LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MIA- lb.

The weather has been very cold and unseasonable since our last re-
port, and the wheat crops in this district have a less favourable appear-
ance. The fresh arrivals from Ireland or coastwise are light. The
wheat trade, notwithstanding a good attendance of dealers, was dull
this morning, and the small retail business effected was principally it,
red Irish, at our last quotations. There was also a want of' animation
in the demand for Oats ; still Friday's prices remain unaltered. Oat-
meal, on the contrary, was in good request, as also wero fine samples of
Flour, and both articles fully realised our last currency.

Sir Robert Peel purchased last Saturday, at th,
sale of Lord Northwick's pictures by modern artists, the portrait of the
celebrated Whig, Sir Robert Walpole, first Earl of Orford, painted 1,3
Vanderbank, for 31 guineas.
Lord and Lady Poltimore have issued cards for :

evening there will be a grand assembly of the fashionable world.
The "Animal's Friend Society" last week caused
six convictions by Messrs. Jeremy and Trail!, viz., George Dollor,
having cruelly goaded and beaten three draught bulls, which had larg
iron rings in their noses, and having been covered with wounds ;
William Richford, for having bitten a dog's foot, and carried the pore
animal about by the foot with his teeth ; Edward Nash, for cruelty to a
bullock; George Pott and John Croft, for cruelty to truck dogs; and
Mr. lienggeridge's driver, for cruelty to a horse. They none of them
paid, and were committed to prison in default.

No division has ever been so accurately calculates'
as that of Tuesday night. At most of the Club Houses, the probab4
numbers were stated at 317 Whigs and Radicals, to 299 Conservative,,
which turns out to be the exaet number on the one side, and withi
one of the other.

CONFESSION.—A Portuguese cobbler used to bee'
Lis wife most unmercifull_ a few days before his attendance on his Con
fessor. A neighbour remonstrated on his cruelty, and inquired ink
cause of it. " Why," said the cobbler, "lam a great sinner, but hay,
unfortunately a very short memory, so that I should forget many of
sins did I not beat my wife regularly before Confession, and then I al:
sure that she will put me in mind of every one of them."
The Palace in which the Stuarts reside in Row,

devil." He sometimes added, that the inside of the skull was the
devil's workshop."

Holy Thursday this year falls on the 24th of May.
the Queen's Birth day. That is the reason, we believe, why the cele.
bration doe,: not take place on that day. As this is a moveable feast.
however, and rarely happens so late, it may be many years before suet
a coincidence occurs.
We hear it repeated, from various quarters, that Sit
Robert Peel never showed less animation in his speeches than or
Tuesday night, and at the dinner given to him at Merchant Tailors
Hall. This can surprise no one. Independent of the bad cause it
which he was engaged—the disreputable trick to take advantage of Loi
John Russers confidence in the good faith of the party—he is evidentl:
moved on at present by the tail, and like all animals, and chiefly th 3
animal for which Essex is celebrated, he moves with an awkward
when the pressure from without operates upan that appendage. The
Bishop Exeter enjoys the c-edit of having put the tail in motion, aid
further, report says, that if the movement is not quickened, the mon
impatient of the party intend to take to the Derby Dilly.
How TO COMMIT MURDER QUIETLY.—Take
a young lady and tell her she has a pretty foot. She will then wee
small thin shoes, go out in the wet, catch a cold, the cold will become
fever, and she will die in a month.—American Paper. . •
