CLAPHAM'S EMPORIUM FOR ECONOMY AND

FASHION.
NO. 4. TARLTON-STREET,

FIRST DOOR FROM CHURCH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

HCLAPHAM begs to announce to his Friends and
• the public that he has combined the TAILOR-
ING with the WOOLEN DRAPERY BUSINESS, and
respectfully informs them that he has engaged a Foreman
of first-rate cutting celebrity, H. C., pledges himself that
he will not be wanting in dilligence to have every descrip-
tion of Clothing made in superior style, and to fit well.
H. C. has found from experience that it is a matter of
delicacy with many parties who may have Cloth, purchas-
ed elsewhere, to apply to Tailors who keep a Stock to
make up, without furnishing all materials ; but to obviate
that, he begs to assure Gentlemen feeling such delicacy,
that equal attention shall be paid to them, and at a mode-
rate scale of charges.

J. RUSSELL,
FASHIONABLE BOOT AND SHOE MAKER,
AO. 4, UPPER DUKE-STREET,
BEGS to return his sincere thanks to the Gentlemen of
Liverpool and the surrounding country for their
liberal patronage since be opened the above Establishment,
and their flattering testimony in favour of his improved
WATERPROOF CORK BOOT, which for comfort and
neatness has given the greatest satisfaction.
J. R. begs to call attention to his PEDESTRIAN
BUCKLE SHOE, which has hitherto been most univer-
sally approved of. Also, to his newly-invented LIGHT
WATERPROOF BOOT, which he warrants to resist
damp as if the sole of the Boot were made of Cork.
BOOTS and SHOES of every description made on the
improved plan, the Leather being prepared by himself
from a receipt furnished by an Italian Chemist.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 6.
The past week's business has been marked by some improve-
ment in demand, especially for Flour, the stock of which has
for some time pressed heavily upon the trade, and had a de.
pressed effect.
Influenced by the time of the year, and a general wish to
reduce their stocks, this demand was freely met by holders, at
prices somewhat lower even than those of last Saturday, and a
fair quantity changed hands.
In other articles rather more has been done, at former rates.
Supplies are monerate this week, both in Wakefield and
Liverpool.
The improving aspect of the Liverpool and Wakefield markets
has its e-ect upon ours to-day. Wheat is more saleable at
fully last week's rates ; and, in some instances, a small advance
is obtained. Flour has recovered from the depression which it
sustained at the beginning of the week, and is held firmly at
last Saturday's prices, with a moderate business doing. Oats
fully as dear : Meal sd per load higher; but for neither is there
any active enquiry. Fine Ma't as last quoted; but secondary
and inferior qualities are not saleable at any fair price. Beans
are worth fully last week's rates.

CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 4.

During the short interval since Tuesday, we have had no ar-
rivals of Wheat or Oats from any quarter, nor any Grain
whatever from Ireland ; the only receipts thence, within that
period, consisting of 660 loads of Oatmeal with 1669 sacks of
Flour; and, excepting a moderate quantity of Malt, we have
scarcely any thing to notice Coastwise; while the imports fresh
in from abroad are restricted merely to 1920 qrs of Egyptian
Beans from Malta, and 4001 barrels Flour from the American
States.

It is understood the duty on Foreign Wheat will be reduced
this week to 16s per qr, and on Flour to fs 7id per barrel.
Our market this morning being held out of the regular course,
and following so closely after that of Tuesday, we have had
very few buyers from the country to-day ; the trade for most
kinds of Wheat, however, assumed a more healthy appearance
for some weeks past , and the neighbouring millers, who are
generally low in stock, having bought more freely than of late,
several further purchases also aking place for Ireland, the
transactions on the whole, chiefly in duty-paid For ign, were
to a fair extent, and for all descriptions of this Grain our last
quotations were folly maintained. Flour likewise met an im-
proving demand, with a slight amendment in the value of all
good qualities.
Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease continued to move off very
sparingly on the terms last noted.
Oats, without any additional supply, sustained late prices,
but in the absence of country dealers, one or two cargoes only
were diSposed of to-day ; and Oatmeal, although in limited re-
quest, supported our last currency.

PRICES OF GRAIN.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-06-04

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 21

The duty on Foreign Barley has advanced this week to 7s,
and receded on Colonial Beans to is 6d per.quarter, previous to
which it is supposed the bulk of the former in this country has
been released from bond; upon all other produce the import
rates continued unvaried.

