LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 26.

Since— Tuesday last the imports of Grain. Flour, and Oatmeal
from Ireland and Coastways, have again been very small ; and of
Wheat, Flour, and Barley, from Foreign ports, they have been
much more moderate ; the two former articles are chiefly going
into bond for the present; on the latter, duty is paid as it arrives,
for home use.
The demand during the past week has not been very active, the
millers and dealers having been purchasers very sparingly, and
only for their immediate wants; but the holders of Wheat, gene-
rally, have felt more confider ce, there has been some demand for
Ireland, and last week's prices of this, and of every article in the
corn trade have been fully supported here and in our country
markets. _ . .

The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports,
since Friday last, is a decrease of Is 6d per quarter on Oats, and no
change is anticipated next Friday ;—some few sales have been
made of Wheat, in bond, at prices as if free, deducting the duty ;
--Flour, in bond, at 25s a 25s lid to 26s in small quantities for ex-
port, and of Oats, in bond, at 3s 8d to 3s yd per 45Ibs. At This
Day's Market there was a fair attendance of town and country
millers and dealers, who bought of Wheat more freely and to a
moderate extent, at a reduction, in many instances, of about Is per
quarter, which the decline in London, yesterday, enabled them to
do: Oats were also a trifle lower, and all other articles were but
dull, at about last quotations.

WARDENSHIP OF MANCHESTER.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in avowing himself opposed to the eccle-
siastical duties and revenues bill, said that one ground on
which the bill had been opposed was, that it placed the
establishment of cathedrals on an insecure and precarious
foundation, and only prepared the way for more extensive
spoliation, and he feared that this was the danger which was
really to be apprehended ; for he did not believe that any
cathedral institution was secure, whether it consisted of
twelve prebends or only two, unless the patronage connected
with it was exercised with fidelity. He should be the last
man to complain of the government employing its power and
influence in favour of those who concurred in its political
opinions ; but there was an appointment which had been
made within the last few weeks to which he must advert—
he meant the appointment to the wardenship of Manchester.
He thought the hon. member for Kilkenny was justified in
saying that ministers did not go far enough, if, when they
suppressed half the dignities of the church, they retained,
with regard to the rest, the system of abuse which had been
acted upon in former times. Of the gentleman who had
received the appointment to which he had alluded, he had no
wish to speak in terms of disrespect; he was a poet and a
scholar ; but poetry and scholarship were not precisely what
were required in order to perform the duties of warden of the
ate church of Manchester, which was, in
_fact, the

.n church of Manchester, that was to say, of 200,000
mls, who resorted daily to it for baptism, marriage, and
The government ought to have been glad to take the
unity of appointing to such a situation a person who
have comprehended a position invested with a respon-
f this important character. What had been really
Why, that a gentleman had been appointed whose
distinctions, whatever they might be, were not distinctions
earned in the service of the church, and who, moreover, was
said to hold another charge of an important character in the
diocese of York, consisting of 2,000 souls, and having an in-
come annexed to it of X 1,500. He (Mr. Gladstone) thought
the noble lord, the secretary for the colonies, had shown so
much anxiety to render cathedral and collegiate establish-
ments conducive to the welfare of the church, that he did
not ascribe to the noble lord the responsibility of this ap-
pointment to an important office of a strictly parochial
character. -

the case

Lord J. RUSSELL said, that with regard to the preferment
which bad been alluded to by the hon. member opposite (Mr.
Gladstone), he (Lord J. Russell) was not acquainted with the
gentleman on whom it was conferred, having never seen that
Itleman in his life; but he could not, as the hon. gentle-
seemed to expect him to do, disavow all responsibility
e appointment ; for it had been intimated to him, that
3pointment was proposed to be made, and, as he knew
m to it, he had not made any.

NEW SOUTH WALES

Sydney papers to the 3d of March mention that Sir George
Gibbs, the Governor, was introducing " Normanbyism," as
it was there called, into the colony; that is, granting free
pardon and letting criminals loose on society who had been
duly tried and convicted by jury. - . .

