LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THIs DAY.
Exclusive of a fair quantity of Oatmeal, the receipts of
English and Irish produce into this port during the past
week, still form a very scanty supply ; and those of Grain
fresh in from abroad are also but moderate, including
merely of Wheat, chiefly from the American States, and
partly from Canada and the Baltic, 8,448 qrs. ; of Indian
Corn, 1,600 qrs. from Ibraila ; and of Beans, 2,635 qrs.
from Egypt ; whereas, of Flour, the import is rather
liberal, amounting to 22,782 barrels of States and Cana-
dian, and of Spanish 7,102 sacks.

There was a very good attendance of country millers
and dealers at this day's market ; but, owing to the sub-
dued tone of the Mark-lane reports, they were not inclined
to purchase, except at a reduction in price. Holders, how-
ever, were generally firm, and business was consequently
slack, the few transactions effected being at a decline of id
per 701bs on Wheat, and 6d per barrel on Flour from the
current rates of this day week. For Oats and Oatmeal
there was a better demand at our previous quotations.
Indian Corn was dull, without change in value. Barley
and Malt without alteration. Beans and Peas were scarce,
and firm at previous rates.

CHOLERA IN LivEupooL.—Since last night, six new
cases have been received at the Hospital, five of which
were from among the foreign emigrants, and one, a very
severe case, was that of an Irishman. One death has also
occurred since last night.
DEATH OF M. AsAGo.—This well known savan died
in Paris, on Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock.
ALIEN OF FlRE.—About mid-day a fire was discovered
in Magee's marine store, in Bath-street, which at first
sight presented rather a threatening appearance. By
dint of well-directed exertions, however, the fire was pre-
vented from spreading, and was speedily extinguished.
