LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 20,
No differente has occurred this week in the duties on any
description of grain, whether Foreign or Colonial.
We are now ten days without an arrival from abroad, with
the exception of 43 barrels Flour; and limited as the supplies
coastwise and from Ireland have been of late, those received
into this port during the last few days are even smaller than
usual, as will be observed from our import list below: still, a
continuance of moderate weather must increase them to some
extent, and in anticipation of this our millers and dealers
having refrained as much as possible from purchasing, the
trade generally has presented an inactive appearance since our
last, without, however, any perceptible change in prices,
though the tendency has certainly been to rather less firmness
than was prevalent before.

The present scanty imports not bolding out sufficient
attraction to either local or country buyers, we have to report
an uncommonly limited attendance at our Corn Exchange
to-day, and an excessively dull lingering sale for every
article of the trade without exception : calculating
however, upon a revived demand on arrival of the vessels
detained by the late stormy weather, holders continued to
adhere steadily to the general currency stated in our circular
of Tuesday ; and in the meantime, our quotations accord-
ingly appear to stand, in all respects, nominally unvariecl.

)OMESTI(

Ous to the opening of the railways in the north, a
letter posted in Aberdeen would reach Hull on the second
day, at 12 o'clock ; now, a letter posted there at three
o'clock in, the afternoon, does not reach Hull until IC
o'clock in the morning of the third Packet.

The Birm-ingbam Railway Directors have b

by the sharelMiders to construct the line from Peterbo rang'
to Blisworth at a cost of £500,000. The estimate is, that al

the expense of £lO,OOO to £12,000 per ye

are to be issued to carry out the project.
IMPORTANT LAWSUIT.—We understand that proceedings
are about to be taken to try the question whether the trustees
of the Biagrave property are not bound to renew lives in the
]eases granted by them. As about one-fourth of the town
is held on this tenure, and the lessees have for the last ten

years tacitly waved their claims to renewal, the subject ex
cites great interest, as it involves property to a very large
amount.—Berkshire Chronicle.

THE LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY

Last evening the Liverpool Philharmonic Society gave an
undress concert in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution.
The body of the room, and the lower gallery, although
tolerably will filled, did not present that gay appearance
that it doubtless will on the occasions of dress concerts being
given, but there were at least 800 persons present. This fine
hall, if we may so term it, is admirably adapted to musical
entertainments ; in every part of it the slightest sound may
be heard—not a note is lost. In the upper gallery the effect
is very fine, and had we not the fact before our eyes of the
number of performers, we should have put down the strength
of the orchestra at double the number than it actually was.
The notes appeared to come pealing up in one combined
sound, producing a magical and grand effect; this was parti-
cularly noticeable in the portions of the music where the
efforts of the vocal and instrumental performers were com-
bined. Mr. William Sudlow conducted most ably. Mr.
Henry Aldridge, as a leader, we have had frequently oppor-
tunities of praising; his steady hand, his precision, and ex-
cellent knowledge of music, conduce to render him a most
efficient and valuable member of this excellent society.
The first part of the concert opened with Kalliwoode's
Overture. This was followed by selections from Haydn's
masterly composition " The Creation ;" the best portion of
which was sung by Miss Hammond,—" The marvellous
'work behold amazed ;" the chorus of this (as indeed were all
the chorusses) was admirably done, reflecting great credit
upon the members of the society. Misses Swain sang very
pleasingly the sweet duet, " 0, lovely peace."
The second part commenced with Auber's overture to
Cheval de Bronze; it was excellently played, and elicited
loud cheers at the close. Haydn's quartett for two violins,
tenor, and violoncello, was charmingly executed ; in this
Mr. Aldridge distinguished himself—the bass was also well
played. The effect in the upper gallery was very fine, the
sound appeared to amalgamate and proceed from one instru-
ment. Bishop's delightful glee, " The Chough and Crow,"
was encored ; it was excellently sang. The solo parts by
Miss Hammond, Miss Aldridge, and Mr. Wearing. The
chorus was splendidly executed. The rest of the programme
consisted of—

Glee.—" Fair Flora decks," Messrs. Case, H. Sudlow.
and Wearing.
Glee.—" Tho' he be now a Grey Friar," Misses Swain and
Aldridge. Messrs. Lewis, Hetherington, and Palmer. Bishop.
Chorus.—" Happy, Happy."
Trio.—" The Flocks shall leave the Mountains," Misses
Swain and Mr. Atkinson Ads and Galatea.
Chorus.—" Galatea, dry thy tears" Ads and Galatea:
This concert appeared to give unmixed delight to all
present; those who were absent really lost a great treat.

i OPENING OF THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.

