LWERPOOL, APRIL 30.

At this day's market there was a fair demand for wheat,
and the business moderate, at about the full quotations of
Tuesday. Barrel flour commanded full prises; two or
three large parcels of Fre .ch flour found buy,rs at 333 to
353 per 281bs. Indian corn declined about Gaper quarter
since Friday 11st—white sellin; at 33s Gd to 13s 9d, and
yellow 34s 6d to 34s 9d per 4801bs. Other ar•icles were
unchanged.

WAREFIELD—ArRIL 30.
The stock of foreign wheat was large, but the arrivals
of English ha-.l been small, and although millers bought
sparingly, holders were mostly firm a% is advance. Beane
and barley steady ; oats and shelling rathsr 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 fid dearer. Rum firm, but little doing.

BARE&ROUS EXICCUTIONS IN CHINA.—The following
is the article in the Overland Friend of China of the
15th of March to which public attention was c•dled last
i
night by Mr. Robertson, M.P., .n the Rouge of Com-
mons :—" One of the recent victimswas 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 cutting in pieces
has already been described in these columns, 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 thoss, 5i,,.n4

however, were in vain, and her breasts, the fleshy parts
at her arms, the calves of her legs and
thighs were cut
off (the woman still living) before the knife was thrust
round the inte-

after this display of ' blood in a threefold ratio to its

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 Peb, who as-
sured him that the woman was executed by the express
command' 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 of the woman having crossed herself to the English
