LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THrs DAY.
The trade throughout the country at the close of the
past week continued steady, without any particular acti-
vity, but the reduced stocks of dealers evidently causing a
more general disposition to increase them. Here, we had
on Saturday an improved demand for Flour, and rather
more money was realized, upon a fair amount of transac-
tions ; yesterday, however, the trade was again more
quiet. Considerable further quantities of rain have fallen
since Friday, which, at length, with a change of wind, have
given way to frost, but some time must yet elapse before
the land can be brought into a fit state for planting
Wheat, and we apprehend that much of what was origi-
nally intended for that grain will be applied, in the spring,
to other culture. Our imports have been increased to a
fair extent since Friday in Wheat and Flour from abroad ;
there is also a tolerable fresh supply of Oats. and a large
quantity of Oatmeal from Ireland, the latter being an
accumulation of many weeks, through vessels being de-
tained by stress of weather.
There was a very quiet market this morning, but the
few transactions in Wheat and Flour were at fully the prices
of last Tuesday. In other articles there was no alteration.

CLERICAL OBITUARY OF 1852.—During the year
which has just ended no fewer than 291 clergymen have
died, and thereby caused the transference, in the course of
that period, of ecclesiastical revenues to the amount of
4101,419. Of these 291 clergymen who died last rear,
eeveral were pluralists, holding in some cases two or
three, and even four different appointments ; so that we
may.reekon the number of distinct benefices at about 350,
and, as the whole is said to be worth .£101,419, it will be
seen that the average value of each of these benefices or
appointments is within a fraction of £3OO per annum.
