WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.-FRIDAY.

There is a fair arrival of Wheat to this day's market, but not
much of other Grain. The Millers have purchased Wheat
with more confidence than for some time past, and an advance
of Is. per quarter has been realised. Fine South Barley is
scarce and sells readily at an advance of Is. to 25., and Lin-
colnshire and Yorkshire must be noted Is. per quarter higher.
In Oats, Beans, and Shelling no material alteration, either in
price or demand.

Per qr. of 601 b to the bushel.

DEATII OF THE VERY REV. J. A. CROY' N.—The
jury on the inquest held on the body of the Very Ylev. J. A.
Cronin, who was found:drowned near Merchant's Quay, Cork,
have returned the following verdict:—" We find that the de-
ceased was accidentally drowned in the river Lee on last night,
and, from the evidence, we find he was subject to vertigo and
occasional loss of sight, having a tendency to apoplexy, which
we believe may have led to the melancholy event."
THE SLAVE-TRADE.—SIERRA LEONE, SEPT.. 23,

Two prizes have come up, the Independicia, 199 tons , Brazi-
lian brigantine, taken by the Madagascar, and sit ice con-

There was no change yesterday in the Liverpool Cotton
Market, and prices remained as previously quoted. Sales
5,000 bags. Shares were not quite so brisk, and prices rather
tended downwards. Eastern Counties were 10Ts. ; Great North
of England, 851; Great Western, Fifths, 19k; Birmingham'
New Thirds, 281; Brighton, 434 ; South Western, 76; Mid.
land Counties, 87i ; North Midland, 91% ; South Eastern'
361; Do. New, 3634; Paris and Orleans, 33k; Do. and
Lyons, 31. 6s. 6d.
There were some later accounts in town this morning front
Buenos Ayres, but the news beyond that published in another
column is not of any general interest. The state of trade is
spoken very unfavourably of, and, indeed, there was little hope
of improvement while the hostile movements commanded 10
much. attention and restricted commercial operations.
The returns relative to the quarter's revenue, and the 11:'
commencement of the purchase of Stock and Exchequer Bill
by the Government brokers, out of surplus income—never mind
how derived, say the Bulls in the Exchange--h°l
given an additional interest to the transactions in the funds.
The purchase of Stock for the next quarter will, it is truer
be small—only 27,1351.—but full 200,000/. are to be laid ell
in the redemption of Exchequer Bills. And as the Unfunded
Debt is diminished, so will the Funded Debt be enhanced.
The absorption of Stock at a period when Consols, with
the dividend and Reduced Three per Cents., are with'a
3to2h of par must have an influence on values. There were
private transfers made in all the stocks that have been 511°',
previously to the payment of the dividends. Three Pe
Cent. Consols have been done at 96i and at 97h ex-die.'
the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011 to
1011 ; and Long Annuities (to run till 1860) at 12#'
The Commissioners did not buy any stock this more'
ing. As this is the first private transfer day, the
stock market will not be closed till four o'clock, the Bank
England allowing transfers till half-past two, a press of
business having been calculated upon. Exchequer bills are at
695. premium, and India Bonds at 81s. premium. Bank Ste
has reached 187, but is now 1 per cent. lower.
Spanish Bonds have advanced this morning. The Thre°
per Cents. to 30e, 1, and the Consols to 221 Dutch
Bonds are much the same as yesterday. Mexican have risen t°

A slight decline has taken place in some of the Railwel;
Shares this morning. The principal alterations are a fa°
