LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.-April 15.

At this day's market there was a very large display of
samples on \ the stands, particularly of Wheat and Oats,
and although a reduction of fully Id. per respective bushel
on the best, and rather more on inferior qualities, was sub-
mitted to, sales were effected only to a very small extent,
and all other articles participated in this depression, with-
out alteration iu the general quotations.

It is a curious fact, proved by one of the most
eminent medical men living, that the number of suicides
is less in a given numher of persons in this country than in
any country in Europe. France affords the largest num-
ber, and, we believe, Prussia the next. But the reason
we have always had this bad pre-eminence assigned to us
is, that no man dies suddenly in this country without an
inquest being taken upon the body, which inquest is always
made public. This is not the case abroad. No inquests
are held, and little or no inquiry made. The amount of
bodies taken out of the Seine and deposited at the Morgue,
is very great; yet it is never published. If the bodies ars
owned by relatives and friends, they are taken away and
buried : if not owned, they are buried after r. certain
time, and the public know nothing of the matter.—
Evening Paper.—This is perfectly correct.— Times.
• MOST IMPUDENT ROBBERY.--The follow-
ing successful case of barefaced robbery cannot be easily
surpassed by the most expert professors of conveyancing of
the present day. Last week an honest farmer, from the
eastern part ef the county of Essex, attended with some
stock to dispose of at Rumford market. In the course of
the day he met with a person who claiMed his acquaintance,
and mentioned circumstances that convinced the farmer
they must have often met before. The farmer sold his
beasts, and retired with his old acquaintance to a public-
house, where they drank freely, and then proceeded to-
gether towards Chelmsford. On Me road, however, they
stopped to bait their horses, and had more to drink, until
the farmer was too much inebriated to proceed further that
night. They slept in a double-bedded room, and, early
in the morning, the farmer being still asleep, his friend
dressed himself in his clothes, in the pockets of which his
money was deposited, paid the expenses of the night, pro-
ceeded to the stable, and was ready to mount the farmer's
horse, worth forty guineas, leaving his own old horse and
clothes with-the farmer in lieu. • Just as he was leaving
the house the farmer awoke, and finding his quondam
friend, and his own clothes and money gone, he got hastily
up, put on the clothes left for him, and came down stairs
in time to prevent, as he thought, the escape of his old
acquaintance. The knave faced him boldly before the
landlord and servants, dressed and mounted as we have
described, and succeeded in convincing them that the
farmer was an impostor; this was easier done, as the
parties were strangers in the house. The villain even
proposed that they should ride together to Chelmsford,
when his identity could be proved by many respectable
persons. As matters stood, the farmer agreed to this ar-
rangement, and mounted the rogue's old horse. They had
not proceeded far when the farmer's palfrey became so lame
that he could scarcely walk, the thief having, while in the
stable, driven a nail in the animal's foot. It was then that
the cheat applied the spur to the horse he rode, and soon
left the farmer to get home as well as he could, minas a
suit of clothes, his horse, and about 1401. in cash.
