LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tnrs DA.Y.
The past week closed with more or less of decline in the
that
value of Wheat in all the markets of the kingdom, while
of spring corn has been generally well supported,
and in some cases rather exceeded. The large arrivals off'
the coast from the Black Sea, with a considerable import
of Wheat from the Baltic, and fresh arrivals in large
mtitv, c:liefly in Flour, across the Atlantic, are evi-
dently in excess of the immediate wants of the trade : the
farmers' deliveries being, at the same time, beyond the aver.
age of many previous weeks, though forming a very meagre
quantity as compared with former seasons at this period. Under such circumstances, prices have yielded but little; Many of the ships at calling ports have found destinations,
and, with comparatively light stocks in the hands of eon.
Rimers in all directions, it may not be unreasonable to
look for a large demand meeting a large supply. It
is not expected that receipts from the Black Sea or
Baltic can be presently repeated to any 'extensive
amount, and some time may elapse before we are
again so abundantly supplied from America, the pre-
sent being an accumulation kept out by a long course of
easterly winds. The weather these few days has been
More favourable for the country, a good deal of rain
having fallen in all directions, which will greatly benefit
the spring-sown crops.
The business here has been quiet since Friday. and
without disposition to force sales, rather lower rates
would have been taken for wheat, flour, and Indian corn.
The market to-day was well attended, and there was a
good consumptive demand for wheat and flour at Friday's
Prices. Indian corn was fully 2s. per quarter lower. In
other articles a moderate business doing without altera-
tion in prices.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH..)

THE WAR.
The Times has received, from its Vienna correspondent,
the following despatch, containing as he says, " The Rus.
gian report of the bombardment of 'Odessa :"—The English
and French admirals demanded the surrender of the Rus.
Can ships in the port of Odessa. This being refused, the
bombardment began from eighteen ships. A small part
of the city was destroyed. An attempt to land eighteen
hundred men failed. Three steamers are said to be much
damaged.
The Times feels some regret that the first blow in the
War should have fallen upon a commercial city, rather
than a military or naval port ; but the Russian authorities
.._.llt Odessa are to blame, for having drawn down this cala-
mity on their fellow-citizens, by an outrage on a flag of truce.
With respect to the details of the bombardment, the Timea
awaits a more trustworthy report than that which has pro-
bably been transmitted to Vienna through Russian sources.
BILISTRIA, APRIL 25. -The bombardment has produced
no effect. The Russians are expected to attack on the
Ist of May, with 30,000 men, who will cross •the river
under cover of seventeen heavy batteries. The passage
of the river at Oltenitza is expected at the same time.
Onsove, APRIL 28.—Sixteen thousand Turks have gone
gown the stream from Kalafat towards Rahova.
MALTA, AIL haarried, and left
Oti the 25th.PR The SpiriLorddion, aßaglan Greekship, v
laden with
knnpowder, has been seized here. 550 artillerymen, 19
Officers, and 537 horses had reached Malta from England
Pn the 26th : 20 horses had died on the passage. Lodg.
logs for 5,000 French troops were being prepared at Malta.
ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 22.- Business almost entirely
tspended. Exchange 344 d. to 34d. Weather warm,
and very fine. Ice expected to speedily disappear. Great
preparations are being made, in case of an attack, which
• kerns to be much dreaded.
1 4 Tinder date of Copenhagen, April 29, the Daily Newt
;AM " The small-pox broke out, whilst at Kioge Bay, on
board the James Watt. Vaccine matter was furnished
fun Copenhagen. The ship is of course isolated."
The Times trusts to learn that the admirals are in a con-
'; dition to open the navigation of the Danube to at least the
stballer steamers of the fleets, the command of the river
?Ping one of the most essential conditions of success, and
the Times suggests an increase of our small steam craft
for the navigation of shallow water, both for this service
kid hi the Baltic.

(From the Second Edition of the Times.)
The Journal de St. Petersburg of the 23rd contains a
Proclamation from the Emperor to his people, in which
lie represents the war against England and France as one
Undertaken in defence of the orthodox faith.
England and France have thrown off' the mask and
revealed their real object, which is, to weaken Russia and
deprive her of her powerful position in Europe. Russia
Will tight for the Christian faith in defence, of her co.
religionists, oppressed by their merciless enemies.
At Warsaw one million roubles in paper had been
lamed.

Prussia has forbidden privateers to enter her harbours.
A private telegraphic despatch, received from Odessa by
an eminent Greek firm, and dated the 26th ult., states
that the whole of the combined fleet took its departure on
the morning of that day.
(Prom Second Edition of the Daily News.)
nu, TIIESDAT.—The Moniteur of this day pub-
iles a telegraphic despatch from Vienna of the 30th
'it., containing official news of the bombardment of
(kiessa on the 23rd ult., by nine vessels of the combined
fleet. The cannonade had lasted ten hours, and continued
been the despatch left. One of the Russian batteries had
n completely destroyed ; and several Russian ships
which were moored in the harbour were sunk.
After the evacuation of Little Wallachia by the Rus-
-1743. the Turkish troops had taken possession of three
'Portant points in front of Kalafat, and marched on
14Nova for the purpose of at once occupying it. The
Cheek of the Russians in the Dobrudscha is confirmed
; but the details, and exact place where it occurred,
"re not known.
Silistria had been most vigorously attacked, but had
tealeted with success. The Russian losses were already
considerable.