These papers in the shape of extracts from South Austra-
lian journals and annotations contain certain passages which
may be usefully extracted here for the information, if needed,
of the jobbing people in the Adelphi and their dupes most
concerned. There is no occasion for comment as what is
here found is no more after all than a repetition of what has
been urged at various times respecting that colony.
"The thing is a whig job—the colony is a bubble which
will burst. We have said so often, and we repeat it now.
The bubble colony pretends to stand before the English
people a specimen of all that's bright and beautiful in the
theories of colonisation !—of all that is free and beneficial in
the annals of population and in the relations of commerce.
The consequence is, that many have committed, and many
more may commit themselves, with all their wordly wealth,
to those distant shores, to meet only with—disappointment.
It may be said of planting a colony, that ' the man who sows
an ear of corn where only rank weeds had flourished before,
had done more than the mightiest conqueror to benefit man-
kind ;' but, as we have already said, there must be no forcing
—the colony, as well as the corn, must ripen by natural
means. But, with respect to South Australia, there already
seem misgivings about a public debt. It is said that the
government, commercially speaking, is in a state of insol-
vency—that it neither does, nor can pay its way. It is said
to be dependent on the sale of bills to meet its daily neces-
sities. Will those bills be honoured with cash when they
become due ? If not, which does appear likely, public credit
must sustain a shock. The bills will be thrown back upon
hand ; and then how unfortunate will be the condition of
tradesmen who may happen to hold them ? Already a depre-
ciation in the value of property has taken place—there exists
a conviction in the minds of all persons interested in the sub-
ject that the state of things at South Australia is any thing
but sound. All, all is " bubble." The government is in a
state of trepidation, and does not know which way to look

SYRIA

Private letters from Malta contain some further particulars
relative to Alexandria. The last expedition to Syria was of
24 vessels of war, each carrying 20,000 charges of gunpowder,
with provisions for five months. They were accompanied
by 18 transport ships loaded with provisions and ammunition.
The number of men who attended this expedition was
15,400. The cost is estimated at 50,000 taleris. Abbas
Pacha, grandson to the Viceroy, who is to be generalissimo
of the expedition, has been furnished with 1000 purses in
money, and provisions to the value of 15,000 piasters. Many
other vessels are destined for Syria, and no more than the
fleet of Constantinople and about four Egyptian vessels will
remain in the port of Alexandria. A Bedouin chief of Upper
Egypt has been presented to the Viceroy, who decorated him
with a vestment of honour, and appointed him head of the
Bedouins, with the office of furnishing 6000 Arab horsemen,
who were to go to Syria. The Viceroy requested the English
and French consuls to order their agents in Syria to have no-
thing to do with the insurrection, as he had learned that the
Christians of Lebanon had revolted and had set up the French
flag. The French consul wrote, it is said, to Syria to that
effect, but at the same time warned the Viceroy that France
was the protectress of Catholicism in the East and of the
convents of Lebanon, and that he would do well not to inter-
fere with them. The Russian consul, as well as the English,
is said to favour the escape from the fleet of the Turks, who
are anxious to return to their own country, and even to pay
their passage.
In Syria there is as much activity as in Egypt. Soliman
Pacha was in Seyda with 5000 infantry and 1000 cavalry, be-
sides three regiments at Acre ready to act at his order.
Mehemet Pacha of Haleb was advancing towards Zaleh with
8000 men, where 5000 mountaineers were to join him. These
mountaineers from Sichem are bitter enemies of the people of
Lebanon. At present Lebanon is inhabited by the descend-
ants of idolaters who took refuge there from Syrian cities
when persecuted by the Roman Emperors, who had become
Christians. Their neighbours are the Maronites, who are all
Christians, descended from persons who fled from the perse-
cutions of the Saracens. These two nations have a good un-
derstanding with each other. Intelligence from Arabia shows
that the Egyptian troops had retired from Yemen to lljedda.
. .

A letter from Beyrout states that the insurgents, who are
at the very gates of that city, are daily on the increase. They
demand, as a condition of peace, that no higher taxes shall
be levied than under the dominion of the Porte, that they
shall not be liable to the conscription, and, above all, that the
soldiers who have quitted the Egyptian Hag and sought re-
fuge with them shall not be claimed back. They further in-
sist that these requests, if granted, shall be confirmed by the
European powers. _

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JULY 23

Our Butter market is without animation ; but we can note no
alteration in prices. Pickled Butter is a freer sale at 90s. Bcef is
scarce, and fully supported in price. Pork comes forward more
abundantly, and we think may be had upon easier terms. Bacon
has become a brisk sale, and expected to rule higher.