The Lower School of the Collegiate Institution was opened
yesterday morning, with the most promising tokens of suc-
cess. A larger number of pupils presented themselves for
admission than were expected ; the exact figures we have not
been able to obtain. James Cox, Esq., 8.A., of Trinity
College, Dublin, is the head master of this department, a
gentleman whose zeal and qualifications eminently fit him for
the situation
The

Middle School will be opened on Monday next. From
the number of pupils already entered, for this department,
the Middle School promises to be very large. The Upper
School will commence on Monday, the 13th of February.
We are exceedingly gratified to observe the spirit with which
this noble institution continues to be sunnnrred_ Thic: ;.

proved by the manner in which a number ot Itsmoters
have come forward to increase their donations. Forpro instance,
Mr. Gladstone has increased his donation of £750 to £1000;
Mr. Edmund Molyneux, (Chairman of the Education Com-
mittee of the Town Council,) from £lOO to £1000; Mr. Jas.
Lawrence from £250 to £1000; Mr. Josias Booker from
£750 to £lOOO ; Mr. William Shand from £lOO to £250 ;
Mr. Semi. Holme from £l5O to £250, and many others
whose disinterested Munificence will be properly appreciated.
The total amount of donations is, we understand, in round
numbers, £23,000, whilst, to complete the Institution in all
its parts, about £12,000 more will be required, making an ag-
gregate of £35,000. In closing this brief notice we may ob-
serve that presents of books, sculpture, and other works of
art, will, doubtless, be very serviceable in- forwarding the
objects contemplated by the establishment of this splendid
institution.

MANCHEVER CORN EXCHANGE, JAr 21

During the last week the trade has relapsed into its former in-
animate state, and although supplies are small,. the baysiness of the
week has been of a very limited tharacter,, at prices scarcely so
good as those of our last report. The state of the Liverpool and
Wakefield markets has been much the same. At our Corn Ex-
change this morning, the hu,inesi doing is confined to retail sales,
for the supply of present wants. Fine Malt is is per load higher,
but with this exception, we may remark that the turn of prices is
in favour of the buyer, as regards each article. There is however
no disposition to press sales, and on the whole we do not see rea-
son to alter the quotations of our last.

The question which political, diplomatical, and all thinking

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 20

We have had rather more inquiry for Cotton to-day, and
the trade show more disposition to purchase, at the reduced
prices of new American descriptions : in all 4000 to 5000
bales have been sold.

The weekly sale amount to 21,190 bales, of which 3,500
are on speculation account. Prices generally Bd. to id. per
lb. lower this week, particularly for new Boweds.

COTTON MARKET, JANUARY 23.
The retrograde movement in prices has brought more buyers
into our market, and comparatively more business has been done,
although at extremely low prices. On Saturday 4000 bales, and
to-day the same quantity, and the market N freely supplied.
Buying is confined chiefly to a few consnruers. who seem dis-
posed to.stock themselves for some time to come with the present
range of good Cotton.

COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT.
The Trade have continued to buy with great caution, and to a
moderate extent; and as holders have shown an increased desire
to effect sales of the recent arrivals, prices have given way id to
id per lb, more particularly in the fair and middling qualities of new
American. Brazil are fully id per lb lower in the last fortnight.
East India continue in fair request, but have declined id per lb.
Speculators have taken 3500 American, and Exporters 350 American
and 200 Surat

THE EMBROIDRESS AT MIDNIGHT

BY MIS. JAMES GRAY, LATE MISS M. A. BROY

She plies her needle till the lamp
Is waxing pale and dim ;
She hears the watchman's heavy tramp,
And she must watch like him :
Her hands are dry, her forehead damp,
Her dark eyes faintly swim.

