LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 30.

The moderate arrivals, up to Friday last, have been con-
siderably augmented since, furnishing a good supply of
Grain and Flour, coastwise and from Ireland, with a fur-
ther liberal accession of Irish Oatmeal, as specified in our
statement below ; from abroad, however, we have nothing
to report beyond 176 ban els of Flour from the American
States, the imports from Canada having nearly, if not
wholly ceased for the winter.
Having very few country buyers at our Cr :a Exchange
to-day, and our home millers remaining decidedly inactive,
we have to report an extremely dull and lingering sale this
morning for all descriptions of English and Foreign free
Wheats, and a very limited demand for Irish, any of which
hardly sustained current rates of this day se'nnight.—
Several more cargoes of Foreign were eagerly offering to
arrive, but of these no further purchases transpired.
Flour of all denominations was equally difficult to sell
at our last quotations.
Barley, upon a slow demand, was unaltered in value ;
whilst Matt of prime quality was the turn dearer.
Beans and Pease, confined to small retail sales, barely
supported late prices.
Oats of superior quality were in moderate request for
mealing, on the terms of last week ; but in ordLiary kinds
very little business was transacted, and such were slightly
depressed in value.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 30.
There is a tremendous Tuesday's business going on at
'present, the extent cannot be correctly calculated, but it
will exceed 10,000 or 12,000 bales, at *d. per lb. advance
on yesterday's prices, and generally on Friday's quo-
tations, on all Cotton at sd. and downwards. Specula-
tors are monopolizing all.

COTTON MARKET, February 5.
After the unexampled excitement of last week, our market
appears unusually tame and quiet; the sales do not exceed
4000 bales, 5000 of them to the trade, who had made their pur-
chases ou rather better terms than in the early part of last week.
Speculators appear to be satisfied for the present, at the same
time there is a decided tone among holders.

LONDON CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 29.

The quantity of Wheat fresh up by land carriage samples
from the near counties was small this morning ; but, there
being no improvement in the condition, factors were unable to
establish any advance on previous terms. The best parcels sold
readily at the quotations of Monday last; but former rates were
not so freely paid for the secondary descriptions, of which
several runs remained undisposed of at the close of business.
There was rather an improved demand for duty-paid foreign
Wheat, still the transactions were by no means extensive, the
few country buyers who visited us refusing to give the terms
asked, and our own millers paying the same reluctantly; the
sales made were at quite as high prices as those current eight
days ago. The operations in bonded Wheat were unimportant,
and quotations remained nominally unaltered. Flour moved
off tardily ; but was no cheaper. 7 hough the display of Barley
samples was not so large as of late, the quantity on sale was
more than equal to the demand, and only the best malting
qualities commanded previous rates : distilling and grinding
sorts were not pressed, however, and could scarcely have been
bought cheaper than last werk. The retail business done in
Malt was at the prices of this day week. The plentiful arrival
of Irish Oats reported, afforded a lage show of samples. The
transactions were somewhat checked by the high pretensions
of sellers ; still the sales were not unimportant. English and
Scotch Corn excited less attention than Irish ; but neither kind
was cheaper. Beans and Peas hung heavily on hand, and
scarcely supported their previous value.

IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS.

JowiTT v. STUDHOLM.—In this case, the plaintiff was
the occupier of a public •house, called the Black Bull, in
larovvnlow-hill. and the defendant was a nubboai. in
Byrom-street. The action was brought to recover corn-
compensation for a false representation, alleged to have
been made by the defendant, as to the receipts of the
Black Bull, which had been let by him to the plaintiff.
From the facts of the case, which were stated at length
by Mr. Arnold, it appeared, that in February, 1843, a
negotiation was entered into between the parties with re-
spect to the house in question, and that the agreement
was to the effect that the sum of £350 was to be given to
the defendant for goodwill and fixtures, £l5O to be paid
down and the the remainder secured by warrant of attor-
ney. Toe rent of the house was to be £6O, and the de-
fendant stated, that the average receipts were from £2O
to £25 per week. The plaintiff took possession in April,
but notwithstanding the greatest vigilance, care, and
assiduity, was only able to realise about half the sum per
week, on an average, which had been mentioned by the
defendant. The first week, the receipts were £7 2s. ; the
second, £8 3s. ; the third, £8 ls ; the fourth, £8 10s. ;
the fifth. £Blos. ; and the sixth, £lO. They then improved
a little, but the largest amount received in any one week
during the first six months, was £ll 17s. 91d., and the
average for the same period, was about £lO. The receipts
did not cover the expenses. The average weekly sale of
spirits, was about £6, and ale, £4. There was scarcely
any wine sold at the establishment.

Itnei-eo }-Ignite-as-readily as we believe the sophis-
tical Alderman Evans.

Again, the Alderman says—

" The general trade of the port is as fairly accommo-
dated as it has ever been for many years, and the Albert
Dock and Basin will provide amply for any increase of
business which can reasonably be hoped for during many
years to come; but, should the proposed steam dock be
made at the north, three docks, the Coburg. Clarence,
and Trafalgar, now occupied by steamers,
will be given
up to sailing vessels, which will then have redundant
water space at the north, (for which they show a decided
preference,) unless it is rendered dear by increased rates,
the inevitable result of improvident expenditure of dock
resources." •

