CHURCH EXTENSION,

The following is the motion to he submitted to the House
of Commons by Sir Robert Harry Inglis:—
" That an humble address be presented to her Majesty,
praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to take
into consideration the deficiency which exists in the number
of places of worship belonging to the Established Church,
when compared with the increased and increasing population
of the country, the inadequate provision therein for the ac-
commodation of the poorer classes in large towns, and the in-
sufficient endowment thereof in other places, as such facts
have been severally set forth in the reports of the late Eccle-
siastical Commissioners ; to assure her Majesty, that this
house is deeply impressed with a just sense of the many bless-
ings which this country, by the favour of Divine Providence,
has long enjoyed, and with the conviction that the religious
and moral habits of the people are the most sure and firm
foundation of national prosperity ; to state to her Majesty the
opinion of this house, that no altered distribution of the
revenues of the Established Church could remove the exist-
ing and augmenting evil, arising from the notorious fact, that
an addition of more than six million souls has been made to
the population of England and Wales since the commence-
ment of the present century, and that the rate of this increase
is rapidly progressive ; that the grants made by the wisdom
of parliament, on the recommendation of the Crown, in 1818
and 1824, have been inadequate to supply the national wants ;
and that, though private and local liberality has been largely
manifested in aid of particular districts, the greatest wants
exist where there are the least means to meet and relieve
them ; to assure her Majesty that this house, feeling that God
has entrusted to this nation unexampled resources, is satis-
fied, that it is the duty of the government to employ an ade-
quate portion of the wealth of the nation to relieve the spiri-
tual destitution of large masses of the people, by whose la-
bour that wealth has been enlarged ; and humbly to represent
to her Majesty, that this house will cheerfully make good
such measures as her Majesty may be pleased to recommend,
in order to provide for her people in England and Wales
further and full means of religious worship and instruction in
the Established Church."

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--This DAY.
Independent of the arrivals stated in our import note be-
low, comprising those only from Tuesday last to the close of
the. week, we have a tolerable number of vessels in subse-
quently with foreign Wheat and Flour ;the particulars of
which, owing to the anniversary of the Queen's birth-day,
were not entered at the Custom-house in time to appear in
tais day's return.

At our Corn Exchange to-day there was a better attend-
ance of town and country millers than at either of the mar-
ii-ets last week; and as, for most kinds of foreign Wheat,
holders acceded to a decline of 2d per 70 lbs from the rates
of this day se'nuight, a moderately fair extent of business
was transacted in these descriptions.—lrish new Wheat, be-
log wanted for inferior purposes, maintained late prices ; but
English, being little noticed, was rather cheaper.
dome-made and Irish Flour, with scarcely an inquiry, re-
mained nominal in value. American free sold more readily
at au aoatement of 6d. per barrel; and of bonded States
Flour aoout 7000 to 8000 barrels have changed hands since
Friday, chiefly at 255. 6d., one superior lot only having
reached 265.

Of Foreign Barley, several thousand quarters have been
taken by speculative buyers, at 3s. 10d. to 4s. 9d. per 601bs. ;
and the stock of Indian Corn, which has been pretty well
cleared for Irish account, is 2s. to 3s. per quarter dearer.
Beans and Pease remain steady in value.

Oats, in Che sale of which very little progress could be
made. must be noted at least Id. per 45 lbs. lower; and
Oatmeal being exceedingly dull, was the turn cheaper.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE—YESTERDAY.
At our market this morning we had a fair show of English
Wheat fresh up, the condition of which was materially
affected by the damp state of the weather : the choicest sam-
ples could not have been bought at lower prices than on
this day se'nnight, but all inferior samples were fully is. to
2s. per qr. cheaper, and even at this abatement the business
transacted was by no means extensive, Of Foreign Wheat
the arrivals continue to be very large, all of which will,
in the meantime, be warehoused in bond. There was
scarcely anything doing in this grain, and prices under-
went no alteration. Flour of town manufacture, as well as
ship samples, were in slow request at our quotations. Barley
suited for grinding purposes met a fair steady sale at fully
last week's currency; in other kinds there was little passing.
We have to report a fair arrival of Oats during the past
week. Factors, however, were firm in their demands, and
the sales effected fully supported last Monday's rates. Beans
receded about is per quarter. In the value of Peas no alter-
ation occurred.
