LONDON CORN MARKET
There was a short supply of wheat by land carriage samples
from Essex and Kent this morning, and a very limited quantity
of barley, beans, and peas from all the near counties, with
limited fresh arrival of oats from our own coast, Scotland, and
Ireland.

YESTERDAY

The importations of foreign wheat and barley during the past
week were tolerably good, with a somewhat large quantity of
oats, ancli! fair supply of other articles of the trade. _ _ _

• SiUce this day seinnight, the weather has been cold with a
shifting wind ; this morning it is south-west, and we have had
some nice warm rain, so that at last a favourable change seems
at hand.

At the opening of the market very high prices were demanded
for all English Wheat, which appeared to check business, but
ultimately the rates of Friday were submitted to, being about
Is. per qr. advance on last Monday's currency for choice sam-
ples only, whilst for foreign a fair steady demand was expe-
rienced at Is. to 2s. per qr. improvement in the value of all
sorts. Buyers for export still show themselves, and that de-
mand is now extending to Holland, as well as to France and
Belgium.

Flour was without any alteration in value, but the sale not
very lively.

garley-yas Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer, and good samples

were in fair req

lalt was he'd for full prices, but taken slowlf_at the recent

advance

Beans were Is. per qr. higher, and in good demand.
Peas of all sorts were held for fully as much money.
The increased supply of Foreign Oats, combined with this
morning's favourable change in the weather,l caused the trade
to be dull at last week's currency.
Linseed was fully as dear, and in moderate demand.
Rapeseed continues scarce, and brought quite former terms.
Cloverseed was held at higher rates.
Floating cargoes of most articles are more enquired after,
and Wheat, Barley, and Beans are held for more money.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET,

,-YESTERDAY

The number of beasts was not so large, trade was in conse-
quence better. From Holland we had 396, Scotland 220, Nor-
folk and Suffolk 2000, and 750 from various parts of the coun-
try . The supply of sheep and lambs was not so great, the
former sold at advanced prices. Lambs did not sell so well,
From Holland there were 880 sheep and 62 calves. The calf
trade was dull for inferior quality, prime were in demand at
Friday's prices. Beef, inferior quality, 3s. 4d. to 4s. ; first
quality, 4s. 2d. to 4s. 6d. Mutton, inferior quality, 4s. 2d. to
to 4s. Bd. ; first quality, 4s. 10d. to ss. 4d. Veal, inferior qua-
lity, 4s. to 4s. 8d; first quality, 4s. 10d. to ss. 2d. Pork, in-
ferior quality, 4s. 66. to ss. ; first quality, ss. 2d. to ss. 4d.
Lamb inferior quality, 5s 4d. to 6s. 4d.; first quality, 6s. 6d. to
Gs. 10d. per 8 lb.

ACCESSION TO LIVERPOOL PROFESSIONAL

TALENT

We have great pleasure in directing attention to the adver-
tisement of Mr. Goodall, in another column, announcing his
having settled permanently in Liverpool, where he purposes
giving lessons in dancing and calisthenic exercises, but more
especially pursuing his career as a professor of the violin anti
violoncello. We have been favoured with an opportunity, in
private, of hearing Mr. Goodall's performance upon the former
instrument, which he has studied under De Beriot and Mori,
and can honestly state that, as a solo performer, whether for
tone or execution, he is not excelled by the best masters, and
does credit to those eminent men who have afforded him the
benefit of their instructions. We hope shortly to have the op-
portunity of hearing him in public, when the music-loving
people of Liverpool will find that they have secured in him an
acquisition to their stock of professional talent not to be got
at except from sources too costly to be resorted to except on
extraordinary occasions.

the list. It consists of fifteen, including Annandale, Inhe-
ritress, Lord Saltoun, and twelve others. Kent has only

EASTHAM FERRY.—This truly romantic ferry, one of
the most lovely retreats on the banks of the Mersey, may
now be said to be fairly opened for the season. A new
slip, which greatly facilitates the landing, has been erected,
and that a continual communication may be kept up,
another boat (we believe from the Clyde) has been placed
on the station to run in conjunction with the Royal Tar,
the swiftest boat on the river ; indeed, no effort is spared
by the proprietor, Mr. Nicholls, to make this ferry as
fashionable and convenient, as it is beautiful and pictu-
relque. • - -

GLASS DEVOTED TO A NEW PURPOSE

.—Gla3s, of a

rich ruby colour, has been used, instead of the old ebony,
for the sharp or flat keys of the organ of All Saints,
Northampton. The Bedford Times suggests that the
idea may be happily applied to the whole key board of
Vie piano-forte, with a tasteful diversity or iridescence of
colours. If not too smooth for the friction of the gentle
cushions usually applied to such electrifiers, and if not as
cold in winter to the touch as the ebony and ivory
con-
trast certainly is at all times to the sight, we should
and add
wonder if the idea may find favour in bright eYe9'
a new grace where so much of the graceful is already g 0
often concenterecl.—The Builder.
MR. ROGERSONS ESTABLISHMENT, CHuacit-sTaimor.••••
Day by day we see internal and external alterations in the

given us more minute gratification tnan those now com-
pleting at this even hitherto beautiful establishment.
Within the last few.years Mr. Rogerson has not only ex-
tended the length of his shop, but has engrossed the
whole of the adjoining premises ; and now, in order that
the appearance may be in no way behind the extent of
the establishment, it has been literally re-built. The
part which has a great breadth to Church-street is stuccoed
in the Grecian style of architecture, with balustrades et
the top, bearing an escutcheon, on which is raised in bold
sans serif characters the name "Rogerson." The win'
dows which are of plate glass, are surmounted in the same
style, and the whole presents not only a pleasing but an
imposing and splendid appearance. The front to William-
son-street will be of the same character. The internal
alterations are such as will enable the proprietor to give
every facility to his numerous friends and patrons in the
dispatch of business in all the branches he so ably con-
ducts. On viewing the spacious room appropriated to the
mantle, shawl and scarf department, we were particularly
struck with the truly splendid appearance of the interior,
fitted up as it has been in a most tasteful and elegant man-
ner. We are sure that all who may avail themselves of
the opportunity of witnessing it will agree with us in opi-
nion that the beauty of its design is worthy of imitation.
ETYMOLOGY.—The word " cobbler" is derived from

coble" or " cobble," a round, hard stone found in the
beds of streams, and brought down from the mountains,
and rounded by the floods ; a stone of this kind being used
by cobblers to beat their leather upon.
A THREAT.--A good specimen of Lord Ellenborough's
pungent humour not always observant of time and place,
is given by Lord Eldon. Upon the occasion of a royal
marriage, there being much talk during the ceremony in
one corner of the drawing-room, his lordship exclaimed--'
" Be silent in that corner of the room, or you shall be mar-
ried yourselves !"