Besides the arrivals into this port, Coastwise and from Ire-
land since Tuesday. which, taken together are still very limited
in amount ; we have to note a fair supply of Wheat and Pease;
with a few lots of Barley, Beans and Flour from abroad ; and
though from the American States or Canada we have nothing
fresh in to-day, tolerably extensive imports of Wheat and Flour
from the latter source are anticipated in the course of June and
the succeeeing months of summer.

In consequence of the continued prevalence of dry weather,
the trade here from Tuesday until to-day, exhibited an in-
creased degree of stability, and upon a moderate scale of busi-
ness, the general range of prices, current in the early part of
the week, was steadily maintained. . . _

Upon a slender aitend mce only of country millers at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and no desire evinced by our local
dealers to purchase more than was needful to serve their im-
mediate purposes, the transactions in any description of Eng-
li Irish, or Fore-gn free Wheat progressed rather more slowly
than was expected ; but with unbated firmness on the part of
holders, the general rates of Tuesday last were fully sustained.
Horne manufactured and Irish Flour, was more saleable and the
turn dearer : whilst States and Canadian continued to meet a
very limited demand on the terms last noted.
Barley, Malt and Pease, upon an improved inquiry, fully sup-
ported late prices; and all sorts of free Beans were in fair re-
quest at a further advance of is per quarter.
Oats, continuing to command a moderate degree of attention,
retained the advance of Tuesday; and Oatmeal, in limited
sales to consumers, realised a slight amendment in value.
In additicn to the late extensive operations in Egyptian Beans
under lock, several further parcels have been taken again
to-day at 22s per 4901 b. for investment; but in other articles
either in bond or afloat, no sales have transpired.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 31.
A stoppage for repairs of the navigation below as prevented
vessels near at hand from being reported since Monday. Our
show of fresh Wheat is small, and the quantity of foreign upon
which duty has been paid at Hull and Goole this week is much
less than previously : the trade, consequently, assumes a greater
degree of firmness, and the rates of this day se'nnight are ob-
tained Barley is Is per quarter dearer. Oats and shellings
rather higher. Beans scarce, and bring an advance of fully Is

MARRIAGE-DAY,

" A bright sunshine of hope blazed upon me yesterday,
but the darkest ray of despair succeeded it. I return
thee, oh prince, thy promises, thy oaths; if love does not
make you mine, I scorn all other claims. I am extremely
wretched, but I must submit to inevitable destiny. How
that destiny changed at night, dare I tell ? Oh, my God
and my Lord, let me remember this awful day ; let me
remember the new, the dear duties it imposes on me.
At night my lover and my prince came ; then came a
clergyman. Oh day ever sacred to my memory ! oh mo-
ment that I must record with letters of gold! you are
written on the tablet of my heart: you have changed my
destiny ; this morning, wretched and forlorn ; this even-
ing, the happy wife of the most amiable, the most honour-
able among men. Teach me, oh Lord, to deserve the
favours you lavish upon me, and grant that I may ever
have reason to bless this day."
FROM LETTERS EXCHANGED AFTER MARRIAGE : LADY

AUGUSTA..

" My dearest and now really adored husband ! you are
but this moment gone—the sacred words 1 heard stilt vi-
brating in my ears—still reaching my heart. Oh, my
prince, my lover, and now indeed my husband! how I
bless the dear man who has made me yours. What a pre-
cious, what a holy ceremony ! how solemn the charges ;
bow dear,,and yet how awful. Do you feel happy, my
only love ? Tell me you do, that I may bless my destiny.
To be your wife is the summit of my wishes : I have at-
tained that summit; but if my loved, my adored husband
has one moment of regret, my happiness is fled, and
despair returns. But do I talk of despair when joy ought
to be my only theme—when it fills my whole soul ! Shall
I hear from you to-morrow morning, my only beloved ?
Will you write to your wife ? Will you tell her how you
have gotten home, and whether the coming out has given
you cold 1"

BRITISH HOLLANDS.
DOVOR DISTILLERY.

COLEMAN, POTTER, and GRANT beg to an-
nounce to the Inhabitants of Liverpool, and the
Public, that they have succeeded, after repeated trials, in
producing an article identical with the Foreign Hollands
of Schiedam, possessing its mellowness and aroma, with
a greater degree of purity. The public need hardly to be
informed that the extreme price, owing to the high duty
of 225. 10d. per gallon upon Foreign Hollands, has
always operated against its general use. This cause no
longer exists, as C., P., and G. are enabled to offer their
British Hollands, of the highest legal strength, at less
than half the cost of the Foreign, namely, 16s. per gallon,
or 365. per case, containing 12 bottles.
N.B.—The Trade supplied on liberal terms, and in
casks of all sizes.

