LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tais DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular)

Of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat together, t

arrivals into this port since Tuesday last contain a good sup -
ply, with a fair quantity of Malt coastwise and of Beans from
Egypt; whilst of Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal the imports of
the week are only moderate, and of Barley very inconsider-
able.

The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and 0
meal computed Ito re:nail-111in Liverpool on the 31st Ju
1841 :

In Bond.—Wheat 98,137, Barley 2,550, Oats 11,231, Rye
1,897, Beans 27,614, Pease: 4,726 quarters ; Flour 140,029

—Wheat 28,000, Barley 1,500, Oats 9,800, Rye —,
Beans 2,500, Pease 500 quarters ; Flour 18,300 barrels and
1,000 sacks ; Oatmeal 21,000 sacks.
Our Corn Exchange to-day was tolerably well attended by
town and country buyers ; and having but a limited show
good free Wheats on sale, all descriptions of English, Irish,
and Foreign, although not in lively demand, were dispose d
of to a moderate extent at the full improvement of Friday,
and in some cases 3d. to 4d. per 701bs. over last Tuesday's
currency was obtained. Of bonded Wheats further con-
siderable sales' continued to take place daily, and the advance
above stated was fully supportedlthis morning.
English and,lrish Flour must be noted ls. per sack, and
free barrel Flour ls. dearer than on this day se'nnight ; and
parcels under lock, being still in good request, readily com-
manded an amendment of Is. to ls. 6d. per barrel.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, attracting rather more
notice than of late, realized an advance of Is. per quarter
each ; and Oats, upon a short supply, maintained the pre-
ceding amendment. Oatmeal was also more readily saleable,
and 6d. per 2401b5. dearer.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, 3 P.m

The overland mail from India is not of a satisfactory na-
ture, and though we could not be wor:e than we have le ,n
for some time past, yet it has added to the stagnation ; we
have had scarcely any demand for Cotton to-day, and th 3
sales do not exceed, even if the reach 1,000 bales, at ye: ter-
day's prices.

BIRKENHEAD AND WOODSIDE

(From our Correspondent.)

PIGEON SHOOTING.—We understand that a sweepstakes
of .C 1 each will come off at Mr. Shakeshaft's, the Sportsman
Inn, Higher Tranmere, on Tuesday, the 24th inst. From
the names already entered, we have no doubt that it will
afford much amusement to the lovers of the sport. Should
any of our friends wish to enter their names, we advise them
to do so as early as possible, as we understand the list is
nearly filled up.
RACING EXTRAORDINARY.—On Tuesday last, the inha-
bitants of Birkenhead were highly delighted by witnessing a
novel and glorious race by the police-officers to catch a pig,
which had escaped from the safe custody of the keeper of
the pinfold. After performing various and sundry evolu-
tions, whereby the dignities of the officers were much sullied
by coming in contact with several commissioners' beds, the
animal succeeded in giving them the go-by, and arrived safe
at the domicile of his owner and trainer, Mr. Counsellor
Cross, who, after this wonderful feat, offered to back his pig
four miles across a fair sporting country against all the posse
coninsitatus in the township.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—Thomas Jones, boot and
shoemaker, Chapel-street, Birkenhead, retired to bed about
eleven o'clock on Thursday evening last, apparently in good
health. The following morning, between seven and eight
o'clock, his wife arose, and, while in the act of dressing
herself, discovered that her husband was a corpse! Medical
aid was immediately procured, but proved ineffectual. On
Saturday morning, an inquest was held at the house of Mr.
Harwood, Market Inn, Birkenhead, before F. Thomas, Esq.,
coroner for this division of the county ; when an intelligent
jury, who were summoned for the occasion, after a careful
investigation, returned a verdict of " Died from apoplexy,
caused by excessive drinking."
HoyLa KE.—A. number of highly respectable gentlemen
sat down to a most excellent dinner, provided at the house
of Mr. Robert Shaw, Punch Bowl Inn, to celebrate the re-
turn of Sir P. Egerton, Bart., and John Tollemache, Esq.,
as members for this division of the county ; and, after an
evening delightfully spent, the party separated, highly grati-
fied in having had an opportunity afforded them of giving
expression to their political sentiments.
