LIVERPOOL CORN

MARKET.—Tius DAY.

There has been a continuance of steadiness on our mar-
ket since the close of the week, but no active transactions
have been resumed in any branch of the trade. Those of
the interior have participated in the decline previously
experienced in London and Liverpool, and continued in-
feriority of condition has, besides, contributed to sssist
the depression. In Ireland, an equivalent reduction is
also quoted, but in that country there are evident symp-
toms of an improving demand, more especially for the
better classes of Wheat and Indian Corn, the latter be-
ginning to move more readily into consumption, from the
return of seasonable weather permitting the labouring
population to obtain more general employment, and a
good consumptive sale appears to be anticipated.
The arrivals for the week are pretty large of Foreign
Wheat and Flour; coastwise they are limited, as also
from Ireland, with the exception of Oats and Oatmeal ;
the exports are to a fair extent, amongst which are 2,381
loads of Oatmeal to Australia.

The accumulation of Wheat arrivals which have taken
Waal at the carious importing markets during the last
fortnight (a repetition of which cannot be expected at
least for a considerable time), has been less pressed for
sale than buyers anticipated ; and, though reaction can
hardly be said to have taken effect, by an amendment of
prices the tone of the trade is evidently amended • and
without further immediate large supplies from abroad,
and, at the same time, lessening deliveries from the
growers, there will probably arise a more general confi-
dence, on the part of millers, to go into stock. The cha-
racter of tile season for Spring Wheat sowing will this
year be looked to with considerable anxiety ; and it re-
mains to be experienced what proportion of the land left
unplanted in the autumn will yet, even under favourable
circumstances, be applied to this particular Grain, or di-
verted to other culture; so far, little progress has been
practicable in agricultural operations.
We have a good attendance of the trade at our market
this morning, more general disposition to purchase, and
the tendency of prices rather towards improvement; but
this account. is taken too early in the day to admit of a
detailed report of the trade being given.

DANGEROUS DOMESTIC.—A child about nine months
old was recently left alone in a room, when it was attacked
by a domesticated ferret, which inflicted a number of
severe wounds on its neck, and about its throat. Its re-
covery is not, as yet, a matter of certainty.—John-o' -
Groat Journal.

STRANGE ACCIDENT.—During the fierce gale on Wed-
nesday week, a woman named Stewart, about 24 years of
age, when walking in the Lawnmarket, Edinburgh, was
blown with great violence against a lamp-post, and
severely injured. She died on Sunday in the infirmary,
from the injuries she received.

DEATH CF GREAT GRAND-CHILDREN OF BLTRNS.—We
find the following in the Dumfries Courier :—" Died, at
sea, on board the ship Chance, from Liverpool to Port
Philip, on the 7th September last, Arabella Ann ; on the
Bth September, Robert Burns ; on the 18th September,
Arthur Vincent, the only children of Mr. Berkeley W.
Hutchinson, surgeon, government medical officer of the
Chance, and great grand-children of Robert Burns." Mrs.
Hutchinson is the daughter of Major James Glencairn
Burns, and was educated in Dumfries under the care of
her grandmother, "Bonnie Jea:)."
