Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 30.
At this day's market there was a fair demand for wheat,
and the bnsiness moderate, at about the fall quotations of
Tuesday. Barrel flour commanded full prices ; two or
three large parcels of French flour found buyers at 33s to
355 per 28lbs. Indian corn declined about 6d per quarter
since Friday last—white selling at 33s 6d to 33s 9d, and
yellow 34s 6d to 34s 9d per 4801b5. Other articles were
unchanged.

WAKEFIELD—Ann 30.
The stock of foreign wheat was large, but the arrivals
of English had been small, and although millers bought
sparingly, holders were mostly firm a: is advance. Beans
and barley steady; oats and shelling rather dearer.

BRISTOL SUGAR—APRIL 30.
We have had a firm market this week, but owing to the
very limited supplies offering, either of parcels to arrive
or on the spot, the transactions since our last are not large
_prices, however, have rather an upward tendency. Re-
finers produce of all kinds freely dealt in this week, and
some sorts are 6d dearer. Rum firm, but little doing.

BABEAROUS EXECUTIONS IN CHINA.--The following
is the article in the Overland Friend of china
of the
15th of March to which public attentionlast
was called
C om-
night by Mr. Robertson, M.P., in the House of
mone :—" One of the recent victims was a woman from
the rebel districts, who actually killed a mandarin as he
was riding on horseback. For this she was doomed to
be cut in pieces. The horrid process of nutting in pieces
has already been described in these column,, and there
is no necessity for full details ; but we are told by a
gentleman who was present that before they tied her
arms to the cross she made those slog
which Roman
Catholic converts are in the habit of employing when
appealing to the foreigner for protection.
Her cries,
however, were in vain, and her breasts, the
fleshy parts
et her arms, the calves of her legs and thighs were cut
off (the woman still living) before the knife was thrust
into the abdomen, and twisted up and round the inte-
guments of the heart. 13 men were beheaded at the
same time. It is greatly to be regretted, We think,
that
these barbarities cannot be made to cease while we are
in Canton. Among the people the opinion has
grown,
no doubt, that Queen Victoria and the EruP or or Napo-
leon sanction atrocities of this kind. Indeed, it is a re-
markable fact that the panic of geode moving increased
after this display of ' blood' in a threefold ratio to its
previous existence. We have been told, though the
source of our information is not of the best, that the
deed having reached the ears of the 'Dictator' (Colonel
Holloway and Captain Du Chenez are nonentities in the
commissionership) he remonstrated with Peh, who as-
sured him that the woman was executed by the express
commands of the Emperor for the murder of her hus-
band and his second wife. Her real crime was as herein
given, or the greater crime of being a Christian. The
fact f the woman having crossed herself to the English
witness may not be disputed. 'So r xasperated was lat
the sight,' said our informant, 'that with difficulty I
restrained myself from using my revolver on the infernal
blood-craving fieodi,' ''
