principally however for ship stores.—Bacon continues to move off

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 23.
(From the Circular of Mew!. James Scott and Son.)

Having in our circular of the 2nd instant, noticed that the motion
of Mr. Villiers, for a " Consideration of the Corn Laws," was nega-
tived in the House of Commons, on the 26th ult. by a majority of
123, in a house of 477 members, we now think it proper to record
the rejection of a similar motion of Earl Fitzwilliam, in the House
of Peers, on the 11th instant, by a great majority; 127 members
present, and 67 proxies against the motion, and 34 present. 8 proxies
for it.—On this subject we can only repeat, and refer to the observa-
tions we made in that circular letter.

During the past week the imports of Wheat and Flour from
Foreign ports have been considerable; but of all Grain, Flour, and
Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastwise, they have been very mode-
rate; the weather, though not very forwarding, being rather cold
and rainy, has continued pretty favourable for all agricultural pro-
duce, and the demand has continued to a fair extent for Wheat and
Flour, at an increase in prices of 2d to 3d per 701 b. on most descrip-
tions of the former, and of 3d to 6d per barrel and per sack on the
latter • while for all other articles our last quotations have been ob-
tained here and in all our surrounding markets.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports has, as anticipated, been
increased since Friday last to 18s titt per quarter, and on Flour to
115 22d per barrel; previous to which day, since the commencement
of this mouth, duty was paid here on about 49,500 quarters Wheat,
and on about 54,000 barrels of Flour, leaving still in bond here on
the 18th instant, about 75,000 quarters of the former, and about
97,000 barrels of the latter, held over by many importers steadily,
in the expectation of a speedy reduction of the duties, and under
which prospect, also, a large quantity of both articles in bond has
recently changed hands at a small advance ; there is no alteration
in the duties. or in the value of other kinds of Grain.
At this day's market there was a fair attendance of our own
millers and dealers, and by many from distant markets ; the decline
in London, yesterday, prevented any further advance in prices, and
curtailed the demand, which would probably otherwise have oc
curred, but sales were made to a moderate extent of Wheat and
Flour, at about the advance above-noted ; and the first imports of
Flour from Canada and Halifax found sales at 365 to 365 3d per
barrel ; for all other articles the usual moderate demand occurred,
with little or no variation in prices from last week.
