LIVERPOOL CORN EXCIIANGE,—This DAY

Without apparent animation in any branch of the Corn
trade after Thursday last; a few sales only occurred towards
the close of the week, on terms nearly corresponding with
the rates then stated ; but as the large arrivals recently into
Liverpool have reduced our prices of Wheat and Flour below
those in most other markets, holders expect that the atten-
tion of buyers will shortly be more generally attracted this
'way, and create at least a better demand than we have lat-
terly experienced. • _

. .
The duty on Beans is reduced to Bs. per qr., leaving that
on all other foreign produce unaltered.

Our supplies from Irelund•since this day se'nnight have
been generally rather light; but, including those in coastwise
and from abroad, the arrivals of Wheat and Barley are libe-
ral, with a moderate quantity of other Grain; and we have
again to report upwards of 25,000 barrels of Flour from the
American States. .

The preceding remarks having been confirmed by a tole-
rably numerous attendance of country millers, and a more
general inquiry for foreign Wheat at this day's market, sales
of good descriptions were effected to a fair extent at the
rates of Tuesday last, and the best samples of Mediterra-
nean nearly recovered the decline noted on Thursday ; while
in English or Irish the transactions were very unimpor-
tant, and such hardly maintained late prices.
Home made and L•ish Flour were very unsaleable, and
nominally cheaper, and States Flour was about Gd per bar-
rel lower, with a moderate demand from consumers : since
this day week a few thousand barrels in bond have changed
hands, at 27s to 27s Gd.

Barley and Malt, upon a limited demand, scarcely obtained
their former value. Beans were in fair request, and the turn
dearer. In Pease we have no change to note.
Oats, commanding more attention of late, were in mode-
rate request, and the best qualities rather exceeded our last
currency.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
There has not been any business, during the present day,
that requires observation. Cruiskeeu holds the premiership
for the May event ; but closely pressed by Sir Thomas Stan.
ley's horse. 7to 1 has been accepted on the latter in a very
good quarter; and Gilbert Gurney, at 10 to 1, has been, since
Tuesday, supported to a comiderable extent. 100 to 7is
yet offered versus any of Mr. Dawson's lot.
THE DERBY--8 to 1 has been the current offer on the
field. Launcelot was hacked at 7to 1, with Molyneux as " a
cock boat," by a gentleman who appears never to have
enough of the " yellow jacket."

LORD STANLEY'S REGISTRATION BILL.

(From the Dublin Evening Mail.)
Surely the eyes of the nation must by this time be opened
to the purely partisan character of the opposition given to
Lord Stanley's bill. If there were no press to record the
acts of a government or the declarations of public men, it
might be supposed that ministers and their allies had either
forgotten their former doings, or trusted to the forgetfulness
of the nation. But with these records staring them in the
face, what a front of impudence they must possess to come
before the country claiming credit for honesty, consistency,
disinterestedness, and every other whig virtue, yet voting
and speaking directly in the teeth of votes given and speeches
made by themselves on the selfsame subject, over and over
again, within the last five years.
In August, 1835, the House of Commons, led by these
very opponents of Lord Stanley's measure, passed a bill
identical with it, as far as it goes. That bill embodied all
that the present bill contains. It was unpalatable to the
conservative body solely, because, in addition to all this, it
contained other clauses which they deemed objectionable.
But on that occasion; and on three several occasions since,
when her Majesty's ministers have brought forward similar
measures, every clause contained in Lord Stanley's present
bill received the highest whig sanction,—ay, and what is
more, the highest radical, and the highest Popish sanction.
In particular, the yearly renewal, and the final appeal to the
judges, met with the warmest approbation of Mr. O'Connell.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APAIL 18.

During the last seven days we have had moderate arrivals of
Grain, Flour and Oatmeal coastwise and from lreland, but the im-
ports from abroad are large, comprising 11,300 qrs. r f Wheat, 7:so
qrs. of Oats, 5,300 qrs. of Barley, 9,360 qrs. of Peas, and 26,500
barrels of Flour ; the latter from the United States. Duties have
been paid upon 6,740 qrs. of Wheat, 4,100 qrs. of Barley, 310 qrs. of
Beans, and 5,410 brls. of Flour. By submitting to a decline of :Id
to 4d par bushel on the prices of this day se'nnight, holders of
Wheat were, on Tuesday last, enabled to make tolerably good pro-
gress in sales,—Oats and Oatmeal, too, met a fair demand, at about
previous rates.—Barley and Malt were each in limited request and
cheaper, the former by as to 3s, the latter is per imperial quarter.
Beans and ?ease maintained there previous value.—American
FlOur, duty paid, was retailing at 355 to 39s per barrel. Owing in
some degree, to the intervention of the holyday, there has since
been little business done in any article of the trade, and prices
generally remain unchanged. Two or three parcels of American
Flour, in bond, have been picked up at 27s 6d, but the generality
of holders are not sellers at less than ass per barrel.

otThred for sale, has caused a further advance of id ; Egyptian
also is in fair request, and readily commands id :p th more than
previous rates. 2000 bales of American have been taken on specu-
lation, and 2500 for export.

against the Neapolitan Government, higher prices have been de-
manded.—There has been rather more doing in Sumac than for

