This splendid new iron steam-ship, commanded by Capt.
M'Arthur, made a pleasure trip from this port to Dublin on
Monday, and returned same evening, (arriving early this
morning,) after a run, " out and home," which proves her
to be truly a " clipper." As we have before noticed, she
was built (both vessel and engines) for the Glasgow and Li-
verpool Royal Steam Company, by Messrs. Tod and
M`Gregor of the former port, and is intended to run between
this and the western metropolis of Scotland. She is of 800
tons burihen, and 380 horse-power.
The Princess Royal started from the Sea-wall of the Cla-
rence Dock on Monday morning, at seven minutes past six
o'clock, in company with her Majesty's Mail Steam-ship
Urgent, and arrived in Kingston harbour, against a strongish
head wind, in nine hours and forty-tour minutes, leaving the
Urgent, hull down, shortly after passing Holyhead. There
were on board fifty-six gentlemen, all of whom were highly
delighted with the magnificent accommodations, the sumptu-
ous fare, and the extraordinary speed of the vessel. Most of
the party proceeded to Dublin by the railway, and after en-
joying themselves for nearly two hours again joined the ves-
sel, which started on her return hither a few minutes past six
o'clock, and accomplished the passage into the river in precisely
nine hours, or nine hours and five minutes from quay to quay.
On her homeward voyage she met the Urgent on her " out-
ward passage," (after the delay mentioned,) off the Hill of
Houth. The Princess, mail ship, (a fast vessel,) had sailed
half an hour before her, and she overtook and passed her at
nine o'clock, before making Holyhead light. The Princess
Royal made her last passage from Glasgow to this port in
fifteen hours and twenty-three minutes, the quickest on re-
cord, and is, we will venture to say, the fastest steam-ship
afloat. We had the pleasure to be on board of her on her
pleasure trip, and shall notice it at more length in our next
publication.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE,—THis DAY.

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN 84. SONS' Circular.)

The arrival of English and Irish produce into this port
since Tuesday last are upon the whole rather moderate ; and
those from abroad, with the exception of a good supply of
Beans and Flour, as specified underneath, are inconsidera-
ble.

Although within the last two days the weather has been
fine, we have had a return of rain again last night and to-
day, with a very unsettled appearance, which will necessarily
protract the harvest somewhat beyond the period anticipated
last month. Under this impression, combined with a pre-
vailing opinion that the stocks of Wheat in the hands of the
farmers throughout the country are comparatively light, the
tendency in the leading markets of the kingdom to advance,
and the prospect of lower duties, have given a further impulse
to the trade, as regards bonded Wheat and Flour, and in the
course of yesterday we had a continued active demand for
each at improving rates, which has been renewed this morn-
ing; and altogether within the week 15,000 quarters Wheat
under lock have changed hands, the best yellow Baltic sam-
ples being now worth Os. 10d. per 701bs. 'With few sellers
of Flour during the same time, at least 15,000 barrels Ameri-
can have been taken on speculation, and the best brands to-
day command 255. per brl. ; many parcels of both Wheat and
Flour, previously offering, being now withdrawn from sale.

In free Wheats we have to note a fair but not very active
demand this morning, at an advance of ld. to 2d. per 701bs.
since this day se'nnight, the millers having little choice of
samples, on account of the moderate stock remaining here.
English and Irish Flour must be noted ls. per sack, and
States Flour, duty paid, Is. per barrel dearer ; the value of
Canadian free remaining unaltered.

The trade in all other articles has fully supported late
prices, but without any important business being tran-
sacted.
