LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE—THIS DAY.
. The arrivals of the week contain a fair supply of Wheat and
Oats, with a good quantity of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland,
St
and a few limited parcels of grain coastwise. From the American
ates, the imports during the same time, consist chiefly of
fabout 4000 qrs. Wheat, and 14,000 barrels Flour ; whilst of other
oreign produce we have little to note beyond 1656 qrs. Beans
°!l' tations EgYpt, disposed of, ex ship, within the range of our quo-
. fhe week's exports of Indian Corn and Corn Meal to
Ireland, and of Flour coastwise, are to a fair extent.
At this day's market there was a good attendance of town
and country trade, and, generally speaking, there was a better
fNeeling displayed on the part of buyers. All kinds of good heat were in tolerable request, the best qualities on terms
fully as high as this day week, but general runs and all inferior
'qualities merely supported the receded rates of Friday.
American Flour, in which the sales were but moderate, re-
'ceded 6d. per barrel from the rates of this day week. Irish
Flour 15. per sack cheaper.
In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease we have very little varia-
tion to note.
Oatme
Oats were in moderate demand at the rates of Friday, and
al was dull at the decline then noted.
_ Indian Corn must be noted Is. per quarter, and Corn Meal
18. per barrel cheaper; which induced a tolerable sale for each

VARIETIES.
CONTRADICTION OF TERMS.—The word " fast " is as
great a contradiction as we have in the language The
Delaware was fast because the ice was immoveable, and
the ice then disappeared fast for the contrary reason—it
was loose. A clock is called fast when it is quicker than
time; but a man is desired to stand fast when he is de-
'fired to remain s ationary. People fast when they have
nothing to eat ; and eat fast, consequently, when oppor-
ttnity offers to eat.
PROFESSIONAL BREVITY.—When Mason was prepar-
ing the case of E. K. Avery, and had examined about 200
witnesses, somebody called to see him. The legal gentle-
man sent word that he was occupied, and could not be
interrupted. " But the man is a witness—a Methodist
tninister." " Call him up," said Mason. " Well, Sir,
can you testify ?" " I have had a vision ; two
angels have appeared to me, and told me that brother
14,2 is innocent." " Let them be summoned !" said
as lie resumed his work.—Boston Atheneum.

LATE M. ELMES.—A committee of Liverpool
(21e0rge,8.1., 1836 or 1837, advertised for designs for St.
"all, which was then intended to be a building
distinct
the 7,, and separate. This advertisement was cut out of
-"e Thnes and sent or handed to Mr. Elmes by one
of his friends, 'as being worth his notice. Mr. Elmes,
then very
h* •Young, took it over to Mr. Haydon, and asked
4.11.1.1.! he should send in a design. "By all means, my
y`;''r 'Goy, said Mr. Haydon ; " they are noble fellows. at
•Aver Pool. Send in a design, and, mind, let it combine
andeur with simplicity. None of your broken-up and
ttered abortions, but somethinggrand. " "Accordingly,"
said Mr. Elmes, " I set to work with a burning enthusiam,
and took my first sketch to a friend's house. It was
handed round and admired. Amongst the company was
a boy about four years and a half old. The sketch was
of course shown to the little fellow, who, looking for a
moment very gravely at it, threw it down, saying, ' Very
mom very good, indeed ; it's worth five hundred pounds.'
his, of course, was laughed at, but hailed as a lucky
omen." The sketch was finished, and in due time came
the welcome news, " victorious" with five hundred pounds. Some time after followed prizes for the Assize
Courts and the Collegiate Institution. St. George's- hall, the great work of the young architect's life, must be
finished by others ; but it will ever remain his own noble
monument. We understand that Mr. Elmes has left
his widow and child unprovided for. Commencing life
solely by his own means, his career has been all up-hill ;
and, perhaps, of all the learned professions, that of archi-
tecture is the worst paid : no expenditure appears to be
so grudgingly laid out as an architects commission. Mr.
Elmes' commission of five per cent. on this building was
restricted to £90,000; the expenditure will be about
£154,000. For the Collegiate Institution in this town he
obtained the premium of £250; but the directors claimed
ithe drawings, and, to save the commission, put them into
the hands of a clerk of works ; and Mr. Elrees, rather
than have his details murdered, furnished for nothing.—

ARCHDEACON HARE AND THE LATE JOHN STERLING.
--The following account by Archdeacon Hare, of his
Pastoral connexion and intercourse with Sterling, is
extracted from two interesting volumes just published,
entitled " Essays and Tales, by John Sterling ; with a
Memoir by J. C. Hare, M.A.," &c. :—" He came to me
at a time of heavy affliction, just after I had heard that
the brother, who had been the sharer of all my thoughts
s
and feeling from my childhood, had bid farewell to his
earthly life at Rome ; and thus he seemed given to me
to make up in some sort for him whom I had lost. Al-
intnoest daily did I look out at his usual hour for coming to
the'itd Watch his tall slender form walking rapidly across
Was`'"l ill front of my window, with the assurance that he
to caring to cheer and brighten, to rouse and stir me,
lath me up to some height of feeling, or down into some
.of thought. His lively spirit responding instanta-
....,ll3l3' to every impulse of nature or of art, his generous
behalf of whatever is noble and true, his scorn
meanness,liel
of all false pretences and conventional be-
... softened as it was by compassion for the victims of
rose besetting sins of a cultivated age, his never-flagging
impetuosity in pushing onward to some unattained oint
...Lciuty or of knowledge, along with his gentle, almost
affectionateness towards his former tutor,
rtrk; and oered my intercourse with him an unspeakable bless-
had time after time has it seemed to me that his visit
lun!been like a shower of rain, bringing down freshness
?rightness on a roadside hedge. By him, too, the
ir.e,pection of these our daily meetings was cherished till
.I.l.'l,last. In a letter to his eldest boy, who was at school,
Z1,11.t0 whom he used to write daily, about two months
tt!tiet re his death, after speaking of various flowers in his
.. ?l en, especially of some gum cistuses, he says " I
thinkl like them chiefly because I remember a large
bush of the kind, close to the greenhouse through which
ea be all Pawh ite ssed into Mr. Hare's libr The ground used to
it,
with the fallen flowers. I have so often stood
talking to him, and looking away over the Peven-
rllevel to the huge old Roman Castle, and the sea, and
n_ftevhey head beyond. The thought of the happy hours
so spent in talking with him is and always will be
