LIVERPOOL MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, TUESDAY, APRIL 17.

The supplies of Flour and Oatmeal are large, but we have a
moderate import of Wheat and Oats.

To-day's market was not well attended by country millers,
The Wheat trade was dull, as the sales were chiefly confined to
our town's millers, who purchased sparingly at the prices of
last week.

There was not much done in Oats. The sales were made at
a small reduction on recent prices, and Oatmeal met a fair de•
wand at '253 3d per =lbs.

The Flour trade was extremely dull to make any progress in
sales. Lower prices must be taken for the superfine qualities.
The coarser descriptions met a fair sale at steady prices.
The imports of Butter.are 1,957 firkins; fine old is scarce and
readily commands our highest quotations; for the middling
qualities there is no fixed rate.

COTTON MARKET—THREE o'CLocx.
The market has been very flat to-day; the sales are only
1200 bags.

that much sensation has been created in Munich by the ap-
pearance of somnambulist in the 'streets, who has been several
times saved froni'destruction by the public. She is a lady Of

THE FORCE OF CoNsciimcc.—We copy from a recent num-
ber of a London Journal the following advertisement :—RESTI.
TION.—"A person who some years ago wished w evade a pro-
portion of the stamp duty on certain property, having, by the
grace of God, been convinced of the sin of so doing, is anxious
to make.all reparation to government in her power, and there-
fore remits 'the inclosed sum of £3l 4s. 6(1., being the full
amount of the former omission, and• the lawful interest due on'
the same." The above sum has been received at the stamp
office.—April 9, 1830.
