LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Aram 29,
Upon Foreign Wheat the duty is reduced to 275, ad. pet
quarter, on Flour to Hs, id, per barrel, and increased on
Pease to 245. 3d, per quarter, being the only change in the
import rates from those last noted.

Of English, Irish, and Foreign produce, the arrivals fresh
in for to-day are altogether inconsiderable, as will be ob-
served on reference to the particulars subjoined.
The New Corn Bill, requiring the royal assent, continues
to hold the trade in suspense, and tending to delay all active
business, no transactions, at all deserving remark, have oc-
curred during the intermediate period from onr report of
Tuesday last up to the present date.
The general character of the trade this morning was main-
ly a counterpart of that contained in the preceding report ;
all descriptions of free Wheats being very difficult to sell ;
even the best qualities scarcely retaining our last quotations;
whilst other kinds were the turn cheaper. English, Irish
and foreign duty paid Flour likewise continued to meet a
slow lingering sale, but without any material change in value.
The bonded_ market being equally dull, a few hundred bar.
rels of States Flour at 28s. per brl., and about 200 qrs. of
Ancona Wheat at 6s. Ild. per 701bs. on the spot, forming
the only transactions in this branch of the trade since
Tuesday.

Upon a limited supply of Barley at hand, that article, as
well as Malt, supported late prices.
Beans and Pease, attracting very little notice, barely main-
tained our last currency.

Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand,
were taken off very sparingly, and had sales been pressed,
rather lower terms must have been conceded.

HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY

The corn importation and a number of other bills received
the royal assent.

The Marquis of NORMANDY wished to know whether any
communication had been made with the Irish government
relative to the case of Mr. Biddulph, but withdrew his ques-
tion on the understanding that her Majesty's government
would give the subject every consideration which it required.
The Marquis of NORMANDY presented a petition from the
town council of the borough of Gateshead against the addi-
tional magistracy appointed to that place.
The LORD CHANCELLOR contended that the appointments
were perfectly correct, and said that most of the appointments
made by the late government were entirely political ones, and
had the effect of making the people, whose cases they had to
decide, believe that justice could not be impartially admi-
nistered when the magistrates were of one particular line of
politics.

The Marquis of NoRmANBY defended his conduct while
in office, and after some further discussion the subject was
dropped.

Lord PRUDHOE presented a petition against the income
tax.

The Earl of WINCHILSE A. presented a petition from the
eastern division of Kent, against the protection given to the
importation of foreign fruit.

The house then adjourned

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY

After the usual preliminary business, the house went into
committee on the Income Tax bill, and schedule D was pro-
posed, when
Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved as an amendment the omission
of the words in schedule D relative to a tax on industrial in-
come.
Mr. ROEBUCK thought the amendment would interfere
w;

iith one which he was about to propose—namely, that
' for and in respect of the annual profits or gains from any
profession, trade, or vocation there shall be levied annually
for every twenty shillings three-pence halfpenny."
After some conversation, Mr. Roebuck's amendment, was
allowed to take precedence.
The hon. and learned member for Bath then argued that it

was unjust to the last degree that the same amount of tax
should be laid on industrial income as on landed property,
and that if his amendment was rejected the sole odium of the
injustice would rest (as being the most powerful man of the
day) on Sir Robert Peel.

follows :—Re said it was a source of great exultation, on his

first visit to this country, to receive fi:orn them such an over-
powering welcome, such a gratifying compliment as the pre-
sent, the remembrance of which, he gratefully assured them,
could never be effaced from his mind. As a Canadian, it
had always been his proudest boast to be a British subject—
(cheers)—and to receive from so large an assemblage of those
who enjoyed the same distinction, so much kindness and

cordialiii, was as gratifying as it was unexpected. This eom-
pliment possessed additional value, in his estimation. as it
emanated from a society formed for the express purpose of

vote of his given in that capacity, as an earnest of the deep
affection he had ever cherished for the British crown, the
British constitution, and the British nation. (Loud cheers.)

feel the deepest in her prosperity. He had witnessed its gra-
dual development—he had seen the forest yielding to the in-

was natural to rejoice in the prosperity of his native country.
But whilst he was proud to call himself a Canadian, he could
not forget that he was the son of a British soldier—(cheers)—

HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY

The corn importation and a number of other bills received
the royal assent.
The Marquis of NORM AN BY wished to know whether any
communication had been made with the Irish government
relative to the case of Mr. Biddulph, but withdrew his ques-
tion on the understanding that her Majesty's government
would give the subject every consideration which it required.
The Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition from the
town council of the borough of Gateshead against the addi-
tional magistracy appointed to that place.
The LORE) CHANCELLOR contended that the appointments
were perfectly correct, and said that most of the appointments
made by the late government were entirely political ones, and
had the effect of making the people, whose cases they had to
decide, believe that justice could not be impartially admi-
nistered when the magistrates were of one particular line of
politics.
The Marquis of NORM ANBY defended his conduct while
in office, and after some further discussion the subject was
dropped.
Lord PRUDHOE presented a petition against the income
tax.

The Earl of WINOHILSEA presented a petition from the
eastern division of Kent, against the protection given to the
importation of foreign fruit.
The house then adjourned.

STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c,

After the speculative feeling which has pervaded our mar-
ket for Cotton during the past fortnight, the demand has
resumed its previous spiritless tone, without, however, any
material reduction of prices, except in the middling and
lower descriptions of American, which have given way id.
per lb. Holders, however, having been relieved materially
by the late brisk business, shew no disposition to press sales ;
and the market closed on Friday with a tolerably firm feel-
ing, the sales during the week amounting to 20,000 bales.
On Saturday 3,000 bales were sold, and yesterday 3,500, at
last week's prices.
We have little alteration to note in the Manchester goods
market. A fair business is doing, without, however, any ad-
vance in prices ; and the staple manufactures are still im-
moveable to any :extent which can relieve holders. We are
assured, however, that money is considerably easier than it
has been for some time past ; and manufacturers and mer-
chants only wait for the settlement of the pending measures
of government to resume their wonted activity.

MASSIVE MACHINERY.—In a late number we inserted a
notice of the large shaft made by the Mersey Steel and Iron
Company of this town. The company have since shipped,
on account of the Great Western Steam-ship Company, for
the same large steam-ship, two crank-pins, weighing together
about three tons. These also, of the kind, are the largest
ever made of wrought iron.

DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN BODY NEARLY DEVOURED
By WATER-RATS.-011 Thursday last, as agentleman in a
small punt was fishing in a reservoir at Ratcliffe, near Man-
chester, his line came in contact with a substance in the
water, hich, on being taken up, was found to be the body
of a human being in a dreadful state of decomposition, having
evidently been in the water for several months. The water-
rats had

a complete burrow,

in hzs body, and when it
one of these noxious ver-
min ran out of his neck between the lower jaw and the
shoulder! The body was recognised as being that of a me-
chaniz who disappeared about six months ago, and, from
other circumstances, Is supposed to have drowned himself in
the reservoir.
