LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.—THis DAY.

Our Share market is a shade flatter this morning, as might
be expected after the rapid advance of the last few days. Our
private telegraph from London also reports a weaker market,
both for consols and shares. The prices to one o'clock are as
follow :—Chester and Birkenhead, 14} ; Caledonian preference,
11i; Great Northern preference, 4 p; London and York Ex-
tensions, 1/ d ; Leeds sths, 3d d ; London stock, 129 ; Do. i's,
3p; Midland 'so's, d ; Berwick Extensions, d ; 1)o.
preference, 31 d; Royal Assurance, 2p. We have rather more
business doing, but there is a preponderance of sellers.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tins DAY.
Although the supplies from Ireland had nearly ceased of late,
and -little expected to he shipped thence, we have a tolerable
quantity of Oats and Flour fresh in from that quarter, with a
few small parcels of Grain coastwise; whilst the-imports from
abroad since this day week are in the aggregate limited in
amount, consisting chiefly of Wheat, Oats, and Pease from the
north of Europe, and of !leans thence and Egypt; those from
the United States, being merely 401 barrels Flour, with 2,124
quarters of Indian Corn, against 12,512 quarters of the latter
exported during the week to Ireland.
At. this days market we bac a mo"erately fair hut not
extensive demand for Wheat, at rather higher prices than on
Friday, making the advance upon the rates of this day week
ld. to 2,1. per iOlbs.
Flour was also in moderate re,

pest, and held at rather higher

prices.
For Barley there was a retail demand, on the full terms I
noted.
Malt dull, but not cheaper.
Beans and Pease, with occasional sales, supported late pric
Oats, upon an increased supp.y,receded fully Id. per 45th
and Oatmeal, being dull, was difficult of sale at a little um
the currency of this day week.
Indian Corn was in tolerable request, at an advance on 3
low of 6d. per qr., and white remains steady in value.

A MOMENT.

(Prom Charles Swain's " English Melodies," just published.)

'Tis the breath of a moment—which no one regardeth—
That holdeth the key to each secret of life ;
'Tie "a moment" that oft our long watchiug rewardeth,
And calms the dark waters of sorrow and strife;
Its breath may seem nothing,—and yet 2tis extending
A power the sublimest our being can know,
A moment may yield us a bliss without ending—
A moment consign us to darkness and woe!
Its circle may flash with a beauty that ages
May crown as immortal, and hallow its birth;
A moment may question the wisdom of sages,
And change the whole system and science of earth.
A moment—the soul of the painter can feel it—
It thrills through his frame with a spirit like fire ;
A moment—oh ! once let the gifted reveal it,
And heaven is short of the height 't would aspire.
Go, ask of the hero when victory soundeth
What glory a moment of time may command;
Ask the home-seeking sailor, while fast his heart boundeth,
How sweet is the moment he views his own land :
Ask the lover, when whisper to whisper replieth
In accents that tremble lest lips be o'erheard ;
And oh ! they will tell you each moment that dieth
Hath crowded eternity oft in a word !