Look on her work!—here blossom flowers,
The lily and the rose,
Bright as the gems of summer hours,
But not to die like those ;
Here, fadeless as in Eden's bowers,
For ever they repose.

Once, maiden, thou wast fresh and fair
As those sweet flowers of thine;
Now, shut from sunny light and air,
How canst thou choose but pine ?
Neglected flows thy raven hair,
Like the uncultured vine.

Look on her work !—no common mind
Arranged that glowing group :
Wild wreaths the stately roses bind,
Sweet bells above them droop :
Ye almost see the sportive wind
Parting the graceful troop I

THE ACCOUIcTS

The accounts for the past year were then read by the Trea-
surer, Mr. R. Houghton, and passed, and the several resolu-
tions adopted, for which see the advertisement in another
column. We are, however, sorry to observe that they exhi-
bited a considerable falling off in the receipts, as compared
with former years ; but, we hope, the returning commercial
prosperity will bring increase to the funds of a charity which
deserves so well of the public.
On the items of salaries being read,
Mr. J. H. TURNER said, in his opinion, it was much
better to do away with gratuities, and give the masters and
mistresses salaries commensurate with the duties they had
to perform.

A conversation ensued, the majority differing from the
view which Mr. Turner took of the subject of gratuities. Ulti-
mately, that gentleman withdrew a resolution hethad moved
respecting them ; the chairman observing, that it might, per-
haps, be advisable to let well alone.

THE LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY

Last evening the Liverpool Philharmonic Society gave an
undress concert in the theatre of the Collegiate Institution.
The body of the room, and the lower gallery, although
tolerably well filled, did not present that gay appearance
that it doubtless will on the occasions of dress concerts being
given, but there were at least 800 persons present. This fine
hall, if we may so term it, is admirably adapted to musical
entertainments ; in every part of it the slightest sound may
be heard—not a note is lost. In the upper gallery the effect
is very fine, and had we not the fact before our eyes of the
number of performers, we should have put down the strength
of the orchestra at double the number than it actually was.
The notes appeared to come pealing up in one combined
sound, producing a magical and grand effect; this was parti-
cularly noticeable in the portions of the music where the
efforts of the vocal and instrumental performers were com-
bined. Mr. William Sudlow conducted most ably. Mr.
Henry Aldridge, as a leader, we have bad frequently oppor-
tunities of praising; his steady hand, his precision, and ex-
cellent knowledge of music, conduce to render him a most
efficient and valuable member of this excellent society.

The first part of the concert opened with Kalliwoode's
Overture. This was followed by selections from Haydn's
masterly composition " The Creation ;" the best portion of
which was sung by Miss Hammond,—" The marvellous
work behold amazed ;" the chorus of this (as indeed were all
the chorusses) was admirably done, reflecting great credit
upon the members of the society. Misses Swain sang very
pleasingly the sweet duet, " 0, 'lovely peace."
The second part commenced with Auber's overture to
Cheval de Bronze; it was excellently played, and elicited
loud cheers at the close. Haydn's quartett for two violins,
tenor, and violoncello, was charmingly executed ; in this
Mr. Aldridge distinguished himself—the bass was also well
played. The effect in the upper gallery was very fine, the
sound appeared to amalgamate and proceed from one instru-
ment. Bishop's delightful glee, " The Chough and Crow,"
was encored ; it was excellently sang. The solo parts by
Miss Hammond, Miss Aldridge, and Mr. Wearing. The
chorus was splendidly executed. The rest of the programme
consisted of—

Glee.—" Fair Flora decks," Messrs. Case, H. &dim,/
and Wearing. .Danby,

Tho' he be now a Grey Friar," Misses Swain and
Aldridge. Messrs. Lewis, Hetherington, and Palmer. Bishop.
Chorus.—" Happy, Happy." Ads and Galatea.
Trio.—" The Flocks shall leave the Mountains," Misses
Swain and Mr. Atkinson Ads and Galatea.
Chorus.—" Galatea, dry thy tears" Acis and Galatea:
This concert appeared to give unmixed delight to all
present; those who were absent really lost a great treat.
