LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The arrivals into this port during the past week furnish
a moderate quantity of Wheat, a good supply of Oats,
and a few parcels of other produce, coastwise and from
Ireland ; those fresh in from the United States, Canada,
the Baltic, and Trieste, containing a fair supply of Wheat,
and from the two former sources upwards of 40,000
barrels of Flour, 2,525 quarters of Canadian Pease,
with a liberal import of Indian Corn, chiefly American,
and partly from Constantinople and Trieste, exclusive
of a cargo of Egyptian Beans, and 2814 sacks of Flour
from France; the exports during the same period being
rather inconsiderable.

There was a good attendance at our market this
morning, particularly of country buyers, and an active
I,u9ine94 urns done in 'Wheat and Flour, at an advance of
2d. per 701 b. on the former, and of fully 6d. per barrel on
the latter. For Oats and Oatmeal there was not much
inquiry. In other articles no alteration deserving of no-
tice, but all descriptions were held firmly.

DISTESSING OCCURRENCE.

A MAN SHOT, THIS MORNING, AT DOE PARK,

WOOLTON.

A most distressing accident occurred this morning, at
Doe Park, Woolton, the residence of Mr. J. B. Neilson,
of High-street, in this town, one of his servants having
shot another in mistake for a dog. We subjoin the
following particulars, as furnished to us by Mr. Neilson.
He says :
" My premises have been robbed twice, and, in conse-
quence, I have a watchman who goes round the premises
every night to protect the tools, &c.,belonging to the work-
men employed in my alterations. This watchman's name
is Frederick Guy, and the cowman's name, who also
attends to the poultry. is John Cume. Last night, James
Cume, the brother of John, came to Guy and said to him
that, as it was Woolton Wakes, there would be many
rough people about, so he would sit up to watch with
him. This was at 9 o'clock, and while they were speak-
ing John Clime came in and told Guy that he had a
duck just hatching in the plantation, near the gate, but
he should not like to lose it ; so he begged Guy to look
after it in the night, which Goy promised to do. The
two men were great friends. At five o'clock in the morn-
ing John came early to his work, and found his brother
James asleep in the saddle-room, and Fred Guy on the
look out. He awoke James, and asked him if Guy had
looked after his duck in the night. James said he did
not know, for he had fallen asleep and had not been
with Guy for some hours. John then said that
he would go and look after it himself, and without seeing
Guy to tell him, he went to do so. He crept into the
plantation, and finding that the duck had hatched her
young, he took off his cap, which he put on the ground,
went down on hishands and knees, took the old duck off the
nest, and began to take the young ones out of it, to put
into his cap, and carry up to the farm. Of course, while
he did this the old duck made a great noise, which Guy,
as he was walking round, heard, and thinking it was
something worrying John's duck, he went to the planta-
tions hurriedly, and just as he got near it he could indis-
tinctly see through the thick foliage of the trees, very low
down, a rough brown hairy thing, which he took for
a dog worrying the duck. This was poor John's head,
at which Guy fired without speaking, and killed the poor
fellow on the spot. John immediately called out Oh,
dear 'me and Guy, half mad, ran shouting out to
John's brother James; who at once ran to his assistance,
but all was over."
