Our private letters from Alexandria come down to the 29th
ult. On the 25th Captain Fisher, of the Asia, announced to
the consul-general of Holland, that he had received instruc-
tions from Admiral Stopford to postpone the blockade of the
harbour of Alexandria until the 20th of November, for the
purpose of permitting vessels in ballast to enter, and allow-
ing the merchants of neutral nations to export their goods
and merchandise. _ _

Information of this accident was conveyd to London, and
the mail train, which should have left Euston-square at half-
past eight was detained till a quarter-past nine, in order to
afford time for the line to be cleared. When the train, how-
ever, arrived at Harlow, it was again detained for an hour
and three quarters, the clearing of the rails occupying that
time. A gentleman who was a passenger by it, and from
whom we have have received this information. states that
whilst the train was waiting, the second man, who had not
been extricated before, was released, his body found crushed
to such a degree that it was impossible to distinguish his
features.

In consequence of this accident the mail to this town was
four hours beyond its ordinary time.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 10.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 8- Sons.)
During the past week the imports of Grain from Ireland, Coast-
ways, and from Foreign Parts, and the demand, have been equally
limited and Moderate, with little or no variation in last quoted
prices, excepting in some descriptions of Wheat, on which a small
reduction has been submitted to here, and in all our surrounding
markets.
The weather, though reported favourably in the south, has been
very rainy here and to the northward for the last two weeks, and
unfavourable for securing the Potato crops and for Wheat sowing,
in which very little progress has yet been made.
The only alteration in the duties on Graiu from Foreign Ports
since Friday last is an increase of Is 6d per qr. on Oats and Rye.
Some parcels of New York Flour have been sold at 24s to 24s 6d
per barrel, in bond for export, but many imports hold at 255 to 26s
and fine Wheat in bond at 6s to 6s 3d per 701 b.
At this day's market we have had a very thin attendance, and in
consequence of the dullness and decline in Mark-lane, sales have
been effected to a very limited extent at a small reduction of Id to
2d per 701 b on Wheat, and id per 451 b on Oats ; all other Grain
participated in this depression excepting superfine sweet Flour,
which is now becoming rather scarce, and fully supported last
week's rates.
