stand, are still in her. of course now useless.—Balbriggan

granted for the purpose by the lord of the manor, Sir Thos.

It may perhaps be remembered that in October last, a clerk
of Messrs. Grant and Hodgson, merchants, London, was
robbed of two £3OO Bank of England notes, and three other
smaller ones. The two former notes were traced to two men

and in an action brought respecting them a few days since
Messrs. Grant and Hodgson were victorious.

admit of it, and recommends the farmers to petition for a

SHIM RECKS.—CLOG ti ER HEAD, FEB. 23.—Three ves-

morning last, about eight o'clock. One of them was a
Scotch vessel, with eight men on board, and laden with coals ;
five of the men got into the punt, and made for Clogher Head,
and were saved by Lieutenant Thompson,

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEBRUARY 28.
From the cause noticed in the foregoing statement, our
import note below continues to exhibit an extremely•scanty
list of arrivals of every article, except Malt coastwise, and
Flour from Ireland, of which the supply of each is moderate.
Small as these are generally considered, however, they appear
to be fully equal to, or rather, in the present lingering state
of the trade, in many instances to exceed the demand ; the
millers and dealers, both here and in the neighbouring mar-
kets, still complaining of diminished consumption and more
than usual difficulty in making any effective progress in sales.
Thus at our Corn Exchange this morning, Wheat of all de-
scriptions continued to meet a very slow limited demand from a
few needy buyers only, all sorts of Foreign receding ld. to
2d. from the rates of last week, and English as well as Irish,
though actually scarce, were the turn cheaper.
Flour was in moderate request, prime qualities of Eng-
lish, Irish, and Foreign, commanding our previous quota-
tions.

Barley, of which a few parcels from the Southern counties
are in and near at hand, maintained former prices : and Malt,
though not readily saleable, was unaltered in value. Beans
and Pease continue in the same dull state as before, and
hardly supported our last currency.

Oats, of which only one or two lots of good mealing qua-
lity appeared today, were taken off sparingly, in retail quan-
tities merely at late prices. Oatmeal was partially rather
depressed in value, the best marks of Irish scarcely retain-
ing, and other kinds offering a little under our last currency.