Now, the Albert Dock contains ten acres of water
space. The water space of the present docks is 108
acres. The addition is, therefore, 10 per cent ; and
this cannot be brought into use for two years from
the present time. The proposed north dock, how-
ever, is to throw open to sailing vessels the Coburg,
the Clarence and the Trafalgar, now occupied by
steamers ; and this addition to the present accom-
modation of the port is, in the eyes of Alderman
Evans, quite sufficient for all emergencies. But
what, pray, are the facts connected with the increase
of the dock requirements of our town ? Commerce
from the year 1800 ; and we find that in 1811 the
tonnage requiring accommodation is increased by
36 per cent; in 1821 the increase is more than 87
per cent ; in 1831 it is more than 254 per cent ; in
1841 it is more than 439 per cent The per cent-
age, therefore, according to the tabular statement
before us, has been doubled in 24 years, trebled in
30 years, and quadrupled in 40 years. But, most
extraordinary of all, it has been trebled within the
last 18 years t
How is it then, we ask Mr. Alderman Evans, that
we are now to stand still ? What is to interfere with
the further developement of the wants of our port ?
What is to enable us to carry on our business—our
increasing business—with the paltry 10 per cent ad-
ditional accommodation which the Albert Dock will
give us,—two years hence,—or even with the addi-
tional accommodation which will be afforded us by
the north docks, some 6 or 8 years hence Q He
would be a wise man indeed who could tell us ; and
Alderman Evans is not that man.

But come we to the giant bugbear, with which
Mr. Evans endeavours to " fright the town from its
propriety." Come we to the Alderman's "slight
sketch of the account current of the dock estate,"
which, by a great stretch of probability, on the cre-
dit side, he assumes to be permanent —a "credit side"
which has gone on increasing in the enormous ratio
shewn above ! This credit side he represents as
amounting last year to £216,461; and he says—

" Against this will appear
The Interest on £1,798,000, the present debt, as
it stands .. . .

Two of the said Shops, fronting Cl ghton-road, are in
the occupation elf Mr. Shaw and Miss Hollsnd ; and two
other Shops, fronting Argyle-street, are in the occu-
pation of Mr. Crone and Mr. Chapman. The situation
is exceedingly good, and being in proximity to the new
covered Market, renders this as eligible an investment
as any in this improving vicinity. The estimated yearly
value of the Premises is upwards of £l5O. If the above be
not sold in one Lot, the same will be divided and offered
in two Lots.

Lot 2.—A1l that valuable and extensive SHOP. MES-
SUAGE or DWELLING-HOUSE, and LAND, con-

street and Market-street, in Birkenhead aforesaid. The
Shop, fronting Argyle-street, is in the occupation of Mr.
Gibion. and the Workshop and other Premises In the
occupation of Mr. Ellis and others. The estimated
yearly value of the Premises is upwards of £9O. This
Property, from its immediate vicinity to Hamilton-square,
is likely to increase in value every year, and must always
command respectable tenants.
Lot 3.—A1l that Piece of valuable BUILDING LAND,
situate in Oliver-street, in Birkenhead, in the said county
of Chester, containing about 337 4-9ths superficial square
yards, adjoining on the south-east to two newly-erected

Work, work, stitch, stick,
You'd wonder how cheap we does 'em ;
But I think every gent as wears them si.irts
Shou'd have a pin stuck in his buzzum.

On the hearing of a civil bill case, at the Newry Quar.
ter Sessions, a witness for the defendant stated that the
plaintiff's mother was a witch ; " and," continued he,
" she is a raal witch ; for, on my oath, I saw her one
morning early, sitting at a well, in the form of a hare,
and I hunted her for better than two iriles, to her own
house, when she leaped iu through a pal.c of the window."

STATISTICS OF THE PRESENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.
—From the general election in July, 1841, to the month
of February, 1844, there have been no less than 69
changes in the representation, or more than one-tenth of
the number of members. Of these 23 have been un-
seated on petition—namely, 10 conservatives and 13 ra-
dicals ; 15 have died—namely, 7 conservatives and 8
radicals; 26 have retired—namely, 18 conser‘,l!:9,s and
8 radicals ; 16 conservatives have been returned in the
places of radicals, and 11 radicals in the places of conser-
vatives. The conservatives who succeed conservatives are
23 in number ; the radicals who fill the places of their
predecessors of the same politics are 12 in number. In
this list are included Tipperary and Sudbury, which are
both vacant and among the deaths, that of the late Sir F.
Burdett. The gain, on the whole, is five in favour of the
ministerial side of the house.—Standard.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-02-06

IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS.

JOWITT v. STUDEIOLM.—In this case, the plaintiff was
the occupier of a public house, called the Black Bull, in
Brownlow-hill, and the defendant was a publican in
Byrom-street. The action was brought to recover, com-
compensation for a false representation, alleged to have
been made by the defendant, as to the receipts of the
Black Bull, which had been let by him to the plaintiff.
From the facts of the case, which were stated at length
by Mr. Arnold, it appeared, that in February, 1843, a
negociation was entered into between the parties with re-
spect to the house in question, and that the agreement
was to the effect that the sum of £350 was to be given to
the defendant for goodwill and fixtures, £l5O to be paid
down and the the remainder secured by warrant of attor-
ney. Tire rent of the house was to be £6O. and the de-
fendant stated, that the average receipts were from £2O
to £25 per week. The plaintiff took possession in April,
but notwithstanding the greatest vigilance, care, and
assiduity, was only able to realise about half the sum per
week, on an average, which had been mentioned by the
defendant. The first week, the receipts were £7 2s. ; the
second, £8 3s. ; the third, £8 ls. ; the fourth, £8 10s. ;
the fifth, £Blos. ; and the sixth, £lO. They then improved
a little, but the largest amount received in any one week
during the first six months, was £ll 17s. 9 d., and the
average for the same period, was about £lO. The receipts
did not cover the expenses. The average weekly sale of
spirits, was about £6, and ale, £4. There was scarcely
any wine sold at the establishment.
