LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,—Tins DAY.
The arrivals of English and Irish produce into this port
since Tuesday last are trivial. From America, the north
and south of Europe, and Egypt, however, we have to
note a good supply of Wheat; from the former and ports
in the Mediterranean, a few moderate imports of Barley,
Beans, and Maize, and from the United States and Trieste
13,386 barrels and 1,727 sacks of Flour.

There was a good attendance of country buyers at this
morning's market, and a fair demand for Wheat at the
prices of Friday last. Flour was held for more money,
owing to the advices from America, but holders did not
succeed in obtaining the advance. There was a good
demand for the few parcels of Indian Corn on hand.
Oats and Oatmeal were easier to buy. In other articles
no alteration.

A LADY'S DILEMMA.—In looking over the " Corre-
spondence" of some of our more fashionable papers, it
will be perceived that most of the " Answers" relate to
complaints on the part of the fairer half of creation, re-
specting the ravages which atmospheric influence makes
with the complexion. In lieu of bloom and beauty they
expatiate on a long train of personal disfigurations in the
shape of pimples, tan, freckles, &c.—eruptive horrors, all
And what is a lady to do in this dilemma; She has her
bane : where is she to look for her antidote ? Why, it is
"before her" in Rowlands' Kalydor—a mild, soothing
extirpator of all impurities of the siiin ; prepared from the
choicest exotics of a balsamic nature ; utterly free from
mineral substances ; harmless in its components ; grateful
in its effects, It neutralizes atmospheric extremes, and
promotes the healthy action of the microscopic vessels ;

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS have performed a
most extraordinary cure of an inflammation in the side.
Extract of a letter from Mr. F. Arnott, of Breahouse,
Lothian-road, Edinburgh, dated 29th April, 1851 :—" To
Professor Holloway,—Sir,—For more than twenty years
my wife suffered severely from an inflammation in the
side, for which she was blistered and bled repeatedly, and
applied other remedies, but without any good effect. It
was then resolved that your Pills and Ointment should
have a trial, and after using them for about three weeks a
cure was established. Four years have since elapsed, but
there has been no recurrence of her complaint."
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—" For upwards of
nine years, (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of Winchmore
I Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of this
excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted
with headache and indigestion ; but a friend having in-
duced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now in-
form you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and dur-
ing that long period of time. I have taken them in pre-
ference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness
of saying that I never had a better state of health, which
I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add,
that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it." In any case where an
aperient medicine is required, they need only be tried to
be universally adopted. Sold by all medicine vendors,

STRANGE DELUSION. —AI the Bow-street Police-
office, London, a few days ago, a tall, gentlemanly-
looking man, who described himself as a Major Bond, of
the 2d Life-guards, and wore moustaches, was charged
with stealing part of a meat pie from the larder of the
Union Club, Trafalgar-square. It appeared, from the
statement of his brother, that he was a clerk in the Bank
of England, and had been on leave of absence for the last
month, chiefly on account of his state of mind. One of
the delusions under which he laboured was that he had
discovered an extraordinary kind of fish sauce. When
taken to the police-station he produced a bottle of sauce,
which he stated was his own invention. and for which he
was endeavouring to get an order at the club. He stated
that the pie was his own, and continued eating it, so that
a very small portion of the stolen property remained for
identification. On Mr. Henry telling him that he would
remand him for a few days, to make enquiries about his
Mends, the prisoner demanded the remainder of his pie,
and £5 for the damage done to his coat by the lamp-
cleaner at the club, in taking him into custody.
BARBAROUS MURDER.—OnSunday morning last week,
a brutal murder was committed at the Rectory-house at
Bacton, a secluded village, about six miles from Stow-
market, Suffolk. The Rectory-house is in the occupation
of the Rev. Mr. Barker, upwards of eighty years of age.
The establishment consisted of a housekeeper, named
Maria Steggall, upwards of seventy years of age. and a
housemaid. Mr. Barker left his residence about half-
past ten to proceed to church, and was shortly after
followed by his housemaid, leaving the housekeeper at
home in her usual good health. The tev. gentleman
after service returned home, but not finding his house-
keeper in the hall, called out loudly for her by name ; re-
ceiving no answer, he went into the kitchen, where he
saw her lying in a pool of blood. Mr. Barker shrieking
out, " Oh, Susan, Susan, your mistress is murdered 1"
brought the housemaid to the kitchen, who was so
alarmed that she ran out of the house. Her cries brought-
three countrymen to her assistance, who discovered that
although the skull of the housekeeper had been broken in
three places, she still breathed. Her clothes were much
disordered, showing evidently that she had struggled with
her murderer, and she died in about an hour after she,
was discovered. No other reason can be given for the
murder than the hope of plunder, for three sovereigns and
five shillings, as well as some things of trifling value, had
been abstracted from the box belonfing to the housemaid,
which stood in her bedroom upstairs. Other articles of
property are also missing.

qualities have met with ant
almost universal acknowledgment. This being k
certain disreputable parties, they have commenced otwonse?l
to the public a base imitation of it ; but we are gratified to
observe from the London papers that Mr. Wotherspoon,
the manufacturer of the Glenfield Patent Starch, has ob-
tained injunctions in the Court of Chancery against those
parties, which in all probability will put an end to the
fraud. The Glenfield Patent Starch cannot be too
strongly recommended, and every lady who wishes to have
her laces and other fine articles of dress beautifully and
elegantly finished, and gentlemen who prefer having finely
and comfortably dressed shirts, will do well to see that
their laundresses make use of this excellent starch. The
Queen, Prince Albert, and the other members of the
Royal Family, hare the finest of their goods finished with
