CORN MARKET.
There was a scanty show of English Wheat, the supplies
of foreign were moderate, but trade opened firm. The factors
demanded an advance of 3s. to 4s. per quarter on Wednes'
day's rates. Many factors withdrew their samples of foreign,
but the advance nominally the same as on English. Barley
and Beans about 6d. to Is. dearer. Peas, the turn higher.
Oats, 6d. to ls. dearer. Arrivals small. Seeds steady. The
trade closed without animation—the stoppage of navigatioo
retarding operations. English Wheat nominally quoted '29"
to 3s. higher than on Wednesday last ; foreign Is. to 9!
dearer. Town-made Flour, 70s. Fine Barley fully
at deatl
other sorts steady. Beans and I'eas the turn higher. ostr
firm at al. advance. Seeds steady.

PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 30.—The market for beef has been in-
active this week, but we look for a better demand early in
the new year, as the stocks in the hands of the trade are light.
Pork, also, has ruled dull ; there is, however, less disposition
to press sales than in the beginning of the month. Some
small parcels of new bacon have been taken at 445. to 50$;
the dealers anticipate lower prices and buy sparingly.
Shoulde.-s move more freely. There is very little doing in
lard on the spot; a sale for spring delivery at 50s is reported.
Cheese, where fine, sells readily; ordinary sorts are neglected.

JAN. 2.—The transac!ions in butter were to a limited
extent last week, but in consequence of the advices of short
supplies into the Irish market, and the high rates paying
there, full prices were obtained. The import is falling off
considerably, and as the stocks held here are only moderate,
holders now demand an advance of Is to 2s per cwt. Bacon
is almost neglected. 'Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel, 100 s
to 102 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 98s to 100 s ; Bel-
fast, 95s to 98s ; Sligo, 93s to 965; Limerick, 93e to 96s ; and
Pickled Cork, 2nds, 91s per cwt., landed. Imported from
Ireland from the 24th December to the 30th December, 1853 :
6802 firkins, 6 kegs, 270 crocks, 225 boxes, 223 barrels butter;
77 bales bacon; 12 hhds. 8 trcs. hams; 2 trcs., 30 firkins, 40
kegs lard.

TO CORRESPONDISNTS.

JANE asks us for full particulars of the mode to be pursued
in effecting a matrimonial union at the Registrar's office.
She had far better be content with the orthodox mode
which she will find in the Book of Common Prayer; but we
will endeavour to oblige her. By the Marriage Act, 6 and
7, Wm. IV., c. 85, passed 17th Aug.. 1836, notice of an in-
tended union is to be given to the superintendent registrar
of the district in which the parties shall have dwelt for not
less than seven days next preceding, for which the fee is
one shilling. This notice shall be kept on the book for
three weeks, and read at the meetings of Guardians, after
which the registrar shall grant a certificate, for which the
fee is one shilling, but it is only operative within three
months. The union must take place before the registrar
and two witnesses, for which the fee is five shillings. The
registrar may also grant a license, for which the fee is .43,
besides the stamp, and when the union is celebrated in the
registrar's office, two witnesses must be present, and the
fee is ten shillings. All particulars as to impediments
must be observed, the same as in marriages in Church, and
where the parties reside in a different district, notice must
be given to the registrar of each district.

We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communica-
tions on subjects of local or general interest.
BOOKS, &c., FOR REVIEW, may be left at Mr. C. Mitchell's,
Redlion-court, Fleet-street, London, addressed "to the
Editor of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD," when they will be

STEAM COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN
%It
LIVERPOOL AND ANTWERP.
Next Summer, as soon as the Screw Steam-
ships now building for the Atlantic are completed, a regular
STEAM COMMUNICATION will he established. by first-
class steamers, between LIVERPOOL and ANTWERP.
Goods will be received by these Steamers at Antwerp for
transhipment at Liverpool by the Steam-ships to the United
States; and the transhipment at Liverpool, as in the Com-
pany's Trade between Havre and Liverpool, will be free of
expense to the Goods.
It is not intended by the Establishment of this Line to cur-
tail in any way the facilities already possessed by the French,
German, and Belgian Shippers of Merchandise to America
from Havre, via Liverpool, but as an additional means for
the expedition of their Goods.

LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—This
gave its eighth subscription concert for the season en
evening of Tuesday last. The attendance was very wel
owing no doubt in a considerable degree to the inclel
of the weather. The programme consisted of a Judie!,
selection of miscellaneous pieces, including ballads
music of higher pretension. The performances of,r,
orchestra were, as usual, efficient, and the voeal
acquitted themselves in good style ; both instrument
and singers securing loud and frequent applause.
concert was appropriately closed by a well-regulated r
formance of " God save the Queen."
THE IcE for the last few days has been rapidly incresl
in the river Thames. On Saturday the navigation wash
riously impeded by the masses of floating ice. In 5.016
parts it might be seen reaching entirely across then,
At present it is broken up into small pieces a few 01:v,
thick ; but here and There, from the settling of one q
upon another, it is at least two feet in thickness. I
frost should continue for two days, it is probable that "
navigation will be eompletely stopped. On Saturdg.,
was expected that the Woolwich steamboats wont lit
obliged to cease running, in consequence of the InJ
caused to the paddle-wheels.

ACCIDENT AT THE EIISTON-SQUARE TERMINI:7S.

lated. He resided at No. 7, Stanmoe-street, Old St.

MOMAS S SHILLING CONCERTS.

TxtE first attempt was made last night to revive the
experiment of cheap concerts at the Philharmonic Hall,
and it proved triumphantly successful. Last year it was
evident that there was sufficient love of music in Liverpool
to. support first-class concerts at low prices, and perse-
verance would no doubt have overcome every difficulty.
Last night nothing was left to desire ; every seat was oc-
cupied, numbers were obliged to stand, and thunders of
applause testified to the gratification afforded. The or-
chestra comprised about sixty instrumental performers.
Miss Lascelles proved a valuable acquisition as a vocalist,
while Mr. T. Harper on the trumpet in "The Soldier
Tired," was vociferously cheered. In a word, the success
of the Shilling Concerts is an accomplished fact.
