and been bought up as high as 100 to 102 rs. per candy.

COLLISION AT SEA.-LOSS OF LIFE, AND A

VESSEL RUN DOWN.

The following is an extract from the log of the ship Richard
Anderson, Richard Bennett, master, forty-one days from
New Orleans bar, left the city 29th February, which arrived
at this port yesterday :
" March 12, at 3 30 a.m., Holyhead light in sight, distance
twelve miles, the Richard Anderson came in contact with the
ship Roman, Captain Wm. P. Salisbury from Savannah.
The latter ship sunk in two hours afterwards ; Capt. Salis-
bury died in one hour after he came on board of the Richard
Anderson ; his officers and crew are on board the Richard
Anderson. The Richard Anderson lost jibboom, head, cut-
water, stem, and larboard cathead. The anchor falling on
the ships decks, the chain had to be cut to clear the ships.
Both ships were standing upon the same tack ; the Roman
came up with the Richard Anderson, passed under our lee,
luffed up a-head of us, and tacked. It appears, from a state-
ment made by her officers and crew, that when the Roman came
head to wind, her fore braces or pins parted, which allowed
the head yards to run square and give the ship a stern board.
The moment the other ship was perceived to be in stays, our
helm was put hard up, but the ship would not pay off in time
to clear the other vessel. The Richard Anderson has
brought in the body of Captain Salisbury for interment."

LIVERPOOL MARKETS.—THis DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The anticipation of increased arrivals, with the change of
wind noticed in our circular of Tuesday last, has been fully
realized by large supplies of English, Irish, and Foreign
Grain into this port since that date ; comprising 12,523 qrs.
of Wheat, 3,466 qrs. Barley, 5,271 qrs. Malt, 9,838 qrs. Oats;
2,415 qrs. of Beans, with 16,947 sacks of Oatmeal, 3,265
sacks, and 3,760 barrels of Flour; which, giving a decided
check to all speculative feeling, the demand for any kind of
free produce, during the last two days, has been trivial.
Of foreign Wheat, however, several cargoes have been
contracted for here in the course of the week, at prices
free on board, to be shipped in the ports of the Baltic, for
Liverpool; and 2000 barrels of American Flour, in bond,
have again changed hands at 31s, being the extreme rate
obtainable.

The only alteration in duties for the ensuing week is an
advance upon Pease to lls. per quarter.
With exceedingly fine dry weather during the few last
weeks, the effects of the long wet season previously have, in
a great degree, disappeared ; and the land being now in excel-
lent order, spring sowing, under the most favourable circum-
stances, is progressing rapidly in all directions : our neigh-
bouring farmers, thus almost exclusively engaged in field la-
bour, furnish for the present a scanty supply only of Wheat,
which, although recently much improved in both quality and
condition, moves rather sparingly into consumption, without
any indication to rise in value.
Having a very slender attendance of buyers this morning,
and nearly all evincing a determination to wait further arri-
vals, it was extremely difficult to effect sales of Wheat be-
yond a very limited amount ; and in the few small transac-
tions which took place, an abatement of at least Id. to 2d.
per 701bs. from Tuesday's prices was conceded.
Flour likewise ruled extremely dull, and all kinds, both
free and in bond, were rather depressed in value.
Malting Barley and fine Malt, upon a moderate demand,
supported late prices, whilst grinding Barley may be consi-
dered 2d. per 601bs. cheaper. In Beans and Peas we have no
variation to note.

Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country dealers, were
nearly without inquiry, and had sales been practicable, some-
what lower terms must have been accepted.
