LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 15

During the last few days we have received several cargoes of
Wheat coastwise and from abroad, and the week's supplies .of this
article ale to a good amount; and we have also had 5760 barrels of
Flour from Canada; otherwise the imports have been light. The
weather. during the same period, though showery, has not, on the
whole, been unfavourable to the crops. Since Tuesday, when a
decline of 3d per bushel from our last quotations was noted, no
material change has occurred In prices of Wheat. nor has there
been much business passing in the free market ; but, during Thurs-
day and yesterday, several cargoes changed bands in bond. In free
Flour, which has been offering at a reduction of is 6d to 2s per
barrel, sales to a tolerably fair amount have taken place in United
States, at 34s 6d to 355 (td; Canadian 335 641 to 34S Gd per barrel;
a few parcels of the former, in bond, have been sold at 295 to 30s
per barrel. Oats and Oatmeal have met little inquiry : the former
must be noted 2d per barrel, the latter is per load, cheaper. Barley,
too, has receded 3d per bushel in value,. No change as regards
Beans or Peas.. The duty on Wheat is now lOs Bd, that on Beans
Is. per qr.

SELECT EXTtLieTS

EAGLES COURSING.—When two eagles are in pursuit of
a hare, they show great tact; it is exactly as if two well-
matched greyhounds were turning a hare—as one rises, the
other descends, until poor puss is tired out. When one of
them succeeds in catching her, it fixes a claw in her back,
and holds by the ground with the other, striking all the time
with its beak.—The Moor and Loch.

CAMPEACHY

The schooner Patriot, which arrived at New Orleans on
the 15th July, brings later accounts from Campeachy, whence
she sailed on the Bth. That port is now in possession of the
federalists, and has been since the 16th of June last. On
that day the garrison of Campeachy, to the number of two
hundred men, surrendered. The terms of capitulation were,
that the prisoners should be permitted to carry away with
them their arms and baggage. They were transported to
Vera Cruz in five schooners belonging to the federalists,
under convoy of a French corvette. On landing the troops,
the agreement was that the federal schooners should be.per-
milted to return unmolested, and the French corvette at-
tended the squadron in order to enforce the fulfilment of the
stipulation. The utmost quiet andgood order reigned through-
out Yucatan.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QU

By the arrival of the British Queen at Portsmouth, on Sa-
turiay morning, we hive received New York papers,to the
Ist instant, inclusive. The following are the most important

extracts

(From the Commercial Journal of Aug. 1.)
Orders to some extent were received from England for the
shipment of flour by the arrival of the British Queen, and
some 30,000 barrels have been shipped since that period from
this port for that country. At first prices advanced 12-ic. per
bbl., but recently the inquiry having fallen off, that advance
could now with difficulty be obtained. From all accounts,
the present harvest will prove as abundant as the last.

The Cotton Market was without animation from the time
of the arrival of the British Queen till a few days since, when
an active demand arose, chiefly for shipment to England, with
rather advancing prices. The exports of cotton to Europe
since the Ist of October, 1839, amount to 1,731,605 bales
against 1,074,138 last year, and 1,498,195 the year before.
The yield of this important crop will probably prove this year
as large, if not larger, than was that of the last.
A brisk demand existed for exchange on England, on the
25th, at 1061 to 1071, when a packet sailed, by which large
remittances were made. The demand has since diminished,
and neither the steam-ship Britannia or British Queen will
take out as many bills as was anticipated. The following are
the rates of exchange as they closed to-day :

London
Paris 530 to 526 k
Amsterdam
Hamburg
Bremen
We have an abundant supply of specie. The British Queen
takes out none worth notice. The Havre packet has on board
50,000 in Mexican dollars, and 25,000 dols. in doubloons. A
demand for Boston has lately existed, supposed to be intended
for shipment to China.