THE COURT.

ROYAL MAGNIFICENCE.—It is said that the gold and
silver plate at Windsor Castle is valued at £2,000,000 ! A
single gold service of George IV. contains all the dishes
requisite to dine 130 guests.
The Duchess of Kent is expected to arrive in this coun-
try, from Switzerland, about the 20th or 21st instant, in
time fot the Queen's accouchement, which is set down for
the beginning of July.
A grand dinner was given on Wednesday evening last
at Buckingham Palace, to her Majesty the Queen-Dowa-
ger and the Noble Directors of the Concert of Ancient
Music. At a quarter-past eight o'clock, his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert (the Director for the evening, left
Buckingham Palace, accompanied by the Noble Directors,
for the Hanover-square Rooms. The Queen, accompa•
nied by the Queen-Dowager, the Duchess of Cambridge,
arid the remainder of the Royal party, left the palace soo❑
afterwards, for the Hanover-square Rooms, to honour the
performance of the concert with her presence.
THE DEBTS OF THE LATE DUKE OF SAXE COBURG
GOT/lA.—A paragraph has appeared in Galignani's Mes-
senger giving a direct contradiction to what it terms " the
stupid assertion that the late diminution in the expendi-
ture at the Palace was occasioned by the intention of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert to defray certain debts of
his late royal father." The paragraph proceeds to assert
that the late duke, so far from dying in debt, possessed
excellent property at his decease. Upon this subject,
painful as it may be to the illustrious consort of her Ma-
jesty, we have to state that the duke, at his decease, was
involved in liabilities to the amount of nearly half a mil-
lion of money ; and that the several branches of his fa-
mily are now devising every means in their power to raise
this sum before the next meeting of the German Diet.—
Britannia.

THE ROYAL POULTRY-YARD.—ThOSe residents at
Windsor
who are in the habit of taking an early morning
walk, to enjoy " the cool, the fragrant, and the silent
morn," in the splendid demense, proudly crowned by its
ancient castle, must have often seen two persons in plain
attire tripping lightly across that pleasant meadow called
" Datchet's Mead," in order to visit a farm at the ex-
tremity of the Home Park. These persons are her ma-
jesty and Prince Albert, pursuing their way to the dairy
and poultry-yard; and in their progress sporting with
their infants, who are either mounted on their piebald
ponies, or driving their well-trained goats in a phaeton.
It is impossible to witness the unaflected enjoyment of
the royal couple in this domestic excursion, unalloyed as
it is by any restraint of official etiquette, without feel-
ings of extreme pleasure, as a bright pattern to people of
the highest rank.—Farming for Ladies.

MARRIAGE-DAY.

" A bright sunshine of hope blazed upon me yesterday,
but the darkest ray of despair succeeded it. I return
thee, oh prince, thy promises, thy oaths; if love does not
make you mine, I scorn all other claims. I am extremely
wretched, but I must submit to inevitable destiny. How
that destiny changed at night, dare I tell ? Oh, my God
and my Lord, let me remember this awful day ; let me
remember the new, the dear duties it imposes on me.
At night my lover and my prince came ; then came a
clergyman. Oh day ever sacred to my memory ! oh mo-
ment that I must record with letters of gold ! you are
written on the tablet of my heart :'you have changed my
destiny ; this morning, wretched and forlorn ; this even-
ing, the happy wife of the most amiable, the most honour-
able among men. Teach me, oh Lord, to deserve the
favours you lavish upon rne, and grant that I may ever
have reason to bless this day."

FROM LETTERS EXCHANGED AFTER MARRIAGE: LADY

AVGUSTA.

" My dearest and now really adored husband ! you are
but this moment gone—the sacred words 1 heard still vi-
brating in my ears—still reaching my heart. Oh, my
prince, my lover, and now indeed my husband ! how I
bless the dear man who has made me yours. What a pre-
cious, what a holy ceremony ! how solemn the charges ;
bow dear, and yet how awful. Do you feel happy, my
only Jove ? Tell me you do, that I may bless my destiny.
To be your wife is the summit of my wishes : I have at-
tained that summit ; but if my loved, my adored husband
has one moment of regret, my happiness is fled, and
despair returns. But do I talk of despair when joy ought
to be my only theme—when it fills my whole soul ! Shall
I hear from you to-morrow morning, my only beloved ?
Will you write to your wife ? Will you tell her how you
have gotten home, and whether the coming out has given
you cold?"
