THE CORN TRADE.--

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The duty on wheat has de-
clined to 6s. per quarter, and on flour to 3s. 7 1.3 d. per
barrel, remaining on all other articles the same as last
week. The arrivals from Ireland are very limited ; and
coastwise there is a good supply of Liglish wheat only.
From Canada there are 6,265 barrels of flour ; and from
foreign ports good supplies of most articles. The ex-
ports in the same time amount to 821 quarters of wheat;
6,021 quarters of Indian corn ; 1,042 barrels of corn
meal ; 904 sacks and 1, 586 barrels of flour. The wea-

cher since Tuesday has been cool and gloomy ; on Fri-
day we had a slight rain with indications of an unfavour-
able change approaching, and which has been followed
by heavy snaking rains on Saturday night, and nearly all
and yactArdiay. Tito reports of the corn crops
do not improve, and with regard to potatoes, they are,
within the past week, alarmingly worse from every qbar-
ter. The demand for free wheat was moderate at par-
tial improvement of ld. ; but bonded samples were in
active request, and 40. per 701 b. higher than on Tuesday.
In barley, beans, peas, and oats little business transpired,
but all were held with more firmness. Indian corn was
m great request, and all the good useful parcels that of-
fered were cleared off at 2s. per quarter advance ; and
corn meal was 6d. per barrel dearer. In flour there was
no material change, but bonded parcels were more diffi-
cult to purchase. At this day's market there was a fair
attendance of dealers, but the weather being fine and dry,
there was no activity in the demand. A moderate sale
was experienced for old wheat, at an advance of ld. to 2d.
per 701 b. on all kinds of free, and 6d. per 701 b. on bonded,
on the prices of this day week. Several parcels of Irish
(new) appeared, quality various, and found buyers at 7s.
to Bs. per 701 b. Oats was scarce, and supported former
rates ; new Irish brought 3s. sd. to 3s. 6d. per 451 b. for
best kiln dried. For barley, beans, and peas there was a
slow demand, and all were rather easier to purchase. In-
dian corn, on the contrary, was in considerable request,
and 3s. per quarter dearer ; and Indian corn meal was
held for an advance of Is to ls. 6d. per barrel. In Ame-
rican flour there was no change, but Irish was more sale-
able at our quotations. There is very little old oatmeal
remaining here, and the few parcels of new that come
to hand find buyers at 31s. to 325. 6d. per 2401 b.

Harvest is now pretty well brought to eclose. Thoso
farmers who were late in cutting have procured their
crops in good condition. The weather for some con-
siderable time has been very fine. We had some de-
mand for Wheat to-day at last week's prices. Spring
Corn of every description unaltered in value.

THE OCEAN MONARCH.--We have been requested
by the mate of the late ill-fated vessel to publish the fol-
lowing :—" Being about to leave Liverpool I take this
opportunity to express my deep sense of gratitude to the
inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, also to the cap-
tains and officers of several ships in port, for their un-
bounded kindness to me since my escape from the ill-
fated ship Ocean Monarch. While on board of the
steam-frigate Affonso I received every attention ; and
on my arrival on shore the hand of friendship was offered
by all ; not the hand alone,
bat my friends contributed
to my every want, which enables me to leave Liverpool
in far more comfortable circumstances than I had hoped;
—a kindness I can never forget, and for which I shall
feel under the greatest of obligations as long as my life
is spared. May God bless them,
the receipt of a medal from the Liverpool Shipwreck and
Humane Society, as an expression of their opinion of my
woausldm
he ever so wealthy and liberal. I stn never can, becknowledge
also
me and others to du what is really our duty,--pthat is, to
conduct during that trying scene, and also to encourage
save life and relieve sufferingjwhenever it is in our
power, for which they have my sincere thanks, and may
God bless them in their labour of love while on etrth
they live (but may a like scene never come before them
again), and, when done with time, may they receive their
reward in that bright world above, where shipwreck and
suffering never enter ; which is the humble prayer of
JOTEIADI BRAGDON, late chief mate of the Ocean

SIR C. NAPIER'S SQUADRON.—During the recent
cruise of Sir Charles Napier's fleet off the south. west
coast of Ireland all the vessels tried their respective sail-

than the Blenheim, 56, screw steamer, which under al

the whole in a most )
extraordinar mariner,
the superiority of the screw to '

the mainmast, while the 131enh(itu's is abaft the main-
mast.
On the 2d instant, it
being
calm, near Kinsale
the si , • L,eal was made at day-light fall '
or the steamers to
get up steam. The St. Vincent was then towed by the
Dragon 7 knots per hour; the Stromboli towed the
Prince Regent 5i knots; the Blenheim towed the Bel-
lerophon 4i knots; the Reynard towed the Tweed 5
knots; and the Amphiou towed the Helena 3 knots.
When the result of this trial is considered—that of a
squadron of ships, for instance, off an enemy's port in a
calm, being towed in by their own vessels—it is si most
important point to be desired, more especially when
effected by those vessels which•have the auxiliary screw
only, such as.the Blenheim, Reynard, and .Amphion.—
