LIVERPOOL CORN

MARKET.—THIs DAY.

The trade has remained quiet here since the close of
the week, and the various markets of this country and
Ireland have also shown little animation, but without any
material change in value from previous rates, buyers
generally holding off as much as possible, in anticipation
of a free supply and good choice of samples. In the
meantime the growers' deliveries have been limited, and
may be expected to continue so for some time to come.
With the change of wind, a moderate quantity of Wheat
and Indian Corn has got up, and upwards of 22,000br15.
of Flour, from America. We have -also a good fresh
supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, but little else,
during the week, thence or coastwise. Very few arrivals
of either Wheat or Indian Corn are as yet reported at
calling ports.

'Mire was again a dull market this morning, and
though we do not quote any alteration in Wheat, lower
prices must have been submitted to, in order to effect
sales, the tendency being downwards. Flour was more
freely offered, but the demand cc as slack, and prices may
be quoted Gd. per barrel lower than on last Tuesday.
The same remark will apply to Oatmeal, which is fully
3d. :per load cheaper. Indian Corn on the spot, is dull
of sale. In other articles very little doing, at prices the
turn in favour of the buyer.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
At this morning's market the supply of Wheat from
Essex and Kent was only moderate, and there were but
few offers by rail from Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire.
The millers were rather eager buyers of the white Essex
Wheat, and the stands were cleared early, at fully last
Monday's prices, but the Kentish red Wheat scarcely sold
so readily. Foreign Wheat met rather an improved
demand.

The supply of English Barley was small, and last Mon-
day's rates were fully realised for all descriptions, as there
are no further arrivals of Foreign.
_ _ .

Malt continues in tolerably fair demand for the best
qualities.

- Oats moved off on quite as good terms as of late, and,
for some choice parcels, rather more money was obtained.
Beans were in improved demand, at full prices.
Flour, for best English marks, is in rather better de-
mand from the cold weather, and foreign, although
slightly checked by the arrivals of Spanish and French,
realizes about the same terms.

EXPOSITION QUADRILLE.—The performance of this
music last evening at the Philharmonic-hall was received
with rapturous applause.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.--The committee on the
Bridgnorth election have unseated Sir Robert Pigot, on
the ground of bribery. The committees on Clitheroe,
Cambridge, Chatham, and F, ome, are still sitting. The
new appointments are Waterford County, yesterday;
Wigton Burghs, Hull, and Derby, to-day ; Guildford,
Rye, and Huddersfield, to-morrow ; Tynemouth, 15th.
and Athlone, 16th of March.
DELIVERY OF LETTERS.—Mr. Banning, the post-
master of this town, has published a letter recommending
each person to have a letter-box on his front door, as the
most effectual means of expediting the delivery of letters.
A mere aperture in the door wculd be sufficient, particu-
larly if there is a piece of wire-work at the back, through
which the letters might be seen; and if secured with a
lock, there could be no doubt of the letters getting into
the proper hands.

PRomoTroN.—The Rev. D. James, M.A., the incum.
bent of St. Mary's, Kirkdale, has been elected Chief
Warden of Llandovery Coll..ge, rendered vacant by the
resignation of the Ven. Archdeacon Williams, from ill
health. There were eleven candidates, many of them of
the highest classical attainments, as well as possessing
superior literary and colloquial knowledge of the Welsh
lar ;nage, which, by the deed of endowment, is of primary
importance. The choice fell upon Mr. James, as being
not only an eminent classical scholar, and well versed in
Welsh literature, but a man of indomitable activity and
energy.

lIKALTn OF LIVERPOOL DURING 1852.—From the
annual report of the medical officer of the Board of

remittent fever, 35; thrush and chancre, 29 ; purpura, 10;
influenza, 7 ; scurvy, 3; ague, 3; diseases of the lungs,
(including 1486 from consumption,) 3380; gout, 5; car-

DR. W. M. FISHER, OF ST. GEORGE'S STREET, we
are glad to learn has yielded to the request of several
friends, and intends to repeat the splendid exhibition
passed off a few weeks ago, at the Collegiate Institution,
with so much eclat. He has consented to show his rich
and varied views in the Cornwallis-street schools, on
Tuesday evening, the 15th instant, so that those who,
from the crowded state of the collegiate were prevented
from getting in on the former occasion, will now have an
opportunity of seeing this most beautiful and attractive
exhibition. As usual, Dr. Fisher's efforts are again en.
listed in the cause of a charitable object, and are given
without any remuneration to himself, beyond the gratifi-
cation he derives in assisting to promote what is good.
We shall be able to announce particulars next week.
