LIVERPOOL, DEc. 7.—Our corn trade was again very
dull to-day. There was no apparent change in the value
of any article, excepting Indian corn, of which we had
little on sale, and it was less easy to buy than last
market day; mixed In .ian corn is worth 27s 6d to

rather large, and the condition is deteriorated by the
weather. Fine selected lots met buyers at about Is per
quarter decline, whilst other sorts were very difficult to
quit, although offering at fully 2s per quarter decline
from last week. Barley large supply; fine malting rea
lined within is per quarter of last week, whilst other
kinds were almost unsaleable at 2s to 3; per quarter
less money. Beans, oats, arid peas, moderate supply,
with but little demand, and lower rates would have
been accepted to induce sales.

103 63; oats, 4s 4d to ss; beano, 7s to 8s; peas, 7s 6d;
barley 6a to 63 6d per boll. In the cattle market to-day

tions. Beef 53 to 5,163 per stone; mutton 5d to 53d
per lie
EXETER, DEC. 7.—Cattle Market—The supply to-day

PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF MRS. MARGARET MAIT.
LAND.— rills remarkable story of Scottish life seems to
be excieng great ate' genera attention. The anony-
mous author has already had the honour of being com-
pared with most to the master minds in Scotch litera-
ture. The Atheneum, Literary Gazette, Morning Post,
and Critic, find a resemblance, as regards quaintness of
style, vein of wit, and shrewd observation of character,
to Galt, although, as the Messenger observes, " a reli-
gious spirit pervades the whole work, which renders it
superior to any of Gilt's productions." Other critics
have thought " Mrs. Margaret Maitland" worthy of a
pl ca beside " The Cottagers of Glenburnie," or the
powerful creations of Scott himself. The Scotsman, in
an delegate notice of the work, says, " The present
author might perhaps be described as a refined or femi-
nine Galt, but in the pathetic element we are reminded
of Wilson's ' Lights and Shadows.' In many respects,
too, she may be compared with the eminent Swedish
novelist Miss Bremer, for, like her, she is extremely
felicitous in sweet home scenes, in delicate sketches of
character, in which the national and individual are de-
lightfully blended, and in affecting touches of pure, and
quiet pathos." There may be still some difference of
opinion as to which writer tho author of this charming
tale is most worthy to be compared; but there can be
no doubt that, in the words of the John Bull, The
tone o' mind which pervades the work is of a high east,
and the story creates an absorbing interest by the deep
and masterly touches of nature with which it abounds."
THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—The
arrangements for the evening exhibition of cattle,
stock, implements, &c., under the auspices or the
Smithfield Cattle Ciub, and which are now nearly
completed, are upon a more extensive scale this year
than on any previous occasion, rendered necessary by
the vast increase of the Lumber of entries (st least
one•fi; ill) over those which have been made for exhibition
on any previous anniversary. In order to afford increased
accoaetnodetion, Mr. Bulnois, the proprietor, has made
a large addition to the kzear at the north western
angle sufficiently capacious to accommodate the entire
of the pig classes. Various other exceedingly . ita•
portant alterations aed improvements have been ffected
for the comfort of the animals and the accommoda-
tion of the public, amongst the most prominent of which
are a very superior method of ventilation, and the erection
of a new ntrance to the show-yard, by a hich means the
public will be entirely limier cover in passing from the
entrance in Kiee.street into the bazaar. Many reasons
have been assigned fora change in the usual days appointed
for the thew, but the bales ing are stated to be the
grounds of alteration by Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs,
the seers tary of the Smithfield Club. The usual day
of opening the exhibition to the public has hitherto been
Wednesday, but this year Tuesday has been
appointed, and Mr. Gibbs sta`es the reason, for
the chseee is, first, that the improv4l' order
of the arrangements made by the club has enabled
theta to be ready for the judges a day earlier; end
scondly, that it was found on all hands most objectionable
tOr the animals to be detained in the yard until Satur-
day night, as those parties who wished to have them
home as soon as the show was over had to drive them
after twelve o'clock at night, and thus in reality on the
Sunday. By the cow arras gement, therefore, the
judges will mak • their awards, and the private view will
tyke place, on Monday evening next. The ex-
hibitien will be open to the public on Tees-
day ther,fere, and finally close on Friday. Severs
infleentiel members of the club have already visited.
the bazar, and expressed their approbation of the im-
preyed arrangements. A -number of exceedingly fins,
epecimens of cattle had already arrived from the Northern
and Midl. nd counties, and the show altogether promisee-
to be more than an average good one.
THE GREAT CATTLE SHOW AND AGRICULTURAL
DINNER AT BIRMINGHAM.—BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.
—The arrangements for this extensive exhibition
are well nigh concluded. The whole of the stocks
Sec., of which it will be composed, will be sent to the
show yard on Saturday, and on Monday the judges
will proceed to award the prizes. On the tollote•
ing day the exhibition will be opened to the
public. A very complete and accurate catalogue bas
been drawn up from the certificates. The immense
building its which the show is to take place was under'
taken by Mr. Briggs, of Bradford-street, and does credit
both to his ability and enterprise. The arrangements
with regard to the dinner have been made. The chair
will be taken by the Right Lion. the Earl of Aylesfords
the president of the exhibition, the vice-chair by
William Lucy, Esq., the mayor.
FOREIGN Pnovlstoris.—The advent of winter and
the closing of the German waters by the frost will ur
cesserily less -n the means for the transmission of pro•
visions from the Dutch and German ports, which take
place in such large large quantities to this country. The
Dutch steam-ship Batavia is announced to make her 11?1,-
trip to Rotterdam for the season on Sunday nett, prel4:
ratory to being placed in dock for the winter. The
boisterous weather of the last few days having prevented
her from arriving from that port until considerably over
due, arrangements were made, with the-permission of the
authorities, for the immediate di-charge of her cargo on
arrival, in order that she might be enabled to take bet
departure at the appointed time.
MR COBDEN IN YORKSHIRE.—LERD3, FnIDAY
Moan:co.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the lead'
ing Liberals and free-traders of this borough, convened
by three ex-mayors, was held for the purpose of making
the prelim nary arrangements for a visit by Mr. Cobden
to his constituents. It has been determined, that as i;
..ill be convenient for Mr. Cobden to be in L eds on the
18th instant, s meeting shall take place on the evering (
that day in the Music•hall, when not only Mr. Cadent
but several o her distinguished guests will be present. 1$
is intended, we believe, that the meeting shall be the
first of a at ries for promoting the freehold land and sr
gistrstion movement in Yorkshire.
INCUMBENCY OF HEDDOM.ON-TNE-WALL, NoßTh'
UMBERLAND —This incumbency is just vacant by the
