NEWS FROM CHINA

Extract of a letter, dated Bomba

23, at nine in ti

evening, received by the Mediterranean Packet

" The stea

is already under weigh, and dropping dowr

but I try to catch her with three lines, to say that a privat
express from Calcutta has arrived, which states that intelli,
sense had been received there from China, by the steamer
Enterprise, of the arrival of part of the expedition to Canton

river, and of the total destruction of the forts of the Bocca
Tigris. We shall know the truth of all in a day or two ; it is
doubted by none."

LIVERPOOL CORN E

KCHANGE,-THIS DAY

Exclusive of a few showers early on Sunday, the weather

was fine here from Thursday last until yesterday, when it
became wet ; and though favourable during part of the day,
we had a return of rain at night, which continued to fall
heavily at-intervals until this morning, still exhibiting an

uncertain aspect

Since Friday

.e have to report a limited increas

reign Wheat,

Barley, Oats, and Peas, with a tolerable guar

tit} of State

from Irel

lour, and a moderate supply of new Oatmea
Ind, whilst of English and Irish Grain the arrival;

continue very inconsiderable.
Notwithstanding the rain previously noticed, and the li-
mited arrivals this week, the demand for Foreign Wheat was

upon a moderate scale only, but wit'', little variation from the
rates of Tuesday last. Of Irish re.. -
eels appeared, and in the absence of a more ample supply,
brought Bs. 9d. to 9s. 3d. Home grown samples being plen-

Wheat a few small pa

tifnl, rece

os. uu. to 9s. 6d. for white, and tfs. bd. tc
Os. per 70 lb. for red, with a tendency to decline in value.
Barrel Flour continuing in good request, fully maintained
late prices,—and a small lot of.lrish new was shown, the
quality very prime, and appeared to be worth about 55s per
280 lbs.

In Barley, Malt

nd Beans we have no change to note

Pease, upon a limited inquiry, were again rather cheaper.
Old Oats, attended with a dull sale, declined Id. per
45 lbs. ; and new, although in moderate request, were •of-
fered 2d. to 3d. per bushel below our last quotations.

Old Oatmeal was taken off sparingly, at an abatement of

Is., and new, with increasing supplies, receded to 30s. to

3I s. 6d. per 210 lb
