of
the Emperor.
Accounts from Malta, of the 27th ult., state that the
English squadron has been reinforced by two more sail
of the line.

SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, MAY 31.
M. de Buol has notified to the Swiss Chargé d'Affaires
at Vienna, that the recal of M. de Karnicki has not the
signification of an international rupture, and that if
Switzerland desires such a rupture, she must bear its
consequences. In consequence of this information the
Swiss Envoy, who had been recalled by his Govern-
ment, has applied for fresh instructions, and the Federal
Council, in reply to this application, has instructed him
to remain at his post, and to continue his diplomatic re-
lations.

CONDUCT OF A SENTRY.

Col. DUNNE called the attention of the Secretary at
War to the case of a sentry who had been stationed on
a road at Portsmouth to prevent anything passing, and
who had been fined 40s. by the magistrates for striking
a carter who had insisted on passing, and who had
given the first provocation by aiming a blow at the
soldier. He wished to know whether the authorities
at the 'War-office were prepared to defend the order of
the magistrates, as it appeared that the soldier had only
acted in accordance with his instructions
Mr. S. HERBERT said the case had come to his
knowledge. The testimony was very conflicting
as to whether the carter struck the soldier before
or after he gave him a blow on the head. Up to
that point, however, the sentry bad acted in strict per-
formance of his duty. Though he was very unwilling to
interfere with the decisions of a competent tribunal, he
was satisfied that the man was not to blame, and that
the magistrates had acted erroneously. Under those
circumstances the fine would be paid for the sentry.
IRISH POOR-LAW.
Sir J. FITZGERALD wished-to ask the Secretary to
the Treasury, whether her Majesty's Government have
taken into consideration the matter of certain petitions
from Poor-law Unions in Ireland recently presented to
the house, and seeking to have the medical officers for
poor relief in Ireland placed on the same footing as in
England, as to the provision made for payment of part
of their salaries out of the public revenue ; and also,'
whether it is the intention of Government to comply
with the prayer of such petitions, and to make any fur-
ther provision for the relief of Poor-law Unions in
Ireland from the payment of any portion of the educa-
tional or other establishment expenses with which they
are at present charged.
Mr. WILSON said the memorials in question had not
been presented to the Treasury, and therefore they had
not been considered.
SUCCESSIONS BILL.

In reply to Mr. DISRAELI,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he would fa the second
reading of tho Successions Bill for Monday.

In repiy to Lord J. MANNERS,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he could appoint no day for
the second reading of this bill, but he hoped to be able
to move the second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill
first.

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " SAM SLICK."
Now Ready, at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., 215.,
SAM SLICK'S WISE SAWS
AND MODERN INSTANCES;
Or, WHAT HE SAID, DID, Of INVENTED.
" These delighf al volumes will be the most popular, as beyond
doubt they are the best of all the author's admirable works."—
Standard.
" The book before us will be read and laughed over. Its quaint
and racy dialect will please some readers —its abundance of yarns
will amuse others. There is something in the two volumes to suit
readers of every humour."—Atheneum.
" As a work embodying the criticism of Rochefoucault, with the
acuteness of Pascal, and the experience of Theophiastus or La
Bruvere, it may be safely said that, except Don Quixote, the present
work has no rival.t'—Observer.

CRYSTAL PALACE AND WEST LONDON RAILWAY.—
The select committee yesterday morning declared the pre-
amble of this bill proved.
THE AUSTRALIAN MAlLS.—Notice was issued yester-
day at the General Post-Office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, that
the mails for South Australia (Geelong, Melbourne, Port
Philip, Adelaide, and Victoria), New South Wales, and
Vail Diemen's Land, will be made up this morning, the
4th inst., to be forwarded by the new postal contract
ciii_sper bark Stratford. The packet rate will be charge.
able upon all letters transmitted by the Stratford, which
must be prepaid; newspapers free. So great has been the
accumulation of letters and newspapers at the General
Post-office during the last few days to be dispatched by
this new mail packet to the above colonies that no less
than 141 bags (letters and newspapers) were sent on board
the Stratford yesterday, lying in the West India Docks,
ready assorteil, and many more are expected this morning,
as there will be no other mail until the 4th of July, via
Southampton and Singapore, unless by ship letter bags, as
vessels may sail from London, Plymouth, Liverpool, &c.
MURDER OF A CONSTABLE NEAR ROSS.—Con-
siderable excitement has been created here by the murder
of a constable, while in the execution of his duty. It ap-
pears that, being in attendance at a club feast which took
place in the neighbourhood, and the revellers getting rather
noisy and quarrelsome amonc, themselves, he interfered to
keep order, and a riot ensued, in the course of which the
unfortunate man received injuries so severe as to cause his
death. The coroner's inquest, which was held yesterday,
returned a verdict of " wilful murder." Six men are in
custody on the charge of being concerned in his death,
and, having already undergone one examination, stand re-
manded until 519nday next.