THE WEATHER.-AND CROPS

LONGTON.—Our Langton correspondent says—The late
fine weather has stopped the mouths of the grumblers. All
nature smiles, replete with promises of a most abundant
harvest, and notwithstanding the selfish assertions of a cor-
respondent of yours, that the Deity need not to be reminded
of our wants, we in this neighbourhood, both in public and
in private, still continue to offer up our prayers and praises
and thanksgivings to the. bountiful giter of all good gifts.—
Preston Chronicle.
LEEDS.—Though theweather during the past week has
not been so sultry as it was in the previous week, it has been
equally beneficial to the growing crops. On Wednesday and
Thursday we had two smart thunder showers, which, of
course, lowered the temperature of the atmosphere, but as
they were succeeded by dry winds, they have been more ad-
vantageous than hurtful to the grain crops. During the
week the corn harvest has very genera ly commenced
throughout the county, and in the course of a fortnight,
should the present weather continue, all the early grain will
be housed. It is universally spoken of as being of excellent
quality,—wheat, oats, and barley.—Leeds Intellivncer.
BARNSLEY.—The wheat harvest in this neighbourhood has
commenced in good earnest. The crops are fine and abun-
dant. The farmers say that they scarcely ever saw wheat
stand so well ; there is rarely to be found a yard of wheat laid
in the whole district. We had a rich shower on Wednesday,
and again on Thursday, which has done considerable good to
the turnip and seed crop.—lbid.
On Saturday last, forty bushels of beautiful new oats were
exposed for sale in Richmond market, which 'brought ss. a
bushel.—lbid.
Last week new oats were shown in Ripon market, and sold
for 435. a quarter. The quality of this is generally excellent.
—lbid.
CIRENCESTER.—Some very fine samples of new barley
were exhibited in our market on 'Monday ; it appeared to
have been harvested in excellent condition.
HORSHAM.—The harvest is proceeding very rapidly.
Much wheat has been cut during the last week, and some
has been carried in excellent order. The weather has, since
the Ist of August, been most beautifully fine. There were a
few samples of good winter oats in our market on Saturday
last, and one or two of new wheat. Hay is fast rising in
price.—Brighton Gazette.
DUMFRIESSIIIRE.—We were shown yesterday a sheaf of
oats from a three-acre enclosure of Provost Fraser's, at
Douievale, the whole of which was cut on Thursday last.
He has another park nearly for the sickle. Both of these
varieties of the genus Arena were the produce of Siberia, and
imported from Liverpool by Mr. Waugh, grain-dealer.
The pickles are still soft, but are nearly quite ripe. The
straw is lengthy and quite yellow•.—Dum,ries Courier.

MY DECEASED INFANT

BY THE REV. J. B. M'CREA

(For the Liverpool Standard.)

O say, mysterious Lord ! those struggles why
In one unpractised in the ways of sin ?
I know that thou art righteous, and the cry
Of suffering innocence delight'st not in !
Thine anger burns to generations four—
My sins, my fathers' sins, too, have been great ;
But thou art merciful to thousands more
Of them that love thee—and I LOVE THEE YET.
O with what agonies my soul was torn,
As day by day with pain thy lip was curl'd,
My guileless babe ! What sorrow, then, was borne
By Him the surety for a guilty world !
Death's sting is sin—to this a stranger thou;
In all its weight with sin familiar He
Who bore the cross with thorn-encircled brow,
Thus to propitiate for his own—for thee.
For ever now, my child, thy pangs are o'er ;
Again shall change nor chance affect thy rest;
My comfort this, thy recent struggles more
Enhance thy rapture with the spirits blest.
Then in thy hallelujahs let me join :
My faith would tune, but I
attre
nslacks the chord ;
Thankful, not joyful, baby, resig,—
And thou wilt hear my broken song, good Lord.

BY SIR MORGAN O'DOIIERTY, BART.
Music of England ! which barbarians vile
Of ears not fitted for harmonious sound
Will call rough music—symphony renowned
Through all the lengthened annals of our isle
Str ke up ! Let softer lands their souls beguile
With softer instrument. No foreign hound,
Spaniard, or Portuguese, of phiz embrowned,
Or quavering scion of Italian soil,
Scraped from the fiddle, whistled through the flute,
Squeaked in the fife, or strummed on the guitar
On banks of Tagus, Po, or Guadal-quiver,
Notes which with thine the mastery can dispute
For force or melody in love or war,
Our own immortal marrow-bone and cleaver !
In Lockhart's ballads (page I quite forget—
I mean the ballads which that 'LL.D.
Of Rhedycina did pretend that he
Had from Castilian lingo overset,
Scorning precise fidelity, but yet - •
Breathing forth bursts of charming song, which we
In romancero tome will never see,)
You'll read, in our prime favourite of the set,—
" Rise up, rise up, Xarifa !" how the maid
Was by sweet voices urged in frequent suit
To lay her cushion down, and mark the going
Of him who once false love to her bad played,
As on his wedding-day " the lovely lute
Did sound between the trumpets' lordly blowing."
No lovely lute, no trumpets loud alarms, •
Should hail the morning of St. Valentine,
That morn selected as most fit to shine
On fair Victoria in her blushing charms,
Clasped for the first time in a husband's arms.
No! Royal Lady, this old realm of thine •
Rath organs which in nobler concert join—
Meaning to say, " No fear of hostile harms
Shall keep the. men of true-born British bone
From dashing boldly on the opposing steel ;
And that the steel of Britain shall be seen
Ready at Beauty's call." In loudest tone
Strike then, while Windsor's bells their joy-notes peal—
Strike, marrow-bones and cleavers, for the Queen !
