WooL.—The anticipated short supply, for the
want of labour, from our Australian Colonies sub-
sides on every account which reaches us ; the influx
of emigration from all quarters creates more abun-
dant labour, and it is now confidently anticipated
there will be a full average amount brought forward
at the next series of public sales in London, which
is expected to come off in May. During the past
week we have had a tolerable amount of business
doing in this market, considering the lightness of
stock and the very small amount of Imports, which
fall considerably short of the demand, viz., 266
Bales Irish, 13 Portugal, and 131 from the Medi-
terranean :ports : there is scarcely any description
coming to the market but finds ready sale at very
satisfactory prices, particularly low useful wools,
suitable for combing purposes, such as Egyptian,
Bosnia, Scopia, Oporto, &c. Stocks of English
and Irish very meagre ; of the latter the country
is almost cleared : good farmers' parcels of one-
third Hog are now worth 21s. per stone; Skin, little
offering, and prices have still an upward tendency.
IRON.—There has been very little doing, and no
changes worthy of note. Scotch Pigs were quoted
to•day, at Glasgow, at 535. 6d.

A FIRE broke out on Sunday afternoon, about two
o'clock, in the cabin of the ship Asia, lying in the San-
don Dock. It was extinguished before much damage
had been caused.—Soon after five p.m., a fire broke out
on the premises of Mr. Ganiscwthryth, out-fitter, Great
Howard-street, bit t way speedily subdued by the fire,

MURDERS IN LIVERPOOL.

On the last day of February, John Maskell, a searna?l,
aged 35 years, and another seaman, named Charles Wil-
liams, quarrelled in Roshottom's concert-room, Waterloo.
road ; on the following. day Williams was noticed looking
for his opponent at Steward's public-house, Denison-
street, and on being asked what he was doing, he answered
that he was looking for a Dutchman whom he was going
to knife. Shortly after this Williams called a little lad,
who earns a livelihood by blacking shoes in the neigh-
bourhood, and told him if lie wished to follow him be
would soon see a bit of fun. lie then went over to the
footpath, stooped down, and sharpened his jack-knife on
the edge of the curbstone. The unfortunate Maskell and
two companions left Steward's house about this time,
and were passing down the street, when a companion of
Williams's, known as " Big Scottie," went over to
Maskell and struck him a blow on the face. A struggle
ensued, in the course of which Williams se;zed Maskell
with his right hand, holding his open knife in his left,
with the intent to strike his opponent, but could not do
so, lest he might stike his companion. Williams, how-
ever, subsequently turned shortly round, and struck
Maskell a back-handed blow with the knife, which entered
the thick part of his thigh. The wounded man was con-
veyed to the Norther❑ Hospital, where he died on
Tuesday. Williams was taken into custody immediately
after the blow had been struck. The wound was an in-
cised one, five inches in depth ; the larger veins of the
thigh had been divided by the blow, and the wound was
the cause of death. On Thursday an inquest was held
before the borough coroner. A verdict of " wilful
murder" was returned against Williams, who was commit-
ted for trial at the assizes now being. held.—On Thursday
an inquest was likewise held by Mr. Curry, the borough
coroner, on the body of a new-born female child, found
dead in Lodge-lane, Kirkdale. The child had died from
haemorrhage and exposure to cold. A verdict of " wilful
murder against some person unknown" was returned.

Leith for Port Philip on the 19th of March, and has

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THIS DAY.
During the week ending yesterday we have received into
this port, coastw ise and from Ireland, very little Grain,
and of Oatmeal less than usual of late. From abroad the
fresh arrivals of -Wheat, chiefly from the south of Europe
and Egypt, are also but moderate ' • while from France and
America we have to note a further liberal supply of Flour;
and from the United States, France, and Constantinople,
a fair quantity of Indian Corn. The exports of erain
within the same period are not excessive, but of Flour
rather large, including 4,140 barrels, shipped to the Brazils.
The market this morning attained considerable steadi-
ness for all dcscriptions of grain, and there was a tolerably
fair demand, at the prices of this day week. Flour, how-
ever, being in large supply, rather hung in value. •

THE CHILD'S DREAM.

"Oh, I have had a dream, mother,
So beautiful and strange;
Would that I could sleep on, mother,
And that dream never change!"

"What bast thou dreamed. dearest one?
Thy look is bright and wild;
Thy mother's ear is ready
To listen to her child."

"I dreamed I lay asleep, mother,
Beneath an orange tree,
When a white bird came and sang, mother,
So sweetly unto me;

"Though it woke me with its warbling,
Its notes were soft and low,
And it bid me rise and follow,
Wherever it might go.

4, it led me on and on, mother,
Through groves and realms of light,
Until it came to one, mother,
Which dazzled—'twas so bright.

"As, tremblingly, I entered,
An angel-form drew near,
And bade me welcome thither,
Nor pain nor sorrow fear.

"I know not aught was there, mot' er,
I only felt 'twas bliss,
And joined that white bird's song, mother,
0, canst thou read me this?"

"Yes, dearest, to thy mother
Such happiness is given—
The Holy Spirit was that bird,
That grove of light was Heaven!"