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was a better feeling in the market
yesterday; and though we cannot quote any positive advance
of prices, sales were more easy to effect at current rates.
People seem at length to have satisfied themselves that no
further decline in prices is to be apprehended ; and, there-
fore, they have ceased to talk about it, and supply the neces-
sities of their trade, whether in goods or yarns, without
hesitation.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 13.
We have had again a very dull market, and there seems to
be no prospect of any speedy improvement. The prices
offered for flannels to-day have been extremely low, and
many have kept their goods rather than submit to such a
reduction. Last week many of the manufacturers reduced
wages as much as 2s. or 2s. 6d. in the pound. To-day the
streets are extensively posted with an address of the woollen
weavers and spinners, calling upon masters, in the name of
common humanity,. not to reduce their already too scanty
wages, and appealing to the inhabitants for aid, or they shall
be compelled to resort to their respective townships, in order
'to preserve their wives and children from starvation.
H UDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 14.—There was a better
market to-day than for sonic weeks past, although prices
have not much improved ; but the prospect of a rise seems
to be more clear. One good symptom is in the system of
working to order, and orders are daily increasing ; conse-
quently, better prices for orders can he obtained. There
was a little more animation in the light fancy trade, which
has been unusually dull. heretofore. Prices in this department
are improving. Wools are on the advance. Oa the whole,
a decided change for the better has taken place ; and a hope
is entertained that trade will once more take a profitable
turn.---Manchester Guardian.

BGACKBURN.—We have no change to notice in the state
of our trade since the report of this day week, except an in-
creased inquiry for some descriptions of cloth for shipping,
which has not, however, been followed by any improvement
in prices ; yet with such animating prospects for harvest, we
do indulge the hope that business must be better ere long.—

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 16.
Stocks of prime Butter have run extremely low, and the prices of
such are high, say from 1005. to 105 s. for Belfast, &c. It is diftlenit
to quote the price of anything stale, fcr which there is no demand
whatever. Supplies of new Butter are now anxiously looked for,
and a brisk enquiry, at good prices, is anticipated. There is not
any thing new to report in the barrelled provision, or Bacon market

CORN MARKET, APRIL 16.

Of English, Irish and Foreign Grain collectively, the arrivals
since Tuesday, being the receipts of two days only, contain a fair
supply, with 12,365 barrels of States' Flour • which, including
17,524 up last week, amounts to nearly 35,000 barrels in nine days;
of sack Flour however, we have had very little to notice, and not
much Oatmeal fresh in to-day.
To-morrow being Good Friday our second market this week was
held to-day, which, being out 'of the usual course, very few either
town or country buyers appeared; and those seemingly deterred
by the present fine weather, showed very little inclination to pur-
chase : of good red Baltic Wheat, however, a few limited parcels
were sold at about 10s being nearly equal to the reduced rates of
Tuesday : but the general runs of Mediterranean were again 3d per
701 b cheaper, whilst of English and Irish Wheat or Flour, no sales
transpired to determine any actual change in prices. American
Flour, both free and in bond, being equally neglected to-day, each
may be considered the turn lower.

The same or nearly similar remarks appear to he applicable to al
other articles of the trade, which, in the absence of demand,
seemed to be rather depressed in value.

THE MERSEY IRON WORKS.

These works are close to the Potteries at their northern
termination. , New and extensive premises have also re-
cently been built on the east side of the road, with a tall
steam-engine chimney. Here malleable iron of the largest
dimensions is forged, for steam-engines and various other
purposes, The paddle-shafts of the huge new steam-ships
the President, the United States, and othe'r large vessels,
were turned out from these' works ; and some conception of
the magnitude of these several pieces of iron may be formed
from the fact that the round shaft of the President is 22
inches in diameter, and weighs about ten tons. The forges
are well worthy of inspection. The immense hissing white-
hot masses of iron are placed upon huge anvils, and beaten
by tremendous hammers, raised by steam power, and instan-
taneously dropped,—the blow, from their weight, causing a
perceptible vibration of the ground, even at a considerable
distance. The welding of comparatively minute rods and
pieces of iron, so as to form the compact whole of one of
these shafts, is an operation of much ingenuity ; and the fide-
lity of the workmanship, on which lives and property to a
large amount depend, is beyond all question.

THE EGERTON DOCK.

This is the most southerly dock of the town, and is
situated between the Pottery-works and the river. It is
the property of Lord F. Egerton; it is intended for the
reception of coasting vessels and flats, and is small but valu-
able. It is surroundea by excellent quays.
I have heard it stated that it is purposed to construct other
docks in this quarter, to which the business of the Duke's
Dock—which is to be sold to the Corporation of Liverpool,
so that their, line of docks may he made continuous from
north to south—is to be transferred. The project appears to
me to be•feasible and desirable; but I cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the rumour.

THE HARRINGTON DOCK
Is about the same size—being about 480 feet in length, and
80 feet in width. Here a number of flats find shelter, anti
ample .quay room. There is near it, on the south, a dry
dock, of 500 feet in length, and 30 in breadth.

From the Iron-works I sauntered northward, through
well-stocked timber-yards, towards the Brunswick Dock.
The site of what was some years ago " Jackson's Dam,"
the tidal water collected in which turned a large flour-mill,
and which was for many years the resort of bathers, is now
converted into timber-yards, graving-docks, &c.
